The Best Healthy Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Over Memorial Day weekend I decided to tackle a gardening project last minute. I DO NOT have a green thumb whatsoever, so I didn't expect much. Well about a month later as I was watering the garden I noticed four giant zucchini were ready.. with a few more flowering. This past month I've been on the hunt to find all the best zucchini recipes, but they have to be toddler approved! I came across chocolate zucchini bread. It's a simple recipe that is easy to make, and you can even bake them in little muffin tins instead of a loaf. What I like about this recipe is it uses whole wheat flour, unsweetened almond milk, ripe bananas, and of course chocolate chips!

- 1 1/4 whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1/3 cup honey or agave
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 cup shredded zucchini
- 1 mashed ripe banana
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray nonstick cooking spray on the bottom and all around the sides of your loaf pan (or muffin liners if you are going that route).
- Shred your zucchini and squeeze out excess water with a towel or paper towel.
- In a medium bowl whisk whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda.
- In a larger bowl add melted coconut oil, egg, honey, vanilla, almond milk and whisk until well combined. Fold in zucchini, mashed banana, and chocolate chips.
- Slowly combine dry ingredients into the wet bowl.
- Spread into greased bread pan or muffin liners.
- Bake 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- When baking try using mashed banana or applesauce in place of oils.
- Honey isn't a refined sugar and keeps the bread nice and soft. Agave nectar and coconut sugar are another great substitute.
- Shredded zucchini gets veggies into your little ones without them realizing it. It also helps keep the bread moist.
- Replace white flour with whole wheat in order to add up to 10g heart healthy fiber.

Mangaluru, May 10, 2016: Speaking after receiving the Veerarani Abbakka Award during the valediction of Veerarani Abbakka Utsava by the Department of Kannada and Culture at Kallapu in Thokkottu recently.
Writer and researcher B M Rohini reiterated that Abbakka symbolises Tulunadu's self-respect. There is no information on Abbakka in Tulu folklore; there are very few records related to her. It is unfortunate that historians have forgotten about Abbakka. The government should give more attention towards procuring the documents towards research on Abbakka," Study is required on the records on Abbakka, preserved in the archives of Portugal, she said.
Actor Harini and international sportsperson Lalita Jayaram were honoured with Veerarani Abbakka Puraskara.
Conferring the award and honours, MP Nalin Kumar Kateel said that efforts are on to celebrate Abbakka Utsava as a state-level fest. The government needs to include Abbakka's life in school syllabus, he opined.
MLC Capt Ganesh Karnik, who delivered the valedictory address, said that Abbakka was an epitome of self respect and patriotism. ZP president Meenakshi Shantigodu presided over the programme.
A very poor attendance was witnessed on both days of the fest. The orchestra in the evening witnessed four people. Abbakka Utsava Committee working president Dinaker Ullal said that as it was the first programme soon after the lifting of prohibitory orders in Ullal - imposed due to some untoward incidents recently - the people hesitated to turn up at the event and the hot weather too was a factor may be.

Is anywhere safe for Africa's forest elephants? Apparently not, according to a recent study published in Current Biology by Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Elephant Listening Project, Colorado State University and Save the Elephants.
Over the last decade, scientists have calculated the number of forest elephants in Gabon's Minkebe Park, one of the species' last strongholds. For years, conservationists were convinced that the elephants would be protected and thrive in the wilderness of the park. They believed the forest elephants would be almost immune to poachers. Unfortunately, the new data suggests that the park is anything but safe for its elephants – and as researchers dig deeper, the conservation of Africa's forest elephants seems bleaker.
25,000 Lost Lives in Just Over a Decade
According to their analysis, more than 25,000 forest elephants were killed between 2004 and 2014. That's a drop of 80 percent in the last decade! As great as the Minkebe Park is, with its large landscapes and remote location, elephants are still in grave danger of being slaughtered by poachers for their tusks.
"With less than 100,000 elephants across all of Central Africa, the subspecies is in danger of extinction if governments and conservation agencies do not act fast," said John Poulsen of Duke University and the Agence Nationale des Parcs Nationaux in Gabon. "We can no longer assume that apparently large and remote protected areas will conserve species–poachers will go anywhere that a profit can be made."
Established in 2002, Minkebe National Park served as a 7570 square kilometer safe haven for elephants to protect them from poachers. "It had the highest density of elephants in Central Africa and was very hard to get to," said John Poulsen, a co-author of the new study.
Gabon is home to nearly half the population of forest elephants in Central Africa and regardless of the steps conservationists have taken to protect them, poachers are still able to find the elephants – and kill them.
Why We Need Forest Elephants in the World
As mesmerizing as they are, forest elephants are more than just beautiful. They play a fundamental role in protecting the forests balance, known as the ecosystem's engineers. As explained in an article on Care2, researchers are unable to specify exactly the impact their loss would have on the area, but what they are sure of is that when the forest elephants go, so will the trees.
Forest elephants play two prime roles for trees. They roam over vast areas of land, dispersing seeds for miles via their dung. Thanks to an elephant's stomach acids, the ingested seeds are softened and able to germinate at a much faster pace.
A study of the impact of elephants on tree populations published Proceedings of the Royal Society B cited this phenomenon in Thai forests. According to researcher Trevor Caughlin, trees produce millions of seeds and only one of them needs to successfully make it into the ground for a new sapling to grow. Elephants help increase the likelihood that the seeds will germinate and further, they were able to find that the method of dispersal played a great role in the future health of the tree. Looking at tree data from an area in Thailand where elephant populations used to number in the 100,000s, and have now been reduced down to around 2,000, they were able to see a difference in seeds spread before and after elephants – and the trees fared much better in the presence of animals.
Unfortunately, it's not just the trees that suffer from elephant loss, many other animals rely on those very trees for their own survival. Effectively, losing elephants would cause a trophic cascade, meaning a reduction in overall biodiversity.
What Conservationists Are Doing to Help
From cross-border law enforcement measures to calling on the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora to categorize forest elephants as a critically endangered species, conservationists are doing everything they can to protect forest elephants. Right now, African elephants are only listed as a threatened species in the United States. If they were listed as a critically endangered species, they would receive more protection. After all, they need as much protection as they can get.
"As long as some countries persist in their 'right' to trade in ivory, there will be cross-border poaching," said Phyllis C. Lee, an animal behaviorist at the University of Stirling in the United Kingdom. "That's clear for all to see now."
How You Can Help
It's easy to feel somewhat hopeless when you hear news like this. But it's up to us to stand up for these animals who cannot defend themselves. You can help by, firstly, never purchasing items that are made with elephant ivory. The illegal trade is fuelling the destruction of hundreds of African elephants, daily. Further, you can help by sponsoring an African forest elephant through World Wildlife Fund.
Lastly, be sure to share this post! We can't help save an animal that no one knows is in danger, so spread the word and encourage others to as well.

Baro who wrote eight of these tunes, ropes in the past to add dimension. This bodes well on "Hasta Cunado, where the flighty Latin air wafts around the bop modes that fly from Jeff Bornes' tenor. Baro, who calls Dizzy Gillespie one of his influences, manifests Dizzy's approach in his playing, reaching out and hitting the high notes but keeping it all under control. He achieves an emotionally compact mood on "Like Spring's Drop, essaying the ballad with soulful and endearing power. His band is emphatically sublime; Jeff King keeps the embers aflame, his tenor moody yet passionate.
Baro pares it down to just himself and percussionist Joaquin Hidalgo, with Alberto Alberto and Jose "Papo Gonzales on vocals, for the sprightly "Tan Lejos. The singers are hoarse, but that seems to be the intent, as they fit in so well and add to the delight. Expectedly, "Footprints is given a Latin treatment, treading in softly on congas that get more pronounced and vibrant before they swirl around and get Baro to investigate. He splits the melody open, carves out some high notes, and even blitzes some fast ones. But even in the eye of the storm, he ferments some good ideas, leaving the leavening to Bornes and to Luis Guerra, whose turn on the piano cascades with percussive ebullience to lighten the mood and bring in a nice balance.

Lawyers are made; they are not merely born to be in such profession.
What we want to settle here is: are lawyers predetermined beings right from the start or are they developed by their environment. Would an unconditioned gene survive the path where it ought not to take? Or is there really such restriction that pervades the human system? My stand is in the negative.
Lawyers like doctors, musicians, artists are not, right at birth, destined to take the fields they belong to. They are molded by their environment in the course of their development so that they, as human beings, choose the path where their social consciousness dictates them to take. These social imperatives are more likely to manifest in the law profession.
Ask a law student about the reasons why he chose the field and I am hundred percent sure that he would not answer that it is because his genes are programmed for a lawyer. Law students, those who are really motivated by their ideals, would likely cite reasons pertaining to social order: the improvement of the present justice system; to bring justice to the marginalized sectors or at least make money in the profession.
It is well settled in psychology that nature or the environment has the biggest impact in the development of children. Many studies have shown that the biological factors bring in less impact to child development as opposed to the role of environment. One notable breakthrough in the field of psychology is the concept of emotional intelligence proposed by David Goleman. Emotional intelligence is an overhaul in the age-old thinking that intelligence does not have a relationship with the affect side of the human being. As opposed to conventional intelligence, EQ is not innate; it is developed. EQ is a product of the social environment where a person grew with. EQ, as Goleman asserts, is more likely to be determinative of the success or failure of a child in the future.
How can you say that intelligence would suffice? Disregarding the fact that abnormalities come out like that of a person who has low IQ, intelligence even average for that matter, rely on the quality of environment which is either facilitating or neglecting. An illustrative case, for example, is an 11-year-old juvenile delinquent, who spent his crucial developmental stage in prison. Would this child, in your opinion, even if he has the innate intelligence, grow up as an intelligent person in its truest sense? Compare the child to one that has a nurturing family, would it be the same even if he has only an average IQ? Common sense would dictate us that a difference between the two children's potential in the future is manifest. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that a bad environment also develops resilience so that in certain cases intelligence flourishes alongside personal strength. Van Gogh never had facilitating childhood experiences, but his craft was honed.
In the 17th century the French philosopher René Descartes set out views which held that people possess certain inborn ideas that enduringly underpin people's approach to the world. The British philosophers Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, on the other hand, took a more empirical approach emphasizing the role of experience as fully contributing to behavioral development. It is Hobbes and Locke's views that find acceptance in many scholars. You can find the evidence in persons who are acculturated by a different societal framework. Now you can see Filipinos acting and behaving like Americans but, of course, never Americans acting and behaving like Filipinos except in exceptional circumstances.
On a side note, I want to share a joke on lawyers: A man went to a brain store to get some brain to complete a study. He sees a sign remarking on the quality of professional brain offered at this particular brain store. He begins to question the butcher about the cost of these brains." How much does it cost for engineer brain?, asked the man "Three dollars an ounce, answered the butcher." "How much does it cost for programmer brain?." "Four dollars an ounce." How much for lawyer brain?" "$1,000 an ounce."
The man cannot accept the price so he went to ask: "Why is lawyer brain so much more?" The butcher proudly answered: "Do you know how many lawyers we had to kill to get one ounce of brain?"
Lawyers are indeed created and destructed by their environment. It is not intelligence, per se, that would determine judicious and fair judgment that lawyers must embody in their ideals. Intelligence is mechanical and robotic. Let alone, intelligence will muster over the ends of justice.
True lawyers are brought into the world, not by the order of nature but by the impinging concerns that slowly kill the society.

Now I am getting deeper into the second rank, and that means some of the standing figures. There's a bit of a difference in the armor, so some changes in the approach to the SE-NMM will be necessary.
This is a little more practice in this technique before I develop the NMM DVD's using those Urban Mammoth figures.
Here are some views of how he fits with the unit as a whole...
At this stage, it is nice to see how the bases are starting to mesh with the movement tray.
I had to do the movement tray colors "blind" in a manner of speaking, making assumptions on what each part of the tray would look like (the individual bases) before they were ever painted.
This is where the shaded basecoat method helps. I took the same lighter colors, and then tinted and shaded them all darker with glazes. This meant that I could color match by sight, instead of relying on pre-set color mixes that I could either forget, or run out of the colors themselves...
More to come!!!


text: The thesis work content is to evaluate the use of more advanced turbulence models available in the ANSYS CFX software for aerodynamic calculations. In particular for flows over airfoils with thick trailing edges, the turbulence modeling is challenging to traditional methods, as both thin boundary layers as well as an unsteady wake needs to be well represented. This is done by using the standard SST and then performing unsteady computations using the more advanced unsteady SAS-SST model to get the relevant CFD results. By comparing to tests performed at GKN and results from literature the improvement could be assessed in terms of modeling quality and computational cost. The results presented give a good contribution to how the modeling of unsteady wakes can be improved and used for design purposes.

The branding of District House
Ranquist Development Group and Campbell Coyle understand the importance of a cohesive brand. The District House brand reflects nearly a year of collaboration with the Oak Park community. The project reflects a shared and intentional vision for a modern, sophisticated and simple living concept for Oak Park. It celebrates the return of design to a community known for architectural innovation. The architectural design reflects a bold vision for Oak Park's future.
When it comes to real estate, branding allows buyers to navigate through different styles and make decisions based upon values. For District House, these values are reflected in the architectural design, locational connectivity, the open floor plans and a clean, modern aesthetic. For District House, Ranquist and Campbell Coyle selected noted strategic creative studio, Otherwise Incorporated to develop the project's creative brand. See more of Otherwise Incorporated's latest work here.
The design of the logo draws reference to the modern style of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture. In addition, the overlapping letters are a nod to the prairie style patterns found throughout the Village of Oak Park.
The font, GT Walsheim, was inspired by the lettering of Swiss poster designer legend Otto Baumberger from the 1930s. Designed by Noël Leu, the font gives the project a contemporary feel, while also referencing geometric elegance and sharp corners of the architecture of the project. Similarly, District House looks to the future with its design forward aesthetic, while drawing inspiration from Oak Park's important architectural legacy.
Marketing materials for the project were developed through a collaboration between Otherwise Incorporated and Ranquist's in-house designer, Alex Gilbert. The samples above are a combination of print and online materials exhibiting the branding elements designed by Otherwise Incorporated.

NEW YORK — Two city councilmen were among more than a dozen people arrested at a Thursday rally for an immigration rights activist who'd been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Council members Jumaane Williams (D-Brooklyn) and Ydanis Rodriguez (D-Manhattan) were out in support of Ravi Ragbir, an undocumented immigrant and executive director of the New Sanctuary Coalition of New York City, during their arrest. Sixteen other people were taken into custody.
Ragbir was detained by ICE during a routine check-in with officials.
"They are retaliating against people who dare to say this is a bad system, and Ravi dared to say this is a bad system," Ragbir's wife Amy Gottlieb said.
He was removed in an ambulance after his detention by ICE, according to Williams.
Many of the people arrested were trying to block the ambulance from taking Ragbir away. More than 100 activists and politicians were at the rally.
Rodriguez accused the NYPD of putting him into a chokehold during his arrest.
"This is NOT how you treat people who are protesting for Human Rights," a staffer tweeted on his behalf. "This is NOT what democracy looks like."
The area is covered extensively by cameras the NYPD will be reviewing surveillance footage to determine what exactly happened, officials said.
New Council Speaker Corey Johnson was also at the rally. He called the actions of NYPD officers and ICE agents "aggressive" and "inappropriate."
Ragbir will remain in custody and be removed to Trinidad, an ICE spokesperson said.
"Over the last 12 years, Mr. Ragbir's immigration case has undergone extensive judicial review at multiple levels of the nation's judicial system, including both immigration courts and federal appeals courts," the spokesperson said. "He has since exhausted his petitions and appeals through the immigration courts, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and the U.S. District Court."
Ragbir's attorney, Alina Das, noted that immigration officials have always had the discretion to do this, but the administration change has contributed to the ICE activity.
"Even though politics are different now, it's in everyone's interest for people like Ravi to be here in our communities," Das said.
Williams, after he was released from custody, said that Ragbir improves New York.
"Our orange man in the White House claims that he's getting rid of violent murders and rapists and things of that nature. But he's not," Williams said. "He's getting rid of the Ravi Ragbirs of the world who are making our city better."

Group plans Phoenix-area event featuring Yiannopoulos
PHOENIX (AP) — A group founded to promote constitutional principles is planning an event in Phoenix area featuring right-wing firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos (MY'-loh yuh-NAH'-poh-lihs).
The location of the symposium scheduled for Saturday by the United Liberty Coalition is being withheld until 48 hours before the event. A charity dinner is set for Friday. Coalition co-founder Shelby Busch says that's for security reasons.
Busch say the event is the second free-speech event the group organized since she founded it with her partner a year ago. The symposium will be held west of Interstate 17. Other scheduled speakers include a pastor who has been a surrogate for President Donald Trump and a conservative talk radio host.
Yiannopoulos events have drawn protesters. He's angered everyone from liberals to the alt-right with his controversial comments.

Automated kiosks at airports are a fast and easy way to check-in, but kindly ensure that you concentrate when completing the process.
Having used the kiosks many times before and in an effort to impresAutomated s the rookies behind me with my jet-setting prowess, I whizzed my way through the procedure…until the red light began to flash, a warning box popped-up on the screen, the computer shut-down, and I was instructed to speak to an airline representative immediately. I gathered my documents and sheepishly headed for the counter.
The airline agent and his security guard assistant surveyed me warily, before coolly and cautiously demanding to know what explosives I was carrying.
Apparently, in my over-confident haste, I had inadvertently declared that I was carrying dangerous goods. I fortunately avoided the strip search and free trip to Guantanamo and was eventually able to convince them of my innocence and my error, and permitted to check-in.
I am now the person who uses the terminals extremely slowly and reads each and every word by following it across the screen with my fingertip, reading out loud letter-by-letter, line-by-line.

WEIRDOS (Buy CDs by this artist)
Who? What? When? Where? Why? EP (Bomp!) 1979
Action Design EP (Rhino) 1980
Condor (Frontier) 1990
Weird World 1977-1981 Time Capsule Volume One (Frontier) 1991
The Weirdos were arguably the first and best entrant in late-'70s Los Angeles punk. The crunching powerhouse wallop of "Destroy All Music" (the band's first 45) and the incendiary "(We've Got the) Neutron Bomb" classic US punk singles provided a convincing reply to those who dismissed the efforts of Southern California youth in 1977. Unfortunately, the original quintet splintered before the Weirdos began making longer records, leaving the Denney brothers (singer John and guitarist Dix) and guitarist Cliff Roman to carry on, employing various sidemen with stellar but less poignant results.
With ex-Quick (later Three O'Clock, etc.) drummer Danny Benair, the six-song Who? What? When? Where? Why? is an appealing blend of punk, psychobilly (a bizarre cover of Hank Mizzel's '50s obscurity, "Jungle Rock") and gonzo rock with unsettling lyrics.
Action Design adds only four selections to the Weirdos' oeuvre (including a pedestrian rendition of the Doors' "Break on Through"), but "The Hideout" finds the Denneys at their most sinister, offering a lowriders' invitation to dark places. The silly "Helium Bar" is a frantically irreverent pogothon.
Although the Weirdos split soon after, the group never completely vanished. They did reunion shows throughout the '80s and made semi-regular home recordings. In '88, the Denneys formally relaunched the Weirdos. The all-new Condor features original drummer Nickey Beat (Alexander) and Cliff Roman in a part-time role, playing a bit of synthesizer and sharing bass chores with Flea (on loan from the Red Hot Chili Peppers). This inconsistent LP suffers from the long layoff, but the old flair for mildly subversive rock surfaces on such head-rushing hyper-punk zaniness as "Cyclops Helicopter" and the more conventional "Shining Silver Light."
Weird World is a compilation of early 45s, demos and other unreleased items.[Jack Rabid]

Get back into uni with ease
After a long summer of endless days at the beach, countless nights living large, and fewer worries than Bob Marley, getting back into the rhythm of university life can be deflating and a little bit daunting. Luckily, REIZE is here for you, and with the help of our best tips, you'll wonder why you were ever troubled in the first place.
- Get Ahead Early
Depending on the subject, you'll probably have access to the syllabus for all your classes a couple of weeks beforehand. Take an hour or so at some point just to go through your syllabi (yes, that's a word), so that you're not going into your classes blind. Try and get a grasp on the overall direction of the subject area early to anticipate what's coming in the next few months.
- Escape the Crowds
On a similar note, those who leave getting all their books and supplies until after uni has started inevitably find themselves in the swarm of humanity that inhabits university book stores during the first week back. If you can, try and get in the week before to avoid the queues and disappointment. Watching someone else take that last copy of Intro to Psychology is the last thing you need right before your first class
- Sort Out Your Sleep
Although sleeping in til midday and staying up until the wee hours of the morning doesn't affect you so much during summer, those 8am classes, and general real-life responsibilities aren't going to allow for that same sleep-in. Try and set a schedule where you're able to go to bed every night and wake up every morning at the same times as often as possible. Make every effort to get 7-9 hours sleep per night, to avoid that zombie-like, early-morning malaise so many get caught up in.
- Don't Beat Yourself Up
As great as it would be to be the model student that many of us promise ourselves we will be, it's important not to fall victim to unrealistic expectations. While being on top of every reading, making every class and getting perfect marks are fantastic things to aim for, take it easy on yourself if you fall short once every so often. Getting knocked down occasionally is okay, as long as you don't let it keep you down.
REIZE to the challenge, fuel up, and study early Study after study after study has shown that while cramming might work short-term, you're only hurting yourself in the bigger picture. It's key to be hitting those study sessions from day one, and to ensure that you're properly switched on for every session by being properly fuelled. By drinking REIZE before a session, you can boost your energy levels and improve your focus, ensuring that time is spent effectively and efficiently, and that not a second with your nose in the textbooks is wasted.

The digitization of individual medical records, application of exponential health technologies and proliferation of unstructured, web-based information are generating giant volumes of heterogeneous medical and public health data. Our team works with clients to understand their data analytics and visualization needs, and provides data-driven insights with an aim to improve clinical and population health outcomes.
Evidence Generation & Synthesis
The hierarchy of evidence is a core principal of evidence-based clinical and public health practice. EBP hierarchies rank study types based on the rigour (strength and precision) of their research methods. Our team applies deep expertise in epidemiological, informatics and computational methodologies towards understanding the efficacy and effectiveness of health interventions. Our in-house team and research associates work to structure, analyse and visualize your real-world data using the following techniques:
Scoping reviews
Observational cohort design, implementation and analysis
Randomized Controlled Trials
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
Network meta-analyses
Cost-effectiveness studies
Cost-benefit studies
Demographic and mathematical projection modelling
St. Paul's Hospital
In partnership with researchers and with ethics review board approval from the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University, our team led investigations into the social determinants of health on clinical outcomes in provincial, national and international cohorts, with over 50 published manuscripts in high-impact peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Our team has designed and implemented hundreds of studies on social determinants of health in provincial, national and international cohorts. These studies have followed research ethics board (REB) approval processes within top-tier universities across North America, Europe and Australia. Our research has focused on global health topics including infectious diseases (HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, pandemic outbreaks, water-borne disease), addictions, mental health, food security and non-communicable diseases.
Big Data Analytics & Visualization
Public health informatics are key to analyzing heterogeneous Big Data from multiple sources including medical devices and mobile Internet of Things (MIoT), clinical settings (providers) and citizens within communities.
Our team uses cutting edge analytics and visuals to make health data intuitive yet rigorous for decision-making. We apply machine learning and natural language processing to help clients make sense of the behaviors of large populations or human systems and to forecast systemic shocks or changes more effectively at large scale. We specialize in designing Big Data analytic systems with bi-directional data from digital sensors, wearable devices, social media portals, mobile phone SMS, and other similar sources.
Our Big Data analytics and visualization projects involve:
Design and implement disparate data aggregation systems
Bayesian statistics algorithms to filter data
Machine learning and natural language processing
Data visualization and user-centered report auto-generation
IBM Cognitive Labs
Cognitive, artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics solutions enable companies to derive new insights from their data to answer the toughest business questions, uncover patterns and pursue breakthrough ideas. Our team worked with IBM Cognitive Labs and service capabilities include advising clients on efficient data acquisition and capture, data placement and storage at scale, and the design and deployment of compute infrastructure for machine learning, big data and analytics.
Boston Children's Hospital
Digital aggregation and visualization of informal data sources is a cornerstone of modern-day early warning signal detection of emerging health threats. Our team supported the development and implementation of enhancements to a State-wide emergency alert system. Our team migrated the existing application and database to Amazon Web Services; enhanced data feeds to include situational information relevant to health (infectious disease outbreaks, weather hazards, infrastructure problems); and upgrade front-end UI and alerting system.
Booz Allen Hamilton
Global Health PX supported Booz Allen Hamilton in the design and development of a novel biosurveillance tool for early warning signal detection of pharmaceutical and food supply chain risks. The project aligned with the FDA Advancing Regulatory Science Plan's priority area #5 Harness Diverse Data Through Information Sciences to Improve Health Outcomes. Harnessing Big Data from Chinese language digital media sources, such as Baidu and Sina Weibo, we supported the development of semi-automated approach for real-time detection of consumer-reported microbial and chemical food and drug contamination. The final product, known as SupplyChainMap was adopted and fully integrated into FDA's Office of International Programs to enhance regulatory oversight and safety of drug and food imports into the U.S.
City of Melbourne
Our team worked with the City of Melbourne to combine disparate data form healthcare, public health and community settings, and create a platform for integrated, real-time analytics decision-making by government stakeholders. The project involved building mobile citizen apps for voluntary data submission, and piping formal and informal data back into the platform for bi-directional visualizations. Key indicators collected included primary, secondary and tertiary health service utilization, waste management and health mobility. Partnerships with local technology providers further enabled broad-based scale and adoption of the platform, which continues to be used today by government decision-makers and citizens alike.
Torrens University Australia
Our team has initiated a collaboration with Torrens University Australia (Laureate Global Universities) to build an integrated mental health atlas across Australia from evidence generated via Public Health Information Development Unit and ABS Data sets. The aim is to map an Australia wide atlas that will inform federal government decision making in Public Health through real-time dashboards.
Program Evaluation
Global Health PX specializes in the design, monitoring and evaluation of public health, digital and health technology interventions with a focus on achieving measurable health outcomes. Our team members have collectively led performance evaluations spanning 60 countries and representing $500 million in foreign aid and healthcare investments. We have worked extensively with bilateral and multilateral government agencies, national Ministries of Health and non-profit foundations.
World Health Organization
Our team led the first comprehensive scientific and management evaluation of the functioning of the WHO's International Health Regulations' algorithm for assessment of 'public health emergencies of international concern'. This evaluation involved designing and administering a quantitative survey to WHO National Focal Points in all 194 WHO-member States, and leading qualitative interviews with a study sample of 30 representatives. Evaluation design received approval from WHO and University of Ottawa Ethics Review Boards. Survey and interviews were conducted in all 8 official United Nations languages. Evaluation recommendations were presented and adopted at the 2011 World Health Assembly and endorsed by WHO co-authored publication in Globalization & Health 2012.
In partnerships with the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and Columbia University, Mailman School of Public Health, our team examined the availability of nutritional support services in HIV care and treatment sites across nine sub-Saharan African countries receiving PEPFAR support. This project involved analyzing programs valued at $200 million in PEPFAR funding to support HIV treatment and care sites. Outcomes variables of interest included availability of: nutritional counselling, micronutrient supplementation, treatment for severe malnutrition, and availability of food rations. Associations with health system indicators were explored using bivariate and multivariate methods. Evaluation included a total of 336 HIV care and treatment sites, serving 467 175 enrolled patients. Findings have been co-published with ICAP researcher in Public Health Nutr. 2012 May;15(5):938-47.
Global Affairs
Our team has designed and led field- and desk-based independent program and institutional evaluations to assess corporate/program efficiencies, attributable health outcomes, supply chain risk and alignment with global best practice; reviewed international methodologies for performance measurement of multilateral programs (i.e. of United Nations, World Bank Group, International Monetary Fund, Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development); analysed strengths and weaknesses of salient methodologies; summarized evaluation methodologies, findings, and provided recommendations to Canadian government on programs spanning operations in >40 countries and valued at >$60 Million in foreign aid investment.
Early life nutrition is central to the fight against undernutrition. Many countries have signed up to the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement and the 1,000 Days strategy that targets conception to age two. Our team members supported the design, monitoring and evaluation framework for the roll-out of micronutrient powders to women and children >2years across six sub-Saharan African countries. The evaluation of these implementation projects concluded that formative research prior to implementing home fortification with micronutrient powders is imperative for guiding successful implementation and scale-up. Lessons learned from operations in these six countries have since been incorporated into UNICEF and WFP country-specific guidelines for home fortification of foods for women and children in low-resource settings.
European Commission
Our team led an end-of-programme evaluation to determine programme effectiveness and efficiency of European Commission's investment into non-governmental organizations in Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), and operations carried out by Concern Worldwide. The evaluation involved field visits and stakeholder interviews to ascertain program outputs and outcomes specific to food security and water, sanitation and hygiene; determining cost-effectiveness of program via comparison on inputs to achieved results; assessing financial, environmental, socio-cultural and political sustainability of interventions; and providing recommendations for future programming and investments. Findings from the evaluation report informed European Commission re-investment and program operations.

Urban Uprising
Towers and spires and domes, oh my!
I've long been fascinated by the shapes and forms you see in the skylines of major cities -- the towers, spires, domes, bridges, and more against the sky, against the weather -- viewed from streets, from roof tops, out of windows in between. And by the bustle of city streets and alleyways, the people, the traffic, plazas, landscaping, signage, reflections in the windows, on and on.
My sketchbook is ever at the ready, one or another drawing the inspiration for a painting. Some of my paintings are based on actual places, others are imaginary or abstracted from what I see around me in what I call an expressionist style, somewhere on the spectrum between realism and abstraction. I align with the painters of "modern life," observing and recording through my art some part of the visual experiences of city living.

Originally I was planning to do a big title where the green chevron strips are, but wanted somehow to convey the directions of a mowed lawn. I cut out the strips from a piece of paper from a 6x6 paper pad by drawing 3 lines on the back, and drawing lines from the outside lines to a point 1" ahead on the middle line, then just cut along the lines with scissors. It was pretty easy! Then I filled in the spaces with sewing lines to create different widths and texture.
I mainly used the 35mm kit by Studio Calico but since it didn't have a lot of bright green, I grabbed those pieces from the Sketchbook line by American Crafts. Other than that I grabbed some pieces here and there from various other lines and kits to pull this whole thing together!
- The main background paper is "White Wood" paper from the On the Bright Side collection by My Mind's Eye
- The colorful Chevron is "Multi Chevron" from the same collection, as well as the banners along the top
- The green dotted paper is "Viridian Vignette" from the Sketchbook collection by American Crafts - I cut the bottom strip with regular scissors and pulled back to create a grass-like look
- The green strip along the top was cut from the bottom of another piece of paper from the same collection
- The happy badge is a Marcy Penner exclusive
- I cut out the clouds from "Genuine Sky" paper from the Fly a Kite collection by My Mind's Eye
- I cut the starburst shape by Studio Calico in the upper left corner in half and drew with pen to outline it a little and have it show up
- I used twine by Jillibean Soup and drew a line with my Zig glue pen where I wanted the twine to go, then placed it on top
- The "Real Life" stamp is by Studio Calico and the date stamp is from the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection by American Crafts - both inked with Wet Cement shadow ink by Hero Arts
- I used Orange and Creme sticky keys by October Afternoon for the word "the" in the title and Amy Tangerine Olive letter stickers by American Crafts for the rest of the title

Opposition veteran Sin Kek Tong, who founded the Singapore People's Party (SPP) and contested six general elections in more than two decades in politics, died on Monday night.
He was 72. A relative told reporters at Mr Sin's wake at his Tiong Bahru block last night that he had prostate cancer.
Mr Sin garnered 41.2 per cent of the vote in his first election in 1988 under the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) banner, losing to Mr Goh Choon Kang of the People's Action Party.
He left the SDP and set up the SPP in 1994 after one of the most controversial splits in Singapore's modern political history. He did so with a breakaway faction of SDP members, who had supported Mr Chiam See Tong during his falling out with the SDP central executive committee, led by Mr Ling How Doong and Dr Chee Soon Juan.
Mr Chiam, who founded the SDP and was MP for Potong Pasir for 27 years until 2011, joined the SPP in 1996.
He and his wife Lina were at the wake.
Said Mr Chiam: "He was a loyal and faithful friend. He was a man of few words. He just went and set up the party. I was very touched by what he did."
Other opposition figures who paid their respects last night included National Solidarity Party president Sebastian Teo, People's Power Party (PPP) chief Goh Meng Seng and PPP chairman Syafarin Sarif.
They paid tribute to Mr Sin's perseverance in opposition politics despite repeated defeats.
He last contested the 2011 General Election, and stepped down as SPP chairman in 2012, citing health reasons and the need to refresh the party leadership.
Mr Sin leaves behind his wife, two daughters, a son and three grandchildren. He will be cremated tomorrow.

Branding l Logo design
ASA (The Association of Siamese Architects under Royal Patronage)
This is a logo that was designed for the ASA Logo design competition. The ASA want competitors to design a logo that can use independently to represent the organization or can be use along side with the official logo. Moreover, the logo must be designed in both Thai and English.
The original ASA logo consists of significant elements in Thai architecture and one of them is "Hua-med" which is an ornamental knop. It is used as a symbol by many architecture related-organizations so it contains a very strong identity for Thai architecture. The new logo derived from the original logo but in more simplistic way. "Hua-med" was subtracted into simple geometry forms such as a triangle and an oval shape. Then they were tilted, scaled and sliced in a certain way to create a letter form which is legible both in Thai and English. This piece of work demonstrates that despite the language barrier, in the world of design we can come up with a concept that align in both languages.

So we had to scramble and find a videographer TWO days before our wedding. We called Jason and Mary, and without any hesitation they said yes. This was seriously a blessing in disguise because we had the most amazing experience with them and an even more amazing wedding video! Jason and Mary made Kyle and I feel like family and really captured every single moment from our wedding. They are so professional and are so willing to answer any fears or questions you may have, even through face time if you live far away! I cried at least 10 times watching our wedding video and I cannot have imagined anyone else capturing such a special day. The whole experience from the initial frantic phone call, to the FaceTime chat filled with excitement when they told us our film was ready! They are two really special people, and anyone would be lucky to have them at their wedding to capture that special day. Thank you so much Jason and Mary!"

5 Ways To Help a Drug Addict Get In To TreatmentMay 18, 2016 - Addiction, Addiction Treatment, Drug Addiction - 0 Comments
When you care about someone who is addicted to drugs, you would do anything to convince them to get help. While you have likely already discovered that getting angry doesn't work, there are strategies that can help you show your support. As you prepare to help your friend or loved one, use these tips to help them get into treatment.
Hold an Intervention
Interventions are effective for helping addicts see that their addiction is affecting everyone in their life. As you plan your intervention, keep in mind that they can get heated so make sure everyone is prepared to stand their ground. In some instances, it is best to have a professional interventionist or counselor involved who can help keep the intervention on topic.
Be Persistent
A person may change their mind several times about going to treatment. It may also take months or years before your loved one realizes that they need help. Try not to judge, and continue to express your desire for them to end their addiction.
Give Them Some Options
Addiction can rob a person of the ability to think clearly, and your friend or family member may not know where to turn. You can reduce the stress by doing some of the leg work yourself. We can help you find out which types of treatment programs are available near your loved one so that you can present them with a list of options from which they can choose.
Offer to Drive
When your loved one admits they need help, it is important to act right away. Have transportation available, and drive them to treatment yourself if you can. Make sure to drive straight there and avoid any "one last time" stops along the way that could give them a chance to change their mind.
Stay Involved
Once your loved one enters rehab, it is important to continue showing your support. Ask if they need help with household tasks while they are away such as paying their bills. If they ask you to visit or attend therapy sessions, then show up and always follow any protocols that are established by the program.
It is possible to do what seems impossible. With perseverance, love and non-judgmental requests, you can get your loved one into treatment. By being proactive and making it clear that your friend or family member needs help, you can be the nudge they need to enter treatment and get started on their recovery.

Guo Yue and Clare Farrow Performance
Internationally acclaimed musician Guo Yue and his writer wife Clare Farrow collaborated to write their award-winning book, Little Leap Forward, a gentle, lyrical story about friendship and freedom, inspired by Yue's own childhood during the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
Based on their book, Clare and Yue have created a magical hour-long performance that uses a captivating blend of readings, artefacts and live music to tell how Yue grew up in the alleys and courtyards of Beijing. The show is about the power and beauty of words, music, imagination and individual creativity and brings to life a segment of the history of modern China.
Don't miss this enthralling performance that will leave teachers and children moved and inspired in equal measure.
Special Offer! Every child attending this performance will get a free copy of Little Leap Forward (RRP £7.99) to take home and keep!

- HOME, 2 Tony Wilson Place, Manchester M15 4FN
- Date:
- Wednesday, 2nd October 2019
- Time:
- 10:30 am
- Duration:
- Approx. 1 hour
- Age range:
- Years 4, 5 and 6

Clare Farrow & Guo Yue
Guo Yue was born in 1958 in Beijing, China. One of six children, and the son of a violinist, he grew up in a traditional courtyard. In 1982 he came to study the silver flute at the Guildhall School of Music, London. As a musician, Yue has travelled extensively, making recordings and playing on film soundtracks (including The Last Emperor).
Clare Farrow, a freelance arts writer, met Yue in 1994. Their first book Music, Food and Love was published in 2006. Little Leap Forward is their first book for children. Clare has curated the exhibition Childhood Recollections: Memory in Design on the theme of childhood, which was shown at the Roca London Gallery in 2015, and most recently, Timber Rising: Vertical Visions for the Cities of Tomorrow.
Quote in praise of Little Leap Forward
One of the many pleasures of this moving story…is its depiction of how a musical child experiences the world as a symphony of sounds… Yue and Farrow… evoke how Little Leap Forward bears witness with the eye of a poet, the ear of a musician and the transformative imagination of a storyteller.

I just wanted to take the time to email to say thank you so much for the exciting events that we have been a part of this week. The children have been so absorbed and engrossed in this book; it's been such a pleasure to explore the themes with them. Yue and Clare were fantastic - please pass on our appreciation.
The details
- Please arrive at the venue at least 20 minutes before the start of the performance, so that you have enough time to find your seats and and use the bathroom. Our start times are strictly governed by the theatres that we work with and by the start and end times of the school day. If you are unavoidably delayed, please get in touch with your Children's Bookshow contact as soon as possible.
- Depending on the time of the performance, you may want your children to bring a packed lunch. (Please contact the theatre directly to check if there is a suitable space.)
- Parking facilities vary from theatre to theatre; please check the theatre website for details.
- Please contact the theatre directly for risk assessment information.
- Please ensure your children have visited the bathroom before the show starts, or ask them to wait until after the performance ends. A constant stream of children getting up to go to the toilet is very distracting for our performers and other members of the audience.

text: 2013 in Pictures Inspired by Calum Muskett's awesome 'year in pictures' blog, I decided to make my own. The only problem is, I'm not Calum and my photos aren't nearly as cool! Still, it was a great year and I hope 2014 gets bigger and better! JanuaryNorth Wales came into fantastic nick for a month, and I got lucky with fitness, ambitions, ability and conditions. I managed to onsight Travesty (VIII, 8) and helped Pete Harrison make the first ascent of Lateo (X, 10), which was cool! February Pete on Pink Panther This winter also saw a quick mixed hit to Switzerland with Pete Harrison. He tore up Matador (M11) and I managed Pink Panther (M9+). March Sunshine came to North Wales! But I can't find any photos so here's a horrific one of uni nightlife! Napoleon Dynamite eat your heart out. I enjoyed climbing on the A55 crags, the Cromlech and Tremadog. I had a great day with Will Oates, where we did Sultans of Swing and I finished off Cream - an old nemesis. These two classic E4s are simply amazing! April Spot the climber in Sikati Cave. 80m+ routes of dripping tufas! Onsighting Mort aux Chevres (7b) Kalymnos! I spent 3 blissful weeks in the Land of Tufas, hanging off stalactites, riding mopeds and getting pumped. Unsurprisingly, my dissertation took a bit of a hit... MayAlex Hallam and I entered the infamous Isle of Jura Fell Race in Scotland. It coincided with total sunshine; everything worked out perfectly: the course, the atmosphere, the weather and even the hills was fantastic! We both did well in the race and then climbed the Old Man of Stoer! What a mental weekend, thanks mate. The photo below sums up Alex and I well JuneI finally managed I've Been a Bad, Bad Boy (7c) at Lower Pen Trwyn. I hadn't really tried this much, but it was spread over a couple of years! Thanks for the belays. A 3* route (sort of).I also watched the sun rise after the uni Summer Ball - what a night! JulyI graduated from Bangor University. Thanks for an amazing three years, everyone. I also managed a couple of great DWS days at Swanage! AugustNothing says 'Welcome to Pembroke' quite like a stellar sunset.Dan Lane and I spent almost all of August living in a van, trad climbing round the UK. We only did the southern and middle part in the end, but still shared some great times. Dan's fantastic photos and a write up is here. I finished it off by climbing Right Wall on the Cromlech. September Vagabond d'Occident (7c), Ceuse, France Rachel Slater and I embarked on a three-month European sport climbing trip in mid-September. We hit Ceuse fairly early on and had a ball. The routes are almost all of impeccable quality! October Rachel and I moved to the Verdon some time in late October. Unfortunately there aren't many photos of Rachel because a) I'm rubbish at bringing my camera, b) I'm rubbish at photography and c) Rachel takes brilliant, artistic photos! Here one of us on Pichenibule, the Verdon. November Made in Mascun (7c) We spent all of November in Rodellar and Margalef, both in Northern Spain. One's a juggy, steep paradise and the other is a powerful, pocket-pulling party! They're both well worth a visit. I managed my first 8a, Gracias Fina. DecemberHome. Our trip came to and end, after an amazing three months in France and Spain. We finished with Terradets, Montsant and Siurana.I've written a few pieces about the trip earlier in this blog, so give them a read if you like. We left Spain in warm sunshine and arrived home to freezing cold rain. 'Err... why did we leave?!' Fingers crossed for a great 2014! Tom LivingstoneNovember 15, 2016Comment Facebook0 0 Likes

After touting legislative victories achieved during the lame-duck session, particularly the massive tax cut package – the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 (2010 Tax Relief Act) – President Obama is looking ahead to 2011. The president signaled that he expects Republicans and Democrats in the 112th Congress to debate reforming the U.S. Tax Code.
President Obama intends to start a "conversation" about tax reform in 2011 and said that he is hopeful there will be support from both parties to overhaul the tax system. Obama has outlined over the course of the past year how the current tax system could be simplified and revamped to eliminate unnecessary tax loopholes, particularly for U.S. corporations operating oversees. Obama has supported a simplified Tax Code with lower tax rates and a broader tax base.
At the same time, the president has acknowledged that any attempt to completely overhaul the current tax system, given its complexity, will not happen quickly. The last major overhaul of the Tax Code was in 1986. Looking ahead, Obama said the administration will focus on job creation and economic growth now that he believes the U.S. economy has stabilized.

From Thomas Boylston Adams to William Smith Shaw, 9 March 1799
Dear William
I am now and then regaled with a few words from your store house, spread over as many lines, which brings to my mind very forcibly the words of Pope. "The weighty bullion" & you know the rest. As yet however I have nothing directly from your hand. I have been playing truant ever since I arrived, and begin to think it high time to attend my office more punctually.
We have had Balls and dinners &ca: in honor of Genl Washington's birth day. I was one of the singing dancing, eating, drinking, smoaking & toasting multitude on the occasion, and filled my character, I hope, with becoming zeal. You have doubtless somewhat of a similar history to give of the proceedings at Philadelphia—other proceedings of an opposite <
[. . .]> complexion are not wanting among you to fill the Chronicle of variety or scandal.
I am amused with Peter's strictures upon the Report of a nomination to France—Mr: Pitt may dislike the measure as much, though his practice has been very similar to it.
Our situation has been for a length of time, neither peace or war with France—so long as this continued, milk & water must have remained the complexion of all our proceedings—The Reptiles would not declare war as they ought, and the President in consequence has declared peace, if it can be made. Some of us say, the Senate will non-concur—I say they will concur.
I am with best remembrance to friends / your's
MHi: Miscellaneous Papers.

I hope it's not too late. I want to take some art classes.
I don't "need" them. I can't "afford" them. However, I can't really afford the take-out and fast-food I live on. But I can't help but think that this would help me. I would have a scheduled time carved out to be creative with other creative people. But it is hard to spend $500 on a class that won't bring in any revenue. I've got many, many years of education under my belt that "ain't earnin' me a thing". You know?
Have you ever invested/splurged on yourself?

One of our favorite things to do on Saturday mornings is visit our local farmers market. We are lucky that our neighborhood market continues indoors throughout the winter. While the produce options are much more limited this time of year, leeks seem to be a constant offering.
If you aren't familiar with leeks, they are those vegetables that look like over-sized scallions. Leeks are a member of the Allium vegetable family which also includes onions and garlic. They are packed with phytonutrients and are a good source of Vitamins A, K, C and folate. Leeks have a unique flavor that is less harsh than onions, shallots and scallions which is why I enjoy them so much.
These leek fritters are adapted from one of my favorite cookbooks, Smitten Kitchen. They are really versatile and can be served for breakfast, lunch, dinner or as an appetizer. We love them as a brunch option paired with a fried egg and simple green salad. If you have leftovers, they reheat in the oven pretty well but I like them better the first day.
- 3 large leeks
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1 egg
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- For Serving:
- Fried eggs
- Spring mix
- Trim the leeks, leaving only the white and pale green parts. Halve them lengthwise and slice them into ¼ inch strips.
- Place the sliced leeks into a large bowl of cold water. Use your hands to agitate the leeks and dislodge any dirt or sand that may be clinging to them.
- Scoop the leeks out of the water with a slotted spoon and place in a pot of boiling water. Cook them for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly softened. Drain well and wring them out in a dish towel to remove the extra water.
- In a large bowl, combine the leeks and green onions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, black pepper, salt and cayenne pepper.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the leek mixture. Stir in the egg and mix until evenly coated.
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees and place a foil lined baking sheet inside.
- Place a few paper towels on a large plate and set aside.
- In a large heavy skillet, like a cast iron pan, heat 2 Tbsp oil over medium heat.
- Form small patties with the leek mixture and carefully drop into the skillet. Cook the leek fritters until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
- Place cooked fritters on the paper towel lined plate to help absorb any extra oil. Then transfer them into the warm oven while you make the remaining fritters.
- Serve with a fried egg and handful of greens.

College Station, TX.
One of my roommates was worshiping alone in a chapel on campus when a girl who had been in tears approached him. She told him she had heard an entire choir, with beautiful 5-part harmonies singing with him, and didn't know what it was or what had happened since she looked around the room and saw no one. He responded by simply stating that the angels enjoy showing up to worship when we sing to Jesus. She got wrecked by the reality of the unseen and the beauty of God's created heavenly beings :)
