Local: Mini-grant Opportunity: Biobanking
We are excited to announce a mini-grant opportunity that will allow faith- and community-based organizations to customize and deliver an evidence-based program on the topic of biobanking. Ten grants are available for organizations interested in delivering an education program on biobanking to their communities. The grants include $1,750 to deliver a biobanking program to an audience of at least 10 people, a free 3-hour training on evidence-based health promotion and delivering a biobanking education program, and technical support from our team to plan your event and other health promotion activities.

As you may know, a biobank is a "library" that stores and manages biological samples (such as blood) for use in research. These samples are often linked to information about the background or behaviors of the person who donated them (though the individual's name is not shared). Researchers can then take these samples and create new kinds of therapies. The key for communities that experience cancer disparities is that the library needs to include people from a wide range of racial and ethnic backgrounds to increase the chance that the treatments and screening tools developed will serve people from those communities.

General Mills to Manufacture, Donate $5 Million Worth of Food to Food Banks
The company also will launch a paid community service program for Minneapolis-based employees to redirect their work hours to serving hunger-relief nonprofits.
By Isabelle Gustafson | April 29, 2020
In partnership with Feeding America, , General Mills is announcing two new initiatives to help the urgent need for both food donations and volunteers stemming from COVID-19.
General Mills facilities will manufacture and immediately donate $5 million worth of product to Feeding America food banks. The company will also create an option for employees to work at food-related charities in the Twin Cities while retaining their regular pay.
"During these unprecedented times we know that our food and our employees can play an important role in helping feed people facing hunger in our communities," said Jeff Harmening, chairman and CEO of General Mills. "Our teams are proud to produce food the world loves and needs right now when there is such a critical demand."
General Mills has developed a "manufacture to donate" initiative that will provide $5 million worth of food — including whole grain cereals, frozen whole grain waffles and granola bars — for Feeding America to distribute within its network of 200 food banks. The General Mills manufacturing plant in Chanhassen, Minn., is among the locations making food for this charitable initiative.
This product donation is the latest in a series of actions the company recently announced to support its employees and communities in response to the impact of COVID-19.
This included $5 million in charitable grants from the General Mills Foundation to support food access and other basic needs in its key global markets and manufacturing communities around the world.
The $5 million in gifts include grants from the General Mills Foundation spanning Asia, Europe, Australia, Latin America and North America to increase food bank capacity, ensure food access and address vital needs of vulnerable populations amid the pandemic.
These contributions supplement the $21 million in cash giving by General Mills and its Foundation last year, along with more than $40 million worth of food product donations provided by General Mills to nonprofit food bank partners to help ensure food security across global communities.
General Mills employees who are unable to perform the tasks of their usual jobs remotely during the pandemic or have extra time during their day can now sign up for volunteer work assignments at a non-profit in their community while receiving regular pay from General Mills.
The program is intended for employees located near the company's Minneapolis headquarters, and volunteer assignments are with nonprofits that have been deemed essential organizations given their roles helping fight hunger during the pandemic. Eligible organizations include Catholic Charities, The Food Group, Help at Your Door, Loaves and Fishes and Second Harvest Heartland (a Feeding America member food bank).
"General Mills' unique offer to deploy their manufacturing lines and their employees will help Feeding America network food banks meet people's rising need for food assistance," said Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of Feeding America. "We are deeply grateful for General Mills' contribution during this crisis and for their 40 years of support of our mission."

Iran slams UN indifference to Israel's airstrike on Golan
Iran's Ambassador to UN Gholam Hossein Dehqani
Iran has criticized the United Nations Security Council for failing to take action against the Israeli regime over its recent deadly airstrike on the occupied Golan Heights in Syria, Press TV reports.
"The Security Council remains indifferent in making any position on condemning the aggressor while it was a clear violation of international law," Iran's Ambassador to the UN Gholam Hossein Dehqani told Press TV.
"Once again the Security Council allowed that regime to get away with the crime it committed and failed to condemn the aggression which was done by Israel," he added.
The Iranian envoy said the Israeli regime's impunity does not serve peace and security in the world and would lead to the deaths of more innocent people.
Dehqani's comments come in the wake of an Israeli airstrike in Syria on January 18 that claimed the lives of six Hezbollah members, including 25-year-old Jihad Mughniyeh, the son of slain top Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh, and a general of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
Media reports that Israel carried out the terror attack in the strategic southwestern city of Quneitra in Golan Heights with the help of Takfiri terrorists, particularly the al-Nusra Front.
Israel has carried out numerous airstrikes in Syria over the past couple of years. The Syrian army has repeatedly seized huge quantities of Israeli-made weapons and advanced military equipment from the foreign-backed militants inside Syria.
However, the UN has so far failed to take any action over the attacks, which have been condemned by Damascus as violation of its sovereignty.
The Golan Heights have been under the Israeli occupation since the 1960s. The Tel Aviv regime captured the Syrian territory during the Six-Day War of 1967 and annexed the region in 1981.

Care must be taken when picking the beans and peas. If you pull too hard, part of the plant may break off. Sometimes I like to use scissors to cut the pea / bean pod off, so that the rest of the plant is not damaged.
Snap Beans are a high producing plant, the more you pick it, the more it produces. While you might get just a couple of pickings from purple hull or silver skin crowder peas.
My pea and bean stockpile contains maybe 4 or 5 different types of seeds – mainly purple hull pink eyes and about 3 different types of snap beans.
There are 2 different types of bean plants – runners and bush.
Bush beans – and we are not talking about the canned "Bush baked beans" either. These are bean plants that form a bush and do not form a vine.
Runners also called climbing beans – do just as their name implies, the vine climbs stuff. A lot of times people will plant their beans and corn together. The beans will supply the corn with nitrogen and the corn will give the bean vines something to climb on. Other people may plant their bean vines close to a fence so that the vines have something to climb on.
Personally, I like bush beans. Even though you have to dig through the bush to find the beans, it seems like you can plant more bush beans then you can runners in the same amount of space.
Fertilizer – when adding commercial fertilizer to peas and beans, try not to add add a lot of nitrogen. Use a well balanced fertilizer like 10-10-10 or 13-13-13. In most cases beans and peas do not need a lot of nitrogen, adding high nitrogen content fertilizer like 21-0-0 or 16-6-12 is a no, no. The exception might be if the soil is nitrogen deficient; but the only way to know that is if you have a soil test done.

Provincial Budget 2008: "Major Disappointment"
Home :: News :: Media room :: Provincial Budget 2008: "Major Disappointment"
"With just $5 million in new spending for childcare, Manitobans still face a crisis of high fees, low access, compromised quality and staff exploitation," says Susan Prentice, of the Child Care Coalition.
Thirteen months ago, the first and only Five Year plan ended. Since then, the province has been without a guiding framework. There are no targets for growth in spaces, and little apparent will to move toward public funding and universal access.
Manitoba has few regulated childcare services. Just 14.5 percent of theprovince's children age 0-12 have access to a childcare space. The number of licensed family childcare homes and spaces has actually fallen. Only 33 new centres opened under the 2002 - 2007 Five Year Plan.
Full-fee paying parents, who make the up the majority of users, are still paying fees that can be as high as $7,280/year for an infant. While lower than many Canadian jurisdictions, the fees are still too high for most modest and low-income parents. The subsidy system is still very restrictive, requiring parents to be well-below the Low-Income Cut-off (the 'poverty line') to receive the maximum fee subsidy.
One third of the province's centres operate with an exemption to their license, due to inability to recruit and retain trained staff, causing quality of care to suffer. Human Resources professionals estimate market wages for early educators should be 20 - 25 percent higher than current wages. The province's announced "new training and recruitment" fund would seem to have little chance of success without significant improvements to funding.

After smashing the highest score in BBL history, Marcus Stoinis says he carried the burden of unleashing a homophobic slur last week.
The Melbourne Stars allrounder was fined $7500 for abusing Melbourne Renegades quick Kane Richardson in a heated derby on January 4 but avoided a ban over the incident.
'RIDICULOUS': Shane Warne's interesting history with $1m baggy green
Stoinis said he felt uneasy heading into Sunday night's clash with the Sydney Sixers because of the fallout from that exchange.
But any early nerves dissipated as the 30-year-old belted a scintillating unbeaten 147 from 79 balls at the MCG, to smash D'Arcy Short's BBL mark of 122 not out.

"I've definitely carried it with me. Maybe even today it was probably why I was nervous," Stoinis said.
"It didn't sit well with my character and who I want to be.
"He's (Richardson) a good mate. Over the last couple of games I think we've played he's wound me up a few times but it's no excuse to use words like that.
"(Richardson) was trying to get a reaction out of me and unfortunately I took that bait.
"I've got to give myself some slack, I'm human and can make mistakes as well, and hopefully other people see that as genuine."
'He looked more angry': Richardson
Richardson, who is in India for Australia's ODI series, on Sunday said that the pair had spoken and cleared the air.
"It was just harmless cricket chat," Richardson said from Mumbai.
"He looked more angry than I have ever seen him. I'm not sure what he was thinking.
"The learning has to be that this kind of thing doesn't happen again.
"To be honest, I didn't need an apology for myself - he didn't offend me.
"It's more what he said that offends so many people."
Stoinis's innings - the third best by an Australian in Twenty20s behind Aaron Finch's 172 and 156 in internationals - included 13 fours and eight sixes.
The 207-run opening stand between Stoinis and Hilton Cartwright (59 no) is the record highest BBL partnership, rocketing past former Stars Rob Quiney and Luke Wright's 172 in 2012.
The BBL's leading run-scorer this season, Stoinis is going to be hard for Australian selectors to ignore in the lead-up to the Twenty20 World Cup.

A discussusion of The Democracy Promotion Paradox
with author Lincoln Mitchell
Is democracy exportable? In his new book The Democracy Promotion Paradox (Brookings Institution Press), Lincoln Mitchell raises difficult but critically important issues by probing the numerous inconsistencies and paradoxes that lie at the heart of the theory and practice of democracy promotion. Mitchell draws on his experiences in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, among other regions, to relate democracy promotion to broader questions about U.S. foreign policy.
Thomas Carothers, vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, served as a discussant. A Q&A session with the audience followed.
Lincoln Mitchell is a writer and specialist in political development. He has worked on democracy and governance related issues in the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Lincoln writes about US politics as well, serving as the national political correspondent for The New York Observer. He served on the faculty of Columbia University's School of International Affairs from 2006-2013 and worked for years as a political consultant in New York City advising and managing domestic political campaigns. His recent books include Uncertain Democracy: US Foreign Policy and Georgia's Rose Revolution (2008) and The Color Revolutions (2012), both from the University of Pennsylvania Press. He holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from Columbia University.
Thomas Carothers is vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He directs the Democracy and Rule of Law Program and oversees several other Carnegie programs, including Carnegie Europe in Brussels, the Energy and Climate Program, and the D.C.-based Europe Program. He has worked extensively with the Open Society Foundations (OSF), and has taught at Oxford University and Johns Hopkins SAIS. His recent publications include "Democracy Aid at 25: Time to Choose" (Journal of Democracy, January 2015), Closing Space: International Support for Democracy and Human Rights Under Fire (2014), and Development Aid Confronts Politics: The Almost Revolution (with Diane de Gramont, 2013). He holds a J.D. from Harvard Law School.
