USAID launches $6m 'EatSafe' initiative to improve nutrition in Nigeria
On December 4, 2020 3:23 amIn Newsby Bankole
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has launched a six-million-dollar "EatSafe" initiative, to support Nigeria to improve food security, safety and nutrition.
The agency launched the five-year programme on Thursday in Abuja with Kebbi as the pilot beneficiary state.
The project is to be implemented by Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), an independent non-profit foundation.
According to USAID, Nigeria will receive a total of $6 million in funding and implementation and the scheme will begin in Kebbi, which has the highest incidence of malnutrition in Nigeria. The project is to get $3.5 million in funding.
Mr Colin Dreizin, the Director of USAID's Office of Economic Growth and Environment, said that USAID recognized that food safety was crucial for improving nutrition for a healthy, productive and resilient Nigeria.
Dreizin, who joined the event virtually, said that EatSafe would explore innovative ways to engage stakeholders, including the private sector, to improve food safety and nutrition security.

He noted that ensuring safe and nutritious food for all was one of the key public health and social challenges of our time.
"An important challenge that we all face relates to food safety. In 2010, the global burden of foodborne diseases was estimated at 600 million illnesses and 420,000 premature deaths.
"More than a third of this burden of illness is shouldered by children under five years of age and more than half by people living in low and middle-income countries.
"Unsafe food is responsible for hundreds of diseases. Diarrheal disease, the most common, results from the consumption of contaminated food and causes illnesses in over half a million people and a quarter million deaths every year around the world.
"The occurrence of foodborne diseases remains a significant health issue in Nigeria, where food safety concerns include biological, physical and chemical contamination, adulteration, misbranding, illegal food trading and weak control over imported and exported foods.
"We are committed to working with the Nigerian government on the development and implementation of an effective food safety policy to reduce the burden of foodborne diseases in Nigeria.
"In response, USAID, under its Global Food Security Strategy, developed a country plan for Nigeria that builds on and aligns with Nigeria's priorities for food security and nutrition.
"We recognize how integral sustainable food safety and nutrition, together with strengthening resilience, building capacity and securing commitment are to Nigeria's journey to self-reliance," Drezin said.
Gov. Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi, lauded USAID for its support to the state, saying that the Federal Government and the state had also been carrying out awareness campaigns on safe food processing and consumption.
He said there was a need for more collaboration of government agencies and stakeholders in teaching people how to move from a consumption pattern to a safer and more nutritious process.
"USAID has recognized this as a global burden and is increasingly playing a role in generating global attention so we all can do better.
"Some of the challenges can be solved in a market-driven manner because a lot of food is being delivered by people who are participating in the market economy.
"But because of limitation in knowledge and limitation in packaging technology, they tend to conduct this business in ways that they can be supported and they would help deliver safer food to both the market and households.
"A visit to markets will show you hard-working men and women, who are participating in the provision of food items which is the major items of consumption in communities but they cannot invest in better packaging.
"You travel across the northern part of Nigeria and even some southern parts, you will see Fulani women carrying milk and milk products in calabash, headed to the markets by 6 p.m. the milk and milk products become stale.
"One can imagine how they will be helped by better preservation technology so that the milk can have a better shelf life and be delivered to the market and consumers safely," Bagudu said.
In his remarks, Mr Lawrence Haddad, Executive Director of GAIN, reiterated the need for more awareness creation on what unsafe food really is and how best people can pay attention to food safety.
He said that food safety was important because if the food were not safe, it would not be nutritious and that unsafe food would never be nutritious no matter the nutrients.
"To ensure food safety, we have to do a number of things, we have to make consumers aware of where food comes from, what safe food looks like and what it doesn't look like.
"We have to make businesses realize that the short-term is to sell food when its safe but long-term business proposition is to make sure your food is as safe as possible.
"We have to support them to do that because they do not have the capacity to do that. We have to support them through government programmes or business programmes.
"We have to work with governments and researchers because we have a lot of food safety issues and we have to know what issues we are dealing with," Haddad said.

Réserver Deadmau5
Joel Zimmerman doesn't like being called a DJ. The 28-year-old dance music phenomenon from Toronto, better known as Deadmau5, rolls his eyes a the description, which he sees as a hopelessly outdated way of describing what he does. His sets are closer to live performances. He plays mostly his own material, assembling tracks on the fly, using cutting edge computer technology, including software he's helped write himself. "There are no CDs involved," he explains. "It's a technological orgy up there and I try and keep it more my music than anyone else's. If people come out to see Deadmau5 I want them to hear Deadmau5 music."
It's an approach that's catapulted Deadmau5 into dance music's A-list. It's no exaggeration to say that he's the most exciting name in clubland right now. Over the last three years he's released a string of club hits, starting with the trance-house Hybrid Faxing Berlin in 2006. It was followed last year by the euphoric filtered keys of Ghosts N Stuff, while this year he reached Number 14 with the lush atmospherics of I Remember, his collaboration with American producer Kaskade — the track has now sold over 120,000 copies. This October, Zimmerman releases his new album, For Lack Of A Better Name, which brings together the best of his single releases from the last 12 months. It's not hard to see why the the pulsing dance groove of Hi Friend! featuring Mc Flipside and FML's military percussion and hard-hitting bass hook continue to fill dancefloors around the globe. The first single will be a new version of Ghosts N Stuff, featuring vocals from Rob Swire, one half of drum'n'bass/rock fusionists Pendulum. It's electrifying stuff.
Hard to believe that three years ago, Deadmau5 was all but unknown. He grew up in Niagara Falls, Ontario, 75 miles south east of Toronto. As a kid he was obsessed with computers. When he was 15 he started making chip tunes. "They're musical compositions made using the chips from old computers," he explains. Fellow chip tune alumni include Jesse Keeler from Mstrkrft, while hipster duo Crystal Castles are heavily influenced by the scene. When Zimmerman was 18, his chip tunes attracted the attention of the nu metal musicians in Los Angeles. At the time, artists such as Marilyn Mason were exploring a more electronic sound. Zimmerman ended up contributing to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee's 1999 rap metal album Methods Of Mayhem. Ten years later they remain friends as well as collaborators; last year they released two electro house singles — Chicken and Redic — under the name W.T.F.?
Around the same time, Deadmau5 became involved with a dance music radio show in Niagara Falls called The Party Revolution. It was a low-budget affair run by the local dance music record shop, Electrified Records. "Back then, cutting edge dance music in Niagara Falls meant Babylon Zoo," he laughs. His job was "technical whizz kid". In other words, he was the one who knew how to use a computer. "All those guys were interested in was recording two turntables onto a computer and burning off a CD so they could send it the radio station," he explains. "I over took them when it came to technology. I learnt about digital audio and making music on computers, new editing techniques. Every new bit of technology that was released to do with making music, I was on top of it, while they were still dinosauring it out playing on turntables."
One of the first things Zimmerman wrote after Duda left was Faxing Berlin. He released it under the moniker Deadmau5, using the same name as his one-man web developing business, which was itself named after a dead mouse he found in his computer one day (the unusual alphanumeric spelling is so it can function as a user name for online chat-rooms). He sent Faxing Berlin to British DJ Chris Lake, who passed it to Pete Tong, who played it on his Radio 1 show. The subsequent exposure turned it into one of the biggest records of 2007. The clever fusion of trance chords and house beat spawned a series of imitators. "It was quite a buzz to know that I'd influenced the course of dance music," says Zimmerman with a smile.
Tracks such as Not Exactly, Sex Lies And Audiotape and The Reward Is Cheese followed. Last year, Deadmau5 was the biggest selling artist on Beatport. However, Zimmerman's next masterstroke was to do with his image. Part of the Deadmau5 logo was a grinning mouse head with oversized ears. He decided to turn it into a mask. He contacted a firm in Toronto who made props for films, who agreed to build it. The first time he wore it at a club in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the audience were stunned. "I remember putting it on and looking out of the visor and seeing everyone in utter bewilderment," he says. "They were like, Who is this guy? Is he for real? But they warmed up to it real fast. When the Lights came on in the helmet and they started blinking to the beat, the place went crazy." It was a stroke of genius. Dance music is often accused of lacking a sense of theatre. Not Zimmerman. There are shades of Daft Punk about the Deadmau5 head.
He tells a story about wearing a crystal encrusted variant of the mouse head to the 2008 Grammy Awards ceremony, where he was nominated for Best Remixed Recording for his version of The Longest Road by Californian house producer Morgan Page. "Even though no one knew who I was, as I was walking up the Red Carpet, all these reporters and TV crews were stopping me. In the end I actually missed the award because it took so long. although it didn't matter because sadly I didn't win."
No Grammy just yet, then, but you wouldn't bet against him winning one in the future. Deadmau5 is on a dizzying upward trajectory. Dance music just got very exciting again.

Lithuanian social project uses fashion to fight against stereotypes about mental disability.
Head of Markuciai day care centre for people with mental disabilities Inga Bagdonaitė-Miknevičienė says that we shouldn't be sad and feel sorry for her centre's clients. She says it's nonsense to feel pity for someone who sees the world in a different light than you do. I do agree, completely. However, after watching a short documentary Antiidealas (Antiideal) about the fashion project involving young Lithuanian designers and Markuciai centre's clients, I could barely hold my tears.
Is it because we think we are superior and question 'why? or is it because we feel sorry for ourselves, for not being able to be real? I don't have the answer as I don't have experience working or even communicating with people who are mentally challenged (that's the right term, right?).
That is why the Lithuanian fashion project Antiideal by Irma Bogdanovičiūtė is so important. To the designers involved, to the models from Markuciai centre and to us, watching it. The idea of the project was born in 2015 with the mission to fight stereotypes and help understand the realities of people that are different from us. Six fashion designers Rūta Lendraitytė UTALLA, Vidmina Stasiulytė, Milita Balčaitytė and Elzė Sakalinskaitė (INDIGO TEKSTILE studio), Modesta Kremerytė KREMER and Aleksandra Glušinatė, and eight models Ramūnas Nausėdas, Petras Liutkevičius, Indraja Kalnikaitė, Aliona Zborovskaja, Jolanta Dobralovič, Marius Mikoliūnas, Giedrius Supranavičius, and Oksana Tulko, discovered each other and worked together to create unique clothes. But more than that, they learned a lot about each other and helped us understand, even if just a little.
We would like to invite you to watch the Antiideal documentary which speaks more than the words. Stay tuned for our exclusive interview with the project author and filmmaker Irma Bogdanovičiūtė, more photos and feedback from the designers involved.

Fraud detection startup Featurespace lands $32.3 million to accelerate international expansion and product development
Nickie Louise Posted On January 28, 2019
Featurespace, a provider of Adaptive Behavioral Analytics for fraud detection and risk management startup, has closed $32.3 million (£25 million) from a funding round to support international expansion and continued development of the company's software capabilities. The round was led by Insight Venture Partners and MissionOG, with participation from existing investors including IP Group plc, Highland Europe, TTV Capital, Robert Sansom and Invoke Capital. The investment will also be used to support the continued distribution of Featurespace's real-time ARIC platform.
Founded in 2008 Bill Fitzgerald and David Excell, Featurespace is the world-leader in Adaptive Behavioural Analytics and creator of the ARIC platform, a machine learning software system developed out of the University of Cambridge. The ARIC platform uses anomaly detection to analyse complex behavioural data in real time, spotting anomalies to block new fraud attacks as they occur. ARIC reduces the number of genuine transactions incorrectly identified as fraud by over 70%, enabling businesses to accept more revenue. Headquartered in Cambridge, UK, and Atlanta, GA, U.S. Featurespace's ARIC platform is used by organizations in over 180 countries. Featurespace's customers include Betfair, Vocalink/Zapp, Worldpay, and TSYS, the largest third-party processor of Visa and MasterCard® credit cards in the U.S.
Commenting on the fundind, Martina King, Featurespace CEO, said:"We have made tremendous progress over the last 15 months since our last fund raising – and this fund raise is the largest to date. The additional funds will enable us to continue rapidly growing the business internationally by focusing on our products, our people and our customers."
"Working very closely with our customers, we have developed a market-leading product to meet their fraud detection and prevention requirements. We have also significantly strengthened our senior management team and operational infrastructure, and opened an office in Atlanta, Georgia."
"We have also grown our financial services customer base and now are working with 17 banks across continental Europe, the U.K., U.S. and Latin America. Equally important, we have become the technology partner of choice to a number of payment processors and merchant acquirers that have embedded our real-time fraud prevention technology in their anti-fraud solutions."
Insight Venture Partners is a leading global venture capital and private equity firm investing in high-growth technology and software companies that are driving transformative change in their industries. Founded in 1995, Insight currently has over $20 billion of assets under management and has cumulatively invested in more than 300 companies worldwide.

Let's Play Monmusu Quest: Paradox! part 25
Natalia Port
It's part 25 of the Monmusu Quest: Paradox walkthrough and we've finally reached a new continent. The first part is back here and the last part will likely be posted some time in 2020 at this rate.
Yesterday we ran into the first of the ancient trio of succubi, Morrigan. She got into a fight with a mysterious angel and we ended up being rescued by mermaids. Our first introduction to Natalia Port is waking up in a mermaid's bed (not with the mermaid herself, sadly).
There are two mermaids in the house and they're also the source of our first quest on the Sentora continent. Things are not okay in Natalia Port. Mermaids and Fishermen have gone missing.
This is a little different. Last time around Natalia Port was largely content apart from the odd loony terrorist going around blowing up pubs. Luka's quest was to go visit the Queen of the South Sea Temple to ask her to bless a marriage for a mermaid, Meia, and her husband-to-be. And that was only really dangerous because the monster girls on the way were all predatory types that wanted to eat him, and the Queen, Kraken, was dim-witted enough to think he was trying to steal her treasure. Now there's mass disappearances and everyone's nervous. Meia isn't even here. Her door is locked and there's a note on it indicating she was the first to go missing.
Dark times indeed.
If you've recruited them, various monster girl characters are roaming around the town. This is one aspect of Paradox I've really liked. Even the lesser characters all have stuff to do. In Natalia Port there are a few additional spots other than the usual Hips (the Orc) and Amira sightings. The two kitsune are looking out over the sea and wondering how it got so big. Mary the sheep is getting drunk in the pub and has to be dragged out by Barnny the rabbit. There's also a scene with Bunni, the slime girl that thinks she's a rabbit. She can be found eating some discarded carrots. Promestein comes along and injects her with something. This has repercussions in the game as Bunni goes from being a Slime that can learn some Beast skills to being full dual race (unfortunately neither of those two races is particularly strong, but it might present some useful combinations when we get to the intermediate level races).
There's also a bit more lore of the MGQ-verse revealed. The scylla by the docks really hates lamia and is very eager to tell you about their weaknesses to cold. This is also alluded to in the level-up progression of both races. Lamias get the Tentacle Killer ability while scyllas get the Snake Strangle and Lamia Slayer abilities, implying both races don't share a lot of love for each other.
There's also a battle-fucker up by the north-east exit from Natalia Port. As usual you can recognise her house by the knackered dudes sprawled outside the door.
Outlast her technique and you can earn a Priest scroll.
Once outside of Natalia Port and the game opens up a great deal. It's a whole new continent with a lot of new wandering monsters. Up until now I'd been a little frustrated with the slow progress. This was the point where I could go whoo-hoo! and go charging around to see how many new monster girls had been added. I got fairly far as well. By running away from every encounter I was able to make it all the way to the deserts in the west before being eaten (literally, it's MGQ) by one of the djinn girls. I'm not sure this is the best way to go about things as it does spoiler the inhabitants of the new locations. What can I say, I'm impatient.
Instead of going through a big list of all the over-map wandering monster girls, I'll ration them out for posts set in the same area. For the next quest there's no need to step on the green bits of map anyway.
Our next destination, the South Sea Temple is a sparkly bit of beach on the world map to the west of Natalia Port. Entering this takes us to another of those outdoor dungeon type areas. On the shore right in front of us is another sparkly patch that leads to the temple itself. Before going there it's worth investigating this area and grabbing all the swag in the chests (and occasionally getting eaten by a mimic, because they're here as well).
By now the game has a pattern. Areas brand new to Paradox get new monsters. Areas repeated from MGQ get repeated monster girls. I'm not sure there's any way to avoid this as each section of MGQ often had three encounters in sequence and three to four is probably the right number of encounter types for each area. On the beach we get the appropriately themed crab girl, sea cucumber girl and shellfish girl.
The crab girl wants to wash us, the sea cucumber girl wants to be a nice comfy sleeping bag for us, and the shellfish girl wants to stick her tongue in parts of our anatomy where the sun don't shine.
There is a brand new monster girl – seaweed girl – but as she's also present in the next section as well I'll talk about her tomorrow when we head off into the depths of the South Sea Temple.

"The two kitsune are looking out over the sea and wondering how it got so big."
They're fun. They'll keep showing up from now on (they might even be in the "old" towns, not sure about that), always with the same pattern:
Timid/modest Taoism Kitsune asks a naive question, Genki Girl Ninja Kitsune gives a stupid answer to hide that she has no idea, Taoism Kitsune is impressed by Ninja Kitsune's Wisdom...
"By now the game has a pattern. Areas brand new to Paradox get new monsters. Areas repeated from MGQ get repeated monster girls."
Eh, while that's true for some dungeons, I'm pretty sure most regular locations have at least one new girl...
And later on in the game, there are entire areas without any old girls. Especially the area around "Saloon", the last town - The dungeon is filled with new girls, the area is filled with new girls... But then, you mostly just pass through it on the way to the final Tartarus section, where you end up meeting lots of "old friends".
"and the shellfish girl wants to stick her tongue in parts of our anatomy where the sun don't shine."
And marry us. Can't forget that.
/me looks forward to your reaction to what's coming up next...

The two kitsune are great. After seeing what they did with the orc girl I was hoping they'd do that with others.

I'm with Yuuto, since I didn't beat this with any kind of translator I have a gist on what goes on in the sea temple, but am curious for that part most of all. Looking forward to it when you post it up.
Oh, I used a translator and know what's going on. I just think it's... slightly amusing, definitely surprising, and I don't want to spoiler it.

Sharing my research and love of science with the world is one of the best perks of the job. Below are highlights from a few activities I've had the honor of participating in over the years.
Every two years, the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the University of Hawaii hosts a public Open House. Thousands of people show up over the course of two days to learn about their planet and how we study it. Julia Hammer's group is always in charge of the explosive eruptions exhibit, which I was lucky enough to participate in four times. Pouring a bit of liquid nitrogen into a soda bottle and closing the lid provides the driving force for an "eruption" of water and hollow plastic balls from a sturdy trash can.
In 2014, my PhD advisor and I were interviewed on ThinkTech Hawaii about our work. I speak about our research on a martian meteorite around the 34 minute mark.
Throughout my time at UH, I helped Scott Rowland teach middle school students about earthquakes, via a hands-on activity. Students set out geophones, whack a strike plate with a large hammer attached to a computer, read the resulting seismogram, and triangulate the man-made earthquake location. To help some who struggled a bit, I created a simple and silly activity for students to complete beforehand, to get a handle on the concept of graphing and velocity.

Hot tub pumps can become noisy when not working properly. Since hot tub pumps only last about six to eight years, loud noises produced from hot tub pumps means it's time to either repair or replace the pump. Any loud noises protruding from the pump should be promptly addressed before the pump fails and damages other parts of the hot tub, such as the heater. Loud noises can also come from the spa motor, which is an internal problem you should repair promptly.
Disconnect the electrical power, and remove the spa's access panel for safety reasons. If you have slice valves installed on either side of the pump, close them. If you don't have these valves, drain the hot tub.
Inspect the hot tub pump to see if it's hot, and find out if the pump has bad bearings caused by a leaking seal shaft. If this is the case, your pump is not turning freely and you are wasting money.
Determine if your hot tub pump has become noisy due to no or low water flow. Clean or replace your filters, if necessary, and check if the pressure switch is clogged. If you still have no or low water flow, check both the circulation and filter pumps.
Contact a spa professional in your area to diagnose the problem of your pump, and either repair it or install a new one. Trying to repair these kinds of problems with your hot tub can be dangerous and could even damage your hot tub.
When purchasing a new pump, buy a quality one because they consume less energy and last longer, thus saving you money over time.


Attempts to unite the US Congress on legislation to overhaul the US immigration system have hit a major stumbling block.
While efforts appear to be under way to reunite families separated by Trump's "Zero Tolerance" policy, attempts to unite the US Congress on legislation to overhaul the US immigration system have hit a major stumbling block.
Members of Congress failed to pass one of two immigration bills. The legislation backed by hard line conservatives in the ruling Republican Party, would have stopped separation of families at the border - but also would have approved $25bn on President Donald Trump's border wall, and drastically tighten existing rules on legal immigration.
In another sign of legislative dysfunction, voting was delayed till Friday on a rival plan devised by more moderate Republicans. It too is given slim odds of passage.
Opposition Democratic Party members unanimously oppose both bills.

In our quest to eat only the types of foods we believe will improve our overall wellness, my wife and I have found it particularly difficult to handle snacking. Many will say that if you are eating meals properly, there should be no need for snacking.
From a nutritional standpoint, I'm completely on board with that statement. But I also like to eat. And sometimes, I'm in a hurry.
So we started out buying some snacks that we felt were reasonably healthy and conformed to our nutrition goals. We have really enjoyed LÄRABARs. They are relatively tasty (considering what you're eating) and they're made out of only things that Carly and I want to eat.
The only problem is that they're stupid expensive. We believe that nutrition is so important that you should be willing to spend money on it. But there's no reason to spend more money than is necessary. So we decided to see if we could create the LÄRABAR experience with our own ingredients.
It turned out to be incredibly simple. Below is the recipe (if you can call it that) and a picture of what I made. Carly has also tried making them into little balls, which is a bit easier. These take 15 minutes to make a batch of, and are delicious and healthy!
In the case of my last batch, I used a cup and a half of each.
Using a food processor, pulse cashews into small pieces. [Note: consistency is important. You're looking for small pieces, NOT powder/nut flour.] Set aside.
Put dates in food processor and pulse dates into a paste.
Fold date paste, cashew pieces, a large pinch of salt, and 2 Tbps warm water in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
Place in refrigerator and let chill for 1 hour. This is just to make cutting individual bars easier. If rolling into balls, there's no need to refrigerate first.
Remove the parchment paper and place on a cutting board. Cut out bar-shaped pieces.
Store in refrigerator until ready to consume.
Below is a picture of the last batch of bars I made. We keep these in the refrigerator, although I'm not sure you would have to. These make a great, filling snack, and are full of the healthy fats that we want to be eating.

Q: How to access the arguments of parent function in nested function in javascript? I am trying to find the maximum of two numbers using the following code using a nested function in javascript, however, I am encountering the following error in console "Uncaught ReferenceError: maximum is not defined", seems that the nested function val2 is not able to access the argument of function val. Any idea on how can we fix this?
function val(maximum)
{
    var val2=new Function('input','if(input>maximum){return("Number is greater");}else{return("Number is less")}');
    return val2;
}

var call=val(5);
console.log(call(2));

A:
seems that the nested function val2 is not able to access the argument of function val

While you are creating the function inside another one, new Function behaves as if the function was created in global scope, i.e. it doesn't have access to the function environment it was created in. See MDN for more details.
There is no reason to use new Function, you can just create the function directly and you will be able to access the outer function's arguments, because every function in JavaScript is a closure:

function val(maximum) {
  return function(input) {
    if (input>maximum){
      return("Number is greater");
    } else {
      return("Number is less");
    }
  };
}

var call=val(5);
console.log(call(2));

I hope it goes without saying that this is better than writing code inside a string literal. There is almost never a reason to use new Function to create a function.

A: maximum = 5;
function val()
{
    var val2=new Function('input','if(input>maximum){return("Number is greater");}else{return("Number is less")}');
    return val2;
}

var call=val();
console.log(call(2));

The above will work. In case you define functions using new Function, it doesn't close on the function from where it is created but closes on the global env. That why i have moved maximum outside and it works. You can read about closures for more on this.

David Wilson, Chairperson Deafblind Association NZ Charitable Trust, welcomed members of the deafblind community, interpreters, whānau, the full Board and Executive Officer. We had a roll call. Very importantly Dave also thanked Jeanette for her kai capability and keeping us so well nourished! Dave explained that this was an informal opportunity to bring forward questions, to share concerns, and identify priorities.
It was noted that some people had also attended the Helen Keller Day celebrations that week so may not have wanted to come to two functions, that transport may be an issue, and that coming to Christchurch is difficult for people around the country. The Board will be addressing these issues.
Given the disclosures in an environment built on trust at the time, names and residential locations would not be minuted in this report. People shared relationships already formed in terms of who had met before and where. Time was given to this so people could be very clear about names, whether they had met before, and what organisations they represent. Initially there was some confusion, but we soon relaxed into shared stories and conversation all could learn from.
Dave noticed how animated one person became when talking about the Deafblind Camp. Another was silent as they had concerns and did not attend because they were not sure about appropriate support in advance far enough to make a decision.
In discussion around what we want in our lives, it became apparent the deafblind hadn't connected on a one-to-one with Blind Foundation staff in respect of Deafblind Services as often as they would want, and in one instance it had been 18 months to two years. The question was asked, Who is out there for us and what are the deficits? Further, it was expressed that the staff lacked training re doing a Needs Assessment. This led to an expression that residential care staff not only lacked training but it went far beyond that.
During disclosure of experiences of residential abuse that, it would be fair to say, shocked many and commanded full focus, we were advised that Ruth Dyson, our patron, had entered the room.
The details were graphic. Further, no professional help, including counselling, had been offered following incidents – whether counselling was wanted or not, a choice wasn't offered. Discussion then moved to Standards and Monitoring Service. They go into residential facilities but what story do they see? Who is going to believe the person who has been abused? Are appropriate communication styles used in a physically and emotionally safe environment? Who is going to help? The Board agreed to put this into the annual Work Plan.
Feelings of isolation surfaced, and the desire to meet more people, especially other deafblind persons, to share experiences with. Geographically, deafblind communities tend to be small, and the opportunities to meet others from around the country are limited. It was suggested that Zoom Cloud meetings could be set up, supported by Deafblind Association NZ, to enable people to connect and identify with people in other areas. The support of Deafblind Coordinators from the Blind Foundation will also be sought.
When the cake arrived with candles to celebrate David Wilson's birthday (it's one with a zero at the end), there were opportunities to mix and mingle by everyone present, and interpreters facilitated this.

Study: Vitamin D Supplements May Protect From Colds
A promising study in Pediatrics found that making sure kids have sufficient Vitamin D during winter's darkest months may decease the incidence of acute respiratory tract infections by 50%.
Vasily Fedosenko/Reuters
PROBLEM: Vitamin D (the "sunshine vitamin") is known to be important in developing and strengthening bones, but it may also have positive immunological benefits. It's naturally produced by the body in response to sunlight, so people tend to have lower levels of vitamin D in northern regions (where winter days are shortest). This study assesses the vitamin's role in protecting children from acute respiratory tract infections (ARIs, AKA colds) -- and tests whether supplements are an effective preventative measure for individuals with vitamin D deficiencies.
We Are Pathetically Failing at Safely Putting Children in Cars
Parenthood Keeps the Common Cold at Bay
City Kids Twice More Likely to Have Deadly Food Allergies
METHODOLOGY: The sample population consisted of schoolchildren in Mongolia, a country known for its harsh, dark winters and concurrent vitamin D deficiencies. Blood tests administered prior to the double-blind experimental period confirmed that the kids already had low levels of vitamin D. From January to March, the 143 children's daily glasses of milk were fortified with 300 IU of vitamin D (undetectable to their taste). One hundred four others received ordinary milk. Incidences of ARIs throughout the three-month period were reported by the children's parents.
RESULTS: The kids who drank the "special" milk had higher blood levels of vitamin D, as one would expect. This was indicated by their average blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, which, at 19 ng/mL, were not fully restored but nonetheless represented a significant increase over the control group, which maintained the initial baseline level of 7 ng/mL. These same children reported half as many incidences of ARIs, even when adjusting for age, gender, and "history of wheezing."
CONCLUSION: Supplementing the diets of kids with low vitamin D levels is strongly associated with a decreased incidence of acute respiratory tract infections (colds).
IMPLICATIONS: The authors point out that while the study was conducted internationally in a unique environment, the children in this study could be considered analogous to other at-risk populations. A 2009 study in the Archive of Internal Medicine reported that nearly 3 out of 4 adolescents and adults in the United Staes have insufficient vitamin D levels. African American children living in northern states have the highest rates of deficiency. Breast-fed infants and the elderly also tend to suffer from vitamin D deficiencies.
While the study suggests the people with deficiencies would benefit immunologically from taking supplements, it remains unclear whether children with already-healthy levels of vitamin D could also reduce their risk of ARIs. At the time this experiment was conducted, the recommended dosage of vitamin D was below 300 IU, but it has since been increased to 400 IU.
The full study, "Randomized Trial of Vitamin D Supplementation and Risk of Acute Respiratory Tract Infection in Mongolia," is published in the journal Pediatrics.

Daniel McLaren - Budget Analyst
I started working at SECTION27 on 01 November 2017
I work as a Budget Analyst. That means I analyse how government generates, allocates and spends public money, in light of its constitutional obligations to ensure equality, redress and the realisation of socio-economic rights. I do this through a combination of research and advocacy and by ensuring that SECTION27 plays a leading role in collaborative civil society initiatives on budget related issues. These include IMALI YETHU and the Budget Expenditure Monitoring Forum, as well as ad-hoc initiatives such as the campaign against the VAT hike in 2018 and longer-term campaigns for better allocations and spending on health and education in particular.
I stick around because the energy, drive and dynamism of the people who work at SECTION27 is somewhat infectious (and dangerously addictive).
After a period working for two environmental and human rights organisations in rural Zimbabwe, I completed an MPhil in Human Rights Law at UCT in 2014 while working as a Research Intern at the Legal Resources Centre. However, my most formative experience was at Studies in Poverty and Inequality Institute in Johannesburg, where I worked as a Senior Researcher until 2017.
I love playing football and cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

Learn to Embrace Your Own Sensuality

In our bodies, everything is connected. Our sense of touch can change our mood. Our sense of sight affects our perception of flavor. Our sense of smell can transport us to a fond memory. Our sense of taste dictates what we choose to put in our bodies and how we feel.
Today we speak with Emilio and Christina, the founders of luxury lingerie brand and concept store, The Great Eros, about how we can learn to discover and love our own sensuality.
Splendid Spoon: Hi Emilio and Christina! Tell us about yourselves and your journey to creating The Great Eros.
The Great Eros: Hi! We both worked in fashion, retail, and film for over twelve years, and ran our own businesses. We had moved on from our projects and were working together consulting fashion and retail companies.
The Great Eros was conceived over a bottle of red wine at home. After the conception of the brand, we were biking through Williamsburg and noticed the empty shop. We thought it would be the perfect home for our store, where we'd share our modern concept of creating love and connection through our products and a warm, welcoming environment.
SS: What rules have you broken to escape the stereotypes of the lingerie industry?
TGE: Ha! All of them! Opening a shop and brand which sells latex, leather, luxury fragrance and fine jewelry alongside each other hasn't ever been done in the way we do it! We offer an intimate experience to the woman who isn't into boudoir, but is into being a woman.
Also, it's definitely unusual for a straight, tall, hairy dude to work in a shop that mainly sells intimates for women. It was important to us to create a space that was inviting to men and women. The space and attitude of the store is very masculine in its materials, but feminine in its lines and shapes.
SS: How do you choose the materials for your products?
TGE: For us, the materials are so important that the product names are actually inspired by them. We think about all the different aspects of the sense of touch — the feel, breathability, wearability, and texture — as well as how it fits in with the palette of our line.
SS: What does sensuality mean to you?
TGE: I think lately we've been using it as a synonym to sexy, since sexy has garnered so many negative connotations. To us, sensuality is inspiration, enjoyment, and fulfillment in your intimate life.
SS: How do you embody your definition of sensuality in your work and lives?
TGE: The Great Eros is an extension of who we are: our interests in sensuality are visible in what we make and sell. We embody this personally by simply being ourselves. We have a passion for mindfulness, pleasure, communication, dates, and love making. We make sure we're always physically working on ourselves so that we mentally feel better.
SS: How do you stay grounded while you live in NYC?
TGE: Rituals are so important to everyday life. We always create a calming ambiance at home: incense, candles, tea, and salt baths. Emilio meditates in the morning and I meditate before bed. We splurge on trips to the Aire Ancient Baths [A Tribeca spa inspired by the bathing rituals of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. — Ed], and also love chilling in front of the TV with good takeout!
SS: Your store's atmosphere invites self-care and confidence. How do you create this vibe?
TGE: Thank you! It all starts with self-care, so we want to focus on that: you'll never be able to give to another if you haven't fully given yourself what you need. We want you to leave the shop feeling empowered.
We create a visually calm space through the light colors and textures, and an open floor plan. We keep the more sensual objects in a dimmer lit, more intimate, room, and our fitting rooms have tonal lighting that's flattering instead of frightening.
We love to connect with our customers, hang out with them and tell the story behind every product. We also host monthly events at the shop as a way of building culture and community.
Our store is designed to be a multi-sensory experience. Obviously buying lingerie uses the sense of sight and touch, but we wanted to include all the senses. We sell chocolate for taste, fine fragrances for smell, and make playlists with our favorite DJs for sound.
SS: How can we use our senses to inspire love and connection?
TGE: Try to use all your senses every day to be present, open, and adventurous.

Windsor Express fans react after a big play at the WFCU Centre, March 4, 2014. (Photo by Mike Vlasveld)
London Reporter On Express Boot
By Ricardo VenezaApril 2, 2014 12:12am
A veteran columnist for the London Free Press is shocked he was barred from covering Game 7 of the NBL Canada conference final between the Windsor Express and London Lightning.
"Really, this is really strange because in 40 years in the business this has never happened to me," says Morris Dalla Costa, who has been covering the league since its inception three years ago.
Dalla Costa was told by WFCU Centre staff just before the game Tuesday night that Windsor Express owner Dartis Willis would not allow him into the building to cover the game and Dalla Costa would have to leave.
"I'm a little shocked at the commissioner who has a league that's so desperate for publicity that he would basically not do anything about it; that's the one thing that sort of surprised me," says Dalla Costa. "It's not the type of publicity they want. You know I've got a ton of emails from people who didn't even know the league existed and for this to be the first time that they've heard about a league that obviously is so insecure they have to kick out columnists and kick out people who have different opinions, I don't think that it's a particularly good thing."
Despite being stopped from covering the game, Dalla Costa is urging fans not to give up on the league which he believes has a highly entertaining product that is under sold.

Naomie Olindo Forced To Film With Trashley Jacobs As Punishment For Missing Cast Trip
You can't turn a whore into a Housewife or a Southern Charm cast member.
According to a four-piece exclusive from Tamara Tattles, the producers of Southern Charm were trying their hardest to make Trashley Jacobs happen on the upcoming sixth season and like fetch, it's just not going to happen. Trashley was pretty much the only drama on last season so it will be odd to see what a group of mostly friends fight about this year.
There were allegedly four attempts to get Trashley on this season and each one ended in a complete flop. Eliza Limehouse, friend of the show, hosted an event for the cast where Trashley was invited by production to play the role of her friend. The cast were ambushed when they saw her and apparently dodged her for the entire event so she wouldn't get any air time. She attempted to go on an apology and claimed she wasn't dating T-Rape but no one was buying what she was selling. Her real enemies Kathryn Dennis and Patricia Altschul weren't in attendance.
The second Trashley appearance occured after Naomie Olindo ditched the cast trip to Colorado after her doctor boyfriend didn't want her going away with her ex-boyfriend Craig Conover. Wow. Is the doctor really threatened by Craig and his sewing? As a result of her missing the trip, production punished her by making her film a one-on-one scene with Trashley where the nurse turned sugar baby blamed her behaviour on Thomas, Kathyrn, alcohol or whatever else before Naomie told her in the nicest way to go back to California because there's nothing for her in Charleston. In other words, she told her to get the fuck off the show. The scene may not even make it to air because Naomie didn't give the drama production hoped she would.
RELATED: The Best Reality Shows of 2018
The third time production tried to throw Trashley onto the cast was when Eliza Limehouse threw a fox hunt at her plantation and T-Rape's sometimes girlfriend turned up (again) without the cast knowing. Everybody was pissed she was there because it was so unnatural for her to be amongst their group. She allegedly apologised and hugged Kathryn, which the redhead hoped would put closure on this chapter and get her off the show for good. But she was wrong.
Trashley's fourth and final appearance, forever, was when she was invited to Patricia's finale event (by production) which was taped January 17. Production apparently wanted some kind of interaction between Patricia and Trashley, however, during the event, Queen Pat was wearing expensive jewellery and hired a bodyguard to protect her, which also came in handy for kicking Trashley out of the party and giving the show zero drama to work with. The cast know if they don't give Trashley attention or drama, the producers have nothing to use and there'll be no reason to bring the bitch back.
Although Trashley sucks, I think can all agree on that, she makes amazing TV and without her and a cast who mostly get along, I can't see what the drama would even be. If the boys are fighting over a girl again, I'll pass.

When you "accentuate" something, you put an "accent" (or emphasis) on it. So it will come as no surprise to learn that etymologists have traced "accentuate" back to "accentus," the Latin word for "accent." "Accentus," in turn, combines the prefix ad- with cantus, meaning "song." Other descendants of "accentus" in English include "accent" itself, as well as "accentual" ("of, relating to, or characterized by accent").
These example sentences are selected automatically from various online news sources to reflect current usage of the word 'accentuate.' Views expressed in the examples do not represent the opinion of Merriam-Webster or its editors. Send us feedback.

Built in 1852 and registered on the National Register of Historical Places, this elegant Manor House is welcoming to all her guests.
The grand front porch invites you into this unique plantation home where, through the generations, many have celebrated life's special moments. Once in the home, one can see how the old and new sit side by side to create an inviting and relaxing atmosphere.
This six thousand square foot home, with its' tall ceilings, pine floor and spectacular views will surely make any event memorable. The flow of the ground floor makes small or large gatherings comfortable and fluid.
One can relax in one of the many common rooms. Such as the library where one can sit quietly in front of the fireplace to browse through one of the many books in the owner's publishing collection, or entertain in the elegance of the Parlour.
For those looking for a less formal area, enjoy the openness of the family room with its' screened porch overlooking the terrace and pool.
Entertaining is easy in the lovely dining room and the over sized kitchen which can accommodate even the most ambitious of chefs.
The ground floor would not be complete without the Yellow Room with it's private bath and Victorian double bed.
Upstairs on the second floor the style and history of the house is clear in each of the individually exceptional bedrooms that lead off from the upper hallway.
The beautiful Red Room, with its original furniture and toile fabric shares a bath with the equally striking twin Blue Room.
The Green Room with it's eclectic mix of old and new and en suite bathroom is warm and inviting. Opposite this, across the hallway is the Brick Room, with its double bed and ensuite is named from the exposed brick which are handmade and original to the house.
The elegant Master Bedroom with spectacular views over the plantation, has it's own en suite bathroom with free standing double sinks, and opens into the Master Sitting Room. This is a gentleman's study into which one can retreat after a busy day of exploring the area or simply having a bit of quiet time! It opens out onto the Master Porch, where ceiling fans cool you on a hot day enabling you to view the plantation from the shaded porch.


In the hectic fast-paced urban lifestyle, our health often takes a back seat. Taking out an extra hour to go cycling or to Zumba class may not be possible. But getting some form of exercise, without hitting the gym, is possible. Here are 6 ways you can get the recommended 150 minutes of exercise per week (or 30 minutes per day).
Walking for 30 minutes at a reasonably fast, steady pace (around 3 to 4mph — 5 to 6km/h) can burn up to 175 calories and gets the heart pumping. Don't miss any opportunity to take the stairs or use public transport. Go get groceries yourself instead of having them delivered, even if the convenience of delivery is seriously tempting. Heading out shopping is a great form of exercise in disguise. An hour spent walking around a supermarket or mall can burn up to 200 calories.
In the office, set small goals to make yourself get up and about. Getting up and taking a five-minute walk once an hour is a great way to stay active. Why not go see a colleague at the other end of the office or in a different department, trekking across corridors and staircases if possible. Or go get a glass of water from a water fountain or kitchen on a higher floor, for example. If the company has a staff lounge or a lunch room, try doing a few stretches to keep stiffness and tension at bay. Simply getting up and getting moving eight times a day can soon add up to 40 minutes of physical activity, burning around 300 calories with relative ease.
Why not go see a colleague at the other end of the office or in a different department, trekking across corridors and staircases?
There's no reason for city dwellers not to enjoy time in the garden. With shared allotments and community garden projects springing up in towns and cities, you can burn calories and work up a sweat mowing the lawn, digging, turning soil, stacking logs, weeding and raking leaves. It's also a great opportunity to relax and take a breather from urban life, get close to nature and perhaps even learn some new approaches to agriculture.
Cleaning may not be the most glamorous activity, but it's a chore that's got to be done. It's also a great way of getting moving and burning calories without even realizing. Vacuuming, cleaning windows and mopping floors can burn 250 calories per hour. Stick on your favourite music and get to work with gusto.
Not everyone has the time or energy to go out dancing in a nightclub, bar or gym after work. Busting a groove in the comfort of your own home is a simple alternative that's easy and effective. Whether alone or with family and friends, push back the sofa, stick on your favorite tunes and get moving. Dancing is a great way to work up a sweat and get a smile on your face. An hour of dancing can easily burn 400 calories.
Taking the dog for a walk is an easy way to get at least 30 minutes of extra exercise into your day. Plus, it's something you're likely to do on more days than other activities. Dog owners can easily attain the 150 minutes of weekly exercise recommended to stay in shape.
