Aquabox is a charity sending water filters and aid to areas around the world affected by war, poverty earthquakes and adverse weather conditions.
Aquabox approached Aquaman Design in November 2016 requesting a replacement for their old site. The site they had looked out of date and was difficult to navigate.
So, Aquaman Design set about designing and building a new site.
The new site required one major piece of functionality. A donate form. Not only did this need to integrate with Paypal donations it also needed to stand out so that users could find it and make a donation easily.
The form needed to be able to accept online and offline payments, as well as able to accept one off and recurring payments. It also needed to record users address if they wanted to GiftAid their donation.
Other requirements for the site were to make news and events a major feature of the site. So it was decided to make this a major part of the home page. The home page shows the latest 3 news and events articles in two separate columns, which collapse down to one column on a mobile.
The site is now live and accepted over £5,000 in online donations alone.
We are extremely pleased with the results for the Aquabox site. Training has now been provided allowing administrators at Aquabox to easily update the news and events as well as images on the home page and across the site.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) provides hope for couples that are unable to achieve pregnancy on their own. With this unique fertility treatment Cheap AS Roma Jersey , females who have always suffered from infertility issues or who are simply a little older now have reproductive assistance to help them get pregnant.
Of course, just hearing the words "IVF treatment" can be scary and confusing for many couples. If you're thinking about exploring the possibilities of IVF treatment, it's safe to assume that you have a number of questions.
That's okay. It's all right to be a little apprehensive. Hopefully, the questions and answers in this article will help you learn a bit more about the procedure so you can feel self-confident moving forward and setting up an appointment with a local IVF clinic.
One of the first questions people ask about IVF treatment is "Is it safe?"
As with any other medical procedure, there are some risks with IVF treatment. However Cheap Arsenal Jersey , most IVF risks are minimal and mild. For example, ovary stimulation can sometimes cause a state where the ovaries are swollen and painful. This might lead to nausea, lack of appetite, or vomiting. Severe symptoms only occur in about 1 percent of cases, according to the American Pregnancy Association.
Another question people usually ask is "How productive is IVF?"
There is no simple answer to this question. The success of treatment depends on the patient's physiology Cheap AC Milan Jersey , the physician's skill, and a number of other factors. To give yourself the best chance of success, you need to choose an infertility clinic with an experienced physician who is comfortable with a range of fertility treatments. In some cases, IVF is probably not the right treatment for helping you achieve pregnancy.
Many sufferers also ask "Are there alternatives to IVF?"
Yes, there are many different treatments available for helping females achieve pregnancy. For example Cheap Borussia Dortmund Jersey , there is IVM (in vitro maturation)-a natural routine variant of in vitro fertilization. This treatment is usually best for younger sufferers with a PCO pattern in their ovaries. It costs less than IVF, and it's more convenient and less painful too.
Another alternative is called Mini-stim IVF. This is a variation of standard IVF treatment that can be helpful for overcoming sperm troubles and any tubal problem. It's also less expensive and more convenient than regular IVF.
Some patients ask "Can I afford IVF?"
The truth is that IVF treatment can be fairly costly. Another concern is that plenty of insurance plans don't cover this treatment, so sufferers are forced to pay out of pocket. Thankfully, some clinics offer financing options, and there are ever some exclusive foundations created to help pay for IVF treatment for those who may not be able to afford it.
And of course Wholesale Soccer Jerseys , there are also the alternative treatments to IVF which you should consider exploring. In many cases, you may be able to get better results with a less expensive treatment.
The key is to make sure you choose the right infertility clinic and gather as much information as you can before settling on any treatment.
The latest update to Google's Translate mobile app extends the reach of Chinese mainland users beyond a Web-based version of the translation service, the US search giant said on Thursday, downplaying renewed speculation about its mainland comeback.
"The Web-version of Google Translate has always been accessible in [the market], and now Google Translate has been updated to version 5.8 on Android and iOS Wholesale Jerseys From China , [which] is an extension of Google's translation service that has always been available to [Chinese mainland] users," Google told the Global Times on Thursday.
A low-key update of Google's Translate mobile app on Wednesday seems to have beefed up anticipation that Google might return to the Chinese mainland after a withdrawal from the market in 2010.
Finally the translation service has been made available without using a VPN, a user named "MXHJWAY" commented Wednesday on Apple's App Store. "Does this mean it plans to launch its [mainland] comeback?"
The app comes across as being well-received, with many users speaking highly of its augmented reality feature, Word Lens Wholesale Jerseys China , that enables instant translation of text out of a photo.
The fresh speculation followed recent reports that Google Scholar will be the vanguard of the US search giant's much-speculated attempt to re-enter the Chinese mainland market. "The academic sector will be the first to get through," Liu Binjie, a lawmaker and former head of the General Administration of Press and Publication, was quoted as saying in a South China Morning Post article, speaking of Google's return.
Analysts Wholesale Jerseys , however, are less optimistic about Google's mainland return in the foreseeable future.
Google has pinned big hopes on China's domestic market and hopes to cultivate mainland user stickiness by efforts such as the availability of Google Translate on mobile devices, Zhao Ziming, an analyst with Analysys International, a Beijing-based Internet consultancy Cheap Soccer Jerseys From China , told the Global Times. But this doesn't mean Google's search services are anywhere close to returning to the mainland, Zhao said.

Anti-coup activists charged with 'interfering' in US raid on Venezuelan embassy
Four protesters arrested inside the Venezuelan embassy in Washington, DC have been released pending hearing – but could face up to a year in jail for trying to prevent a takeover of the building by the US-backed opposition.
Members of the Embassy Protection Collective have been released on various conditions after their arrest Thursday afternoon by heavily armed US police. The misdemeanor charge of "interfering with a federal law enforcement agent engaged in protective functions" carries a maximum sentence of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine, even though the activists and the Venezuelan government alike insist the US police had no right to enter the building.
The protesters are "looking forward to the trial," Kevin Zeese told journalist Anya Parampil after his release, adding that they planned to "make the case that there is a legitimate government, that the Vienna convention was violated, that this was an inappropriate and unlawful arrest."
Margaret Ann Flowers, Adrienne Pine, and David Vernon Paul were also released. They are due back in court on June 12.
Also on rt.com 'We fight too many wars!' Rev. Jackson denounces US militarism after Venezuela embassy raid
The judge ordered the protesters to steer clear of 10 locations now controlled by representatives of the Venezuelan opposition and check in weekly with authorities as a condition of their release. While the US government asked for their passports to be confiscated, that request was denied, though they must notify authorities if they plan to travel abroad.
The collective had been living in the building for over a month with permission of the Venezuelan foreign ministry, hoping to prevent it from falling into the hands of US-backed "interim president" Juan Guaido, whose operatives have taken possession of other Venezuelan diplomatic buildings after diplomats loyal to President Nicolas Maduro were forced to leave the country.
US authorities had also shut off power and water to the embassy and tried to block food deliveries to the protesters living inside, in a pale echo of the blackouts and sanction-imposed scarcity Washington has inflicted on actual Venezuelans in its ongoing campaign to force regime change in Caracas.
Also on rt.com 'Violation of Vienna Convention': Code Pink co-founder denounces police raid on Venezuela embassy
Venezuelan Vice Minister for North American Relations Carlos Ron condemned the raid, calling it an "unlawful breach of the Vienna Convention" and confirming the Venezuelan government did not authorize any US authorities to enter the building, which under international law is considered Venezuelan diplomatic property.

East Sussex Youth Cabinet supports campaign to tackle knife crime
THE county's Youth Cabinet has given its backing to a Sussex Police campaign to tackle the growing issue of knife crime.
With a vote among young people in East Sussex putting 'tackling knife crime' as their highest priority, Youth Cabinet member Holly Bobbett attended the launch of Operation Sceptre.
Speaking at the launch, which took place during national knife crime awareness week, East Sussex Youth Cabinet member, Holly said: "I want a better future for young people my age. I don't want to see more victims. I want to see more services available to prevent young people carrying knives.
"We all need to work together to make sure young people feel safe and understand the dangers and consequences. We need to invest in the next generation."
Sussex Police spent the knife crime awareness week visiting schools, colleges and youth events to educate young people about what they can do if they feel pressure to carry a knife and what to do if they feel in danger. They also held a knife amnesty.
Identified as a top priority by their peers, members of East Sussex Youth Cabinet have also launched their own campaign – Tackle Knife Crime.
The Youth Cabinet campaign, supported by the Sussex Police Community Fund, aims to survey young people about their fears and perceptions of knife crime.
The Youth Cabinet will also work with the local authorities, schools and Sussex Police to develop a film about the issue in the next few months. The film will include voices from young people from across the county to share their views on knife crime in a bid to tackle the growing issue.
The short film will be used in East Sussex County Council's #kNOwkives project which works with young people to help them make safe choices and with parents and professionals to help them understand the dangers and teach them strategies for dealing with knife crime issues.
The film will also be available for wider campaigns to highlight the issues.

The he Rhins O' Gallowa' Province retained the Kinnear Trophy, sponsored by Kinnear for Carpets, Port William, last Friday at Stranraer Ice Rink with a 20 shot win over their Galloway Province rivals.
The Rhins teams in this mixed event racked up a 57 to 37 shots victory over the two sessions, with most games being closely contested affairs.
The teams are traditionally entered in the name of one of the women in the rink, but although the teams must be alternate, the women do not have to skip the rink.
The highest-up club in the winning province was the Limekiln Loch Curling Club rink of Hugh Aitken, Jocelyn Bell, Peter JD Wilson and Beth Aitken, nine shots up. The highest-up team in the losing province were Glasserton Curling Club's team of James Maxwell, Louise Kerr, Tom Bell and Helen Vance who were three shots up.
At the close of play, Galloway Province President Drew Paton thanked everyone for taking part in the competition, commenting on the Kinnear family's long association with curling that was continuing through Callum Kinnear in the junior ranks of Scottish curling. He then congratulated the winners from Limekiln and asked Rhins Province secretary Janette Sloan to present the prizes of hampers of goodies from Galloway's Grocers in Whithorn to the winning province team and the losing province team.
Rhins Province vice-president Trevor Harrison then gave a general vote of thanks to the sponsors Kinnear for Carpets for their continuing support of the competition and to the two secretaries, Janette Sloan and Louise Kerr, for organising the rinks and the draw.
2.40pm - Mrs Helen Smith, Glasserton 6 Miss Katie Wright, Leswalt 7; Mrs Christine Cannon, Wigtown 5 Mrs Linda Shaw, Logan 3; Mrs Pam Woods, Penninghame 5 Mrs Janette Sloan, Loch ; Mrs Joyce Maitland, Minnigaff 2 Mrs Maureen Parker, Castle Kennedy 9.

Author Samie Sands tells all today at Readeropolis! Thanks for stopping by to check out the AM13 Outbreak Series (horror). We hope you enjoy the interview!
Be sure to enter for a chance to win the giveaway and follow the Silver Dagger tour. For other dates, see the link at the bottom of the post.
For the first book in the AM13 Outbreak series, I wrote the book I wanted to read. I'd read a lot of stories based in the zombie apocalypse and I found that the characters were always very capable. It made me wonder what would happen with an ordinary person trying to survive. Leah in Lockdown is normal, girl next door type without any skills to survive. Sometimes she's flawed and she doesn't always make the right choice, but that makes her more realistic.
Right now, I've just signed a contract for a completely different book. It's called Lottie Loves and it's very different from the zombie apocalypse in the AM13 Outbreak series. It's a romance book that looks at first loves and the idea of 'meant to be'. I'm not done with the zombie apocalypse though, I will be writing more!
I love Pokemon Go! Team Instinct, of course ?
I didn't know how to answer this one, so I asked my five year old daughter! This is what she said: sharing, cuddling, nice, helpful, and fun…not too bad!! ?


REAL MADRID star Gareth Bale should snub Manchester United this summer, Tony Cascarino claims.
The Wales international put Jose Mourinho on red alert after Real's Champions League final win against Liverpool, with the winger claiming he needs to get regular game time.
United are long-term admirers of Bale, 28, who netted twice against the Reds on Saturday night.
Express Sport understands Real are demanding £80m for Bale, who is ready to quit the Bernabeu this summer.
And pundit Cascarino says Bale should consider joining Liverpool, Manchester City or Tottenham over United, claiming Mourinho's tactics wouldn't suit the winger.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is keen to bolster his attacking ranks this summer as the Reds look to mount a Premier League title bid next season.
Lyon's Nabil Fekir is a target for the German, while Bale would also be welcomed at Anfield.

Iran wants to break two rules of nuclear agreement in the future
By Zubair Yaqoob

Hassan Rouhani has carefully dosed his provocation. Only two rules of the nuclear agreement agreed in 2015, according to the announcement of the Iranian president, would break his country from now on. First, Iran therefore wants to keep more fissile material (capable of sustaining a nuclear fission chain reaction) in stock. The pact stipulated that by the year 2031, at most 300 kilograms of low-enriched uranium should be stored in the country.
When the pact came into force in 2016, Iran had to part with about 98 percent of its stock at that time. From the government of the then American president Barak Obama It had been said that Iran could otherwise have processed the material into weapons-grade uranium for eight to ten bombs.
However, due to another clause of the agreement, Iran has only about one in four of its then about 20,000 gas centrifuges in operation.
As long as Iran submits to this restriction, it could not quickly accumulate a larger supply of low-enriched uranium at more than ninety percent, as would be necessary for bombs.
So far, Rouhani did not announced that it will violate the provision of the agreement, which states that the maximum level of enrichment is 3.67 percent.
Even the second rule break, which Rouhani announced, Iran does not make a quick trip to the atomic bomb. In the future, the state wants to produce and store more than 130 tons of water, which is allowed at atomic rate. It is needed for certain reactors, in the operation plutonium falls off – in addition to highly enriched uranium, a second possible path to the atomic bomb.
Because that's the way it had nuclear deal Iran is required to permanently shut down its only heavy water reactor in Arak. The reactor core was filled with concrete by the Iranians. The construction of a heavy water reactor for plutonium production would be very complicated and would take a long time.
However, Rouhani is threatening to take further steps if Europeans, Russians and Chinese do not find a way by the beginning of July to boost the Iranian oil export, which has almost been brought to a halt by American sanctions. Then Iran could re-run uranium enrichment in secret facilities and rebuild the heavy water reactor in Arak. So Iran could put itself back in the position to shorten its so-called breakout time to a few months – so again a kind of nuclear power on hold.
In 2015, the Iranians had admitted to the five UN-Veto powers and Germany on the mostly time-limited conditions, in return for trade and access to frozen foreign assets.
One year ago, however, the United States withdrew from the agreement. Against the opposition of their European partners, they imposed strict financial sanctions on Iran's businesses, including secondary sanctions. These cut off some European companies from the US market and from the reserve currency dollar when they do business with Iran.
Prominent European companies are afraid of the threat they face in world trade if they disregard American sanctions. Recently, the Americans announced that they would not extend any exemptions for countries to which they had initially admitted oil imports from Iran. That's why the nuclear deal is no longer attractive to Iran.


I really wanted to like Mainline. After all, it's a good SF thriller; full of explosions, double-crosses, sophisticated gadgetry and bisexual females… but the overall effect is more akin to ennui than to excitement.
As the novel opens, Reva is used to this kind of stuff. Good at her job, she doesn't have any friends (hard to keep'em when travelling across realities) nor any kind of moral fibre: He reaction to danger is to flee.
But, -ah-ha!- she soon hooks up with a girl called Lish and suddenly, it's not so easy to leave a reality behind. (Meanwhile, Lish has problems all of her own. Like a few million dollars worth of debt, and two assassins with contracts on her life. But that's later on.) A lot of potential there for a thoughtful exploration of tenacity and friendship: Actual execution is only fair, with moments of brilliance and others of mere adequacy.
At 374 pages, Mainline is too long; a few subplots could have been axed, to be replaced by other threads if necessary. Characters are okay, and so is the ending. My lukewarm reaction to this book doesn't mean that this is an inferior novel… just that subjective opinions can, and are, less than constant.
I felt that Reva's almost-magical psi-power was a bit misused (a usual problem with psi-powers) but that the various gadgets were fairly imaginative, and sure to be stolen by some movie in the near future. Miss Christian (love the name 🙂 ) writes mean action scenes, once the reader is immersed in her prose.
I do not enthusiastically recommend Mainline, but neither do I really recommend avoiding it. Call it "a foreign movie" on the Sid-and-Nancy scale, and a "Borrow it if there's nothing else to read" rating on the library scale.


When it comes to women's heart health, it's easy to sit back and think, "I don't have to worry about that…that's just for men." After all, you have other things to worry about, right? Sure, you might have a busy schedule. So you might have missed the news on this, but heart health is just as important for you as it is for your husband.
Plus, heart health is the foundation of overall wellness. So if you want to feel great, keep up with your family and grandkids, and never feel a day over 30, it's absolutely vital to give your heart the support it needs.
And taking the time to find the right women's heart health supplements can make all the difference. In the amount of time it takes to swallow a pill – less time than it takes to put on makeup – you can help protect your heart with heart health supplements for women. So whether you're looking for healthier blood pressure, cholesterol, CRP levels, or even just overall cardiovascular health – we have what you need to live better.

Helping patients stay adherent to their medication is one of the top ways pharmacists can improve quality measures, health outcomes and decrease overall health care costs. When patients miss doses of their medications, the medications do not work properly and mortality and morbidity increases.
Some strategies for improving adherence include providing education, engaging social networks and setting reminders or automated alerts such as on a smartphone or app. A study recently published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research3 showed that mobile apps help to improve medication adherence, even for older adults who may lack experience with smartphones, computers or the internet.
1. Mango Health (free). The app features a schedule for creating reminders, drug interaction warnings, refill alerts, and a diary. There is also a gamified points system; take your medication and earn points, earn enough and you could win prizes.
2. MyMeds Medication Management (free). MyMeds can send reminders by email and text, as well as push notifications if you'd rather receive info in your inbox. It also has a feature that helps you become more informed about why you are on certain treatments. One of the biggest perks is that it enables you to invite family, friends and your health care team to view and help with your progress.
3. MediSafe Meds and Pills Reminder (free). MediSafe can be integrated with HealthKit (iPhone) to keep track of blood glucose, blood pressure, and weight and can even save reports as PDFs. The app also helps users discover more about food and drug interactions. There's also a fun side to this offering too, though. How about setting your alert tones so Darth Vader or Austin Powers tell you when to take your meds?
4. Dosecast Medication Reminder (free). Dosecast has a wide range of sounds and options for their notifications: repeating signals after a certain time, continuous signal lasting as long as you do not hear and do not come running to turn it off, and even a postpone option. With this app you can schedule your medication daily, weekly or monthly and set maximum number of allowed doses to avoid dangerous overdoses. Dosecast tracks remaining quantities of your medicines, sends refill reminders, and logs medication adherence.
So the next time you are counseling a patient, why not encourage them to incorporate and utilize a mobile apps to improve patient adherence? When we can encourage patients to create an automated reminder, they will be more likely to be adherent and reach their health goals.

The Role of Monastics
Advice to Monastics
Living in Community
These are the founding members of The Alliance of Non-Himalayan Nuns,
Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo
Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo was raised in London. In 1964, aged 20, she traveled to India to pursue her spiritual path and met her guru, His Eminence the 8th Khamtrul Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist Lama. She became one of the first Westerners to ordain as a Tibetan Buddhist nun. The inspiring story of her life, including 12 years of secluded retreat in a Himalayan cave, is the subject of the biography, Cave in the Snow.
A popular Buddhist teacher, she presents the Dharma in an accessible manner to audiences across the world.
Jetsunma is Founder and Abbess of Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery in H.P. where some 100 young women, from the Himalayan region receive monastic training.
In 2008 Tenzin Palmo was given the title of Jetsunma, which means Venerable Master, by His Holiness the Twelfth Gyalwang Drukpa, Head of her lineage. She is President of Sakyadhita International Association of Buddhist Women.
Geshe Kelsang Wangmo
Geshe Kelsang Wangmo was raised in a Catholic family in Germany. She attended church but grew uninterested in religion in her teens. After completing high school in 1989, she went on an extensive backpacking trip, which included India. She had planned to stay for a couple of weeks before returning to start university, studying medicine. But eventually, she stayed on.
She joined an introduction to Buddhism course at Tushita Meditation Centre in Dharamshala. She went on to study Buddhism seriously. She took ordination as a nun in April 1991. She later enrolled in the traditional Geshe curriculum (a 16-year course, considered equivalent to a Ph. D. in Buddhist philosophy) at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics (IBD) in Dharamshala. In 2011, the IBD conferred the degree of Geshe, a Tibetan Buddhist academic degree for monastics, on her, thus making her the world's first female Geshe. Since 2004, she has been teaching Buddhist philosophy classes in English in Dharamsala, following the curriculum of the IBD.
Tsunma Tenzin Sangmo
Tsunma Sangmo was born and raised in The Netherlands and worked as a nurse prior to becoming a nun. She ordained in 1997 with His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala. After meeting Buddhist monks from Ganden Monastery in her home country, she was inspired to explore Buddhism and quickly felt like she was 'home'. Soon after, she moved to India determined to spend her life in a good way focused on the Dharma.
The idea of building a nunnery for non-Himalayan nuns had been discussed within the Tibetan Buddhist community for many years as there was no space for western nuns to live and practice. Well-respected teachers – including His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama – indicated that building a nunnery supportive to international nuns in India would be of great benefit.
In October 2000, she began putting the pieces together to build what would eventually become Thosamling Nunnery & Institute. Thanks to generous donors from around the world, land was purchased in 2002 and construction began on 4 January, 2003.
Due to Tsunma Sangmo's many years of dedication and hard work, western and international nuns now have a place to study and practice in India. Today, Thosamling Nunnery is a growing resident community of nuns offering teachings and courses for nuns and lay people alike.

Despite the sub-par performance, Whisenhunt reiterated that Peterson won't back down."He's a competitor," said Whisenhunt. "He wants to be the bell cow for that position. He wants to be one of the best in the league, and he's working hard at it."Speaking of working hard at it, Whisenhunt said Peterson knows what it takes on-and-off the field to become one of the best in this league."He's got all of that, good leadership ability," said Whisenhunt. "He's in here at 6 a.m. in the morning meeting with coach Cioffi, and they're working at it. He wants to be good, and he's driven." Coming into the 2012 season, Peterson was expected by many to improve upon his stellar rookie year, when he recorded 64 tackles and two interceptions in 16 games. The 22-year-old may not be a shut-down corner yet, but he has the physical tools and the mental makeup to get there pretty quick.

The Under-13 Boys winners from London Academy with Table Tennis England Director Priya Samuel
Treble for London Academy at Jack Petchey finals
Publish date: January 8, 2022
After a two-year wait, the Jack Petchey London Schools Table Tennis Finals were back – and eight team titles were decided on a thrilling day at the University of East London's Sportsdock.
London Academy took three titles and there were some desperately close matches, including one medal won by a margin of just two points.
The event also serves as a zonal final for the Butterfly National Schools Championships, with the top two teams in each category going through to the regional finals.
A full selection of pictures from the event, by Stephen Pover, can be viewed on our Flickr page.
Under-19 Girls
The day's first champions were Wallington High School for Girls, who won the round-robin event without dropping a match.
Sisters Yuvathi and Anishka Kumar teamed up to defeat University College School, Tiffin School for Girls and Morpeth School all by 5-0 margins. There were some anxious moments, including when 13-year-old Anishka defeated Morpeth's Jennifer Chiesurin 12-10 in the fifth.
Morpeth took second place courtesy of 5-0 victories over UCS and Tiffin, and Tiffin were third having seen off UCS 5-0.
Yuvathi Kumar, 19, said: "We went into it open-minded and trying our best in every match, and it feels really great to have won. It was a really friendly competition – everyone was really friendly, all the staff and the other players."
Under-19 Boys
London Academy defeated University College School (UCS) in the final, calling a halt having taken an unassailable 5-1 lead.
The semi-final had seen UCS come through a thriller against Whitgift, drawing 4-4 but shading the countback 16-15 to reach the final – thanks to Leo Sassoon coming from 2-0 down to win the decisive eight match 3-2 against Keefer Kungsen. Third place went to Wallington School.
The winning London Academy squad was Robert Ionascu, Daniel Oluwamayawa, Octavian Aparaschieve, Devan Shah and Fernando Frandes.
Robert, part of the under-16 winning team two years ago, said: "It feels good and I'm proud we've won another age group. Two years ago was a nice win and it's good to come through covid times, improve and win a higher age bracket."
The round-robin event was won by St George's, but only just as it came down to countback between them and Addey and Stanhope. The teams drew 4-4 and won all their other matches, meaning it came down to the head-to-head clash, and St George's took it 13-12.
The winning squad was Jonabel Taguibao, Luna Archard, Jadeine Augustin and Leona Nerona.
Jonabel said: "I thought if we worked together and fought hard, we could win. We had each other's backs and our coach (Dan Basterfield) helped – without him, I don't think we could have made it."
Third place and the bronze medals went to Tiffin School.
Wallington beat Ernest Bevin in the final, taking an unbeatable 5-0 lead, but the biggest drama was in the third-place play-off, which finished in a 4-4 draw between Morpeth and Fortismere.
The two teams could not be separated on games either, as it was all square at 14-14. It went down to points and Morpeth got the verdict by just two to take the bronze.
The champion Wallington line-up was Chidomebi Egbeama, Ojasvii Borah, Sai Gandepalli, Jacob Archer and Akal Dosanjh.
Sai said: "We get through every year, so there's an expectation on us, but we're up for the challenge. We're all friends so it definitely helps supporting each other."
London Academy defeated Putney High 5-3 in the final to take home the gold medals. The winning squad was Sienna Jetha, Alisha Dutta, Mauli Shah, Tadeea Aparaschieve and Bal Balkam.
London Academy were never behind in the final, but Putney did twice peg them back, to 1-1 and 2-2, before three London victories in a row saw them build an unassailable lead, Dutta winning the crucial seventh match to put her team 5-2 ahead.
Sienna Jetha said: "We all supported each other through the whole time and never let each other down. We were quite confident and we started well, but it got harder towards the end and we were a bit nervous – but we got the result we wanted."
The third-place play-off was another thriller, as Addey and Stanhope edged out Coloma Convent School 14 games to 13, the match having finished 4-4 as and winners came from 2-0 and 4-2 down.
London Academy sealed their hat-trick in the final match of the day as they beat UCS 5-3, Jayden Matthews winning the crucial final tie.
The full London Academy squad was Shahuraj Nimse, Parsa Yamin, Ilyes Djeraoui, Matthews and Josian Bosire Blair.
Jayden said: "Our expectation was to win and we won. It was down to teamwork and thanks to everyone who was cheering me on in the last match."
St George's took third place.
Fox Primary were the champions, winning all three matches to hold on to the title they also won two years ago.
Putney High were in second place, defeating London Academy 5-3 and drawing 4-4 against James the Great, who ended in third place thanks to a 4-4 draw against London Academy.
The winning Fox squad was Astrid Styrvoldt-Chaigneau, Zouzou Bruges, Sophie Howe, Evie Turner-Samuels and Lola Foldes.
Evie said: "It feels nice to win. At the start we had nerves that we weren't going to do it because we thought there were going to be hard players to play, who were better than us, but we made it through."
St Edward's Catholic Primary School were the champions two years ago and they defended their title at the first opportunity, and in fine style as they won all four matches 8-0.
Second place went to Brandlehow and third to Fulham Bilingual, the latter edging out St Aubyn's 5-3 in the match which effectively decided the bronze medals.
The winning line-up was Teagan Khazal – who was also part of the winning squad two years ago – Zaid Aldilimi, Ikram Shah and Parsia Ahsani.
Parsia said: "I feel very happy and excited to win. At the start, I felt we could win but I was stressed because we didn't know how the other teams played. But our coaches Marcel (Surdu) and Philipp (Snell) really helped."

December 13, 2017 News & Views » Detroit News
By Larry Gabriel
Politics has suddenly become more interesting in Detroit, after a snoozer season of municipal elections that swept nearly every incumbent back into office. That's because Rep. John Conyers just resigned amid numerous sexual harassment allegations against him.
The seemingly mild-mannered, sometimes doddering Conyers turned out to be a rake, with allegations of groping women's thighs and buttocks and popping out in his underwear in some of the darnedest places and situations.
The revelations also give local focus to a national phenomenon of women outing powerful men who used their position to cover up actions and intimidate their victims. The most damning evidence against Conyers has been the testimony of former staffer Marion Brown, who broke a nondisclosure settlement to speak out. Although Conyers swiftly retired, he continues to deny the allegations.
Politics is also highlighted here. Conyers has been part of the local political firmament, it seems like, forever. In his 53 years in office he's been a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus and ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee. There are numerous accomplishments and praiseworthy events that dot his career, but the way he left office will be what people remember most about Conyers.
"It's always something," says Sam Riddle about Detroit politics in general, and for the past few weeks Conyers has been that something around here. Riddle is an independent political consultant with historical ties to the Conyers family, although he says that he's not currently speaking for any of them.
At 88 years old Conyers was the oldest congressional representative. He probably should have retired long ago, but the local electorate liked him. Just last year he won reelection with 77 percent of the vote, equaling his lowest margin of victory since he ran in 1964.
But that's all over. Now, the move has opened up a congressional seat, speeding up the process for those who hope to be the next honorable representative from the 13th District. That includes portions of Detroit and Dearborn Heights, as well and Ecorse, Garden City, Highland Park, Inkster, Melvindale, Redford Township, River Rouge, Romulus, Wayne, and Westland.
It's going to be a mosh pit of a contest on the Democratic side. As noted, Conyers had held sway for 53 years. These positions don't open up often, so this is a rare chance for everybody in the district who wants to go to Congress.
Coleman Young II has already tossed his derby in the ring. Fresh off of losing the Detroit mayoral race, Young is seeking his next job as term limits will take him out of his state senate seat at the end of 2018.
If he is going to be successful, he's got a lot of work to do. Young's mayoral campaign was amateurish, of limited scope, and didn't display much fundraising ability. Instead, Young focused on what he called "two Detroits," unsuccessfully trying to pull together the coalition of black voters and organizations that once supported his father.
None of that will matter much when approaching the downriver communities in the 13th District.
"Let's not consider this a black congressional seat," says Riddle. "Whoever wins the next primary on the Democratic side is the next congressperson. We've got an interesting political journey ahead in that congressional district. A number of proven vote-getters are looking at this race."
Those names include Conyers Jr.'s great nephew Ian Conyers, who is serving as state senator in Lansing; Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones; state Rep. Rashida Tliab; state Sen. David Knezek of Dearborn Heights; Westland Mayor William Wild; Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon; Detroit City Councilwoman Mary Sheffield; and Detroit attorney Michael Gilmore. Conyers even endorsed his son, John Conyers III, as a replacement representative.
Conyers III is a political neophyte, but his cousin Ian Conyers has a track record and, after last year's election, more name recognition.
"Ian is a state senator with great academic credentials and has worked in Washington before with the congressman," says Riddle. "He has been on the ground in D.C. from a youngster. ... It takes more than a name to qualify one for office. In terms of what Rep Conyers embodied, I don't see anyone with that kind of stature or bearing coming along. That's something that developed over 53 years."
It may take more than a name to qualify a candidate, but sometimes it only takes a name to win an election. The question for Ian is whether the Conyers brand has been damaged beyond rehabilitation. Not only is Rep. Conyers Jr. embroiled in scandal, Conyers III was arrested in February on suspicion of domestic violence. Rep. Conyers Jr.'s wife Monica Conyers served jail time for accepting bribes while she was a Detroit City Council member. Riddle, who managed campaigns for Monica Conyers and served as her chief of staff, was also served jail time due to that scandal.
Ian Conyers is the most viable person from that family. He first won state office in the 2016 special election to replace Virgil Smith. He hasn't even said he wants the seat.
The Conyers brand is one of Detroit's oldest, but there have been others that have come to prominence and receded. Young II, son of Detroit's first black mayor, played his name to the state senate. It remains to be seen if he can parlay his brand to higher prominence. The Kilpatricks — Bernard (a political operative), Carolyn Cheeks and Kwame — have spectacularly flamed out. Cheeks' congressional career was a side casualty in Kwame's comedown.
Another family name, Cockrel, has pretty well disappeared from the political scene — Kenneth Sr., Sheila, Kenneth Jr. All of them served on Detroit City Council and before his death in 1990, Ken Sr. was considered by many to be a strong candidate to replace Coleman Young as mayor. Ken Jr. was City Council President and became mayor to replace Kwame Kilpatrick. But after his loss to Dave Bing in 2009, Ken Jr. retired from politics. He's currently executive director of Habitat for Humanity Detroit. Sheila is still a commentator on Detroit politics.
"I don't know that Ken has the fire in the belly to run," says Riddle. "If he ran, I think he would be a formidable candidate. It's beyond question he would be a formidable candidate. Of all the names that we've discussed, if Ken Cockrel ran I would consider him one of the favorites in the race."
Whoever gets into the race, it's going to be a crazy year. Gov. Snyder has called the primary for Aug. 7 and the election for Nov. 6, both dates when elections were already scheduled. However, the Nov. 6 date is for someone to finish the last couple of months of Conyers' term in 2018 and, separately, for someone to serve the term that starts in January 2019. That's a bit strange right there. And in the meantime there will be no representative from the 13th District for most of 2018. We might even witness someone running for state and federal seats at the same time.
So get ready for the 13th District follies cause it's going to be crazy for a while.

Q: Which of the two is better? Past simple vs past continuous As in the title, which of the two is better:

*

*During the last economic crisis, many families lived from hand to mouth.

*During the last economic crisis, many families were living from hand to mouth.

A: English style guides recommend not using the continuous tense unless it's integral to the meaning of the sentence.  This is because certain words in a sentence can detract from the readers sense that the writer is certain about the subject -- every little word introduces some measure of doubt.   Someone who is sure of themselves uses short, declarative sentences.  Compare these:

She eats muesli for breakfast every morning.
  She is eating muesli for breakfast every morning.

The first is clear, simple, and certain.  The second introduces a slight uncertainty, as if the author is not sure if her breakfast is the same every morning.
That being said, these style guides are for formal, expository writing.  With creative writing you say whatever sounds best to you.  Also, as you get more comfortable with expository writing, you define your own style.
In your example there is actually a slight difference in nuance between the simple past and the simple past continuous tense.  The first says "this happened".  The second says "this was happening (while something else was going on)".
If you plan to talk about some other contemporaneous event -- which is strongly implied by your use of "during" -- then the continuous tense is appropriate.  Otherwise, your default should be the simple past.

Facebook Wants Your Blood
June 17, 2019 TimeMagazine Off Health News
Donating blood is a selfless act, and as with many altruistic behaviors, it's not always easy to convince people to take a couple of hours out of their day to do it. Yet it is desperately required: every day, patients in the U.S. need about 30,000 pints (about 14,200 liters) of blood, and the supply peaks and dips depending on people's generosity. At any one time, there is enough blood to last anywhere from two to seven days.
That may change, if Facebook has anything to say about it. The social media behemoth, which boasts dozens of million users in the U.S., wants to appeal to its members to give blood whenever and wherever they can.
On June 12, Facebook launched a feature on its site enabling people to sign up to be a blood donor. Those people who sign up will be notified when their local blood banks need blood of their specific type. To start, the program will be rolled out in five cities—Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Baltimore and Washington, D.C—but will eventually expand to the entire country.
"Our mission is to connect people, and this is at its heart a connection problem" says Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook. "We are matching up people who are willing to donate with where there is a need for blood,"
Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood, according to the American Red Cross, whether to replenish blood after an accident, during surgery or chemotherapy, or due to an illness like sickle cell anemia. Yet only 3% of the public donates. And the number of new people offering to give for the first time is falling.
"Historically, we have reached out to folks through institutions like schools and companies that organized large blood drives," says Cliff Numark, senior vice president of blood services at the American Red Cross. "But with more people working at home, they may not intersect with blood donation campaigns at all, so it may not be something they even think about."
People's motivations for giving blood have also changed, says Julie Scott, director of strategic marketing and communications at Vitalant, the second-largest collector of blood in the country, which runs 127 blood donation centers. "Before, giving blood was more of a civic duty, and something people did to help their fellow man," she says. "We did research and learned that some of the things younger donors cared about was knowing what impact their donation was having on patients, and knowing how their blood was being used. So we do a variety of things like sending texts to let donors know their blood was shipped to a hospital for a patient in need."
Because Facebook highlights people's personal stories, it will make it possible for people to share their own experiences about how donors have helped. "Facebook helps to connect people in a very personal way," says Sandberg. "When people see real names and real faces, they are more likely to jump in and support each other."
The Red Cross and Vitalant, as well as America's Blood Centers, Inova, New York Blood Center, Rock River Valley Blood Center, Stanford Blood Center and Versiti, are partnering with Facebook to make people more aware of not just the need for blood, but where and how they can donate. Raising awareness about blood donation is critical, says Numark. "The number one reason why people don't give blood is because they are not asked," he says. "Facebook gives us the opportunity to make the need front and center for someone who is interested. We may be able to reach people who aren't being asked now to donate."
Facebook's blood-donation program is already live in four countries: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Brazil. According to Facebook, since the programs launched in 2017, 35 million people in those countries have become donors, and 20% of them credited Facebook with motivating them to give.
If uptake in those countries is any indication, Numark says, it's possible Facebook could help to double the number of potential blood donors in the U.S.

(AUSTIN, Texas – Jan. 19, 2022) – The Texas Hospital Association today announced that Jennifer Banda will lead the association's lobby team as senior vice president of advocacy and public policy, replacing John Hawkins who recently took the helm as THA's new president and CEO.
A longtime hospital expert and advocate, Banda will lead all THA advocacy efforts, with a focus on hospital and health advocacy and regulatory initiatives at both the state and federal level. Banda joined THA's advocacy and public policy team in 2003 after significant stints working on health care issues in the Texas legislature, as well as in Washington, D.C.
"It's an honor to be at an organization that's at the front of the pack in terms of advocating for health care and patients. I'm proud to represent Texas hospitals and lead a team that works collaboratively on solutions that move us forward," Banda said. "The world of health care has been turned upside down by the pandemic, and we continue to work round-the-clock to secure resources and support for hospitals and protect patients."
Banda graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with an undergraduate degree from the Plan II Honors Program, as well as a law degree from the University of Texas School of Law.
THA also has announced that Carrie Kroll has been promoted to Banda's former position as vice president of advocacy, public policy and political strategy. In addition to her continued advocacy duties, Kroll will also be tasked with managing the operations and strategic direction of HOSPAC. THA's Cameron Duncan is being promoted from his role as associate general counsel to vice president of advocacy and public policy. THA veteran Sara Gonzalez will take on additional policy and advocacy issues in her current role as vice president of advocacy and public policy.
"Jennifer Banda has been a tireless advocate for our state's hospitals through her deep knowledge and understanding of the issues facing our health care system," said John Hawkins. "I'm confident that through her leadership, along with the dedication and expertise of our entire advocacy team, THA will continue to be a thought leader in Texas health care policy."
Founded in 1930, the Texas Hospital Association is the leadership organization and principal advocate for the state's hospitals and health care systems. Based in Austin, THA enhances its members' abilities to improve accessibility, quality and cost-effectiveness of health care for all Texans. One of the largest hospital associations in the country, THA represents more than 650 of the state's non-federal general and specialty hospitals and health care systems, which employ some 400,000 health care professionals statewide. Learn more about THA at www.tha.org or follow THA on Twitter at https://twitter.com/texashospitals.
