Lady Mary Brandon, Baroness Monteagle (2 June 1510 – between 1540/1544), was an English noblewoman, and the daughter of Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk, by his second wife, Anne Browne. Mary was the wife of Thomas Stanley, 2nd Baron Monteagle, by whom she had six children.
Mary Brandon was a lady-in-waiting to Queen consort Jane Seymour, third wife of King Henry VIII, who held her in high favour. She was the subject of a portrait by Hans Holbein the Younger.
Lady Mary Brandon was born on 2 June 1510, the second eldest daughter of Charles Brandon by his second wife, Anne Browne, daughter of Sir Anthony Browne, Standard-Bearer of England and Lucy Neville daughter of John Neville, 1st Marquess of Montagu. Mary had an elder sister, Lady Anne Brandon. Prior to his marriage to Anne Browne, Charles Brandon had married her aunt, the wealthy widow, Margaret Neville; however, he had been previously bethrothed to Anne, and deserted her while she was pregnant with Mary's sister, Anne. After his marriage to Margaret was declared null and void due to his pre-contract with Anne Browne, he married the latter. Years later in 1528, Pope Clement VII issued a Papal Bull, which confirmed that Charles Brandon's divorce from Margaret Neville was valid, thus establishing the legitimacy of Mary and Anne.
In 1511, Anne Browne died, and four years later, Charles Brandon, recently created Duke of Suffolk, married his third wife, Mary Tudor, the widowed Queen of France. Mary and Anne would be brought up with their father, stepmother and three half-siblings, Henry Brandon, 1st Earl of Lincoln, Lady Frances Brandon, and Lady Eleanor Brandon at Westhorpe Hall.
In 1533, following the death of Mary Tudor on 25 June, Mary and her sister Anne, by then Baroness Grey of Powys, pushed themselves to the front of the funeral cortege at the Abbey of St. Edmundsbury, just as the coffin was being lowered into the crypt, much to the consternation of their half-siblings.[1] On 7 September 1533, Charles Brandon married his 14-year-old ward, Katherine Willoughby.[2]
Marriage and issue[edit]
Sometime before 1527, Mary married Thomas Stanley, 2nd Baron Monteagle, son of Edward Stanley, 1st Baron Monteagle and Elizabeth Vaughan. Thomas Stanley was made a Knight of the Bath at the coronation of King Henry VIII's 2nd wife, Anne Boleyn, on 1 June 1533.
Together, Mary and Thomas had six children:[3]
- William Stanley, 3rd Baron Monteagle (1528 - 10 November 1581), married firstly, Anne Leyburne, by whom he had one daughter, Elizabeth; and secondly, Anne Spencer.
- Francis Stanley, died childless.
- Charles Stanley, died childless.
- Elizabeth Stanley, married Richard Zouche, died childless.
- Anne Stanley, married Sir John Clifton and had issue.
- Margaret Stanley, married firstly, William Sutton, and secondly John Taylard.
She spent most of her time at the royal court where she served as a favoured lady-in-waiting to Queen Jane Seymour who made her a present of some jewellery.[4] Her portrait was drawn by Flemish painter, Hans Holbein the Younger.
In 1538, her husband complained to Thomas Cromwell about misbehaviour on her part, but nothing ever came of the allegations.[5]
Mary Brandon died sometime between 1540 and 1544. Her husband died on 18 August 1560.

1. Prologue
Camilla: We crave the presence of the embodiment of suffering, the ruler of darkness!
(Camilla lifts her hands and a shaft of light from above strikes the coffin) (ground rumbles) (coffin explodes to reveal Dracula)
Dracula: I have waited for this moment, to be awake again. To bask in darkness and feel
the moonlight within.
Camilla: Count Dracula, I am honored to be in your presence.
Dracula: Indeed. Though I lack my full power.
Camilla: We are preparing the rite to replenish your power...
(Maurice Baldwin, Hugh Baldwin, and Nathan Graves run into the room)
Maurice: Stop! You cannot be allowed to taint the world!
Dracula: You...I remember...you were one of the vampire killers that sealed me. You've aged.
Maurice: It is our duty to see you banished.
Dracula: Amusing, to use my nemesis' life to return to my power. I have no use for children. Be gone!
(Dracula blasts the floor beneath Nathan and Hugh)
Maurice: Hugh! Nathan!
Nathan: Master!
Hugh: Father!
(both boys fall down a long tunnel)
Nathan: Hmmm. No creatures around here. Hugh, are you okay?
Hugh: Yeah. We were just brushed aside and ignored.
Nathan: We have to find Master.
Hugh: I'll go. He's my father. Nathan, you'll be in the way. Just get out of here.
(Hugh leaves Nathan)
Nathan: I want to find Master as much as anybody.
2. Nathan and Necromancer at the Audience Room
Necromancer: Extraordinary! To be dropped into the abyss and still live! But your luck is
about to run out.
Nathan: Get out of my way!
Necromancer: Child, before I finish you, I will tell you some news. Your precious master
is already in our power.
Nathan: What?!
Necromancer: That old man will feed us with his soul. The rite has been prepared and we
only await the full moon.
Nathan: No!
(player takes over and defeats both Necromancer's forms)
Nathan: I know Master is still alive! Hold on, I'll be there. Although...where is Hugh?
3. Nathan and Hugh at the Machine Tower
Nathan: Hugh! Are you alright?
Hugh: What are you doing here? Are you trying to take my glory?!
Nathan: Wha? What are you talking about? I just want to save Master.
Hugh: You're in the way! I will defeat Dracula myself! And then...
Nathan: Hugh?
4. Nathan and Hugh at the Chapel Tower
(Hugh is knocked backwards out the room where Adrameleck is)
Nathan: Hugh! You okay?!
Hugh: You! Back off! This is my trophy to claim!
(Hugh tries to get up but falls back down)
Hugh: Urgg!
Nathan: Hugh!
(after beating Adrameleck)
Hugh: Damn! Who asked you for help?!
Nathan: I couldn't just leave you, could I?
Hugh: Don't think that you defeated it. It was the power of that whip.
Nathan: Hugh?
Hugh: You could never beat me in training. Never once! But father named you the successor and gave you the Hunter Whip. Your parents and my father banished Dracula together and those fond memories clouded his judgment. Don't forget that!
5. Nathan and Camilla at the Underground Waterway
Nathan: You. You were with Dracula in the hall.
Camilla: I am Camilla. I beckoned Dracula forth again.
Nathan: Why do you want his return? To turn this world into a living hell?
Camilla: But isn't this world hellish already? People are intrigued by darkness, and covet chaos and power. They are dirty self-centered mongrels. I simply wish the world to properly reflect this image.
Nathan: You are delusional!
Camilla: If only you too would embrace the darkness in your soul, then a new world would unfold before you.
Nathan: Shut up!
Camilla: The one who was with you...he was more honest with himself. Even my Master approves of him. (giggle)
Nathan: What? What have you done to Hugh?
(after beating Camilla)
Camilla: You are too late. The rite has been prepared. Only the full moon is missing. It is just a matter of time, before the Master has his full power of Darkness. Your precious Master and friend will...
(Camilla screams and dies)
Nathan: Master! Hugh!
6. Nathan and Hugh at the Observation Tower
Hugh: Nathan, so you've finally arrived.
Nathan: Hugh?! You're okay? I thought that they...
(Hugh suddenly slashes at Nathan) (Nathan dodges)
Nathan: Hugh! What are you doing?!
Hugh: I am superior to you. I will defeat you to prove myself to father!
Nathan: You are being controlled by...Camilla? No...by Dracula!
(player takes over and defeats the possessed Hugh)
Nathan: Stop Hugh! I don't want to hurt you. Hugh!
Hugh: Nathan? I, I'm...I'm all right now.
Nathan: You are yourself again.
Hugh: Nathan...I am sorry. I was envious of you.
Nathan: ?!
Hugh: When father named you the successor, I was afraid that I was worthless. I wanted...needed the recognition.
Nathan: Enough.
Hugh: My father saw that darkness in my heart. So he chose you...
Nathan: Stop, Hugh.
Hugh: That's probably the dark weakness that father saw...in my soul...why he chose you.
Nathan: Stop it Hugh.
Hugh: It's all right. Even I realize now that father was right in his decision. Don't make me embarrass myself further. Allow me self-pity for now. Help father now. I am entrusting his return to you.
Nathan: I accept.
7. Final battle with Dracula
Dracula: Hmm. You have done well to come so far.
Nathan: Master!
Dracula: Impeccable timing. The time for the rite is upon us. Your soul will become ours as well.
Nathan: Not if I can help it! Master, are you all right?
Dracula: What an emotional display. But don't fool yourself. Even you must have darkness upon your soul.
Nathan: What?!
Dracula: To be superior. To be honored for your singular accomplishments...
Nathan: !
Dracula: ...to be loved by all...to get the glory even at the expense of others. That is what your friend craved. I just increased that desire, that power.
Nathan: You despicable blight! How dare you toy with his soul. I'll get you for that!
(player takes over) (Dracula's first form beaten)
Dracula: Power...I need my full power!
(shaft of light sucks Dracula into it)
Nathan: Huh?
(moves closer to the shaft of light) (Hugh Baldwin runs in and unties his father from the pillar)
Maurice: Chase him! Don't let him escape! Urgg...
Nathan: !!
Hugh: I'll take care of father. You go after him!
Nathan: ...right. Get Master to safety.
Hugh: Nathan, banish Dracula and make sure you get out.
Nathan: I will.
8. The Ending
Dracula: It is a wasted effort. I will never truly be gone. So long as there is darkness and desire in the soul of man. I will continue to be revived.
Nathan: And we will be there to stop you. You can bet on that.
(Nathan escapes the crumbling castle) (he meets with Hugh and Morris at seaside)
Nathan: Master, are you well?
Morris: Nathan? Thank you. You did well. ... you have become a Hunter in your own right. Hugh. I need to thank you as well. But your training must begin anew.
Hugh: I know father. I will train like I was reborn to become worthy. Hey Nathan. If you become soft, I'll take over for you.
Nathan: I look forward to the challenge, Hugh.

Moving on not retiring
Many people when they retire have a party or at least go out for a few pints.
In my case I have a completely different approach I organized a photography session.
As luck would have it I had been contact by Rebecca Dore, an aspiring model. She was interested in a photo-shoot. Our idea was a 'sixties look' for which she had the perfect dress.The dress was black with white detail so I let the subject dictate the location. Ironically I started my photography career in 1960's London plus I own a black Vespa scooter. What I wanted to achieve was a color/black & white image. The background should be grey. The steps and walls under the Luas Line at the grand canal was perfect.
(I tend to collect locations I'd noted this as a 'possible' quite soon after the line was completed)
What fascinated me was the whole shoot was organised on Facebook: the dress, make up artist, hair, location etc.
In fact we didn't meet until the time of the shoot. Rebecca had a make-up artist Carolina Pinciuk she trusted and I new what look I was going for.
We changed the lip color to make the image pop.

Cities and rural transformation: A spatial analysis of rural youth livelihoods in Ghana :: IFPRI Publications
Urbanization has had a major impact on livelihoods in Ghana and throughout Africa as a whole. However, much research on urbanization has focused on effects occurring within cities, while there is insufficient understanding of its effects on rural areas. This paper examines the impact of urbanization—through a typology of districts—on rural livelihoods in Ghana.
The impact of Ethiopia's Productive Safety Net Programme on the nutritional status of children: 2008–2012 :: IFPRI Publications
Ethiopia's Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) is a large-scale social protection intervention aimed at improving food security and stabilizing asset levels. The PSNP contains a mix of public works employment and unconditional transfers. It is a well-targeted program; however, several years passed before payment levels reached the intended amounts. The findings, along with work by other researchers, have informed revisions to the PSNP. Future research will assess whether these revisions have led to improvements in the diets and anthropometric status of preschool children in Ethiopia.
Liquid milk: Cash constraints and day-to-day intertemporal choice in financial diaries :: IFPRI Publications
This paper analyzes implications of cash constraints for collective marketing, using the case of the Kenyan dairy sector. Collective marketing, for instance through cooperatives, can improve smallholder farmer income but relies on informal, nonenforceable agreements to sell outputs collectively. Side selling of output in the local market occurs frequently and is typically attributed to price differences between the market and cooperative. This paper provides an alternative explanation, namely that farmers sell in the local market when they are cash constrained because cooperatives defer payments while buyers in local markets pay cash immediately.
Women's empowerment in agriculture: Implications for technical efficiency in rural Bangladesh :: IFPRI in external sources
Although a great deal of research exists on gender and agriculture, few studies investigate the implications of reduced gender disparities in households for technical efficiency. In this article, I compare the levels of technical efficiency achieved on plots operated by households with different levels of gender disparities. Using plot-level data from the 2011–2012 Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey and drawing on indicators derived from the Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index, I estimate a stochastic frontier production function model, which includes women's empowerment in agriculture as an exogenous determinant of technical inefficiency. I find that reduced gender disparities within households (measured in terms of the empowerment gap between spouses) are associated with higher levels of technical efficiency. This result extends to plots that women jointly manage with their spouses, as well as those that women do not actively manage.
Improved Nutrition through Agricultural Extension and Advisory Services: Case studies of Curriculum Review and Operational Lessons from India :: IFPRI Publications
Even after several decades of green revolution, malnutrition continues to be a major development challenge in much of South Asia, and India has a major share of the malnourished people in the region. The nutritional issues in India are complex and therefore require a multifaceted, multidisciplinary solution. One facet of the solution is increasing knowledge about the causes of and solutions to malnutrition at the farm household level through agricultural extension. Through case studies, face-to-face consultations at the national level down to ground level program implementation have been developed. These include consultative workshops, and a conceptual framework and strategy for incorporating nutrition into extension curriculum development to improve nutrition outcomes. The strategy detailed in this report includes opportunities for collaboration from the national level to the community level.
Tanzania has grown more rapidly over the past 12 years than at any other time in recent history. Employment growth has been strong, keeping up with population growth at roughly 2.5 percent per year; 90% of employment growth has been in the non-agricultural sector. However, the vast majority of this non-agricultural employment growth has occurred in the informal sector. Using Tanzania's first nationally representative survey of micro, small and medium sized enterprises - we show that firms in the informal sector contributed roughly half a percentage point to economy-wide labor productivity growth in Tanzania between 2002 and 2012. However, virtually all of the labor productivity growth contributed by informal firms came from a small subset of firms we call the in-between firms. These could be used for targeting financial and business services to firms with the potential to grow.
Maternal desire for children of a particular sex has important implications for the well-being of household members. A simple theoretical model predicts that when a child is born of their mother's preferred sex, parents will allocate more resources towards that child, resulting in healthier children. I test this prediction empirically using a longitudinal data set from Indonesia. Each mother's preferred sex, defined by whether she prefers for future children to be male or female, is matched to the observed sex of her subsequent child. Because this measure of maternal sex preference is established before conception, identification requires only that the sex at birth of the subsequent child is random. I find that children born of their mother's preferred sex are heavier, have a higher body mass index, and experience fewer illnesses in early childhood. I show that reductions in subsequent fertility can explain roughly half of the total effect.
This book establishes the core criteria for consideration as new policies and regulations are developed, including application-based principles that ensure practical, effective implementation of policy. From the economic contribution of nutrition on quality of life, to the costs of malnutrition on society from both an individual and governmental level, this book guides the reader through the factors that can determine the success or failure of a nutrition policy.
For more than three decades, IFPRI has engaged in strong partnerships with German development agencies, universities, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to build the evidence base needed to effectively tackle pressing development issues. Initially, IFPRI and German partners worked together to identify strategies that promote sustainable rural development for reducing poverty; over time, the collaborations have expanded to include food and nutrition security. The German government's longstanding, generous, and unrestricted support has allowed IFPRI to conduct cutting-edge policy research. IFPRI's project-specific work with the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) has contributed to global, regional, and national development strategies. Various partnerships between IFPRI and the German government have influenced effective strategies for agricultural growth and building resilience to climate change, particularly in Africa. The result has been an exceptional integration and exchange of knowledge on critical issues related to food and nutrition security, which has enhanced the quality of research as well as the development outcomes and impact of both IFPRI and the German organizations.
This article documents global and regional changes in aggregate agricultural land use, per capita land use, and average farm sizes. The spatial distribution of global farming land has changed dramatically, with developed countries substantially reducing their share of global agricultural land, and land-abundant developing countries substantially increasing their share. In per capita terms, we see a rather different pattern, with average farm sizes increasing in rich and more commercialized agricultural systems, and generally declining or staying constant in poorer and less commercialized systems. These outcomes are the result of complex processes that are not always well understood. I conclude the article by suggesting new, or neglected, areas of research that would facilitate a better understanding of these critically important developments.
The impact of Ethiopia's Productive Safety Net Programme on the nutritional status of children: 2008–2012 :: IFPRI Publications
Ethiopia's Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) is a large-scale social protection intervention aimed at improving food security and stabilizing asset levels. It contains a mix of public works employment and unconditional cash and food transfers. PSNP has been successful in improving household food security. However, children's nutritional status in the localities where PSNP operates is poor, with 48 percent of children stunted in 2012. This leads to the question of whether the the program could improve child nutrition. PSNP contains a mix of public works employment and unconditional cash and food transfers. In this paper, we examine the impact of the program on children's nutritional status over the period 2008–2012. Doing so requires paying particular attention to the targeting of the PSNP and how payment levels have evolved over time.
This paper explores the implications of home ownership as a status good for housing prices. More concretely, if a family's housing wealth relative to others is an important sorting variable for relative attractiveness in the marriage market, then competition for marriage partners might motivate people to pursue a bigger and more expensive house/apartment. To test the hypothesis, we explore regional variations in the sex ratio for the pre-marital age cohort across China (as a proxy for differential strength for concerns for status). We find that the evidence is consistent with the status competition hypothesis.
Agriculture and the rural economy in Pakistan: Issues, outlooks, and policy priorities: Synopsis :: IFPRI Publications
While policy makers, media, and the international community focus their attention on Pakistan's ongoing security challenges, the potential of the rural economy, and particularly the agricultural sector, to improve Pakistanis' well-being is being neglected. Agriculture is crucial to Pakistan's economy. Almost half of the country's labor force works in the agricultural sector, which produces food and inputs for industry (such as cotton for textiles) and accounts for over a third of Pakistan's total export earnings. Equally important are non-farm economic activities in rural areas, such as retail sales in small village shops, transportation services, and education and health services in local schools and clinics. Rural non-farm activities account for between 40 and 57 percent of total rural household income. Their large share of income means that the agricultural sector and the rural non-farm economy have vital roles to play in promoting growth and reducing poverty in Pakistan.
How should rural financial cooperatives be best organized? Evidence from Ethiopia :: IFPRI Publications
What is the optimal size and composition of Rural Financial Cooperatives (RFCs)? With this broad question in mind, we characterize alternative formation of RFCs and their implications in improving the access of rural households to financial services, including savings, credit, and insurance services. We find that some features of RFCs have varying implications for delivering various financial services. The size of RFCs is found to have a nonlinear relationship with the various financial services RFCs provide.This evidence provides suggestive insights on how to ensure financial inclusion among smallholders, a pressing agenda and priority of policy makers in developing countries, including Ethiopia. The results also provide some insights into rural microfinance operations which are striving to satisfy members' demand for financial services.
An assessment of the livestock economy in mixed crop-livestock production systems in Ethiopia :: IFPRI Publications
Unlike most studies that focus purely on aspects of livestock production, this study provides a detailed descriptive assessment of the livestock production and marketing behavior of smallholder mixed crop-livestock farmers. The study uses a dataset collected in the Agricultural Growth Program baseline survey from farm households in districts of Ethiopia with high potential in grain crops production, areas which have a significant share of the livestock in the country. Smallholder livestock production is characterized by lower levels of livestock ownership, limited market orientation, and lower productivity. Our assessment apprises the current status of livestock production systems in Ethiopia and highlights potential income sources from livestock, including positive synergies between these income sources to help reduce poverty and to promote economic growth in rural communities.
Growth has accelerated in a wide range of developing countries over the last couple of decades, resulting in an extraordinary period of convergence with the advanced economies. We analyze this experience from the lens of structural change – the reallocation of labor from low- to high-productivity sectors. Patterns of structural change differ greatly in the recent growth experience.
Micronutrient policy change in South Africa: Implications for the Kaleidoscope Model for food security policy change :: IFPRI Publications
This review of micronutrient policy processes in South Africa serves as a companion piece to two parallel studies in Malawi and Zambia. All three studies employ the Kaleidoscope Model of policy change to trace the causal forces leading to key micronutrient policy decisions in each of the three countries. The analysis in this paper traces the evolution of policies in the pre- and post-apartheid periods through to the present time. In addition to a substantive review of published and grey literature on micronutrient status and policies in South Africa, the research team conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 policy stakeholders in South Africa between October 2015 and June 2016 using a standardised interview guide.
Be patient when measuring hyperbolic discounting: Stationarity, time consistency and time invariance in a field experiment :: IFPRI
Hyperbolic discounting is one potential reason why savings remain low among the poor. Our field experiment in Nigeria examines the extent to which this is the case. The experiment measured both stationarity and time consistency for the same participants. Violations of the two rarely coincide, especially among more liquidity-constrained participants. Thus, in a context of liquidity constraints, eliciting only one type of choice reversal is insufficient to identify hyperbolic discounting.
Using data from the Groningen Growth and Development Center's Africa Sector Database and the Demographic and Health Surveys, we show that much of Africa's recent growth and poverty reduction has been associated with a substantive decline in the share of the labor force engaged in agriculture. This decline is most pronounced for rural women over the age of 25 who have a primary education; it has been accompanied by a systematic increase in the productivity of the labor force, as it has moved from low productivity agriculture to higher productivity services and manufacturing. We also show that although the employment share in manufacturing is not expanding rapidly, in most of the low-income African countries, the employment share in manufacturing has not peaked and is still expanding, albeit from very low levels. More work is needed to understand the implications of these shifts in employment shares for future growth and development in Africa south of the Sahara.
The critical role of risk in setting directions for water, food and energy policy and research :: IFPRI
The sustainable development goals (SDGs) challenge markets, regulators and practitioners to achieve multiple objectives on water, food and energy. This calls for responses that are coordinated and scaled appropriately. Learning from water–energy–food nexus could support much-needed building of links between the separate SDGs. The concept has highlighted how risks manifest when blinkered development and management of water, food and energy reduce resource security across sectors and far-reaching scales. However, three under-studied dimensions of these risks must be better considered in order to identify leverage points for sustainable development: first, externalities and shared risks across multiple scales; second, innovative government mechanisms for shared risks; and third, negotiating the balance between silos, politics and power in addressing shared risks.
Agricultural extension messages using video on portable devices increased knowledge about seed selection, storage and handling among smallholder potato farmers in southwestern Uganda :: IFPRI
To feed a growing population, agricultural productivity needs to increase dramatically. Agricultural extension information, with its public, non-rival nature, is generally under-supplied, and public provision remains challenging. In this study, simple agricultural extension video messages, delivered through Android tablets, were tested in the field to determine if they increased farmers' knowledge of recommended practices on (i) potato seed selection and (ii) seed storage and handling among a sample of potato farmers in southwestern Uganda. Using a field experiment with ex ante matching in a factorial design, it was established that showing agricultural extension videos significantly increased farmers' knowledge. However, results suggested impact pathways that went beyond simply replicating what was shown in the video. Video messages may have triggered a process of abstraction, whereby farmers applied insights gained in one context to a different context.
Monitoring population diet quality and nutrition status with household consumption and expenditure surveys: Suggestions for a Bangladesh baseline :: IFPRI
Increasing understanding of nutrition and the changing nature of malnutrition have increased interest in diet quality. Owing largely to the apparent lack of national and sub-national level data about diet and diet quality, however, we have little knowledge about dietary patterns, and little understanding of how agriculture, trade, food industry and health policy may be used to improve diet quality. This paper reviews the growing use of household consumption and expenditure surveys (HCES)— multi-purpose surveys that are routinely conducted in roughly 120 countries—to address this dietary information gap.
Theoretically, increases in food prices could benefit the poor by increasing the demand for unskilled labor, and hence their wages. This paper tests this hypothesis in urban Ethiopia. We exploit a unique panel of monthly price and wage data from 111 urban markets to first construct welfare-relevant measures of real wages, before employing various panel estimators to formally test wage-food price integration. We find moderate rates of long-run adjustment to increases in food prices, but that adjustment is very slow. This implies highly adverse short-run welfare impacts of higher food prices on the urban poor.
Do higher food prices help or hinder poverty reduction? Despite much debate, existing research has almost solely relied on simulation models to address this question. In this article World Bank poverty estimates are used to systematically test the relationship between changes in poverty and exogenous changes in real domestic food prices. We uncover indicative evidence that increases in food prices are associated with reductions in poverty, not increases. We empirically explain this result in terms of relatively strong agricultural supply and wage responses to food price increases, and the fact that the majority of the world's poor still heavily rely on agriculture or agriculture-related activities to earn a living.
Validity of gestational age estimates by last menstrual period and neonatal examination compared to ultrasound in Vietnam :: IFPRI
Accurate estimation of gestational age is important for both clinical and public health purposes. Estimates of gestational age using fetal ultrasound measurements are considered most accurate but are frequently unavailable in low- and middle-income countries. The objective of this study was to assess the validity of last menstrual period and Farr neonatal examination estimates of gestational age, compared to ultrasound estimates, in a large cohort of women in Vietnam.

Gifts for the Purebreed Dog Lover
2019 Siberian Husky Calendars
Siberian Husky Calendars: This dog has a sweet nature and is a breed that is suited for the whole family, but does not make a good guard dog. They are very friendly, and generally get along well with children and other dogs. Gentle in character with a determined look, they are very people oriented dogs. The Siberian Husky was developed constantly in the presence of children, allowing them to be very used to family. Males have a tendency to roam and need to be kept in a fenced in area. If they get out it may be impossible to catch them on foot, as Huskies have been known to be excellent escape artists. Siberian Huskies are long lived, active, and outgoing with friends and family. They tend to be independent, not being very obedient, but are not a one-person dog. They enjoy all types of people. A member of the Spitz family, the Siberian Husky is strong and has the ability to haul heavy loads over long distances and rough terrain. Siberian Huskies will happily pull a young child in a wagon or sled. They have strong legs and a sturdy build, but lean enough to be quick. They have great endurance, with their medium sized compact bodies. They have medium length, straight and thick fur and they can have many different colors in the eyes. They can be blue, brown, one of each or even parti-colored. The nose color depends on the coat color, which can be any color, most often with markings on the head with the underbelly and face a lighter color than the rest. Siberian Huskies are not only magnificent looking, but magnificent in personality as well. Siberian Husky Calendars make great gifts.

Aurora is among grant winners for WWI plaque restoration
AURORA, Ill. (AP) _ A Chicago-based nonprofit organization has awarded grants for restoration of World War I monuments and memorials in Illinois.
Landmarks Illinois has announced that the City of Aurora and the Second Indianhead Division Association will receive monetary assistance.
Aurora plans to use the funding to restore a "Branches of Service" bronze plaque that's a tribute to soldiers. It has suffered weather corrosion and exposure to chemical compounds.
The other grant will go for the cleaning and restoration of a monument in the Cook County Forest Preserve in Des Plaines. It commemorates the three-week Battle of Belleau Wood of 1918.
The monument preservation program is backed by the Pritzker Military Foundation.
The next grant applications are due in November.

While the rewards of a career in medicine are very high, the training is very rigorous, and students often wonder what undergraduate course of study best prepares them for the trials of medical school. It turns out that either a major in chemistry or biology is strong preparation for this profession, so long as the aspiring doctor takes all the courses required to enter most medical schools.
Med School Prep
Typically, medical schools require applicants to have taken a year of general biology; a year to two years of advanced biology, including one year of human physiology, a course in microbiology, and a course in molecular biology; a year of chemistry; a year of organic chemistry; and at least one course in biochemistry.
The courses most helpful for taking the all-important MCAT are a year of advanced biology in human physiology. Many of the first-year academic courses in medical school focus on advanced biology, including gross anatomy, which draws from physiology; pathology, which draws on microbiology; and histology, which draws on molecular biology. However, first year medical students must also take a course in biochemistry, which draws on their experience in chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. Furthermore, an understanding of microbiology and molecular biology also requires a strong knowledge of biochemistry. In terms of coursework preparation, it is best to pursue a double major in biology and chemistry before med school.
Admission Statistics
Thirty-nine percent of all chemistry majors who apply to medical school are admitted, giving chemists a slight edge over biologists, who are admitted at the rate of 35 percent at the time of publication. However, the number of biology majors who apply to medical school is five times the number of hard science students who apply to medical school, comprising in total half of all applicants. The percentage of biochemists who are admitted to medical school is 43 percent, a number which makes another strong case for pursuing a double major in both biology and chemistry.
Medical Specialties
Depending on the actual type of medicine you practice in, a strong foundation in biology or chemistry might prove useful. For example, for someone hoping to be a surgeon or a podiatrist, the strong focus on anatomy, dissection and physiological systems in biology might prove more useful. On the other hand, for someone who wants to be a primary care physician or psychiatrist, understanding the chemical reactions between the body and different drugs and medical treatments is more helpful.
Career Options
If you're choosing a major for medical school, you might also want to check out the other career options available for a particular degree, since, as you learn more about the medical profession, you may discover it is not for you. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the demand for microbiologists, food scientists, biological technicians and environmental biologists will grow 10 to 19 percent by 2020, while the demand for wildlife biologists will grow only 6 percent. Meanwhile, the demand for chemists will grow a mere 4 percent. However, the demand for biochemists is expected to grow a whopping 31 percent, or "much faster than average," indicating that a dual degree in both biology and chemistry might be the wisest choice for future doctors.

Mott Community College, on the strength of a 29-10 run in the second half, blew out Kalamazoo Valley on Wednesday night in Flint, 91-58.
Both teams started off rusty after a delayed start to the game. After the sluggish start, the Bears simply overpowered KVCC. Mott (9-2) led by 30 midway through the second half paced by the play of sophomore guard Diandre Wilson.
"It was a pretty good second half but we just didn't have it at first," said Mott Head Coach Steve Schmidt to MRSN. "It was a good win. We just need one more and then we can enjoy Christmas."
The contest was the first of five consecutive home games for Mott in the next three weeks. The Bears must remain focused in preparation for the January 4 clash against unbeaten Oakland CC. The Raiders are the only team in Michigan the Bears are looking up at in the NJCAA national poll.
Wilson led all scorers with 22. Marcus Cole added 16 and Shawn Pardee 11.
The Bears will take on Mid Michigan CC at 3 pm Saturday at Ballenger Fieldhouse. Listen live on the Michigan Regional Sports Network.

BOYERTOWN >> People looking to get out of the house after some late winter snow days should attend the 12th Annual Boyertown Wellness Fair this weekend.
A moon bounce, door prizes and free Rita's Water Ice are just a few of the offerings that will be available at the fun-filled event. The Wellness Council of Boyertown organizes the annual affair and this year, they are partnering with the Boyertown Area Multi-Service.
The action begins 9:30 a.m. Saturday with the "Running of the Bears" competition between all the elementary schools in the district. The wellness fair will take place at Boyertown Junior High West School, 380 S. Madison St.
A kids celebrity chef competition is always a popular activity at the fair. Six student finalists will have samples of their healthy dish to be voted on by the community and several local well-known judges. The judges for the nutritious cook-off will include Boyertown Mayor Marianne Deery, state representatives, the school district's assistant superintendent and others representing local organizations.
The wellness event will also be the kickoff for several community programs.
Jill Vincent, executive director of the wellness council, said the Council on Chemical Abuse will give a short class at the wellness fair about how to quit tobacco products. She said an eight-week free program will begin at the Boyertown Area Multi-Service in April for anyone that wants to quit smoking. She said the program will provide patches and other tools to help people quit the addictive habit.
"It's about $400 worth of products that people can get free through a grant they (the Council on Chemical Abuse) received," she said.
As another kickoff, area first responders will do an obstacle course as a prelude to a program that will also begin in April through the Wellness Council of Boyertown.
"What's exciting is we just got a grant and some sponsorships from local businesses to help police, fireman and EMT get physically fit through nutrition, fitness and mental health," Vincent said.
People can play bingo and get some steps in at the same time during the wellness fair. The program is designed as an activity for seniors and their caregivers or families but anyone can join. After the kickoff on Saturday, the walking program will continue from April through December.
"It's just fun because seniors like to play bingo then we're adding walking to it," Vincent said.
Beginning at 10 a.m., the community will have the option to choose from several breakout sessions and fitness demonstrations to view. Fitness demos includes ones about karate, CrossFit and more. Breakout sessions will include education on healthy snacks, yoga, CPR and even how gratefulness is good for health.

Hi, my name is Andy, and I am a contributor and an advocate of the liver disease foundation. I have been committed to one of the programs since seven years ago. Seeing the poor and the needy individuals who are suffering from the disease are truly heartbreaking especially those who are at the critical stage.
I am also part of the spoke person that teaches health awareness to communities to where I will be assigned. As you continue to read my blogs, may it be helpful to you in knowing more about the liver disease. Should you have more concerns, I would love to read your messages provided at the Contact Us.
Run for a Cause, Liver Foundation
Being a part of advocacy creates a satisfying feeling because you can help people that need special health attention. This is also one way for you to be a part of either a non-profit organization or an organization that spreads health awareness of liver disease. To be able to raise money is through events that raise funds in order send the donations to different liver disease foundations and facilities.
Charities like these are the best option for you to extend your services to people who are suffering from liver diseases. You can choose programs that you can also become a sponsor.

Tips on Staying Healthy and Young
It's not a new trend that people want to have good health and be more youthful and stay as young as they can for as long as they can. It's an ages old aspiration to look and feel good, whether you are a man or a woman. There are many stories of eternal youth not only throughout history but also even in modern film and literature. The fountain of youth legends permeate many cultures throughout the world.
Tips for Living Healthier and Younger
The first tip we can provide is around eating well. It's been shown time and time again that a healthy diet can go a long way to keeping us both young and especially healthy. This has been shown in reference to certain cultures around the world, which are blessed with solid health and longevity. The Mediterranean is a region that has received a lot of attention in recent years due to exactly this result and the unique diet that they have. There was also a popular book with the title of "Blue Zones" that further detailed the special areas of the world, where people are especially long-lived and enjoy good health. It has been shown that having the proper amount and variety of nutrients sustains our body's cells and enables to not only be healthy and ward off diseases, but also to live to its full potential and constant recreate itself so that it doesn't otherwise prematurely age.
Speaking of premature aging, it's also been shown that how hard one lives can also significantly hasten how quickly one ages. Here we're referring to not only lack of nutrition, but more about the specific things we do or don't do for our bodies that affects our health and longevity. This category includes the use of drugs, excessive alcohol consumption, and tobacco use. So, a great way to stay healthy and young is to stay away from those things that will actively weaken you and damage your cells. What you can also do, just like practicing good nutrition, is to do those things that actually help your body rebuild and stay strong, such as getting a consistent night's sleep of 7 to 8 hours. Lack of sleep is a hugely significant negative factor in our overall health and longevity.
Finally, research has shown more and more that non-physical aspects such as positive attitude and maintaining a lower stress life are also factors in great health and staying young. Many people have a meditation or yoga practice these days as part of this. Generally being more mindful and slowing down one's life can have great results. Indulging in the frequent spa service or two can also be a great way to take care of your body and your mind. There are lots of great products out there to help in these areas, such as CBD oil. If you don't know much about this product, read a verified CBD oil review to better understand the product and the specific brands that can have benefit for you.
Important Facts about Liver Disease
The liver is mainly one of the major organs in the body. It is very meaty which sits at the right side of a person's belly. These weigh about 3lbs, and it is reddish-brown. This is rubbery to touch, and you can't normally feel the liver because this is protected by the ribcage.
The liver is divided into two sections which are called the left and right lobe. Mind you; the gallbladder also sits right under the liver where the pancreas and its intestines are located. These organs work together side by side to absorb, digest and process all the foods.
The purpose of the liver is to simply filter all the blood from the digestive tract before passing it to the circulatory system. It detoxifies chemicals and at the same time metabolizes drugs that have been taken in the body. The bile is the secretion of the liver that is stored in the intestines. Many conditions can be related to liver diseases. Keep in mind that if the liver is affected, the person is at risk and leads to death.
To know more about the liver disease, here are the following facts.
1. Obesity
Obese people are prone to have liver disease. This can be a form of genetics or derived from life vices such as drinking alcohol and the use of other drugs. If you are obese and you're taking pills that are not prescribed to your health may be a cause of liver disease. You will never know these medications can trigger an illness that you least expected to happen.
2. It can grow back.
Perhaps you're wondering why it can grow back? Well, this means that if you have a healthy liver, it can regenerate in times if it's damaged. So, this is why taking care of your liver regarding the food and drinks must be controlled to avoid any form of liver disease. Anything that hinders the liver from growing back or regenerating will cause life in danger.
3. Early stage of liver disease
There are manifestations of early signs of liver disease that you need to look out such as inflamed, tender and enlarged liver organ. If there is an inflammation that means your body is trying to fight infection or it is trying to heal from an injury. More so, if this does continue over a period, this can utterly start to cause pain.
4. Liver failure
As the liver tries to defend the body from infection or regenerates itself from the injury eventually, it gives up. So, this means that liver failure can be very life-threatening. This demands medical attention, and it is considered as an urgent situation. First symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. Often, it's hard to detect a liver that's failing which is why you need to consult a doctor.
5. If its damaged, life is threatened
Whatever means that the liver is damaged whether due to the virus, chemicals or its immune system is under attacked it will lead to a critical stage. If this is severely damaged, it will no longer work and eventually won't keep you alive as well.
In conclusion, knowing that you have liver disease, it is important to seek a doctor's consultation. You must understand that your health is essential to living accordingly. You can also be a part of a liver disease program or foundation that helps spread the awareness about liver disease.
Being exposed to illnesses like liver disease has a tendency to make people starting thinking proactively about their health. Always good measures to take are to have a healthy diet, get regular exercise, and be careful about excessive drinking of alcohol. A great way to get exercise and not even leave the house and have fun at the same time is some indoor games such as foosball.

There are at least 2 artists named Jack Lawrence.
1. Jack Lawrence (April 7, 1912 – March 15, 2009) was an American Academy Award-nominated songwriter. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1975.
Lawrence was born in Brooklyn, New York to an Orthodox Jewish family. He wrote songs while still a child, but because of parental pressure went to school to study podiatry. He got his doctoral degree in 1932, the same year that his first song was published, and immediately decided that songwriting, rather than podiatry, would be his career. That song, "Play, Fiddle, Play," won international fame and he became a member of ASCAP that year at only 20.
"Yes, My Darling Daughter," introduced by Dinah Shore on Eddie Cantor's radio program, was Shore's first record. Another Jack Lawrence song that introduced a new artist was "If I Didn't Care," which introduced the world to The Ink Spots. And, although Frank Sinatra was already a well-known big band singer, Lawrence's "All or Nothing at All" was Sinatra's first solo hit.
Lawrence also wrote the lyrics for "Tenderly," Rosemary Clooney's trademark song (in collaboration with composer Walter Lloyd Gross), as well as the English language lyric to "Beyond the Sea" (based on Charles Trenet's French language song "La mer"), the trademark song for Bobby Darin. Another French song for which Lawrence wrote an English lyric was "La goualante de pauvre Jean," becoming "The Poor People of Paris."
Together with Richard Myers he wrote "Hold My Hand," which was nominated for the 1954 Academy Award for Best Song.
2. "Little" Jack Lawrence is a musician from Northern Kentucky. He plays bass, guitar, banjo, autoharp, mandolin, drums, and piano, accordion, and the clarinet.
He is currently a member of three bands:
The Greenhornes — a garage rock trio from Cincinnati (bass, vocals). Lawrence has been playing with them since the band's inception in the mid-90's.
Blanche — from Detroit (banjo, autoharp, mandolin, bass, vocals), since the summer of 2004. Lawrence and Blanche's other members have stated that he will not leave Blanche due to The Raconteurs' overwhelming popularity. Blanche plans on releasing an EP this October and a full-lengthed album in early 2007, with much touring.
The Raconteurs — (bass, vocals), a Nashville-based band comprised of Brendan Benson, Jack White, and Patrick Keeler. The Raconteurs came together in the summer of 2004 but debuted in early 2006. The band has been touring North America and Europe since March of 2006, and are most commonly known for their hit single, Steady As She Goes.
Lawrence has also worked on several side projects, including playing bass on Loretta Lynn's 2004 album, Van Lear Rose. The album's backing band was put together and led by Jack White of The White Stripes and dubbed the Do-Whaters. The band also included Lawrence's fellow Greenhorne and Raconteur drummer Patrick Keeler, as well as his fellow Blanche member, pedal steel player Dave Feeny. Lawrence is working with Karen O (of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) on her upcoming solo album. Read more on Last.fm.

RBMC Hits 500 Posts!
I threw together a quick video the other night in celebration of the Rust Belt Monsters hitting their 500th post. I really can't believe we have posted that much content, but why would Blogger lie? I mean, really.
As far as the video, it was nice to open up After Effects again. I just used a couple of standard tricks, toyed with some old settings, and once again grew frustrated with the "judder" that tends to happen. Maybe its a frame rate thing. Who knows?
Anyways, I know I've been a little neglectful of the blog lately. I'll throw up a couple of inspirational type things that I've been enjoying lately. Should have some new coming up soon too. Business is picking up.

That Casual Dress
I love the simplicity of this dress! It's so comfortable. The length is perfect for work and can be dressed up with a blazer or down like I did with a jean jacket.
Wow what a crazy weekend with Hurricane Matthew!
Luckily it hit on Saturday and I was sick. So I stayed in my PJ's and bed cuddling with my two cats. Yup both cats were finally getting along (i.e. the kitten didn't attack our older girl and let her sleep). Sucky part about being sick is my husband was climbing the walls bored. He actually called some guy friends to see what they were doing. lol
Luckily I got some energy to cook or we might not have eaten. My poor husband is a terrible cook. He adds way too much salt.
Even though I wrote the blog post about organization and balancing things for school I am sadly falling behind. My business class is insane! We have to research a topic and write 600+ words on it with no less than 3 peer reviewed articles on even weeks. Then on odd weeks we have to reply to 3 classmates by researching their writings and finding our own article to quote. Whew. I'm tired just writing what has to be done and that didn't even cover the readings and tests. Thank goodness weekends are 2 days!!

In education, learning about one topic has a ripple effect across all spheres of knowledge.
As advocates of unschooling, we don't push students to learn specific subjects separately from each other. The underlying assumption in unschooling is that nothing exists in a vacuum, and when you set out to learn one thing you end up learning many different "subjects" along the way. One of our students was learning about Geography and along with studying where in the world things are, she also studied what is happening in those places. Here is what she had to say about what she learned along the way.
"In Geography, one of the topics I covered was global phenomena and it dealt with a variety of things such as the plight of refugees. This brought to my attention how many refugees there are here and across the world seeking a safe place to live. This made me realize how grateful I am for having a place to call my home. Irrespective of what culture, race, or country we come from, we all want the same things in life like safety, love and acceptance. This made me think that all current affairs around the world have a ripple effect, like throwing a pebble in a pond. If something happens in one country, although it is far away from your own country, you may still be affected by it."
For a teenager to view current affairs worldwide as having a ripple effect that eventually effects her is an incredible insight to have. She learned so much more than where a country is in the world, or any other bland facts about it. She really delved into what is going on with people in other places. Even when the situations there aren't very pretty.
She's had a profound realization of unity in the world. Everywhere in the world, people want the same basic things. Perhaps that realization will also lead to an understanding that what she herself does also has a ripple effect around the world. As Mother Theresa said "I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples."

Malikhi Lowery, a student at Forest Hunt Elementary, will be traveling to Las Vegas, Nevada, to race in the upcoming AMA Monster Energy Supercross on Saturday, October, 14th. The supercross is described as, "a breathtaking exhibition of motorcycle action sports entertainment at its best. As an FIM World Championship event, this Supercross series represents some of the most exciting motorcycle racing in recent history. The teams total up to 57 fast-paced, fearless riders who must be seen to be believed."
Malikhi started riding when he was very young. Justin Lowery, Malikhi's father says, "He started riding at 2 years old on a Honda 50 with training wheels. He started racing at 4 years old on the same Honda 50. His first race was at Palmetto Motorsports Park in Gaston, SC. Locally, he races at Cathey's Creek Motocross Park off Whitesides Road. He started on his own," Justin continued, "and I ran along beside him everywhere he went. We went through a few stressful times with him holding the throttle wide open, almost running into the woods. Another was when he first went to a KTM and it scared him, but, I've always been tough on him and never ever let him quit nor give up. I've always pushed him to keep going, no matter what.... you always push until you see the checkered flag. That's what you do as a racer. Once he got about 4-5 yrs old I bought a Honda 110, and that's how he and I would 'battle' when we went to practice. I accidentally ran over him twice when we were battling and he went down in front of me. We've gone through our share of incidents," says Justin with a chuckle.
Young Malikhi has raced in several states including Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Virgina, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and now will be adding Las Vegas, Nevada to that list.
"Malikhi has also qualified for the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur Nationals Championship three times since he was 5 years old." According to Justin, "That's the largest amateur national motorcross event in the US that riders from all over the nation attempt to qualify for. Only 42 riders per class are eligible to go and they have to finish in a top 6 position at the regionals. Held annually at the Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN, this racing venue is just outside of Nashville. Malikhi has qualified to go to this national event 3 times since he was 5 years old. He was sick last year and that prevented us from attending the regionals, but he went there at age 5 and 6 and this year at age 8. It's an honor itself just to qualify for this particular event. There were 54 riders at our regional in FL and NJ and to be a top 6 finisher out of that many riders is an accomplishment in itself."
When he's not racing, Malikhi enjoys riding bikes and scooters, and playing soccer. When asked who inspires him, Malikhi said, "My Daddy inspires me... and my heroes are my Paw Paw Jimmy, Maw Maw Kim and Papa John." His mother is Summer Martinez and his grandparents are Jimmy Lowery, Kim and John Hammonds, and Sondra and George Martinez. His brother is Madix Zane.
To show some support for this talented young man, tune into Fox Sports 2, October 14th to watch Malikhi racing his heart out on his 2017 Cobra 50 FWE and his 2016 KTM 65. Following the Vegas race, Malikhi and his family plan to go to Florida for the Mini Olympics which are scheduled during Thanksgiving week.
Congratulations Malikhi, on an amazing racing career. All of Rutherford County wishes you a great race and a Happy Birthday!

London: Kristen Stewart loves having roast dinner and a pint of beer at a traditional British pub.
The American actress, who is dating "Twilight Saga" co-star Robert Pattinson, enjoys spending time in Britain because she can go out in public without being bothered, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"In Los Angeles, you have to be fairly selective about where you go, but I`m so fine here. It`s similar to New York, in that people are doing their own thing and they feel like they`re probably cooler than you, so I tend to be able to get around very easily," she said.
"I`m a huge Guinness (beer brand) fan and I`ve had some really good roast dinners. I prefer old-man pubs," she added.

News and other information
Like most businesses we like to present some examples of what we have done. Also occasionally we will publish short articles of what we see as important issues that have an impact on our work and, more importantly, our clients.
It is also a showcase for the way in which we work. In this case there is only one page of News or Blog pieces that are presented six at a time. Instead of using standard pagination, we have tried different methods. Many sites are set to show'infinite scroll', especially social media applications, so when you scroll down the next six are ready to be presented. As you reach the bottom of the page the next six should automatically load. If you are using an old browser it may not happen!! Sorry.
Actually, we prefer a big button at the bottom of the page that says 'Load More' that can be seen below.
We also restrict ourselves to keeping about the latest twenty posts. There seems little point in keeping anything ealier than that or developing a huge archive that no one reads.
