The first thing we must do is realize that we can only solve a problem if it is diagnosed correctly.
If my child went to the doctor with a fever, and the doctor told me to give him baobab leaves to make him better, I would want to know what caused the fever and why only baobab leaves will cure him. In contrast, much of the African population is suffering from fatigue, weakness, dizziness and drowsiness and many people prescribe food-based interventions, like baobab leaves, without asking: Why? What is the root cause of these ailments?
As a nutritionist, I know that the root cause of such ailments too often is malnutrition. Data generated by countries in the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)-led initiative for Food and Nutrition Security in Africa (IFNA) indicates that in some countries, up to 80 percent of the population is anemic, which causes symptoms like fatigue and dizziness.
Recent reports tell us that no African country is expected to reach the United Nations' target of ending childhood malnutrition by 2030. Many countries may not even end hunger or food insecurity. We have a severe public health problem on our hands. While baobab leaves are high in iron, and a good antidote to anemia, they cannot comprise our first or only response to malnutrition in general.
Indeed, when food-based interventions such as baobab leaves are the only solution offered, there is a fundamental problem within our health system. Any credible nutritionist will inform you that our dire malnutrition status requires multiple and immediate forms of action, including efforts to prevent such incidents from occurring in the first place.
Enter technology. To have any hope of putting things back on track, and meeting the 2030 development agenda, we need to fully unleash a data revolution to find data, fill gaps and equip us with full knowledge.
The first thing we must do is realize that we can only solve a problem if it is diagnosed correctly. At its core, chronic malnutrition is the consequence of a broken food system. Poor people can't afford nutritious foods in supermarkets, and their own food supply may have been decimated by drought; floods; low fertilizer use — or one of the other myriad reasons why food harvests fail. Each country needs an accurate problem tree, incorporating rigorous responses to specific issues like anemia which will differ with context. These should follow standard planning procedures within each country and outline appropriate interventions to address core issues.
IFNA aims to leverage agriculture for nutrition and is taking bold steps to bring multiple sectors together to act. But we must be bolder. It has been said that there is little evidence linking agricultural interventions to improvements in nutrition. But we in the scientific community do have evidence clearly demonstrating that agricultural improvements – like new bean varieties biofortified with high iron for example – can have impactful health benefits. Some of our studies show such high-iron beans can reverse anemia and even improve brain function in young women in Rwanda.
Second, we must identify clear menus of intervention with goals and benchmarks. Then we must map partners; outline a theory of change; an impact pathway; logic framework; and unite agriculture and health sectors through joint implementation plans.
Finally, these implementation plans must be couched in evidence-based, peer reviewed science. An independent peer review process under the Africa Leaders for Nutrition platform is critical. All nutrition projects go through an independent review board to ensure proposed interventions are technically and ethically sound, often registered on the clinical trials website.
This needs to happen for all nutrition-sensitive projects in Africa. Open-access project manuals with relevant program information can improve peer review, accountability, transparency and traceability. We can leverage already-existing systems and institutions, like the Agriculture, Nutrition & Health (ANH) Academy as a peer review partner.
In this regard, there is a role for Big Data Platforms in Africa. To establish development project standards linking agriculture to nutrition everywhere in Africa, we need the high-resolution, fine data that tells us exactly how the situation is on the ground in any specific location. Better data will help us build better response plans.
When my son is ill and goes to the doctor, I expect that tests will be run, and the root cause will be identified. Then a combination of the right medicine, applied in the right doses, at the right times, together with rest and rehabilitation, will make him better. We should not think that our response to malnutrition should be any different.

Friends At A Distance: Anaïs Nin's Birthday
"Nothing makes the world so spacious as friends at a distance. They make up the longitudes and the latitudes."
Today is Anaïs's birthday. She would have loved this Thoreau quote as she perhaps more than most, counted time not with a clock but a compass. So today in honor of her birthday we are celebrating writers in Italy and Los Angeles. The photo of Anaïs above appears in Anaïs Nin e lo Spirito di Bali by Emanuela Riverso which appeared in Dietro Le Quinte last August.
Recently Riverso has written a piece about Anaïs's cherished friend and author of the memoir Anaïs Nin: The Last Days, Barbara Kraft.
Besides her friendship with Anaïs, Kraft became close to Henry Miller and Eugene Ionesco. It is this magical extension of the longitudes and latitudes of friendship (think Tropic of Cancer!) that has Riverso now outlining these fascinating friendships in Eugène Ionesco e Barbara Kraft: A Conversation. If you aren't fluent in Italian hit Translate! in your browser…
There is a project in the works to make Kraft's brilliant and unprecedented conversation into a chap book.
Till then, turn off your clocks, and pick up a compass, and today, call or write or see a friend at a distance.
I have a writer friend from LA who is now on a mini-sabbatical in New Orleans. And he is the first person I will write a note to today on my little pink mini-ipad, using of course that awesome app Penultimate! I think of him first as he envisioned, created, organized and then produced the sold out Anaïs Nin@ 105 at the Hammer Gallery at UCLA in 2008.
After that, compass and Americano in hand (not for nothing have I been dubbed the tall Americano) I will be wending my way from Chicago up north to interview my friend Judith Citrin. Citrin, like Kraft was a close friend of Nin.
So happy birthday to Anaïs. She would have been 110 today (Gasp!) But as Auden wrote so many years ago to a pal "So we're a little older, friendship never ages" Rochelle Holt, Valerie Harms, Sas Colby, Donna Ippolito, Adele Aldridge, and I have enjoyed lovely years of friendship because of our Nin connection.

Smart TV Giant Skyworth Enters E-cigarettes Industry
Mar 04, 2022, 21:41pm 2022/03/04 21:41:57 Pandaily
On Thursday, an online recruitment poster circulated on Chinese social media showing that Skyworth Health released three job postings: ID designer, structural engineer and foreign trade business manager. The poster seemed to emphasize experience in the e-cigarette industry.
According to the online recruitment platform, the company was promoting jobs that entail previous experience in the industry. One of thepost requirements included the description of "Overseas Promotion Specialist" with "more than one year's overseas promotion experience in e-cigarette industry is preferred" clearly stated.
Chinese commercial information platform Tianyancha shows that Skyworth Health was established on December 16, 2021 with a registered capital of 10 million yuan ($1.58 million). Its licensed projects include the import and export of e-cigarettes and nicotine for e-cigarettes, in addition to the retail and wholesale of e-cigarettes.
Skyworth Health's major shareholder is Skyworth Group Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., and its second largest shareholder is Shenzhen Zhiying Technology Co., Ltd., holding 55% and 45% respectively. The former is a subsidiary of Skyworth Group, while the latter's main business is electronic cigarettes, and its products have been sold to more than 60 countries and regions around the world.
With the saturation of the color TV market, Skyworth Group has entered into new fields in recent years. In 2018, Skyworth formally put forward the "1334" strategy at the company's 30th anniversary. Among them, "1" refers to realizing 100 billion yuan revenue, and "4" refers to building four major sectors, including: multimedia, intelligent electrical appliances, intelligent system technology and a modern service industry. But Skyworth's revenue in recent years is still only around 40 billion yuan.

Vic Mensa remembers Fredo Santana and addresses wider systematic issues in new post
"We have to diagnose the system, not the symptoms"
By Steffanee Wang
Rest In Peace to a real chicago legend. it's tragic that he's gone before he really got to blossom into the man he could be. kicking it with him about a year ago I could really tell that his mentality had grown and he was far more progressive than the world really knew. Fredo was the spirit of the drill movement, & the chicago streets he embodied. Near the end of his life he made some statements that I think we all can REALLY LISTEN to and learn from. He spoke about his drug use and trying to escape the PTSD he had from growing up in the hood, surrounded by violence. I call it post traumatic streets disorder. we need to evaluate the conditions in our communities that raise young black men with more psychological issues than they can ever really unpack. we have to diagnose the system, not the symptoms. rest up to a real rockstar. 27
A post shared by ROCKSTAR.VIC (@vicmensa) on Jan 20, 2018 at 10:42am PST
Vic Mensa wrote a thoughtful Instagram post Saturday simultaneously remembering Chicago rapper Fredo Santana's life, while also taking the time to explore how systematic racism, community disenfranchisement and ensuing violence in Chicago may have contributed to Santana's untimely and early death.
Santana died from a fatal seizure Friday evening, according to early reports from TMZ. He was 27 years old. A public statement on his death from his team and family has not yet been released.

While taking time to remember Santana's accomplishments and growth in just the past few years, Mensa, a fellow Chicago rapper, writes that "[Santana] spoke about his drug use and trying to escape the PTSD he had from growing up in the hood, surrounded by violence." Calling it "post traumatic streets disorder," Mensa urgently writes that we "need to evaluate the conditions in our communities that raise young black men with more psychological issues than they can ever really unpack." He ends by powerfully stating "we have to diagnose the system, not the symptoms."
Mensa joins a growing number of rappers and artists memorializing Santana's life and contributions on social media. Mensa's full Instagram caption is pasted below:

DULUTH, Minn. — Police officers put in hundreds of hours of logistical training, seeking to sharpen their skills and prepare for any dangerous scenario that might arise in the blink of an eye.
But cops tend to spend a lot less time training for their day-to-day interactions with community members, Duluth Police Chief Mike Tusken said.
"We're really good about training officers to be tactically sound — to have good critical-thinking skills and decision-making," he said. "But one of the areas we can improve upon is soft skills. Better communication will enhance your perspective and the way you look at problem-solving."
It is with that goal that the Duluth Police Department plans to introduce what Tusken describes as "customer service training" for the 15 newest recruits before they hit the streets for the first time.
The department has partnered with Dale Carnegie Training to experiment with a course that officials say could eventually become a more standard component of law enforcement training.
"Ultimately, when I think of Dale Carnegie, I think of customer service," Tusken said. "So many times it's used in industry, and policing really is about customer service. For years, it wasn't always looked at like that. We're a monopoly. You don't get to pick another police department because you don't like Duluth. So we always have to be at our best."
Dale Carnegie Training is an international, for-profit teaching business that boasts of more than 8 million graduates worldwide. It was established in 1912 and named for the self-improvement guru and author of "How to Win Friends and Influence People," one of the best-selling business books of all time.
Roz Randorf, a consultant for Carnegie in Duluth, said the new officers will receive the organization's standard 24-hour "Skills for Success" course. She said it will include the same content and principles as a class business executives might attend — though some language and scenarios may be tweaked slightly to tailor it to a law enforcement audience.
Randorf said she felt now would be a good time to test the course on officers, given the nationwide discussion over community-police relations in wake of numerous high-profile shooting incidents.
"There are all kinds of situations where communicating and building trust is critical to whether a situation escales or de-escalates," she said. "I think this will be be pretty transformational."
Tusken noted that the police department has consistently enjoyed the support of more than 70 percent of residents interviewed in National Citizen Surveys commissioned by the city.
But the chief said he views the Carnegie training as an opportunity to stay on the "cutting edge" of law enforcement, likening it to the recent department-wide training to recognize implicit bias and last year's deployment of less-lethal weapons that fire sponge rounds.
"We're starting from the platform of a lot of people approving of our service," he said. "But we pay rent on that everyday. We don't own it. As long as it took us to develop that, we can lose it just like that. So we need to stay ahead as a department."
The concept of Carnegie training for law enforcement began last year, when a partnership was forged with Global Peace Officer Development, a newly formed training organization founded in the Twin Cities by a retired police officer and a business executive.
Randorf said a cluster of police officers and commanders in the metro area were first assembled to test a pilot program, but Duluth will be the first outside agency to receive the training.
She said Carnegie's corporate office is offering the training to Duluth at a substantial discount and is keeping an eye on its progress. The department will pay $500 per recruit and officials are pursuing donations from businesses and benefactors to cover remaining costs.
Tusken said it's an opportune time to integrate the training. The incoming class consists of 15 new officers, which he said will be the largest group to join the department since at least 1970.
The recruits will receive the training near the end of the department's 10-week training academy, which gets underway next month.
If it's a success, Tusken said he could envision putting more officers through the training. The biggest hindrance, he said, is always cost.
"I'm excited for us to be able to look at things a little differently," he said. "We want to be looking at what we can do to continually enhance the work we do. We don't like to get mired in mediocrity and stay the status quo."

CIT bailout loans, Don Corleone style
In following the CIT story in the media, I really wonder what makes anyone feel as if this company was actually rescued. It burned through 2.3 billion US dollars of federal bailout money in less than two quarters, is taking a $1.5 billion loss this quarter, has $10 billion of debt coming due, both the macro conditions that spawned its problems and its credit portfolio are still deteriorating. It then gets emergency financing from existing bondholders of $3 billion (which it is subsequently losing in real time due to operating and credit losses as well as near term debt rollover). To add misery to pain, the debt financing is at more than 25 times LIBOR, where the debt it is replacing is barely LIBOR plus a few basis points. Give a man dying of alcohol poisoning a shot of overproof rum and consider him saved!!! So, the company doesn't file for bankruptcy this month, but will be forced to file next month, and will have that much more debt to default on.
From Bloomberg: CIT Hit With Interest Rate More Than 25 Times Libor in Pimco-Led Rescue
Pacific Investment Management Co., Centerbridge Partners LP and the four other bondholders that put up $2 billion in financing for CIT Group Inc. made an instant $100 million on an investment analysts say is almost risk free.
CIT, the 101-year-old commercial lender struggling to retire $1 billion of debt maturing next month, agreed to pay a 5 percent fee to the creditors and annual interest of at least 13 percent. On top of that, the New York-based company pledged assets worth more than five times the amount of the loan as collateral.
"The terms are egregious," said Dwayne Moyers, the chief investment officer at Fort Worth, Texas-based SMH Capital Advisors, which oversees $1.4 billion, including more than $70 million of CIT bonds. "They ripped the faces off everyone with these terms." Ripped the faces off???!!! What??? This is anus expansion to the nth Degree!
CIT, led by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Peek, said in a regulatory filing yesterday that the loan doesn't solve the funding challenges and it may be forced to seek bankruptcy protection unless holders of $1 billion in floating- rate notes due Aug. 17 accept 82.5 cents on the dollar for the debt.
The securities closed yesterday at 85.25 cents, down 2.25 cents, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. CIT shares tumbled 22 percent in New York Stock Exchange trading yesterday.
"The board of directors believed it was in the best interest for all stakeholders," Curt Ritter, a CIT spokesman, said of the financing. He declined to comment on the terms of the loan. Sure, all stakeholders in PIMPco (misspelling purposely executed).
CIT rejected over the weekend a General Electric Co. offer of at least $2 billion in loans backed by aircraft, four people familiar with the matter said. While less costly and requiring less collateral than the loans from bondholders, funds wouldn't have been available until July 31, said two of the people, who didn't want to be identified because the offer wasn't public. They were so desperate for cash that they couldn't wait one week for funding! Wow! This type of hard money, subprime lending was supposed to be pooh poohed by the administration, right?
Bondholders made $2 billion available immediately and promised another $1 billion by the end of the month. The group received a 5 percent commitment fee on the 2 ½ year loan, amounting to $100 million on the $2 billion already provided. They will receive a 1 percent annual payment on the amount that's not drawn upon, the company said.
The book value of the collateral must be more than five times the amount of the loan and the so-called fair value must be more than triple the debt, the filing said. If CIT wants to retire the loan early, it must pay a 2 percent exit fee in addition to a prepayment premium of 6.5 percent on the amount it wants to reduce, the filing said. The 6.5 percent will decline to zero over 18 months.
Interest will be set at 10 percentage points more than the London interbank offered rate, which will have a floor of 3 percent. Three-month Libor was set at 0.503 percent yesterday.
'Don Corleone Financing'
Even if CIT fails, the bondholder group will probably make money because of the collateral, according to Sean Egan, president of Egan-Jones Ratings Co. in Haverford, Pennsylvania. The lenders have "virtually 100 percent assurance" they'd be able to recoup all their money in a bankruptcy, said Sameer Gokhale, an analyst with Keefe Bruyette & Woods Inc. in New York.
"This is called Don Corleone financing," Egan said, referring to the patriarch in the organized-crime family depicted in the 1972 film, "The Godfather." "You can't lose money on this deal." Actually, even Don Corleone wouldn't have dug this deep. Maybe Michael Corleone, but do you remember what happened to that hot head?
Outside of the "urban underworld," Egan, 52, said he couldn't recall seeing a loan backed by as much collateral that paid interest rates so high. "These terms would make a pawn-shop operator blush." Pawnshop operator. Stop beating around the bush. CIT got robbed at economic gunpoint, plain and simple.
Bankruptcy loans arranged this year have an average interest rate of 7.25 percentage points more than Libor, compared with 5.3 percentage points in 2008, Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts led by Jeffrey Rosenberg wrote in a report last month. So-called debtor-in-possession loans never exceeded 4 percent over Libor before that, they said. Sans the government bailout and intervention, this is the market at work. Hey, the taxpayer could have made this extremely lucrative deal instead of PIMPco and company. If this truly is the market at work, then those terms should make blatantly clear to everyone that the market sees things much gloomier than the media and Bernanke.
