I just used regular white vinegar in a spray bottle, undiluted. I've had a patch of terribly itchy scalp for weeks now and this morning just decided to spray some vinegar on it after washing my hair with regular shampoo and conditioner. I'm amazed that already the itching is greatly reduced. I'm going to do this every day until the itch goes away. I have a bottle of organic apple cider vinegar but it's expensive and thought I'd try the plain white instead. So far, so good!
I use to have thick and healthy hair until I had my children. I started losing hair in chuncks which was shocking and quite traumatic noir knowing the reason. Doctors were saying that was due to hormones and my hair should be back to normal once my hormones settled. Its been 8 years since my hair started to fall and got thinner and thinner. Recently I went to specialist and they able to found out from a biopsy that I have chronic inflammation of frontal scalp onhorizintgal and vertical section. The doctor could not tell me there as on of inflammation from the biopsy report so she has given me oral anti inflammatory medicstiin for 4 months.
I don't know if I should take the medicatiin oir sphoiuld try the home remedies first and see any difference. I was hoping that u might be able to help me with home remedies that might be suitable before I take the medication prescribed. For the past 2 year my scalp been dry with dandruff and very itchy and when I wash my hair my scalp is burning like its in fire or its like someone has put chillies on my scalp. I wash my hair 1 a week due to me very scared of a lot of hair fall during and after washing my hair.
my hair are long and healthy but now I have lot ofpatches in hair , itching terribally and bleeding followed by burning and some water like fluid comming out. which isthe bwst way to apply apple cider vinegar?
As per your description, your skin is bleeding and discharging fluid. So we recommend consulting a doctor to understand the exact problem. A visual inspection gives more precise root of the cause. Once you find the reason of the problem it will be easier to find the solution.
Dilute apple cider vinegar with more amounts of water so that smell can be reduced.
I don't know what that is but I have itchy hair with small white balls in it. My hair gets greasy easily, but with my new professional shampoo I can go one day without washing. What can I do to reduce the itching and the sand feeling in my hair?
As per your description above, we recommend you to consult a doctor to understand the exact problem behind the itchiness and small white balls. Once we get to know the problem, we can find out the perfect solution for it.
Yes, vinegar is also helpful for treating itchy scalp. It is difficult to choose one over the other as everyone reacts differently to the same ingredient.
Do I use conditioner on the ends if I use vinegar for itching. I have long hair and my scalp is so itchy and dry. I'm going to try the vinegar and I didn't know if baking soda was bad for colored hair but I also wanted to know if I still use my conditioner on the ends?
Baking soda is not good for coloured hair. You can try a different method mentioned in the article. After rinsing off the vinegar you can use conditioner on the hair ends.
I just use some of the apple vinegar with water. And it burns.. is that normal?
Slight burning sensation is common and indicates that it's working. However, if it is causing unbearable burning sensation, then stop using it.
I use straight apple cider vinegar…how often should I use it for dry, flakey scalp? Everyday, other day, three days a week??
Repeat the ACV process 3 times in a week.
I have severe burns on my scalp from a hair dye. My scalp is sore and itchy with burst blisters . How can I relieve the pain and mend my scalp.
We recommend consulting a dermatologist as soon as possible. A physical examination is required for providing a treatment.
Yes, you can use. Try and share your experience. If you want to know any other remedies then you can read this article – http://homeremediesforlife.com/hair-growth/.
My baby has a very itchy scalp. I just bought d dilute white vinegar. Pls how do I use it?? Do I still need to dilute it before spraying on baby's hair??
Yes, you have to dilute the vinegar properly before spraying it on your baby's hair. As her scalp will be more sensitive, we recommend starting with a very low dosage initially. Start with 2 tablespoons of white vinegar, dilute into 1 cups of water and spray it. However, we recommend to perform a patch test before starting the regular treatment.
Yes, it can. Soak handful of methi seeds in water overnight. In the morning, grind them into a fine paste. Apply the mixture thoroughly on the scalp and leave it on for an hour. Wash off the application with lukewarm water and shampoo. Repeat the process once or twice in a week for best results. Apart from that drink plenty of water as dehydration is also one of the reasons for excess oil production in our skin.
Usually, apple cider vinegar doesn't cause any dime sized bumps. So, try it once again and see if you have a new breakouts. If you think ACV is causing them then stop using it further. Apply aloe vera gel to reduce the bumps and treat the itchy scalp.

Musings on the Maudlin
What are the risks of an over-sentimentalized worldview?
by David K. Naugle
October 8 th 2010
Mary Magdalene was Jesus' most prominent female disciple. He cured her and other women of disease (Luke 8:2) and delivered her from bondage to seven demons (Luke 8:2; Mark 16:9). She ministered to him out of her personal resources (Luke 8:3; Mark 15:41), stood at the foot of the cross and witnessed his crucifixion and death (Matt. 27:56, John 19:24-26), went to his tomb (Matt. 27:61; Mark 15:47), and returned to the tomb on the first day of the week in the early morning to anoint his body with spices (Matt. 28:1; Mark 16:1; John 20:1). Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene after his resurrection (Mark 16:9); she reported the news about his resurrection to his disciples, saying, "I have seen the Lord" (Luke 24:9-10; John 20:18).
She is known as Jesus' foremost female disciple, but she is also known for her voluminous tears. If Jeremiah is properly known as the "weeping prophet," then perhaps Mary Magdalene should also be known as the "weeping disciple." Note the italicized words in this passage from the gospel of John 20:11-18.
But Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus' body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
They asked her, "Woman, why are you crying?"
"They have taken my Lord away," she said, "and I don't know where they have put him."
At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. "Woman," he said, "why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?"
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him."
Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means Teacher).
Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me [the famous—'Noli me tangere'], for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"
Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them that he had said these things to her.
(NIV, emphasis added)
It's interesting to note that the English word "maudlin," which refers to that which is overly, even sickeningly sentimental, comes by the long, circuitous route from the Maudelein of Middle English to the Magdeleine of Old French all the way back to the Latin and Greek Magdalene. "Maudlin" is thus derived from Magdalene—indeed, from Mary Magdalene, Jesus' foremost female follower, the weeping disciple! And indeed, classical painters usually depicted Mary Magdalene (or Maudlin) with red, swollen eyes as she wept profusely for her sins and out of gratitude for her Saviour.
Today, we are surrounded by the maudlin. There are dangers inherent in the maudlin (or overly-emotional or sentimental) character of much of Christian art, whether in music, literature, or the visual arts—my students often use the word "cheesy" to describe it. We need to be aware not only of the presence of such sappiness in Christian art, but also its pervasive presence in evangelical Christianity, and certainly in our culture at large.
But first another word or two more about the maudlin. (These thoughts parrot some remarks by Alan Jacobs in an interview on Mars Hill Audio Journal, Volume 100.) The maudlin is more than excessive sentimentality: it is the deliberate cultivation of and indulgence in emotion that does not square with reasoned reflection on truth and reality. It is intentionally-generated emotion in excess of what is appropriate for a given situation as dictated by a proper epistemology and metaphysics—that is, by genuine wisdom. This is not a criticism of emotion per se, but of excessive, ungrounded emotion; it is not to be cynical of feelings, but to question feelings that deceive. We must not advocate an excessive rationality—"a murdering to dissect" (Wordsworth), but we ought to encourage to necessary thought and reflection on whether emotions proposed for our consideration and experience are misleading, prone to spawn behaviour that is, at the end of the day, baseless and even unchristian.
For example, Robert James Waller's potboiler novel The Bridges of Madison County (which was one of the best selling books of the twentieth century, at fifty million copies) describes a four-day love affair between National Geographic photographer Robert Kincaid and disillusioned immigrant Francesca Johnson, whose husband and children are temporarily out of town.
Sentimentality of this maudlin sort encourages readers to set aside any thoughts or reflections that such a story raises, instead encouraging readers to wallow in the emotion of it all, to go with gut feelings, perhaps as potential justification for actual or potential adultery. (One book discussion club asks: How many of you cried at some part of this novel? Which part? And I would add, why?)
A maudlin sentimentality that bypasses reason, reality, and reflection and counts on an indulgence in mere emotion to carry the day, would bypass questions such as these: Could a four-day love affair really serve as an adequate basis for a lifetime of love? What view of love is implicit in such a scenario? Could such a brief illicit relationship ever really make Francesca a better wife and mother as she claimed?
Probably not. The sentimentalist knows this, but employs his or her sentimentalism to avoid thinking deeply about such things—and the result is self-deception. As William Butler Yeats once said, "The rhetorician would deceive his neighbours, the sentimentalist himself." Maudlin books like The Bridges of Madison County (surely you can think of more examples) encourage such self-deception and thus manipulate not only feelings, but also actions.
Why, I wonder, are we as human beings are so susceptible to the sentimental, to the maudlin? Why did 50 million people buy copies of The Bridges of Madison County? Furthermore, how is the sentimental and the maudlin employed to great effect by politicians? By advertisers? By evangelists, preachers, and teachers in the church? What are its consequences? By what conscious or unconscious measures can we avoid it?
In the Psalms we find an excellent counterexample to the maudlin and oversentimental. The Psalms cause us to reflect deeply on God and his mighty deeds and thus foster a deeper love for him. As a result, they show us a better way—a non-sentimental, un-maudlin, yet deeply emotional way—which we might well follow in our writing, speaking, teaching, and art. Consider this example:
The LORD is my shepherd,
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
As Augustine says, "God's voice is in the Psalms—a voice of groaning, a voice of rejoicing in hope, sighing in its present state—we should know his voice thoroughly, feel it intimately, make it our own." Go, therefore, and create likewise!

There have been 2,054 more resolved cases and 44 virus-related deaths.
Ontario is reporting cases from New Year's Day this morning due to the public holiday.
Today's numbers are only the second time that daily case counts have risen above 3,000 in the province. The first time was on Thursday, when 3,328 cases were reported.

Ontario is currently under a province-wide lockdown that will be in effect in northern Ontario for 14 days, and the southern part of the province for 28 days. The restrictions will be evaluated throughout the lockdown, rather than when they are set to expire.
Health officials confirmed that the three cases of the COVID-19 UK variant have been found in Ontario. The fast-spreading virus mutation was first detected in a couple from Durham Region.
Although the new variant of the virus has been found to spread quicker, there is no evidence to suggest that approved vaccines will be any less effective against it.
To date, Ontario has seen a total of 187,998 COVID-19 cases.

Director's Comments, Cristian Mungiu:
"The screenplay starts from the kind of personal experience that people usually don't share with others. Something unexpected happened with the people who came in contact with my story: once they heard it, they had a personal story of this kind to share. All of a sudden, everybody had something to say about this topic.
"I was amazed to discover how common yet hidden such stories are. Talking to people, I learned the most horrible of stories. I didn't use them in the film - I just followed the story I knew best - but they helped me understand how widespread the phenomenon was.
"I tried to make a film about my characters and about my story and not about the period. I wanted the period to be always just the context and not the subject of the film. I tried to respect and re-create realities as much as I could but not to push stereotypes and landmarks of late communist times in front of the camera.
"Objects of that period are all there in the film but in the background: the bus that ran on bomblike gas cylinders; Lastun, the local Romanian car that was often compared to an iron; the trash bins; the booklined walls. The habits from those times are also there: a pack of Kent cigarettes was much more important then the money you paid for it and you couldn't solve anything without it."
4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS
OUR THOUGHT-PROVOKING July film selection is worth seeing for a number of reasons: excellent acting, great filmmaking, a gripping, high-tension storyline, a controversial subject with life-altering consequences and the director's respect for his audience.
THIS IS A FILM ABOUT the nature of friendship and personal responsibility, offering a compelling and at times horrifying slice-of-life from the days of the communist-ruled Eastern Bloc nations.
SET IN ROMANIA during the final years of the oppressive regime of Nicolae Ceausescu (aka the "Butcher of Bucharest"), 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days takes place within a 24-hour time period as two women in their early twenties negotiate for an illegal abortion -- a not uncommon and often fatal act punishable by ten years in prison.
BUT THE REALITY of the film reveals otherwise - director Christian Mungiu does not yield to judgmental or polemic temptation. Rather, his film - based on a true story - is an observation of the conditions faced by women in Romania where the act was (and is) often viewed as a means of contraception; and where thousands of women have died as a result of illegal abortions. It is also worth noting that while abortion was banned in Romania under Ceausescu, it was not for moral or religious reasons but for the political purpose of increasing the population.
Film review by Larry Thomas, WVXU Cincinnati, July 19, 2008
As directed by the talented Cristian Mungiu, 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days is a shattering film showing how, in a Communist state, the thumb of oppression on its citizenry affects every personal decision, from a simple purchase to a life-altering event. ... Since the government at that time was watching everyone for everything, the film plays out like a tense spy thriller. ...The performances are terrific, especially Anamarie Marinca as Otilia.
In 2007, 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days became the first Romanian film to win the coveted Palm D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. If, as some have proclaimed, this film is the dawn of the new wave of Romanian cinema, it likely won't be the last. Too bad it wasn't nominated for the 2008 Oscar, as it would have been the front-runner.
© 2008, Cincinnati Public Radio Read the complete review ...
New York Times Critic's Pick,
Film Review by Manohla Dargis, January 25, 2008
"4 Months" deserves to be seen by the largest audience possible, partly because it offers a welcome alternative to the coy, trivializing attitude toward abortion now in vogue in American fiction films, but largely because it marks the emergence of an important new talent in the Romanian writer and director Cristian Mungiu.
Mr. Mungiu never forgets the palpably real women at the center of his film, and one of its great virtues is that neither do you. ... a triumph of aesthetic choices, of fluidly moving camerawork, rigorous framing and sustained long shots that allow you to explore the image rather than try to catch hold of it.

Film Review by Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times, February 7, 2008
Ebert Rating:
Gabita is perhaps the most clueless young woman ever to have the lead in a movie about her own pregnancy. This is a powerful film and a stark visual accomplishment, but no thanks to Gabita (Laura Vasiliu). The driving character is her roommate Otilia (Anamaria Marinca), who does all the heavy lifting. ... While Anamaria Marinca gives a masterful performance as Otilia, don't let my description of Gabita blind you to the brilliance of Laura Vasiliu's acting. These are two of the more plausible characters I've seen in a while.
Filmmakers in countries of the former Soviet bloc have been using their new freedom to tell at last the stories they couldn't tell then. "The Lives of Others," for example, was about the East German secret police. And in Romania, the era has inspired a group of powerful films, including "Mr. Lazarescu" and "12:08 East of Bucharest" and "4 Months," which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes 2007 ...
The film has inspired many words about how it reflects Romanian society, but obtaining an illegal abortion was much the same in this country until some years ago, and also in Britain, as we saw in Leigh's "Vera Drake." The fascination of the film comes not so much from the experiences the friends have, however unspeakable, but in who they are, and how they behave and relate.

Gamma-ray bursts as cosmic particle accelerators
Study provides new insights into the universe's most powerful explosions
A new study provides detailed insight into the most powerful explosions in the universe: gamma-ray bursts. The simulation explains the modes of particle acceleration in these rare events better than previous models and can explain conflicting astrophysical observations. Scientists from DESY and two US universites present their work in the journal Nature Communications.

Gamma-ray bursts happen when extremely massive stars go supernova. These explosions can be seen nearly across the whole visible universe, up to several billion lightyears. The giant stars' strong magnetic fields channel most of the explosion's energy into two powerful jets of electrically charged gas (plasma), one at each magnetic pole. These plasma jets are powerful natural particle accelerators.
Scientists expect the plasma jets to be a significant source of cosmic rays, high-energy subatomic particles (mostly protons) that constantly pepper Earth's atmosphere from space. These particles can have up to ten million times the energy of the protons in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), currently the most powerful particle accelerator on Earth at the European particle physics laboratory CERN.
But if gamma-ray bursts are a significant source of cosmic rays, scientists expect them for physics reasons to also shed a large number of light elementary particles called neutrinos. The IceCube observatory at the South Pole, in which DESY is the main European partner, is looking for exactly those high-energy cosmic neutrinos. However, none have been detected so far from gamma-ray bursts. This means that at least ten times fewer neutrinos reach us from gamma-ray bursts than were expected. "This throws up new questions for theory," says DESY scientist Walter Winter, a co-author of the new study. "Perhaps, our concept of gamma-ray bursts was too simple."

Neutrinos are mainly generated at lower distance from the source, cosmic rays at medium distance and gamma-rays at greater distance. Illustration Mauricio Bustamante/DESY
Existing models of these powerful explosions assumed that cosmic rays, neutrinos and gamma-rays all come from the same region within the plasma jets. The team of theoretical astroparticle physicists, including Winter from DESY, Mauricio Bustamante from Ohio State University and Philipp Baerwald and Kohta Murase from Pennsylvania State University, has now developed a more dynamic model of gamma-ray bursts. According to this model, the plasma is ejected in the form of shells at different speed. In considerable distance from the source, these shells collide, thereby accelerating particles.
This approach can not only explain the observed strong variations in the light curves of gamma-ray bursts. A consequence of this model is also that neutrinos, cosmic rays and gamma-rays must be produced in completely different regions of the jets. This can explain, why the expected flux of neutrinos could not be found. "We expect that the next generation of neutrino telescopes, such as IceCube-Gen-2, will be sensitive to this minimal flux that we're predicting", says Bustamante. In contrast to earlier models, this estimate is more robust and does only weakly depend on the characteristics of individual gamma-ray bursts.

Tor är en implementering av onion routing i fri mjukvara – ett slags anonymitetstjänst som ger sina användare möjlighet att kommunicera anonymt över internet. Projektet sponsrades till en början av US Naval Research Laboratory, men blev ett Electronic Frontier Foundation-projekt under 2004. EFF stöttade Tor finansiellt till november 2005, och står än idag för webbhotell för projektet. Den svenska biståndsmyndigheten Sida sponsrade Tor 2010−2013 med motiveringen att hjälpa frihetskämpar i diktaturer vara anonyma på nätet.

Tor innehåller flera lager av kryptering och anonymisering vilket gör att den som använder krypteringsnätverket kan surfa med väldigt liten risk att avslöja sin identitet. Den amerikanska flottan började utveckla metoden i mitten av 1990-talet i syfte att skydda myndigheters kommunikation. Krypteringen innebär att användare av Tor kan surfa med en annan identitet och med hjälp av Tors tusentals uppkopplade datorer blir det omöjligt att avgöra varifrån trafiken kom inledningsvis. Även skickade meddelande skyddas. Tor används ofta för anonym åtkomst av Darknet.

Namnet Tor är en förkortning av The Onion Router, där lökens (eng: onion) många lager symboliserar lagren av kryptering som Tor använder.

Tor Browser
Tor Browser är en webbläsare som utvecklas av Tor Project. Webbläsaren skickar all trafik över Tor-nätverket. Tor Browser finns för Windows, macOS (OS X) och Linux och Android.

Svagheter

I likhet med andra anonymitetsnätverk är Tor sårbart för attacker genom Javascripts-, Java- och ActiveX-sårbarheter samt andra typer av attacker där exempelvis bilagor i PDF eller DOC-format används för att avslöja användaren. Informationen som skickas i Tor-nätverket är krypterad, men bara fram till den sista noden inom Tor-nätverket. När sedan trafiken skickas vidare till resten av Internet kan Tor inte erbjuda någon mer kryptering än den användaren själv använder i det givna fallet, till exempel SSL. Om sådan kryptering inte används, kan ägaren av noden som används avlyssna informationen och se användarens data.

Säkerhet
Tor webbläsare erbjuder tre olika säkerhetsnivåer beroende på vad som bäst passar användarens behov.

1. Standard: Denna nivå har lägst säkerhet men ger användaren den bästa praktiska upplevelsen och har alla webbläsarens funktioner aktiverade.

2. Safer: Denna nivå blockerar användningen av JavaScript på alla sidor som inte använder sig av HTTPS. Vissa mekanismer som visar matematiska ekvationer är blockerade som standard. En del ljud och videofunktioner blockeras från att spelas upp automatiskt (HTML5 media och WebGL). På webbsidor där JavaScript är tillåtet så blockeras optimeringen av all prestanda, vilket kan resultera i en fördröjning av vissa skript.

3. Safest: JavaScript är blockerad som standard på alla webbsidor. Vissa ikoner, symboler, tecken och bilder är blockerade. HTML5 media och WebGL är blockerade från att spelas upp automatiskt.

Säkerhetsbaserade operativsystem
Flera operativsystem med inriktning mot säkerhet och anonymitet använder sig av Tor. Dessa inkluderar Liberté Linux, Qubes OS, Subgraph, Tails och Whonix.

Discussion in 'backup, imaging & disk mgmt' started by Longboard, Jan 2, 2006.
Could I pick your brains about experiences and recommendations for partition managers.
Good question, I need an answer too. Too many choices and most probably too many opinions to make it easier LOL.
Which one gets an A+ ?
I use Norton Partition Magic 8.05. And while i usually despise their software. This one has to be a big exception as it is excellent. And its GUI is very easy to use and understand.
This is most likely due to the fact that this is the exact same version as what Powerquest had gradually made great. Norton just bought them out and renamed their program to theirs. So in future releases expect added bloat and frequent instabilities in the software. But this version 8.05 is truly excellent.
Interesting. Of course freewares are often infected. Weird.
I agree...it works well for me also.
I use power quest partition magic (before norton) and it is an excellent product.
I'm with ya BigC. I use Powerquest PM 8.0, pre-buyout. Excellent piece of software.
if your quite confident then i would recommend BootitNG. all you do is download make a bootable disk (no need to install software) reboot with the floppy and you partition making selections with your mouse very basic gui.
I version 9 and 8 but DDS version 10 has some great new features.
I also like Paragon Partition Manager v7.0.
Partition magic is no as good as these two in my opinion.
How do you plan on using a PM?
1. BootItNG, because this is an all-in-one solution (partitioning + image backup) and the price is right.
I don't read any bad comments either.
2. PowerQuest Partition Magic, which is also very good according my readings.
I will try the trial versions anyway.
which means 26 minus 4 = 22 available drive letters for partitioning.
So I still need 174 drive letters, if I want 174 primary partitions.
My theoretical question is : where do I get 174 drive-letters, if the alphabet contains only 26 letters ?
AA, AB, AC ... ZX, ZY, ZZ perhaps ?
Since it's just a hypothetical question, here's one solution: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307889&sd=tech I have no idea if it works for primary patitions -- I kinda doubt it.
Thank you. So mounted drives are the solution to use more than 26 drive letters.
I leave it up to the partitioning freaks to create a wood of partitions on their computer.
I'm not going to stare at 200 partitions in Windows Explorer.


Our morning service on 7 August, led by Local Preacher Angela Storer, had a musical theme.
We sang a variety of hymns and songs (7 in all), including a three-part round, a Welsh hymn and a Wesley favourite. It was also a very participative service, with a trio singing and signing another song.
During the service, worshippers brought forward colourful quavers to stick onto a large stave, to represent our prayers for others.
Angela encouraged each of us to sing the song that God had given us, bringing together melody, harmony and rhythm.
Churches Together in North Shields were faced with a rare wet Good Friday this year, but did not let the weather beat us.
A huge crowd of worshippers packed into St Columba's Church for the service that would have been held in the open air of Northumberland Square. The highlight was the presentation of a Passion drama Voices from the Crowd. This was followed by a walk of witness around the town centre, with umbrellas and banners, led by the band of the Salvation Army. We paused in Bedford Street for a reading and a hymn, before returning to the square, after which many continued to church services or Messy Church.
About 25 people attended the 4th worship leaders' training day, organised by the Coast Mission Partnership, but open to all churches in the Northern Synod.
Retired broadcaster Revd Peter Moth led the day on the theme of communications, with jocular reference to Matthew 13 "You will hear and hear, but never understand; you will look and look, but never see." There was a mixture of practical advice, examples, and a chance to try for ourselves.
We learned to be aware of the building's acoustics, and to speak slowly and loudly enough to be heard. Microphones should be positioned so we can keep our heads up and see the congregation. Breathing was encouraged!
Writing for speaking is different from writing for reading, and we should try to make our use of language clear, direct and natural, avoiding 'kneejerk liturgy'.
We agreed that it was important to have some form of spoken address in church services, although not necessarily a traditional sermon. Explanation of Bible readings was increasingly valuable.
and there is even a place for silence.
It was a successful and worthwhile day, with the usual ample lunch provided.
"Leading public prayers is a privilege and an opportunity." This was the realisation voiced by one of the participants at third in a series of 4 training days for worship leaders and worship teams, organised by the Coast Mission Partnership.
Nearly 20 people from across the Synod attended the session held at North Shields Baptist Church, led by Revd Dr Jan Berry of Northern College. We learned about different forms of prayer, such as invocation, adoration, confession, thanksgiving, petition, intercession, offering, benediction and sending out, and when to use them in the context of a worship pattern of gathering, hearing and responding. Jan described different styles of prayer, such as structured, extempore, sung, responsive, bidding, silent, visual, musical and symbolic. We also shared experienced of what worked and what didn't from the congregation's point of view.
In the afternoon, Jan explained how to write prayers – by meditating on a theme, drawing on imagination to brainstorm words with both positive and negative associations, focussing on the angle to take, drafting out the prayer as it flows, then revising after a break. Prayers may have a definite structure and vivid imagery, and should be clearly spoken and not too long, but should avoid jargon, long phrases, clichés, and language that unnecessarily alienates or distracts the congregation.
Finally, we spent some time writing our own prayers, which were shared at the end. There were good points in each of them, with some expressing themselves particularly poignantly.
We all agreed that it had been a useful day, giving us greater knowledge, confidence and inspiration in leading prayers in our own churches.
More than fifty people came together for a youth service organised by the young people of the Coast Churches.
Children's & Youth Pastor Kevin Waller led worship at St Columba's on the evening of Sunday 5 May along with a number of young people. Chorus-singing was led by a young band with guitar, harmonica and singing. Two older girls sang a duet and a solo. Three younger girls talked briefly about how they took the first step to faith in Jesus. Sound and coloured lighting were managed by young people from St Columba's Technical Team, along with a video showing words, music and scenes from the local area, made especially for the service.
Later in the service, worshippers were given the option to sit and talk about the theme or take part in one of two workshops. The first involved re-imagining Psalm 139, either in words or pictures – including self-portraits. The second involved producing prayers based on the week's newspapers. Those prayers were later shared in the service.
Young and old alike were urged to let the light of Jesus' love shine out from their faces and their lives of faith. Adults were reminded that it was often through them that children and young people were enabled to grow in faith.
The next in this series of youth services will be held at St Andrew's, Monkseaton, on 14 July at 6.30pm. All are welcome.

It didn't make me hungry. That's an interesting response to have towards a film centered around food. Our story stars Bradley Cooper as talented chef, recovering addict, and all around asshole Adam Jones who basically blackmails the old friend (Daniel Brühl) he screwed over in his last job into hiring him as the chef for a mediocre London restaurant. Jones' motives are two-fold. First, he honestly does want to make amends to those he's wronged in the past. At least as important to him, however, is the chance to reclaim glory in the hopes of achieving the prestigious three Michelin star rating as one of the best restaurants (and chefs) in Europe.
I joke that the food on display didn't wet my appetite but Burnt deals with a different side of the retaurant business by focusing as much on its burdens, costs, and obsessive personalities struggling to work behind the scenes as it does about creating the food. Even when the film puts the food first the perspective is always more about the presentation of the meal than the meal itself. Although the film constantly tells us that Jones is culinary genius it rarely shows us actual examples of this on-screen.
Despite not being what I ordered, and being slightly overcooked, Burnt isn't a meal I would send back to the kitchen. Cooper does make Jones an interesting character to watch fight his own inclinations to implode when the going gets rough. Sienna Miller is stuck in the rather thankless role of the talented sous chef and single mother who needs her job too much to tell Jones where to stick it every time he deserves to be smacked down. I never quite buy the romantic tension between them. Sure they both love food, and he restaurant they are helping each other turn around, but I don't see that affection turning towards each other in any meaningful way.
As for the rest of the cast, the kitchen crew is serviceable but not memorable, Alicia Vikander is wasted in a small role as Jones' former flame who deserves far more screentime, Emma Thompson is your average smart-ass shrink who immediately sizes up her new patient, and Matthew Rhys has an intriguing role as Jones' rival who starts to get interesting when he stops behaving like an angry toddler. Here the film is certainly a little thin on ingredients focusing instead to promote Cooper as it's main course. (Don't worry, the food metaphors are almost finished.)
Burnt is far too similar to the movie version of fast food than it would like to admit. The characters are largely one-dimensional, the script offers few surprises (even when it attempts to do so), and it lacks an emotional heart by centering its story around such an unlikable character. Despite these issues the film still entertains on a basic level. It's certainly no gourmet experience, but for a cheap meal it may satisfy your hunger (at least for a couple of hours).

MGMT Doesn't Listen to the Voices on the Internet
MGMT AT LOLLAPALOOZA; PHOTO BY LEILA BRILLSON
A lot of fans want the cherubic Andrew Vanwyngarden and his college buddy, Ben Goldwasser, to be rock stars: the upbeat answer to Grizzly Bear, a weirder Kings of Leon. The problem is, the understated young men who make up MGMT aren't rock stars. That's not to say they don't deserve the thousands of people that crowded the Budweiser stage to watch them perform at Lollapalooza last week, but the rock star persona sold to the public (Neon paint! Kristen Dunst! Grammys!) doesn't sit right.
That said, the pop appeal of MGMT's breakout, Oracular Spectacular, ensured that everyone this side of a Justin Bieber concert was humming the infectious dance beat of "Kids" and "Electric Feel." When the boys set out to make the fluid, winding psych-rock adventure of this year's Congratulations, fans looking for anthems were crestfallen. "People were really upset that we had a 12-minute song. And they really, really hated the cover… Some people took that personally," Vanwyngarden reports. Perez Hilton lambasted them; Hipster Runoff regularly uses them for fodder; and Pitchfork gave the album a disappointing 6.8. Yet the album, even with its lack of a clear single, is complicated and compelling, deserving a second and third listen (and sounds great, this writer may add, live). "The people whose voices are on the Internet, on blogs and music review websites, aren't necessarily the opinions I give a shit about," says Vanwyngarden. "And the people I do give a shit about have said really positive things. A lot of musicians I respect really like the new album."
Without singles like "Time to Pretend," MGMT is selling out shows and inspiring new singalongs. Next week they play Radio City Music Hall. "I can't believe we are doing that. It's a really huge place. It's very New York," Vanwyngarden says of sharing the stage with The Rockettes. He remembers seeing Kings of Leon there, and he's excited to play alongside pal and ex-roommate Simon O'Connor (of Amazing Baby), remarks that sound like they come from someone playing Maxwell's, not Radio City. Perhaps their move towards the experimental cemented their staying power: sure, they aren't the soundtrack to Nicolas Sarkozy's campaign anymore, but MGMT never aimed for that type of fame (in fact, they sued over it). Instead, they proved they had a complex and labyrinthine album to put out, which, in the end, will provide a much richer legacy.

-You admitted guilt in open court.
Referrals to Youth Court must be made by the Judge for disposition purposes.
Youth Court is voluntary. Failure to successfully complete the Youth Court process will result in the remand of the case to the original court for disposition.
Youth Court is NOT a fact-finding court, it does not determine guilt. It only deals with dispositions (the sentence). Instead of having a judge determine what penalty to impose for the violation, a group of youth determine what sanctions the offender should perform. The focus is to repair of the harm done by the juvenile's acts. The goal is to assist the juvenile respondent in a better understanding of the effects of their actions. Imposed sanctions aid juveniles in recognizing the consequences of their actions and in rectifying their behavior. This process is carried out in an organized and supervised format.
1.	You must admit your guilt municipal court and be referred by the Judge.
1.	Check to make sure you qualify for Youth Court.
2.	Ask you basic questions about the incident involving the citation.
3.	Explain the Youth Court process to you.
5.	Explain the Youth Court Hearing to you.
6.	Give you a date when you and parent(s) are to appear before the Youth Court.
7.	Ask you and your parent(s) to sign a waiver form that allows Youth Court to access your police records (if there is need).
8.	Answer any questions you might have.
1.	Talk to you about the incident.
2.	Explain how the Youth Court hearing works.
3.	Answer any questions you might have.
4.	Help prepare you for the court session.
3.	The Youth Jury will decide what sanctions are right for you in this case and explain why they choose those sanctions.
6.	When you complete the other sanctions, you have to be trained and serve as a jury member for one to three nights of Youth Court Hearings.
7.	When all the sanctions are complete the Municipal Court will be notified and your citation will be dismissed.
If you are interested in participating in this program, please advise the clerk so a request can be given to the Judge at the time of your initial appearance.
If you decide to have your peers, through Youth Court, decide your sentence then you may wish to fill out the attached form. You do not have to do that now, you can do it at your leisure but it is useful to have when you meet with your advocate.

Values of the electrical resistivity, temperature coefficient of resistivity, thermopower, and superconducting transition temperature for a series of La100-xAlx metallic glasses prepared both as "splat-cooled" foils and "melt-spun" ribbons are reported. Differences between the two types of samples are discussed. We argue that the dominant contribution to the conductivity and thermopower is from La d states.

New Sedan Ups Mazda's "6 Appeal"
One of the best looking and most fun to drive Japanese sedans is even better for 2009.
It's the Mazda6 , which the company says is all new from stem to stern and top to bottom – and which surely looks and feels that way. In fact, so far as its looks are concerned, I think this is one of the best-looking sedans on the road today, sporty and modern and lovely to behold. And that's saying something; I thought the previous 6 was one of the nicest styling jobs around, yet park it next to the fresh 6 and the previous generation looks positively frumpy.
The new exterior is great. It's sleeker and more athletic than before – making it the sportiest among Japanese competitors such as Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Nissan Altima. Even the front fenders scream "Zoom-Zoom", thanks to wheel arches that look inspired by (or ripped off from) the racy RX-8.
Mazda's Hiroshi Kajiyama could be called the father of the new 6 and, according to Mazda's PR materials, he went into the project treating the car as a work of art rather than
an inanimate machine. His goal, apparently, was for the 6 to be "widely recognized as the best vehicle available in the intermediate segment," a car built on a foundation of three fundamental pillars:
A sporty appearance integral with a highly dynamic character. "We sought an exterior design capable of stirring any observer's emotions and distinguishing the Mazda6 from the competition," Kajiyama said.
A unique experience. Notes Kajiyama: "By elevating the quality level with exquisite craftsmanship, each Mazda6 will form a strong bond and a powerful emotional connection with its owner."
An insightful package. Kajiyama says "By building on our strengths and accomplishments, we're able to make the Mazda6 the most versatile, comfortable, and enjoyable automobile this company has ever produced."
Hype, maybe, but after my week in the 6 I can't argue with him. To me, Kajiyama and Mazda have pulled off exactly what they say they wanted: "the evolution of Zoom-Zoom."
According to Mazda, the '09 Mazda6 is larger in every dimension, with a wheelbase lengthened by 4.5 inches, an overall length stretched by nearly eight inches, and a width is increased by nearly 2.5 inches. Occupants may discover more headroom, shoulder room, and legroom, and they can haul 10 per cent more stuff in this version.
That means more "Room-Room" comes with your "Zoom-Zoom," and my rear seat passengers found the new dimensions particularly rewarding; they were treated to plenty of foot, knee and headroom, and to a 60/40 split/folding seat that's comfortable and supportive.
Motivating the 6 is either a new 170 horsepower (at 6000 rpm, with 167 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm), 2.5 liter four-cylinder or a 272 horsepower (at 6,250 rpm, with 269 lb-ft of torque at 4,250 rpm), 3.7 liter V6. Four-cylinder models come with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard equipment with an optional five speed automatic. V6 models only get a six speed automatic with manual mode.
My test unit was the four banger, which disappointed me initially because I was hoping to maximize the Zoom-Zoom. I was delighted to find, however, that the four cylinder engine is more than up to the task, and any fun that might have been trimmed thanks to missing oomph was made up (nearly, anyway) for by the lovely six speed stick, which snicks from gear to gear almost intuitively. It's the first Mazda six speed manual I can remember where I didn't have trouble finding sixth gear.
The power goes to the road through the front wheels, but – at least in the four banger I tested – I didn't notice a lot of torque steer. The car's independent suspension toes the line between comfort and "Whee!" very well, leaning a bit toward the "Whee!" side without forcing you to leave your kidneys back in the garage.
6's also come standard with four wheel disc brakes and ABS, with electronic brake force distribution and traction control. Pedal feel and brake performance are just fine, thank you.
The interior is contemporary, comfortable and attractive. My biggest complaint is that the hand brake is on the wrong side: it's mounted on the passenger side of the center console, where it's a bit of a reach and not particularly handy. I'm sure I'd get used to this if I owned a 6, but it felt weird during my week with the car.
I love the 6's user interfaces, which are simple and straightforward and right at hand for the most part. Unlike some of the increasingly-complex competition, the 6 has minimal buttons and knobs and yet everything you need is there, and it all works well. The only real gripe I had is that some of the buttons' labels are very small and hard for me to read without putting on my reading glasses.
Ditto for the digital display in the middle of the instrument panel, which is small enough that I had trouble reading it.
The driver's seat cradles the body nicely and the steering wheel, which also includes radio/cruise controls, feels great in the hands. Steering feel is also top notch, which is what one would expect from a car with pretensions of "Zoom-Zooming".
The window sill inside the doors is angled so you can't really rest your elbow on it, which seemed a little strange. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, though, since it may encourage drivers to keep both hands on the wheel.
Another interesting Mazda-ism that I first noticed on the new 6, and have seen subsequently on a couple of other models, is that when you turn on the cruise control the icon comes up amber and then, when you actually set it for a particular speed, it turns to green.
The windshield wipers do a great job, sweeping right over to the driver's side A pillar.
Another little touch that pleased me was the new clock controls. Though you don't use it often, I found Mazda's old clock setting procedure to be very difficult – requiring a trip to the owner's manual. The new 6, however, gives you three clear buttons.
As you'd expect, the 6 comes with power just-about-everything, including driver and front passenger windows with one-touch up-and-down functionality. Power front seats are available on the base model and standard on the GT. The AM/FM/CD audio system has six speakers and MP3 capability (and an auxiliary-audio input) and sounds good.
Safety stuff includes dual front and side air bags, dual side curtain air bags, and the usual assortment of belts, latches and the like. Mazda also throws in an anti-theft alarm and engine immobilizer theft deterrent system.
I really enjoyed my week the new Mazda6 . The car's a blast to drive, is comfortable and well-equipped, and is definitely a fine follow-up to the original version. I wish they still offered a wagon and/or hatchback version, but I guess Mazda forgot to send me a wish list when they went into the design process.
No big deal. The sedan is a wonderful car and I hope Mazda sells truckloads of them.
The 2009 Mazda6 starts at $19,220 U.S./$22,495 Canadian.

What is a "National" Party?
Political parties are antithetical to the very nature of democracy. That being said, they ARE the reality that the Canadian voter has to deal with, so recent events (specifically, the Dion - May Accord) have thrust the question back to the forefront: What constitutes a party that is truly national in scope?
I suppose that depends entirely on how one defines the word "nation" (I can hear the collective moans from here).
The Liberal party, dating as far back as 1997, has sworn up-and-down that the Reform Party/Canadian Alliance/"Reform Alliance"/Conservative Party was not a national party, no matter HOW many candidates it ran, for several reasons:
1) It didn't represent the views of all Canadians from all regions;
2) It didn't have elected members from all provinces and territories.
The Liberals quickly abandoned reason #2 when they lost one of their "territory" seats and were flushed out of Alberta completely, since to stick to that definition of a "National Party" would, by default, also eliminate them. In fact, it would eliminate ALL of our political parties.
Which brings us to the latest, most widely accepted definition of a "National Party": A party which runs candidates in all 308 ridings in Canada. (Funny: The largest democracy in the world, India, had candidates from 38 parties elected in its most recent general election - not a SINGLE PARTY ran in every national riding. Not a single one.) Using this definition, Liberals are screaming bloody murder, some in public and most in private, about Stephane Dion's decision to not run a candidate against Elizabeth May in Central Nova. By this standard, there were 4 "National Parties" in the last federal election: The Conservative Party, the Liberal Party, the New Democratic Party, and the Green Party. Yet, oddly, one of those parties was left out of the televised debates, in favour of a party that ran only 75 candidates.
Well, because the party in question, the Bloc Quebecois, DID run candidates in every single riding in the nation - the Nation of Quebec. Which, whether they recognize it in BC or Nova Scotia, IS a nation in the eyes of BQ members, and as such, they ran candidates in every riding.
"You can't cherry pick ridings", say critics of the Dion - May accord. "You have to run 308 candidates, or you lose credibility and disenfranchise your supporters in ridings with no candidate."
It's a valid point.
Consider this, though: If the vote is split on your side of the political spectrum - if your supporters are quite likely to vote for someone else if it's suggested by you that they vote strategically - if your fundraising efforts are drawing less than terrific results - then you MIGHT be better off forming some sort of unofficial co-operative agreement with another party that appeals to your voter base. Whether it be to refrain from running a candidate only in the other leader's riding, or to split up the country into more manageable areas in which to run a campaign, the bottom line is that despite the bad optics involved, this type of coalition makes good political sense. It was toyed with, but eventually shot down, when the Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservative parties were trying to figure out how to stop vote-splitting on the right. Now the Liberals and Greens are going to use it to at least ensure that Dion and May have one fewer candidate to run against in their own riding.
The only problem with this sort of arrangement is that eventually, once it gets to the point where the Liberals aren't running candidates in Alberta, the NDP abandon BC to let the Greens run there, etc., you get governments that not only don't have any members from a certain area, they don't have any VOTES from a certain area, either - essentially, NO ONE in the area elected the ruling party. Makes for some hard feelings. Legislative coalition governments are a possible answer, but although these can work on certain issues (defence policy, environmental strategies, etc.) they seldom work across the spectrum - if these parties agreed on more than a few issues, they'd all be members of the same party. Look to Israel or India for an example of coalition governments, and how frequently they fail.
At the end of the day, this accord will ensure that Dion gets a few hundred more votes, and will help May somewhat, although why she isn't running somewhere like Vancouver Island is absolutely astonishing to me... I know you want to make a statement by taking on the ruling party's deputy leader, but come ON... it will take a LOT to beat Peter McKay, and the riding isn't exactly a Green Party powerhouse. But it leaves people asking what a "national party" really is...
And, as members of ANY party will tell you: "It's what we are, and those other guys aren't".
Glad we cleared THAT up.

Fifty top companies and over 10,000 students will participate in this year's Careers UNWE 2019 forum, which will take place on 16 and 17 April, Chairman of the Students' Council at University of National and World Economy (UNWE) Angel Stoykov said in an interview for Focus Radio's Good Morning, Bulgaria. He pointed out that this year's forum will focus on the top companies in the Bulgarian market, including international ones. "This year's forum is entirely focused on the need to improve the relationship between business and education, not just with such career forums. Businesses should decide if they could be more involved in education. Discussion on this topic is needed as education is developing and only theoretical knowledge is insufficient for the successful development and successful positioning in the labour market," Angel Stoykov explained. He added that the forum allows companies to better present their internships or vacancies. The organisers of the forum, which is held for the third year, expect a large attendance of between 10,000 and 12,000 students. The companies that will participate in the event are from different sectors – the financial, marketing, legal, telecommunication, IT, etc. "The UNWE produces capable and knowledgeable people who are valued in the labour market," said Angel Stoykov.


While one car boasts outstanding driving performance and high fuel efficiency, the other offers high fuel efficiency and good handling. What is the difference between the two? The sporty handling dynamics set the tone in the all-wheel drive GLK 250 CDI 4MATIC BlueEFFICIENCY: The modern, four-cylinder diesel with 150 kW (204 hp) and an impressive 500 Nm of torque guarantees top acceleration and flexibility. In fact, this model has the most powerful four-cylinder diesel engine in the SUV world. The rear-wheel drive GLK 220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY with the familiar 125 kW (170 hp) diesel engine, on the other hand, impresses with even better fuel economy (consumption as low as 6.0 l/100 km) while at the same time delivering great performance.


Jennifer Ligibel, MD, senior physician, Susan F. Smith Center for Women's Cancer at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, discusses the impact of diet and exercise on the risk of breast cancer recurrence.
Many studies show that women who are heavier after menopause have a higher risk of developing breast cancer. There are also data that suggest that women who exercise more have a lower risk of developing breast cancer. The dietary factors are less consistent, Ligibel says. There is a clear increased risk of breast cancer for women who consume high levels of alcohol, but there are no links in specific foods or dietary patterns and the development of breast cancer.
Most of the evidence evaluating the factors of diet and exercise in breast cancer focus on how they relate to the risk of recurrence. There is a lot of evidence that these factors continue to influence outcome after a patient has developed an early-stage, potentially curable breast cancer. Studies show that women who are obese when they are diagnosed with breast cancer have a 30% to 40% higher risk of dying from breast cancer, Ligibel says. Emerging data have suggested that physical activity may be protective after diagnosis, as women who regularly exercised had a lower risk of recurrence.

Deans of Education
Delivering expertise in enterprise and innovation: Nanokicking stem cells into action
Our bodies' stem cells have a great potential to turn into other kinds of tissue such as blood, muscle or bone, but sometimes they need a little encouragement. Now a collaboration between the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) and the University of Glasgow has developed a novel way of nudging the cells where we want them - and turning them into bone.
The team, led by the UWS Institute of Thin Films, Sensors and Imaging, has developed an ultra-sensitive vibration plate that gives stem cells miniscule bumps. The technique, called Nanokicking, replicates a natural process - when broken bones knit during mending, they vibrate.
As well as helping in the treatment of breaks and fractures, the patented technology underpinning Nanokicking could help develop new treatments for osteoporosis and other conditions. Although it's at an early stage it's hoped the technique, unveiled at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition in London, will be ready for testing on people within three years.

On the occasion of International Women's Day 2018, a gathering of over sixty representatives of several Eritrean women's groups and women activists from ten countries across Europe convened a successful conference in The Hague, The Netherlands, from 9 to 10 March 2018. Eri-Platform facilitated the two-day conference, which aimed to strengthen solidarity, expand outreach and grow the network of Eritrean women in Europe and beyond.
The underlying theme was women's empowerment. Discussions sought to share experiences, lessons learned and approaches for enhancing women's participation in promoting gender equality within the overall framework of rule of law, democratic principles and respect for human rights in Eritrea. The conference provided an opportunity to share a range of experiences and challenges faced by Eritrean women at home and in the Diaspora, whether along migration routes, in refugee camps, or while seeking asylum in host countries; to help raise greater awareness of the woman question as an integral part of the general demand for democracy in Eritrea; and to join hands in the search for feasible solutions. Representatives and participants in attendance reflected Eritrea's cultural diversity, cutting across generations from youth to veteran freedom fighters.
The conference concluded by electing a committee to coordinate collaborative work at the local and regional levels toward improving women's participation and capacity-building.


Some major weekly levels have been broken on Friday after the strong NFP numbers and it looks like the US dollar have the advantage for the up coming weeks, before December important meetings. Technicaly, this is what I see now. The fall stoped here at 1.0705, near the possible stronger euro support at 1.0650/80, the support level from April. That could be the next real test for the bears, before multiyear low at 1.0460/500. The euro looks bullish today and on the way to recovery, the first resistance is holding for now at 1.0770/75, next the stonger one is waiting at 1.0810, the important one at 1.0850/70. Tough three weeks for the euro lovers, let's see how much and can they recover from this preaty huge decline!?

HotSpots H2O: Tracking Covid-19 Cases in the World's Most Vulnerable Countries
May 4, 2020 /in HotSpots H2O, WEF/by Kayla Ritter

The number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in countries identified as priorities in the humanitarian response to the coronavirus pandemic has surpassed 30,000, according to data collected by ReliefWeb, an online hub for international aid work.
The data is drawn from the United Nations, NGOs, and other relief agencies. It covers 25 countries that are experiencing major humanitarian crises, from Venezuela and Somalia to Myanmar. Most are enduring widespread shortages of food, water, and healthcare, and many are enmeshed in long-lasting conflicts.
As of May 2, a total of 31,868 Covid-19 cases had been confirmed in these countries, resulting in 1,116 deaths. A ReliefWeb map showing the number of cases in each country is updated frequently.
Of the 25 countries, Ukraine is currently experiencing the largest number of confirmed cases, with 11,411. Colombia (6,507 cases) is second followed by Afghanistan (2,469).
In response to the unfolding pandemic, the United Nations developed a $2 billion Global Humanitarian Response Plan aimed at supporting countries most devastated by conflict and poverty.
"The world is only as strong as the weakest health system," writes António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, in the forward to the plan. "This COVID-19 Global Humanitarian Response Plan aims to enable us to fight the virus in the world's poorest countries, and address the needs of the most vulnerable people."
The plan profiles each at-risk country, and notes that several are afflicted with inadequate water and sanitation systems, including Haiti, Nigeria, and Venezuela. It also lists drought as an emerging concern in Iran and Myanmar. Experts warn that water shortages disrupt handwashing efforts that are a first line of defense against the virus.
The plan details possible outcomes of Covid-19 through December 2020, and urges worldwide governments to respond quickly in order to minimize the devastation.
"I see three critical areas for action," Guterres writes. "First, tackling the health emergency. Second, we must focus on the social impact and the economic response and recovery. Third, and finally, we have a responsibility to recover better."
