Responding effectively to mental health needs amongst
refugees is now a major healthcare challenge in Uganda
Lord Nigel Crisp's report: "Global
health partnerships: the UK contribution to health in developing
countries," has led to several steps being taken by the
Health Education England in support of healthcare professionals
from the National Health Service (NHS) wishing to volunteer in
developing countries. A successful global health partnership
essentially works on the principle of co-development, that is
having a positive and sustainable impact for all partner countries.
Ensuring co-development through volunteerism is even more
The Uganda UK Health Alliance (UUKHA) was established to assist
with this co-development concept (http://www.uukha.org/). The
alliance helps to bring together all UK health initiatives
operating in Uganda, with the objective of ensuring alignment of
these initiatives with Uganda's own strategic health priorities.
Through UUKHA, several member organisations have identified that
refugee health care is a key national strategic priority in
In September 2017, we were involved in a scoping visit to
Northern Uganda which sought a better understanding of the current
Uganda government policy on refugee health care. A consortium
including the Uganda Red Cross Society, Everton Football club
(Everton in the Community) and Health Education England (through
its Global Health Exchange), aimed to explore advocacy for mental
health care and psychosocial support through sport for refugees in
Uganda is currently facing an influx of refugees and migrants on
an unprecedented scale (Currently>1.3 million people). Entire
families have fled their homes; escaping war, political
persecution, human rights violations from South Sudan and other
neighbouring countries. Upon reaching, Uganda, new refugees receive
health care from refugee support centres set up by both government
and non-governmental organisations such as the Uganda Red
As we travelled through northern Uganda on our way to the Imvepi
and later to the Bidi Bidi refugee settlement (a huge refugee camp
spanning 75km and takes 2 hours to drive from one end to another),
we observed that the landscape gradually changed from proper
housing structures to small tents made from white plastic and
emblazoned with the letters UNHCR.
During our time in the refugee settlement camps, we heard
many stories that were disturbing from a human rights
perspective;detainees having faced unlawful killing of their
relatives, torture, heavy and indiscriminate shelling of civilian
areas, enforced disappearances, the systematic denial, in some
areas, of food and water, destruction and looting of property. We
observed a concerted effort by the Ugandan government and
humanitarian organizations, such as Red Cross to alleviate the
physical suffering of the amassed refugees. This is of great
importance and very challenging as services are required to
meet the basic needs of both the local and refugee populations
with limited resources.
Whilst we observed efforts aimed at disease
prevention through improved nutrition and sanitation programmes
such as WASH, there was often little treatment or support provided
for the less visible, mental scars from the refugees' war journeys.
With the sheer number of refugees and migrants arriving in Uganda
each week, it is worrying that mental health care and psychosocial
support are frequently overlooked.
What is clear from our visit to refugee settlements in Northern
Uganda, is that the level of mental healthcare provided by the
host country is woefully short of the demand from the burgeoning
refugee population. However, it is very important to
acknowledge that these refugees are coming to a country where there
are very few mental health services and limited expenditure on
mental health support for the local population (Kigozi, Ssebunnya,
et al, 2010). Whilst access to mental health support may be
limited due to overstretched resources in Uganda, providing this
support for refugee population is a basic need that has to be
catered to.
We found that Red Cross volunteers are embedded within both the
local and refugee communities and are able to not only understand
the of taboos and cultural specificities within refugees
communities, but also skills in building trust to ensure that a
dialogue can be built with the local community so that the mental
health issues can be addressed effectively. Many of the
services made available by both government and non-governmental
organisations encounter barriers to engagement, and there are
significant challenges for health advocates trying to bridge the
gap between service provider and refugee community. We therefore
recommend that there is a collective humanitarian effort to provide
training for the health sector workers and volunteers to improve
their understanding of the health needs of refugees.

We hang around doing paperwork and emails
although Uganda has terrible internet access, or at least for me.
We go to a restaurant near the airport and spend a few hours
working. Erin and I go to a beach club. We are the only
non-Ugandans there so stick out like sore thumbs. But that's not
a problem as people in Uganda are laid back.
These are the last frantic days of the
workshop. We are trying to desperately catch up on any
lost time.
As expected, the first few days in the
previous week took a while to warm up. Now there is pressure to
finish the design document in time...or at least the main body and
budget. It's frantic during the day and frantic at night as we
get all design products trimmed and ready.
At the last day of workshop we have actually
got something that looks good and we can be proud of. It is a
Ugandan document. As outsiders we have been able to advise and
honour the donor requirements but not take over. There is a
photo opportunity and final prayers. Then my colleagues fly off
while I have another day to go before I catch my
I spent the morning watching chimpanzees. There was one chimp
looking a bit isolated and miserable. It looked at the leaflet
and saw that there was indeed a chimp who suffered from depression.
This day was taking me to a whole new world of mental health –chimp
mental health.
I write this on my last day in Uganda at
Entebee airport. I can't say I have endured any hardships here even
if power and internet is unreliably. Uganda is a beautiful country
and is secure. The people have been kind and gracious hosts.
They are committed to improving mental health. Nodding disease is
becoming a real concern and time will tell what happens with this
bizarre disease and its increasing cases in the North district.
This morning I walked down to the lapping
shores of Lake Victoria. This is an idyllic place. The weather is
warm and really perfect.
As I walk down the corridor in the hotel,
in front of me is a typical view. There are
about five small groups working mostly in French on domestic
violence, agriculture, Malawians with fisheries, Bangladeshi
soldiers. We have had a weekend of pentacostalists at the Hotel.
Its NGO land in this hotel...and Russia.
So this blog is not about "exciting" clinical
work or training but about being stuck in a classroom
effectively talking through paperwork and money. It doesn't sound
exciting. However I think that because we have participated in
such a tight design document the project has a great chance
of success and will really make a difference to Uganda. The
idea of the user groups being such a core part of the project was a
real surprise to me and seemed really interesting and
The other thing I learned about was
interpersonal therapy which I had never really understood before.
It has significant evidence base. A practitioner explained it to me
and all those I spoke to who use it in Uganda seem to love it.
Patients love it. It is used for depression primarily. In Uganda
mainly it is used as group work. It was a big take home message for
me in CBT UK.
It was a pleasure being part of this process
and I thank the Ugandan Ministry of Health, World Vision Australia,
WHO and all my professional colleagues for this experience - I
learnt a lot from them. Take home messages I got were the value of
careful planning of projects, user groups, interpersonal therapy
and the value of a strong mental health advocate in the
I'm both fascinated and confident
that this project will be a success.
Desk review - this was something new! It's
similar to preparing a review paper. You assemble information
related to health in Uganda at all levels
and then prepare a report based on this.
This was beyond tedious! I wondered whether
this would be helpful or not.
From discussions, I do now realise that this
is an important part of the process which fleshes out the
background for the task ahead and feeds into a formal report. It
helped me understand Uganda's health needs. It also helped me
participate in a workshop.
This is hard, dry work but useful.
Desk review continues each day as it is an
ever expanding task. I'm sent papers from all sides to incorporate
into the desk review. At the end I feel like I have something
that is reflective of the information I have...although some of the
data seemed out of date in 2012.
Wondering around Kampala: Mark from WHO Geneva
is a welcome addition to our group. Over the last few
years, I have been in contact with Mark about mhGAP and
different projects. It was nice to spend time with him in
person rather than email. I learned a lot from Mark about
international work and WHO. He's a master of technical knowledge as
well as very nice company.
On Sunday we travel to Entebbe. Entebbe is
either a very tiny place or I missed most of it. There are a few
roads and little traffic. Bizarrely the hotel seemed populated
by lots of Russians as well as the expected NGOs.
I expected mosquitoes and got none
- instead I had lake flies.On arrival at the hotel
I had so many lake flies in my hotel room -1000s if not millions
that I slept in the bathroom. It was literally a carpet of insects
by the morning. I have never seen anything like it.
We had a buffet at the hotel - this was a
place we began to hate!
This was the meat of the trip and a new type
of process for me. Designing the mhGAP project in Uganda may
have been long and sometimes exquisitely tedious, but by
the end I realised how this would ensure that the project would
This is a Ugandan project that World
Vision sponsors - WHO provides technical advice and the owners
are the Ugandan health services and ministry. So there was a
variety of stakeholders at the meeting including psychiatrists,
psychologists, ministry people, NGOs representing epilepsy and
psychosocial work. My role was a bit less clear in my mind. I was
there to share my modest experiences of mental health in
international primary care work.
There were new terms for me to learn and
understand: log frame, detailed implementation plan, monitoring and
evaluation as well as budgeting. The workshop day begins with
prayers and end with prayers.
Ugandans like to talk and there's lots of
participation. Chairing was a challenge and I did my share. There
was lots of enthusiasm and ideas. Log frame means the logical
framework. This was the core of the workshop which is
about the skeleton of the design. It consists of a table
featuring goal, outcome, output, indicators, and assumptions. This
took the bulk of the whole workshop and is the base for the
implementation. We ended up with a goal and several outcomes. The
workshop fleshed these out with input from all stakeholders.
Detailed implementation plan is a plan to role
out the outputs and outcomes with a time line. The budgeting
discussions were predictably difficult. As normally happens
the initial budget goes well over budget and then needs to be
painfully trimmed down.The end result was a design which was scaled
down, realistic, achievable but still valuable for patients with
mental, neurological and substance use problems in Uganda.
What was very interesting was the input on
user groups. This became an important part of the
discussions and became a structural part of the design. User
groups would be able to combat stigma, publicise and market
clinics. They would drive the momentum for the service to
continue. My own feeling was that epilepsy would be a key condition
that could generate its own market. The community will see the
benefit of treatment and insist on treatment continuing long into
the future. Something I had seen previously in Chad.
By day five I was so shattered that I
realised that doing direct clinical work or training –the
"exciting" stuff - is actually less exhausting.
This was a great day. Dr. Mugaga was our
wonderful host who took us sightseeing. We saw waterfalls
and were taken to schools with unbelievably well-behaved school
children. We also went to the source of the Nile in Jinga
District and had a boat trip. Dinner was with Word Vision in
Kampala then back to Entebbe.
I leave London Heathrow in Emirates new Airbus
A380. Those who know me will know exactly how delighted I was be to
go on this for the first day. And it didn't disappoint. This is the
only way to fly – even down the back.
Arrive in Entebbe airport and I'm carted off
to Kampala which is about an hour's journey. The hotel is huge and
incredibly dark.
Kampala seems like a nice town to me. Warm
weather. Gentle hills. I just can't see many people around. Unlike
other places I go to it is amazing to be able to go outside without
security briefing and a security guard. It is a really safe place
apart from petty crime - although there has been some East African
terrorism here in the past year.
Then I meet Erin from the partner and donor
organisation to the project - World Vision. World Vision is a
huge worldwide, non-governmental organisation. They are one of the
few who work in mental health. I hadn't realised how enormous they
are and even in Uganda they are a huge operation. They are children
focussed and Christian, but are
clear about never evangelising and are open to
beneficiaries of all backgrounds.Erin is in her twenties and leaves
me speechless with her mastery of the NGO world, policies and
ability to synthesise varied and complex concepts in a concise way
that even I can understand. They are a very impressive
A pleasant supper in the almost dark dining
room that evening.
I meet with the formidable and delightful Dr.
Sheila. She works in the Ministry of Health and is lead for
mental health in Uganda.
I had met Sheila once before in Italy at a
conference on mhGAP. Sheila is a Public Health Physician and
has a background in mental health work. She has a remarkable
drive and vision on mental health in Uganda. In Africa it is
so important to have key people with a commitment to mental health.
This whole project would have no beginning middle and end without
the backing of Sheila. I know that she can make the project
My job was to gather background information on mental
health and health systems in Uganda. It was a struggle to keep up
with Sheila's pace as she is so passionate on the subject and knows
it from the ground up.
In the end, I felt that I knew more about
the health service in Uganda than the health service in the
UK. There is a very well structured tiered layer of health clinics
running down from national and regional centres. The health
centres feed into a volunteer village level - the
Village Health Team. There are two national psychiatry centres
close to the capital Kampala.
Sheila, I believe, is actually the most
important part of the project as she has been with mhGAP from its
launch in WHO. She really drives the mental health agenda in
Uganda. Uganda is lucky to have such a dynamic force.
Today's task was interviewing health
workers on their services. Armed with my notebook and my WHO
copy of mhGAP manual, I headed to a rural area in the west of
Uganda. This was a three hour drive from Kampala along mud
roads past villages with no water or electricity. The poverty was
We met a health worker who was clearly
committed to her work but struggled to understand concepts of
mental illness. When I asked about schizophrenia she talked about
referring to an ear specialist for hearing problems. Yet when I
left the little corrugated roof building, I soon saw a homeless man
who was clearly psychotic and homeless.
The next practice was in a much better
building and supported by Irish Aid. Here there were two skilled
health workers. Yet here they said they didn't see any mental
illness. Just before I started to speak to them I saw a young
Ugandan lady with four children. She looked depressed and sad.
They told me she attended frequently with physical health problems.
They had never asked her about depression. However, when I talked
to them about it and showed them the manual I could see that them
make the connection. I know they will ask her about this next
time and maybe think a bit more about mental health. I hope in the
future all these areas will have access to mental health
information. In the meantime people are referred on for further
advice through the layers of health services.
At this stage I felt this was real volunteer
work - going to clinics, seeing front line workers and getting
my hands dirty.
I wasn't originally going to write a blog on this assignment as
I considered it would be an uninteresting read in terms of the
nature of the mission here.
However, after some rumination
and discussion with colleagues, I thought maybe it
would be good to show the more mundane part of international
development work. I love doing direct clinical care, training
and training of the trainer, but this was work was almost
entirely paper-based. Also I was stuck indoors in a
giant eight day meeting.
I have always said that if you are doing
international work right it is probably somewhat dull. I wouldn't
describe my experience in Uganda as dull even though it
may sound dull being stuck in workshop for eight days. It
was actually a fascinating experience and I learned a huge amount
of how to do this work right.
As Idi Amin is no longer President of Uganda, some of
the Asians he drove out are coming back. Uganda has been at peace
for about seven years now which is why many are incensed at
Joseph Kony,Lord Liberation Army, who gave the impression that
Uganda is still at war.
Tackling AIDSs has been an astounding success
but the rate is increasing again. People are highly aware of HIV
and prevention is though a multi-pronged campaign of education.
Uganda is known for its homophobia but is
probably not much different to many other countries in the
region. I know that there are those in UK who feel that we
should not support Uganda because of this. It is a tricky area. At
least in mental health we' re committed to designing
programmes which are non-judgemental, where
there's unconditional respect for all patients and carers.
One of the big challenges facing Uganda at the
moment is the increasing rates of the bizarre,chilling and
unexplained Nodding disease in the north of the country. In this
condition, children between 5 to 15, developa nodding
motion when faced with food and stop eating. They eventually die.
In Uganda it falls under mental health. It appears that the disease
has been spread by hysteria but there are more conventional
medical cases. It is also found in South Sudan and a few other
countries and is currently the subject of an
international health investigation. Our health ministry colleagues
were very preoccupied with Nodding disease and it'll be a big
challenge to a poor country.
In February 2012, WHO contact me (out of blue)
to ask if I would be interested in doing some work in Uganda based
on the mhGAP. After about 2 seconds I said yes. I am passionate
about the mhGAP approach, especially incorporating mental health
into primary care.
In case anyone still hasn't heard me talk
about this - this is the WHO approach of addressing the inequality
of mental health provision in low and middle income countries. It
means that mental health is brought to primary care level and
health workers are trained to identify and treat basic mental
health problems. They refer on any that are in any way complex. It
is a double system of primary care mental health clinics with
secondary referral systems for complex cases. There is a manual
that is a guide to management. Coupled with this are training
materials and supervision systems. It is a way of scaling up mental
health in places that wouldn't have access to any service
otherwise. Conditions covered are the MNS conditions –
mental, neurological and substance abuse. So the anomaly, for a
western psychiatrist, is that epilepsy is part of the mental
health system.
This can work as long as there is a political,
training, supervision drive and a robust secondary referral
mechanism. So with all this in the background I was proud to be
asked by WHO to be part of the design planning of a programme to
scale up mhGAP in parts of Uganda.

Ever since a 17-year-old Nasir Bin Olu Dara Jones appeared on Main Source's 1991 classic "Live at the Barbeque," hip-hop would be irrevocably changed. Nas. Gifted poet. Confessor. Agitator. Metaphor master. Street's disciple. Political firebrand. Tongue-twisting genius. With music in his blood courtesy of famed blues musician father Olu Dara, the self-taught trumpeter attracted crowds with his playing at age 4, wrote his first verse at age 7 and, with 1994's Illmatic, created one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time before he could legally drink. Two decades on, Nas remains an incendiary, outspoken and brutally candid rapper on the recently released Life is Good, his tenth album and sixth to debut at the top of the Billboard 200.
Critics and fans immediately flocked to Life is Good, with everyone from Rolling Stone ("He cuts his rhymes with midlife realism and daring empathy") and MTV ("The most emotionally raw record he's made since his first") to HipHopDX ("An obvious maturation from the veteran") and Pitchfork ("Best New Music") praising the album. Far from divorcing personal problems from a hyperbolic, caricatured alter ego, Life is Good finds Nas confronting the myriad issues he's faced head-on since 2008's Untitled ("Daughters, "Bye Baby"), mixed with a wayward wisdom that allows him to channel the past without attempting to ape it ("Loco-Motive," "Nasty").
Nas's acclaimed career includes seven platinum albums, Top 5 rankings on MTV's 10 Greatest MCs of All Time, and The Source's Top 50 Lyricists of All Time. In recent years, though, Nas has transcended mere rapper status and engaged in greater levels of philanthropy. The rapper is an avid UNICEF supporter, helping to raise funds for East African region Horn of Africa and teaming up with the family of George Harrison for the organization's Month of Giving. The rapper also donated all proceeds of Distant Relatives, his 2010 collaboration with longtime friend Damian Marley, to help end poverty in Africa.
Nas's desire for greater interaction with his fans has also led him to new business ventures. He serves on the board of social photo sharing site The Fancy alongside Twitter founder Jack Dorsey and Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes. The rapper also became a founding member and launched the lifestyle site 12 Society, which allows fans to receive a monthly shipment of clothes and gear hand-picked by the rapper.
Rapper J-Live once said satirically, "To be a great MC, you have to be a great liar." It's safer to not tell the truth; safer to sanitize your existence; safer to align yourself with the producer du jour; safer to rhyme about tropes over truths. Nas's catalog speaks for itself. Over 10 albums, the rapper has never been one to play it safe. Whether it's rhyming about politics, hip hop, race, religion, other artists or personal relationships, Nas has consistently brought unparalleled and unprecedented levels of honesty to hip hop, a trait often overlooked in the genre. On Life is Good's "Reach Out," Nas rhymes, "So call me a genius/If you didn't/Now that I said it/I force you to think it." For most artists, this would be arrogance bordering on hubris. For Nas, who's remained vital and relevant for nearly 20 years, it's just fact.

News and Events: Press releases
Liberia to Launch Girls Education National Policy
MONROVIA, 17 April 2006 The Government of Liberia will launch its National Girls Education Policy tomorrow. The policy calls for a collective effort to reach Millennium Development Goal 2: universal primary education for every Liberian child.
Her Excellency, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of the Republic of Liberia, will serve as the events chief launcher and will deliver the programmes official statement. The programme, which is being orchestrated by the Ministry of Education, commences at 11:30 AM at Monrovia City Hall.
We are honoured that the President is serving as chief launcher, it reflects the will of our people that when you educate a girl, you also educate a nation, said the Hon. Joseph D. Z. Korto, PhD., Minister of Education. The launch of the policy is the culmination of more than two years of work by the Ministry of Education, UNICEF and other partners, including the Forum for African Women Educationalists, promoting the education of the girl child. Education is vital to ensuring a better quality of life for all children and a better world for all people. But if girls are left behind, those goals can never be achieved. In country after country, educating girls yields spectacular social benefits for the current generation and those to come. An educated girl tends to marry later and have healthier children. They will be better nourished and better educated. She will be more productive at home and better paid in the workplace. She will be better able to protect herself against HIV/AIDS and to assume a more active role in social, economic and political decision-making throughout her life.
The girls education policy calls for:
Meeting Millennium Development Goal 2 by providing free and compulsory primary school and reducing secondary school fees by 50 per cent;
Recruiting and training more female teachers;
Providing counselling in schools for girls;
Ending the impunity of teachers who commit sexual abuse and assault of students;
Offering life skills education at schools to raise self-esteem so girls can say no to sexual abuse;
Increasing the availability of small scale scholarships for girls;
Strengthening health systems in schools;
Opening new parent teacher associations and girls clubs;
And promoting adult literacy.
We applaud the Government of Liberia in making girls education a clear priority, said the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and the Coordinator of United Nations Operations in Liberia, Alan Doss. The policy is consistent with Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention of the Rights of the Child, and therefore all of us at the United Nations must exert all efforts to achieve the goals of girls education. Quality basic education for the girl child is the essential prerequisite for the conquest of poverty, which has become the over-arching goal of the United Nations and the international community in this new century.
UNICEF Liberia Representative Angela Kearney said the release of the girls education policy is due to the work of a team lead by the Ministry of Education that included the Forum for African Women Educationalists, UNMIL, UNESCO, WFP, UNDP, UNIFEM, UNHCR, UNFPA and Oxfam. The WFP is providing food assistance to an estimated 560,000 Liberian schoolchildren. In an incentive for Liberian families to keep girls in school, the WFP is also providing girls in the fifth and sixth grade with take-home rations.
We continue to face a situation in which girls remain at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to enjoying their right to quality basic education. Consider these facts: the present ratio of girls to boys at the primary school level in Liberia is 40 per cent to 59 per cent, according to the Liberian Millennium Development Goals Report by the Ministry of Planning, said Kearney. In West and Central Africa, almost one out of every two children (45 per cent) is out of school and most of these are girls in rural areas. Eighty-one per cent of children out of school have mothers with no formal education. Only 55 per cent of children of school-going age are in school. This new policy is the first important step to eliminate an imbalance between girls and boys and having all children in school. This can only be good for Liberia.

Parents' Campaign founder out to increase awareness
Nancy Loome is on a mission to improve education in the state of Mississippi.
Loome, the executive director the Jackson-based Parents' Campaign, is taking that mission on the road as she will visit 10 communities across the state, making her first stop in Starkville on Thursday.
Loome said she wants to encourage parents and citizens to get involved in the legislative process to ensure that every child has access to an excellent public education.
The Parents' Campaign was started by Loome, who was a stay-at-home mother from Clinton, in 2004 when she heard of a debate about the Legislature following the law and fully funding education.
She thought the basis for the argument was absurd, so she began doing research and found that state legislators were not adequately supporting public education as they had promised, she said. Shortly after conducting her research, Loome began calling legislators and encouraged friends and community members to do the same.
Two years later, her efforts resulted in what is now the Parents' Campaign, which is a non-profit, grass-roots network of more than
60,000 parents and community members who are committed to ensuring quality public education for all the children of Mississippi.Since its founding, the Parents' Campaign has established its top three priorities as standards and accountability, early childhood education and funding resources for public education.
During her presentation, "How Low Can We Go?", Thursday night at the Greensboro Center, Loome spoke about the recent history of education funding.
"In 2008, we made some really important advancements in public education that began to show up in test scores," she said. "At the same time, legislation fully funded Mississippi Adequate Education Program (MAEP), which enabled schools to implement programs that worked to move students, on both ends of the spectrum, forward. But since 2008, we've been steadily going backward in funding," Loome explained. "We are now at the point were MAEP is underfunded by $243 million."
Loome explained in her presentation that contrary to what most believe, 60 percent of the state budget does not go to public education, she said.
In reality, the government defines education to include K-12, community colleges and the university system. Kindergarten through 12th grade school funding makes up about 43 percent of the general fund.
The general fund makes up less than half of the state budget; therefore, K-12 education makes up about 24 percent of the state budget.
As a result of the budget deficit, schools all over the state are losing resources such as more than 2,000 educational personnel, school interventionists, music and art programs, gifted programs and advanced placement options.
Though the Starkville School District has been able to maintain the majority of those programs, Loome cautions that the worst of the budget crisis is not over. "The Starkville School District has really gone the extra mile to protect those programs, but there is going to be a limit to what they can fund," Loome said.
The 2012 fiscal year is projected to be the worst financially in recent years as federal stimulus money will cease to be distributed, which accounted for $128 million last year.
"I'm very concerned about what is around the corner," Loome said. "We've got to stop the cuts or we're headed down a really bad path."
The message behind the Parents' Campaign — and what Loome hopes to share through her visits with communities — is that parents and community members have a much stronger voice than maybe they understand, she said.
"We need to step up and speak up and say to these legislators they need to do a better job of protecting our children," Loome said. "Legislators promised to act in the best interest of their constituents when they asked for your vote, and we need to hold them to that."
Thanks to the Parents' Campaign, Loome has made getting involved a much simpler process.
"We simply send e-mails, give you information and hope you'll make a phone call to our legislators... It really only takes a minute or two to make that phone call," she explained. "We're asking people to stand up and say this is our priority, and we mean it."

It was a busy weekend here at the Shopify office.
On Saturday, Feb. 26, we opened our doors to almost 100 developers who, working in teams or solo, engaged in a heated yet playful competition to create the coolest application using pre-selected APIs. This "Hackfest," labeled HackDays is the brainchild of Leila Boujnane, the co-founder and CEO of Idée Inc, the company that created TinEye, (the world's first large scale reverse image search engine), and Corey Reid, developer herder and sword handler at Freshbooks.
Software developers used open APIs from address directory giant Yellow Pages Group; image search optimizer Idée Inc; online movie store Zip; mobile gaming social marketing startup Pretzil; and of course Shopify :-)
The six-hour pizza and root beer fuelled coding marathon produced 15 awesome apps that were presented to a panel of judges at the end of the day. The winning application, created by Brad Miller (@bradmiller), and Jevin Maltais (@jevy) allows you to make quick online reservations with any restaurant in the world. Simply find a local restaurant on a map and complete the online form. Their app, named Reservely, will automatically phone the restaurant (via Twilio) and will send you a confirmation or denial of your reservation.
(Pictured above from left to right: Corey Reid/Freshbooks, Kyle McInnes/Pretzil, Jean-Luc David/Yellow Pages, Edward Ocampo-Gooding/Shopify, Tobias Lütke/Shopify, Leila Boujnane/Idée Inc)
We really love open APIs here at Shopify, so it was an absolute pleasure hosting HackDays! It's always nice to open our office doors to the tech community, and as a result we met a lot of insanely talented individuals, enjoyed some laughs and we can't wait to do it again.

OXFORD — Selectmen learned Tuesday that a clerk magistrate had found probable cause for a false fire alarm violation and disturbing a public assembly charges for William F. Malloy Jr., 57, a lobbyist for Aquarion Water Co. — and that he was ordered to pay $2,811 restitution to Oxford and serve 6 months of pretrial probation.
Police requested the magistrate's hearing after Mr. Malloy allegedly pulled a fire alarm at the May 7-8 annual town meeting, preventing an early-morning re-vote on a request to approve additional funds to allow the town to complete the takeover of the Oxford Water Company from Aquarion.
John G. Saad, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, said that while he was glad to have this resolved, "If this had been a kid in school who pulled the alarm, they'd have thrown the book at him. This is a serious issue. Thank God no one was hurt or had a heart attack when that alarm went off. There should have been a fine involved. I think the Aquarion consultant got off easy."
In other business, selectmen voted to continue their hearing to Sept. 30 on a request for a transfer of license from Charter Communications Inc. to Comcast Corp. The hearing began on July 29 and was already continued once, to Aug. 12.
Comcast is expected to take over all Charter operations in Massachusetts this spring, if a merger is approved by the Federal Communications Commission between Comcast and Time Warner Cable, which Comcast is buying for $45.2 billion. A related third-party deal is to see Comcast, which already provides cable service to 246 of the state's communities, take over Charter's operations in all 53 communities it serves in Massachusetts.
Selectmen voted to have town counsel check the transfer agreement they have been asked to sign with Comcast and to send a list of questions to the company before making a decision.
Selectmen also heard from former Finance Committee Chairman Cheryl A. LeBlanc, who is serving as liaison between that committee and the School Committee. She said School Committee members had agreed to take a "crash course in municipal finances," and said she would work to make the school budget more detailed and transparent, as selectmen requested.

Andy Jones Weevil from Torchwood signed Autograph
Weevils were roughly humanoid in shape and size, but were a bit taller and had flattened faces with many sharp, fang-like teeth. Though faster and stronger than Humans, they were not extraordinarily powerful and could be injured with electricity, brute force or by Torchwood's anti-Weevil spray—though they began to develop a resistance to the spray. (TW: Combat)
Though not quite cold-blooded, Weevils had a much lower body temperature than Humans. (TWN: Slow Decay) Weevils had an advanced digestive system, allowing them to eat almost anything, though they preferred meat. (TW: Everything Changes, TWN: Slow Decay) They had powerful teeth and killed by ripping out the throat. (TW: Countrycide, TWN: Something in the Water) Their digestive system was connected to their circulatory system, meaning that anything that got in it (be it bacteria or bullets) would eventually be digested. (TWN: Slow Decay) The Pharm was able to extract a pesticide and a powerful defoliant from the Weevils. (TW: Reset)

|HHV8 positive, do I need do change?
Apr 12, 2008
I have been on a Sustiva/Kivexa regime for over 2 years but have been advised, due to raised HHV8, to switch from Sustiva to a PI. I have no side effects from my regime VL down from >100,000 to <40 CD4 up from 136 to 369. So my question is to which PI do I switch. I have no resistence issues but high cholestral due to kidney probs. My main concerns, apart from the obvious - that it works! are Facial/fat/muscle wasting Prefer one a day dosing Few other side effects Another question is if I was going to get wasting when is it likely to occur - over what period. And when could I sigh with vrelief that its unlikely to happen. Thanks
Response from Dr. Pierone
Hello and thanks for posting.
There is no reason to change antiretroviral therapy based on HHV-8 levels. HHV-8 is the virus that causes Kaposi's Sarcoma, but this disease almost never develops when HIV replication is controlled.
So no need to change based on an HHV-8 blood test. However, you may not be able to sigh with relief yet because of recent data showing an association of abacavir (in Kixiva) with higher rate of myocardial infarction. If additional studies verify this linkage then it may be necessary to switch off abacavir, but for now most clinicians are waiting for more data.
Good luck!

The Warriors held Stephen Curry out of the second half as a precaution after another player rolled up on his surgically repaired right ankle late in the second quarter.
Sasha Pavlovic hit a 3-pointer with one minute left to pull the Blazers within 96-95. Klay Thompson made one of two free throws for the Warriors before Pavlovic missed another 3 with 40 seconds to go.
Former Blazer Jarrett Jack hit a layup to extend Golden State's lead to 99-95 with 19 seconds left. Will Barton's basket on the other end kept the Blazers in it, but it was as close as they would come and Thompson made free throws for the final margin.
Klay Thompson had 19 points and Carl Landry had 18 for the Warriors (5-1), who trailed by as many as 12 points in the first half.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 18 points for the Blazers (2-3).
The Blazers jumped out to a 26-15 lead in the first quarter on Nicolas Batum's dunk before the Warriors closed to 28-26 early in the second on Brandon Rush's alley-oop dunk from Jack.
Rush made a pair of free throws to even it at 30, and he added a hook shot to put Golden State ahead 37-34.
Curry went to the end of Golden State's bench after hurting his ankle, but moments later appealed to coach Mark Jackson to go back in. Jackson said no and Curry headed for the locker room.
The team said at halftime that Jackson was sitting Curry for the rest of the night as a precaution.
Curry had surgery on the same ankle in April. He missed 40 games last season because of trouble with the ankle, and averaged career lows of 14.7 points, 5.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds.
The Blazers pulled within 51-48 at the half and the two team kept it close throughout the third quarter. Harrison Barnes put Golden State in front 70-68 with a 3-pointer, but Batum answered with his own 3.
The Warriors led 81-76 going into the fourth quarter after Richard Jefferson's jumper. They upped the lead to 90-83 with 6:30 left on Thompson's driving layup.
The Blazers saw the return of top draft pick Damian Lillard, who missed a game with a bruised left foot. Proclaimed the team's franchise point guard by general manager Neil Olshey, Lillard was the sixth overall pick in the June draft out of Weber State.
Lillard said he was anxious to make his Rose Garden debut against Golden State, because he grew up in Oakland. He went into the game averaging 16.3 points, which led all NBA rookies. He finished the night with 15 points.

Networking buying guide
Sorry, you are not old enough to view this content.
Looking to build your home network? If money is not an issue, check out the cutting-edge, no-compromises Asus RT-AC87U or the Linksys WRT1900AC. These two are on the bleeding edge of Wi-Fi, offering superfast 802.11ac on the 5Ghz frequency band (up to 1,733Mbps), as well as a higher cap speed of 600Mbps on the 2.4Ghz band. They also provide long range and USB 3.0 support and have a boatload of features. If you want the biggest bang for your buck, however, the good old Asus RT-N56U is definitely one to consider. This little true dual-band N600 router packs way more punch than its physical size would indicate, both in terms of range and performance. On a tight budget? Something like the D-Link DIR-605L will serve you well; it'll be a great way to share your Internet connection, and it even comes with cloud-based features.
Want more choices? You can't go wrong with any of the devices on the following regularly updated top-products lists:
1. Best cutting-edge routers In addition to all other existing Wi-Fi standards, the routers on this list also support the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard (also known as 5G Wi-Fi). When used with 5G Wi-Fi clients, they offer wireless connection speeds of up to 1.7Gbps, theoretically about 30 percent faster than a Gigabit Ethernet wired connection. Currently, more and more hardware clients (laptops and mobile devices) support 802.11ac, meaning it only make sense to invest in this standard if you want your network to be good both now and the future. Go to the list of top cutting-edge routers.
2. Best "just-right" routers While 802.11ac is great, it's not necessary if you just want to share the Internet connection. For casual home networking, chances are an N600 or an N900 router are what you need. These routers offer the most value without going overboard, making them the best bargain. To to the list of top "just-right" routers.
3. Best power-line adapters Power-line adapters basically turn the electrical wiring of a home into network cables for a computer network. They're a great alternative to Wi-Fi for a spot in the house where the wireless signal can't reach, or if you want a lag-free connection. You need at least two power-line adapters to form the first power line connection. The first adapter is connected to the router and the second is connected to the Ethernet-ready device that needs help getting the signal. There are some routers on the market, such as the D-Link DHP-1320, that have built-in support for power line, meaning you can skip the first adapter. Go to the list of top power-line adapters.
Frequently asked questions and answers
If you want to know more about networking, read on for answers to common questions below. If you have time, however, I suggest that you check out my series on the basics of home networking. which explains networking terms, standards, and applications in great detail.
Should I use equipment from an ISP? Yes and no. If your ISP offers a free modem, take it. But if you have to buy or "rent" one from your ISP, it's better to ask if there's a list of approved modems and buy your own from a third-party retailer. It's a much better deal to spend about $80 (or much less if you buy used or refurbished) for a cable modem than to pay $7 or so a month to rent it. And keep in mind that most broadband modems of the same standard offer the same performance. You'll find more tips on shopping for a cable Internet modem in this post .
Note: Service providers generally want you to use their wireless routers. Unless it's free, you shouldn't use one from your ISP. Virtually all routers work with all home broadband services, and choosing your own gives you the option of getting the best device for your home. That's also true if your ISP offers a modem/router combo device for free. In that case, you'd be stuck with a device that is, more often than not, far behind what you can get on the market. A combo device also limits your flexibility for upgrades, replacements, and repairs. Some ISPs don't allow you to buy your own, though, so be sure to check.
Gigabit or not? Generally, a router's wired ports come in either the Gigabit Ethernet (1,000Mbps) or just regular Ethernet (100Mbps) standard. As you'd expect, Gigabit is 10 times faster (and indeed 10 times faster in real life). To put this in perspective, though, a CD's worth of data (about 700MB, or about 250 digital songs) takes about 5 seconds to transfer over a Gigabit Ethernet connection, and about a minute over a regular Ethernet connection.
That said, note that most Internet connections are much slower than 100Mbps. A top-tier residential cable broadband connection, for example, caps at about 50Mbps, half the potential speed of Ethernet. So if you just want to share an Internet connection, there's generally no need for a Gigabit router. If you get a Wi-Fi router, however, make sure it supports the Wireless-N (802.11n) standard: this is because older Wi-Fi routers (802.11g or older) might have a WAN port that doesn't fully support the 100Mbps speed. On the other hand, note that it never hurts to have Gigabit Ethernet and if you're lucky enough to have a superfast Internet connection, such as Fios, Gigabit is a must. The good news is Gigabit Ethernet is now much cheaper than it was a year ago.
Is USB support necessary? Many routers have a USB port; some even have two. Generally, this allows the router to host a printer or an external hard drive. The former means that you can share a USB printer with the rest of the network, allowing multiple computers, including those connected to the network via Wi-Fi, to print to that printer simultaneously. The latter means that you can connect an external hard drive to the router and share data stored on it with all network devices on the local network; this also enables you to stream digital content to network media players.
Note: While it's cool and convenient to have a router with built-in network storage features, keep in mind that this type of router is always inferior in performance and features to a dedicated NAS server. On top of that, since they're just add-on features, the router might not provide the same level of security as a dedicated NAS. Consequently, network storage via a USB-enabled router should be used only for casual data sharing and streaming needs.
Many new printers come with built-in networking features, meaning that they can connect to the network by themselves via a network cable or Wi-Fi without USB ports. In this case, you don't need a router with a USB port to share these printers.
Dual-band or single-band? Wi-Fi signal works on two frequency bands, the ever-popular 2.4GHz and the relatively new 5GHz. Though Wi-Fi signals of the same standard have the same speed caps on both of these bands, the 5GHz band tends to offer much better real-world data rates. This is partly because the 2.4GHz band is saturated due to the sheer number of Wi-Fi clients on the market, and also because other home appliances, such as cordless phones, use
this band, too.
If you live in a neighborhood with few Wi-Fi networks around, or if you just want to share a connection to the Internet, a good single-band 2.4GHz router should work just fine. On the other hand, if you want to have a robust Wi-Fi network with lots of local and Internet activity, you probably want a dual-band router that offers Wi-Fi signals on both bands simultaneously. Note that which band a Wi-Fi connection uses depends on both the router and the client. Most existing hardware clients, such as the iPhone 4 or the older iPad. only support the 2.4GHz band, so a dual-band router offers no benefit. It never hurts to have the dual-band feature on your router, however, and almost all new portable Wi-Fi devices now support both bands.
Are Apple AirPort routers worth the extra cost? Yes and no. Yes if you're into looks, and ease of use. Mac users will also find these devices more convenient to use since the AirPort Utility software is included in Mac OS X.
But you're looking to get the most out of your network, or just want to customize common features, such as Web filtering or Quality of Service (QoS), then steer away from Apple's AirPort base stations. These devices, including the new AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule, offer fast performance, great design, and overall ease of use, at the grave expense of customization options and features. When it comes to networking, options and features generally trump design, especially if you have to pay extra just for the design.
Note that networking devices are platform-agnostic, meaning you don't need to buy an Apple router to get your Macs and iOS devices connected. Likewise, Apple's AirPort routers also work with non-Apple clients.
When do I need an access point? An access point (AP) is a device that broadcasts a Wi-Fi signal so clients, such as tablets and laptops, can connect to it. A wireless router is actually a regular router with a built-in access point. There are generally two situations where you'd need an access point: when your existing router or office network doesn't already offer Wi-Fi, and when you want to extend a Wi-Fi signal to an existing network. Since most home routers now come with Wi-Fi capability, you would generally only need a standalone access point to extend the Wi-Fi coverage. In this case place it farther away from the existing Wi-Fi router, and connect it to the router using a network cable (or via a power line connection ). This is the most effective way to extend your Wi-Fi network.
How to find the best Wi-Fi extender? A Wi-Fi extender is the second-best way to extend your Wi-Fi network, mostly because it's very convenient. Basically, it's a device that you place between the original Wi-Fi router and the client that's currently just a little too far out of range, and it will bridge the two. There's no wiring involved. However, there are a few things that you need to consider when getting a range extender for them to work effectively.
First, the extender needs to be the same standard as the original Wi-Fi network or better. For example, if you have a dual-band router that offers up to 450Mbps (three-stream) Wi-Fi speed, then you need to get an extender that also supports this Wi-Fi standard. Note that generally an extender only extends one frequency band at a time, so you might need two separate extenders to extend both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz bands in a dual-band network. Getting a range extender that supports an older or slower standard will affect not only the data speed but also the coverage of the extended Wi-Fi network, hence defeating the purpose of the extender itself. Getting an extender that supports a newer or faster Wi-Fi standard doesn't hurt, but won't give you the most bang for your buck.
Secondly, it's imperative to find the sweet spot to place the extender. This is the spot where the signal of the original Wi-Fi network is just about to wane. You can find this place by moving away from the original Wi-Fi network slowly and finding the farthest spot where you still receive full bars of Wi-Fi reception. Too close, the extender becomes less effective and even creates interference that adversely affects the original network. Too far, and there's not much signal for it to extend. For this reason, in most cases, a combination of a power line adapter kit and an access point, or a combined kit such as the Netgear XAVNB2001, makes a much better alternative to a range extender.
Finally, the best extender to get is the one that's made by the same vendor as the Wi-Fi router that you're using (and happy with). Again, pick one that supports the same Wi-Fi standard. Getting an extender from a different vendor works, too, but it might be a little hard to set up, if you're a novice user. For more on how to best set up your network, check out this post on how to optimize your Wi-Fi at home .
Is IPv6 important? IPv6 is a new Internet protocol that's replacing the existing IPv4 that's running out of addressing space. In the distant future, IPv6 will replace IPv4 completely, but for now all Internet sites and services, including those that have already adopted IPv6, support IPv4. New IPv6 equipment is also designed in such a way that it can coexist with IPv4 devices. Home users don't really need to worry about IPv6. It doesn't hurt to buy equipment that supports this new protocol, though; additionally, most, if not all, new home-networking devices now support IPv6.
More buying tips
Do your own research. It's very important not to rely solely on commercials or advice from sales reps when buying networking devices. If you have time, read reviews, look at the test scores, check different sources. This is especially important with wireless devices, because you don't want to be disconnected constantly. CNET puts wireless routers through stress tests to determine if they offer a stable Wi-Fi signal during an extended period of time.
Brand names don't always equal quality. Quality is not always consistent for networking brands. Take Linksys, for example, while the WRT1900AC is a great router, previous router in its EA series (such as the EA6500 ) are far from the best on the market, at least with the initial firmware versions. So you don't want to go by just the brand names.
Buy equipment of the same standard. While all wireless devices are generally compatible regardless of brand or Wi-Fi standard, getting devices of the same standard helps optimize your network and saves money. For example, if you have just Wireless-N devices at home, it doesn't help to buy an expensive router that supports 802.11ac. Or if you have a Gigabit Ethernet router, you also want to have a Gigabit switch in case you want to add more wired devices to the network.
When it comes to power line networking, it also helps to get adapters from the same vendors. This ensures their compatibility, especially in terms of security.

What Exactly is a Softphone?
I am sure you have heard the term softphone recently with the huge growth of everything VoIP, but have you ever asked yourself; what is a softphone? Common sense will tell you that it is a phone but what kind of phone and how could it affect your business?
You're not the only person who has asked us what is a softphone, which is why we've put together this guide. Basically, a softphone is a phone that lets you make calls over the internet from a computer or other smart device. As the name would imply, it is a piece of software that acts as a phone interface, allowing you to dial phone numbers and carry out other phone related functions via a screen (PDA or Computer) using your mouse, keypad or keyboard. Conversations usually take place through a headset or a microphone and computer speakers.
The softphone software or application can be downloaded from a variety of providers such as Counterpath or SNOM. These are sometimes also referred to as 'clients'. Many of these applications are free although some have a modest cost. Softphone clients are available for Macintosh, Windows and Linux computers, and many smartphones, such as Androids and iPhones.
In most cases, you'll find a softphone used in conjunction with VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol. This form of computer telephony uses an internet connection to deliver voice information over the internet. For more information regarding VoIP and VoIP requirements, please check out this page. VoIP calls can go over a standard internet connection on your local network, wireless networking (WIFI) or even a cellular data network, such as 3G or 4G.
So, we have a softphone client and an internet connection. There is one more component needed to use a softphone and that is a provider. Although anyone can download and use the free softphone software, a VoIP service provider must provide the underlying VoIP phone service over which the calls are carried. A softphone is registered with the service provider, and often a phone number is assigned. Calls to and from the softphone are routed over the service provider's network. The features and functionality of each softphone will vary somewhat from one softphone provider to another.
So who can benefit from using a softphone? Telecommuters and anyone who travels frequently for starters. For users on the go, especially those who travel overseas, softphone service allows them to conveniently make calls from their smartphones and laptops, saving them the hassle and expense of using a hotel phone or roaming on a cell phone. Also, softphones are well suited for small and medium size businesses that save money by cutting their ties with expensive traditional phone companies. Furthermore, softphones do not require expensive hardware which needs to be maintained. Softphones are inexpensive and easy to upgrade.
Thinking about trying out a softphone yet? If so, VirtualPBX would be happy to help you set up you softphone to best fit your needs. Every Virtual PBX system includes VoIP Anywhere technology, which can turn your cellular phone or computer into a Virtual PBX VoIP phone. With VoIP Anywhere and our award-winning open-systems approach, you can use any standard SIP softphone, from almost any vendor, to make and receive calls over your data connection. We've reduced the bandwidth requirement so that high quality calls can be made over 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi connections. You simply register your softphone as a VoIP device in our service, and open the softphone application to make calls.
Benefits of a VirtualPBX Softphone
Tons of Included Features
All standard VirtualPBX features that are available to a VoIP extension are available to all calls to and from a VirtualPBX Softphone, like call recording, or choosing your caller ID. And softphone calls are included in your VirtualPBX business reports so you'll always have records of every call. You can make outbound calls from your mobile phone without giving up your personal phone number. And call-backs go to your company number, not to your personal phone. You protect yourself while looking more professional.
Little to No Cost
Our flat-rate plans include the ability to add the VirtualpBX Softphone App at no charge and the VirtualPBX Desktop Softphone is available for a fraction of the cost of a traditional phone. Using a softphone on a VirtualPBX account is often free or only a few dollars a month per line, depending on your plan. Also, any minutes used on a softphone typically just drawn from the pool of minutes on your as part of your plan. You can compare all Dash Plans for the complete list of plans, softphone charges, and minute pools.
Getting Started
To put a softphone on your VirtualPBX account, you should first download a softphone from a good provider. Then, you add the softphone to your account starting from the VoIP Phones page of our vConsole web portal. For more information visit our VoIP support pages.

Is it just a competitive effect of Mg2+ instead of Ca2+ running through the presynaptic Ca2+ channels and thus preventing the intracellular vesicle exocytosis because of the absence of appropriate binding sites? Or am I missing something? Addtitional: To achieve te same (and some other) effects I'm using lowCa2+/EGTA Ringer.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) The Buffalo Bills may be without wide receiver Donald Jones, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's home game against Jacksonville (2-9) after missing significant practice time this week.
``Donald Jones has had some tightness in his calf,'' coach Chan Gailey said on Friday, ``and we keep trying to get it out but we haven't been able to do that yet. So he didn't practice.''
Jones is second on the Bills (4-7) in receptions (38), yards receiving (410) and touchdown catches (4).
Gailey said Jones had missed parts of two practices before not participating at all on Friday. He said he's neither pessimistic nor optimistic about his receiver, but that missing practices wouldn't hurt Jones' mental preparation for Sunday.
Justin Rogers did more in practice after a foot injury limited him Thursday. The cornerback is questionable, as is defensive tackle Spencer Johnson. Johnson missed Thursday with an illness but was back on the field Friday.

Sleeping Princess In Devils Castle Lyrics
And I hope every morning you wake up, it hurts more and doesn't stop.
And I hope every night you rest you lay and pray for death.
You made a better a trophy in my dreams.
And now you are my nightmare.
I wonder, "Where did I go wrong?"
And you were all that's left of what it meant to live.
Don't worry, this will only hurt for a second.
Sleep soundly. Just where did I go wrong?
And hoping for changes, we've wasted this, and what for?
One more day of this weight.
One more day of this dissolved presence.
