The end of hunger, malnutrition
Sometimes something happens that can have a fundamental impact on mankind, but passes largely unnoticed at the time. Such an event occurred in December in Rome. The Council of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization decided that the FAO's goal should no longer be merely to reduce hunger, but to eradicate hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition. The next step will be to confirm this change in June 2013 at the FAO Conference, in which all FAO member countries participate.
To many, this small change of wording must seem trivial. Critics will also say that adopting such a goal without setting a target date for achieving it is largely meaningless. Others may claim that even the idea of eradicating hunger is nonsense, because we lack the means to do it.
For the last 12 years, the Millennium Development Goal of halving hunger by 2015 has been the driving force for hunger reduction. The proportion of hungry people in developing countries has declined significantly from 23.2 percent in 1990-92 to 14.9 percent today. However, this decrease owes more to a rise in the world's population than it does to the slight reduction in the actual number of hungry people (from about 980 million to 852 million today).
A "halving" goal has only slight political appeal, as it implicitly condemns the excluded half to a life on the fringes of society, exposed to illness and premature death. Brazil's Zero Hunger strategy, by contrast, has shown that adopting the absolute goal of hunger eradication provides a powerful means of galvanizing government departments into large-scale coordinated action, and of mobilizing society in a truly national effort to end one of the greatest injustices of our time.
To be sure, it will be increasingly difficult though far from impossible to meet the world's growing demand for food, and to do this in sustainable ways. Additional food must be produced using technologies that do not damage the natural resources that future generations will need in order to feed themselves; that do not fuel climate change, which weighs heavily on farmers; and that do not accelerate the disintegration of the delicate fabric of rural society.
But the challenge may not be as daunting as it seems. The rate of population growth will be much slower than over the past 50 years, and there is much room for reducing the vast quantities of food that are now wasted. Moreover, as people's incomes rise, they might more easily be persuaded to adopt healthier and more environmentally friendly diets than those taken up in the developed world. The double burden of malnutrition with hunger existing alongside obesity, diabetes, and other diseases of overconsumption clearly shows the increasing importance of global dietary rebalancing.
There is nothing really new about a commitment to hunger eradication. Indeed, the FAO was created in 1945 to bring about a world in which there would be "freedom from want," which, in the words of its founders, "means the conquest of hunger and the attainment of the ordinary needs of a decent, self-respecting life."
Because of the widespread fear in the postwar years of emerging global food shortages, the FAO, and the international community as a whole, focused mainly on food production - a focus that remained essentially the same in the following decades. Those investments yielded good returns: despite staggering global population growth, from 2.5 billion in 1945 to seven billion today, food availability per person has risen by more than 40 percent.
The problem is that hunger still persists on a vast scale; so, our focus must now shift to ensuring universal access to adequate food. This should be a top priority for governments and a goal embraced by citizens everywhere.
Breaking the vicious cycle of hunger and malnutrition requires complementing the focus on agriculture and rural development (more than 70 percent of the food-insecure population lives in rural areas of developing countries) with investment in other social and productive programs, including modest but predictable financial transfers to the poorest families. With the right policies in place, the incremental food demand created by these transfers, as well as by school meals programs and nutrition supplements for mothers and infants, could create opportunities for small-scale farmers to expand their output and improve their livelihoods.
In June, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon launched the Zero Hunger Challenge at the Rio+20 Sustainable Development Conference. The FAO has accepted this challenge, and is formally setting its sights on hunger eradication. I look forward with confidence to a progressive expansion in the number of member governments that commit themselves to moving as quickly as possible toward ending hunger and malnutrition within their borders - and to helping other countries to achieve the same goal.
It is never the wrong moment for the world to set its sights on ending hunger, once and for all. Now is the time.

Home I Blog I Is FOMO your worst enemy?
Does the overwhelming fear of missing out make you stray from the budget?
You've been eyeing up a certain something online for a while now – maybe it's a nice pair of shoes or phone. It's just more than you can sensibly afford and you know you don't strictly need it, so you've been good and held off. But then you check on it again and see "Only one left in stock!" and the next thing you know, your credit card is in your hand and you're punching those digits into the checkout screen.
Does this sound familiar? It may just be that the fear of missing out (FOMO) is stopping you from staying true to your saving strategies.
Do you suffer from "Fear of Missing Out?" Don't let it deviate you from your financial goals. Contact one of our advisers today.
If you're struggling with an apprehension that others are having more rewarding experiences than you, you're not alone. In fact, almost a quarter of Australian adults experience FOMO, according to the Australian Psychological Society's Stress and wellbeing in Australia survey 2015. This negative emotion can affect mental health and influence our spending judgements. In truth, giving in to FOMO is a kind of self-sabotage, because it causes us to impulse buy when we simply don't stand to benefit from it in the long-run.
There's a whole world to experience out there, but don't let your FOMO lead you to overspend.
So, how can you determine if the fear of missing out is really affecting your spending?
Regret: Like a bad night out, FOMO purchases can leave you feeling guilt and regret in the morning. You might even catch yourself trying to justify your purchase with your guilt – "I feel bad but this feeling means I won't do it again".
Rationalisation: Often, people will attempt to rationalise bad spending using their FOMO. For example, you could use a big sale to justify purchases by proclaiming you've made huge savings – but if you've bought something you didn't need simply because it was discounted, have you really saved anything?
Work room into your budget for your FOMO-driven purchases.
Once you've identified how the fear of missing out is holding you back from achieving your financial goals, what are you going to do to change your habits?
Sympathising with your future-self is one strategy. You're trying to save money for a reason – and that likely comes back to the desire for financial freedom. Rather than enjoying momentary happiness from your FOMO purchase, think about the security and stability you'll have in the future if you save your money instead.
That said, is it ever really reasonable to suggest that you should be miserable at the moment in the name of chasing a brighter future? Find the middle ground. Workroom into your budget for your FOMO-driven purchases, and then stick to that allowance. This way, you're letting yourself enjoy the "now" without sacrificing the future.
We understand why you might feel the FOMO and we want to help you overcome it. Set a plan that lets you enjoy life and all of its treasures. Get in touch today.

Q: Combining member access operators with overloaded call operator Given a class Foo with overloaded Boo* operator()(unsigned int), how should the overloaded operator be accessed?
I originally tried
std::unique_ptr<Foo> foo_ptr(new Foo);
Boo* boo_ptr = foo_ptr(1);

But this doesn't work, so I tried:
std::unique_ptr<Foo> foo_ptr(new Foo);
Boo* boo_ptr = foo_ptr->(1);

but this doesn't work either (and I didn't really expect it to). Instead I have to do
std::unique_ptr<Foo> foo_ptr(new Foo);
Boo* boo_ptr = (*foo_ptr)(1);

Which is more verbose than declaring a method in Foo such as ByIndex(unsigned int) instead (and making it shorter and more succinct was why I overloaded the operator in the first place).
Is there a way to do this without having to use the * operator to get the base value of the pointer?

A: No, you have to dereference the pointer to access the object; so the only ways to call the operator are
(*foo_ptr)(1)
foo_ptr->operator()(1);

A: One way is to make a reference:
std::unique_ptr<Foo> foo_ptr(new Foo);
Foo& foo_ref = *foo_ptr;

Boo* boo_ptr = foo_ref(1);

Besides that, I think Mike Seymour is correct that there's nothing else you can do to invoke operator().

Re: What's a conditional access policy?
What's a conditional access policy?
Conditional access policies help organizations improve security and compliance. They are used to fine-tune and customize the authentication of your users in Microsoft 365. Let me explain.
In the simplest terms, it's a series of if statements. For example, you can create a conditional access policy to require all members of a particular group to use Multi-Factor Authentication to log in to Microsoft 365. "If the user is part of group X then require MFA".
You can set a lot of different options in conditional access policies. For example, you can create a policy so a certain set of users can only log in from specific IP addresses. "If the user is part of group X and not logging in from IP address 1.1.1.1 then block access"

Hi, @John Gruber, Conditional Access policy helps to resolve a lot of problems. It allows administrators to take a control of what applications users can access and which are restricted for them.
You can control users, groups, cloud apps, client app, device platform, location, sign-in risk, multi-factor authentication, device to be marked as compliant, domain joined, approved apps.
For those who are interested in data safety, Microsoft 365 backup solution information would be also very useful, as it would help to recover information in cases of unpredictable deletion or system errors. Check more information here.

Flame-retardant ABS alloy need to be dried before processing, the general dry conditions: 70-90 ℃, 2-4 hours (without drying of the production if manufactured not more than 20 days).
Avoid contacting with the resin dust or debris during the production and operation, the plastic melt can't be stayed in the heating tube for a long time during an injection cycle, the residence time depends on the size of the pipe, the amount of storage and the material temperature generally. In general, the tube temperature should below 180 ℃ and the retention time should not more than 30 minutes.
†The proposed processing temperature on the nozzle parts should be 70℃-175℃, and the back parts should drop off 5℃ each area. The specific temperature can be adjusted according to the actual processing conditions to set the processing temperature do not be raised at one step. It is recommended that the temperature would rise slowly from 160 ℃ and should be as low as possible with a premise of molding.


Contemporary dining room rugs bring more to a room than just color. They help tie a boardroom and give literal and visual warmth to an area. Carpets come in different shapes and sizes and usually play an important role in the larger decorating scheme, including the visual enhancement of pieces like tables. One of the most visually interesting ways to introduce a carpet into the decorating scheme is to synchronize it with a round table.
The carpet itself plays many roles in interior decoration. In very practical terms, it brings warmth to a floor of hard and cold wood, as well as adds color to the area. When selecting the carpet for the circle in the plaza configuration, would-be decorators should have a couple of things in mind. Selecting a rug whose color contrasts with the color of the table will make the table stand out even more. For example, a red carpet or cream colored light will make a dark black lacquer table stand out more than a black carpet would.
The carpet should protect the plant, as well as look good. When looking for a square carpet to put under a circular table, the table should be measured to determine how wide it is, and then at least 2 feet, should be added to that. The reason is that when dinner guests take out their chairs, the carpet should still be under the legs of the chair to avoid chafing on the floor. Round on square configurations means that some areas of the floor will be well protected, but others will be in more danger of being brushed by the chair because, by virtue of the shape of the table, some of the chairs will sit near the exposed floor what others.

MASkargo boost to Malaysia eCommerce
KULA LUMPUR: June 06, 2017. MASkargo has begun a five times weekly A330 freighter service between Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KIA), Kota Kinabalu and Kuching.
In addition to general cargo, the company said the new service is designed to cater to the growing e-commerce and courier business between East and West Malaysia.
"As the Asian cross-border eCommerce is booming, MASkargo is poised to tap into this market given the world class warehouse facilities we operate and our vast belly and freighter network," said MASkargo CEO Ahmad Luqman Mohd Azmi. "This express freighter service to East Malaysia is timely as we intend to position KLIA to be a major e-commerce hub in the region," he added.
In March Malaysia prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced the introduction of a Digital Free Trade Zone with support from Alibaba.
The eCommerce enabler is partnering with the state-run Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) to host what Alibaba executive chairman Jack Ma describes as an Electronic World Trade Platform (eWTP).
He said Malaysia had been looking for ways to position itself as a fulfillment and logistics center, expand its Internet economy and attract foreign investment.
"Alibaba Group is at the forefront of private-sector development of e-commerce solutions, and their ambitions to enable trade, particularly for SMEs, make them the perfect partner in this new initiative," Najib said. "This is an exciting development for the country, and to be an early participant in eWTP will provide a plethora of opportunities for Malaysian organizations."
In addition to Alibaba and its Cainiao Network, other partners in the eWTP project include Malaysia Airports Holdings (MAH), Ant Financial and the Malaysian banks CIMB and Maybank.
Alibaba and Malaysia expect to extend their partnership to include logistics, cloud computing and online finance with Cainiao working with MAH to set up an e-commerce and logistics hub at KIA.
MASkargo said the new service to East Malaysia leaves early in the morning from KIA, allowing arrival shipments to be processed before noon.

*Medica Superspecialty Hospital conducts Eastern India's first Artificial Heart Implant (LVAD)*
~ Offers a new lease of life to a 54-year patient from Chhattisgarh ~
Kolkata, 25th March, 2021: Medica Group of Hospitals, the largest private hospital chain in Eastern India, at its flagship facility Medica Superspecialty Hospital in Kolkata conducted a critical operation for around 6 hours to retrieve a 54 year old gentleman, from Chhattisgarh, and pioneered an ingenuous marvel in the treatment of heart implants by having the first LVAD ( Left Ventricular Assist Device ) – Artificial Heart implant in Eastern India, where the team of experienced doctors from departments of Cardiac Surgery, CTVS and Cardiology joined hands together for this unique case. The team put in their combined efforts under the leadership of Dr. Kunal Sarkar, Senior Vice Chairman, Director and Head of Cardiac Surgery at Medica Superspecialty Hospital who was ably supported by the Cardiology team led by Prof. Dr. Rabin Chakraborty, Senior Vice Chairman Medica Superspecialty Hospital, Dr. Dilip Kumar, Senior Consultant & Director Cath Lab Services, Department of Cardiology, Dr. Saptarshi Roy, Senior Consultant & Cardiac Surgeon, and experienced CTVS team, Dr. Arpan Chakraborty and Dr. Dipanjan Chatterjee helped achieve this momentous feat on 22nd March 2021. Having set benchmarks in patient care, Medica Superspecialty Hospital, which has a world-class comprehensive department for heart failure and heart transplant, at the facility, in Kolkata, is widely known for its excellence in cardiac care has now added another feather to its cap, after successfully completing Eastern India's first comprehensive treatment by Artificial Heart Implant Program with extensive options for treatment and management of congestive heart failure.
Sudheer Kumar Singh (Name Changed) had sustained a severe heart attack 12 weeks ago which caused acute damage to his cardiac function.
Dr. Kunal Sarkar, Senior Vice Chairman, Director and Head of Cardiac Surgery at Medica Superspecialty Hospital who led the team of surgeons said, "The patient had visited us in a critically ill state with a failing heart and rapidly deteriorating health. We had no recourse but advise to undergo a heart transplantation or artificial heart implant. Since this was the first of its kind in this part of the country, we were extra cautious and currently after a successful surgery, he is under constant monitoring of his implant."
Dr. Sarkar further elaborated, "The Artificial Heart Device (Heartmate 2) is a cutting edge, titanium Impeller pump with ruby bearings, which pumps blood at 9000- 12000 revolutions per minute. It works on electric current and wearable batteries that needs to be recharged every 12 hours. They are mobile and once patients recover; they can be physically active. We aim to be one of the main South Asian Centers for Advanced Cardiopulmonary Support."
Heart failure is a major health concern worldwide including in India. Twenty million people world-wide suffer from heart failure, out of which India witnesses two million new cases every year with at least a third of them requiring advanced therapy to survive. The mortality rate in heart failure patients is as high as 30-40%, within a year of diagnosis. In India, the treatment for heart failure is restricted to medical therapy, revascularization therapy (restoration/augmentation of blood supply to the heart), valvular surgeries and cardiac resynchronization (heart pacing) therapy.
Dr. Alok Roy, Chair FICCI Health Services Committee and Chairman, Medica Group of Hospitals, stated, "Advances in science and medicine have made heart transplants safer and a real option in managing cases of end stage heart failure.
Cardiac care at Medica Superspecialty Hospital is well established and ranked amongst the finest in the country. Our goal is to provide the highest quality of patient-centered care, right here in India, utilizing our interdisciplinary approach, enormous talent and the multi-skilled resources within our team of highly accomplished doctors led by Dr. Kunal Sarkar. I on behalf of Medica applaud their feat of the first LVAD in Eastern India. I am sure we will be able to become the Centre of Excellence and will benefit many of our patients who will no longer have to seek treatment abroad for heart failure."
This is a part of Medica's Advanced Heart Lung Support program, which has performed more than 100 ECMO's, numerous Heart transplants and now, the first Artificial Heart Implant.
About Medica Group of Hospitals:
Medica Group of Hospitals, one of the major and fast-growing chains of hospitals in Eastern India today, has built and managed numerous healthcare facilities across the Eastern region over the past few years. The healthcare chain launched its operations with Medica North Bengal Clinic (MNBC) in Siliguri in 2008 and soon followed up with its flagship Hospital – Medica Superspecialty Hospital (MSH) – in Kolkata in 2010. The group has footprints in West Bengal, Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar, and Assam.


2) Come rain or come shine, she went for a walk every day along the beach, sometimes barely able to see as her tears mixed with the rain soaking her face.
I sometimes think my own grieving process might have been easier if I'd had a job to occupy my brain and all those empty hours. One of the special challenges of a later-in-life divorce is that you may be retired and no longer have a structure to your day, so you will need to find one.
When my ex walked out on me, all I wanted to do was curl up in bed and cry. And for some people, that is the way they will heal. But I was scared that if I took to my bed, I might never come out.
Like my mum, I didn't want my kids to worry about me, so I decided to try and follow her example.
1) I forced myself to eat well even though I had no appetite. (I lost 27 pounds in a year. They don't call it the Divorce Diet for nothing!) I bought myself an electric wok so I could stir-fry meat and veggies every night. It took ten minutes (including chopping), it was nutritious and left me with little cleaning up to do.
2) I set my alarm for seven every morning and forced myself to get up even if I'd only managed to fall asleep two or three hours earlier. Before I had time for second thoughts, I pulled on my clothes, peed, brushed my teeth, made my bed, and went out for a walk along the river path. Like my mum, there were times I could barely see for tears, and once I came back from my walk, I didn't want to disturb that freshly made bed. Later, I bought myself a Fitbit and challenged myself to walking 10,000 steps a day. At first it was hard…but in time it became second nature.
3) My friends were great and rallied around me. Like my mum, I accepted any and all invitations and made 2016 my year of saying 'yes'. If someone invited me somewhere or to do something – and it wasn't dangerous and I could afford it – I said 'yes', and through doing that, my world started to open up in ways I couldn't imagine.
This routine got me through that first awful year. At the end of it, my emotional health was still pretty raw and patchy, but I was physically healthier (I have the blood work results to prove it!) and fitter than I had been in over a decade.

Silent Minute Prayers for Peace
How to do this prayer practice:
1. Be encouraged by those who have prayed for peace during other generations
In 1940 during the blitz on Britian, Major Wellesly Tudor-Pole proposed that people be asked to pause for one minute at 9 PM every evening to pray for peace. He is quoted as saying,
"There is no power on earth that can withstand the united cooperation on spiritual levels of men and women of goodwill everywhere. It is for this reason that the continued and widespread observance of the Silent Minute is of such vital importance in the interest of human welfare."
The idea gained the backing of King George IV, Sir Winston Churchill, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt who had allied troops observe it as well. On Sunday, Nov 10, 1940, BBC radio began playing the chimes of Big Ben to call the nation to pray for peace during the Silent Minute.
The following is a quote that shows the effect that this moment of prayer had. After the war In 1945 a Nazi official told a British intelligence officer, "During the war, you had a secret weapon for which we could find no counter measure, which we did not understand, but it was very powerful. It was associated with the striking of the Big Ben each evening. I believe you called it the 'Silent Minute.'
After the 9-11 terrorist attack, a woman in London named Dorothy Forster organized a revival of the Silent Minute and many have joined her in praying through conflicts and wars since then in Iraq and Afghanistan.
2. Create your own daily prayer reminder.
The tolling of Big Ben was an effective reminder to prayer during World War II and today we can make our own reminders to pray at precisely 9 PM via electronic means, such as setting an alarm on a clock or a cell phone.
3. Pray for peace for one minute.
During your Silent Minute, ask God to bring peace to areas of the world that are in conflict and to send his helping presence to refugees and victims of war.
Personal tips:
I was unaware that the Silent Minute existed until I received an email being passed around encouraging praying people in the U.S. to adopt this practice and to all pray at 9 PM for the safety of our country and our troops and for a return to being a godly nation.
Traditional or Scriptural Basis for this prayer practice:
In the Bible we are told to pray for peace.
Psalm 122:6-8 "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels. For the sake of my brothers and friends I will say, 'Peace be within you.'"

A Plaisance woman was yesterday placed on bail after denying that she falsified her passport application.
It is alleged that on January 25, 2011, Carlotta Meusa, 35, of 75 Prince William Street, Plaisance, falsely declared her date of birth as October 27, 1993, in her application to procure a passport from the Central Immigration and Passport Office in Georgetown.
Meusa's attorney, Dexter Todd, made an application for reasonable bail if she was not released on her own recognisance. Todd further stated that his client had no reason to fail to appear in court for the purpose of clearing her name.
Bail was set at $50,000 by Magistrate Leron Daly, who adjourned the matter until July 19 for statements.


She was smiling but she wouldn't open her eyes…argh!
Well here we are post surgery day one. So far so very good. Miss Courtney has been the model patient. Truly. She hasn't gone after her surgical site which is on the top left side of her chest. She has left it alone, no tugging or hitting it. Miraculous if you ask me.
She is taking all her meds like a champ. She is on a new antibiotic for the next seven days as a precaution. She has only had one small seizure today which is again, flippin miraculous.
She is still sleeping most of the day. We hope to be able to back off her seizure meds a little at a time later this week. We had increased them to cover her seizure threshold while we were waiting for the VNS to be replaced. Now that it's been done we can back off them a little. Hopefully the seizures will stay at bay.
What happens now? Well we see the Doc on Tuesday to make sure she is healing well and to check her surgical site. Then we see the Neurosurgeon in a month, to check the VNS and make sure all is well.
Other than that, the Doc asked that we stay home for the next four weeks to give Miss Courtney the best chance of healing and to give her weakened immune system a chance to strengthen. Also we need her to gain some more weight. We can't start PT again until October to allow her surgery site to completely heal.
So we will take one day at a time, the same as we always have. We trust in God's plan for our girl. Now that we have done everything that can possibly be done to help her fight her seizures, the rest is up to God.
I have been enjoying extra snuggle time and lots of bedside singing in the last 36 hours. I would not have it any other way.
I ask for your prayers not only for Courtney and her healing from this surgery, for her strength to fight the seizures, but for me and her Mama and chief caregiver. As a Type A personality being home for so long is a serious challenge for this people person but I know it needs to happen so Courtney has the very best chance we can give her.
Thanks to all that have so very kindly donated through PayPal and through the mail. We have set these funds aside to be used to pay Courtney's medical bills which are now rolling in daily from her last two ER admissions. In a few weeks the co-pays from her surgery start arriving. YAY!
Jerry is working his network like a champ to try and find a new job in the next few weeks. This two week lay-off extension is a Godsend, truly. We are entrusting this job search to St. Joseph.
