Our Work Around the World in 2019
Thanks to your support, War Child made significant progress last year in our mission to improve the resilience and wellbeing of children living with violence and armed conflict. From individual successes to the roll out of international programmes, we present our key achievements during 2019...
Rapid support for Venezuelan refugee children
Political and economic unrest in Venezuela drove more than four million people out of their homes in 2019. Hundreds of them ended up at the Centro de Atención Integral Maicao refugee camp near the Colombian border. Here, our TeamUp programme offers refugee children the support they need to begin to start over. The suite of activities - from sport to games to dance - provides children with an emotional outlet as well as a much-needed sense of stability.
Birgit van Delft, TeamUp International Coordinator, saw with her own eyes how the programme benefits young refugees. Birgit: "The TeamUp sessions help children to - for a brief moment - forget about their problems. We teach them dance steps and play games with them. For these children, this can make a world of difference. The activities distract them from their uncertain and stressful existence".
Like millions of other families, this Venezuelan father and daughter are in search of food, shelter and medical care.

Strengthening our scientific research model
War Child has long been committed to providing psychosocial support, education and protection for thousands of conflict-affected children around the world. Less known, however, is that an increasingly large part of our work consists of evaluating and improving the ways in which we provide that support.
Every day, our dedicated team of scientists and researchers measure the effectiveness of our work; identifying gaps as well as concrete scale-up methods. Through this critical attitude we aim - just like the children on our programmes - to continuously learn and grow. And ultimately reach more children. In 2019, we increased our focus on Research & Development by further developing a number of evidence-based interventions and tools within our integrated care and support system. And, from the rapid roll out of Can't Wait to Learn to a successful test run of our Stigma Reduction Approach, the merits of a robust research model continue to be evident.
From Uganda to Yemen - children in conflict-affected areas require tailored support that meets both their immediate and long-term needs.
Reaching more refugee children at home
TeamUp was launched in 2016 to respond to the urgent social and emotional needs of more than 7,000 refugee children living in asylum reception centres in the Netherlands. Over the course of the year - together with partner CED-Groep - we expanded our programme activities to meet the needs of refugee children at 17 schools across the country. Middle School teacher Susan said: "These children often carry a backpack full of hardship. In a safe environment we can teach them how to deal with emotional or difficult situations."
The sports, play and exercise activities help refugee children deal with emotions such as fear, anger and stress in a playful way. In the Dutch education sector, the demand for this method continues to grow.
We once again showcased our programme metholodogy during the annual 'TeamUp Date' - which saw our partners and supporters experience the activities at the core of the TeamUp programme for themselves. Attendees took part in the 'parachute game' together with our volunteer coordinators.
Teacher Susan: "Without TeamUp, these children would have a much harder time adjusting. The sessions help them unwind."
20,803 people #DrawTheLine
Most charities and non-governmental bodies focus on traditional humanitarian aid: a roof over a child's head, food and a warm blanket. However vital this aid is, 2019 saw War Child take major steps to address an even bigger crisis - mental health. What good is a blanket when fear keeps you up at night? And how does food comfort those without an appetite? With our petition #DrawTheLine we raised awareness for the millions of children unnecessarily marked for life.
The lack of emergency psychosocial support for children in conflict-affected areas desperately requires our attention. The petition - which called for increased resources to be directed towards humanitarian mental health responses - put this topic on the agenda. #DrawTheLine received the support of 20,803 people in Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden and was presented to Dutch Princess Mabel and Sigrid Kaag, Dutch Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation.

Building resilience in Uganda
Following decades of war and political unrest, the situation in Uganda has somewhat stabilised. However, due to ongoing violence in neighbouring countries, including South Sudan and DRC, the country now provides shelter for over 1.36 million refugees and asylum seekers - half of them children. For many of these children, their journey to safety is characterised by trauma and distress. And now they find themselves in crowded refugee camps, often separated from their families.
Our sports and game activities and education programmes in Uganda help strengthen children's innate resilience. We support their recovery through from the conflict-related violence they faced at home to the insecurity and threats to their safety they face now. Step by step they learn how to deal with their experiences and begin to place trust in themselves as well as their environment.
We teach Ugandan children and youth to work together and resolve conflicts peacefully.
Prestigious Innovation Prize for tablet education
At the start of 2019, our Can't Wait to Learn education programme won a prestigious UNESCO prize. The King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa Prize on Innovation in Education is awarded annually to ICT projects that utilise technology in order to make education more accessible throughout the world. With the support of our partners, War Child's Can't Wait to Learn programme has achieved exactly that.
We teach children how to read, write and count by playing educational games on tablet devices. Thanks to a unique delivery method, Can't Wait to Learn can be used anytime, anywhere during or post-conflict - even in areas where electricity or internet access are in short supply. In this way, we work to prevent a generation of children from being left behind.
With the help of local children, we adapt Can't Wait to Learn's educational games to reflect their environment and government-approved curricula.
Safe Spaces for 3000+ Children
"Thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty!" she cries out proudly. Watching Sumaya jump rope, it is hard to imagine what her life looked like just a few years ago. Thanks to our Safe Space, she can now play outside free from harm. Yet when she stops, her memories come flooding back...
Like many of her peers, Mariam- born in Mosul in northern Iraq - has been living in a refugee camp for years. At our Safe Space we help children like her deal with their daily stressors as well as their experiences of war and conflict. Above all, we help children be children again - free from the threats of the outside world. In this environment, children can begin to process what they have been through - helping combat long-term mental health problems including anxiety and depression. The results of our year-end campaign showed that in 2019, we were able to provide a Safe Space for 3,125 children across our countries of work.
Millions of refugee children suffer from stress, nightmares and trauma. At our Safe Spaces we help them regain control of their lives.

Furthering our mission in 2020
Without the help of our donors, partners and supporters, our 2019 achievements would not have been possible. From the development of flagship international programmes and training courses to growing recognition for psychosocial support, we are eternally grateful.
This year marks War Child's 25th anniversary. Yet we see no cause for celebration. Some 142 million children around the world continue to live with the effects of violence and armed conflict. And, with the scale and complexity of humanitarian emergencies more acute than ever, we must work together to amplify our efforts. In 2020, War Child Holland will continue to collaborate with local organisations, partners, international NGOs and more to develop new interventions and advocate for lasting change in children's lives.

Wheatgrass grower carves at-home niche business in the fresh wheatgrass industry
by Barbara Berst Adams A version of this article originally appeared in Urban Farm Magazine
Copyright National Lilac Publishing, LLC
Ellen McGlynn of Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, is the creator and owner of a successful 2-acre micro eco-farming business called the Wheatgrass Grower, LLC. Wheatgrass as a crop is the first green growth of the wheat plant (hard red winter wheat* -- see more about where to find this seed below) which is juiced for immediate consumption, frozen, or dried into powder for eventual animal and human consumption as a health food. Since the 1930s when it was studied as a possible substance for health, it's grown in popularity and status as a healing food, reportedly providing quality and good quantities of chlorophyll, amino acids, minerals, vitamins and enzymes.
While Ellen's main crop is currently wheatgrass, she is also preparing to grow complementary crops on her two acres in addition to the wheatgrass. It appears a small wheatgrass crop alone could be many things to farmers: an addition to a larger farming operation that wants to use a small parcel to diversify, a full time small acreage business, or a consistent part time income. "It is a rewarding small business with a lot of growth potential," Ellen says, "but it can also work very nicely for someone just looking to make a flexible part-time income, like myself." Ellen, in fact, had more business than she needed and eventually cut back because she didn't want or need to work full time. She has arranged her business so she can take summers off to be with her young daughter when school is out, as well as take a little time off during the winter holidays. "In the process of whittling things down," she says, "I have been able to carve out a small, steady clientele that has enabled me to run a tighter ship and gives me a greater feeling of control."
From empty basement to thriving business
Ellen lives on and owns three and a half acres. Her property is unique, in that a township line divides the property into two agricultural acres and the remaining one and a half into residential wooded property. Her home and Wheatgrass Grower business occupies the two agriculturally-zoned acres.

The wheatgrass business evolved from her basement. "When I bought my home, it was only three years old," she says, "and it had an unfinished walk-in basement that I converted into what I would call an herbal workshop. I had a special dedicated HVAC system installed to include electrostatic air cleaning, auto dehumidification, indoor/outdoor air exchange, and ultraviolet air cleaning. The growing area itself is only about a 400 square foot area with a periphery of full-spectrum grow racks (to accommodate up to 120 trays) and two work tables in the center. I also had extra plumbing fixtures installed to accommodate plant watering, cleanup, and various work prep. It's something that has taken three years to evolve with the help of a patient master plumber. The adjacent basement areas are dedicated to the business for office and creative use."
Ellen uses no synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or fertilizers. "I use an all-natural soil growing medium mixed with peat moss and other organic amendments as necessary," she says, "such as lime to control the pH balance or volcanic ash for added minerals." (Since this writing, Ellen has evolved into a hydroponics method which she describes on her website.)
The business is Certified Naturally Grown, and operates as a limited liability company (LLC). As with many who operate either as a small corporation or LLC, these business entities can protect the business owner's assets if they are run properly. "It was set up that way as a legal safety net," Ellen says, and then went on to explain that it also helped make it known she is serious about her business when people see the LLC in her business name.
She has created a very workable and flexible schedule for herself. The business is closed from Memorial Day through Labor Day except for pre-arranged summer events, and also mid-December to mid-January. Otherwise, she is open by appointment Monday – Wednesday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. On days she's not open to the public, she can fit in other obligations. "I basically had to arrange my hours based on the school system," she says. "I work minimal off-hours to tend to things like mixing soil, cleaning trays, and tending to various administrative tasks. It's all very flexible. If there are no appointments on a particular day, I might opt to use that time for something entirely personal, like a doctors' appointment, and then finish up work at a more convenient time."

Finding customers and the benefits of keeping them satisfied
Ellen's small farm business demonstrates how some of the best farm marketing methods are product quality and honest, friendly service that generate serious customer loyalty, even in less than ideal circumstances. Her main customers are individuals who want to consume wheatgrass on a regular basis. Secondary markets are those who use trays of wheatgrass ornamentally, such as florists, spas and wedding parties. "It's a very slanted percentage, though," Ellen says. "About 95% of my business caters to customers who consume wheatgrass regularly and are referred to me through health professionals.
"Most of my sales are for cut product. It's based on a convenience issue for that 95% of my customers who are buying it for juicing purposes and usually do not have the time or patience to deal with a living product. It's also easier and cleaner to transport and store a small bag rather than a 10" x 20" tray. I don't often go the route of selling trays for juicing purposes because, according to studies, I believe there is an optimal time to harvest the grass, just as there is an optimal time to pick a tomato. You wouldn't let a ripe tomato hang on the vine until you were ready to eat it. You would pick it when it was nice and red and either eat it immediately or store it for a short amount of time before it went rotten. Some people are under the impression that harvesting their wheatgrass "fresh" from the tray, no matter when they harvest it, is the best way to go, but the reality is that wheatgrass reaches its peak nutrition on day 10 of growth. After that, nutritional values start to decline. The grass can only extract so much from 1" of soil.
"As for decorative displays, I don't actually decorate the wheatgrass myself like a florist would (except for personal events), though I do work with customers who are looking for ideas or might have a certain something in mind for their event and the grass base needs to be grown in a special container or flat. Basically, I either grow the grass base they need to work with, or I give them the instructions to help them grow their own. They can then either decorate it themselves or take it to their favorite florist for the finishing touches."
So, with Ellen's main customers being clients who want to consume wheatgrass regularly for health reasons, what happens to customers when she closes down for three months? "Obviously, having a summer break is not the most ideal situation for customers who prefer my product," she says, "but it has to be that way in order for me to be an available parent to my daughter. It's a risk I took last summer not knowing what to expect, and I kind of expected the worst. What happened is that my customers either sought out fresh wheatgrass from other local growers (I even gave them a list of PA and NJ growers because I didn't think it was right for me to just abandon them) or bought frozen wheatgrass juice. In the fall, ALL of my regulars eagerly came back to me because of product quality. It was quite a pleasant surprise, believe me! When and if my client base drops below a comfortable business-operating level, I will again approach the medical offices who use me as a referral in order to increase my customer base, but that has not happened yet.
Product expansion and agritourism possibilities
Beyond wheatgrass, Ellen is exploring ways to add additional crops that fit the needs of her current clientele and still allows for summers off so she can spend full time with her young daughter. She describes these new crops as, "Medicinal and culinary herbs and small fruits—'functional foods'—plants and foods that have such exceptional nutritional value that consumers include them in their diet for specific health reasons, such as garlic for the reduction or prevention of arterial plaque buildup."
As Ellen works on her additional outdoor crop ideas, the wheatgrass operation is getting closer to coming full circle in its operation. "Outside," she explains, "I had a large cedar-fenced garden area installed, which is where I currently take the wheatgrass mats (what remains after the wheatgrass is cut) for composting. Half of the garden is used for planting, half for composting. The intent is to recycle the composted matter for future wheatgrass crops, though currently it is only being used to build up the soil in this large fenced garden area. The wheatgrass mats compost down to perfection."
Ellen admits that only about half of the two acres she farms and lives on are actually dedicated to the garden and mini-farm operation. And about ¾ of that land is a steep hillside where high winds and other natural challenges have made indoor farming her favorite segment of farming so far. "After consultation with professionals at Cornell's Cooperative Extension, it seems the only method of weed eradication is years of constant cutting until the weeds get worn out," she says. "Being a steep hillside, I'm the one who's getting worn out."
As mentioned, Ellen once operated the wheatgrass business full time, but cut back to have more time available for her daughter's school schedule. But that school just may prove to be a direction for expanding her business. "I have also been using the time to explore new, less physically demanding aspects of the business such as herbal workshops," she says. "I am currently putting together a children's Christmas herbal workshop for my daughter's first-grade class in early December. I am fortunate that my daughter's school allows me to both educate and entertain the kids this way. It's a great way for me to volunteer with the school and participate in my child's education while honing and exploring other potential business avenues for my craft."
There have been challenges for Ellen. She stated that pest problems may be appearing on some of her new outdoor garden projects, and she works closely with local experts on maintaining eco-friendly standards, avoiding the fast-but-toxic way out. But she seems to be on a successful small farming journey that's taking her just where she needs to go.
"There have been many happy, satisfying moments about this business," Ellen says. "I have worn many hats in my lifetime--held many jobs and have done them well--but in today's fast-paced world, often people don't stop to say 'thanks.' In this business, the gratefulness and the thanks are heard loud and clear and often.
"Fresh wheatgrass is a hard-to-find product and finding it doesn't always guarantee its quality, so people are quite appreciative with what I'm doing. Keeping the business small and personal, I think, is how I'm able to maintain product quality. Whenever people tell me how well they or a loved one are feeling or how beautiful their greens arrived in shipment, that's always a happy moment for me. It's the 'thanks' that really fuel this business."
Update: Since this writing, Ellen has added raw artisanal honey and honeybee supplies to her microfarming business.
*Editor's note: For those asking, "Where can I buy wheatgrass seed?" -- there are several sources depending on if you're experimenting with a little at first or want a large quantity in bulk. The type of wheat seeds (usually called wheat "berries" instead of wheat seeds) you need are hard red winter wheat. Large quantities can be found in some farm and feed stores, some of which offer organic. You may find large bins full of oats, buckwheat, etc. in these stores where you scoop the desired amount into provided paper sacks to be weighed and paid for. Just be sure you get the right kind of wheat for wheatgrass, because these stores sell other types of seed for wheat such as soft red, hard white, and soft white. Also in these stores, you may find prepackaged bags of organic wheatgrass seed in the poultry section for farmers who buy it to sprout to feed their chickens. For smaller amounts, some health food stores and food co-ops have a sprouting section where they sell various types of sprouting seeds such as alfalfa and mung beans, possibly including the hard red winter wheat for wheatgrass. And finally, there are online stores that specialize in selling wheatgrass seeds (berries) to wheatgrass growers. Since it's popular to add various chemicals to crop seeds, be sure you find organic wheat seed that's organic or at least quranteed free of all chemicals.

Passengers (image by Columbia Pictures)
Passengers – January 1
Rated M for mature themes
In this adventure film with sci-fi and romance, thousands of colonists begin a 120-year journey to a distant planet. The crew are placed in hibernation to survive the journey, but one engineer (Chris Pratt – Jurassic World, Guardians of the Galaxy, Moneyball, Parks and Recreation) wakes early. Tired of talking to himself, he wakes an attractive crewmate (Jennifer Lawrence - Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, Hunger Games, X-Men) and love soon blossoms. With 90 years until their arrival, their romance is tested as surviving to reach their new homeworld becomes a priority. As you recover from New Year celebrations, don't focus too closely on the plot, rescued by Jennifer and Chris' on-screen chemistry. Passengers also stars Michael Sheen (The Queen, Frost/Nixon, Midnight in Paris, Masters of Sex) as a robot, Laurence Fishburne (Apocalypse Now, Batman v Superman, The Matrix, Boyz in the Hood, CSI) and Andy Garcia (Oceans 11, Godfather 3, The Untouchables, Black Rain, When a Man Loves a Woman).
Lion (image by The Weinstein Company)
Lion – January 19
Rated PG for mild themes
Lion, based on Saroo Brierley's biopic, A Long Way Home, is an inspiring true story beginning in Calcutta, India where a 5-year-old boy, Saroo, played by Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire, The Man Who Knew Infinity, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, The Last Airbender), becomes lost in the chaotic streets and railways of the city. Rescued by an Australian couple, he's adopted and raised in Australia. As he turns 30, his search for his biological parents using Google Earth succeeds and he travels back to India to find them. The film also stars Nicole Kidman (Moulin Rouge!, Australia, The Hours, The Interpreter, Bangkok Hilton), David Wenham (300, Lord of the Rings, Australia, Seachange) and Rooney Mara (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Her, The Social Network).
Jackie (image by Fox Searchlight Pictures)
Jackie – January 12
Classification rating pending
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis', the compelling First Lady to the assassinated President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, story is portrayed in this bio-drama. After the dramatic death of her husband in 1963, she withdrew from public life but her challenges to raise her children and enshrine their legacy is revealed in Jackie, starring Natalie Portman (Black Swan, Star Wars, Closer, Leon, Thor, V for Vendetta, New York, I Love You) in the title role. This premiere has generated much more positive buzz than other recently panned biopics of other modern-day princesses, Grace of Monaco and Diana. Jackie also stars Peter Sarsgaard (Blue Jasmine, Experimenter, Kinsey, Garden State, Night Moves, Jarhead), John Hurt (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Harry Potter, Alien, The Elephant Man, Nineteen Eighty-Four) and Greta Gerwig (To Rome with Love, Mistress America, Maggie's Plan, Greenberg).
Ballerina (image by Entertainment One)
Ballerina – January 12
This 3D-animated adventure opens in 19th century France with Félicie (Elle Fanning – Maleficent, Super 8, We Bought a Zoo), a young orphan, journeying to with Victor (Dane DeHaan – The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Lincoln, The Place Beyond the Pines, Life) to Paris to fulfil her dream to become a ballerina. In the bustling Parisian streets, Victor is diverted into the famous Gustave Eiffel's workshop (the real-life engineer and creator of the Eiffel Tower), as Félicie enters the high-pressure dance school in the Paris Opera. Tested by the intense choreographer, she's aided by a cryptic undertaker (Carly Rae Jepsen - Canadian Idol, Curiosity, Kiss, Grease: Live) and Victor's gadgets to star on stage. Ballerina also features the voice-acting talents of Terrence Scammell (Tripping the Rift, Rotten Ralph) and Maddie Ziegler (So You Think You Can Dance, Dance Moms).
A Man Called Ove (image by Nordisk Film)
A Man Called Ove – January 19
Rated M for violence and coarse language
Sweden, famous for Nordic-noir, with Stieg Larsson, Henning Mankel writing gritty, dark, socially critical crime mysteries, also has a sense of humour. Based on blogger Fredrik Backman's hilarious New York Times bestselling novel which spread throughout Australia in 2013, A Man Called Ove follows the daring nursing home escape of Ove (Rolf Holger Lassgård - Kurt Wallander), a grumpy retiree. As he reflects upon his recently deceased wife and their enduring marriage, his cantankerous habits and officious comments put him at odds with his neighbours until a new family arrives. A series of suburban adventures begins as does a poignant friendship. This Swedish-language film also stars Bahar Pars, Filip Berg, Ida Engvoll and Chatarina Larsson.

Feeling stressed? Here's how to release the stress. It's a 4-minute nervous system reset. It restores the acid/alkaline balance in the blood.
Stand up. Shake your arms. Relax. Feel your feet.
I just did it. I feel great. Amazingly, I did more pushups than I've done in years. And they were done without any air in my lungs! Apparently the 30 deep breaths super-oxygenated my cells and it was that which powered me through the pushups. Awesome.
That is called a tree.
When you say "that is" you confuse the word with the reality, which is infinitely deeper.
Don't let the child slip away at an early age into the conceptual realm, believing exclusively in words.
There comes a time when a child demands to be fed words and concepts: What's that? At that stage they want concepts, words.
What's that? asks the child.
That's a tree responds the adult.
If you say "that is" the child will confuse the word with the reality, which is infinitely deeper.
By saying "that is" the child loses touch with the actual, direct experience of reality. And as the child accumulates words, the child begins to believe that when he/she says "this is a tree" that's all there is to know about the tree. Later, the child might take a biology class and get a few more names to attach to the tree, or the names of different trees. Immediately, the depth of the tree recedes and is replaced by a relatively dead thought form, "tree." That's how language deadens aliveness. When you teach a child language, the child should stay in touch with the actual thing. So you should say "It is called" not "It is" and encourage the child to continue to look, to touch, to listen. Look there, touch, listen. Then everything isn't obscured with words. Stay with the reality. Some of the direct experience remains with the child.
For most of us adults, we have been deadened by words. It is only later in life, after much shaking up that we break out of this and we start living again.
Whenever you teach the child, help him/her to realize there is more beyond the words. There is reality beyond the words.
You are not John. John is the name we have given you. You are not your name. It's just a name.
Before free-divers do a dive they spend time doing deep breathing and quick breathing. The purpose of this breathing is to maximize the amount of oxygen in the cells. The extra oxygen in their system enables them to dive deeper and longer.
In Scott Carney's new book, he says that ordinarily he can do 20 pushups. While researching his book he attended a workshop where he and the other workshop participants did deep and quick breathing for an hour. At the end of the hour the participants were instructed to do pushups. Carney did 40 pushups – while holding his breath!
Today I figured that I would give this a try. I went for a one hour walk. During the walk I did a lot of deep breathing. After the walk I worked out. My personal best went from 2 reps to 5 reps!
Interesting note in Carney's book: Controlled hyperventilation will increase oxygen saturation in the blood to 100%, but more significantly, it also expels CO2 which your body uses to gauge when to gasp.
For at least half a century the conventional wisdom about maintaining good physical health has rested on the twin pillars of diet and exercise. While those are no doubt vital, there's an equally important, but completely ignored, third pillar – environmental training.
Once you arrive at high altitude, your body automatically produces more red blood cells to compensate for lower oxygen saturation. Move to an oppressively hot environment and your body will sweat out fewer salts over time and produce lower volumes of urine. Heat will also stimulate your cardiovascular system to become more efficient and increase evaporation and cooling. Yet no environmental extreme induces as many changes in human physiology as the cold does.
A plunge into ice-cold water not only triggers a number of processes to warm the body, but also tweaks insulin production, tightens the circulatory system, and heightens mental awareness. A person actually has to get uncomfortable and experience that frigid cold if they want to initiate those systems.
Despite all of our technology, our bodies are just not ready for a world so completely tamed by our desire for comfort. Without stimulation, the responses that were designed to fight environmental challenges don't always lie dormant. Sometimes they turn inward and wreak havoc on our insides. An entire field of medical research on autoimmune diseases suggests they originate from fundamental disconnect between the outside world and an under stimulated biology.
Thoughts are just things. They should be looked at and examined.
You are not your thoughts. Thoughts are merely things generated by the mind.
When I was a child I was told to walk up stairs on the balls of my feet.
As a consequence of that guidance my calf muscles have, over the years, shortened. Shortened calf muscles have caused all sorts of problems: difficult to stand erectly, difficult to squat properly, limited flexibility, and others.
So, what is the right way to walk up a flight of stairs? Answer: walk flat-footed. On each step your foot should be flat on the step.
Last November I decided to drink more water. Experts say that you should drink between half an ounce and an ounce of water for each pound you weigh, every day. So for me, I should drink between 8 – 16 cups of water each day. 16 cups = 1 gallon. So I decided to shoot for drinking 16 cups (1 gallon) of water each day. The chart below shows my progress. The worst day was 7 cups, the best day was 14 cups. I learned early on that it's much easier to consume warm water than cold water, so I warm up each cup that I drink. Lately I have been putting 1 tsp. of baking soda into a cup of water (once or twice daily). I read that that is supposed to be beneficial, although I don't know how. I still haven't reached my goal of 16 cups, but I am happy with the progress that I've made.

7) Why is Amazon Canada not selling Dr. Judy Wood's book, Where Did the Towers Go?
8) Why the inflammatory, unscientific rhetoric in this 9/11 Truth article?
Despite China's Constitution only requiring compensation for the taking of private property, as opposed to "just compensation," as the U.S. Constitution requires — or no mention whatsoever of any compensation for the taking of private property, as is the case with the Canadian Constitution — laws have since been passed in China prohibiting the taking of private property with force, without just cause, such as participation in criminal activities.
Previously, I wrote the article, Canadians recognize the importance of private property rights, about online readers of Canada's largest newspaper, the Toronto Star, recognizing the importance of private property rights. Despite the Canadian Constitution providing no explicit protection for the taking of private property, as one commenter noted, the practice is often more relevant, as noted by this Chinese example, as well.
As for Lew Rockwell's claim of "Another Way that China is Freer Than the US," China is a very economically oppressive country, as illustrated by only being the 138th most economically free country out of 179 according to the conservative Heritage Foundation's 2012 Index of Economic Freedom.
One way that China isn't as economically free as the U.S. is the requirement to get permission from the central government in order to secure a job in a new city, as I witnessed personally with a company I was working for when they were going through the bureaucratic red tape to hire someone in their Chinese office.
Just as it isn't the homeowner's right to have water and electricity, it also isn't the government's or developer's right to take away his private property, and the picture of this man's home is one of the best sights of freedom I've seen this year.
5) If flu shots are so good, why do most Toronto health professionals not have them?
City of Windsor, Ontario councilors have discovered that private property = better care.
""The alleys are in bad shape and they're just going to get worse because we don't have the money to fix them," Payne said.
Payne thought that it would be better for the city to just divest itself of the alleyways and asked for a report on the feasibility of selling them for a nominal fee to homeowners whose property is next to them.
As the investigation into the July 20, 2012 Colorado movie theatre shooting progresses, there remains a missing piece, and that is the discussion of private property rights.
While the political debate has been framed as more gun control versus less gun control, I see the real debate as private property rights versus no private property rights.
While more government-mandated gun control is palatable to many, an overt limitation of private property rights is less palatable, in the absence of fear-mongering.
The mass media –our self-appointed opinion leaders — frame the debate as more gun control versus the fear of another mass shooting, but for me, the debate is over private property rights versus no private property rights.
It should be evident that more gun control laws can't stop all mass shootings. The solution, to me, is to protect the private property rights of business owners, and let them be responsible for their own security, and let their patrons assume full personal responsibility for their decision to patronize the business, barring negligence and malice.
If the business is negligent, there is the civil remedy of suing it for negligence, and if there is malice, there is also a possible criminal remedy.
Nearly everyone claims that they don't want to be enslaved, but government security goons at movie theatres, and government laws barring all guns in private businesses, would serve that purpose.
Instead of enacting laws that grab guns from mostly law-abiding citizens, why not allow private property owners to provide for their own security, as they best see fit?
In a mass market like the United States, and especially in big cities, there would be the opportunity for some cinemas to offer more security, including full pat-downs, which are completely constitutional. I have no problem with private businesses choosing to mandate full pat-downs, since it's up to individuals whether they choose to patronize that business.
For me, I'd prefer to take the risk, which is comparable to winning a lottery jackpot, of being a potential victim of a mass shooting, and not patronize a movie theatre with full pat-downs, but for others, they may not want to take that minuscule risk. If there was truly enough of a demand for such security, individuals would choose their theatre and other venues appropriately, despite what some cynical power-hungry freedom-grabbers in government may claim they want.


The content of the book centers around the An Quang Buddhist sect's rebellion, led by Venerable Thich Tri Quang in collaboration witht the undercover communist organizations in Thua Thien Province and Hue City. At the same time, Venerable Thich Tri Quang also proselytized Infantry Division I, of I Corps - of which the commander was General Nguyen Chanh Thi - to join the movement. The monk's purpose was to occupy the six provinces of Central Vietnam and convert them into an autonomous zone.
On the eve of the 1968 Tet Offensive, Hanoi herded 10,000 troops to launch a ferocious attack on and occupy Hue for 22 days. During these 22 days, they - in collaboration with their local undercover cells - had killed 5,275 innocent people and taken away another 1,200. The RVN Army in coordination with a division of US Marines had to tenaciously struggle for 22 days straight to recapture the City of Hue.
Venerable Thich Tri Quang: An Idol or a Criminal?
A truthful revelation about Venerable Thich Tri Quang, a person whom American media at times proclaimed to have shakened up the United States of America.
This was a war that after 1975 Hanoi proclaimed to have won. Reality, however, revealed that the winner was the intelligence organizations of the First and Second Republics of Vietnam in collaboration and coordination with the CIA of the United States of America.

New Labour's plans to privatise council housing suffered a series of major setbacks in the run-up to Christmas. Defend Council Housing (DCH) campaigns run by council tenants and trade unionists fought off attempts to privatise housing in the east London borough of Tower Hamlets, Waverley in Surrey and Edinburgh.
Tenants in these three areas voted against transferring their houses to the private sector, despite councils offering bribes worth billions of pounds and pumping money into slick propaganda campaigns.
Edinburgh council spent over £5 million of taxpayers' money attempting to convince tenants to back the sell-off. Tenants were told that £2 billion would have been made available to the housing association had the transfer gone ahead.
But, in one of the biggest council housing ballots to take place, involving 23,000 homes, 53 percent voted "no" to transfer.
Willie Black from Edinburgh was involved in the campaign. He said, "This was a real David against Goliath situation. Local people with nothing were pitted against the money and the propaganda from the council.
"Groups were set up by tenants in the summer, with people holding meetings, running stalls and petitioning — anything to get people talking through the issues.
"I think it helped that the council was already pretty unpopular. This was an incredible victory, which shows what ordinary tenants can achieve.
In the same week Tower Hamlets tenants voted against transfer in five out of seven separate ballots held across the borough. The vote on the Ocean estate, originally due to take place in November 2005 has now been postponed until this summer.
Local tenants argue that it has been postponed because the mood on the estate is against transfer. They say that the council should have run the ballot at the same time as the others or cancel it altogether.
The local Tenants Against Transfer group is demanding the council provide funding for repairs and improvements on estates, and back the campaign for direct investment in council housing as an alternative to stock transfer or other privatisation options.
In Sefton, Merseyside, where council tenants had voted against transfer in September, the council disgracefully reballoted tenants. In the rerun ballot, which saw turnout fall from 70 percent to 55 percent, tenants voted in favour of transfer.
The DCH campaign has won some significant victories over the past few years. However, winning local ballots is only a start. Events in Sefton show that councils will try to rerun ballots that go against transfer.
These policies are being driven nationally by New Labour as part of their neo-liberal project of driving the free market into every aspect of our lives. Defeating them will require a national response.
DCH has organised a lobby of parliament for 8 February to draw together campaigners from around the country. Major trade unions have agreed to organise coaches for the lobby.
The lobby will be an important step forward in the campaign to force the government to give tenants a "fourth option" for housing — new investment in council housing — rather than the three versions of privatisation currently on offer.

Q: How to find the roots of the second derivative of $ f(x)=x^2(x − 3)^3$? I am horrid at factoring and I have to find the inflection points of $ f(x)=x^2(x − 3)^3$. So I to find the inflection points I need to set $f'$ equal to $0$ So I have   $f'(x)=2x(x-3)^3+x^2\cdot3(x-3)^2$ and after some simplifying I ended with $5x^4-36x^3+81x^2-54x$ But I do not know go to go from there. I know one zero is $\frac{6}{5}$ but I do not know how to reach that. A step by step factorization would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: Where the function is increasing and decreasing. Inflection points are later.

A: $2x(x-3)^3 + 3x^2(x-3)^2 = x(x-3)^2[2(x-3)+3x] = x(x-3)^2(5x-6)$

Herald reporters on trips with President Mugabe receive $1,000 per day allowance
Added by Alexa Chicheko on May 30, 2017.

http://www.africametro.com/news/herald-reporters-on-trips-with-president-mugabe-receive-1000-per-day-allowance">
Despite his advancing years and increasing frailty, 93-year-old Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe shows few signs of losing his love for foreign travel, a predilection that is costing his cash-strapped country dear.
Having racked up 200,000 air miles since the start of 2016 and outspent the parliamentary budget on trips abroad, Mugabe jetted off to the Mexican resort of Cancun this week for a "Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction" conference with a three dozen-strong delegation in tow.
Back home the trip raised eyebrows, with opposition wags wondering whether Mugabe, who presided over economic collapse and multi-billion percent inflation a decade ago, was there to talk about causing disasters rather than preventing them.
The length of the trip was another bone of contention in a country where banks seldom allow withdrawals of more than $50 a day and the government frequently pays state wages late.
Mugabe left on May 19 on a private charter flight – his normal Air Zimbabwe plane is grounded – with an entourage of at least 35 officials, including cabinet ministers, bodyguards and reporters from state TV and the official newspaper, the Herald.
He is expected back on Friday – a seven-day trip for the three-day U.N. conference, also attended by leaders from the likes of Albania, Dominica, Swaziland and Kiribati.
During that time, Herald staffers will receive a daily allowance of $1,000 and other officials up to $1,500 depending on their rank, according to a government official who helped organise the trip.
By contrast, the average state employee in Zimbabwe is paid $500 a month.
To make the most of their overseas jaunts, many officials have been known to check in to cheap hotels far from conference venues to save up for property, cars or school fees back home.
"We have a bureaucracy that is getting extortionate per diems from the travels. It is a parasitic mindset," Tendai Biti, a former finance minister and opposition leader, told Reuters.
"When you look at the latest trip it shows a president who makes unstrategic trips to unstrategic countries."
Last year Mugabe made at least 20 trips abroad, spending $36 million in the first 10 months, up from $33 million the previous year, according to Ministry of Finance figures.
Meanwhile parliament, which has more than 300 members, made do with a budget of $30 million for the entire year.
Despite growing concerns about his health – the government denies he falls asleep in public, saying he is merely resting his eyes – there has been no let-up this year, with eight overseas trips, including two to Singapore for medical checks.
Mugabe spokesman George Charamba could not be reached on Friday but in comments in the Herald on March 5 he said Mugabe's globetrotting zeal proved he was strong enough to remain in office, and denied any waste of taxpayers' money.
"Diplomacy does not come cheap," Charamba said.
In Cancun, Mugabe attended the opening ceremony, a group photo and a closed-door meeting of leaders. He was the first to leave the session.
A security guard said the Zimbabwean delegation was not staying at the five star Moon Palace hotel complex hosting the conference.
Western sanctions imposed in reaction to widespread allegations of security forces using violence to crush political dissent mean Mugabe is barred from visiting the United States and European Union.
However, he has been able to exploit the diplomatic cover granted to the annual United Nations General Assembly to make regular visits to New York.
At the 2013 inauguration of Pope Francis, he flew to Rome but was met on the airport tarmac by an embassy limousine and whisked off to the Vatican, meaning he technically did not set foot on Italian soil.

News Related to FIA Karting
OK-N OPENS UP TO A WIDER PUBLIC
During the awards ceremony for the 2022 FIA season, the President of the FIA Karting Commission Akbar Ebrahim reminded us that karting is an essential step for drivers wishing to gain experience at an early age with the ambition of developing later in motor sport, as well as being a discipline in its own right that is widely practised by many drivers throughout the world.
The spirit of openness towards greater diversity that currently guides the FIA is also found in karting, in particular through the launch of the OK-N and OKN-Junior aimed at making this discipline...
Sguerzoni (Intrepid): top-level karting needs credibility
Mirko Sguerzoni needs no introduction: founder of Intrepid, chassis manufacturer and talent scout of many drivers who have landed in Formula 1 and professional motorsport in general, he talked to us about how high-level karting should be rethought from the ground up. The starting point in a concept that generates discussions even in the topmost board rooms: budget cap and a clear distinction between titled and non-titled races. (f.m.)
What do you think is the state of health of karting today, 2023? «Let's start in order: the health status of karting is the health status of competition, primarily. I personally think that...
Highlights 2022 – The FIA presents OK-N with many expectations
For at least 25 years karting has been missing a promotional category. The absence of the Federations was compensated for for a long time, with good results, by the mono-brand trophies. Will the FIA be able to fill such a long gap?
They finally got there. 2022 was the year in which the FIA, in a concrete way, got its hand on the "hot potato" of the promotional categories. They put an engine at the center of the...
Highlights 2022 – CRG and Galiffa on top of the World
The most successful manufacturer in KZ returns to win a World Championship in the most blatant way, imposing itself in the two categories and against the odds. The technical partner of a historic feat is the Italian tuner Galiffa, who has taken up the challenge and worked hard to reach a peak that is difficult to beat.
Remembering just the World Championships of the new millennium, from 2007 to 2011 CRG had pocketed the deadly sequence of Jonathan Thonon, winner of no less than 4 "World Cups" (so called...
Highlights 2022 - Tom Leuillet: a title full of meaning
An European Championship on just two rounds is something arguable, but at the moment it is the method by which the FIA assigns titles and two out of two rounds are not won by chance. But the Frenchman's success is also special for another reason...
A long-experienced driver (born in 1999), after several years in the shifter categories, Leuillet added his name to the golden register of the continental title by dominating the opening race in Genk...
Highlights 2022 - Severiukhin in Portimao, much ado about nothing
Karting once again in the spotlight, but not for the right reasons. The russian young drivers's gesture made many talk, but nothing good came out of the useless debate: to understand something more about these guys and how this sport needs a change of course.
With a FIA season less and less easy to make the most of in the midst of a calendar crammed with non-titled races that move teams all over Italy (and Europe, with the COTF "FIA pre-races")...

OKN-JUNIOR COMPLETES THE OKN CONCEPT
It has been talked about since the beginning of the OK-N project, and the OKN-Junior is now a reality. Full-scale tests have enabled the CIK-FIA to validate the definition of the OKN-Junior engine to extend the OKN's field of action to younger drivers as easily as possible, with a simple exhaust flange. A single engine unit can therefore power drivers in both categories of the most accessible competition offered by the CIK-FIA for national markets.
Two engines in one A simple and economical solution has been chosen for the Junior version of the OK-N. A 26 mm flange on the exhaust differentiates the OKN-Junior from the senior OK-N. The engine...
OK-N and OKJ-N: Common Sense Wins
The latest test held in Cremona for the newly formed OK-N and OKJ-N showed an excellent level of performance for the two categories destined to revitalize single-gear categories at the regional and national levels.
On September 27, 2002, the OK National was officially born, divided into the two OK-N and OK-N Junior categories. Hopes are high that they can truly relaunch the single-gear classes. The test was...

In UFOlogy, conspiracy theory, science fiction, and comic book stories, claims or stories have circulated linking UFOs to Nazi Germany. The German UFO theories describe supposedly successful attempts to develop advanced aircraft or spacecraft prior to and during World War II, and further assert the post-war survival of these craft in secret underground bases in Antarctica, South America, or the United States, along with their creators. According to the limited available information on the UFOs, various potential code-names or sub-classifications of Nazi UFO craft such as Rundflugzeug, Feuerball, Diskus, Haunebu, Hauneburg-Gerät, V7, Vril, Kugelblitz (not related to the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun of the same name), Andromeda-Gerät, Flugkreisel, Kugelwaffe, and Reichsflugscheibe have all been referenced.


Rev Lee Canfield, 67, is pastor of Cornerstone Church in Bromley Cross, Bolton, and is the oldest contestant in this year's series, which starts on 24 August on BBC 1 (8pm).
"Lee started his working life as a builder but had a complete change of direction in the mid 1980s and went to study theology. He has worked in various pastoral ministries for the past 30 years.
"Lee started baking in 1984 when he injured his back playing cricket with his young son. He had to take time off work and found that baking was a welcome way to fill his days, and he hasn't stopped since.
"Father of two and with four young grandchildren, he was very proud when his grandson took a photo of a cake he'd made to send to his girlfriend.
Lee will join 11 other amateur bakers, under the eagle eyes of judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, in competing to take home the coveted prize currently held by Nadia Hussain.
