Badisa Wynberg

These services include supporting children and their families in unsafe circumstances with safer options. Badisa Wynberg is also a designated child protection organisation and work closely with other role-players and professionals involved in children's lives to make decisions in their best interest.
In 2000 ChildLine indicated that they received 600 000 calls from children in need. 15 Years ago more than half a million children had no responsible adult in their life they could trust with their fearful circumstances and had to phone a number and speak to an unknown person relying on help.
"Save the Children" mentioned that during 2011/2012:
- 50,688 children were victims of violence
- 793 children were murdered
- 12,645 were assaulted
- 25,862 were sexually abused
In 2014-2015 Badisa Wynberg assisted 1343 children in need of care and protection of which 410 were exposed to severe abused and neglect. BADISA has 6 six registered social workers and 2 social auxiliary workers to render child protection services.
The organization depends on state funding and fundraising to keep their doors open for children in need of care and protection. As the problem of drug abuse in the Western Cape and especially the Cape Flats worsen the more hands and feet are needed to rescue children in dire circumstances.

Home from Home Trust

Our children grow up in their home communities and culture, where their home language is spoken. They have a foster family to support and care for them and we hope that one day they will either be reunited with their biological families, or failing that, that we have provided them with the necessary grounding to lead happy, successful lives.

For the past 26 years, Reach For A Dream has been fulfilling the dreams of children between the ages of 3 and 18 who have been diagnosed as having a life-threatening illness. We believe that no child should live without hope. Childhood is intended to be the most magical phase of human existence, filled with dreams, aspirations and most of all fun!
For children who have been diagnosed as having a life-threatening illness, the wonder of childhood is often lost in the emotional, physical and financial strain of dealing with theirillness. Reach For A Dream strives to alleviate part of this anxiety by creating a novel environment for the child, one that is focused on love laughter, excitement and entertainment.
Join Reach For A Dream and the world's most beautiful marathon and help make dreams come true for children who have been diagnosed with life threatening illnesses.

Running4Rare (Rare Diseases South Africa)
The Rare Disease Society was established in 2013 after it became apparent that there was a severe lack of support for patients with Rare Conditions. Whilst many of the conditions are exactly that – Rare – you may find only a single individual in a county living with a specific disease, making it incredibly difficult for them to find support and assistance – both emotionally and financially. The Rare Disease Society was established to create an umbrella organisation –offering support, assistance and advocacy for patients with all rare conditions. We are a registered NPO, and Public Benefit Organization (NPO 120-991) and aim to ensure that all rare disease patients receive access to treatment and supportive care for improved quality of life. There are as many as 7500 different, registered rare diseases – so whilst they may be individually rare, collectively they are common.
Running4Rare is the running fundraising division of Rare Diseases SA and we encourage runners and athletes to utilise their mobility for the benefit of those without it due to debilitating and degenerative conditions.
There are 20 entries available on a first come first serve basis.
Entries Information:
Cost: R1750.00 including OMTOM entry fee.
Running4Rare Charity Runners will receive:
- Post race hospitality (venue TBC)
- Shuttle Bus transport from a central location to the start and back after the race.
- Custom Running4Rare apparel and accessories
- A Goodie bag from Rare Diseases
- Invitation to the team dinner prior to the race

SNAP is a non-profit program, based in Durbanville, that offers one-on-one early intervention services to children with Autism. Autism is a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain, resulting in a developmental delay, ranging from very mild to severe. Some of the common characteristics of abnormal behaviour are difficulty with social interaction, communication, reasoning and sensory processing.
In South Africa 1 out of 110 children are affected and an increase of 500 % has taken place over the past 5 years. Not enough government schools exist to help these children and the journey of special needs education remains complex.
SNAP has been in existence for over 15 years and during this time have helped children from almost 36 countries in the world.
As non-profit program, we rely heavily on businesses to support us and have built up a loyal following of supporters through corporates and other businesses during the years.

Team SPCA
Want to make your race count for more? Join Team SPCA and help us in our fight against animal cruelty
Established in 1872, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA in Cape Town, is the founding society of the SPCA movement in South Africa and is the oldest animal welfare organisation in the country.
Over the past 143 years we have diligently carried out our mission to prevent cruelty to animals, through education, law enforcement, veterinary care services (operating an animal hospital, an inspectorate and four mobile clinics serving impoverished communities), and running a kennel, cattery, horse care unit, wildlife centre, farmyard and adoption centre, which every year places hundreds of animals in loving and caring homes.
Therefore whether you are a race veteran or first timer join us in our fight against animal cruelty by running for TEAM SPCA in the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon on 26 March 2016 and make a difference in the lives of animals.
Each TEAM SPCA runner agrees to raise a minimum of R2 000 in return for the following:
- Guaranteed half marathon entry
- Special 'thank you' bag;
- Limited edition TEAM SPCA running shirt
- We'll offer you lots of fundraising advice, support and tips on how to confidently ask for support and supply you with a standard appeal letter that you can use to encourage your colleagues, friends and family to support you.
- The personal satisfaction of making a difference in the lives of animals!
Whether your contribution pays for a packet of cat food, helps build a kennel or fights animal cruelty, you can be sure that it will help restore a rescued animal's trust in humans – so thank you! Your donation will not only directly benefit the animals in our area but – through a sharing agreement between all SPCAs nationwide – a portion will be used in other, less fortunate areas to benefit animals over a wider area.

Women's Property Network
The Women's Property Network (WPN) arose out of a need to recognise women in the commercial and industrial property industry. The WPN's vision is to actively promote the interests of women in the property industry of South Africa by creating a dynamic environment with effective leadership to enhance the development, empowerment and upliftment of its members, with a mission that states:
"WPN will dedicate itself to furthering the success of its members by effectively sourcing the best possible opportunities through transformation, leadership, mentorship, networking, analysis and dissemination of information."
The need has now risen for the organisation to expand its membership base and become more inclusive. Thus, seeking to attract all women from all levels actively involved in the commercial property industry.
In line with its strong corporate social initiatives, the organisation is looking to provide further education to women in the commercial property sector. In addition it seeks to actively support black women and aid all junior women to grow in the industry and further their career objectives. In order to achieve this, Women's Property Network Educational Trust ("Trust") IT 2007/2008 was established. To date the Trust has financially supported over 25 students with 13 currently in the program. The women that have successfully completed their studies have been employed in the industry and are working hard at advancing their careers. However, with the current challenging economic condition, it has become more difficult to secure funds for the Trust and hence the appeal to the general public to support the Trust be purchasing an entry into the 2016 Old Mutual Two Oceans Half Marathon.

CCE Intern Lindsey Chamberlain: I am very excited to be working with the Nutrient Management Spear Program this summer, because the work we do here involves crop plants (which I love to study) and helps provide information for dairy farmers throughout New York.
Nearly 380 middle and high school students from 42 New York counties streamed across campus June 28-30 to launch rockets, dissect mouse embryos, calibrate watershed models, program robots and learn what it takes to create a sustainable future.
The sixth annual Youth Development Research Update brought together Cornell Cooperative Extension educators and program leaders, youth service providers from community agencies and Cornell faculty members from across campus to explore ongoing research and the potential for collaboration.
With consumer interest in the production and availability of locally sourced meat at an all-time high, CCE's Harvest New York partnered with SUNY Cobleskill to provide a unique beef cutting and marketing seminar that drew attendees from seven counties across the state.
Cornell Cooperative Extension links the research and extension efforts at Cornell University, the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station and the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, providing the knowledge to maximize New York State's agricultural and natural resources.
Cornell Cooperative Extension's community and economic vitality programs build the capacity of New York State communities to engage in and direct their own futures. Associations partner with campus faculty and staff, local officials, not-for-profits, colleges, planners, policymakers, and community leaders.
Cornell Cooperative Extension's environment and natural resources programs are designed to help individuals and communities engage in long term plans to sustain the quality and diversity of the natural assets in New York State.
Partnering with the College of Human Ecology outreach centers, institutes and departments, Cornell Cooperative Extension nutrition programs connect research and practice, are highly collaborative, build on community strengths, and provide knowledge for policymakers.
Cornell Cooperative Extension programs are designed to improve the quality of life for all New York State residents. 4-H Youth Development programs align with the national 4-H mission mandates. Family programming addresses support and care at all stages in the life course.
Director of the New York State Extension Disaster Education Network
In 2013, the CCE Orleans Board of Directors set a goal of transforming the 40-year old Trolley Building kitchen into a modern, commercial grade teaching kitchen. Three years later...
On 4-H National Youth Science Day Oct. 5, young people nationwide will undertake an interactive engineering design challenge created by Cornell Cooperative Extension and the National 4-H Council.
In advance of the June 25th opening of the new Broome County Regional Farmers Market, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Broome County recently hosted a ribbon cutting at the new facility.
Kate Supron has begun a joint position at Engaged Cornell and Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) designed to increase opportunities for community-engaged research, learning, and service projects.

It's a real mixed bag of remixes for you this week. There's reggae vibes, a whiff of '80s house, cowbells and vocoders, and even a dash of Cheap Trick...
Preview here; download at the end
First up, Surfer Blood, who are releasing new single 'Floating Vibes' soon.
They've undergone the treatment of highly-hyped Brooklynites Twin Shadow, a new siging on Chris 'Grizzly Bear' Taylor's label Terrible Records. They managed to simultaneously channel the spirit of Sting and the Far East in one mix.
Next, LA's world collective Fool's Gold have remixed Philadelphia retro-rockers Free Energy's 'Bang Pop', adding sound effect squeals straight out of Rollercoaster Tycoon and turning the anthem a little dreamier. It's getting a split 7" release with Local Natives on White Iris Records.
London's industrial post punks Detachments meanwhile are releasing 'Holiday Romance' on September 6th, and this Cosmodelica mix takes the original for a trip round the Haçienda.
There's another exclusive from Twizzle in the pack too. The DJ Naughty Dubstrumental mix of 'LDN Sign' should leave you in no doubt about where he comes from, or about his potential to hit the big time sometime soon. Electro-glitch trio and prolific remixers The Slips sent in this version of Ellie Goulding's 'The Writer'. Their new EP '4 Elements To Make Good Music' is out on Lucky Egg records on Sept 6th.
Finally, Belfast's synth terrorists Not Squares see new single 'Release The Bees' (out this week on Pogo Records) remixed by The Fur and Fenech Soler's 'Lies' is reworked by Hervé.
Download this week's remixes here
Plus: grab a Tiga remix of The xx here for the price of a fake email address.
iheartcomix has an Aeroplane mix of Chromeo's 'Don't Turn The Lights On that V Festival's ravers would no doubt term 'tasty'.

- Bestiary APIs
These APIs return JSON strings. For more information, particularly about using this information in a gadget, see 278-279-312-64548325.
Beast Data
- This returns the details of this particular NPC from its ID as a JSON string. In this case, 49 is a Hellhound.

Searching Names
In order to get the details on a beast, you will need to know the ID of that specific beast. There are a number of ways you can obtain the ID of a beast. One method is to use the search API:
../../m=itemdb_rs/bestiary/beastSearch.json?term=sheep+cow ( searches all beast names for the terms "sheep" and "cow" )
Search results are returned in a json string.
- This returns the details of all NPCs that match the search terms as a JSON string.
- For example with search terms of
sheep+cowas above the string will be:
[{"value":42,"label":"Sheep"},{"value":43,"label":"Sheep"},{"value":81,"label":"Cow (4)"}, {"value":397,"label":"Cow (4)"},{"value":1763,"label":"Sheep"},{"value":3579,"label":"Sheep"}, {"value":5162,"label":"Sheep"},{"value":5163,"label":"Sheep"},{"value":1271,"label":"Golden sheep"}, {"value":1272,"label":"Golden sheep"},{"value":1691,"label":"Undead cow (4)"}, {"value":1998,"label":"Plague cow"},{"value":1999,"label":"Plague cow"}, {"value":2310,"label":"Cow calf (1)"},{"value":2311,"label":"Sheepdog"}, {"value":5172,"label":"Golden sheep"},{"value":5173,"label":"Golden sheep"}, {"value":5603,"label":"Unicow (57)"},{"value":18597,"label":"Zombie cow (1)"}, {"value":5986,"label":"Armoured cow thing (62)"},{"value":6048,"label":"Armoured cow thing (62)"}, {"value":1886,"label":"Cowardly Bandit"},{"value":5097,"label":"Coward in armour (82)"}, {"value":6049,"label":"Coward with bow (105)"}]
The "value" in each item group represents the beast's ID, and the "label" represents the name of the beast.
Beasts A to Z
You can obtain various lists of beasts and their ID using different API requests, such as the A to Z interface:
../../m=itemdb_rs/bestiary/bestiaryNames.json?letter=Y ( Searches for all beast names that start with the letter "Y" )
- This returns the details of all NPCs that begin with the letter stated as a JSON string.
- For example with the letter

[{"value":6041,"label":"Yadviga (28)"}, {"value":5529,"label":"Yak (42)"}, {"value":12337,"label":"Yaktwee Swinmari Cianta"}, {"value":515,"label":"Yanni Salika"}, {"value":2102,"label":"Yellow Fortune Director"}, {"value":2093,"label":"Yellow Fortune Secretary"}, {"value":19357,"label":"Yelps (84)"}, {"npcs":[{"value":19358,"label":"Yelps's bodyguard (112)"}, {"value":19359,"label":"Yelps's bodyguard (112)"}],"dupe":"Yelps's bodyguard"}, {"value":7379,"label":"Yeti (63)"}, {"value":11872,"label":"Yk'Lagor the Thunderous (98)"}, {"value":513,"label":"Yohnus"}, {"value":5803,"label":"Young 'un"}, {"value":15461,"label":"Young grotworm (28)"}, {"value":1301,"label":"Yrsa"}, {"value":2364,"label":"Ysgawyn"}, {"value":16898,"label":"Ysondria"}, {"value":2746,"label":"Yt-HurKot (108)"}, {"value":2741,"label":"Yt-MejKot (180)"}, {"value":4561,"label":"Yulf Squecks"}, {"value":6028,"label":"Yuri (28)"}]
The "value" in each item group represents the beast's ID, and the "label" represents the name of the beast.
Beasts by Area
You can obtain beast names and ID's for specific areas by using the Areas API interfaces. There are two interfaces required for this, one to obtain the list of area names, and one to obtain the list of beasts in that area.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Hero Tales may be of special interest to North American manga readers — it is drawn by Hiromu Arakawa (of Full Metal Alchemist fame) and written by Huang Jin Zhou (who is perhaps not an actual person but a "unit comprised of Hiromu Arakawa, Genco and Studio Flag" according to bakaupdates.com…whatever that means). However, the use of a Chinese name for the "author" makes sense since the story takes place in a fictionalized historical (Chinese) Empire.
A number of Japanese manga, such as Fushigi Yugi and Saiunkoku Monogatari, have previously made use of Chinese cultural history and legends. Hero Tales does so as well, but puts an intelligent shonen spin on its story. Unlike Fushigi Yugi, which uses a framing device of a modern girl falling into the past by accident, Hero Tales focuses upon the fulfillment of a legend in which seven heroes — who represent the seven stars of the Big Dipper — have the power to throw the Empire into complete chaos or to save it.
On first glance, the title's main character — Taitou — appears to be your average shonen hero who wants to become strong, but on closer inspection he is much more interesting than that. He seems unconcerned about the fact he has yet to complete his coming-of-age-ceremony, which is an event where a young man completes a fight with an older, skilled warrior. Taitou hasn't completed the ceremony because he is bad at fighting, but because he yet to come across a fighter skilled enough to make him accept defeat. This twisted logic just makes me like him more, I think. When a disciplined martial arts master comes to town — called for the express purpose of defeating Taitou — a series of complicated events are set in motion. Taitou's status as one of the heroes of legend is revealed but he isn't just any hero. He is one of the two heroes who are destined to fight each other and draw the world into a state of destruction.
After Taitou accepts his defeat like a "man," an ancient sword is bestowed upon him that can only be drawn by a true hero. Which means Taitou can't use it just yet…however, his untapped and alarmingly out-of-control powers are awakened when a warrior-for-hire steals his sacred sword and threatens his sister's life. With power rushing unchecked through his body, Taitou practically destroys himself with the force of his anger and his lack of control. With the sword is successfully stolen, and Taitou's identity as a "hero" of legend revealed, the manga heads quickly into the shonen quest narrative path. Taitou, the skilled warrior who defeated him, and Taitou's sister, Laila, set out to retrieve the sword and track down the other "heroes" of legend.
Unlike a lot of shonen titles, however, once the main story is set in motion, there's no sense of stagnation or of drawing out an epic quest for the sake of a quest. Instead, progress happens immediately, as the group comes across another "hero" (each of the seven heroes are marked by a special tattoo on their bodies) and more of the legend starts to unfold before the group's very eyes. Taitou is a likable shonen lead who is rather emphatic about his designs on power — not only as fighter but as a countryman. He likes to begin sentences with the phrase, "When I become Emperor…." While others like to laugh at his audacity, it is clear there are some very dangerous people who take him seriously as a rival, and one rather scary badass who actually sees Taitou as his fated rival.
Hero Tales is a rather excellent configuration of shonen tropes — it tends to take the best of them and excises many of the excesses (such as fights that last forever, the emo-ness of the hero). The art, of course, is quite excellent and while Arakawa offers many familiar character types (the main antagonist reminds me very strongly of Bradley from FMA), she excels in both her character work and in her fully realized representation of a powerful and potentially corrupt Empire.
Review copy provided by Yen Press.
Sounds interesting. I've enjoyed FMA quite a bit, so I'll try this in the hopes that it will have all the quality of Arakawa's earlier work with less of the wrist-slitting despair. Thanks for the review
Definitely less wrist-splitting despair! This isn't a big investment because right now there are only 4 volumes and I don't believe it will be quite as epic (i.e. long) as FMA.

Recommended prerequisites:
Basic courses in mathematics and physics Med-tech
General course objectives:
The interest for applications of coherent light and optical sensing in biology and medicine has been increasing the past years. This is partly due to the development of new laser systems, partly the development in optical systems and finally advances in precise and non-invasive diagnostics and analyses. The course is divided into three areas: 1) Light sources for medical diagnostics and treatment, 2) light-tissue interactions, and 3) Optical methods for bio-imaging.
Learning objectives:
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
Discuss basic optical principles like coherence, interference and diffraction, and determine imaging properties of simple rays in spherical lenses and mirrors.
Explain the principle of laser action and understand the mode of operation of the various components in different laser systems.
Discuss the physics behind nonlinear frequency conversion, and describe tuning properties of coherent light sources based on nonlinear frequency conversion.
Explain different light-tissue interactions, e.g.: Photochemical, thermal, photo induced plasma and photo ablation, and be able to relate these interactions to the characteristics of the light source.
Discuss the optical properties of tissue (scattering and absorption) and the wavelength dependencies of these processes.
Describe the principle of transport theory and knowledge of solutions, including diffusion theory.
Apply the principle of Monte Carlo simulations as a general solution and understand how this method can be used to solve transport theory of light propagation in scattering media.
Explain and discuss the functionality of a specific optically based diagnostic system, OCT, and two-photon microscopy
Describe spectroscopic techniques such as fluorescence, two-photon microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, and understand the basic operation and limitations of a spectrometer.
Orally present scientific papers within the areas of the course and discuss results.
The lectures will cover the biological and medical background for application of light for treatment and diagnosis, especially propagation of light in human tissue, interaction between light and tissue, possibilities for therapy with light and imaging methods. An important topic is the optical properties of the eye: Spectral properties, fluorescence of the various parts of the eye, optical diagnostics by scattered light within the eye, properties of the retina and possibilities for healing by optical treatment. Further, modern coherent light sources will be covered such as the optical properties of laser beams, different laser systems and their potential for bio-medical applications. Throughout the course examples and external visits will be used whenever possible.
Lecturers from DTU Fotonik, DTU Nutech, and a number of invited external lectures.
