Stuck in ground-level traffic gridlock, many of us will have looked to the skies and dreamt of using the space above to fly to our destination. Beyond the prototype or ultra-limited production run, however, anything approaching a flying car has eluded even the most talented of automobile and aircraft designers.
One past project that highlighted the engineering difficulties was the AVE Mizar, a Californian dream from the early 1970s. The idea was to bolt the wing, tail and engine from a Cessna plane on to the top of a Ford Pinto, resulting in a car with a detachable set of flying components that could be left at the airport until needed. Although the Mizar did get off the ground, its inventor was killed when an attachment point from car to wing failed in flight.
Shared technology
Now the quest for such vehicles is being given an extra push by the growth of megacities, ever-increasing traffic congestion and an acceleration in global car sales. Many flying car ideas are not only coming of age right now, but are also practical. They use tried and proven technology – the same wings as planes, the same wheels and tyres as cars – with no Jules Verne-style anti-gravity paint to consign them to the realm of fantasy.

Terrafugia was set up by MIT graduates in 2006 and claims to have produced the world's first practical flying car. Although with its folding wing design, the company's first model – the Transition – makes a more convincing-looking plane than car.
The one that seems like it will get into buyers' hands first is the Liberty from Dutch flying car developer PAL-V. The three-wheel design has a wheel at the front that leans when the car turns on the road, making a safer and more graceful ground vehicle. This machine is an autogyro; it uses a large, windmilling rotor system on top to act as a wing, plus a driven propeller at the back to push it through the air.
The machine has evolved significantly since the project started in 2001, but the design is now set and heading towards regulatory approval. "We expect certification in 2018," says Bartjan Rietdijk, research and development manager, for what he says will be "the first ever commercially-available flying car".
High ambition
However, it is drones that are changing this niche sector rapidly. The technology for pilotless aircraft, whether used to deliver missiles or parcels, is swiftly maturing, and pressure from the likes of Amazon is both driving research and forcing regulatory change to permit their use.
The technology for pilotless aircraft, whether used to deliver missiles or parcels, is swiftly maturing
Uber, the company that has already disrupted taxi services around the world, recently published a white paper called Fast Forwarding to a Future of On-Demand Urban Air Transportation. It states: "Just as skyscrapers allowed cities to use limited land more efficiently, urban air transportation will use three-dimensional airspace to alleviate transportation congestion on the ground."
And congestion is set to rise. 2016 was another record-breaking year for global car sales. A report from Australia's Macquarie Bank says 88.1m cars and light commercial vehicles were sold worldwide in 2016, 4.8 per cent more than the previous year and the fastest rate of growth since 2013. That growth came not only from the developing world, but also the European Union where sales were up 7 per cent.
Uber's white paper backs small electric vehicles that can take off and land vertically to provide affordable and safe on-demand aviation "between suburbs and cities and, ultimately, within cities". It says such a system "will ultimately use autonomy technology to significantly reduce operator error". So not all Uber flying cabs will end up being driven by Bruce Willis wannabees acting out fantasies sparked by 1997 movie The Fifth Element.
Cleared for takeoff
Airbus, the European aviation conglomerate, has also joined the fray. The builder of airliners, helicopters and spacecraft revealed last year that it was working on an autonomous flying taxi for a single occupant or freight that is scheduled for flight tests before the end of this year.
And in March Airbus, in partnership with Italdesign, the design and engineering company owned by Volkswagen, launched Pop.Up – a concept for a modular transport system consisting of a pod for passengers that combines two transport options. For the road, it sits on top of a chassis with four wheels. For flying, a set of four shrouded rotors attaches to the roof.
"Right now the urban sky is quite under-utilised," says Mathias Thomsen, general manager of Airbus Urban Air Mobility.
Ignoring any similarities between the Pop.Up demountable flight module and the ill-fated Mizar's all-too-easily-detachable flying structure, the concept could, with the backing of Airbus, go places. One important limiting technology is batteries, but their capacity and energy density are improving, on average, by about 8 per cent a year, so Airbus's claim of a flying prototype in five to 10 years is plausible.
One important limiting technology is batteries, but their capacity and energy density are improving, on average, by about 8 per cent a year
Both Uber and Airbus could be left in the dust by a combination of Dubai and the Chinese drone maker, Ehang, however. The Gulf state, which has already said it wants a quarter of all passenger trips made in driverless vehicles by 2030, is aiming to have Ehang-made autonomous, pilotless flying machines taking fare-paying passengers around the city by July.

I have had this recipe in my head for months now and I have finally gotten around to trying it out! I did give it a go a good while back but the way in which I cooked the squash did not turn out so good and I really didn't like the end result. I had boiled the spiralized squash and then added it to the pan to sauté with the seasoning but it just didn't work and the squash tasted mushy and yawk! So I dumped it and left this one on the side line for a while.
So I picked up some squash last week as I was in the mood for squash soup (post coming soon) and thought I would give my squash spaghetti another go before I whizz it into a soulful bowlful of squashy goodness. I thought about my favourite way to eat squash usually and it was of course, roasted with some oil and garlic so I thought I would apply the same concept to my spaghetti. Let me tell you the result was simply gorgeous! I absolutely devoured the full bowl of squash spaghetti and had to go out and buy more for my soup! This is a really great way to substitute regular pasta and is so filling. As this is only the basic spaghetti recipe, you can vary the seasoning and other meal components to this once you have mastered the spaghetti part! I have visions of roast pepper pesto with chicken and sundried tomatoes tossed through the spaghetti or a rich mince Bolognese piled on top.
I strongly urge you to give this one a go if you've got the Spiralizer or any other kitchen appliance that does a similar job like a Julien. If you do try it and put your own spin on it, I'd love to hear what you teamed it with and how you got on. Leave any comments or suggestions you like below.
1 medium – large Butternut Squash
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
Additional Seasoning if desired
Preheat the oven to 190 Degrees Celcius.
Line an oven tray with parchment paper and grease with some oil.
Top and tail the butternut, cut in half from top to bottom, peel off the skin and de-seed.
Using your Spiralizer or Julien or whatever appliance you opt for, create your spaghetti.
In a bowl big enough to fit all the spaghetti, toss this through with the olive oil and seasoning.
Spread the squash spirals out on the oven tray and pop in the oven to roast for about 15 minutes or until the squash starts to brown.
Give the tray a shake to turn the squash half way through yto ensure even cooking.
Once the squash is cooked to your satisfaction, serve it as you would regular spaghetti.
If you want to add any more ingredients like a protein, more veg or a sauce, you can do so at this point.
Serve and enjoy.

text: Today alot of sports enthusiasts and body builders are promoting low carbohydrate and high protein diets in order to bulk up and participate in cross fit. Some body builders are encouraged to take in 200g of protein per day which can cause several heart and kidney problems as they are damaging to the cellular process and encourage ageing. A 60kg woman should take in 60g – 100g of protein based on her level of activity while a man should take in anywhere from 70g – 150g depending on their workout regime. Carbohydrates should be used as the main source of fuel and the water retention that comes with carbohydrate consumption is not necessarily a bad thing as it keeps all of the cells hydrated in the body and allows for maximal performance. One molecule of glycogen attracts 4 molecules of water and this then keeps the body fully hydrated. Sports nutrition should be centered around roughly 60% carbohydrate consumption, 20% protein and 20% fat.

Diwali is a festival celebrated to mark the returning of Lord Ram to his home town Ayodhya after he got banished. His step-mother Kaikai had wanted Ram's brother (Bharat) to become King of Ayodhya and therefore, she made a plan to send him to exile because she had two wishes. She ordered Ram to be banished to the forest for fourteen years and for Bharat to become King. Ram took his wife Sita and brother Laxman to the forest with him.
While they were in the forest, Sita got kidnapped by the evil demon Ravan. Ram constructed an army consisting of Hanuman – his loyal servant, Vibhishan – Ravan's brother and various other people. He ultimately formed the 'Ram Sena' – Ram's Army. Ram was victorious in defeating Ravan and he brought Sita back home. Upon their arrival, people lit divas (candles) so Ram, Sita and Laxman could see the path.
Now, Diwali is celebrated by lighting candles in houses. Candles are lit at doorsteps and also inside the house to welcome Ram. The festival of Diwali occurs over five days.
The festival of Diwali initiates on Dhan Teras. On this day, Goddess Laxmi is worshipped – who is a symbol for wealth. Following that, on Kali Chaudas, Shakti (meaning strength) is worshipped in the form of Kali – the goddess for strength. This is all done to abolish all evil in the world as the ultimate meaning of Diwali is Light over Darkness. After that, the day of Diwali comes; this is the main day where everyone goes to the Temple to pray. Families come together and celebrate. Fireworks are lit to signify the returning of Ram to Ayodhya. Also, Chopda Poojan (meaning prayer to books) occurs on Diwali where account books and business-related books are worshipped. Then, on New Year day, Ankoot (a feast) is served to God in the form of Prasad (Sacrament). Everyone takes the Prasadi and enjoys the rest of the day before Bhai Beej. On Bhai Beej, brothers go their sister's house to have a meal. The brother then returns the favour of the meal by giving a gift – usually monetary or materialistic.
Diwali is an important festival for many Hindu's as it's a time where families come together and celebrate the moral story that is the heart to Diwali; the victory of light over darkness. Eesha Matharu celebrates Diwali as it 'allows me to remember why our culture and tradition is so important"; ultimately, Diwali is about recognising the importance of our religion. She also described that Diwali has been celebrated by her family since she was younger but now "It's not all about the fireworks and lights as I know the meaning – this makes me appreciate it more.
Celebrations of Diwali happen all around the world – in India, it is celebrated very grandly and with great grandeur. After all, Diwali is a traditional festival with a traditional background complete with traditional celebrations.

Subjects: Illegal Maritime Arrivals; 501 visa cancellations; citizenship; federal politics.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton joins me on the line. Minister good morning and welcome to the programme again.
Morning Lawsy, good to be back.
Okay good to talk to you. What prompted this crackdown Peter?
Well I think we just got to the point John where we tried to work with these people as closely as we could. We put options to them to return back to Nauru or back to Manus where they've come from or indeed back to their country of origin. They refused that and we found that in the cases that we're dealing with – so 400 in total, we're just talking about the first 60 or 70 now – but 400 people in total who have come from Manus or Nauru for medical assistance; the condition of them coming here was that, okay the doctor said they needed to come here for medical assistance, but that you would return, agree to return back to Nauru or Manus when the medical support had been provided.
What happened was the lawyers worked with many of these people, they injuncted us in the courts, preventing us from returning these people back to Nauru or Manus and it's costing the taxpayers literally millions and millions of dollars a year and we just got to the point where it was unacceptable. I'm responsible for spending taxpayers' money and in good conscience I couldn't say that we were doing the right and that's why we've clamped down.
I believe there's about 70 men that your Department has placed on final departure bridging visas. Now what the hell does that mean?
Well it means that they don't any longer get Government assistance. So people will know pensioners for example get a supplement each week or each fortnight to help them toward their rent. So they need to pick up the balance of the rent that they pay if they're in a rental property and the assistance provided to these people includes accommodation – so that is the rent paid for in full – they're out in the community and we've said no that we don't think it's acceptable that people are getting that level of assistance.
So they go onto a bridging visa where they do have work rights, so they can work and we stopped the welfare payments that were going. We still provide support through Medicare and if they've got kids of school age then the ability to go to school. So we provide assistance in that regard and I think we're generous in that sense, but as I say we're not going to be taken for a ride and we're not going to allow taxpayers to be taken for a ride.
Don't forget that these people are part of the 50,000 people who came on the 800 boats when Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard were in control and we've not had a successful boat now in well over 1,000 days.
So we've been able to stop the drownings at sea, we've got all the kids out of detention, but what's been amazing in the last 24 hours to be honest is that Bill Shorten's come out to say that he disagrees with what we're doing. He thinks that they should be staying here and get the full government assistance and that somehow they're going to move something in Parliament next week with the Greens, which I think would stagger most Australians that Mr Shorten would take such a view.
I'm surprised I've got to say. I really am surprised. If they work and support themselves, are they allowed to stay then or will you deport them regardless?
No they're still obliged to go John. So we've been very clear in saying that if you've sought to come by boat you won't settle here in our country.
We have a very compassionate refugee intake each year, but we do it the right way – that is we bring people on planes after we've done the security checks, the health checks, we can verify their stories and their identities and people turning up on boats, having disposed of their identity cards or refusing to say in some cases why they're owed protection, those days are gone.
The difficulty is that whilst this issue's out of people's minds, because the boats aren't turning up each day, the reality is that the people smugglers are still there in Indonesia and Sri Lanka and Vietnam and they would get back into business tomorrow if they were given the opportunity.
So that's why I think it's alarming to hear Mr Shorten's comments because that really gives a green light to people smugglers to say, 'ah ha, we found a way through this ring of steel, you can go to Australia for medical assistance and then you'll stay there.' It's a bad message and that's why the Government's been very clear in saying that once they've been given the medical assistance then they are required to go back.
It's worth pointing out too John that in many of the cases of the 400, it wasn't actually that person that required medical assistance; they've come here as support for a family member, they haven't been ill themselves and even in those cases the lawyers have taken action in the High Court to prevent us from sending those people back. So I just think we've already…the 50,000 and 800 boats has already cost this country $14 billion and it's still costing us almost $2 billion a year to clean up this mess and I want it to come to an end as quickly as possible.
They are really literally rorting the system, aren't they? If they send a friend along as a supposed carer and then the carer stays as well, I mean it's a rort, an out and out rort.
It is and we've brought it to an end and sadly, the reality is, that some people were harming themselves in an effort to get to Australia and that's been the reality. When I stopped the carers from coming or only provided one support member per patient to come, then really we've seen a massive reduction in the number of self-harms as well and medical incidents and that stream of people coming has really dried up.
But in the interim there are 400 people who are here at the moment and these single males, many of them from Iran for example – a country that says if these people don't want to go back voluntarily they won't take them back, so they won't issue travel documents – and this is the legacy that we're dealing with.
If the boats started again tomorrow, well detention centres would reopen, the chaotic scenes you would see at sea – it seems to me that Bill Shorten hasn't learnt any lesson at all from Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard's mistakes and it would be a disaster for this country if the boats recommenced because as we know 1,200 people drowned at sea and 8,000 children were put into detention.
It was a real mess the boat thing. I mean how could anybody allow that to happen again?
Well particularly when you've got the advice and it's very clear to me John the advice and the intelligence that you receive that these people smugglers haven't gone away. They're organised criminals, they're trading in drugs and gun parts and prostitutes and the rest of it. They're unsavoury characters obviously and the people smuggling – that is just putting people on boats – is just another business line for them and so they go dormant in this area when the government clamps down and they ramp up in the other area of their business.
So if they think that there's a new Australian Government and that the prime minister, if it was to be Bill Shorten, after the election was going weak, well, I can tell you they'd have thousands of people lined up at docks ready to go – and had the 31 boats got through that we've turned back over the last three years, it's very clear to me on all of the advice that there would have been thousands of people who followed and again that tragedy would still be playing out – as we're seeing in the Mediterranean, this problem's not going away.
Yeah, terrible there, terrible there. I mean they're drowning in the Mediterranean – they're getting onto boats that don't float.
And that was the experience here. I mean people were drowning. As we say, 1,200 that we knew of drowned on Labor's watch and why they would want to return to those days…
They're talking about a stunt in Parliament next week with the Greens; the Labor Party joining up with the Greens to try and move some motion to stop us from taking this free housing away and stopping the welfare support to these people, which as I say is just quite unbelievable, but no doubt Mr Shorten can explain their logic to it, but it is a worrying step because Labor had tried to make us believe up until now that their policy was the same as the Liberal Party and clearly it's not.
What is the status of our deal with America in regards to resettling refugees from Nauru and Manus?
Well the deal is around 1,200 people or so John. So the US has agreed to take people. They've been screening and their programme year – that is their new year if you like of taking people into their refugee programme – starts on 1 October. So we hope to have people moved as quickly as possible because again I mean this Government didn't put people on Manus or Nauru, but our job is to clean the mess up and get them off.
So when you have people like the Iranians who won't go back, refuse to go back and their government refuses to allow them back, then you need to try and find third country settlements. Malcolm Turnbull made this arrangement with President Obama and President Trump is honouring it and we're very appreciative of that. So we will have those people moving and as quickly as possible, but most likely not until October at the earliest.
Peter what's your take on this dual citizenship garbage?
I just think John when you've got people who can't afford to turn on their heaters or air conditioners this summer that people are worrying – why are we concerned with these issues when there are more important issues to deal with like that? So it's a technicality.
Barnaby Joyce was born here in Australia, he is loyal to our country, the thought that he would be some spy or double agent if that was the import I mean he hasn't been a very good one if that's been his role.
So I just think hopefully the court deals with it as quickly as possible and it allows us to get back to business because there's a lot of good that the Government's doing. Yes, we're frustrated by the Senate and Labor's playing games there with the Greens, but there's a lot that we're getting through and the success that we've had on national security, I mean those guys almost got onto that plane a few weeks ago with a bomb so…
…yes almost.
So, very, very close. So all of that good work that we're doing behind the scenes is overshadowed by the theatre of the Senate and the citizenship issues. So I think we just need to move on from that.
As the Prime Minister demonstrates, I mean today he's doing more and this week he's doing more with energy companies and trying to reduce the power prices and you get crazy situations like in Victoria where state governments are adopting these policies that are going to drive up the prices of electricity, so we're trying to counter that as well. So it's a distraction from that, but hopefully it's dealt with quickly and we can all get back to the main business.
Yep well it'd be good if we could Peter. Thank you very much for your time yet again. I've enjoyed talking to you and I'm sure we'll get to talk again.
Likewise Lawsy. Thanks mate, take care.

Research conducted by the U.S. Travel Insurance Association reveals the fact that only 30 percent of Americans buy travel insurance before going on a trip. Purchasing travel insurance is the best way to avoid hospital fees, as it offers protection against medical emergencies, medical negligence, emergency evacuation and others. While many travelers are aware of trip cancellation insurance, 50 percent are not aware of medical evacuation insurance.How to Avoid Hospital Fees while Traveling picture
Medical Emergencies
If you or one of your traveling companions requires hospitalization or testing during a holiday in Peru, you can end up with an enormous bill that you will be paying for many years to come without proper insurance. Before you purchase a policy, make sure you are not covered by an existing plan. If you are going overseas you will need international travel insurance. A primary cover will pay for overnight stays and transportation to the nearest hospital. In case of a medical emergency, the hospital can work directly with your insurer on billing.
Medical negligence
Medical negligence can arise if an overseas medical practitioner makes a mistake. Malpractice suits cost lots of time and money to pursue, and hospitals have experts, lawyers and doctors who seek to prove there was no malpractice. Moreover, some legal systems exclude claims for negligence. The best chance of success is when the negligence is obvious and you find a good local lawyer. Even if medical negligence is proved, recovery can be expensive and without medical travel insurance you will have to pay the expenses yourself. You can find more information on this matter if you visit a medical negligence website. You will see that it is best to avoid such lawsuits which is why your travel insurance should be comprehensive and cover all possible problems.
Underlying medical conditions
If you suffer from a pre-existing medical condition, you can choose an insurance provider that allows storage of medical history so it can be accessed from any location. It is also important to carry a letter from your doctor that includes all the medication you are taking. Those who suffer from a heart condition should bring a copy of the most recent ECG.
Supplemental medical evacuation insurance
A good travel insurance policy includes coverage from emergency medical evacuation from a resource-poor area to a hospital and from overseas to your country of residence. Domestic insurance policies usually do not include this option, so at least purchase it as a short-term supplemental insurance. Make sure the insurance company has possibilities to help you, especially if you are traveling to a remote location. Before you purchase coverage, look for the company's arrangements with hospitals in that area, emergency medical transport to facilities via road, air and sea and assistance via a 24-hour physician-backed support center.

Basketball was a blast, where campers got a chance to improve their jump shot. Tuesday baseball was an all-around success; everyone got to show off their powerful swings. At gardening we got a chance to see just what grows in that garden. During Pop Fit Kids, all the campers participated in relay races, and got to show off how fast they could run. Wednesday was Storybook character day and all the campers came dressed up as their favorite character. They also partook in theme games and were certainly entertained by this week's entertainer. Thursday, campers got a chance to enjoy their favorite activity during Hobby Hour. Campers' soccer skills were on full display when they enjoyed a game of campers vs. counselors! As always the days ended with free and instructional swim, where campers were happy and playful! We very much look forward to the many camp days still yet to come.

Lands so Ancient
All of the sights, sounds and flavours of India cast a spell on me that eventually lured me to her shores. And I was not disappointed, it was everything I thought it would be, and so much more. The size of the ountry, the antiquity of the culture, the magnificence of the architecture, the diversity of
the landscape, the exuberance of the festivals, the piety of the people: Everything about India must be described with superlatives, including the experience of travel.
Every traveller will have their own reasons for visiting India. Some seek adventure, others culture and history. Foodies go to taste the culinary riches, luxury lovers enjoy some of the world's finest hotels and shoppers find a paradise. I was enticed by all of these attractions and more: I went to explore the spiritual dimensions and perhaps, above all, to experience myself in India.
For the spiritually oriented, India is the ultimate destination. Seekers have been drawn to India since time immemorial to pray, meditate, learn and celebrate life. In centres such as Rishikesh and Varanasi, travellers and pilgrims congregate to seek guidance, redemption, enlightenment. Meditating by the Ganges River in uplifting Rishikesh and taking a sunrise boat cruise along the same river in mysteryshrouded Varanasi were some of the most precious moments.
For the pure experience of travel, there is no better place to simply BE than India. Just to wander the narrow lanes of ancient bazaars, breathe in air filled with spices and marvel at the dazzling displays of merchandise. To imbibe the heady atmosphere of evening aartis on the mighty Ganges River and the sight of the sun rising over the Himalayas. To take time to soak up the ambiance and notice the lights and the colours. The world flows around you in a swirl of exuberance and there is nothing to do but flow with it, and enjoy the pusle of life, the eternal cycles, the cosmic rhythms underlying daily life in India.
"India always changes people, and I am no exception," author and screenwriter Ruth Prawer-Jhabvala wrote. And maybe, in the end, that is what fascinates people the most about India: India's power to transform.
There is nowhere like India, and few travel destinations as life changing. It's the phrase you hear again and again from those adventurous spirits who make the journey, and who open themselves up to the magic and mystery of the subcontinetnt and allow themselves to be changed.
In the end, this is the secret to travel in India. If you let India ebb and flow around you, without judgement or preconceived ideas; if you open your eyes and your heart; and if you allow yourself to fully feel and experience the journey … you may find yourself forever changed. And, like me, wanting to return again and again

Thanks to the dual time zones, the white gold cases copy Rolex Sky-Dweller watches enable us to distinguish daytime hours from night-time hours in the distant time zone, which are really practical during travels.
For the utility Rolex Sky-Dweller replica watches, the 42 mm case made of 18K white gold is noble and robust, matched with a luxurious black leather strap that is easily operated. The ivory dial is also easily to be read, with large Roman hour numerals, an instantaneous annual calendar at 3 o'clock, a 24-hour display on off-centre disc, and 12 month apertures around the dial.
Driven by the self-winding mechanical movement regarded as one of the most complex calibres created by Rolex, the fake Rolex watches with black leather straps are precise and multifunctional, which could't be better friends if you travel around the world.

Mark Broadfield, of Finsbury Grove, Birmingham was looking to get fitter and more connected with people in his local area. He found that the portal offered a route in and said: "I had wanted to get more active and meet new people for a while and so I went to the library to browse the internet and to see if I could find anything going on near me. I came across the Route2Wellbeing Birmingham portal and it was really useful!

In 2017 The Central Sierra Historical Society and Museum received a $25,000.00 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to host a series workshops educating attendees about the history of fire in Sierra. A committee including foresters, a wildlife biologist, museum director, and firefighter was formed and they met regularly to plan and execute the workshops.
Each workshop was tailored to the audience, the first workshop for the local Shaver Lake community, the second for those working in natural resources, and the third for legislators and policy makers in 2018. We received such positive feedback and requests for similar workshops in other parts of California in 2019, with permission from IMLS, we were able to take our presentation on the road and hosted community workshops in Mariposa and Squaw Valley, and a briefing at the California State Capital.
It is our hope that by viewing this presentation and attached research used to make the presentations that other organizations will feel compelled to host similar workshops in their museums and libraries on subjects they feel can better meet the needs of their communities. CSHS plans to host another series of workshops, this time focused on the history of water in the Sierra in 2020.

Health1 for all, by all so that everyone in the Eastern Mediterranean Region can enjoy a better quality of life.
To collectively strive and accelerate progress towards the health and well-being of the people of the Eastern Mediterranean Region by leveraging all opportunities and mobilizing all regional assets in line with WHO's global mission outlined in GPW 13: promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable.
The Eastern Mediterranean Region is a dynamic and diverse world region with challenging social, economic and demographic conditions. This vision supports countries' ongoing efforts to move towards health for all by all and builds on the Regional Roadmap 2017–2021, which was presented to the 64th session of the Regional Committee for the Eastern Mediterranean in 2017. It is anchored in and contributes towards implementation of the following:
WHO's Thirteenth General Programme of Work, 2019–2023 (GPW 13)
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs)
The Agenda for Humanity2
United Nations reform.
The Eastern Mediterranean Region is rich in cultural assets and opportunities that can contribute to achieving better health. We are endowed with community-centered values of sharing and solidarity, large numbers of confident and aspirational young people, renowned intellectual heritage and a strong societal fabric that promotes platforms and partnerships able to give a voice to the voiceless.
Countries of the Region vary greatly in terms of income, from among the world's highest to the lowest. While some enjoy cutting-edge technology, others lack access to water, sanitation and electricity. Some countries still struggle to control infectious diseases while others face a greater threat from chronic noncommunicable diseases. Poverty, conflict, unhealthy lifestyles and environmental degradation have undermined efforts to reduce and prevent disease, disability and death.
Crises are a defining feature of the Region, directly or indirectly affecting nearly two-thirds of its countries. Aggravated by brain drain, these crises have unprecedented, grave consequences for social and economic life and health: severely disrupted health systems, retrograde health indicators, fragile or shattered institutions and the re-emergence of high-threat pathogens. In some countries, emergencies have reversed the hard-won health gains of previous decades. Vulnerable groups such as women, children, people with disabilities, displaced populations, refugees, migrants, nomadic groups and inhabitants of rural and urban slum areas are particularly exposed to the effects of emergencies. The high level of insecurity also further complicates efforts to eradicate poliomyelitis in the Region, which includes the only two countries in the world still reporting wild poliovirus.
Together with its Member States and health partners, WHO should ensure that it continues to be a trusted authority in public health and is fully equipped to support countries to tackle these challenges. This can be achieved by focusing efforts on four cross-cutting regional strategic priorities and transforming the way we address these challenges while remaining true to WHO's principles of the right to health and the responsibility of governments for the health of their peoples.3
Regional strategic priorities
1. Expanding universal health coverage
by building equitable, resilient health systems based on primary health care, a people-centered approach and quality and safe services; and focusing on implementing the recommendations of the Salalah Declaration on Universal Health Coverage of 2018; ensuring that at least 100 million more people benefit from universal health coverage by 2023.
2. Addressing health emergencies
through forecasting, comprehensive preparedness, prompt response and well-planned recovery guided by the humanitarian, development and peace nexus; and focusing on ensuring access to health services during emergencies, initiating early recovery and promoting the transition to health and fostering peace.
3. Promoting healthier populations
by advocating for Health in All Policies, multisectoral action, community engagement and strategic partnerships with focus on addressing the social and economic determinants of health across the life course, addressing risk factors for health including NCDs and injuries, and leaving no one behind.
4. Making transformative changes in WHO
by reforming the Organization's business models, systems and culture in the Region to ensure that it is fit for business, accountable and a dynamic catalyst in health; by focusing on creating an enabling working environment; strengthening and streamlining strategic communications as a core function; increasing the availability and sustainability of financial resources for WHO-supported health programmes in the Region; optimizing use of those resources; and strengthening WHO's country presence.
Driving public health impact in countries
Six approaches will be used to enhance WHO's impact at country level:
1. Building public health capacity including multisectoral needs assessment, priority setting, generating intelligence, planning and evidence-based policy development that is responsive to local needs to ensure equitable and resilient health systems.
2. Enhancing preparedness by expanding capacities for effective and timely response to, and recovery from, the variety of current and potential emergencies and post-conflict situations affecting the Region, and mitigating risk by building resilience into health systems.
3. Strengthening partnerships with professional organizations, civil society and local communities to protect people's health, build strategic alliances, and ensure effective engagement for health among individuals, experts, champions, organizations, academia, the private sector, civil society and regional foundations.
4. Effectively advocating for health, working on and building regional expertise for Health in All Policies, equity and gender mainstreaming and community-based actions to address health determinants and strengthening regional experience in community-based actions to meet the SDGs and ensure a people-centered approach to public health actions, including in times of emergencies.
5. Mobilizing resources employing innovative approaches. Resources for health are not just financial; they include human resources, knowledge, information, science and technology.
6. Fostering innovation by investing in technological advances that are appropriate for national needs and that support the achievement of the regional priorities, and supporting the generation, translation and dissemination of knowledge and its systematic use in policy-making.
Key initiatives for 2019
In pursuing this vision, WHO will focus on transformative actions that complement and extend ongoing work to implement the Regional Roadmap 2017–2021. Work will be informed by a detailed document covering each regional strategic priority; plans were developed through consultation and are currently being finalized. Key initiatives in the next 12 months will include:
1. Forming an Alliance for Health for All by All with key partners and stakeholders in the Region
2. Establishing a leadership and health diplomacy development programme
3. Addressing the Sustainable Development Goals by revitalizing the community-based initiatives programme including healthy cities, healthy villages, healthy markets and health- promoting schools
4. Launching regional essential health service and intersectoral packages to support the achievement of universal health coverage
5. Promoting the Patient Safety Friendly Hospital Initiative in the Region
6. Launching a health innovation programme and advancing the use of information technology by introducing the latest tools and innovations
7. Scaling up contributions by the WHO Collaborating Centres in the Region
8. Accelerating functional reviews to strengthen WHO's country offices and the Centre for Environmental Health Action (CEHA)
9. Expanding rosters of human, institutional and financial resources in the Region, including experts, partners, research and academic institutions and donor agencies
10. Building capacity among future public health experts by promoting and streamlining the WHO internship and junior professional officer programmes.
The way forward
This vision was developed through an extensive consultation process including a five-day regional workshop held at WHO's Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean in Cairo, Egypt, 16–20 September 2018. In the coming months, the following supporting documents will be finalized:
1. Health in the Eastern Mediterranean Region: time for transformation
2. Short-term (2018–2019) and medium-term (2020–2023) action plans identifying transformative actions to operationalize this vision, building on the Regional Roadmap 2017–2021
3. Four strategic documents, one for each regional strategic priority, discussed and developed during the September workshop.
1 "Health" is the state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, based on the definitions and principles set out in the Alma-Ata Declaration of 1978 including attention to the social determinants of health.
2 https://www.agendaforhumanity.org. The Agenda for Humanity originated the increasingly influential concept of the humanitarian, development and peace nexus.
3 As set out in the WHO Constitution: www.who.int/about/mission.

HI All,
My current API assignment requires to expose the backend which are around 100 microservices through API gateway.
I have come with around a list of 20 API proxies which includes experience APIs as well to expose the backend through gateway.
During one of my review, a comment was raised that I also need to on-board all the microservices on gateway (create pass-through wrapper proxies which will not be exposed to outside world). And my client facing APIs will call these wrapper proxies to interact with microservices rather than directly calling them.
I am not aware of this pattern and do not see any potential benefits. Though I was also told that many customers are using this pattern.
Any comments/ thoughts and reasoning behind this approach?
Answer by Virgo · Sep 18, 2017 at 06:47 AM
If I understood it correctly then you are after creating wrapper APIs to call actual core MS. If you have wrapper interface to call core APIs then one of the benefit I can see
Portable Micro Service interface: You can easily migrate from one API Gateway to other which increase portability. All API Gateway specific logic can be built into proxies or in these wrapper APIs.
I hope general benefits of creating wrapper interface is already known to you. Above is just in context with API Gateway & Micro services.
Note: Make sure that internal call to another wrapper proxy doesn't count as new hop & cost you. There is a way in latest version to mark it local proxy call.

Meeting face-to-face
Lately, however, I have been persuaded that I should be on Facebook. Because I had no idea how to accomplish that, visiting friends took all of my basic information and picture home to Atlanta and got me signed up. I actually found the page all by myself. I even nabbed a few friends.
And then Facebook, bless its heart, changed their profile pages and I had to mentally scrap what little I knew and try to figure out how to get where I was going all over again. Keep in mind that I am doing this on a computer that's not only a dinosaur, but relies on dial-up. Facebook is tortoise-slow under these conditions. I am an impatient person. It's not a good mix.
However, to all of you who happen to be on Facebook, I am happy to have friends. I know how to confirm you. I've even figured out how to make a comment or two on the posts. I am, sadly, lacking in the patience to actually wait for the messages to appear, so if you want a quick response from me to something specific, I still suggest you use my email, email@example.com. I've mastered that. I can even do it in a heartbeat on my iPhone.
It is my fervent hope to use Facebook to keep you up-to-date on what I'm doing, where I'm going to be whenever I'm on tour, that kind of thing.
Until I've figured it out, though, know that I will be in Columbus, Ohio from April 28 through May 2 for the annual Romantic Times convention. I'll even be hosting a tea to celebrate the release of Sweet Tea at Sunrise, the second book of the new Sweet Magnolia trilogy coming out in April, May and June. So, if you're going to RT, check out the tea on Saturday afternoon and request a ticket. They'll be limited, so do it soon.
If you live in Columbus, but don't plan to attend the conference, keep an eye out for any booksignings I might do in town. After all, I went to college at Ohio State and worked in Columbus for several years. It's a town I love, so I'm very anxious to get back there and hopefully cross paths with some old friends and meet some new ones...this time face-to-face.
In the meantime, if you are on Facebook, check out my page and say hello. One way or another, I'll try to welcome you.

I feel just terrible. I miss her so much. We will never be together again. But i know i love her.
Youll be okay , it sucks , just know we all have been here .
Try to watch you-tube videos for various motivational speakers on coping
Do you miss her breaking up and telling you she didn't love you weekly?
What exactly do you miss about this mess of a woman?

People are more complicated than that. It's okay to miss people even if they treated you poorly. Make sure it's temporary, though. Don't get lost in remembering only the good parts. Keep yourself distracted and don't forget the reasons the relationship fell through.Originally Posted by Hollyj
Focus on your own family dynamics and health. She is going through too much right now.

I know her life was a mess... i know that sometimes she couldnt handle her life... but look whats happening to her... how could i call her crazy?? Anyone would lose their mind in a situation like this...Originally Posted by Hollyj
Im unable to be angry with her right now... right now i can only recall the good moments. I wish i could at least be her friendOriginally Posted by Lauralatifa
I suggest you look at her history. She posts daily about this woman, and the relationship was terrible from the very start.Originally Posted by LikeWater
OP, you may want to consider journaling.
Do you usually chose relationships that are filled with so much drama and toxicity? Is this a pattern?Originally Posted by Lauralatifa
She did not treat you like a friend in the relationship, what makes you think she is capable of doing that now? She also blocked you.
Most importantly, you cannot be friends with someone if there are feelings! She sounds like a train wreck, anyway.
OP, this is more about you, and who YOU choose to involve yourself with.

There are 4 of us going to Playa Largo in FL at the end of the month. We have 2 rooms (on points, but upgraded with a lot of $). One member is Lifetime Platinum Premiere. I achieved Lifetime Gold prior to the August cutoff, but have never been able to get my account updated to Lifetime Platinum (after several communications with Marriott). Now it looks like I won't get it updated for a coupe of more months.
LPP member got an e-mail saying he'd get 2 complimentary breakfasts each day. But if he has 2 rooms, does that mean he gets 4 each day? Should I argue more with Marriott so that I would also get 2 each day, in case he only gets 2? This is an almost $300 question (each breakfast is around $20 per person per day).

More online companies are getting into brick-n-mortar. This is a natural evolution of business. The "old" mantra that physical stores are dead is false. The saying was, everyone was going to shop online and NO ONE will be shopping in stores any more. It's true, online buying has continually increased at a rapid pace. That was to be expected since it started from zero. What the techies overlooked was the fact that humans still did the buying. What this means is real-life experience is still a part of what, and why, we buy. It's the feeling of a sweater. It's the physical exploration of a new gadget. It is also human to want to talk and interact with other people.
There are starting to be many examples of digital-only companies setting up shop in the physical world.
• Google – The latest entry is Google and their Winter Wonderlabs. These are stores where people can go in, experience unique activities, learn about Android and play with Chrome and other products. As stated Google stated, "The Winter Wonderlab is a fun and interactive way to experience all of Google's new gadgets in one place." They are taking a page out of the Apple Store playbook by opening in select cities (New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, Paramus and Sacramento).
• Amazon – Amazon is planning to open a test store in their home town of Seattle, WA. to sell a variety of products and gadgets. They recently bought Quidsi, an online retailer. They opened their first retail store in Manhasset, New York to sell expensive cosmetics and perfumes under the BeautyBar name. Grocery giants are keeping a suspicious eye on Amazon as well with their introduction of AmazonFresh, a grocery delivery service.
• Etsy, eBay, Piperlime and Bonobos – Each of these online brands are testing out brick-n-mortar stores they call, "small showrooms" (ironic, isn't it?)
There are two main factors driving this trend:
• Touching is believing – The initial belief behind online retail was that consumers dreaded taking time out of their day to visit a physical store, the benefits of being able to touch, feel, and experience products has been shown to be an incomparable driving force for decision making. This is the being "human" element many techies tend to overlook.
• No one's home – Many people aren't home during the day to wait for packages to arrive. We've all been there – we've missed the delivery of a purchase…for the third time. Then we've needed to fetch it from a far-off warehouse that kept inconvenient hours. Improving the flexibility customers have in receiving their packages makes a lot of sense.
The lesson is we are still people who live in a physical world. Technology is best used to take out the "grunge" in life, but not to replace experiences, exploration and human interaction. There is no silver bullet, even online. A great brand understands they must meet people where they are and still be human. We are not droids.
