Recipe & Review: Stuffed Turkey | The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook
With the premiere of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" in US theaters this Friday (Nov. 21) and Thanksgiving around the corner, I decided to try a turkey recipe from Emily Ansara Baines' delicious-recipe-filled and thorough The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook, in which there is a chapter titled "Don't Call Me Chicken–Poultry Dishes for the Brave" (chapter 6) containing not only recipes for chicken and turkey, but also goose, duck, dove, partridge, and pheasant. And boy was it delicious! I'm going to make it again for Thanksgiving, and probably many more times just because.
The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook was published by Adams Media in 2012 and contains "more than 150 recipes inspired by the Hunger Games trilogy". There are nine chapters filled with foods either directly from Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games books or inspired by characters and/or scenes in the series. There's also an appendix after chapter nine titled "Katniss's Family Book of Herbs" detailing some of the prominent herbs and plants Katniss did or may have encountered! After a very informative introduction discussing the role of food in the series and preparing the reader to discover foods for both the overindulgent capitol inhabitants and the meagerly-fed people of the districts, the book begins with breakfast, continues with bread, then soups, stews, and salads, and goes on to appetizers and sides, through various types of meats (divided into fours chapters), and concludes with desserts. One of the meat chapters, titled "Wild Game for Wild Girls", is filled with recipes that only hunters, or friends of hunters, could make, adding to the authentic and well-researched nature (nature, exactly) of this book. If you're not a hunter, rather than brushing past or decrying this chapter, simply get creative in making substitutions–that is one of the themes of the series after all; making due with what you have.
Each chapter is given a short, meaningful introduction that connects the recipes therein to various themes in the books, and at times, relay little bits of life-wisdom. Each recipe also has a small introduction, pinpointing its location in the series or where its inspiration is found, wether it be character, landscape, situation, or mentality/personality. I've noticed though, and this isn't necessarily a bad thing and could be viewed as simply giving options, that many of the recipes revolve around a single ingredient mentioned in the books, for example, the recipe I chose is connected with Catching Fire chapter 7 because a wild turkey, hanging from Gale's belt, is described near the beginning of that chapter and appears again, nailed above Gale's head, while he's being whipped in the District 12 square. It becomes a very important wild, dead turkey, and is actually connected with a couple of recipes in the cookbook, but only in the fact that it's a type of meat named in the series. The recipes imagine different ways the turkey could have been prepared, though knowing what the chapter is about (Katniss and Gale) it feels inappropriate to mention Katniss and Peeta's friendship in the recipe introduction (though Peeta is in the chapter near the end). So, many recipes are present in the cookbook because a certain food or ingredient is named in the books, but the introduction of the recipes don't necessarily match up with the scene the food/ingredient is found (sorry if that doesn't make sense). Every recipe also has a "Tips from your Sponsor" section off to the side detailing substitution suggestions and/or helpful knowledge for steps in the recipe.
All in all, this book is incredibly detailed and shows the amount of research and work Emily put into it. A potential drawback is that there are no pictures of the finished foods! But that's coming from a very visual person. The way the book is designed, it's more of a read-through and almost workbook; the contents fit very well with the book's style and layout. This would make a great gift for those who love to cook and explore new recipes, but also any fan of the Hunger Games because of its discussion of the important themes in the series.
Note: In the sponsor tips section for this recipe, Emily gives alternate fillings for the turkey: brie cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil, and white cheddar, apricot preserves, and fresh rosemary. Apricot and brie is a great combination too!
Also to note, as with all of my cookbook reviews, the recipe below is in my own words so as to include my experiences and input.
Monterey Jack, Bacon, & Green Chili Stuffed Turkey Breasts
2 (2 lb) Turkey Breast Halves (I couldn't find this exactly so I got an almost 3 lb breast)
4 Whole Mild Green Chilis (from a can)
8 oz. Monterey Jack Cheese, cut into 8 slices
4 Bacon Strips, crispy cooked (I baked mine in the oven on a wire rack so they wouldn't shrivel)
1. Heat your oven to 350ºF. Slice a pocket into the turkey breast(s). Cut open the green peppers & place a piece of bacon & 2 slices of cheese inside (like a chili, bacon, cheese taco). Place two filled chilis into each breast (or if you have one big breast, put all four chilis in), cutting the pocket(s) in the turkey wider if needed, but making sure not to cut through. Close the turkey breast(s) & secure with toothpicks or baking string.
2. Grease a (broiler-proof) baking dish & lay the turkey breast(s) in it. Dab a little olive oil onto the breast(s) & then sprinkle lightly with salt & pepper. Cover the dish with foil & bake for about 30 minutes, or until the thickest part of the meat registers 160ºF on a meat thermometer. (The instructions for the 3 lb turkey breast I bought said to pour about 1/2" of water into the baking dish & to bake for about 45 mins to an hour. I did this–covered in foil–& the meat turned out so perfect & moist! I also put a few extra cooked bacon strips on top before baking & tucked a few carrots around the sides.)
3. Remove the foil & drizzle more olive oil over the turkey breast(s). Broil the turkey for about 5 minutes or so so the top(s) can brown (I removed the bacons strips from top of the turkey before I broiled it). Remove from the oven & let sit for 5 minutes. When ready to serve, cut the turkey into diagonal slices.

Nice post. Thanks

The best way to check for doneness is to use a meat thermometer. The minimum safe internal temperature is 165 degrees. If you pierce the breast with a fork, the juices should run clear. If you use a convection oven it will reduce the turkey breast cooking times above by approximately 25 percent. To be safe use a meat thermometer to test for doneness.

Brazil: Lessons learned…
Social housing project in Contagem, Brazil
Brazil: Lessons learned in Social Housing Projects with Solar Systems (2005)
Thu, 17 December 2009
It was a highlight for the press in those days: In the year 2000, 100 out of the 800 families participating in the social housing project in Contagem, Brazil, received a solar water heater for their home. The tank of the thermosiphon systems was installed below the roof top.

In Brazil, the use of solar water heaters in social housing projects is already a reality. The path to solar housing, however, was full of detours and shortcuts – and consequently a lot of lessons learned. The story began in the early 2000s when the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais (PUC) implemented the first programme for solar water heaters in social interest housing via its Green Solar Laboratory, the referral center for solar thermal energy in Brazil.
The name of the project was the same as its location: Sapucaias, a housing area in the city of Contagem, 25 km from Belo Horizonte, capital of the state of Minas Gerais. Eletrobrás, one of the major power utilities in Brazil, provided the funds for it.
Solar water heaters were installed in 100 houses out of a total 800 houses participating in the project. This allowed researchers to compare homes with and without the installation of solar technology. The following table shows the summarized results after 5 years of monitoring energy and water bills. The complete study is part of a doctoral thesis published in 2006 (see the attached document in Portuguese).
Families with solar water heater Families without solar water heater
Average monthly energy consumption 81 kWh 145 KWh
Average energy savings 44 % 0 %
Value of the monthly bill for electricity [US$] 19 US$ 49 US$
Increase in monthly income [US$] 30 US$ 0 US$
Results of the 1st solar heating programme for social housings in Brazil, the Sapucaias Project, which was implemented in 2000 Source: Green Solar Laboratory, Catholic University of Minas Gerais
The results were very promising. Households with solar water heaters were able to reduce their electricity consumption by 44 %, which corresponded to a monthly saving of US$ 30. Almost 70 % of all households had a family income between 1 and 2 minimum wages, which, at that time, amounted to approximately US$ 140. The families could therefore increase their monthly income by 21 %, which also meant an increase in the quality of life for them.
Despite these positive aspects, some difficulties arose that should be avoided in future solar projects for social housing. The first problem was the resident's initial, but natural rejection of solar installations, only because solar was a new technology. Some residents, for example, believed that the water heated by the sun could cause skin cancer. Others were concerned that the technology would attract thunders, and so on.
Lesson 1: It had been necessary to hold a presentation in front of the entire community, including the children, before the initial rejection could be overcome. It is important that everyone understands that solar is the only appliance in the house, which will not consume energy, but produce free heat for many years instead.
Secondly, it became apparent that a small, but important number of families, who received a solar water heater at no cost, resold it quickly. At that time, solar panels cost at least US$ 600. The profit from selling these systems was more important to the families than the monthly savings of electricity.
Lesson 2: It is important that a solar heater is not donated to families, but financed over a 20-year period along with the house itself. The increase in the monthly payment to finance house and system is rather small compared to the cost savings of reduced electricity consumption.

I created an account last year and I cannot remember my username i used to login, since my computer stopped working a while back, i had to get a new one, and i lost the information and email i used for that account, I cant remember the info, I created a character named Zodd "The Immortal" and put alot of effort in moving him to this world so that I could play as him. Last I remember I started on the west side of the big map and started moving north and east if i remember correctly. I didnt get to play very much, but i was really liking it, and would like to get back in. I might have had two other characters on the account, cant remember if i went through with creating the others as my main focus was Zodd, I would really like to recover him, but if nothing can be done i will understand.
While I'm not an admin, Zodd doesn't come up on the character search thing in the game. That means he died while you were away. Recently they added a "retire" function which can safely store a character away for later play, but that wouldn't have existed when you were playing.
It's not possible to bring Zodd back, but if you get access to your account again then you can for example, create a character who is a descendant of Zodd.
Andrew on the forums is the main moderator for the game. You'd need to get him to change the email address associated with your account, so knowing the old email address is the main thing, however at a pinch a mod could probably look up your old character and work out the account details.
Oh man well, I sure hope he didn't die, but if he did, then making a descendant of him does sounds like a badass story I could try. This gives me a lot of hope thank you for replying so fast guys! How would I go about getting in contact with Andrew and trying to work out the changing of my emails?

Variety of dairy products makes healthy eating easy
The information presented on this page was originally released on June 3, 2004. It may not be outdated, but please search our site for more current information. If you plan to quote or reference this information in a publication, please check with the Extension specialist or author before proceeding.
Ms. Keryn Page
MSU Extension Service
MISSISSIPPI STATE -- This year, June Dairy Month celebrates the "Power of 3" -- the number of dairy servings needed each day and the number of weeks experts say it takes to develop a healthy dairy habit.
Incorporating milk, yogurt, cheese and other dairy products into daily eating routines helps build strong bones and keep bodies healthy. The Southeast United Dairy Industry Association encourages families to serve these healthy foods at daily snack times for three weeks to give children and adults the opportunity to develop this healthy eating habit.
"Dairy products like milk provide a very good source of protein and calcium, both of which are important for bone health," said Peggy Walker, a Mississippi State University Extension Service nutrition agent based in Panola County. "Consuming enough dairy products is especially important for children because their bones are growing. Milk is a very concentrated source of calcium, and most children like milk, so parents should encourage them to drink three glasses every day."
Nutrition experts recommend Americans eat three servings of dairy products daily. One serving equals 1 cup of milk or yogurt, 1.5 ounces of natural cheese or 2 ounces of processed cheese. This quantity helps the body receive the calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, riboflavin, protein, and vitamins A and D that it needs daily. Dairy consumption also can help build stronger and healthier teeth and gums, and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, high blood pressure and certain cancers.
Another good reason to consume three servings of dairy foods each day is that experts believe adequate sources of calcium aid in weight loss efforts.
"Studies have shown that there is a link between dairy consumption and lower body weight because calcium may play a role in the body's natural system for burning fat," Walker said. These studies show that overweight adults on a reduced-calorie diet that included at least three servings a day of dairy foods lost more weight than those who consumed few dairy foods, or who took an equal amount of calcium from supplements.
Because obesity and weight problems often begin in childhood and adolescence, it makes sense to provide children with healthy food choices at school and at home. Parents can provide children opportunities to eat healthy foods at home, as well as encourage schools to increase access to nutritious foods and beverages while reducing access to high-calorie, low-nutrient options.
Children learn by example, so it's important for parents to model good nutrition choices. Choosing a cup of yogurt over a bag of chips, for example, helps children realize snacks can be healthy and delicious at the same time.
"There are so many different flavors of milk available now that even people who don't like the taste of plain milk can find something they'll enjoy. These flavored milks are fine sources of calcium and protein, and there's no reason not to include them in a healthy diet," Walker said. "Low-fat yogurts and cheeses, even ice cream, are also good choices."
Walker said including milk in cooking can also help meet the three-daily-servings goal. Another option: use milk rather than non-dairy creamer to sweeten coffee.
"Milk is much healthier for you than the artificial, non-dairy creamers, which don't provide protein or calcium," Walker said. "You can get as much as one-fourth of a cup of milk just by using it in your coffee each day."

The LVMH prize, surprisingly, went to Japanese streetwear brand Doublet, just days after Supreme took home CFDA hardware.
Perhaps you've noticed, and maybe even participated: In recent years, at offices around the world, cap-toe oxford shoes have been traded in for squishy-soled sneakers, button-up shirts replaced by graphic tees. The very accommodating umbrella of "streetwear" has grown large enough to include just about everything guys wear these days. The shift has been bubbling violently just below the mainstream for the better part of this decade. Now the powers that be—also known as The People with All the Money—are catching on.
The latest evidence of the streetwear takeover comes in the form of a trophy handed down from LVMH—the largest fashion conglomerate in the world, the one that owns labels like Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Givenchy and holds an annual designer competition with a prize of €300,000 and a year-long mentorship from designers like Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs. This is LVMH's chance to put whoever it believes is the designer of the future on a fast track. In years past, LVMH has turned to the sort of designer well versed in the art of dress and/or suit-making. This year, though, as it's done so many times recently, LVMH picked from the world of streetwear, crowning Japanese brand Doublet, a Travis Scott favorite that makes hoodies, tracksuits, and tees loaded up with graphics.
Time and again over the past couple months, LVMH has put its money where the trends are: streetwear. The two flirted last year when Louis Vuitton collaborated with Supreme, but the relationship has moved at Bachelor speeds ever since. Louis Vuitton went from collaborating with the world of streetwear to putting its chosen son, Virgil Abloh, in charge of men's design. Kim Jones, the former LV designer, was shuffled over to Dior Homme, where he'll continue to design his sport- and streetwear-inspired pieces. Earlier this year, LVMH's investment arm acquired a stake in sneaker resale shop Stadium Goods.
Now LVMH is throwing 300,000 euros at Doublet designer Masayuki Ino in the hopes that he'll build the next great streetwear brand—and LVMH will have a front-row seat. And Doublet isn't the only award winner to come out of this. LVMH also announced that three fashion-school grads won full-time employment at Céline, Givenchy, and Louis Vuitton. It's fun to put together ceremonies and have Emma Stone ("A great actress whose talent is applauded worldwide," the press release reads) come to hand out awards, but what's really in this for LVMH is the chance to secure new blood both at its existing brands and at new ones.
Doublet doesn't fit the typical profile of a brand that wins these sorts of contests. Last year, womenswear designer Marine Serre won with a pair of dresses, and the year before that the British menswear designer Grace Wales Bonner took home the prize after whipping up two tailored looks. Doublet makes clothes so far away from that universe that you'd have to sign up for one of those space missions there's no coming back from to travel the distance. The models dressed in Masayuki's winning designs—a varsity jacket with clear sleeves, a graphic tee, track pants, a sunset-print shirt—were photographed at the ceremony in slide sandals. Slides!
"It's sportswear, but it doesn't look like sportswear," Louis Vuitton designer Nicolas Ghesquière, who was also on the jury for the prize, told Vogue. That Ghesquière and the other jury members decided to reward this sort of design is a tacit acknowledgment that this is fashion now. It's a sensible business decision, too: If this is how people are going to want to dress for at least the near future, what's the point of investing half a million bucks in an aspiring couturier?
LVMH isn't the first to ride this wave. While it has invested in sneakers and entrusted Abloh with its most important brand, the company's biggest competitor, Kering, is already profiting off of the streetwear movement. Reuters recently reported that Kering-owned Balenciaga, helmed by Vetements designer Demna Gvasalia, is the fastest-growing label in the company portfolio, mostly on the strength of chunky-sneaker sales. The fashion industry as a whole seems to be all in on streetwear, too. Recall that Doublet's win fits in neatly with another surprising victory this week: Supreme taking home the CFDA award for Menswear Designer of the Year.
Strikingly, both of these brands have been around for a while. Supreme was founded in 1994 and Doublet in 2012. Given that fact, it doesn't feel as if these brands have changed so much as the fashion industry has evolved to envelop them. And while it might seem insider-y to divine the future of fashion in an emerging-designer competition, consider another high-profile finalist for the LVMH prize. Back in 2015, Virgil Abloh lost out to Marques Almeida. Just three years later, he's one of the most important designers at LVMH. In Doublet, LVMH surely hopes it's found another designer that will show it the future.

If you would describe yourself as 'affluent', or in modern parlance as an HNWI (High Net Worth Individual), wealth management could be vital to your future finances.

An extremely valuable medieval chess piece, one of the five missing Lewis Chessmen, has recently been discovered in a drawer by a family in Edinburgh.

CollectionsIs Gold an Investment to Treasure?
The lure of gold is legendary, but are we fooling ourselves if we treat it as a sensible choice for the modern investor? It pays to understand why for hundreds of years it was the foundation of all wealth, and why it's perhaps a different type of investment today. The use of gold in the form of coins probably dates back to Egypt in 500BC, at a time when the intrinsic value of the metal had long been established through its use in jewellery. The History...

CollectionsWhy Wristwatches Will Always Be Timeless
Despite the rise of the mobile phone and smartwatch, traditional wristwatches are by no means obsolete. In fact, driven by the passion of many small, individual designers, there's a powerful movement to bring back the wristwatch as a statement of style, personality and individuality. One of the most striking stories is that of Atelier Wen, a young brand formed by a team of French and Chinese designers with the aims of taking high-quality Chinese mechanical watches into the mainstream. It's an open secret that even in a...
Art FocusCelebrating the 500th Anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci
Arguably, the world's two most famous paintings are da Vinci's Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Certainly these images, and those of the Vitruvian Man, are indelibly etched in the collective consciousness of anyone with an interest in art, science or culture. Though born into an age of great possibilities, da Vinci remained, as Sigmund Freud described him, "Like a man who awoke too early in the darkness, while the others were all still asleep." His restless mind, forever hopping from one project to another,...

We launched our standard Seed Money line back in 2012 to a tremendous response. Everyone loves the novelty of discovering that each paper coin conceals real live seeds. They'll grow wildflowers, herbs, salad greens, or root crops. Just plant and water!
We've since produced many custom and promotional editions of Seed Money coins for all sorts of companies and organizations. There's room for a logo, taglines, or a witty message on the actual coins (and/or on the packaging); and plenty of opportunities for word play involving the concepts of growth, change, wealth, etc.. There are also endless options for customization: a full range of paper and ink colors, as well as various sizes and shapes.

Black ink works best, but other colors are available (one color per side).
Minimum custom run is 500 tokens per design.
Promotional mixes of our standard Trade Tokens are also available with branding options on the packaging.
Trade Tokens work great as quick one-off handouts (loose) or as a more significant gift in packaged sets of perhaps six or more tokens. We've also designed more elaborate packaging options for specific situations.
Cotton sack, 3+ tokens per unit, custom ink stamp and optional tag.
Feel free to give us an assignment or propose a creative challenge. Or simply tell us a little bit about your promo idea and your audience. We'll get back to you with a quote and fresh ideas that we guarantee you won't hear from anyone else.
We've worked with organizations large and small, serious and playful!

Regional School of Fine Arts, Caen, France
Patio and Garden
The architect Guadet might have told his architecture students at the School of Fine Arts at the end of the 19th century that "a school is a courtyard. And a School of Fine Arts consists of courtyards…and gardens."
The proposed site for the Regional School of Fine Arts in Caen means that we are obliged to take the future Hall for Contemporary Music into account. We are convinced that the Regional School of Fine Arts should take the form of a kind of landscape, or organic background, that should only be revealed as a complex architectural design that frames and sets off the urban environment around it when seen from close to, and, after that, when seen from the inside.
The project proposes to build an "organic screen" that will form the façade onto the esplanade. This screen will unify the façade, while allowing glimpses to be had of the life of the building behind it through various frames, casements and openings. Behind this giant screen are four landscaped courtyard areas, one of which will be closed off beneath a glass roof and will form the entrance and cafeteria area for the School as a whole.
The three other courtyards will take the form of gardens that are open to the sky. This design of courtyard-gardens behind the panels of the screen produces sheltered, interior landscapes giving enhanced views out over the town. The activities of the future Fine Arts School will be organized around these courtyard areas.
The project consists of the juxtaposition of two separate layers:
• a sober fixed architectural layer
• a more mobile landscape layer the latter seeming to invade the former and to anchor it in the town.

Competition isometric projection, 2005
Place au 'Jardin des Arts'
The landscaped garden serving as an 'esplanade des arts' is at the heart of the design of the future Presqu'ile.
This garden will see the development of fruitful cooperation between the fine arts school, the music hall and the temporary exhibition structures. Music performances, performances of the performing arts and art exhibitions will take place in the garden during festivals and exhibition periods, a large screen wall in steel and wood closing off the eastern side of the space.
Behind this screen, covered with the growth of vegetation, lie the landscaped courtyards, around which are the school's workshops. Facing north, these benefit from the peace of the planted courtyard areas.
The quality of the light, entering through the vertical blades of the courtyard spaces, is the key to the whole. Everything has been done to ensure that natural light is available everywhere in the building, despite the compact nature of the brief and the demanding character of the terrain.
This publication shows how a variety of different areas, workshops, techniques, practices and spaces divided up across the town can be brought together in a complicated brief and a building constructed on a site that is at once complex and stimulating. It also shows how the vision entertained by Jean-Jacques Passera, of a major arts school having a European dimension, has been realized.
Today, in the autumn of 2009, everything is in place for the Presqu'ile, with its new garden areas and the activities that go with them, to become one of the most stimulating areas of the town. Don't forget the garden that is underway. The success of the 'jardin des arts' depends on it. architectural layer, and a more mobile landscape layer, the latter seeming to invade the former and to anchor it in the town.

One reflection of the Obama economic decline was the stark drop in labor participation rate over the 8 years of the Obama presidency. Under Obama, Americans exhausted themselves in the search for opportunity, and millions of them simply gave up. This is why the official "unemployment rates" gave a deceptively mild impression of the US employment picture under Obama.
Since the 2016 US national elections, public and business optimism have risen — as have the labor participation rates.
Obama embraced the stagnating policies of a proto-socialist economy and regulatory/taxation scheme. As a result, the US economy stagnated, entrepreneurs had fewer opportunities, and workers had to search long and hard for the jobs that would have been readily available under a different bureaucratic regime.
Under Trump, paradoxically even the population groups which rejected the Donald wholesale at the polls have benefited in the job markets (see table above).
Socialist stagnation in the age of postmodernism hurts every aspect of a society — from its economy to its education to its culture to its future goals and aspirations. The Obama path was a dead-end road, which was clear to the brighter and more observant contingent of observers from 2008 onward. Tying an entire society up in chains of regulations designed to suffocate free thought, free enterprise, and freedom of association and action, is no way to bring about prosperity and expansive innovation.
The biggest win for the US in 2016 was the defeat of Hillary Clinton in a tacit rebuke to the Obama dead-end path. That was a lucky strike in itself — but even more, Trump has proven himself to be a remarkably clear headed manager of ground-level economic activity. The US president seems to intuit the nuts and bolts of the bureaucratic policies that need tweaking, adjusting, and abolishing outright.
There is no such thing as clear sailing ahead for the seas which Barack Obama (and Bush and Clinton and Bush) prepared for the future of the US. We should expect storm after storm after storm.
Many highly influential billionaires in the US and abroad were able to profit handsomely from the Obama policies, even as the US people languished. These billionaires and their lackeys in the media would like a return to those halcion days of corruption.
For US workers, the best bet is to make yourself multi-competent in ways that cannot be easily outsourced to low wage countries. Develop practical skills of both high tech and low tech varieties, in order to be prepared for several eventualities.

South Sudan civil unrest took too many destructive wrong turns since its outbreak on December 15, 2013 and the world is not doing enough to quell and reverse this manmade tragedy.
Contributor's Opinion

By Lul Gatkuoth Gatluak,
A crying child from war-torn South Sudan(Photo: file)
October 3, 2017(Nyamilepedia) —— The crisis in South Sudan has taken too many dangerous wrong turns since its outbreak in 2013. Its gravity and magnitude acceleration had affected innocent South Sudanese people enormously, particularly the gravity of the abuses and ethnic dynamics that accompany the abuses. Thousands of people had already perished and yet thousands more will keep perishing if final inclusive peace is not found within the shortest time possible. From the beginning of its start, all horrors it generated had extensively and publicly been documented by the international entities like the United Nations, African Union, and non-governmental organizations such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.
The first destructive wrong turn South Sudan civil war had taken was when Salva Kiir private army whom he trained secretly on the watchful eyes of Paul Malong Awan, a governor at the time who later on was promoted to Chief of General Staffs of South Sudan armed forces and now fell off with Salva Kiir and face house arrest, kill Nuer civilians in Juba for three days after Salva Kiir had decided to settle the political disagreement within the SPLM-party through the use of force. In regard to that discriminative killing in Juba, opposition responded by waging a guerrilla warfare in Upper Nile region. After few rounds of barbaric confrontation, especially in Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile States, Salva Kiir's government was furious to retaliate against SPLM/A-IO hit-and-run attacks on their forces.
As the conflict spread to largest cities of Bor, Bentiu and Malakal, and both sides engaged in large scale offensive and counteroffensives with some key towns changing hands multiple times, the violence triggered horrific attacks on civilians, massive destruction of property and prompted mass displacement to the UNMISS bases. In those engagements, many civilians were killed in both government and rebel held areas. Some civilians were apparently killed for the reason that they are sympathizing with rebels. This include the killing of civilians at the United Nations compounds like the killing of 140 civilians in Bor town on April 17, 2014 and the killing of unarmed 192 Nuer trainee in Mapel on April 21, 2014.
As those skirmishes continued, the parties to the conflict were also pushed by the regional and international communities to engage in negotiation in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. That negotiation resulted to the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan in 2015. Both IGAD regional States and the international community forced the parties to sign the agreement on August 17 and 26, 2015 respectively; aiming of sharing power and establishing a transitional government of national unity where Riek Machar who was Salva Kiir former deputy has to resume his previous Vice-presidency position.
The document has further indicated that, 325 members of the national parliament will be maintained and those who defected to rebel during the crisis will be reinstated to their previous parliamentary positions like it was before December 15, 2013. Ten cabinet positions, three State governors, and some additional parliamentarians will be appointed by the IO and other political parties until when a new election is scheduled at the end of 33 month transitional period. The Agreement had also stipulated that, cantonment sites will have to be established, SPLA-IG and IO have to be reintegrated, justice and reconciliation mechanisms had to be set up to provide accountability, and most importantly, a Hybrid Court for South Sudan (HCSS) had to be established in order to try genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and other serious crimes parties to the conflict had committed since the war broke out on December 15, 2013.
Moreover, ARCSS established a Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (JMEC), which is tasked to supervise the implementation of the agreement, ceasefire, and Transitional Security Arrangement Monitoring Mechanism (CTSAMM) to monitor violations of the peace agreement by the parties. Those agreements were just jot down on the paper, the government was not adhered to ensure their full implementation for numerous reasons. First, when the peace was signed on August 17, 2015 in Addis Ababa Ethiopia, Salva refused to sign. He only initialized the peace agreement after Uhuru Kenyatta prevented him from leaving the hall.
On August 18th, Salva delegated James Wani Igga to Uganda to consult with Museveni to see whether Museveni who left Addis Ababa before Riek Machar and Pagan Amum signed the peace agreement will agree with their refusal to sign. On following Monday, August 26, 2015; Salva signed the peace in Juba, after Yoweri Museveni told them both regional and international communities are unified on the idea of signing the resolution of the conflict document and nothing else.
However, on October 2, 2015 Salva Kiir unilaterally decreed the unconstitutional establishment order NO. 36/2015 for creation of 28 States a decision opposition opposed. Although creation of 28 States violates the Peace Agreement that was signed on the basis of 10 States, JCE perceived it as a strategy dominate others and the country's natural resources. JCE and Kiir annexed other communities' ancestral land to their tribe without consent or knowledge of the owners of the land.
Instead of finding the solution of the 28 States' issue, Riek Machar and his group were pressured to return to Juba. When he landed to Juba on April 26, 2016, fighting did not ceased, it slowly was escalating and spread to areas previously untouched by the conflict in 2013. Due to the government abuses, armed groups emerged in Greater Bahre-el-Ghazal and the Greater Equatoria regions, given that the ethnic dimension that was first planned to target only the Nuer ethnicity had later been planed against other ethnic groups who were suspected of supporting the opposition. For example, civilians in Juba, Yei, Yambio and Wau; were unlawfully killed, rapes, tortured and their properties were looted before the government forces can ransack and destructively set fire on their shelters.
Finally, the hope of preserving peace dashed when violence broke out on July 8, 2016 at presidential palace (J1) on Friday. That mark the beginning of another senseless war in South Sudan. The fingers are largely pointed on President Salva Kiir and his JCE backers as the primary instigators of renewed violence. Due to anti-peace planned and coordinated efforts of assassination attempt on First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar. All these activities fulfilled Salva Kiir skepticism on the peace agreement, which was the reason he refused to sign the peace on August 17, 2015 in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. It also was the reason why on Sunday July 10, 2016, President Kiir ordered SPLA-IG to launch an attack on SPLA-IO bases at Jebel and demolishing the First Vice President residence. At that juncture, Dr. Riek and his forces were dislodged to the bushes of Equatoria region. They continued to chase him up to the border of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) using helicopter gunships, drones, tanks fully-equipped ground forces. Then, in the absent of Dr. Riek, Kiir appointed Taban Deng Gai to replace Dr. Riek Machar as the new First Vice President. Such an appointment made it very clear that the Agreement on the resolution of the conflict on the Republic of South Sudan (ARCISS) was dead killed by Kiir and buried by Taban Deng Gai. While Dr. Riek was chased away, the government had also fired many rounds of bullets at American diplomat vehicles, fortunately, no one was hurt, except the rape of their aid workers at hotels in Juba town.
This year, Kiir and Taban decided to control all areas under rebel in Wau, Equatoria and some part of Upper Nile region. That is why horrible atrocities are being committed on innocent civilians in Waat, Maiwut and Pagak. The attack on Maiwut and Pagak by Salva Kiir and Taban Deng soldiers had generate some confusion in Border between South Sudan and Ethiopia. Informants on the ground provide different accounts on the incidence.
On one hand, it is being communicated that Ethiopian army had involved in South Sudanese internecine fighting in favor of helping tyranny regime when Nhial Batoang and Bol Ruach fighters were uprooted in Pagak. On another, it is said Ethiopian authority demanded to disarm Taban and Kiir fighters once the later had entered Ethiopian territory or let them remain on the side of South Sudan land. Up to this moment, there is no clear explanation whether Taban/Kiir forces had cooperated with the Ethiopian authority or they refused their warnings. They only stationed in some part of Pagak without clear indication of what would happen when the two sides had clashed again.
The news about Ethiopian involvement in gunfight against rebels during the fighting in Pagak surprise many people among the Nuer society who are the citizens of both countries. Nobody know whether current regime will repeat the same mistake colonel Mengistu Haile Mariam Communist military junta had made in 1980s when it formed alliance with John Garang who began to wage guerrilla warfare against Sudan. Mengistu/ Garang deal immediately had a greater effect on Gaat-Jaak Nuer Ethiopian citizens given that Mengistu Soviet-backed Ethiopian government stay aloaf while sophisticated weapons passing through his totalitarian regime territory were used against unarmed civilians. Aimlessly, Gaat-Jaak civilians were massacred for four painful years. Such horrible dejavu Gaat-Jaak had experienced under derg regime seem to be on the edge of reoccurring if Ethiopia will not calculate the status quo correctly.
Such an issue require Gaat-Jaak on the side of Ethiopia and those (IO) members to figure out how their children who turned enemy can be removed in Pagak town without jeopardizing the relation in the border. . Their removable in that location is the only solution that will prevent further bloodshed in days ahead and those who can play importance role in such an action would be our sons and daughters on the side of Ethiopia given their pivotal role in the Ethiopian government. The reason why Ethiopian government has provided Ethiopian-Nuer with an autonomous political administration is to protect their territories for any intruder who can bring danger to their midst.
Maiwut and Pagak are bounded together with Gambella region by a sense of solidarity and wished to perpetuate this solidarity through some political means. This solidarity is guided with common objective factors such as history, territorial integrity, ethnicity, culture and the language of the people in our common border.
Due to the above mentioned factors, there is a special relationship among the people of Gambella and greater Gaat-Jaak territories on the side of South Sudan which enabled the people to cooperate politically. This time around, there are practices we need to avoid. For instance, in 1983 Thokwaath Pal was made head of the Gambella regional chief security using political maneuver that resulted into the birth of the SPLM/A. Although such a contribution have had a greater political impact on the nation building, it surely had a negative effect on the Nuer society given that he was helping non-Nuer politician to secure power in the midst of Nuer majority at that early stage of the movement inception. Gaat-Jaak sons/daughters in Ethiopia, need to avoid making the same mistake and stood with policies that promote interest of South Sudan government which is being led by the very same people who massacred their loved ones in early 1980s.
If there is no careful analysis in place from patriotic sons and daughters of Gaat-Jaak Nuer in Ethiopia, no matter how active participation of sacrifices they had made in Ethiopia politics, the region will be just a subject of intense geographical greedy, rivalry, and military power calculation where unwanted politicians comes and practices their dirty games. Nuer children in Ethiopia need to understand that their becoming self-governing body in Gambella region involve striving for the welfare of their fellow Nuer on the side of South Sudan. Their political participation has to be a backbone dynamic of change and greater good of our common heritage.
In regard of the above socio-political, security, economic, and dire humanitarian's crisis, nobody know whether these wrong turns will stop. Let only hope for best miracle that may save our civil-population in shortest time possible can happen.

Q: How to access attributes of custom components in react native expo cli I created a button component in new file and imported it to my main file and called it as . I want to access attributes and styles such as onClick function of button component from my main file.
//Separate custom component

import { StatusBar } from "expo-status-bar";
import {StyleSheet, Text, View, Pressable, TouchableOpacity} from 'react-native';

export default function home(){
    return(
        <View >
            <Pressable>
                <TouchableOpacity style = {styles.buttonContainer}>
                    <Text style = {styles.buttonTitle}>Sign in</Text>
                </TouchableOpacity>
            </Pressable>
        </View>
    )
}

------------------------------------------------------------------

//Main file

import  ButtonComponent from "../components/button_component";

export default function home(){
    return(
        <View style = {styles.homeContainer}>
            <Text style = {styles.head}>Book App Login</Text>
            <View style = {styles.buttonComponent}>
                <ButtonComponent/>
            </View>
        </View>
    )
}

A: So from what I can see, your separate component is also called home right now and should be named button_component so you can import is as ButtonComponent.
Change:
export default function home(){

to
export default function button_component(){

As far as how to access the attributes in a custom component - you don't. You include them inside of the custom button component.
So if I wanted to put an onPress print "hello" I would include it in the custom component.
import { StatusBar } from "expo-status-bar";
import {StyleSheet, Text, View, Pressable, TouchableOpacity} from 'react-native';

export default function home(){
    return(
        <View >
                <TouchableOpacity style={styles.buttonContainer} onPress={console.log("Hello}>
                    <Text style={styles.buttonTitle}>Sign in</Text>
                </TouchableOpacity>
        </View>
    )
}

And when I add that custom component to a new file, the custom component prop will not needed to be added to the new page - it inherits it.
**Also side note - the style is usually typed style={styles.something} without the spaces and you also do not have a stylesheet on either page so it wouldn't be able to find "styles.something" unless you just didn't include it.
**You also don't need to wrap TouchableOpacity in a Pressable. :) You can just use TouchableOpacity alone.

Strategy to implement the Istanbul Convention adopted
okt 2, 2015 | News
Bosnia and Herzegovina adopted its Framework Strategy for the implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (hereinafter referred to as: the Strategy).
The purpose of the Strategy is to provide for a consistent, high-quality and effective implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (hereinafter: the Convention) in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). The Convention was adopted on 11 May 2011 in Istanbul. Following a series of Council of Europe recommendations related to protection from violence and the prohibition of gender-based discrimination, aimed at setting common goals and determining minimum common standards for state parties which were not legally binding, the Convention is now the first legally binding document of the Council of Europe in the field of preventing and combating violence against women. By its nature, this document is not necessarily directly applicable in signatory countries but it requires the signatories to conduct a specific harmonization of their legal and institutional framework for the purpose of a successful implementation of the Convention.
B&H ratified the Convention on 7 November 2013, thereby becoming the sixth member of the Council of Europe to ratify the Convention. By this, B&H committed itself to take legislative and other measures to provide for the legal, institutional and organizational framework for the prevention of violence against women, protection of victims of violence and sanctioning of perpetrators. The Strategy constitutes a comprehensive framework that defines the manner in which the Convention will be implemented in B&H and the way in which the legal and institutional framework will be harmonized with the Convention. Furthermore, it also defines the priorities in the field of preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, identifies responsible institutions, and introduces the framework of monitoring and reporting on the implementation of the Strategy and the Convention.
This Strategy defines the strategic measures and determines the commitment of B&H institutions to strategic actions with a view to preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence.

5 arrested in Bangladesh after 3 children beaten to death
DHAKA: Five men have been arrested after three children were beaten to death at a juvenile detention centre in Bangladesh, police said on Sunday (Aug 16), the latest case to shed light on the treatment of minors in such institutions.
Eighteen boys allegedly had their mouths stuffed with towels and beaten with steel pipes, sticks and cricket stumps after attacking and breaking the hand of a guard at the facility, a police spokesman told AFP.
"Eighteen children were beaten for an hour around noon by the officials and several other children," police inspector Mohammad Rokibuzzaman said on Thursday.
"The injured were initially given first aid. But when one of them was brought dead to a hospital at 6.30pm, the hospital alerted us. Then two more … died," he said.
The bodies of the three boys showed signs of torture and beatings, Rokibuzzaman said, adding they were hit to "teach them a lesson".
Two others remained in a critical condition, he said. Their ages were not released.
The five – the centre's head, two teachers and a counsellor – were detained late on Saturday amid an ongoing investigation, police said. Eight children were also being held for taking part in the beatings.
About 280 boys are institutionalised at the Children Development Centre in the western city of Jessore. They were either convicted or awaiting prosecution for crimes from minor thefts to rapes and murders.
"The sirs (centre staff) and other children inmates beat us with steel pipes and wood sticks as if we were dogs," one of the other boys who was beaten, Jabed Hossain, told the Bangla Tribune.
"When we passed out, some of us were left under a tree and others sent to their rooms. When we regained consciousness, we were beaten again."
Bangladesh has three such "rehabilitation" facilities – two for boys and one for girls.
But Abdus Shahid, the head of child rights' group Bangladesh Shishu Odhikar Forum, told AFP the children were "barely developed or corrected there".
"Instead many of them face physical and sexual abuse."
In 2015, the government suspended the head of another centre after 20 boys slashed their wrists during a protest after they were allegedly tortured by a staff member.
"Independent mechanisms to monitor child detention centres should be established so that these children don't face such appalling tragedy," rights activist Rezaur Rahman Lenin told AFP.

The altair vCell filter products for offshore application provide best-in-class turbine protection against corrosives and enhanced protection against moisture with their unique combination of hydrophobic properties and high efficiency protection. Developed to provide extended availability of key gas turbine assets, the vCells' high dust-holding capacity helps prolong filter life and significantly lowers operating costs. The filters are designed for low pressure loss to enable increased power output and availability.
The altair vCells are made using fully potted pleated panels to provide a complete seal and is mounted within an ABS plastic frame. Protective grids incorporated on the downstream surface deliver robust performance, even in high under-pressure conditions, which can be experienced in gas turbine applications. A specially designed closed cell, single-piece continuous gasket seals the rear contact surface of the filter frame against the holding frame of the filter house. The incorporated gasket stop protects the gasket against over compression during installation. This helps eliminate the possibility of air or water bypassing the filters when in service.

Are Women Drinking More And… So What?
By Maryanne Zeleznik • Jul 10, 2018
By 2016, the number of women binge drinking climbed to 20 percent (up from 15 percent).
As society loosens its restrictions on gender roles, it seems the stigma around women drinking alcohol has vanished. According to the National Institutes of Health, drinking habits among women and men are becoming more alike, which could be putting women at greater risk for a variety of alcohol-related dangers. One of the key risk factors is addiction, but another health concern is the link between drinking and the risk for breast cancer.
Joining Cincinnati Edition to discuss women and drinking are writer Sarah Stankorb; University of Cincinnati Cancer Institute Professor of Medicine and Breast Cancer Center Medical Director Dr. Elyse Lower; and Beckett Springs Director of Assessment Darcy Lichnerowicz.
Tune in to "Cincinnati Edition" July 10 at 1 p.m. to hear this segment.

Dry January: What A Month Of Sobriety Can Reveal
Dry January, a 31-day break from alcohol, began in Britain and started to gain popularity a few years ago. It is now a government-sponsored public health campaign there. And it has been a steadily growing movement in the United States, as more people here enter the new year with a commitment to swear-off alcohol for the month.


Nothing will start your day off better than a good pastry. America is the home of the doughnut, the cronut (they're delicious) and bear claws. We know our pastries and, to honor those pastries, we are going to discuss a pastry manufacturing plant that will be going up in Vineland, New Jersey. The company establishing that facility is Bridor Inc., an international bread and pastry manufacturer. They make everything from baguettes to croissants and danishes and they are looking to re-establish themselves in Vineland with a $32 million expansion.
The project will transform the baking facility that currently exists in Vineland into a more flexible facility where Bridor will be able to produce a majority of their bread and pastry products (such as croissants). And, unlike most food produced in factories Bridor will strive to use locally sourced ingredients. The expansion was deemed necessary by the company in order to meet current market demands.
Jean-Francois Duquesne, the CEO of Bridor, expects the facility to add just under 50 jobs. Those jobs will come in the form of local engineers and quality control managers according to the South Jersey Times. Duquesne, in a statement to the media, detailed that a search for employees is currently ongoing even though the facility expansion has not yet started.
While most of the capital for the expansion came from Bridor, the French based bakery had some significant help from Vineland. Thanks to local economic development director Sandy Forinsky, the city contributed $5 million to the $32 million project in an effort to keep the bakery in town. Duquesne seemed ecstatic about the investment and further elaborated on what Bridor hopes to bring to the region.
With over $32 million being poured into the facility expansion the project could be a major coup for local contractors. And, who knows, you may be able to get a few pastries on top of a quality contract.


BSI has published the draft international standard of ISO 45001 Occupational health and safety management systems – Requirements and is seeking comments until April 15. This is an occupational health and safety management system standard written with the ultimate aim of replacing OHSAS 18001.
Occupational health and safety continues to be a priority across the world with the International Labour Organization (ILO) citing 6,300 people dying every day as a result of occupational accidents or work-related diseases. This equates to estimated losses of four per cent of global gross domestic product each year.
Although OHSAS 18001 is widely used internationally, it is not a full international standard, said BSI.
"By working with a far wider range of countries and also the ILO, it is hoped that greater harmony will be achieved globally allowing further confidence down the supply chain and ultimately saving lives," BSI said.
The international committee which developed ISO 45001 includes experts from over 50 countries and 20 liaison bodies, all with knowledge and practical experience of occupational health and safety issues and the challenges faced. The new standard is based on the core structure and common text developed by ISO for all of its management system standards , taking into account the requirements of the current OHSAS 18001, other national standards (including those from the United States, China and Canada) and the ILO instruments — OHS guidelines adopted by hundreds of countries across the world.
ISO 45001 will help provide a single, clear framework for organizations of all types and sizes that wish to improve their OHS performance and protect those working on their behalf or who may be affected by the organization's activities, said BSI. This includes any organization beyond that of sole trader — and those organizations working with multiple contractors, multiple sites and volunteers or temporary staff.
•less prescriptive requirements which direct organizations to design a management system uniquely suited to each organization's occupational health and safety needs.
ISO 45001 has been developed using a collaborative, consensus-based approach taking into account the views of large and small organizations, government bodies, trades unions and worker representative organizations.
Following the three month ballot, and a comments resolution period, publication of the final standard is anticipated towards the end of 2016.
The draft of the standard is available here https://drafts.bsigroup.com/Home/Details/55801.
