All of Krya's products use only forest collected or organically grown grains, lentils and herbs, and contain no synthetics.
A common synthetic chemical used in products for normal - oily skin is the Sulphate family (SLS & SLeS). This is a common synthetic cleanser which adds detergency to a product. However on skin, these compounds are extremely dryng and irritating on skin, and can leave normal skin patchy with uneven oily and dry zones. Sulphates also acclerate skin aging as they are extremely harsh in their action, and by frequent use of these products on your skin, you might dry out your skin much faster.
The Krya Classic Face Mask is a non-foaming, soap-free, SLS-free, SLeS-free, Paraben-free, Phthlate-free, synthetic colours and fragrance free, PEG-free , hydroquinone-free, petroleum free product.

The herbs used in this formulation have a natural skin clarifying, nourishing and skin smoothening action. Your skin will feel refreshed, moisturized and soft immediately after washing off.
Formulated as a nourishing aid to normal - oily skin.
Hi, I have used classic face wash powder and classic face pack. I must say both are very good and skin does not feel dry after the use. It is clean and yet supple. I did not feel the need of moisturizer after using these. It is little hard to get used to the powder. I bought hair care product; Krya Classic Hair nourishing system. I amazed at the quality of the oil and the mask was good too. I used the hair wash powder. But, could not remove the oil. My hair felt clean and I did not suffer from the side effects of sulphates. All in all, these products have left me with a very good feeling of being pampered by mother nature.
Just one suggestion for the packing. Pl. Use zip lock bags and stick name of the product on the ziplock bag. It will be much easier to handle.
Thank you krya team for making such Wonder products.
Make a thick paste with 1- 1.5 tablespoons of the Krya Classic Face mask powder mixed in cool water or coconut milk or pure almond oil, and mix the product well without any lumps. Apply as a thick mask on cleansed skin on the face and the neck, avoiding the delicate eye area. (We recommend using the Krya classic face wash to ensure gentle and effective cleansing before applying this mask).

Novel Agent Attacks the Cause of Vaso-Occlusive Crisis in Sickle Cell Disease
Vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) is a severely painful disease manifestation in adolescent and adult patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Currently, treatment is limited to controlling pain, most commonly with opioids, but a new investigational therapy may be able to disrupt the underlying causes of these blood vessel obstructions.
A multi-institutional research team evaluated the efficacy of a pan-selectin inhibitor, GMI-1070, in treating these occluded blood vessels and found encouraging results in terms of reducing the time to VOC resolution. "I think it's the most promising study to date regarding a potential new therapy that would intervene in the process of vaso-occlusion," lead investigator Marilyn Telen, MD, from Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, told ASH Clinical News.
The intense pain associated with VOC is believed to be caused primarily by binding of both red blood cells and leukocytes to endothelial selectins, which restricts blood flow causing local tissue ischemia and pain. GMI-1070 functions by reducing the adhesion of leukocytes and the capture of sickle red cells by leukocytes, thus improving VOC and survival, explained Dr. Telen. The agent has been granted orphan drug and fast-track status from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of VOC.
Dr. Telen and investigators enrolled 76 patients (56 adults, 20 adolescents) from 22 North American sites participating in the phase 2, double-blind study. Eligible patients were between ages 12 and 60 years, had not been transfused in the prior 14 days to receiving GMI-1070, and had five or fewer VOC episodes in the previous six months.
Time to resolution of VOC, the study's primary efficacy endpoint, was defined as a sustained 1.5-cm decrease in visual analog scale (VAS) pain score from baseline and transition to oral analgesia, or documentation for discharge. Secondary endpoints were length of hospital stay, cumulative opioid use, safety, and pharmacokinetics.
Patients were randomly assigned to receive either placebo or GMI-1070 every 12 hours for a maximum of 15 doses. The study drug or placebo was administered intravenously at a loading dose of 20 mg/kg, followed by 10 mg/kg doses to reach a minimum plasma level of >20 µg/mL within 24 hours of initial evaluation. After a pre-planned population analysis in the first 11 subjects, the dosages were doubled in the remaining subjects (31 patients at original dose; 45 at higher dose).
All patients achieved the primary efficacy endpoint of VOC resolution. The time to resolution of VOC was substantially – although not statistically significantly – shorter for GMI-1070 than for placebo: a 41-hour (or 28%) reduction in mean time to resolution and a 63-hour (or 48%) reduction in median time to resolution (TABLE).
In terms of safety, the investigational agent was safe, with few treatment-emergent adverse events; again, there were not statistically significant differences between the two treatment arms.
The 83 percent reduction in IV opioid analgesic use with GMI-1070 was an "unexpected" finding (p=.010), Dr. Telen noted. "I think the emphasis is that we're making people's pain better so they are not using opioids as much," she said. "If you ask patients what they want, they want the pain to stop."
While the study was small in size, the positive findings suggest that GMI-1070 effectively interferes with the pathophysiology of progression of VOC and may promote its early reversal. Dr. Telen added that, although the current study evaluated GMI-1070 as a monotherapy, the agent could possibly be combined with other therapies to improve VOC resolution.
"My personal view is that, ultimately, we will use therapy that is aimed toward multiple therapeutic targets, such as the combination of antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and beta-blocker therapies used in heart attacks," she said. "We need to do something similar in sickle cell vaso-occlusive crises – targeting basically every piece of the process that caused this occlusion of coronary vessels."

HOUSTON – (March 9, 2016) – Hot weather is significantly associated with clinical visits among migratory farmworkers compared to other patients, according to a study by researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) School of Public Health, published recently in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
Lead author Kai Zhang, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology, Human Genetics and Environmental Sciences at UTHealth School of Public Health, used data from the Community and Migrant Health Center in Colorado to compare clinical visits among migratory farmworkers, seasonal farmworkers and non-farmworkers.
Migratory farmworkers are those who travel for agricultural work while seasonal workers do not change homes or travel away from their established homes for work.
Zhang measured heat effects by using weather data obtained from the National Climate Data Center and ozone levels from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Throughout the summer of 2013, the year in which the data was collected, the average of daily mean temperatures was 71 degrees Fahrenheit and average daily ozone concentrations ranged from 0.036 to 0.074 parts per million. The current national standard for ozone is 0.070 parts per million, according to the EPA.
When Zhang compared hot days to average days, he found that migratory workers were 88 percent more likely to visit a clinic when not factoring in ozone levels and 96 percent more likely when factoring in high ozone levels. There was no significant increase for clinic visits among seasonal farmworkers when temperature and ozone levels were high.
"Migratory workers are more susceptible to heat-related health issues for several possible reasons. They tend to have poorer living environments, including a lack of air conditioning; suffer from poverty, which has been linked to a higher risk of vulnerability to heat; and may lack family support for prolonged periods of time. Also, their immigration status may make them more vulnerable to labor abuses," said Zhang.
Zhang found that the impact of heat on migratory farmworkers was more significant among males than females. Men were 118 percent more likely to visit a clinic on hot days compared to normal days while women were 57 percent more likely to visit a clinic on hot days.
"Heat has a significant impact on migratory farmworkers, even in a moderate summer. This research suggests possible significant impact of heat on migratory farmworkers and provides justification for undertaking further studies, making regulations and developing heat preventive programs," said Zhang.
While the research was done in Colorado, Zhang notes that Texas has a much hotter summer than Colorado and is the second largest agricultural state in the United States. With many migratory farmworkers supporting the agricultural industry in Texas, Zhang says his study suggests that migratory farmworkers in Texas might suffer even more heat stress than those in Colorado. He hopes to access the same data in Texas in future research.
Co-authors of the study include Sharon Cooper, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Epidemiology, Human Genetics and Environmental Sciences at the School of Public Health San Antonio Regional Campus, and School of Public Health students Rony Arauz and Tsun-Hsuan Chen.
This study, titled "Heat effects among migrant and seasonal farmworkers: a case study in Colorado", was supported by the Southwest Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (5T42OH008421) from the National Institute for Occupational and Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Center for farmworker Health and the Community-Based Research Network (CBRN).

Thomas E. Miller
For other people named Thomas Miller, see Thomas Miller (disambiguation).
Thomas Ezekiel Miller (June 17, 1849 – April 8, 1938) was an American educator, lawyer and politician. After being elected as a state legislator in South Carolina, he was one of only five African Americans elected to Congress from the South in the Jim Crow era of the last decade of the nineteenth century, as disfranchisement reduced black voting. After that, no African Americans were elected from the South until 1972.

Miller was a prominent leader in the struggle for civil rights in the American South during and after Reconstruction. He was a school commissioner, state legislator, U.S. Representative, and first president of South Carolina State University, a historically black college established as a land-grant school.

3 Political career
Early life and educationEdit
Miller was born in Ferrebeeville, South Carolina, named after his adoptive mother's likely slaver. His origins were unclear although he apparently had majority European heritage. The historians Eric Foner and Stephen Middleton found that his mother was a fair-skinned mulatto daughter of Judge Thomas Heyward, Jr., a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and his father a wealthy young white man, whose family rejected their relationship. They forced him to give up his son for adoption.[1][2] He was adopted by former slaves Richard and Mary Ferrebee Miller, who were freed by 1850.
The boy's European appearance long prompted speculation about his paternity. In 1851, his family moved to Charleston, where Miller attended a school for free colored children. When the Civil War ended, he moved to Hudson, New York. Because of his appearance and high proportion of European ancestry, Miller could have passed for white in the North, but chose to identify as black and return to the South to help the freedmen. Receiving a scholarship, Miller attended Lincoln University, a historically black college in Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1872.
Miller returned to South Carolina, where he was appointed as a school commissioner of Beaufort County that same year. He studied law at the South Carolina College (now the University of South Carolina), where black students were admitted for the first time under the Republican state legislature, and graduated in 1875. He was admitted to the bar that year. (After Democrats regained control of the state legislature in 1876-1877, they forced black students out of the flagship college.)[3]
Marriage and familyEdit
He married Anna Hume, and they had nine children together.
Political careerEdit
Miller was elected as a Republican to the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1874, serving three terms until 1880. He was elected to the South Carolina Senate in 1880, serving one term until 1882. He was nominated for lieutenant governor but did not enter the race. He struggled his entire life to find acceptance in the black and white communities. African-American political rivals dismissed him as a white imposter attempting to take advantage of the post–Civil War black electorate. Yet Miller, who embraced the black heritage nurtured by his adoptive parents, was also ostracized by white colleagues.[4]
Despite the issues, he was elected chairman of the state Republican Party in 1884.[4]
In 1888, Miller ran for U.S. Representative from the 7th Congressional District, which had been gerrymandered by the state legislature to include many blacks. They defined other districts to have overwhelmingly white populations. The Democratic candidate William Elliot challenged him and won the official vote count, 8,358 to 7,003 for Miller.[5] Miller contested the election result, and pressed allegations that many properly registered black voters had not been able to cast their ballots, due to the confusion of the "eight-box ballot" system established in 1882.[6] Whites received instruction but blacks did not and suffered votes being disqualified as a result. Over the years, the discouragement of the system had caused a severe drop in voting turnout by blacks.[7] The House Committee of Elections ruled in Miller's favor, and he was finally seated in the Fifty-First Congress in 1890. He was defeated for his seat in the election by William Elliot in the fall election for the Congress starting in 1891.
As African-American candidates competed in "black" districts, men's ancestry became part of the political fodder; tensions became heightened between mulattoes like Miller and darker-skinned politicians such as George W. Murray. Miller, Robert Smalls (also a mulatto) and Murray competed for the Republican nomination in the 7th "shoestring district" during the 1890s. Murray took it in 1892.[7] Miller was re-elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1894.
He was also a delegate to the 1895 South Carolina constitutional convention called by the white supremacist governor, Benjamin Tillman. Historian Michael Perman wrote that "in no other state was a single public figure identified so vividly and indisputably with disfranchisement."[8] Tillman and other Democratic leaders intended to go beyond the statutes to eliminate black voting.
The new constitution was one of a number passed in southern states at the turn of the century that were designed to effectively disfranchise African-American citizens by changes to voter registration rules. South Carolina's version required longer residency, literacy tests administered by white supervisors, poll taxes, and $300 worth of property. Miller, Murray and four other black delegates to the convention opposed the document and refused to ratify it. They drew national attention to the issues by publishing accounts in the New York World newspaper.[7] The Democrats passed the constitution and effectively disfranchised most black voters for more than half a century, which also disqualified them from serving on juries or holding local office.
Miller did gain the support of Tillman to establish a land-grant college for African Americans in the segregated state school system. In 1896, the Colored Normal, Industrial, Agricultural, and Mechanical College of South Carolina was created in Orangeburg. The historically black college developed into South Carolina State University.[4]
Appointed by the governor as the College's first president, Miller resigned as state representative. He continued to be politically active and, in 1910, opposed the election of Coleman Blease as governor. After his victory, Blease forced Miller's resignation because of his opposition.[4]
Miller moved from Orangeburg back to Charleston, where he worked on various community causes. Supporting United States participation in World War I, he helped recruit 30,000 black men to the Armed Services.[4]
From 1923 to 1934, Miller lived in Philadelphia, but he returned to Charleston. He died on April 8, 1938.[9] He asked for the following to be inscribed on his gravestone: "Not having loved the white less, but having felt the Negro needed me more", related to his work for civil rights and his decision to identify as African American rather than white.[10]

The Val d'Orcia is a strong symbol of the Land of Siena.
Cypresses, the so called "blue trees", are the arrows of a virtual compass. They are the sentinels of the landscape that accompanies the traveler. The road that ties the Land of Siena from west to east, uniting the Val d'Orcia with the Val di Chiana is a natural lookout point and, justly, famous.
The itinerary leaves from San Quirico d'Orcia. The borgo merits absolutely a visit; the Collegiata dei Santi Quirico and Giiulitta, the church of the Misericordia, the Palazzo Pretorio,Palazzo Chigi and the churches of Santa Maria di Vitaleta and Santa Maria Assunta. Also must-sees are the Horti Leonini, the gardens of the 15th century designed by Diomede Leoniwhich host expositions of contemporary sculpture.
From here we will go in the direction of Pienza on the beautiful ridge road that has grand vistas of the hills that run into the distance. Soon you will come to Pienza, an obligatory stop on this route. Pienza is noted as an ideal town, creation and expression of a humanist renaissance, founded on a new world inspired by a cosmopolitan philosophy, tolerant and open. In order to translate architecturally the values of this culture, Enea Silvio Piccolominientrusted the project to Bernardo Gambaretti who was called "Il Rossellino". He was an architect of the school of Leon Battista Alberti, capable of inventing a city that would materialize the humanistic and renaissance ideals. Work began in 1459 and after only three years PopePius the Second deliberated the birth of the city.
The view of the street that wedges itself between the Cathedral and Palazzo Piccolomini is superb; the big sky panorama of the Val d'Orcia is unmistakable, in the distance you can see the castle of Radicofani and the large shoulders of Monte Amiata.
The trip continues onward towards Montepulciano. The road seems to have been designed by a landscape architect. The perfume of pecorino cheese will tempt you to stop in one of the many farms that produce this wonderful food, but then you'll remember that you've already stocked up on pecorino in the shops in Pienza.
Montepulciano is the other intermediate stage of our voyage. It's time to shut off the engines and trust your own legs, Montepulciano is a city of great interest. We highly recommend a walk into the underground cantinas where it's possible to taste one of Tuscany's prestigious wines, the Nobile of Montepulciano. You will continue on towards Chianciano and Chianciano Terme where the waters are virtually as special as the wine. Here you can let yourself go, taking care of your health and wellbeing.
In the final part of the trip you will leave the poetic Val d'Orcia for the mysterious and fascinating culture of the Etruscans which, in the city of Chiusi, you will find an important reference point for. Here history has ancient roots which can be found in the signs left by the Etruscans. There's a world to discover in the underground catacombs and tunnels such as the labyrinth of Porsenna. Fans of the Etruscan culture will be sure to visit the National Archeological Museum in Chiusi as well as those in Chianciano Terme and Sarteano.

I'm just back from a couple of weeks in Tropea in Calabria and all I can say is WOW!! It's such a beautiful part of Italy, I have never been that far south and I completely fell in love with the place. My dad retired last year and decided to buy a little pad in the sun and they are now the proud owners of a lovely one bed apartment in Zambrone which is about 10 mins drive from Tropea. They are a 5 min drive to the beach and this is the view above from their terrace. There is a major problem though, my family is probably going to fall apart over this apartment as we are all going to want to stay there a LOT and there is 4 daughters, there will be trouble ahead…….
I love the colours in this one….
everywhere we went it just got more beautiful….
« lemon meringue at La Cucina….
Wow!!! beautiful pics! I especially like the last one. just amazing. Thanks for sharing!
One of my all time favorite towns in all of Italy. The beach there is spectacular. My mother actually spent a year in the church on the rock when she was a little girl…it used to be a school. Hope you had an amazing trip.
oh my god the pics are amazing the colour of the sea is out of this world. wish i was there now! rainy ireland 😦 food looks fab -making me hungry!

O&R's Restoring Power to Last 2,500 Customers Out From Storm
Pearl River – December 26, 2020 -- 10:30 AM
About 2,500 Orange & Rockland electric customers remain without power at this hour as a result of a powerful storm, featuring high winds and heavy rains, that roared through the region beginning Dec. 24 at 7 p.m. through Dec. 25 at 8 a.m.
O&R company, contractor and mutual aid crews so far have restored electric service to over 60,000 customers whose power was knocked out by the storm.
O&R estimates that 95% of the customers impacted during the storm in Orange, Sullivan Rockland Bergen and Passaic counties will be restored to service by 11:00 pm tonight. Sussex County has no outages at this hour.
O&R will continue its repair and restoration work until all its customers who can be restored to service are back in power. Typically, the most challenging and complicated service restoration projects are tackled in the final stage of service restoration. Those projects take longer than typical restorations because the damage is generally more severe and requires more rebuilding and replacement than repairing. In some cases, O&R cannot restore service until the customer makes repairs to his/her building so the building can safely receive electric service.
O&R's entire workforce has been fully mobilized to restore service, support field work and address customer needs. To accelerate that service restoration, O&R obtained 330 line technicians, which increased its line technician workforce by approximately three-fold over its normal staffing.
Outage numbers
For the most up-to-date outage information, please go to O&R's Outage Map. Here are the customer outage numbers as of 10 a.m. on Dec. 26:
NEW YORK - 1,981
Rockland - 1,452
Orange - 441
Sullivan - 82
NEW JERSEY - 561
Bergen - 385
Passaic - 176
Sussex - 0
How restoration works
O&R follows an established restoration process to help restore power safely. Today, O&R proceeded on a number of important fronts to continue assessing damage, addressing public safety issues, clearing critical roads and restoring locations that provide critical services such as hospitals, nursing homes and police and fire stations. The next step is to move on to restore power to the lines and equipment that will bring power back to the most people in the fewest hours possible. After that, as soon as we can, we restore all other customers who have lost power.
Don't go near any downed wire. Assume it is energized and dangerous. Call O&R immediately toll-free at 1-877-434-4100. Depending on the situation, you may also want to call your local police to divert traffic until an O&R crew arrives.
Pole-top transformers --- those small grey-colored metal drums attached to the wires at the tops of most utility poles --- also should be avoided when they have been knocked to the ground.
Portable generators pose a serious hazard if used improperly. They should be used and installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. A wrong connection could feed electricity back through the lines and endanger our repair crews. Never plug a generator into a wall unit, use it indoors or set it up outdoors near open home windows or air-handling vents.
Have emergency equipment within reach --- portable radio, flashlights, spare batteries, first aid kit, cell phone and important medications. Keep O&R's toll-free number 1-877-434-4100 near the phone to report power outages.
Remember: if the base station of your cordless phone plugs into the wall, your phone will be unusable during a power outage.

Huntsman buys spray polyurethane foam specialist Demilec
Sarah Houlton
Urethanes Technology International
THE WOODLANDS, Texas—Huntsman Corp. will buy spray polyurethane foam insulation specialist Demilec Inc. from private equity's Sun Capital Partners in a $350 million, all-cash deal that is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2018.
In the latest financial year, Demilec had annual sales of about $170 million.
Its two manufacturing facilities, located in Arlington, Texas, and Boisbriand, Quebec, produce a full suite of MDI-based SPF formulations. These are sold via distributors, and marketed directly to applicators.
It makes both closed-cell and open-cell SPF formulations. The company focuses on eco-friendly products with renewable and recyclable content, Huntsman said.
"Demilec has pioneered MDI SPF insulation and coating technologies for more than 30 years, building a strong market reputation," said Tony Hankins, president of Huntsman's polyurethanes division.
"Demilec and the entire SPF industry has delivered strong double-digit growth, which we expect to be sustained."
At the end of February, while reviewing MDI prices, Huntsman CEO Peter Huntsman told investors that his firm was interested in acquisitions that will improve margins, with consistent earnings that grow faster than GDP.


Islamabad: On Tuesday cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan claimed India was trying to "implode" Pakistan and sabotage moves against corruption.
The 64-year-old Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman also accused Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of being a "security risk" to the country.
"A new doctrine has originated in India which aims to implode Pakistan because they have failed to defeat us militarily," Imran told reporters outside his residence before leaving for Quetta, where Islamic State militants attacked a police training centre.
"...to make Pakistan descend into chaos without any reforms," he said, adding that India did not want an inside political reform movement to succeed.
"Whenever we plan to launch a reform movement against corruption in the country such terror attacks happen," he added.
Noting that corruption and militancy funding in Pakistan "run side by side", Imran also called Sharif a "security risk" for the country as the prime minister was only interested in saving himself from the accountability in the wake of the Panama Papers leaks.
"His only aim is to save himself from the repercussions of the revelations regarding his corruption in Panama leaks," he said and demanded the government to highlight the names of those officials who were involved in leaking the crucial information regarding a high-level security meeting here.
He went on to add that "when Balochistan Chief Minister is saying that India was involved in sabotaging law and order in the province then why does our prime minister not raise his voice on the issue on global forums".


It takes a lot of effort to maintain brand identity. It's much more than just a logo and a color scheme. Creating a "brand" is about creating a cohesive look and "feel" for your company, across every possible platform. From print to web, it's important to keep your brand consistent.
For the most part, businesses who seek the services of a designer maintain a solid presence via a professionally designed logo, branding (to include color scheme, fonts, etc), and website which incorporates all the above. These companies frequently get some merch done with the logo, maybe a new sign, and business cards. However, one area many of them seem neglect when it comes to brand cohesiveness is social media. We frequently see businesses utilize a profile logo image or cover photo that doesn't fit the dimensions or is blurry because they didn't size the image the right way. While it may seem like no big deal (it's just Facebook after all…), for many people, this is their first impression of your business. It's true, your website should remain your biggest priority in digital marketing but if you are going to have a social media presence, don't allow it to degrade your brand. It should add value to your digital marketing presence. And it's easy to do. Here's how.
First, start with appropriately sized images. Each social media platform is different, so plopping the same profile picture across all your pages may not result in the best quality image. Since standard sizes change frequently, it is good to google the images sizes when adding or changing an image.
For cover photos, keep in mind that they render differently on different screens. Try to keep the content you want the customers to see in the middle of the image, so when somebody is browsing your page on mobile it's not cut off by mobile settings. This image should be branded to the rest of your digital presence and should maintain the look of all your marketing. Many businesses throw a random picture from a camera phone up as their cover photo but that typically doesn't look good.
Now that you have your profile picture and cover photo set and looking freakin' sweet, you might think that you're done dealing with branding your social media pages, right? Nope, we're just getting started. You are now going to be continually posting on social media to all your current and potential customers and followers. This is yet another free opportunity to show off your top notch brand. Your logo, and brand identity, should be present on every single thing you create online. Studies done on social media engagement show that pages that use images in their posts get 40-60% more notice on all social media sites than posts without them. Therefore it is almost pointless to not include some type of imaging along with your posts. A good way to maintain your brand identity is to create template images that are branded to fit your overall cohesive digital marketing portfolio. Don't forget to make sure that your templated images are appropriately sized for each social media platform. Like cover photos and profile images, posts made to Facebook will render completely different in your Twitter stream. So it is worth taking the time to cater each post to each platform so that your audience sees the post as you intend them to see it.
While social media will never be as important as your website when it comes to showing off your brand to consumers, it has become more and more of a necessity. Taking these extra steps might take a bit more time and effort than you think it should but the studies all show it pays dividends. So make sure people pay attention to your brand and don't just swipe/scroll right past you. Be seen.
If making custom cover photos and branding templates for your social media pages seems like too much of a lift for you or you just don't do "graphics", keep in mind that this is a service that we can provide. We will work with you to create a fully branded social media kit, along with templates for posting and even properly sized advertisements. A social media kit can be catered to just one or to many platforms and can be designed for special promotions or for regular, day-to-day use. It's your brand, and it's up to you. Get in touch with us today to find out more about making your social media page stand out.

Stroke and road accidents among the leading causes of disability in Haiti, Haitian Rehabilitation Foundation Founder says
Dr. Ivens Louius, the director and founder of the Haitian Rehabilitation Foundation (FONHARE), said Tuesday that nine years after the 2010 earthquake, there still continues to be a lack of resources to address the loss of functionality as the demand for rehabilitation increases.
According to Louius, 2,193 patients used the services of FONHARE for the first four months of 2019. "57% of our consultations are stroke patients. It's alarming. At the orthopedic level and trauma, it's 20%. In April, we had 654 patients, including 374 with stroke," he said. Continue reading

I join with you in celebration of Deepavali, the Festival of Lights, which celebrates the triumph of good over evil.
As Hindus in Singapore and around the world celebrate this joyous festival with family and friends on 26 October, the Catholic community joins with you in prayer for a continued strengthening of bonds and illumination of minds in our communities, as we work together for the common good.
We deeply value the work we have done in conjunction with representatives from the Hindu community, as well as other religions in the Presidential Council for Religious Harmony.
The focus on shared convictions enables the promotion of peace and harmony among all peoples and a mutual respect for the religious practices of all individuals and communities.
My dear friends, on behalf of the Archdiocese of Singapore, I pray that your celebration of Deepavali will be a source of joy and happiness for you and your families and enable a strengthening of bonds within your community.


'Xanthocarpum' is quite attractive with its yellowish gold fruits; a nice compliment to the red-fruited type. This cultivar is worth considering, will grow 8 to 10 feet high. The foliage is glossy dark green, sometimes turns yellow-red to purple in fall, though not consistently. The white flowers bloom in late spring, on flat topped cymes, with sterile showy flowers combined with inconspicuous fertile flowers. A red berry-like drupe ripens in the fall, quite ornamental, gradually shriveling over the winter. Easy to grow, adaptable to different soil types, occasionally bothered by aphids and borers. Good multipurpose shrub.

Why They Call Reid 'Senator $waps'
Editor's note: Perhaps never before in history has a nation set out to methodically turn its own fertile cropland into desert. Yet Nevada's senior U.S. senator, Harry Reid, is pursuing that as his own personal legacy to Fallon, Nevada. As EN reported last week, Reid even ordered the Navy to do that with lands it formerly leased to farmers -- almost as if the farmers were a national enemy.
by Tim Findley
The Magpie
Reid got help removing the air-base lands from cultivation by legal advice from the federal lawyer then representing the Fallon Naval Air Base. A meticulous, single-minded career bureaucrat nearing middle age, his name was "Fred Disheroon."
To this day, people in the Lahontan Valley who have encountered him wonder why Disheroon, now a U. S. Justice Department Solicitor assigned specifically to the Newlands issue, seems to take the matter of water right and land acquisition in the valley so personally, almost as if he has a grudge against the Nevada farmers.
The whole answer may not be there, but it seems to begin with Disheroon trying to carry out the directions of Reid and, indirectly, the advice given to Reid by Tribal Attorney Robert Pelcyger.
Disheroon, however, wasn't the only federal bureaucrat on whom the Nevada Senator imposed his demands to remove farmers from the Newlands Project.
Whatever promises were made to the Pyramid Lake Tribe, however much it depended on a deal with Sierra Pacific Power Company and the Reno developers, Reid's basic political obligations were still in Las Vegas.
It was a Reno Republican, Congresswoman Barbara Vucanovich, who carried Reid's barely-passed bill to President George Bush at virtually the last minute of the 101st Congress.
"Think about it," said a Fallon politician. "What choice did she have? Could she have risked her own
re-election by bucking Reid on a complicated issue of principle?"
It was, after all, called a "Negotiated Settlement," even though the terms presented to Fallon farmers read more like a surrender document.
Reid's friends in Las Vegas and those active in the rising fortunes of a Democrat bid to retake the White House certainly noticed his success.
Among them was the former Governor of Arizona, the Honorable Bruce Babbitt, who was marking time in 1991 as a consultant to the Del Webb Corporation, once the major player in Nevada gaming, and now concentrating its resources in "retirement communities" such as Phoenix's Sun City and an even larger project the company had in mind for booming Las Vegas.
According to documents obtained from the Bureau of Land Management, it was Babbitt, as the consultant for Del Webb, who made the earliest contacts with the BLM in November of 1992, seeking a deal on federal lands bordering the widening sprawl of Glitter Gulch.
Babbitt would soon be absorbed into the Clinton administration as Secretary
of the Interior, but Del Webb continued its efforts to secure the federal land around Las Vegas, using all the political help it could muster.
The BLM chronology of contacts notes that in October of 1994, BLM regional chief Gary Ryan "met with Senator Reid, Virginia Turner and Don Moon (both of Del Webb).
"...The Senator was very clear that Del Webb was to be a priority 'to be put on the top of the pile and not have to go to the end of the line,' Ryan reported. "He also encouraged me personally to take an interest and assist Del Webb in any way possible within the regulations..."
Del Webb wanted federal land near Sky Harbor Airport in Las Vegas in exchange for "environmentally sensitive" lands elsewhere. But at that point, contrary to the usual procedures, Del Webb had no lands to offer in exchange.
Significantly, at the time Reid made his visit to BLM in behalf of Del Webb, the Senator was also, in northern Nevada, pursuing implementation of his settlement act. Talks among the major parties with an interest in the water issues had not been going well, even though Reid was "generously" allowing new (but ultimately futile) mediation. Yet, among the federal agencies
charged with implementing Reid's 1990 'settlement' legislation, more help for Del Webb was available.
Since at least 1990, court documents revealed last year, there has been in place a quiet agreement between U.S. Fish and Wildlife and The Nature Conservancy, authorizing TNC to act as an ex-officio agent of the government in securing land and water rights from "willing sellers" in the Newlands Project.
Thus a TNC operative, Graham Chisholm -- who coincidentally entered the Lahontan Valley in 1990 -- was able to function as a de facto agent of Del Webb Corporation, locating farm land that Del Webb could buy and exchange for the federal property it wanted on the outskirts of Las Vegas.
Chisholm presented himself to the Fallon community as a well-meaning environmentalist and community organizer, and he tried to explain it as merely a fortuitous circumstance that Del Webb was willing to invest in "restoration of the wetlands." But Chisholm never explained who directed him to Del Webb or what the actual agreement was between the richly-endowed non-profit TNC and the former gaming giant turned developer.
The deals Chisholm set up for Del Webb before his own unexplained
departure from the Conservancy are still snarled in protest over dollar-for-dollar value of the land Del Webb wants to swap for Las Vegas property. But the land in Churchill County has been de-watered and taken out of production. It's another piece of the implementation of Public Law 101-618.
When he ran for re-election in 1992, Senator Harry Reid received some $20,000 in total campaign donations from Del Webb. In 1995, three years before his next election, he reported receiving over $50,000 in campaign contributions traceable directly or indirectly to the Las Vegas developer.
In Reno and elsewhere, the major media continued to tout all the dealing as part of the continued success of Reid in bringing about an end to the long water "wars." The Senator persistently made sympathetic public statements about meaning to "take care" of the farmers whose rural lifestyle he personally understood.
But the truth was that as the seven-year period for implementation of his Act neared its 1997 deadline, more pressure was needed to overwhelm farmer resistance to "willingly" selling their rights.
Reid padded the offer with $12 million in federal subsidies and another $12 million in indirect federal
aid to help Sierra Pacific secure a "water quality" agreement that amounted to nothing more than a "water quantity" deal providing funds to purchase downstream water rights from farmers along the Truckee Canal.
Shirley Walker of Fallon's Churchill Economic Development Authority (CEDA) happened to be in the Senator's office with a group of other county planners from around the nation when Reid blurted out that he was certain the Truckee Canal would be closed and filled in by the turn of the century. The canal routes water from the Truckee to the Newlands project.
Reid, of course, later denied having said it, but it was directly in line with the plans of Tribal Attorney Pelcyger and Justice Department Lawyer Fred Disheroon, who by then was becoming increasingly frustrated with the slow progress of forcing farmers to sell.
In 1995, Disheroon produced an article for the American Bar Association in which he expressed that frustration with the progress on the Newlands Project and suggested "alternative approaches." Those would involve, he wrote, "more stringent enforcement of all limiting provisions of western water law ... it also includes measures to reduce the amount of water used to
transport water to the end user or to limit the amount used versus the amount needed to achieve the decreed purpose."
"Regulating out" the farmers was no new idea. It was, in fact, the concept ultimately behind the Bureau of Reclamation's demand for a new contract with TCID that would leave the farmers even more helpless in defending themselves against federal restrictions.
Whether Ann Ball completely agreed with that or not was never quite clear, but Ball, as the new BOR Newlands boss, was given the job of making the irrigation district come to the feds' terms.
At least twice in a two-year process of talks, she thought she was near that point. Both times the agreement was rejected by Disheroon and others in Washington, D.C. Ball herself was called back to the capitol and hailed into the office of Reid himself, where sources said the Senator gave the BOR manager a tongue lashing for not bringing the farmers into line.
Searchlight's best-known success, the most powerful politician in Nevada, one of the 50 riches members of Congress, was showing increasing irritation at the resistance of small farmers he didn't need and didn't like.
Even the weather worked against him, as the long drought broke into three successively more productive wet winters, allowing farmers not only to
recover their losses but begin to show a profit, especially from "free" water spread as flood prevention onto previously dry fields.
Ann Ball, ultimately responsible for allowing the spreading in 1997, was given a $5,000 federal bonus on one day for her success at finally winning the new contract with TCID, and the next day told she would have two months to find another job.
Once again, Reid denies it, but informed sources say the Senator, harangued with protest from the tribal attorney, threatened to hold up Interior Department appropriations unless Ball was removed.
In a double irony, the vindictive act against Ball was made meaningless by the ruling of a federal judge in Las Vegas, who permitted the water-spreading to continue.
Harry Reid is by no means finished with Newlands. He will be there at his proudest post, near the ear of the President himself, next month when Clinton visits Tahoe to discuss water "clarity."
The Senator is likely to remind the President that, like Clinton himself, he is just a former poor kid from the dusty mean streets of a little town nobody ever heard of.


Before we discuss on how to stop snoring while sleeping naturally it right for us to first of all know the Cause of Snoring. If you are a long-time sufferer of snoring, you've most likely attempted various options to stop snoring without much success. Snoring is triggered by the circulation of air hurrying across kicked back muscular tissues in the mouth and also throat throughout rest. When your muscular tissues loosen up, they fall down back into the throat which narrows and also obstructs the respiratory tract. As air aims to pass through this obstructed respiratory tract, it triggers an audible vibration or just what numerous describe as snoring!
When looking for a natural remedy to stop snoring, it is necessary to take a look at the crucial reasons for snoring. Sinus infections, nasal blockage, being obese, and alcohol intake are all elements that could develop or worsen snoring. Some of these contributors could be avoided by doing points like losing weight and also lowering the usage of alcohol as well as sedatives. Sleeping on your side or maintaining an on a regular basis arranged resting pattern are a few other natural ways to quit snoring.
USE THE POWER OF YOUR PERSONAL BREATHING: EPAP especially targets this cause of snoring. This natural method to quit snoring has been FDA-cleared as well as is medically confirmed to minimize snoring by 76%. Theravent's non-invasive nasal strip uses the power of your very own breathing through EPAP innovation to normally quit snoring!
REDUCE YOUR WEIGHT - LOOSE WEIGHT: Weight-loss could aid people reduce snoring naturally, specifically when snoring was not a problem prior to weight gain. Excess fat on the body, particularly around the neck, can place unnecessary pressure on the respiratory tract or even create it to partly collapse. This partial respiratory tract limitation leads to snoring. While fat burning may be valuable for some victims, weight-loss is not a sure-fire option, as slimmer individuals could snore also!
AVOID ALCOHOL AND SEDATIVES: A glass of merlot as well as bottleThe usage of liquor, depressants or sleeping pills can lead to the depression of your central nervous system, which loosens up the muscular tissues of your throat and jaw. Unwinded muscular tissues in this location can cause the tongue to unwind also and also block the throat air passage. If you consume these compounds frequently, they may be responsible for your snoring habit.
VISIT A SPECIALIST OR MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL FOR ADVICE: A specialist could assist you determine if your snoring is caused partly by an allergen. Some common irritants such as dust, dust mites and also animal dander might all add to nighttime snoring. Replacing cushions every 6 months, cleaning ceiling followers as well as other room surface areas often and maintaining pet dogs outside the bedroom are all actions that could be taken as natural methods to stop snoring.
STOP SMOKING CIGARETTES: Research has proven smoking is a significant contributor to snoring. It is believed snoring as a result of smoking cigarettes is brought on by top respiratory tract inflammation and also inflammation. Even more worrying, prolonged smoking cigarettes can lead to long-term damage to the respiratory system. Stopped smoking today!
MAINTAIN A ROUTINE: When we end up being overtired we experience a much deeper sleep that could impact our throat respiratory tract in methods comparable to drinking alcohol or taking a sedative. Lots of high quality rest is simply one of numerous natural methods to quit snoring.
WORKOUT: Modest workout a couple of times a week is helpful for a wide range of factors, including its capacity to help you quit snoring normally. On top of that, exercise can be valuable in preserving a consistent sleep routine in addition to assisting with weight-loss; both suggested routines that are natural ways to stop snoring.
REMOVE NASAL BLOCKAGE: A stuffed-up nose makes breathing tough, specifically in the evening. Lying down could produce a vacuum in your throat, which consequently brings about snoring. You could clear nasal flows by utilizing a Neti pot, a non-prescription saline spray or a humidifier. Nasal decongestants are an additional alternative as they improve inhalation and allow you to take a breath even more conveniently both throughout the day and while resting.


1: Fear the cloud: Okay, that verbiage may be overkill, but the VARs said they spend a lot of time educating customers about when and if public cloud computing will really meet their needs. Vendor hype aside, board members said public cloud scenarios run counter to HIPAA and other compliance regulations.
The rule of thumb seems to be: Unless you, the customer, control the data–encrypted across the wire and in storage–and you control physical access to the servers and storage, you will not be in compliance.
Make no mistake: They are all for co-location and other plans to defray costs, but when it comes to regulation, shared infrastructure remains a no-no.
It's difficult to tell how serious Google is in its myriad projects. "I see them putting up all sorts of windmills, and Microsoft is out there tilting at them all," McDonald said. In that, Google is doing to Microsoft what Microsoft used to do to every other software maker: Distract competitors with promised but distant releases of software that will do everything better, faster, cheaper. Vars said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is as obsessed with Google as CEOs from Borland, Novell, WordPerfect, Netscape used to be with Microsoft. This does not bode well for the Big M.
3: Watch Cisco like a hawk: The consensus is that the network hardware kingpin is the company to watch when it comes to future acquisitions and forays into new businesses. It is viewed as a competitive threat by many VARs. "I'm a lot more concerned about what John Chambers is up to than with whatever the Microsoft CEO is doing," said one board member.
Several panelists said there is probably truth in the oft-revived rumor about Cisco buying EMC.
4: Keep your eye on M&A: But, Cisco isn't the only potential suitor for EMC. Other VARs said Microsoft or HP could also do that deal even though Microsoft isn't much in the way of a hardware company and HP has already bought LeftHand Networks and licenses a lot of other storage.
One panelist said Chinese telcom giant Huawei, which tried and failed to buy 3Com, might also be a suitor for Brocade.
There is often an inverse relationship between the size of a customer and that customer's need for IT help. In other words, don't mistake a small shop with small technology needs. Companies with under 25 people often require the most handholding.
The customer who buys a $1,600 system usually takes up many times the service calls as a larger customer, said Jill Steinberg, president of Value Computing, Inc.
Bonus lesson: Watch Snoracle: Participants seem to think Oracle will take care of the hardware supply chain it is purchasing along with Sun Microsystems. Many think the merger, when final, may force some of the other deals already mentioned in # 3 and 4. HP and EMC could be a formidable counterweight to Sun-Oracle, said one board member.

PARALLEL COMMITMENT BY ISRAELIS, PALESTINIANS ESSENTIAL FOR ADVANCING
PEACE, SECRETARY-GENERAL TELLS INTERNATIONAL MEETING IN ROME
Following is the text of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's message to the United Nations International Meeting in Support of Israeli-Palestinian Peace, taking place at the Food and Agriculture Organization headquarters in Rome, 22-23 March, as delivered today by Sergei Ordzhonikidze, Director-General, United Nations Office at Geneva:
I extend greetings to all participants in this United Nations International Meeting in Support of Israeli-Palestinian Peace, organized under the auspices of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People.
You meet at a critical moment for the future of efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East. Important developments are taking place among Palestinians, between Palestinians and Israelis, in the region and internationally. Taken together, these hold the potential, if not yet the promise, to overcome a period of violence and despair and replace it with a future of dialogue and hope.
The agreement reached in Mecca has brought relative calm to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and the formation of a Palestinian National Unity Government last weekend is a very significant step forward. I hope this will also lay the groundwork for a Government that will respect existing agreements with Israel and reflect Quartet principles. The international community will naturally be following closely the actions of this new Government, and we hope that the expectations that the Palestinian people and the international community have of it will be fulfilled.
It is also important and encouraging that President Abbas and Prime Minister Olmert have continued their dialogue, both in a bilateral setting and in a trilateral one, along with Secretary Rice, on ways to ensure that existing commitments are met and a political horizon can be made clear. Equally vital are the efforts of regional countries, based on the Arab Peace Initiative, to stretch out the hand of peace.
Serious obstacles remain, threatening to block progress. The humanitarian situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory continues to worsen. Israeli military operations, continuing settlement activity and severe movement restrictions erode prospects for socio-economic recovery. The expansion of settlements and construction of the barrier in the West Bank intensify feelings of mistrust, anger and despair, pushing the chances of peace farther away.
At the same time, continued rocket attacks at Israel and indiscriminate violence against civilians are totally unjustified, and only reinforce a sense of insecurity among Israelis. For its part, Israel must ensure that it exercises its right to defend itself in accordance with international humanitarian and human rights law, so as not to endanger civilians.
It is clear that a parallel commitment by the parties is essential for advancing on key issues. A majority of Israelis and Palestinians support a negotiated settlement whereby two independent States, Israel and Palestine, would live side by side in peace and security. It is vital that their leaders take concrete actions which show their commitment to achieving that goal, by word and deed. The United Nations, for its part, will remain fully engaged in efforts to achieve a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement, based on Security Council resolutions 242, 338, 1397 and 1515, the Arab Peace Initiative and the principle of land for peace. I am hopeful that your Meeting will make its own contribution and I wish you all the best in your deliberations.

Kate Bunney | Core Team
Kate was born and raised in the UK. Surrounded by water on all sides, she learnt to swim and sail as soon as she could. From an early age she witnessed many disparities in our human world – and began searching for the places where change was happening, for the better. She has worked in safe houses for women and children experiencing domestic violence, adults with learning difficulties, schools, a child abuse study unit, with young offenders, young girls working on the streets and as a consultant for the UK police force, National Unions and NGO's.
She has a degree with honors in Psychology and a Masters in Women's Studies with focus on epistemology leading her to carry the question of what do we do with what we know.
For 15 years, Kate lived in one of the most progressive communities in the world and held a focus on educational programs and consultancy for communities in conflict areas, fundraising, global networking, organizing and public relations. One of her main roles was organizing and walking Pilgrimage, through Israel and Palestine, Colombia and Europe, as a way of empowering social action and re-discovering our potential as agents of change.
In 2012 Kate founded Walking Water – a pilgrimage with the waters – as a way to inspire us to be in community, be in relation with the waters and the places we live and ultimately to experience the huge potential we all have to create change. Walking Water already has a strong global following and is seen as a model in social action.
Kate is a member of the Beyond Boundaries team, a Council carrier and community consultant and has recently joined the Weaving Earth team in California.

Gigi Coyle | Co-founder
Gigi Coyle, co-founder of Walking-Water, lives in Payahuunadu (the Owens Valley in California) and has been focused on the connection to and teachings of water – the care of and the protection of water – throughout her life. She began this relationship spending much time as a child alongside a lively brook, paddling her first river at age 9 and most noticeably at age 12 entering a series of three-day silent retreats at her convent school surrounded on three sides by the sea.
In her early twenties, with an MA in International Relations, Gigi worked as a community organizer and research consultant focused on the use of appropriate technologies, specifically writing grants and channeling government aid and resources to women overseas. She has travelled and worked in 37 countries extensively, spending time alone in nature and in diverse communities and cultures, seeking pathways to regenerative living, integral healing, local and global partnerships. In 45 of her 69 years, she has served in various roles from volunteer to director, educator to student, consultant to facilitator, working to build bridges "between the worlds."
She has organized and co-led journeys to the rainforest, the oceans, and the desert, journeys dedicated to witnessing and learning from the great suffering and abundant grace found on this planet. She is a leader of Beyond Boundaries, an inter-generational pilgrimage of service and a response team for our times. She continues today as a rite of passage guide for organizations and individuals as well as a council trainer, community activist, and mentor.
(This is an honored position within the Walking Water structure. The Guardians are the ones who remind us of the spirit of water, its power and life-giving force … often times by embodying that – moving and being with a way that suggests the third. Our Guardians also have a wealth of knowledge and practice, they hold a respect in the wider community for their integrity and commitment to that which is greater. They are there to hold, to prod, to shake up, to advise …..)

Krystyna Jurzykowski is a co-founder of Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, a wildlife preserve for endangered species; Eco-Naturaleza, a trio of coastal rainforest cacao micro-enterprise projects in Panama and High Hope Ranch, a working ranch for retreat, connection and learning. As a child of immigrants in exile, Krystyna understands the destiny gene of wandering with wonder, belonging in service and community. She grew up in a combo of vast wilderness and cement jungles in 3 different continents. Ultimately, the wisdom of nature, became home, her sanctuary of Guidance. Today, she participates and works with individual and organizational partners who seek to deepen their relations with nature, the nature of our collective "story," the nature of mutually reciprocal living systems and the philanthropy of spirit. Otherwise, she might be found guiding in the wilderness, in circles of council, on solo pilgrimage walks, delving into new forms of social finance, communing with a rhino, or in relation with land, kindreds and the invisible ones.
(Our carriers are those that have pilgrimage 'in the blood' and understand the importance of social activism, circle/council practice as ways to restore our relations to water. Each carrier is already responsible for their own projects and communities in various parts of the world and come together through and with Walking Water on walks, mutual networks, fundraising and public relations. Our carriers are ambassadors for the common solidarity within the global community.)

Kathy Bancroft | Advisor
I was born and raised in Lone Pine, California and I am of Mono, Shoshone and Paiute descent. My family owned Mt. Whitney Pack Trains, so my summers were spent in the high country of the Sierra Nevada. I attended school in Lone Pine and then Rowland Hall-St. Mark's School in Salt Lake City, Utah for my high school years where I learned a lot about the world outside of the Owens Valley, skiing and community service. I then attended Stanford University where I learned about the value of a good library and the destructiveness of overzealous competitiveness.
A few years later, I had two sons and raised them as a single mother. As my sons grew older, they began to think about going to college and told me, "When we go to college, you can go back to school with us." I started thinking about this and realized that if I was going to go back to school with my sons… I had to at least be further along in school than them! I enrolled at Cerro Coso Community College, and genuinely enjoyed the classes. I continued my education at Ft. Lewis College in Durango, Colorado and then attended graduate school at Montana State University and received my MS in Organic Chemistry. I was then enrolled in the new Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience for my PhD and then became a part of the Integrated Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) program involving modeling complex biological systems. I put my formal education on hold because of family illness, came home. I now involve myself in anything for the betterment of my Tribe, but my priorities concern the youth and preservation of cultural resources. I serve as both the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO) and the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) Representative, among other duties.
(Our advisors are those that hold specific knowledge to water issues. That knowledge can and would be local to the area/region WW is planning to walk as well as those with a global perspective. The task is to support Walking Water to be informed and current on water issues, community practices and thinking.)

Benjamin von Mendelssohn | Carrier
Benjamin was born 1973 into a once-wealthy, culturally significant Jewish banking family in Germany. In the Third Reich the family survived between the lines as it was "too Jewish" to be ignored by the Nazis and "too influential" to be just taken to concentration camp. After the Berlin Wall fell the family got restituted a fortune. Therefore the issues of reconciliation, politics and money accompanied Benjamin from his early years.
After a radical but frustrating period of political engagement in his youth, Benjamin started to explore holistic approaches to bringing about change. To this end he co-founded the Peace University at Potsdam in 1990 with 16 Nobel Peace Prize Laureates on board. The goal was an interdisciplinary, intercultural and inter-religious dialogue for the betterment of the world. Not fully satisfied with the efficiency of this high-ranking endeavor he later researched into even more holistic approaches to peace, many social experiments and intentional communities. Although he trained as a healer, dancer and choreographer Benjamin retained a focus on new
models for living and a passion for complex synergies and systems theory. Creating syntheses of seemingly opposing forces is important to him – politics and spirituality; vision work and concrete manifestation; Eros and religion; free sexuality and deep, committed partnership; nature and technology and most critically inner and outer peace work.
Benjamin has been living and researching in Tamera since 1998 where he now serves as a next-generation leader. Through leading Political Pilgrimages in crises areas like the Middle East and Colombia he tried to bridge the gap between different movements: political and spiritual, local and international, grassroots and top-down. He has been co-leading the Global Love School since its inauguration in 2012. Now he is traveling as an international speaker, workshop facilitator and consultant to holistic models. Currently he directs the Grace Foundation for Humanizing Money to make it the vessel for the resources needed to realize a global peace plan – the Healing Biotopes Plan of viable cultural models. He is passionate about creating and strengthening a planetary community as a solid alliance to back this plan and see it through.

Rajendra Singh is a well-known water conservationist, also known as "waterman of India". He won the Stockholm Water Prize, an award known as "the Nobel Prize for water", in 2015. He has been doing pioneering work in community-based efforts in water harvesting and water management for decades. He runs the NGO Tarun Bharat Sangh, which was founded in 1975, an instrumental organization in fighting the slow bureaucracy, the mining lobby, and also in helping villagers take charge of water management in the areas close to Thar Desert, through the use of johad, rainwater storage tanks, check dams and other time-tested as well as path-breaking techniques. Starting from a single village in 1985, over the years TBS helped build over 8,600 johads and other water conservation structures to collect rainwater for the dry seasons, has brought water back to over 1,000 villages and revived five rivers in Rajasthan. He is one of the members of the National Ganga River Basin Authority, which was set up in 2009 by the Government of India as an empowered planning, financing, monitoring and coordinating authority for the Ganges.

For the past 20 years, Andy has spearheaded an approach to using integrated watershed management to apply a forest's natural infrastructure services to cities. The result: a sustainable water supply, as well as flood and pollution prevention. Andy's advocacy has resulted in numerous demonstrations and progress in the adoption of this new paradigm, including the long-term retrofit of L.A.'s Sun Valley area (pop. 80,000).
