Nutrition education, including communication and counseling to raise awareness and promote nutrition-related knowledge and behaviors aligned with public health goals, was found to increase women's knowledge and improve women's dietary diversity and protein intake (15–21). It also reduced energy intake of overweight women over a 9-mo period (22). However, evidence for the effectiveness of nutrition education interventions showed mixed impact on biological and anthropometric markers of women's nutritional status (14–16, 18, 23–29). This could be due to lack of statistical power given the small sample sizes of the reviewed studies. For adolescent girls, nutrition education was found to reduce odds of overweight, and improve knowledge, dietary intake, physical activity, and sedentary behavior (27, 29, 30). This was particularly true for nutrition education that lasted longer than 12 mo (29). Nutrition education was also more strongly associated with changes in health outcomes in studies evaluating childhood obesity treatment, rather than childhood obesity prevention (29).
Women's experience of health and disease differ from those of men, due to unique biological, social and behavioural conditions. Biological differences vary all the way from phenotype to the cellular, and manifest unique risks for the development of ill health.[1] The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".[2] Women's health is an example of population health, the health of a specific defined population.[3]
"Whole grains help with digestion and are excellent for your heart, regularity [because of the fiber content], and maintaining a steady level of blood sugar," says Hincman. "They are also a great source of energy to power you throughout the day." Whole grains, such as oats, also help improve cholesterol levels. While food manufacturers are adding fiber to all sorts of products, whole grains, like whole wheat, rye, and bran, need to be the first ingredient on the food label of packaged foods, she stresses. Watch your serving sizes, however. Current guidelines are for six one-ounce equivalent servings per day (five if you're over 50). One ounce of whole-wheat pasta (weighed before cooking) is only one-half cup cooked.

Studies link high sodium intake to higher blood pressure, and evidence suggests that many people at risk for high blood pressure can reduce their risk by consuming less salt or sodium, as well as following a healthy diet. Most Americans consume more sodium than they need. The recommended amount is less than 2,300 mg per day for children and adults to age 50. The limit drops to 1,500 mg per day for those 51 and older or those of any age who are African American or have hypertension, diabetes or chronic kidney disease. You get 2,300 mg in just one teaspoon of salt. One good way to reduce your sodium intake is to eat fewer prepared and packaged foods.
Women and men have approximately equal risk of dying from cancer, which accounts for about a quarter of all deaths, and is the second leading cause of death. However the relative incidence of different cancers varies between women and men. In the United States the three commonest types of cancer of women in 2012 were lung, breast and colorectal cancers. In addition other important cancers in women, in order of importance, are ovarian, uterine (including endometrial and cervical cancers (Gronowski and Schindler, Table III).[6][120] Similar figures were reported in 2016.[121] While cancer death rates rose rapidly during the twentieth century, the increase was less and later in women due to differences in smoking rates. More recently cancer death rates have started to decline as the use of tobacco becomes less common. Between 1991 and 2012, the death rate in women declined by 19% (less than in men). In the early twentieth century death from uterine (uterine body and cervix) cancers was the leading cause of cancer death in women, who had a higher cancer mortality than men. From the 1930s onwards, uterine cancer deaths declined, primarily due to lower death rates from cervical cancer following the availability of the Papanicolaou (Pap) screening test. This resulted in an overall reduction of cancer deaths in women between the 1940s and 1970s, when rising rates of lung cancer led to an overall increase. By the 1950s the decline in uterine cancer left breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer death till it was overtaken by lung cancer in the 1980s. All three cancers (lung, breast, uterus) are now declining in cancer death rates (Siegel et al. Figure 8),[121] but more women die from lung cancer every year than from breast, ovarian, and uterine cancers combined. Overall about 20% of people found to have lung cancer are never smokers, yet amongst nonsmoking women the risk of developing lung cancer is three times greater than amongst men who never smoked.[119]
I subscribed to this in MY early 20's way back in the magazines infancy. Back when the cover photo's were black and white and most of the cover "models" were female athletes. It's changed since then, catering a little more to the "Cosmo" crowd. Which is fine, just not for me. It just doesn't feel like it applies as much to someone in their thirties married with kids as someone in their twenties who apparently has the money and lack of self-control to spend $90 on a designer t-shirt (really).
Women who seek out a women's only club are usually looking for something different. They want the privacy of an all-women environment. They also want the attention they get from women who understand the unique fitness needs of other women and are especially patient and understanding with those who haven't had much experience with fitness in their lives.
Violence against women may take many forms, including physical, sexual, emotional and psychological and may occur throughout the life-course. Structural violence may be embedded in legislation or policy, or be systematic misogyny by organisations against groups of women. Perpetrators of personal violence include state actors, strangers, acquaintances, relatives and intimate partners and manifests itself across a spectrum from discrimination, through harassment, sexual assault and rape, and physical harm to murder (femicide). It may also include cultural practices such as female genital cutting.[135][136]
Not getting enough fiber can lead to constipation and can raise your risk for other health problems. Part of healthy eating is choosing fiber-rich foods, including beans, berries, and dark green leafy vegetables, every day. Fiber helps lower your risk for diseases that affect many women, such as heart disease, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, and colon cancer. Fiber also helps you feel full, so it can help you reach and maintain a healthy weight.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death (30%) amongst women in the United States, and the leading cause of chronic disease amongst them, affecting nearly 40% (Gronowski and Schindler, Tables I and IV).[6][7][119] The onset occurs at a later age in women than in men. For instance the incidence of stroke in women under the age of 80 is less than that in men, but higher in those aged over 80. Overall the lifetime risk of stroke in women exceeds that in men.[27][28] The risk of cardiovascular disease amongst those with diabetes and amongst smokers is also higher in women than in men.[6] Many aspects of cardiovascular disease vary between women and men, including risk factors, prevalence, physiology, symptoms, response to intervention and outcome.[119]
When women reach childbearing age, they need to eat enough folate (or folic acid) to help decrease the risk of birth defects. The requirement for women who are not pregnant is 400 micrograms (mcg) per day. Including adequate amounts of foods that naturally contain folate, such as citrus fruits, leafy greens, beans and peas will help increase your intake of this B vitamin. There also are many foods that are fortified with folic acid, such as breakfast cereals, some rices and breads. Eating a variety of foods is recommended to help meet nutrient needs, but a dietary supplement with folic acid also may be necessary. This is especially true for women who are pregnant or breast-feeding, since their daily need for folate is higher, 600 mcg and 500 mcg per day, respectively. Be sure to check with your physician or a registered dietitian nutritionist before taking any supplements., .

Most vegetarians eat milk products and eggs, and as a group, these lacto-ovo-vegetarians enjoy good health. A healthful vegetarian diet falls within the food pyramid guidelines offered by the USDA. However, meat, fish and poultry are major sources of iron, zinc and B vitamins, so pay special attention to these nutrients. Vegans (those who eat only plant-based food) should consult a health care professional about adding vitamin and mineral supplements; make sure you consume sufficient quantities of protein, vitamin B12, vitamin D and calcium.
Female genital mutilation (also referred to as female genital cutting) is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons". It has sometimes been referred to as female circumcision, although this term is misleading because it implies it is analogous to the circumcision of the foreskin from the male penis.[76] Consequently, the term mutilation was adopted to emphasise the gravity of the act and its place as a violation of human rights. Subsequently, the term cutting was advanced to avoid offending cultural sensibility that would interfere with dialogue for change. To recognise these points of view some agencies use the composite female genital mutilation/cutting (FMG/C).[76]
Many WASH interventions targeted mothers and their caregiving behaviors for children. However, these interventions were applied to entire households and not individual household members. Larger community-based hygiene and sanitation initiatives broadly reached more people in the community (131). However, certain populations such as the elderly and young children might have limited access to public infrastructure, such as public latrines, particularly if there are physical and economic barriers to accessing them (136).
For some simple suggestions about eating a healthy, balanced diet, check out the "New American Plate Concept" from the American Institute for Cancer Research. This concept suggests you fill your plate with two-thirds or more of vegetables, fruits, whole grains or beans and only one-third or less of animal protein. This simple principle can guide you toward healthier eating. For more details, visit http://www.aicr.org/site/PageServer?pagename=reduce_diet_new_american_plate.
Third, of the interventions that were evaluated, many interventions targeted women who were pregnant, lactating, or with young children <5 y of age. We do not refute the important focus on mothers and their children as a group deserving of special attention, given women's increased nutrient needs during pregnancy and lactation and the intergenerational consequences during this period. However, even the interventions that focused on maternal nutrition often only reported on birth and nutrition outcomes of the child, and not those of the mother. In addition, although there were interventions that targeted adolescent girls and women of reproductive age, they were fewer and less well evaluated than interventions that targeted women as mothers. This aligns with findings from other research which illustrated a higher proportion of programs targeting pregnant and lactating women and women with young children (209). We also found major gaps in the targeting of interventions for older women. With growing rates of overweight, obesity, and noncommunicable diseases, in addition to undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, it is essential to think outside of the maternal-focused paradigm to reach women at all life stages.
A BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight and one 30 or above is considered obese. For an idea of what this means, a 5-foot 5-inch woman who weighs 150 pounds is overweight with a BMI of 25. At 180 pounds, she would be considered obese, with a BMI of 30. Keep in mind that the tables aren't always accurate, especially if you have a high muscle mass; are pregnant, nursing, frail or elderly; or if you are a teenager (i.e., still growing).
Globally, cervical cancer is the fourth commonest cancer amongst women, particularly those of lower socioeconomic status. Women in this group have reduced access to health care, high rates of child and forced marriage, parity, polygamy and exposure to STIs from multiple sexual contacts of male partners. All of these factors place them at higher risk.[11] In developing countries, cervical cancer accounts for 12% of cancer cases amongst women and is the second leading cause of death, where about 85% of the global burden of over 500,000 cases and 250,000 deaths from this disease occurred in 2012. The highest incidence occurs in Eastern Africa, where with Middle Africa, cervical cancer is the commonest cancer in women. The case fatality rate of 52% is also higher in developing countries than in developed countries (43%), and the mortality rate varies by 18-fold between regions of the world.[123][17][122]
Women's nutrition is often eclipsed by maternal nutrition. There are important linkages between maternal nutrition and the health, cognitive development, and earning potential of future generations (1). However, with reduced childbearing and longer life spans, women's experiences extend beyond motherhood (2). Interventions and policies that target women solely as mothers fail to account for women before they conceive, after they no longer engage with programs targeting maternal–child health, as well as those who never have children (3, 4). A woman's nutrition should matter not (only) because of her reproductive potential, but because it is fundamental to her rights as a person and to her well-being and ability to thrive (5–7). With increasing attention to the nutritional needs of adolescent girls (8, 9), in addition to the rising prevalence of overweight, obesity, and noncommunicable disease affecting women later in life (10), it is becoming more imperative that interventions reach women at all life stages.

Q: Zerobrane dark mode howto How to I activate dark mode in Zerobrane v1.9? If it is linked to the OS's dark mode setting, is there a way to force it on (I'm win7), or otherwise customize the colors of the filetree and outline windows?

A: I had the same question and it took me weeks to figure it out. So, I am answering the question for every Lua dev here.
To change ZeroBrane's Theme, just do the following:

*

*Head over to ZeroBraneStudio\cfg

*Right click on scheme-picker.lua

*Open With: -> ZeroBrane.exe (yes, the program executable).

*It opens up Zero Brane with a Lua file opened. Just click any Theme you want from that list, for example where it says [monokai].
That's it! The theme changes immediately.

A: Yes, you can follow the instructions in the Color Scheme section (or check this FAQ answer). Keep in mind that some of the sub-components on the page take their colors from the OS theme (like the toolbar and the window borders) and will remain light even when the color of the editor and the filetree panels is dark.
When the OS dark mode setting is enabled, then the dark color scheme is selected automatically, but you can still set it to the one you prefer the same way as described in the previous paragraph.

Detroit Radical Childcare Collective: Not your typical babysitters
Melinda Clynes | Tuesday, September 18, 2018
Julia Cuneo, one of DRCC's founders, with kids Detroit Radical Childcare Collective
Finding quality childcare and preschool can be a discouraging process for families in Detroit. This article is the first in a series that will dig into alternative childcare options for working families.
Adela Nieves Martinez, mother of a busy toddler, has an open mind about parenting. "I want my child to be able to be who she is, and explore that without any imposing norms on her," she says.
But it was hard to find a daycare service that shared her values about gender norms and other issues. That is, until she discovered the Detroit Radical Childcare Collective (DRCC).
Mostly 20-somethings and mostly organizers, students, and artists, the members of DRCC bring a social justice bent to their work with children. Providing care for kids in family homes and at organized events and meetings, this group of progressive Detroiters is using a principle-driven platform to fill a gap in quality childcare needs for families.
Julia Cuneo, a youth organizer, started the collaborative with two friends, Paige Watkins and Marcia Black. Cuneo wanted a break from her professional work. She babysat as a teen, and was drawn back to it as an adult. "Some days I just want to play with a baby," she says.
The group also wanted to elevate the voices of people of color. So they drew up their operating principles and created a Facebook page in December of 2016. Clearly, the word "radical" didn't scare parents away.
"All of sudden we were a group, and people started contacting us. It got huge almost immediately," says Cuneo. Right away, the collective's Facebook page had 500 likes.
Part of the draw for both members and users of the collective is its five guiding principles.
Caregivers earn a living wage, at $15 an hour, promoting economic justice. Providers will barter for goods or services from clients who can't afford it on a situation-by-situation basis. In the past, they've accepted prepared meals, reiki services, and professional development training.
Collective work, where caregivers and kids share in in the responsibility for spaces, is another guiding ideal.
And, not surprisingly, there's no yelling, spanking, or time outs; a restorative justice approach focuses on reflective language to create a safe, trust-based environment.
The collective is also gender affirming, believing that kids' gender expression is valid; caregivers don't try to force children to fit certain molds.
That was important to Nieves Martinez, who started using the collective when her baby was 6 months old after seeing DRCC caring for children at group events. She was deliberate in seeking caregivers who would respect and honor her traditional healing and social justice work.
"And don't impose a gender binary," says Nieves Martinez. "That pink is for girls and blue is for boys, and girls must be calm and never say too much, and boys are the wild ones that get to run around and use their voice."
The final principle is child-friendly activism. When caregivers work in spaces with activists, the childcare is relevant to the work being done; kids are included in conversations and activities. "If they bring a coloring book, it's going to be a social justice coloring book," says Jackson Koeppel, executive director of Soulardarity, which organizes Highland Park and Detroit communities around clean energy.
On the cusp of forming a childcare committee for Soulardarity, Koeppel learned about the DRCC on Facebook. The group started using the collective for its events and meetings to make it more accessible for parents.
"There are a lot of single parents in our community — especially in our organizing community," says Koeppel. "Having [DRCC] there has allowed a lot more people to participate in a way that doesn't strain their capacity, and it's allowed us to basically do our work in better alignment with our values."
About 50 percent of DRCC's work is through organizations. Soulardarity, First Unitarian Universalist Church of Detroit, Mothering Justice, and East Michigan Environmental Action Council are among its clients.
Members of DRCC (left to right): Helen Foster, Rebecca Anuru, Claire Mahoney, Didi Adi, Kit Parks, Linda Girard, Marie Reimers The same ideals important to groups carry over into homes. Shimekia Nichols works for Soulardarity. After engaging the DRCC in community education events, she began hiring its caregivers for her 1- and 5-year-old sons during work hours.
"It wasn't necessary for childcare providers I've used in the past to have liberal ideals," says Nichols. But after using DRCC, she realized that those shared ideals made her more comfortable. "I seldom wonder if a DRCC provider is teaching my children something that isn't keeping with what I am teaching them at home."
Early this year, DRCC held its first official training for members on restorative practices, and is planning more. Cuneo would like to conduct external trainings, too, "where the community can learn from us, as well as where we can learn with the community."
While most of the collective's members are in their 20s, they span in age; there's a member who is 18 and a 40-year-old member who is in law school. "And then we have people who are activists who are just trying to get work that fits with their values, which is so hard," says Cuneo.
Until the end of 2017, all the members could personally vouch for each other. Many had worked in schools or youth programs, and had recently done background checks. "We'd seen them work with kids, and they were people we knew really well."
But with increasing demand also came an increase in those who wanted to join the collective. So members solidified a process to screen, evaluate skills, and train prospective members.
While the initial interest form asks for references and experience level, the collective does not turn interested people away if they don't have childcare experience — that's not what it's about. Rather, it invites new members to shadow a current member and learn, with the intent to build a welcoming community.
DRCC members also are tech savvy, able to easily incorporate social media, Google Forms, and GroupMe into their processes. Requests are completed online. From there, job dispatches are done via email and group messaging. Once a member accepts a job, the communication is private between the childcare provider and the person who books it. Future jobs can be arranged directly with the provider or through the online process.
Repeat business validates the collaborative's success. Cuneo often receives texts from people who originally booked her through the collective and want her to come back because they're familiar with each other. "Each of us is developing our own little pod of clients that we work with the most."
Nieves Martinez is one of those loyal users. "They are who I want to work with. I don't want to seek other childcare," says Nieves Martinez. "I appreciate who they are as people. I appreciate who they are in the community … even besides the work that they do in childcare."
The Detroit Radical Childcare Collective has been successful in pulling together a group of people who care about kids and are organized by a set of strong principles. For today's parents, who expect more from their sitters than a clean diaper and strict bedtime, the collective seems to fill a void. And it has for the collective members too.
"I love the collective," Cuneo says. "It's been really cool to have a network of parents and healers and cultural workers and artists who all love kids to talk about what that looks like."

Ruby Boots' music will stop you in your tracks. The rising Australian star, now based in Nashville TN, possesses a red wine-stained soulful voice that crackles with swagger and sorrow. Her fiercely honest lyrics strike deep into your heart while her music delivers an alluring mix of Americana, Rock, Folk and Blues. Leaving home at a young age, to work on pearling boats, is where she found the distance, space and time needed to hone her songwriting skills.
Her first full-length, 'Solitude' has been hailed as "a landmark Australian release" and a "world class debut," while scoring her a Song of The Year award for lead-single, 'Wrap Me In A Fever.' The ten tunes that populate 'Solitude' wrestle with universal themes filtered through Ruby's captivating combination of vulnerability and strength. She displays an artistic confidence and emotional candour that evokes her heroes like Lucinda Williams as well as such Americana contemporaries as Nikki Lane and Shovels & Rope.
The past two years have seen her receive multiple awards, end up in countless top album lists and share stages with Father John Misty, Justin Townes Earle, Shakey Graves, Kris Kristofferson, Tim Rogers, Oh Mercy, Henry Wagons and many more. Festivals attendees at Out On The Weekend, Port Fairy, Big Day Out, Laneway, Wave Rock, Queenscliff, Moomba, Riverboats and Festival of the Sun have also witnessed Ruby's telling live show first-hand.
After recently being named as a 'Americana Festival 2016 Showcasing Artist to Watch' by renowned US magazine, American Songwriter, work on her second record is underway with tracking scheduled for early Jan '17 and release slated for mid 2017.

Attawapiskat Takes On Suicide
April 14, 1994 • By Alex Roslin
The Crees of Attawapiskat are fighting back against youth suicide.
"Something reporters miss is the potential of the community to do something for people in trouble," says Maurice Sutherland, a solvency-abuse worker in the community of 1,400. "They just talk about the problems. What we're trying to do is talk about solutions."
Attawapiskat, located 240 km north of Moosonee, is one of three First Nations communities that have asked the federal and provincial governments to do more to fight native youth suicide and fund community-based prevention programs. The deputy chief of Attawapiskat, Greg Shisheesh, told reporters that 87 young people have committed suicide in the 46-community Nishnawbe Aski Nation since 1986 and gasoline sniffing is rampant.
Sutherland said the problem of suicide in Attawapiskat stems from the residential schools, which only closed in 1972. "In the residential schools we were brainwashed, there was sexual abuse, a lack of communication between families, lack of teaching of parental skills. It wasn't the way we brought up our kids before."
He said most suicidal kids have problems at home and are early-age school dropouts who speak only Cree. Sutherland said the government has contributed by doing little about poor living conditions, a lack of housing and running water, high unemployment and inadequate recreation facilities for youth.
Sutherland called on the government to help Attawapiskat deal with suicide by funding the construction of a sports arena and solvency-treatment centre in the community. Now, the closest treatment is far away in Manitoba, which isn't helpful for youth who speak only Cree.

Unilever Announces Effort to Provide Hygiene Services for Those Living on the Streets
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Dec. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Unilever today announced "The Right to Dignity", a social mission and commitment to improving the health and well-being of people living on the streets. Unilever is partnering with mobile shower organizations across the country to help provide reliable, safe and free access to showers and other basic hygiene needs, services often unrecognized but proven to be critical in improving welfare. The launch was marked by a convening of a committed group of changemakers, advocates and experts united in their efforts to positively impact people experiencing homelessness, held in New York City.
Speaking at the event, Unilever CEO Paul Polmansaid, "We have long known about the many challenges we are facing as a society: inequality, poverty, youth unemployment and climate change. The list is long. I have always believed that business has power to influence these issues, and the communities impacted. Here in the U.S., we know it is critical to address the issue of inequality and homelessness."
Since its founding, Unilever has been on a mission to make cleanliness commonplace and believes that no one should be denied access to hygiene resources. With the lack of consistent, safe hygiene services available to those living on the streets, and the transformative impact these services can provide, the company saw a powerful opportunity to make a difference.
"While we know homelessness is a complex and systemic issue, we've learned that health and hygiene play a critical role in helping people feel able to move through the world and be seen," said Esi Eggleston Bracey, EVP and COO of Personal Care for Unilever North America. "For this reason, dignity is at the core of the mission Unilever is building, with today as an important first step."
To better understand how it could make an impact, Unilever partnered with Lava Mae, the largest mobile shower organization in the U.S., which has provided more than 58,000 showers to more than 15,000 guests in California since its launch in 2014 and has also inspired 100+ mobile hygiene services modeled after its own. Over the past year, Unilever has provided direct financial support for Lava Mae as well as likeminded organizations such as Streetside Showers, Organization of Hope, Project Outpour and Brooklyn Community Services. These investments will help build additional mobile shower units and sustain operations in San Francisco, Dallas, Baltimore, Charlotte and Brooklynrespectively. The long-term goal is to build a nationwide network of providers delivering regular, safe, free hygiene and wellbeing services to all those experiencing housing instability.
As Unilever introduces this commitment the company hopes to be part of a broader movement to impact homelessness. Visit UnileverUSA.com to learn more about the impact that can be made to the lives of those living on the streets.

CBM-Asia South East Regional Director Rainer Guetler shares updates regarding the future direction of CBM Philippines. He also talks about the Post-Emergency Response Implementation Programme (PERIP) in the Philippines.
Dear Partners and Friends,
Welcome to the maiden edition of our newsletter 'Insights'. The date for the launch of the newsletter coincides with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. CBM, as a Disability Inclusive Development Organisation, is committed to improving the quality of life of people with disabilities and actively promotes the commemoration of this day, which is celebrated upon initiative of the United Nations since 1992. CBM is working jointly with the United Nations, in particular with World Health Organisation (WHO) and United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), to ensure that the rights of persons with disabilities are applied and that disability relevant action is included in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (MDGs).
CBM and partners are working closely together to implement the Philippine Country Plan (2017-2021). The Plan specifies strategies to further develop Community Based Inclusive Development (CBID), an area of work, which is vibrantly active in the Philippines. Initiatives in Inclusive Eye Health, Ear and Hearing Care, Inclusive Livelihood, and Inclusive Education are complementing and supporting these Community Programmes and are highlighting good practice for future integration into national programmes as envisaged by the Philippine Government.
The theme of this year's day of Persons with Disabilities - 'Transformation towards sustainable and resilient society for all', is very relevant in this context. For CBM and partners, Disability Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction (DIDRR) as well as disaster preparedness and in case when disasters strikes, emergency response form integral pillars of CBM's CBID work in the Philippines. Incidentally, our typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan post emergency implementation plan came to completion in 2017. In these three years, together with our partners, CBM could meaningfully contribute to overcoming the effects of the typhoon and we could build up expertise in DIDRR as well as being prepared to respond to future disasters, if necessary.
At our recent partners meeting, held from 13 to 15 November, we had meaningful exchanges through sharing and planning sessions. We are working actively to design the cornerstones of our joint future work. The fact that our office will transition into a CBM Country Office by mid-2018 will allow us even greater focus in advancing the implementation of CRPD and MDGs in the Philippines.
I wish you interesting readings of articles in this newsletter from CBM staff and partners and that these may inspire you for your own work.
As we are preparing for the holidays and for year-end, I wish you a successful conclusion of 2017 activities, well-deserved rest, and meaningful celebrations with your loved ones, as to whether we can start together refreshed in 2018.
Rainer Guetler
Regional Director CBM-ASE

The pool employee who allegedly told children wearing hijabs that they could not go into a public pool has been reassigned as tensions over accusations in Delaware continue to make waves.
The leaders of a Muslim children's summer camp joined with an advocacy group to sent a cease and desist letter to the Wilmington mayor's office over what their attorney called conduct that "contravenes basic standards of decency."
The cease and desist letter was the latest move in a weeks-long saga over whether the Muslim children were appropriately treated at the pool, the fallout from which included a public apology from the city's mayor and a postponed meeting between the camp leaders and the mayor.
Auliyn Brown, right, enters the water at Dr. Foster M. Brown Pool, July 12, 2018 in Wilmington, Del.
The letter was written by attorney Juvaria Khan, who works with the civil rights group Muslim Advocates and is representing the staff of Darul Academy, which runs the summer camp.
Khan wrote that the staffers at the pool "the staff has consistently used derogatory terms to refer to these children, creating a hostile environment and, on several occasions, preventing them from accessing the pool altogether."
When "pushed for an explanation," the staff allegedly pointed to an unwritten policy banning cotton in the pool, which presented a problem based on the children's religious clothing.
"In reality, the staff can point to no such written policy, and these purported explanations are merely pretext for the true motivation behind their conduct: discrimination against these children on the basis of their race, religion, and/or socio-economic status," Khan wrote in the cease and desist letter.
Director of Darul-Amaanah Academy Tahsiyn Ismaa'eel watches over swimmers from her school, July 12, 2018 at Dr. Foster M. Brown Pool in Wilmington, Del.
John Rago, the deputy chief of staff for Wilmington Mayor Michael Purzycki, released a statement saying that the letter and the allegations are "being taken very seriously."
The manager at the Foster Brown pool has been reassigned, Rago said in the statement, and noted that the investigation into the allegations is ongoing.
"For the remaining 15 days or so of this pool season, there will be a very liberal policy in place regarding proper swimwear without restrictions on the types of fabrics worn. During the off-season, the City will review its pool regulations to strike an appropriate balance among several factors, include religious expression and the safety of the swimmers," Rago said in the statement.

Purzycki apologized on July 14 for one of the alleged incidents that happened on June 25, saying that officials used "poor judgment" in the situation.
"We should be held accountable for what happened and how poorly we assessed this incident," he said in his July 14 statement.
"What they want out of this is to be treated equally and to know that they can show up at Foster Brown or any other pool and know they can use it like anybody else," Khan said.

Killua Castle () ist ein Landhaus in der Nähe des Dorfes Clonmellon im irischen County Westmeath.

Das heutige Haus ließ Sir Benjamin Chapman 1780 erbauen. Darin befanden sich eine Halle, ein Speisezimmer, ein ovaler Salon, ein Frühstücksraum, sowie eine Haupt- und eine Hintertreppe. Es gab auch Stallungen und eine Scheune. Von hier aus verwalteten die Chapmans im 18. Jahrhundert das umgebende, 36 km² große Bauernland. Die Ruine wurde 2006 renoviert.

Geschichte
Killua Castle und das umgebende Land erhielt um 1667 Benjamin Chapman, ein Captain von Cromwells Armee; das Anwesen war vom Johanniterorden konfisziert worden. Nach Chapmans Tod fiel die Burg an dessen ältesten Sohn, William, und nach dessen Tod 1734 an dessen Sohn, Benjamin. Benjamin Chapman starb 1779 und so folgte ihm sein Sohn, ebenfalls Benjamin, nach; er wurde dann zum Baronet erhoben.

Das heutige Landhaus ließ Benjamin Chapman, 1. Baronet, 1780 errichten, nachdem die ursprüngliche Burg abgerissen war. Er vererbte es 1810 an seinen Bruder Thomas, der Anfang der 1820er-Jahre einen großen Turm und verschiedene weitere Türme, darunter einen Bibliotheksturm, einen Treppenturm und einen Turm mit Hintertür, anbauen ließ. Er ließ auch die Zinnen des Landhauses vervollständigen und den Raleigh-Obelisken in der Nähe aufstellen. 1837 folgte ihm sein Sohn, Sir Montagu Chapman, 3. Baronet, nach, der 1852 vor der Küste Australiens vermisst wurde. Das Anwesen erbte Montagus Bruder, Benjamin Chapman, 4. Baronet, und dann dessen Sohn, Montagu Richard Chapman, 5. Baronet. Der 5. Baronet starb 1907 kinderlos und seine Witwe, eine Cousine, teilte das Anwesen zwischen den vier legitimen Töchtern ihres Bruders, Sir Thomas Chapman, 7. Baronet, auf. Das Haus und die verbleibenden 4,9 km² Grund wurden 1949 verkauft.

Bis 2006 war Killua Castle eine efeuüberrankte Ruine ohne Dach.

Syfy's Blood And Chrome Is Still Coming…At Some Point
By David Wharton | 8 years ago
Remember Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome? The prequel series to Ron Moore's re-imagining of BSG was going to be set during the first human/Cylon war, and looked to be quite a bit more action packed than Caprica. Unfortunately, while what little we've seen of the show looked very promising, each new bit of news has also tended to be bad. When the show was first announced in 2010, it was supposed to be a full-fledged Syfy TV series. Then it was perhaps only going to be a web series, or maybe one-off TV movie. And then…well, here we are, aren't we? A new update from the folks at Syfy suggests that there might still be some life in the project…but we still have no clue when we might finally get to see it.
This latest ember of hope sparked up via the official Syfy Twitter account. During a Q&A, somebody asked when or if Blood and Chrome might make it to air. Syfy's Craig Engler replied with, "You'll definitely see it, date TBD." And that's it. Not exactly a font of information, but it's something, and we'll take what we can get when it comes to Blood and Chrome. Hey, at least it means it isn't totally dead at the moment.
What is frustrating is that that's pretty much the only information it provides. They say it will air, but in what format? Is it still going to be a TV movie? A web series? Could Syfy have come to their senses and decided to expand it back into a full series? Why does Syfy hate us so?
Hopefully we won't have to wait another six months to hear more. In the mean time, here's the badass Blood and Chrome trailer to make you irritated all over again.

Dancing was definitely a hallmark of my childhood. My sister and I danced at our local dance studio, and we started performing fairly young as part of a revue. These revues in the Black community usually had a comic MC, a flash act like the Nicholas Brothers, a tap dancer, an exotic dancer or a stripper, which was kind of like post-vaudeville burlesque. My sister and I, we were part of the kiddie act. I did that probably from age 7 or 8 until about 16 or 17. Read more »

Central Florida's economic forecast for 2023
"Nationally in 2023, we expect the health care industry to grow faster than the overall economy, reflecting health care's continued expanding share of the nation's GDP. Interestingly, health care costs have not been growing as fast as other consumer staples such as food and gas. This is partially the result of health care prices being set in advance through federal and state programs and through contracting with private insurance payers. Health systems are under pressure through higher labor and supply costs. As a result of these cost pressures and other factors, expect to see additional health system consolidation across the state and nation." Read more »

Northwest Florida's economic forecast for 2023
"For the most part, companies are hiring, but as they go into 2023, they are still hurting for people. I went to a conference recently, and I learned that in the health care field there is one nurse for every 10 open positions. In the hospitality industry, it is one person for every six job openings. It's getting better, but it's still very painful for many industries. So, a lot of companies are trying to fill the gap with automation, and inevitably everybody is going to have to go there out of desperation. Many companies have resisted doing that, but they have got to find a way to close the job gap and perhaps consider going down the artificial intelligence path. Perhaps using AI to search through resumes for keywords and things of that nature. We're a very personalized relationship-driven business, so we don't want to damage our interpersonal relationships by being too abstract or too distant or too techie, but we have had a really hard time, especially following COVID, finding quality people for quality jobs."

Miami's economic forecast for 2023
"Insurance is always front of mind for Florida owners and investors. Rising construction costs and pricing for properties has led to a dramatic increase in required total insurable value.

Stability in this market will be crucial to keep transactions moving smoothly in Miami." Read more »

The development and assessment of spectrum management methods for the copper access network are usually conducted under the assumption of accurate channel information.
Acquiring such information implies, in practice, estimation of the crosstalk coupling functions between the twisted-pair lines in the access network. However, this estimation is not supported or required by current digital subscriber line (DSL) standards. In this work, we investigate the impact of non-ideal crosstalk estimation on the dynamic spectrum management (DSM) performance. Two different crosstalk estimators are considered: a conventional model-based estimator and a novel estimation procedure. The DSM performance is evaluated based on the obtained crosstalk estimates for two different network scenarios consisting of real twisted-pair cables. For a reference comparison, the crosstalk channels are measured with a network analyzer. The simulation results indicate that the novel estimation procedure achieves DSM performance results close to the ones obtained with the network analyzer and that the model-based estimator can lead to an inaccurate rate estimation.

The following sampling of articles will help you get a better idea of the kind of exceptional service and results you can expect from Sunbelt Canada.
We are very proud of these public testimonials from happy sellers and we look forward to exploring how we can best serve your needs too, in buying or selling your business.
In the end, it pays off.
Take that advice from Nestor Romanuck, former owner of Promotion Tours of Edmonton.
That's exactly what he did, then when it came time to sell Promotion Tours through Sunbelt Business Brokers, he ended up with a solid deal.
Since 1981, Don Good had been running his own law firm specializing in cases involving food, agribusiness, farm law, and environmental law. A big focus was litigation. But by 2012, two factors came into play for Don: the readiness for a lifestyle change and a heart health issue that caused him to think about his future. Don listed his law firm for sale with Sunbelt Ottawa.
"It's the best money I ever spent," says Don.
Early in 2011, Clyde Walton, owner of successful landmark toy store The Toy Shoppe of London, was approached by successful Toronto landmark toy retailer Mastermind Toys about selling his business.
Clyde decided to engage Sunbelt and follow the process they suggested. He ended up selling his business, but stayed on as manager, in what is now Mastermind Toys.
Read more about how Clyde came to this arrangement.
In 2010, EJ and Don McGillis had three thriving toddlers. By March 2011, they were down to two. And by August 2011, they were down to one—their son, Spencer.
The reduction was a planned and happy one for all concerned, especially for the buyers of the two Edible Arrangements stores EJ and Don had raised from "birth" in Ottawa. With these two "babies" in good hands, the couple would have more family time for their own youngster. "It was our plan to sell the stores separately," EJ explains.
Read more about how EJ and Don built and sold their two stores on their own time and terms.
When it was time for popular Edmonton aesthetician Alicja Krzyzowska to find the right buyer for her skin care salon, she was happy to hand the job over to Sunbelt business broker Michael McCulloch.
She especially appreciated that he screened prospects to confirm their resources and potential to assume the business and only set up meetings with buyers he felt were serious. That allowed her to maintain her regular operations.
After selling his John Deere dealership of 44 years, John Williams gets to "fix" what he loves in his own time, including the rebuilding of antique steam engines.
Creative workarounds by Sunbelt office owner and president Greg Kells gave John and his wife ongoing income and made the purchase affordable for the buyer.
Former Trytel Internet Inc. company owner Jeff Hurrie knew how to build a business but he didn't know how to sell one.
Barbara Malone had listed her business of 20 years, Glebe Side Kids, with Sunbelt because she was acquainted with Sunbelt Canada President Greg Kells personally and believed he would handle the transaction fairly, honestly and professionally.
Both seller and buyer found his input and advice invaluable.
I was a complete novice, says Barbara. This was the first time I had ever been through selling a business and I was very happy with the service. Greg is a hard worker. He worked on the inventory with me and he was very helpful when it came to closing the transaction.
Buyer Christina McNab was equally effusive in her praise.
Sam (Ahmed) Rabaa and his wife Maha were thrilled at the opportunity to move to California. But they faced one major hurdle: before they could leave Ottawa, Sam had to sell Studio Elegante, his successful hairdressing salon. Sam had tried to sell it privately but, at the 11th hour, the deal fell through.
Meanwhile, the three Bunsick kids finally were old enough for their mom, Nathalie, to make her foray into the business world. Owning a beauty salon topped her wish list. Husband Andrew went on line where, like Maha Rabaa, he discovered Sunbelt.
The Bunsicks contacted Sunbelt and sat down with agent Mark Cullen.
Would they recommend Sunbelt to others?
After due consideration of two potential buyers, Henry opted to sell the business to Michael Assal, who moved his family back to Ottawa from Washington, D.C., where they were living when the opportunity surfaced.
"The transaction required me to spend a lot of time negotiating with Mr. Armstrong," says Michael. "Sunbelt was very professional and often stepped in to facilitate when possible areas of conflict surfaced.

Gabe Newell says Valve isn't tracking your browser history

Share All sharing options for: Gabe Newell says Valve isn't tracking your browser history
steam dev days gabe newell 640
A report surfaced two days ago on Reddit that claimed anti-cheat software used by video game developer Valve was allowing the Half-Life 2 and Steam creator to spy on its users' internet histories. Now, in a statement also issued on Reddit, Valve co-founder Gabe Newell has denied the accusation directly.
The original report said that Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC), software designed to stop the use of hacks and cheats in many games available on Steam, was pulling DNS data from its users' computers, before sending it back to Valve, a process that it suggested was designed to allow the company to build a picture of Steam users' browsing habits. Newell, who rarely addresses such conjecture directly, responded to the concerns with a short Q&A.
1) Do we send your browsing history to Valve? No.
2) Do we care what porn sites you visit? Oh, dear god, no. My brain just melted.
3) Is Valve using its market success to go evil? I don't think so, but you have to make the call if we are trustworthy. We try really hard to earn and keep your trust.
Newell also explained the reasoning for VAC's use of DNS data, explaining that as cheats get more advanced, cheat creators for Steam's online games can charge money for their hacks. Many, Newell said, also create DRM and anti-cheat code for their original hacks, designed to ensure a cheater has actually paid for their cheat. Those cheats "phone home" to an external DRM server that confirms a cheater has paid to use the cheat, a process that leaves a tell-tale trail in the users DNS entries. If found by VAC, then details of the matching DNS entries would be sent to Valve's VAC servers. The details would be checked one final time, and that client would be marked for a future ban.
DNS entries were apparently checked to search for the presence of specific cheats during a 13-day period
VAC's use of DNS data in this manner apparently continued for a 13-day search for "a specific round of cheats," during which, 570 cheaters were banned. The VAC test that checked DNS records for the offending entries is now, according to Newell, no longer active as hackers have already adapted. "Cheat providers have worked around it by manipulating the DNS cache of their customers' client machines."
The apparently inaccurate suggestions of the original report could've been due to misunderstanding. Newell called VAC "inherently a scary looking piece of software," because it was "trying to be obscure," and explained that Valve doesn't usually talk about its anti-cheat efforts "because it creates more opportunities for cheaters to attack the system." But he also said that as VAC gets better at stopping cheaters and the cost of developing new cheats rises, the number of complaints about VAC's nefarious intentions will increase. "For most cheat developers," he said, "social engineering might be a cheaper way to attack the system than continuing the code arms race, which means that there will be more Reddit posts trying to cast VAC in a sinister light."
