Taking Action to Eliminate Stigma and Discrimination in the HIV Response in the Caribbean by 2015
Concept Note
The Pan Caribbean Partnership against HIV/AIDS (PANCAP) is mounting a programme of activities under the theme, Justice for ALL. This programme has the full support of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). The UN Secretary General Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean has been requested to lead in the process and thereby help to accelerate a meaningful response that would contribute towards an "AIDS free generation ".
The aim of the Justice for All programme is to promote activities consistent with the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights to which all countries are committed. It is more specifically intended to achieve one of the goals of the United Nations High Level Meeting Political Declaration (2011) to eliminate stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV by 2015 and to uphold the human rights and dignity of all.
The programme involves holding a series of national community conversations/consultations between November 2013 and March 2014 and one regional consultation in Jamaica in April 2014. Participants will include a cross section of stakeholders—parliamentarians/judiciary, civil society, private sector, faith organizations and youth. Media workers will also be engaged. These conversations/ consultations will be informed by a status report on the issues that perpetuate stigma and discrimination and solutions designed to eliminate them. In this regard it will be complemented by the Report of the Global Commission on HIV and the Law, Anti-stigma Framework and the Regional Model Policy and Model Antidiscrimination Legislation, developed by PANCAP and a series of relevant outcomes from activities undertaken by the UN agencies, The Futures Group, the Caribbean HIV AIDS Alliance, among others. It is expected that this process will result in countries devising their own strategies toward the elimination of stigma and discrimination by 2015.
A Pan Caribbean Declaration with actionable recommendations is also intended as a feasible outcome of the regional event aimed at framing concrete policies and actions. Among the more specific elements of the Justice for All programme on which the national and regional conversations will focus are:
- Enhancing the family spirit in the form of national and regional solidarity to support and care for those in need
- Increasing access to Treatment including affordable medicines
- Reducing gender inequality including violence against women, girls and children
- Promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights, in the context of self-worth
- Achieving legislative reforms for modifying and repealing discriminatory laws that infringe human rights
- Providing targets and indicators for tracking progress
- Agreeing on a Pan Caribbean Roadmap
- Submitting a Declaration for approval by Pan Caribbean Heads of Government
- Enhancing the family spirit in the form of national and regional solidarity to support and care for those in need
- Utilising community systems and strengthening partnerships
- Building national programmes directed to social protection, coordination and collaboration
- Drawing on Regional/international support systems for national priorities
- Increasing access to Treatment including affordable medicines
- Maintaining and expanding treatment access in particular getting treatment to key populations
- Identifying sources of support to finance treatment for those who need it which may even with lessened funding from traditional external sources
- Taking action to maintain and increase control and supply of affordable drugs including consolidated approach to drug regulations
- Reducing gender inequality including violence against women, girls and children
- Establishing the fundamental problems and challenges based on factual information
- Mobilizing community based programmes and policies geared to solving the problems making provision for the inclusion of men and boys
- Identifying complementary social and legal actions
- Promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights, in the context of self –worth
- Clarify the issues involved in "human sexuality", "reproductive health" and "reproductive rights"
- Identify appropriate national, regional and international responses or models including the value and implementation of health and family life programmes
- Identify short term and long term goals
- Achieving legislative reforms for modifying and repealing discriminatory laws that infringe human rights
- Relating reforms to the border human rights agenda inscribed in declarations and resolutions that cut across gender, race, class and religion
- Identifying steps that have been taken at the national level so far and the gaps that are to be addressed
- Establishing what is required to deal with the gaps
- Providing targets and indicators for tracking progress
- Establishing targets and indicators for each of the issues
- Creating timelines to 2015 and then beyond 2015
- Striving to identify at least 2 measurable results for each element of the progrmame
Exclusively for the Regional consultation will include the following additional elements:
- Agreeing on a Pan Caribbean Roadmap
- Identifying priorities within each element recommended for consideration
- Recommending issues and targets that can best be done at the regional level
- Identifying the institutional focal points to take the lead in advancing the roadmap
- Providing options for financing the implementation of the roadmap
- Submitting a Declaration for approval by Pan Caribbean Heads of Government
- Coming with no more than 10 actionable recommendations to be included in this declaration

Fisheries Commissioner Maria Damanaki has called for an end to "this nightmare of discards". Talking to the UK newspaper The Guardian about the "Fish Fight" campaign, launch by celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, she continued: "we can't go on like this…we need a new policy".
The practice of discarding fish, where unwanted or non-allowed catches is thrown back overboard, has been severely criticised by environmentalists and the fisheries sector alike. In the North Sea alone it is estimated that 1 million tonnes of fish are discarded every year.
The Commissioner said that the reforms were likely to be phased in over a "transition period" of several years, but she insisted that the end result must be an end to discards.

Abstract Within the past few years, a variety of compounds that mimic biopolymers have been developed. All of these unnatural oligomers are prepared by iterative syntheses, which are amenable to combinatorial strategies. Peptides continue to be popular targets for mimicry, and there is growing interest in targeting oligosaccharides. The incorporation of unnatural oligomers into compounds that adopt defined structures, such as helices or sheets, has emerged as an exciting new area of unnatural oligomer research.

Tonight was family night with my girls and wonderful husband, so I wanted to whip up something easy, fun and delicious for all of us. I had the privilege of trying this recipe last week with the in-laws and loved it!
Since the hubby wasn't present when I first had these, I thought I would treat him to this salty-sweet and creamy bite-sized recipe.
I guess you could call this more of an appetizer, but these were perfect as a side as well.
So, here's the recipe and a nice big picture to drool over. Yum.

The original pattern I drew back in 09.
The box of parts as of today.
I'd even forgotten what some of the fabric looked like - how sad.
Well time to jump into action and get something done with this.
I'm going to try very hard to not let myself work on anything
else till this is finished - we'll see how that goes.
Here are a few links to show how I got to this point so far.

If the world is so confident about UK economic policy, why has sterling been hit so hard by the markets? Well, I think we know the answer to that one, so try a harder one. To what extent will a weak pound be a blessing, or a curse, in the year ahead?
Obviously this is a keen issue for many families, as this holiday season is traditionally the time when people plan their next holiday season – where they will go in the spring or summer. And for anyone planning to go abroad, the plunge of the pound is a disaster. Expect a boom in people going to the few countries with even weaker currencies than we do: hoteliers in Turkey and South Africa, stand by.
But if there is going to be a global recession, and something like that is going to happen, a weak currency does in the short term at least help boost demand. You could almost say that it is a benefit to have an economy and a Government in which the world has so little confidence.
A couple of stories to illustrate this. One comes from a friend who plays the piano in an Italian restaurant in London. I was worrying that business must be terrible, given that one of the first things people cut down on when they are feeling poor is eating out. No, he said, all their customers were tourists from Europe who were flocking to London to do their Christmas shopping. The restaurant was full every night.
The other was an acquaintance who had moved to the UK to set up a hedge fund in London. Why on earth had he chosen London when he could have based it anywhere in the world? Well, London used to be expensive but now he could get offices cheaply and could hire high- quality staff. The only other realistic alternative was New York, and our capital was now more cost-effective.
So while it is true that many businesses have been savaged by the fall in the pound, particularly those that need to import goods or services, a lower pound should, on balance, give a boost to the economy. It will take a while for exporters to benefit fully because there simply isn't much demand in the main export area, the eurozone. The most recent data suggests that the combination of the soaring euro and the lack of international demand is hitting German business confidence even harder than the burden of debt and the lack of domestic demand is hitting UK confidence. The danger is that the fall in sterling will get out of control and start to have perverse effects.
You have to start by recognising that the pace and extent of the pound's collapse in the past year has been greater than at any stage since sterling left the gold standard in 1931. It has fallen by nearly 25 per cent. That is worse than the Second Word War. It is worse than the devaluations of 1949 and 1967. It is worse than the dreadful 1970s, when we had to get the International Monetary Fund to bail us out with a loan. It is worse than the ejection from the European exchange rate mechanism (ERM) in 1992.
After the 1967 devaluation, the pound dipped by 13 per cent for a year, then jumped back to the norm as the devaluation moved out of the statistics. (If you are wondering why the current devaluation is greater than the 1949 one when the pound fell from $4.00 to $2.80, it is because the trade-weighted fall was lower than the fall against the dollar as sterling area countries devalued along with the pound.)
So what is our past experience of devaluations? It is a mixed bag.
Starting with the most recent, the exit from the ERM was highly successful. It made sterling super-competitive and there was hardly any feed through into inflation because demand was low. Due to slack in the economy, business could not put prices up. After the collapse in the 1970s, the picture was more confused, but I think it would be fair to say that most of the competitive advantage we gained was thrown away in higher inflation. That was certainly the case after the 1967 devaluation.
The 1949 devaluation was effective in the sense that the old exchange rate was clearly unsustainable, but since many other countries devalued too, we did not gain much advantage for very long. And finally the 1931 devaluation. Well that was indeed a success as it enabled the UK to make a faster recovery from the Depression than any other major economy.
So what about this one? Simon Ward, economist at New Star, questions the consensus view that the lower currency carries little inflation risk. The output gap now is not as large as in 1992 and though headline inflation will come down (thanks to falling commodity prices), he fears that it might not come down as fast as the Bank of England expects.
That would lead to two dangers – one that the Bank can't cut rates further since to do so would not be credible, the other that confidence in the UK's financial management would face some kind of systemic collapse.
The former seems to me less of a concern, just because we are at a level where further cuts will be ineffectual. You can see what has happened in the US and Japan: rates go to zero, or just about, and nothing happens.
The risk of a collapse of confidence in the UK's creditworthiness must surely be a real one. Next year we could end up with a fiscal deficit of more than 10 per cent of GDP. Our national debt, if you include the liabilities of the Royal Bank of Scotland now that it is majority-owned by the taxpayer, would become the highest in the world relative to GDP. Even without RBS (and I think that is a fairer calculation), it looks as though it will go from under 40 per cent of GDP to something close to 80 per cent. I don't think Gordon Brown has any idea of the contempt in which he is held in the rest of the world. I sat at lunch next to a top European politician a few months ago and his assessment was unrepeatable. (He cheered up noticeably when I said that the PM couldn't win an election.)
The big point here is that a competitive currency is helpful going into a global downturn, but if it is associated with a collapse of confidence in the Government, it can be dangerous. Most obviously, the cost of funding the deficit will rise and that will crowd out other borrowers. Fortunately, I don't think we are quite at that tipping point yet.
So I suppose you could say the fall in the pound is not yet a disaster in itself, and if the interest rate recovers some in the months ahead, it will be a modest help. All currencies have their day in the dog- house – the euro has had one, the dollar too – so I don't think we should despair. But the underlying fiscal position of the country is quite dreadful and I worry about the ability of the Government to fund its debts. The collapse of sterling makes that harder still.
With the right deal, the taxpayer could save Land Rover and Jaguar
A bank, a car manufacturer and a chain of shops – all under pressure, all calling for government help. How does the government decide which to support?
We know part of the answer. Royal Bank of Scotland is bailed out and Woolworths is not. The bank is systemic to the economy, for bank deposits have an implicit 100 per cent guarantee. And the cost of the largest business bank group in the land collapsing does bear thinking about. We know that Woolworths, despite its history and its size, can disappear without too many tears. It is horrible for those involved, but its sites will be used for other purposes and money not spent there will be spent elsewhere.
But Land Rover and Jaguar are somewhere in between. A huge number of suppliers and dealers depend on them and they export many vehicles, bringing money into the country.
The Government rescued British Leyland and, though it sold it on, the eventual outcome was that its mass manufacturing division collapsed. Jaguar and Rover were part of that group and the Government is understandably chary of being sucked into an open-ended commitment that it cannot get out of.
Yet there does seem to be a strong case for some support. Tata, the new Indian owner, is under a lot of pressure at the moment but it is an honourable and competent company. True, it is more interested in Land Rover's potential than Jaguar's, but Jaguar's new XF range is a cracker and the astounding thing about a car company is that one product can transform its fortunes. It is also a highly cyclical business and this cycle is particularly vicious. Tata has, so-to-speak, bought Jaguar and Land Rover at the "wrong" time.
The trick will be to make sure that the commitment is not open-ended and I would suggest that there is some kind of bonus payment so that when the companies revive, the taxpayer gets some benefit. Maybe not a Jaguar on every drive but something for the risks the taxpayer is being asked to take on?Reuse content

We came from somewhere out there.
Our grandparents and their grandparents were born in Kentucky, and my brother and I grew up in Louisville. Like many black people from the south, my family has been unable to trace our lineage beyond slavery, so we don't know where in Africa our ancestors from. Just that we came from somewhere out there. All we had to go on was an oral family history that maintained that we were, in the words of my grandmother, Tootsie, "black, white, and (American) Indian." This is the case for a lot of black families; the idea that we have "Indian in our family" is a bit of a cultural meme in black America at this point, and I've always wanted to examine how true that actually is.

- Order Process for Purchasing Assistant
Orders over $10,000
All orders over $10,000 must be processed via a Purchase Requisition. Please contact Trudi Baker (firstname.lastname@example.com) at 951-827-3023. Note: No Purchase of a piece of equipment that meets the UC definition of equipment ($5,000 including tax and shipping) is to be purchased via KST page or Procard process.
Orders under $10,000
No Purchase of a piece of equipment that meets the UC definition of equipment ($5,000 including tax and shipping) is to be purchased via KST page or Procard process. In order to allow cardholders to purchase up to $10,000, Purchasing and their Procurement Card Merchant Bank (U.S. Bank) will set up "ghost" accounts for individual cardholders who have been approved by their department financial officer. This "ghost" card will only allow purchases to KST and no plastic is presented at the time of purchase. KST will have a list of all valid cardholders along with their UCR NETID in order to validate their purchases.
The following are procedures to obtain a KST "ghost" account for a single transaction limit up to $10,000.
Current Procurement Cardholders
- Financial Managers must send an email to the Procurement Card Coordinator, Chris Truett at email@example.com requesting a ghost account for KST and the single transaction limit they are requesting not to exceed $10,000. If the default FAU is different than their normal Procurement Card, please indicate the FAU.
- Once a cardholder has been approved for a "ghost" account, the department SAA must set the cardholder as a transactor in eBuy PC Plus through EACS.
Personnel without a Procurement Card
- For those employees that currently do not have a Procurement Card, they will need to obtain training and fill out the appropriate forms in order to receive a ghost account and the SAA must set the cardholder as a transactor as noted above. If a department has any questions regarding the Procurement Card or training, please contact the Procurement Card Coordinator, Chris Truett at 8-3008.
How to Place an order
The following are instructions on how to place your orders. (Personnel that are not authorized to place an order may configure or save a quote and forward that quote to their Purchasing Assistant or person authorized to place orders with the Procurement Card).

The UPS Foundation Gives a Head Start to Sweet Dreamzzz
UPS Foundation donated $8,000 to Sweet Dreamzzz for their Early Childhood Sleep Education Program at Hartford Head Start, Detroit.
Sweet Dreamzzz' Early Childhood Sleep Education Program is designed to educate low-income preschoolers, their parents and their teachers on the importance of a good night's sleep and give them tools to accomplish that. The program includes enrichment activities and a sleep kit for each child and family, including blankets, hygiene items, a Sweet Dreamzzz Teddy Bear, and more.
Nancy Maxwell, SD Executive Director states, "Sweet Dreamzzz greatly appreciates the partnership and support of UPS. This ground-breaking grant will provide our full-service Early Childhood Sleep Education Program to the students, families, and teachers of Hartford Head Start Agency in Detroit, MI. This Program has helped to change the sleep routines of young children and, just as important, has helped to create reading and bonding time with families."
Established in 1951 and based in Atlanta, GA., The UPS Foundation identifies specific areas where its backing clearly impacts social issues. In support of this strategic approach, The UPS Foundation has identified the following focus areas for giving: nonprofit effectiveness, encouraging diversity, community safety and environmental sustainability.
In 2011, The UPS Foundation distributed more than $45.3 million worldwide through grants that benefit organizations or programs such as the Sweet Dreamzzz Early Childhood Sleep Education Program and provide support for building stronger communities.
"The UPS Foundation is committed to funding impactful programs that make a meaningful difference in our communities – so we are proud to support Sweet Dreamzzz' efforts to provide comfort and rest for a better tomorrow," said Ken Sternad, president of The UPS Foundation.
Founded in 1998, Sweet Dreamzzz, Inc. is a nonprofit organization committed to improving the health, well-being and academic performance of at-risk children and their families by providing sleep education and bedtime essentials.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) may be from the same party as the new administration, but that didn't stop him from directing a serious line of questioning at President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of State.
"Let me ask you," Rubio said during the confirmation hearing for former Exxon CEO, Rex Tillerson, citing Russia's actions in Syria and Chechnya. "Is Vladimir Putin a war criminal?"
"I would not use that term," Tillerson said.
Rubio was clearly displeased with Tillerson's answer and began to describe documented terms of Russian crimes in Syria and Chechnya.
Let me describe the situation in Aleppo. [Putin] has directed his military to conduct a devastating campaign. He's targeted schools, markets — not just assisted the Syrians in doing it — his military targeted schools, markets, other civilian infrastructure resulting in the deaths of thousands of civilians. This is not the first time Mr. Putin was involved in campaigns of this kind. Back when he was just appointed prime minister before he was elected… there was a series of bombings and they blamed it on the Chechans…Mr. Putin ordered the air force to bomb their capital with scud missiles to hit hospitals, the main market…137 people died instantly…He used battlefield weapons against civilians…an estimated 300,000 civilians were killed and the city was destroyed.
There was a credible body of reporting, open source and other, that all the bombings were part of a black flag operation on the part of the FSB [Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation] and if you want to know the motivation, here it is. Putin's approval ratings before the attacks were 31 percent. By mid August of that year it was 78 percent in just three months. Based on this information and what's publicly in the record about what happened in Aleppo and the Russian military, you are not prepared to say Vladimir Putin and his military violated the rules of war and conducted war crimes in Aleppo?
And despite the clear picture, Tillerson's response was still ambiguous.
"Those are very serious charges to make," Tillerson said. "I would want to have much more information before reaching a conclusion."
In Syria, the Russian air force has targeted hospitals as a strategy of war, resulting in the death of thousands of civilians. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called for Russia to be investigated for war crimes last October.
Tillerson's failure to condemn Putin's directives in the Middle Eastern nation clearly wasn't acceptable to Rubio.

A friend of mine sent me this link about Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner appearance at Emerald City Comicon. Apparently, they spent most of their time cracking jokes and doing Picard impersonations to the delight of the crowd.
Someone in the comments section pointed out that the actors are now as old as the cast of The Original Series was when The Next Generation premiered. I didn't bother to verify this on IMDB, but the time differences are pretty much the same. I was a big fan of The Next Generation back in the day, and I remember how old The Original Series seemed back then.
Naturally, this led me to thinking about grandfather clocks.
When The Next Generation originally aired, it was shown at 10:30 on Saturday nights in my particular neck of the backwoods. So every weekend, my brothers and I would gather around the television to catch the latest exciting adventures of Captain Picard and crew. It was important to get there on time since my parents didn't own a VCR then (or have cable, for that matter). So anything that distracted from the show was a major annoyance.
Now my father has always had a thing for clocks, and most of the rooms in the house had at least one clock of some kind. You would experience multiple mini time zone changes anytime you walked across a room. Most of the clocks didn't chime; however, three of the clocks in the TV room did. So, invariably, at a crucial moment for the crew of the starship Enterprise, one of the clocks would begin to chime, then another would, and then another until all 33 rings were finally completed.
Not having a DVR with a pause button, all we could do was to shake our fists at the sky or maybe go to the kitchen for some cheese puffs and hope for the best. Which would bring me back to my original point, but I'm not sure I ever actually had one.

On May 6, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed into law legislation restoring funds that had been cut from the state's Medicaid program. The new law also reauthorizes and finances Arizona's CHIP program, which had been eliminated in the state's budget. The cuts, which would have left 47,000 low-income children and 310,000 childless adults without health coverage, were intended to save money. However, the passage of federal healthcare reform requires that states maintain current levels of Medicaid and CHIP eligibility in order to receive future federal health aid.

Pulse dye laser, silicone, review needed post CO2 laser
Off the face areas are the most dangerous, esp. for CO2 laser due to lack of hair follicle. This is where the cells regenerate from. I would see your Specialist who did this, and he or she would known how to help you. I would start you on silicone dressings, possibly pulse steroid ointments (if it s raised) then gentle V BEAM laser. It could take up to one year to heal up. All the best. Dr Davin Lim Laser and aesthetic dermatologist, Brisbane. Australia.
CO2 laser burns on the chest
I would use Plato's Scar Serum twice daily and use local wound care. The skin should heal. Later, you may need some lighter laser treatments to help smooth the skin. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Scarring after CO2 Laser
The CO2 laser is an extremely powerful laser that generates heat in the skin in addition to ablating (removing) skin. When used off the face, extreme care must be used and should only be used by those experienced in treating non-facial skin. When scarring results, PROMPT treatment is paramount to reduce the risk of permanent scarring. Such treatments may include Pulse-Dye Lasers, Silicone Gel Sheets, Topical Steroids, and Intralesional (injected) steroids).I would recommend IMMEDIATE evaluation by a Physician who specializes in CO2 laser.

Two strains, JW 200 and JW 201, of an extreme thermophilic, non-spore-forming anaerobic bacterium were isolated from alkaline and slightly acidic hot springs located in Yellowstone National Park. Both strains were peritrichously flagellated rods. Cell size varied from 0.5–0.8 by 4–100 μm; coccoid-shaped cells of about 1 μm in diameter frequently occurred. Division was often unequal. Spheroplast-like forms were visible at the late logarithmic growth phase. The Gram reaction was variable. The DNA base composition of the two strains was between 37 and 39 mol% guanine plus cytosine as determined by buoyant density measurements and approximately 32% by the thermal denaturation method. The main fermentation products from hexoses were ethanol and CO2. Growth occurred between 37 and 78°C and from pH 4.4 to 9.8. The name Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus gen. nov., spec. nov. was proposed for the two, new isolates. Strain JW 200 was designated as the type strain.
