Elegant Themes have been in operation for eight years, and have served over 500,000 customers to date. In the process, they've grown to a workforce of more than 50 workers working in several countries — a far cry from their humble beginnings working from creator Nick Roach's college apartment.Elegant Themes now offer 87 WordPress topics and five plugins. Access to all their themes (for example their flagship'Divi' motif — more about this below) and plugins will probably set you back $89 a year, making them very competitively priced. If you are planning on using their products for several decades, though, it is actually their slightly pricier'Lifetime Accessibility' plan that's the very best value option, providing you with access to all existing and future products for a one-time fee of $249. However, is Elegant Themes the ideal choice for your job? Let's find out.
Let us begin with a look at the several topics available, before moving on to this plugins.As mentioned, signing up for Elegant Themes provides you access to 87 WordPress topics for the price of everything you can pay for just one motif elsewhere. However, there are really only two options to consider. Since the arrival of Divi at 2013, the attention of Elegant Themes has been around making this the only best WordPress theme available. Extra followed soon after, and together they've become the highlights of this Elegant Themes portfolio.
While Divi, and, to a lesser extent, Extra, are multipurpose themes which can be used to create any type of site, the other topics are somewhat more focused on a particular type of project. |} It is possible you may find a motif from the Elegant Themes back catalog that's right for your website. However, if you truly need to benefit from everything Elegant Themes must offer and has been working on for the past couple of years, you should only consider the Divi and Extra themes out of their collection.While signing up using Elegant Themes gets you access to Divi, one of the best WordPress topics around, along with the remarkable Extra magazine motif, do not get too excited about another 85 alternatives. However, as we will see in the next section of this Elegant Themes review, you will find more reasons to select this business than simply their flagship WordPress topics.
As mentioned before in this review, the team supporting Divi and Extra also have generated quite a few high-quality WordPress plugins. By joining Elegant Themes on either the mid-level $89 Developer plan or the top tier $249 Lifetime Access program, you get access to all of these plugins.

With this kind of a sizable userbase, it's no surprise that a large ecosystem and community has built up around Elegant Themes and its goods. There are now a range of active Facebook groups, marketplaces selling kid themes, and blogs dedicated to Divi. The Elegant Themes site is among the busiest WordPress websites.
Some years ago, Elegant Themes had a small reputation for delivering less-than-stellar support to their clients. After checking into this and being a happy customer for a while now, I'm pleased to report that Elegant Themes appear to have resolved any problems that there might have been.Their flagship products are regularly upgraded and improved, and the online documentation for their plugins and themes is extensive, including walkthrough videos and text. Those with an active Elegant Topics account can open a support ticket by posting a question in the support forums.In addition to a General Questions sub-forum, each Elegant Themes merchandise has its own busy sub-forum. The Elegant Themes support forums are staffed by a group of tech support representatives, who, in my experience, respond to questions quickly and helpfully.


After a brief hiatus from GTD and Omnifocus, I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I enjoyed using the system at first but there were some areas that were working directly against me in terms of generating anxiety.
I found the system and software to be extremely useful with the more concrete elements of my day to day life, stuff that had immediate actionable tasks I could carry out or even put off until a certain date. However, I wasn't as good at handling some of the more high-level, vague goal type projects or tasks that I had come up with in my brain dump. I found that I had a lot of high level goals that I wanted to accomplish, things like becoming a better Game Designer , Learning the Guitar, Reading more books, Becoming a better Photographer, etc, but somewhat unsure how to handle grouping these projects or even if these were the best way to group the projects themselves. Furthermore, when I'd look at my projects list I'd see this giant pile of things that I wanted to do but weren't really getting done...and anxiety would ensue, eventually turning into something that made made just want to stop checking in on the system itself.
So I guess I'm curious how some of you have handled grouping your bigger projects into things you can actually work with and how you mentally combat anxiety and negative thoughts associated with seeing a giant list of stuff that isn't getting done.
I've recently taken a dedicated period of time to "reboot the machine" with a focused review of my Kanban + OF (+ Curio) GTD methods. I have now a greater sense of oversight (seeing the big picture) with a result in a decreased sense of being overwhelmed. It is worth the effort!
I absolutely only set due dates for when something must be done according to someone else's time schedule. I always set "defer" (or start) dates on something that I cannot do or do not want to do until that later time. I have a lot more projects on hold than I every had in the past. This has cleared out a lot of otherwise distracting tasks from my action lists.
If a task is equal to a fire that does or might require the equal to a 911 call, that task must have a Due Date not a flag. I flag tasks as ticklers, not as "this task must be done as URGENT and IMPORTANT". This changed has helped lower my stress when I review my (sometimes long) list of flagged tasks.
I use one-line tasks that say the equivalent of "start this next action group" in a sequential project just before an action group that contains a bunch of tasks. This collapses the many tasks as one until I am really ready to start them. My action lists are far shorter, resulting in less sense of being overwhelmed.
I try best to work through Due (Forecast) to Active (Flagged) or Waiting For (custom perspective) to Next (a custom perspective) tasks in that order when doing my work.
Thanks DrJJWMac, I think there are some very helpful bits here regarding the approach of breaking things down into smaller tasks. I guess that's really the part I'm struggling with when it comes to my organization. I have a giant list of things i'd "LIKE" to do but unsure of the best way to break them down and track them in the OF system and also, determining which I should be focusing on at any given time. I'd love to hear some examples for how any of you might incorporate and manage some of your goals in OF. I'm also curious how many of you use OF to track things that are more Hobbyist stuff versus more work or enrichment stuff. For example I have a list of games I'd like to play in my freetime. Part of me wonders if I'm maybe overdoing it by putting this list into OF or if I should just sort of leave it out and whenever I have free time that I'd like to use to sit down and do something for fun, just do whatever I want.
I also take a similar approach to Due Dates, leaving them out unless they are things that absolutely must be done by a certain time (paying bills for example). I don't really utilize the flag system at all really...not sure if there's a proper or interesting way to incorporate this into my system or not.
Different people are successful with different approaches to this, but I do track hobbyist things. For organization, I have top-level folders for Work, Home, and Hobbies. Each of those then has a collection of folders and single-action lists for more specific areas. For instance for games, I have a folder with a single-action list for "Games in Progress", with each entry being a title (and I try to keep this one short), and a second single-action list for "Games to Play" which is set to On Hold so I never see it unless I go looking for it, and that has a list of titles I own and would like to play someday. Rarely, a long, complicated game might get its own project, if there are specific in-game tasks that I want to remember.
But the exact structure varies depending on the hobby, and how much prompting it needs. For books, I have another single action list, and when I start a book, it gets an entry along the lines of "Read a chapter of XYZ", with no due date and set to repeat with "Start again after 5 days", or whatever interval is appropriate. If I actually do spend some time on it, that means it disappears off the list of things I needed to be reminded about for a while. For crafting hobbies, I tend to have a folder with individual projects that list at least a high-level outline of the main steps.
The other key component is that I use custom views a lot, and the hobby stuff is almost always hidden through use of Focus, or selecting certain contexts, etc. I don't see these items until I hit my Free Time perspective - usually in the evening once I've decided I've gotten enough work/responsible things done for the day. And I'm pretty ruthless about putting hobby projects on hold, more so than for anything with responsibility to other people. I try to have just a few active things in each hobby category, so that if I know what type of activity I want to do, it's a pretty simple choice. (E.g. I want to read? Here are two books I'm reading. Don't waste time staring at the shelves.) It might be overkill, but as long it's not cluttering your thoughts when you need to concentrate on more important tasks, I don't think it's a problem. I find it helpful because I have a lot of hobbies, and some of them can sit for a long time before I get back to them.
Thanks so much for the input here! It seems we have similar setups for our hobbies and how we track them. I use a single action list for "Games to Play" that seems to be getting out of hand quickly as I fall behind on the games I'm finishing versus those that are coming out. I like the concept of the Games in Progress list though. Admittedly, i'm concerned this would get out of hand fast since I have a bad habit of starting many games but not finishing them.
I also like the suggestion for how you handle perspectives and views. I think this is one of the humps I have to get over. I'm currently looking at everything from a project view but it's really intimidating and not using the system the way it was meant to be used.

The Town of Prescott Valley was required by state law to update the General Plan based on new legislation known as growing smarter. This act required that cities and towns adopt an update general plan, which includes adding elements not previously required by state law.
The Prescott Valley General Plan 2025 can best be described as the communities' blueprint for future development. It represents the communities' vision for the future; it is a constitution comprised of goals and policies used by the Communities Planning Commission and Town Council to make land use and development-related decisions. The general plan and the goals, policies and diagrams within the plan have a long-term outlook, identifying the types of development patterns allowed and the spatial relationships of land uses. The Prescott Valley General Plan 2025 was adopted by the Town Council on August 9, 2012 and ratified by the voting public on March 12, 2013.
As a result, the development of this Affordable Housing Strategy (PDF) is paramount to enabling the town to meet on of many goals set forth in the General Plan 2025.

Barcelona 5 - 2 Lyon
A quickfire Thierry Henry double spurred Barcelona on to a 5-2 rout of Olympique Lyon and a place in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday.
The Primera Liga leaders, who won 6-3 on aggregate, overwhelmed the French champions to take a 4-0 lead inside 43 minutes with further goals from Lionel Messi and Samuel Eto'o.
The euphoria inside a packed Nou Camp was tempered, however, when Lyon scored either side of halftime through Jean Makoun and Juninho to give themselves a ray of hope.
But their chances of progressing had all but disappeared by the time substitute Seydou Keita went clear in added time to score past Hugo Lloris and round off a superb Barca performance.
Coach Pep Guardiola said it had been one of the best of the season. "We had a little fright when they scored their second but we managed to plug the gaps," he said at a news conference.
The Catalans showed few ill-effects from a recent poor run of form and dominated the opening stages. Midfielders Xavi and Andres Iniesta orchestrated some trademark, slick passing moves and both Eto'o and Iniesta had good early chances.
Lyon had to wait for almost 20 minutes for their first scoring opportunity when Karim Benzema broke clear on the left but Ederson was unable to convert the striker's low cross.
Barca's breakthrough came in the 25th minute when Rafael Marquez chipped a pass to send Henry clear down the middle and the France international, scorer of the goal in the 1-1 draw in the first leg, finished with ease.
Xavi was the provider for Henry's second two minutes later, releasing him on the left of the penalty area to send a powerful shot inside the bottom corner.
Messi's goal on 40 minutes was typical of the Argentine international. After cutting in from the right and leaving several Lyon players in his wake he exchanged passes with Eto'o and slotted calmly past Lloris.
Henry turned provider three minutes later when he released Eto'o in the centre and the Cameroon international powered the ball into the top right corner to make it 5-1 on aggregate.
Barca were temporarily rocked back when Makoun rose to nod in Juninho's corner on 44 minutes and Benzema cleverly let Cesar Delgado's cross run on for Juninho to make it 4-2 on the night just after the break.
Juninho was shown a second yellow card in added time after having words with Brazilian compatriot Daniel Alves lying prone on the ground after a clash with Fabio Grosso and Keita's goal five minutes into stoppage time was the final action of a high-quality match.
Lyon coach Claude Puel paid tribute to Barca's ability to maintain possession and starve his side of room.
"I think you just have to praise this Barcelona team," he told a news conference. "They showed they were superior tonight in all areas and we just have to accept that."

. _______ was prepared to be slandered when the composer released a collection of madrigals in 1644. A. Barbara Strozzi B. Antonio Vivaldi C. Claudio Monteverdi D. Francesca Caccini
Weegy: D. Barbara Strozzi What little is known about Barbara Strozzi (also known as Barbara Valle) suffices to make her an extremely intriguing figure. [ Perhaps the most outstanding female composer of the seventeenth century, Strozzi studied under respected musicians and published eight collections of her music. Born in 1619 to a servant, Isabella Garzoni, Barbara Strozzi was adopted by Isabella?s master, who may also have been the father of the baby. That master, Giulio Strozzi, was a well-known Venetian intellectual who had young Barbara trained as a musician. Strozzi studied music with the singer and opera composer Francesco Cavalli. Other musicians knew of her talents as well. Nicol? Fontei dedicated two books of solo songs to her, the first when she was only sixteen years old. In 1637, her adoptive father founded an academy, the Accademia degli Unisoni (Academy of the Unisons). As the name suggests, the academy was devoted mainly to music, and Barbara seems to have been the center of attention. She not only sang at the academy meetings but also proposed topics for the other members to discuss. Strozzi never married, but she had four illegitimate children, all born in the early 1640s. Her two sons were Giulio Pietro and Massimo. Her daughters were Isabella and Laura. Their father was probably Giovanni Paolo Vidman, to whom Giulio Strozzi dedicated his opera librettos La finta pazza and La finta savia. This hypothesis is based partly on the fact that members of the Vidman family, including Giovanni Paolo, left money to the children in their wills. In addition, Giovanni Paolo Vidman?s widow paid for the Strozzi girls to enter a convent in 1656. A source dating from after Strozzi?s death says that Vidman raped Strozzi, but this may merely have been a story circulated to preserve Strozzi?s propriety. Strozzi published her first compositions in 1644. These were madrigals that set poems by her father. The remainder of her eight published ... (More)

Escape Room Story: 6 strangers receive mysterious invitations to an escape room, only this isn't a fun game. Here winning or losing is a matter of life and death and they need to work together to get out alive.
Escape Room Review: The escape room concept is relatively well known - a group of people are trapped in a room, and the only way out is to solve complex riddles and clues. This sub-genre has been seen before in the 'Saw' series, and the concept goes back even further to 1997 with the Canadian film 'Cube'. In 'Escape Room', we're introduced to a couple of the characters and see how they end up in this life-or-death situation. Along the way, we also discover how the other players fit into the deadly game. Although some of them might get on your nerves for different reasons, it's the way they've been written, with no fault of the actors, per se.
Taylor Russell plays Zoey Davis, a brilliant college student who is an introvert. Jay Ellis plays Jason Walker, a successful, and cocky chap who thinks he's better than everyone else. Deborah Ann Woll plays Amanda Harper, probably the most layered character of them all. She has a huge role to play in one of the rooms which happens to be the most nail-biting. The momentum ramps up until this room, approximately midway through the film, but takes a sharp downturn from this point on. It then becomes apparent that the intriguing reason why these strangers are forced to work together hadn't been thought through.
Director Adam Robitel tries to hard sell the tried and tested concept with a brand-new packaging, which soon wears thin. Barring a couple of surprises, whatever investment is made into the proceedings stunningly fails towards the last lap and dramatically crashes in the climax. The scriptwriters appear to be stuck in an escape room of their own making, as they write themselves into a corner with no way out. Instead, they resort to an inane and bizarre ending. Sure, there will be moviegoers who'll enjoy the thrills of 'Escape Room' for the most part. But it'll be hard for anyone to escape all the sub-genre tropes that eventually drag the film down.

I served this cake yesterday at my pop-up brunch. I am slightly obsessed with this salted caramel sauce, it is really easy to make and tastes fantastic. It works perfectly with bananas and a rich dark chocolate cake. You can make the base of this cake a couple of days in advance before you need it, just keep it in an air tight container in the fridge. It is incredibly moist, just take it out of the fridge a couple of hours before you decorate it.
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees c. and grease and line a 23 cm loose bottomed round tin.
Mix all your dry ingredients in a large bowl. Similarly mix all the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Quickly pour and mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, until you have a smooth batter. If it seems too thick add a little extra water, it should be dropping consistency.
Pour into your tin and bake in the oven for 25 – 30 mins, until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool.
Once cool, whip your plant based cream and spoon on to your cake. Decorate with sliced bananas, popcorn and salted caramel sauce.

Connie Nielsen Net Worth, Husband, Ethnicity, Height
By Sujata Limbu | On: 07 Aug, 2019
Raised in an average family, Connie Nielsen is recognized to the world as the popular, talented Danish actress today. With her jaw-dropping role, she stands out herself in the list of artists who built her empire without the support of any big stars or nepotisms.
Not only that but, the 54-years-old star also won the best actress award in late 2000 for her film Gladiator and Denish drama Brothers in 2004.
Connie grew up working in local theatres alongside her mother in Denmark. She continued this journey until she was 18, and later she moved to Paris to pursue her career in acting and modeling. Following her career and study, she further resides in Rome and Milan and later in the US.

Starting from Gladiator as her first official acting career, she later appeared in The Great Raid, Return to Sender, The Ice Harvest, Demonlover, The Hunted, Permanent Midnight and many more to count. She has made a long presence in Hollywood, yet she is equally beautiful and smart as the young Cannie.
Debuting her acting career from an English film The Devil's Advocate, Connie established herself as one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. Along with her number of increasing movies list, her net worth is also at an increasing rate. At present, a source estimated that she has a net worth of about $8 million.
Connie is the first actress to portray the character of Hippolyta in the DC film Wonder Women in 2017 and Justice League 2017. It is stated that she would be making her presence in the franchise Wonder Women 1984 in near 2020.

Dating History; Boyfriend, Married?
Concerning her romantic love, Connie has dated a handful of guys in her life whose personalities ranges from actors to Drummers including musicians. But, she never got married.
Her first boyfriend was Fabio Sartor in late 1980, who is also an actor like Connie. Together, they were blessed with a son named Sebastian on 27 November 1989. However, it is a riddle when and why did the couple split.

Later in 2003, she started dating Huey Morgan who is an American musician as well as a member of a hip hop band Fun Lovin' Criminals. But, their relationship ended as she was shortly linked with Josh Lucas in 2004. Josh is an American actor who has appeared in Glory Road, A Beautiful Mind, Poseidon, and many more.

However, the same year in July, Connie found love in Lars Ulrich, a Metallica drummer. They had quite good connections, unlike her ex-boyfriends. Together, they welcomed their bundle of joy, a baby boy named Bryce Thadeus Ulrich-Nielsen on 21 May 2007.
Unfortunately, as like her post failed relationship, Connie's relationship with Lars also couldn't survive, and they parted their way in 2012 before she could make Lars her husband. At that time, Bryce was only five years old.
Since then neither Connie has been linked to any guy nor has she spoken about her possible partner. Delving into social media, Connie is currently living a single life as a single mother to her kids Sebastian and Bryce.
Bio- Ethnicity & Measurements
Born on 3 July 1965, Connie is a Denish actress from Frederikshavn village of Denmark, who belongs to white ethnicity. She was born as Connie Inga-Lise Nielsen.
In her family, her mother is a former insurance clerk as well as a local actor, whereas her father used to work as a bus driver.
Her beautiful body structure with the measurements of 35-27-35 inches shows her weight of about 67 kgs and a height of 5' 11" tall. She turned the age of 54 in 2019.

Medicine is the study of disease and what causes man to die. Chiropractic is the study of health and what causes man to live.
Many people think that chiropractors treat mainly orthopedic type conditions, such as, backaches, sciatica, whiplash and disc problems. It is true that for these conditions one should try chiropractic first. The art of adjusting the spine has been proven beneficial to these problems since the time of Hippocrates. Other functional disorders such as those that involve organs and internal glands of the body may also respond to chiropractic adjustments. Every gland, organ, and body tissue needs an appropriate nerve supply or some form of stimulation from the nervous system to function properly. The conditions which doctors of chiropractic treat can be as varied and as vast as the nervous system itself.

USIP Report: Haiti After the Earthquake
In the aftermath of the January 12 earthquake, the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) released a report on opportunities for effective reconstruction. The report emphasizes he importance of: (1) providing training and budget support for the Haitian government; (2) rapid job creation, not just in Port au Prince, but around the country; (3) building up the capacity and credibility of the Haitian National Police and courts; (4) strengthening disaster preparedness and response; and (5) the importance of gender sensitive recovery activities. The report is attached and copied below.

Haiti's Working Better (Piti, Piti...)
Kathie Klarreich, who has been covering Haiti since 1986, recently wrote a Miami Herald article on the many small yet promising signs that Port au Prince is becoming calmer, better governed, and more stable. Challenges abound, including improving the delivery of health services and reforming the justice system, but these visible signs of progress contribute to a growing sense of optimism and a belief that things can and will continue to improve.

Haiti Food Security Update (10/11/2009)
Hard to believe that just a year and a half ago, there were food riots in Port au Prince and other Haitian cities. Since then, Haiti has become become politically stable to the point where firms involved in agriculture, textiles, infrastructure development and tourism are considering investing in Haiti. Livelihood opportunities are sorely needed given that half of Haitians live on less than two dollars a day. Still, the majority of Haitians are small farmers. Without opportunities to provide for themselves and their families, the influx of the rural poor to urban centers will only accelerate. Increasing agricultural productivity/opportunities is key to improving food security in Haiti.

Paul Farmer to Coordinate U.S. Global Health Programs?
Below is a post from "The Cable", confirming rumors that Paul Farmer is considering a position in the Obama Administration. The position is as of yet unclear. It may be USAID Administrator or a new position coordinating U.S. Global Health programs. Partners in Health has had a tremendous impact in Haiti, Latin America, Africa, and elsewhere. As a champion of health and human rights, Farmer's vision and expertise would be an asset to the Obama Administration.

Former President Clinton to be Named Special Envoy to Haiti
According to the Cable, former U.S. President Bill Clinton will be named a U.N. special envoy to Haiti this week. Clinton made his fourth trip to Haiti in March with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon. He had told the Miami Herald, "I've been following this country for more than three decades...the message I want to send is Haitians work hard and they work smart. Haiti is a good place to invest."

The April 2009 Haiti Donors Conference in Review
Delegates from 28 countries and multilateral organizations participated in the 2009 Haiti Donors Conference. Given the global economic downturn , now is a tough time to hold such an event. Donors pledged to provide $324 million in additional aid to Haiti over the next two years, of which $41 million is for budget support in 2009. Not as much as hoped for, but if the Haitian government can spend it well, this may open doors for increased support from donors later on.

Most Moisturizers Marketed as Fragrance-Free or Hypoallergenic Actually Aren't
Here's what that means for your skin, especially if you have a condition like dermatitis or eczema.
By Amanda MacMillan Updated September 06, 2017
For people with sensitive skin, finding a moisturizer that doesn't cause itching or irritation can be a real challenge. (That goes double for those with conditions like dermatitis, eczema, or psoriasis.) A good place to start is with products advertised as fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, or dermatologist-recommended.
But unfortunately, a new study in JAMA Dermatology shows that these claims often don't hold much water.
When researchers at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine evaluated the ingredients in the 100 best-selling whole-body moisturizing products sold at Target, Walmart and Amazon, they found that products with these labels often came at a higher price tag. They did not, necessarily, come without chemicals known to be irritants or potential allergens.
RELATED: The Best Skincare Products for Anti-Aging, Exfoliating, Moisturizing, and More
These inaccurate claims and higher prices make it difficult for people with sensitive skin or skin disorders to find affordable and safe moisturizers, say the study authors. These consumers may need to get specific recommendations from their own dermatologists, the study authors also say, or pay more attention to the actual ingredients in a product—and not just the advertising claims.
They study found that 45% of the products boasting a fragrance-free claim did actually have at least one chemical classified as a fragrance cross-reactor or botanical ingredient by the North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG). Even more disturbing, 83% of products labeled as hypoallergenic included a potentially allergenic chemical.
In addition, 95% of products touted as dermatologist-recommended—a phrase that's not regulated and doesn't need to be backed up with much evidence—contained at least one NACDG-listed allergen. Products that were dermatologist-recommended were also were 20 cents more expensive per ounce, on average.
"We looked into what it means to be 'dermatologist-recommended,' and it doesn't mean much," says lead author Steve Xu, MD, instructor in dermatology at Northwestern, "because it could be three dermatologists recommending it or one thousand."
Overall, only 12% of the best-selling moisturizers were free of NACDG allergens, and "the difference in price between the least and most expensive moisturizers was 9400%," says Dr. Xu.
RELATED: 7 Things Every Woman Should Know About Her Skin
Dr. Xu stresses that moisturizing is an important part of caring for sensitive skin or skin disorders, because it can reduce inflammation and discomfort, and help prevent infection. But it can be difficult for consumers to choose the best products, because manufacturers are not required to list every ingredient or disclose which ones are potentially problematic fragrances (the top cause of skin allergies) or synthetic preservatives.
Better labeling isn't necessarily the solution, Dr. Xu adds. "If manufacturers did list all the ingredients, their labels would be 75 pages," he says. Instead, he hopes his research will help dermatologists better understand the science behind best-selling moisturizers, so they can recommend products that will be affordable and effective.
"Rather than creating a set of rules for patients, we suggest to dermatologists to be as specific as possible in recommending both a brand and product type to their patients," he says. That recommendation should take price and ingredients into account, he adds, but also consumer preference.
For example, dermatologists like to prescribe ointments because their thickness and occlusiveness hydrates and protects the skin better than lotions, butters, or oils. But only 2% of the best-selling products in the study were ointments, which suggests that consumers don't like the greasy feeling and shiny residue they can leave.
"As a mixture of oil and water, creams … might offer a middle ground for patients who find ointments too greasy," the authors wrote in their paper. Ultimately, they added, American Academy of Dermatology guidelines "recommend that patients select a topical vehicle based on personal preference that they will use regularly."

Truly allergen-free products include white petroleum jelly, cold-pressed and unrefined coconut oils, Vanicream hypoallergenic products, and Aveeno Eczema Therapy moisturizing cream, say the researchers. In the study, the three most affordable products that were free of NACDG ingredients were Ivory raw unrefined shea butter, Vaseline, and Smellgood African shea butter.
The study authors say it's also important for consumers to know that products labeled "natural" or "organic" are not necessarily safer or less allergenic, the authors wrote in their paper. (In fact, a product marketed as "all natural" had the highest number of potential allergens or irritants.)
Looking for a fragrance-free label is still a good idea, says Dr. Xu, but consumers should be aware that the claim isn't necessarily completely true. "This is a bit unscientific," he says, "but if you purchase something that is 'fragrance-free' and you put it on and it smells flowery or citrusy, then it probably has a different ingredient that is acting like a fragrance."

The functions of biological macromolecules are inherently linked to their complex conformational behaviour. As a consequence of this complexity, the corresponding potential energy landscapes encompass multiple minima. Some of the intermediate structures between initial and final states can be characterized by experimental techniques. Computer simulations can explore the dynamics of individual states and bring these together to rationalize the overall process. Here, we show that the experimental structures can be exploited to define simple yet accurate atomistic structure-based potentials (SBP) that describe individual conformational states. These individual states can then be coupled by using the empirical valence bond (EVB) model. The overall energy landscape can easily be parameterised to reproduce available kinetic and thermodynamic data. We illustrate the procedure by applying the EVB-SBP method to study base flipping in B-DNA. Simple SBP is shown to reproduce structural ensembles obtained by using more refined force field simulations. Umbrella sampling in conjunction with the general energy gap reaction coordinate enables us to study alternative molecular pathways efficiently. We find that base rotation takes place via both grooves of the B-DNA with a marked preference for the major groove pathway. We also identify an unusual high-energy off-pathway intermediate that may appear if the base closing process is initiated from a syn base.


Notorious Kidnappers in Taraba have decided to hold on to Alhaji Usman Mayo, a businessman in the state, after collecting the sum of N100million as ransom for his release.
Mallam Ibrahim Takum, spokesperson of Mayo, disclosed to Daily Trust that Mayo has spent not less than 40 days in the custody of the kidnappers.
Takum said the kidnappers requested for a sum of N100m, which was paid immediately.
He, however, expressed disdain at the kidnappers for demanding another N100million before Mayo would be freed. He added that the kidnappers cut off communication when the family of Mayo was negotiating the sum and have since been unreachable.


I finally took the plunge and invested in the muji acrylic drawers that are a firm favourite with bloggers and make up addicts!
oh boy.. they're just the handiest thing ever and whats not to love about keeping everything tidy?
I've filled mine with my everyday make up; the top drawer is for my favourite essentials that I always reach for.. foundation, mac skinfinish powder, mascara, blusher and my eyebrow pencils.
I've filled the second drawer with my most used lip products and some other bits and bobs!
I wish I'd bought one of these earlier; the flip top lid makes life easy when I'm scrabbling around for my concealer in the morning!
I'm definitely going to get some more of these muji wonders for my skincare and nail products... quite possibly the best £11 I've spent this year!
have you got anything similar.. any recommendations?
I keep thinking about getting some of these drawers, I think I'm being convinced I need them every time I read a post aha. This is the first time I've seen the flip top version though, that looks so handy, I'd definitely prefer that to just the normal drawers.
That is super organized and I love how its clear so you can see exactly where everything is!! Where did you get these?
I want some of these so bad, I just refuse to buy any until I know if I'm moving house. I didn't realise they had a flip lid at the top, how handy is that!

It's really happening! Watch the Mississippi Aquarium come out of the ground
GULFPORT The Mississippi Aquarium is on schedule for a summer groundbreaking on the main building.
A website is up and running with a live construction camera so residents can watch the progress and see all the work in time lapse. Right now, W.C. Fore Trucking is building the waterfront property's elevation from 18 to 25 feet.
Director David Kimmel, an engineer, has been working on the construction budget while the University of Southern Mississippi completes a market analysis on its economic impact. Worst-case scenario, Kimmel says he's confident the aquarium will break even if only 350,000 people a year visit.
He thinks the actual results will put the tourist attraction in the black. A minimum of 418,000 visitors a year, the study projects, would bring in revenue of $8 million. Operating costs are projected at $7.7 million. The power bill alone is expected to run $650,000 a year.
"If we open up with no debt," said Kimmel, who previously directed the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, "there's no reason we wouldn't be successful …. As long as we stay above that 350,000 (visitors per year) we're not going to be a burden on anyone in terms of operating costs."
Kimmel and others have said the aquarium will be debt-free, which will help keep costs down. But the city borrowed $14.5 million to buy the property, hoping to repay the debt with aquarium revenue. The state has agreed to issue $24.5 million in bonds toward construction and has pledged $17.5 million in BP oil-catastrophe money.
Kimmel said the aquarium will be asking for $30 million more when the Legislature holds its special session June 5. Without that money, Kimmel said, the aquarium will be built in phases.
The main building and an entry building are going up. The acrylic has already been ordered for unique features in the aquarium, including a transparent tunnel surrounded by water and a large viewing window. The city is expecting another streetscaping grant, like those used downtown, for landscaping and sidewalks.
Kimmel is unsure without full funding how many, if any, of the aquarium's outdoor water features can be completed. The outdoor features include a winding river and dolphin pool. He's hoping the dolphin pool will be part of the first phase if construction is phased.
A big fundraising campaign also is planned. MESH marketing and advertising agency in Baton Rouge is planning the campaign and designed the aquarium's website.
The aquarium's total estimated design and construction budget — including animals, startup and land costs — is $93 million. Kimmel said he expects to go out for bids the first week in July on building construction.
Coast Transit Authority is moving ahead with plans for a transit station across from the aquarium in the shell of the old Gulfport library gutted by 2005's Hurricane Katrina. Kimmel said the aquarium will have its offices on the building's second floor.

Google Home speakers quietly lose Guest Mode feature
Brittany A. Roston - Jan 13, 2020, 3:15 pm CST
It appears that Google has quietly removed the Guest Mode feature from its Google Home speakers. Users have noticed that the feature is no longer available for the speakers within the Google Home app, though it remains available for Chromecast devices (for now). Seemingly underscoring the permanent nature of this change is Google's removal of its Support pages related to the now-defunct feature.
The absence of the Google Home Guest Mode feature was first reported by Android Police, which also noticed that Google has taken down the Support pages that once discussed the feature. The removal of those pages indicates that the Guest Mode's removal was deliberate and permanent.
When available, this mode made it possible for guests to cast content to your Google Home speaker by entering the correct PIN. The beneficial feature here is that users didn't have to be connected to the same WiFi network as the speaker — homeowners could simply provide their guests with the Google Home PIN rather than with their home WiFi network.
The feature first arrived for Chromecast devices and — at least at this point in time — it is still available for them. As with the Google Home speakers, the feature enables guests to cast videos to a nearby Chromecast device if they have been provided with the correct PIN.
The Guest Mode is also missing from the newer Nest Home speakers, as well as other smart speakers featuring Google Assistant, including third-party products, smart displays, and Android TV (the ones that supported it, anyway). It seems unlikely that the feature will return in the future and there's no clear explanation about why Google decided to do away with the option.

Conflict Alerts # 569, 24 November 2022
On 23 November, Angola's foreign minister announced that regional leaders had agreed to a ceasefire in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, for cessation of hostilities from 25 November. The ceasefire was signed by DRC, Rwanda, Angola, Burundi and former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta. The ceasefire calls on the M23 to withdraw from all the areas it controls and disarm and surrender to the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (FARDC).
On 21 November, Kenyan President William Ruto met Felix Tshisekedi, President of DRC, in Kinshasa where Ruto had emphasized the East African Community's (EAC) commitment "to do whatever it takes" to support Tshisekedi, the Congolese government, and its people in ensuring peace in the DRC. Ruto said: "It's in our interest, collectively and individually, that we have a peaceful region." The same day, Uganda assured that Kampala would send 1000 troops to DRC under the EAC's regional force. Meanwhile, mediation talks between the DRC government and rebels in the country's east, scheduled for the day, were postponed.
On 19 November, the Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) killed a soldier suspected to be from the FARDC; the RDF claimed the soldier had crossed into Rwandan territory and opened fire at local forces. However, DRC maintained that no FARDC soldier was missing.
On 18 November, news agencies, referring to an EAC statement, reported that mediator and former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and Rwandan President Paul Kagame had agreed on the necessity of a ceasefire and withdrawal of the M23 from the towns they captured. Reuters quoted the deputy spokesperson of the DRC president: "It is encouraging to see Paul Kagame recognize that he can influence the M23."
First, the latest violence between DRC forces and M23. Since late October, violence between the M23 and Congolese forces has escalated with the latter trying to recapture rebel-held territories in North Kivu province in the east. A UNICEF report indicates that 234,500 have fled the conflict areas and daily activities in rebel-controlled Rutshuru town have come to a standstill, except for "a few actors."
Second, rebel groups in DRC's east. The M23 (acronymized from March 23), formed from a mutiny within the FARDC in 2012 by former militiamen who were integrated into the army, demands the rights and representation of Congolese Tutsis. However, in 2013, the M23 rebellion was suppressed by the FARDC and UN missions. Apart from the M23, an estimated 120 militia groups who have their roots in the two Congo wars in 1994 and 1996 and those that emerged later with support from neighbouring countries, operate in the east.
Third, accusations and counter-accusations. The DRC government claims it has evidence that Rwanda supports the rebels. The government also expelled Kigali's ambassador to Kinshasa. The constant accusations instilled an anti-Rwanda sentiment among the Congolese who have been holding protests against Rwanda. Meanwhile, Rwanda has denied the allegations and has, instead, accused DRC of supporting groups operating against the government in Kigali.
Fourth, failure of previous attempts to reduce tensions. The latest development comes after talks failed in July 2022. The M23 resurfaced after a ten-year hiatus in November 2021 when it started attacking FARDC positions in North Kivu. By March 2022, the group had captured areas along DRC's border with Uganda and Rwanda and moved further towards the provincial capital, Goma. At the time, DRC-Rwanda relations soured and in July, both countries agreed to de-escalate tensions. However, the M23 reiterated: "We are Congolese, not Rwandan. If there's a ceasefire, it can only be between us and the Congolese government."
First, the M23 demands that the DRC government negotiates with and considers them as Congolese citizens and not link them with Rwanda. However, the government has not met this demand so far; the lack of negotiations, therefore, is likely to fortify the violence in the east. Simultaneously, the constant blame game between Kinshasa and Kigali over M23 activities could worsen the relationship between the two countries, which has been precarious since the 1990s.
Second, the involvement of the EAC commenced after DRC joined the regional trade bloc in April. With DRC's inclusion, the EAC territory spans from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic, and DRC offers a vast market, not just in terms of consumers but also for its resources and minerals. However, the tensions and frequent recalling of diplomats between DRC and Rwanda hinder the smooth functioning and potential growth within the EAC as the DRC connects with other EAC members such as Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, and Tanzania.
Third, with the UN peacekeepers facing an increased backlash within DRC, the involvement of regional troops is a new option for the government and the people. The military may be able to quell the M23 as they did in 2013, however, they can neither address the insecurity stemming from other groups nor will they be able to establish peace in the region pursuing kinetic options alone.

Venezuela's ousted prosecutor accuses Maduro of corruption
BRASILIA - Venezuela's recently ousted chief prosecutor on Wednesday accused President Nicolas Maduro of participating in acts of corruption, saying she would turn over proof that would help other countries prosecute.
Luisa Ortega Diaz spoke during a meeting of Mercosur trade bloc prosecutors in the capital of Brasilia. Ortega was removed by a new, pro-government constitutional assembly in early August after breaking with the socialist government.
She fled abroad with her husband, whose arrest was ordered by the country's supreme court.
"I want to denounce, in front of the world, a grave situation in Venezuela: that of excessive corruption," Ortega said. "Because of that reason, (Maduro's administration) is violating the constitution and law to protect itself."
Ortega said she had evidence implicating Maduro and other top officials in corruption involving Brazilian constructor Odebrecht and other companies, which she did not name. But she did not publicly give details.
Odebrecht has been at the center of the massive "Car Wash" probe in Brazil involving kickbacks for contracts. Over the last three years, dozens of Brazil's top politicians and businessmen have been jailed, including former Odebrecht CEO Marcelo Odebrecht.
The investigation has led to prosecutions in several countries in Latin America where Odebrecht and other Brazilian construction companies operated.
Even if Ortega possesses strong evidence, however, it's not clear whether it could hurt Maduro's administration, which is already alienated from many of the region's countries.
While Brazil shares information with other countries related to the "Car Wash" investigation, authorities say they leave the prosecution of foreign nationals to justice officials in those countries.
Ortega's visit came a day after Maduro claimed that she was working with Washington to damage his administration and said Venezuela would ask for an international arrest warrant for Ortega. It wasn't immediately known if that had been requested or if it would even be considered.
The Mercosur trade bloc has suspended Venezuela due to the crisis there.
Before Ortega spoke, Brazil Attorney General Rodrigo Janot described her ouster as an "an institutional rape" that eroded the independence of Venezuela's justice system.

Taganrog (ryska Таганрог) är en hamnstad på kusten mot Azovska sjön i Rostov oblast i sydvästra Ryssland, omkring 72 kilometer från Rostov-na-Donu. Den hade 253 040 invånare i början av 2015.

Peter I av Ryssland grundade år 1698 staden som fästnings- och hamnstad. Dess utveckling är nära förknippad med det ryska väldets dramatiska historia, med dess århundradelånga kamp för nå de sydliga haven. Den första borgmästaren i Taganrog var norrmannen Cornelius Cruys.

Taganrog är ett viktigt forsknings-, kultur-, och industricentrum i södra Ryssland. Den har universitet och högskola för lärarutbildning samt tekniska och yrkesskolor. Klimatet är gynnsamt och Taganrog är en betydande badort med viktig turistnäring.

I Taganrog finns bland annat flera museer: Anton Tjechovs födelsehus, Litterära museet, Durovmuseet, konstmuseerna och annat som står som kännetecken för den ryska kulturen. Taganrog är Anton Tjechovs och Faina Ranevskajas födelsestad, och personer som Aleksandr Pusjkin, tsar Alexander I, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Pjotr Tjajkovskij, Konstantin Paustovskij, Ivan Vasilenko, Victor Bregeda, Nestor Kukolnik, Achilles Alferaki, Archip Kuindzji och Konstantin Savitskij kan förknippas med Taganrog.

Q: Kivy: Click-drag Screen Visuals I'm completely new to Kivy, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to even structure what I mean to make. I'd like to be able have some drawn figure on a screen (a triangle made out of 3 circles and a line drawn to connect all of them, for example) wherein I can click on a circle and drag it to another position, redrawing the line with the new position of the circle. Preferably, when dragging, I'd like the circle to "stick" with the cursor/touch input.
Would I be making each of these points Widgets? I know the graphics tools Kivy provides can draw the shapes I need, but I'm not quite sure how I'd be interacting with them again after they're drawn. Additionally, I'm not sure how I'd do the "stick" part of the drag with cursor, since it seems like Kivy would just be drawing the circle repeatedly alongside the cursor, which would result in it overlaying the figure repeatedly.

A: You might be able to take inspiration from the Bezier example for this, as it does such manipulation for points that guide the line, and allows dragging them, much like you line would.
https://github.com/kivy/kivy/blob/master/examples/canvas/bezier.py
i also did a more complex example here
https://gist.github.com/tshirtman/78669a514f390bf246627b190e2eba1a
which allows creation of multiple lines.
Basically, the idea, if you have multiple interaction points in a widget, is to keep track of the position of these points, in a property, and to use this property to draw the canvas, so the instructions are automatically update when the property change, and to also use the property in the on_touch_down method to check for distance of the touch to them, to decide which (if any) point to interact with, once this is decided, you just need to somehow link that touch to that point, so further interactions (on_touch_move and on_touch_up) with it are consistent (touch.ud is good for that), and to grab the touch so you don't miss any update (a parent widget can always decide this touch is actually not to propagate anymore).
code from the gist for reference (and because SO doesn't like much answers that point to external resources).

Q: JMeter: Users are decreasing for subsequent http requests I have a scenario where I need to login with 100 users and all 100 users landed safely on welcome page. Out of 100, 80 users clicked on link1 and landed on link1 page. Out of 80 uses, 50 users clicked on link2 from link1 page and landed on link2 page.
Would this possible with JMeter?
Can anyone help me out here?

A: Depending on what is your plan for "remaining" users you can choose one of the below approaches:

*

*Distribution of user load between requests (one group of users is executing one sampler (or group of samplers) requests and another group of users is doing something else. It can be done using following test elements:

*

*Throughput Controller

*Switch Controller

*Weighted Switch Controller
See Running JMeter Samplers with Defined Percentage Probability for more information on the above approaches.

*One group of users is doing something, another is being shut down. In this case example Test Plan configuration will look like:

*

*Login Request

*If Controller (condition ${__threadNum} <= 80)

*

*Link 1

*If Controller (condition ${__threadNum} <= 50)

*

*Link 2

__threadNum() is a function which basically returns current virtual user number so after first If Controller 80 virtual users will continue, and after second one only 50 will be left. Others either will go to the next loop iteration or will be shut down (depending on your Thread Group settings)

A382 Improvements Contribution PDF 308 KB
The Portfolio Holder for Planning presented the report to approve Teignbridge's Community Infrastructure Levy contribution towards phase one of the A382 improvements.
The Principal Delivery Officer advised that the scheme had been identified as a key Local Plan priority which would improve safety, sustainable travel and increase highway capacity. Devon County Council had secured £6.5 million through the Local Enterprise Partnership administered through the Growth Deal and the identification of local match funding was essential to securing this support. The Council would be using Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) receipts to fund this project.
The first phase of works between Forches Cross and Newton Abbot was due to commence during Autumn 2019 and would be delivered by Devon County Council. The commencement of this scheme would be part of a wider programme of enhancements along the corridor between Drumbridges and Newton Abbot.
In response to Member's questions, the Principal Delivery Officer clarified the position with regards to future CIL receipts, which were based on figures in the Local Plan allocation and the road would be the main artery to support the growth of Newton Abbot.
It was proposed by the Portfolio Holder for Climate Change Emergency & Housing, seconded by Councillor Peart and carried.
RESOLVED that:-
(1) a contribution of up to £5.1 million towards phase 1 of the A382 improvements be approved. This will be paid to Devon County Council by 2022/23 subject to:
a) Sufficient funding being available within that timeframe; and
b) Confirmation of the Local Enterprise Partnership Growth Deal contribution towards the scheme;
(2) this funding commitment be reflected in future Teignbridge Capital Programmes; and
(3) the Business Manager Strategic Place (in consultation with the Section 151 Officer and the Solicitor to the Council) be given delegated authority to complete an associated funding agreement with Devon County Council.
Dawlish Link and Bridge PDF 281 KB
The Portfolio Holder for Planning presented the report to approve the deployment of £4.9 million of government grant funding to deliver key elements of the new link road at Dawlish's North West Secmaton Lane Local Plan DA2 allocation.
The Principal Delivery Officer commented that the provision of the link road was a key priority for the delivery of the Local Plan DA2 allocation. Members were advised that the project cost estimates carried some risk although this had been diluted by a more detailed survey and modelling. Devon County Council would deliver the scheme and a project board would regularly manage the budget to ensure that the outturn costs did not excess the available funds.
In response to Members questions, the Principal Delivery Officer clarified that the Home England funding was from the Marginal Viability element of the Housing Infrastructure Fund, available to lower tier authorities only, for the provision of infrastructure which would then enable the attainment of policy objectives, including that of, affordable housing to be maximised.
The Local Ward Members welcomed this funding to support the development being brought forward in the DA2 area.
It was proposed by the Portfolio Holder for Planning, seconded by the Portfolio Holder for Communities and IT and carried.
(1) the receipt and expenditure of £4.9 million of grant funding from Homes England, towards the development costs of Dawlish's Local Plan DA2 allocation link road and associated bridge be approved; and
(2) the Business Manager Strategic Place (in consultation with the Section 151 Officer and the Solicitor to the Council) be given delegated authority to complete:
(a) the Homes England funding agreement; and
(b) agreement(s) with Devon County Council and the site owners as necessary to secure the delivery of the project.
Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985 - Exclusion of Press and Public
RECOMMENDED that, under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the press and public be excluded from the meeting during consideration of item 10 on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in the relevant paragraphs 3 and 5 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act.
The Deputy Leader proposed, seconded by the Leader that, because of the financial sensitivity and legal privilege issues concerning the Council and third parties and the public interest, the Council go into Part II session and exclude the press and public. This was carried.
RESOLVED that under Section 100 (A) (4) of the Local Government Act 1972 that press and public be excluded from the meeting of the following item of business on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraphs 3 and 5 of Part 1 of Schedule 12 A of the Act and such restricted consideration was in the public interest.
Budget Approval for Estates Management Issue
View the reasons why item 38. is restricted
The Interim Head of Commercial Services presented the report for budget approval for an Estates Management Issue.
The recommendation was proposed by Councillor Russell, seconded by the Deputy Leader and carried.

Tag: national action network
Comments Off on Why is the national action network schedule so important?
Why is the national action network schedule so important?
In the late 1980s, when the national network of food organisations was just beginning to emerge, the food industry had been hit by a new wave of austerity.
The Government was spending a lot of money on the welfare of its citizens, but the cuts were making it hard for food to compete with supermarkets and fast food.
As a result, the industry needed a national network to help promote the new diet and offer the public information and advice on what to eat.
The first national network was launched in the early 1990s and since then, it has been the backbone of the food system.
As the food networks have expanded to other countries, their ability to serve a broader and wider range of people has grown.
But what are the key lessons they have learned?
This is an edited extract from the first part of a series of three-part articles by Mark Williams.
First, some background.
How did the food network get started?
The National Action Network was launched on the National Action Day in July 1991, and the aim was to build a network of organisations working in a range of different sectors and communities.
It was initially set up as a one-off initiative in response to a challenge from the Government, but over time, the network expanded.
What is a national action plan?
An action plan is a comprehensive plan that outlines the actions needed to achieve a specific objective.
Each national network has a unique set of priorities that have been developed by the network and are shared across all the networks.
For example, the national food network, for example, has an action plan for the food sector that includes recommendations for all the organisations involved.
In some cases, an action has already been implemented and it is not the network's role to carry out the actual implementation.
For a network to be successful, it needs to have a large range of organisations involved in a coordinated way.
For instance, in some countries, the National Health Service (NHS) is responsible for delivering food, but this role is not a national responsibility.
What are the different national food networks?
There are four main national food systems: the food and nutrition sectors, the consumer and community food sectors, and voluntary organisations.
Each of these has its own set of objectives, which can include promoting healthy living and nutrition.
The food and health sectors have a range in common: they focus on food and feed security, public health, nutrition and physical activity, as well as tackling climate change and climate change-related disease.
The consumer and communities food sector focuses on issues including environmental sustainability, local communities and rural communities.
They also support businesses in the food supply chain and the wider food industry.
In addition to these different sectors, there are other types of organisations that are involved in various aspects of the sector.
These include: community food groups, which provide support for local food producers and small business owners, and are often part of community organisations, like local shops or schools; public health and food safety groups, such as the Health and Safety Executive; voluntary organisations, such at the grassroots level and in the workplace; and voluntary groups working in the environment, for instance for sustainability.
What can we expect from the national actions network?
The action plans are always evolving, and we will be watching the progress of each network closely.
As part of the National Actions Network, we have launched a series called The Food Action Plan.
This will provide a snapshot of the progress made by the food services sector over the past two decades.
In 2016, the Food Action Programme showed the network had made a significant impact, with over 7.6 million pounds of food products produced in the UK.
What will be happening next?
In 2018, we will continue to work with the food service sector to see how the network can better support them to meet the new challenges of climate change, climate change related disease, and other social and economic challenges.
We also plan to continue to invest in improving the network so that it can deliver the right kind of action plan to meet all the needs of the people who need it most.
What does the food policy industry make of this?
Food policy is a key industry that has made a lot out of the national and local food network programmes over the last 20 years.
As one of the world's largest food companies, Cargill has a vested interest in making sure that the food systems it operates are able to provide the right level of protection for the people and communities that rely on them.
We believe that the best way to support these organisations is to support the network in the right way.
You can help shape the national foods network by getting involved in one of four ways.
Take action: The National Food Network is working with the National Food Action Network to ensure the network has the resources and support it needs for delivering a plan for delivering the right action plan.

Comments Off on Why You Need to Listen to the National Action Network
Why You Need to Listen to the National Action Network
We've covered the National Movement Network before, but the way that they use it is incredibly effective.
You can watch it on your phone, tablet, or laptop and it will take you through everything from the protests in the US to the Black Lives Matter movement, as well as the ongoing efforts to get more young people involved in the political process.
It is one of the most popular and effective platforms out there, but it is also very complicated and complicated to use.
Here are a few things you need to know about the National Network:1.
They don't accept cash.
That's a biggie, because they've raised a lot of money and a lot more than a few big tech companies.
The money they raise is used for everything from buying their domain name to paying for the domain itself.
You're only allowed to buy one domain per account, so if you don't use it, you can't buy the other domains they have.
They've also been sued over copyright claims, but that's only a matter of time.
You have to make a donation, and that's where you can get your money back.
The National Network is open to donations through the end of the month.2.
The site is hosted on WordPress.
They are not using WordPress.
If you use another CMS, they will tell you that you can pay with PayPal.3.
The sites are not free to use, though.
You pay for the domains, and you can add other domains to the network, which can add extra costs.4.
There are limits on how many domains you can create, but if you do it for a lot, they'll refund you the cost of the domain you create.
They can only give you three domains for free, and they have to refund any additional ones you create with their refund system.5.
If they ask you to make an extra donation, it's not free.
It costs money.
They will also take a percentage of the money that you make, which you can keep for yourself or give to the cause.6.
You need to be logged in to your account to access the site, and once you've logged in, you need a website that is hosted with a domain.
If your domain is on a WordPress site, they're not able to get access to it, because WordPress only allows one domain to be registered.
This means that you have to register a new domain, which is a bit of a pain.
You'll also need to get permission from your parents or someone in your family to do this.
This could be tricky for those with small children or people who are disabled.7.
They use social media to share their content.
If someone posts a video or photo on Facebook, they can link to it on the National National Network, and then people can watch the video or the photo on their social media platforms.
This is a pretty powerful tool for them.
They have created a Facebook page called the National Social Media Network and they're working on a Tumblr page.8.
They're open to sharing their content on other sites.
They do not limit their content to their own social media channels.
They'll allow people to embed their content wherever they want on their own websites, as long as it's on their official sites.9.
They take money from advertisers, but they don't take money for ads.
They only use a small percentage of their revenue to pay for their hosting.10.
If a site they host goes down, they won't refund you.
If it doesn't happen for a few days, you'll still get your refund.
They still won't give you your money in full, but you can ask for a refund from the site.11.
The ads they pay for are free.
The website itself is free to everyone.
It's not an advertising network, but for people who want to use their social platforms, it is.
They make money from their ads and they don,t take money or ads from companies.

How to be an indie film star
With the launch of the National Action Network, the indie film industry has finally gotten some national exposure.
In this video, producer and filmmaker Jordan Zink shows you how to be the best in the business by building a brand and an audience around your work.
Jordan Zink is a producer, director, and director of commercials for The National Action network.
The NationalAction network launched in the fall of 2018, with a goal of bringing together filmmakers, creatives, producers, and audiences from all across the country to build an audience for independent film.
With the NationalAction Network, Zink and his team have produced and distributed films ranging from indie hits to major films like the upcoming American Woman to the Oscar-nominated American History X. This month, Zuck announced the launch the National Adventures of the Peacock Network, a project that will connect aspiring filmmakers to audiences in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
The National Adventures will help budding filmmakers connect with audiences across the nation.
Each National Adventures film will be produced and narrated by a professional film producer.
Each film will also feature a team of actors, writers, and other creative professionals.
The film will have a unique narrative structure and a strong theme.
Zink's project, titled Peacocks, will be a compilation of two movies that he shot over the last year.
The first film, Peacocking, features the Peacoats, a group of animals that roam the woods of Pennsylvania and Ohio, and the second film, The PeacOCK, is an adaptation of the famous book The Peacoat Chronicles, by author William Shakespeare.
The Peacas are a species of raptor, native to North America, but have been largely eradicated by human activities.
The series aims to help viewers understand the history of the species.
Peacocks is set in the fictional town of Easton, Pennsylvania, where the Peacas once roamed the countryside.
In the story, a Peacocker family decides to leave the town to take up a new life in the countryside with their young daughter, who is named Peac.
The family takes a journey across the state to explore the country and become more acquainted with their surroundings.
In addition to the two films, Peacenters will be available for download on Amazon Prime Video.
The second film is titled The PeACOCKs, and focuses on the Peacaocks and the animals they've brought with them to the area.
It also features the voices of actors such as Amy Sedaris, Amy Sedgwick, and Jada Pinkett Smith.
Peacas and PeacLOCKs will be released in early 2019.
