The future promises significant changes for how cancer care is accessed and delivered, and innovative providers are finding new opportunities to enhance cancer treatment by putting patients first. This session will consist of four case studies to explore how providers leveraged design and operational strategies to improve quality of care and patient experience.
Part I - Small Space, Big Impact: MIBG Treatment Suites for Pediatric Patients
Neuroblastoma has one of the lowest survival rates of all pediatric cancers and accounts for 15% of all pediatric cancer deaths. MIBG therapy is generally more effective, less painful, and requires less time in the hospital than other Neuroblastoma treatment options. However, due to the high levels of I-131 delivered by the MIBG carrier, the regime requires total patient isolation for 3-5 days, and sabotages patient/family experience at a new level for families who are at their most fragile. This team has designed one of the first 20 MIBG treatment suites in the US, which requires significant measures to protect clinical teams and family caregivers from radiation toxicity. We will present two case studies conducted prior to design, and the final solution for the Atrium Health Levine ChildrenÆs Hospital MIBG suite, showing design and operational strategies for providing quality care, safely.
Part II - What do Verizon and Toys R Us have in Common
Memorial Sloan Kettering is developing a network of facilities that allows their patients access to chemotherapy and radiation treatments, cutting edge clinical trials, plus pre and post operative check ins with their surgeons as conveniently as possible. Finding the right building or right fit that can be repurposed in their patientÆs communities. In 2014 MSK opened the West Harrison facility; formerly an office for Verizon, then four years later it opened the Bergen facility; formerly an office for Toys R Us. Both facilities are repurposed office buildings with all of the challenges that entails, including limited floor to floor heights and difficult structural systems. How have patient experience, staff workflow, hospitality and changes in healthcare affected their design? This session discusses the design of ambulatory cancer facilities with a specific focus on patient lounge(waiting), exam, infusion, and team work area design.
Part III - Putting together the pieces: Creating a Destination for Healing at the MCI
The design for the new Miami Cancer Institute (MCI) was driven by the goals of Baptist Health South Florida (BHSF) and its Patient Advisory Group, who envisioned a new destination cancer center that would provide a welcoming, restorative, and healing environment, as well as a resilient facility that would withstand weather-related events. This session will highlight the MCI design process to identify how technology and the planning approach shaped the facilityÆs patient experience and infrastructure. The presenters will share their diverse perspectivesŚas client, medical planner, and engineerŚon the process of meeting the technical needs of the cancer center and on their engagement of the patient advisory group to guide a facility that meets the project goals.
Part IV -ĀWho Moved the Patient? Remapping the outpatient cancer care experience
The traditional patient shuffle from one care setting to another is a thing of the past. Travel with us through a customer experience mapping of the Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute Expansion to understand what operational, spatial and functional program changes were made during the design of the project to create spaces for multi-disciplinary care teams who bring services to the patient instead. We will summarize the Customer Experience Mapping Workshop and review outcomes, showing how the existing 30+ touchpoint model was streamlined to an 11 touchpoint experience that supported LCIÆs Planetree Designation. Material will include the multi-disciplinary clinic building block that provides flexible patient spaces with immediate adjacency to sub-specialty clinical staff, guest services, integrative oncology resources, testing, education, respite and spiritual and emotional support.

Makes you feel like you are in a Movie, Great!!
I will start by stating that I had issues actually getting the game to load the first level (crash during the loading screen), but with a quick search online, found it was an issue that a lot of people were having, and that creating an exclusion in your Antivirus software for the game's executable solves this issue for most.
Aside from that, I have had no other issues with the game (yet), and am enjoying it a lot. I would recommend buying this if you're looking for a fast paced, action packed FPS (feels like a faster pace than previous COD games).
Just started the first mission so early days but action and graphics are wonderful
Infinity Ward, the award-winning studio that helped create the Call of Duty franchise, reaches new heights with Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Infinite Warfare returns to the roots of the franchise with large-scale war, epic battles, and cinematic, immersive military storytelling and takes players on a journey from Earth to beyond our atmosphere. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare delivers something for every Call of Duty fan with three unique game modes: Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare delivers something for every Call of Duty fan with three unique game modes: Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies. Delivering a rich and engaging narrative in a setting unlike anything to date in a Call of Duty game, the campaign is a return to the franchise's gritty, military roots throughout new environments never before seen in the franchise.
The player will embark on a classic war story about grand scale warfare; all set in a grounded future where human conflict has spread throughout our solar system. Multiplayer action combines Call of Duty's popular chain-based movement system with ground-breaking gameplay innovations to deliver the deepest and most engaging Call of Duty experience to date. The title introduces stunning, never before seen, multi-planetary environments, new weaponry, and all-new player abilities to Call of Duty. In addition, the new Zombies experience will thrill co-op players with an original direction featuring fun and unique gameplay, all wrapped into an entertaining narrative sure to excite fans.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will take players on an unforgettable journey as they engage in battles from Earth to beyond our atmosphere against a relentless, enemy faction that threatens our very way of life. It's grand scale war and hallmark boots-on-the-ground Call of Duty action with memorable characters, rich emotional arcs, and stunning new environments, all within an epic new setting.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare puts storytelling front and center, in a deeply engaging narrative. It features jaw-dropping set-pieces and blockbuster cinematic moments, while also delivering a gripping portrayal of war that harkens back to the roots of the franchise. Infinity Ward also breaks new ground by thrusting the player into wartime leadership as Captain Reyes, a Tier 1 Special Operations pilot, who takes the helm of the Retribution, one of Earth's last remaining warships. In a time of unthinkable hardships, Reyes must lead the remnants of coalition forces against a relentless foe in a war that spans our solar system.
The Settlement Defense Front (SetDef) represents a splinter group of insurgents that broke away from the United Nations Space Alliance during a war of secession, years ago. In the world of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, our planet has been stripped of its natural assets through population growth and industrial expansion. The people of Earth now rely upon colonies throughout the solar system to mine planets and asteroids for necessary fuel and other resources. The SetDef is a fascist power, comprised of brutal and militant radicals, toughened by the extreme conditions of offworld environments. They seek to control those outposts and their wealth, putting a stranglehold on the countries of Earth. After years of uneasy stalemate, diplomatic relations are strained, and it will take only the slightest nudge to lead to full-scale war.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will incorporate the popular chain-based movement system players know and love into an innovative multiplayer experience that rewards players more than ever before for utilizing their surroundings and applying strategy in the heat of the moment. Maps are designed to further leverage the chain-based movement system and immerse players into fast, fun, and frenetic gameplay that players have come to expect from Call of Duty. With its new approach to play, multiplayer will bring innovative gameplay that challenges players to achieve their goals in creative ways based on their specific play style.
Infinity Ward introduces a fresh take on the nightmarish Zombies mode in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. With an all-new, immersive Zombies storyline for players to uncover and explore, players are thrust into a spine tingling adventure not for the faint of heart. Zombies will take players on a wild ride with a multitude of new features, while thrilling players with the core mechanics that fans have come to expect from the mode.

Sister Jennie Lechtenberg of Puente Learning Center and Prince Charles struck up a special friendship when he last visited Los Angeles.
So he invited her to participate in the Prince of Wales Business Leaders Forum Advisory Council, and, at his request, she recently went to London and Rio de Janeiro to speak about Puente and its unique public/private partnerships as avenues of empowering and educating economically disadvantaged children, adolescents and adults. Lechtenberg hopes Puente's success in training educators in creating corporate partnerships, establishing computer-assisted instruction and designing fund-raising events can be projected to foreign countries.
Right now, though, she's completing the move into Puente's new building.
Pamela M. Mullin, over lunch at Patina, lauded Lechtenberg and noted that John Amerman, chairman of Mattel Inc., has agreed to be honored by Puente at a black-tie event this fall. Mattel has given Puente tremendous leadership and financial support. In turn, the children's wing of the new building is named after the toy company.
Floral Wonders: The phones are ringing incessantly this summer over Floriade IV. Although the affair featuring prominent floral, landscape and interior designers is months away--April 25-27, 1996--Lyn Miller of Pacific Palisades, Floriade chairwoman, and Lynn Brengel of San Marino, chairwoman of the "Premier Party" on opening night, have combined their genius. Already they have a nationally known list of speakers and authors booked. They plan for 450 guests the first night.

Hay, DJ, play that request! (aka. where's all the music on VGMdb?)
As everyone is probably aware, VGMdb doesn't archive audio, samples, or previews of game music. However, we wouldn't be here if we didn't like listening to game music, would we? Well, I happen to have this large collection (sadly, not all listed in my profile yet) of CDs, and many excellent sources for more. I also have the permission and ability to play a lot of the music on my exclusively-game-music radio station.
Gigablah and I have been working on a little glue between VGMdb and Music and Gaming radio (which for now is just a little box in the corner of the MAGFest site) that allows album pages and my radio controller to communicate. So now, whenever you want to check which song is on "that one CD", or preview an album before buying it when online CD purchasing sites don't really have much in the way of game music, you'll now be able to send a request to my "DJ robot". Given that I've got the track (you won't see the request button to the right of the tracktime otherwise), and that there are no requests ahead of yours, you'll hear it right away at the next song change.
The list of requestable albums is maintained here. Although I don't have anywhere close to the number of albums VGMdb has cataloged, I am constantly adding more albums to the station in hopes that people will find something awesome they want to listen to. If you're an artist listed on VGMdb and you would like to send us your stuff, please feel free to send me a PM or E-mail and we can get it in the rotation. Additionally, we do accept VGM CD donations, though I know we have a lot of collectors so I'm guessing most people will want to hold onto their music. =]
Last but not least, a few quick notes about the station. It depends on my Internet connection, which is up most of the time but blips could knock it offline temporarily (98% of the time it will recover automatically). I broadcast in Vorbis because you can get great sound at a really low bitrate. And last but not least, every once in awhile we will run a live show so it won't interrupt us with your request (though you could certainly jump on IRC and request something there!). Conveniently, requests are stored until they are played, so even if we're running a show, it'll get played when we go back to "regular" mode.
Anyway, thanks for reading, and if you like what you see (hear), please let me know. I'm happy to field constructive criticism and curious about any feedback or questions you might have. If I have time, I can possibly even extend the station and make it more featureful, but that's the future. =]

September 23–October 22
Mercury skips through your sign from October 7 until October 24, helping you to express yourself with ease and think through personal matters with objectivity. You'll need those abilities, since Mars is hiding out at the bottom of your chart all month, and his presence there is apt to make you feel wound up. He and Pluto are quibbling with planets in Libra on the 5th, 7th, 13th and 15th, putting you at risk of overreacting. If you get agitated, do your best to tune into your underlying emotions and understand how they're coloring your interactions.
A full moon in your one-on-one angle on October 15 can trigger a turning point in a relationship, and you're likely to have very strong feelings about the situation. Take deep breaths, try to be a good listener and step back for a while to process the turbulence inside you and assess where you stand. The tone lightens significantly on the 26th, thanks to your ruling planet, Venus, in your communication corner vibing with Jupiter in Libra. You'll be able to tell people how much you care about them and might even drop the L-word for the first time if the spirit moves you. Single Libras can readily meet new prospects that day—especially if you broaden your horizons by checking out new spots in your neighborhood or on your commute. Even picking up your morning latte at a different café could do the trick.
October 23–November 21
With Venus gracing your sign until the 18th, you're having good hair days and feeling social. Take advantage of your magnetism and spend quality time with your s.o. if you have one, book dates with someone you're into or go out with friends and flirt more than usual. The 1st looks the most romantic, since Venus is harmonizing with dreamy Neptune in your love sector then, but Venus's encounter with Pluto in your communication zone on the 5th could generate sexual chemistry as well. Just keep an eye on subconscious expectations that night, since Mars is battling hopeful Jupiter in your subliminal corner.
The Mars-Neptune confab on October 11 can motivate you to go after what you want, making that a good time to ask someone out or tell your guy how you feel. But avoid speaking hastily on the 13th and 15th when Mercury skirmishes with Mars and Pluto. Mars and Pluto are your co-ruling planets, and they're joining forces on October 19, deepening your mindset and your interactions. Make a conscious effort to put this super intense energy to good use. Venus's quibble with Neptune on the 25th puts you in danger of idealizing someone's worth, and you'll have an easier time understanding what's best for you when Venus jibes with Jupiter the next day. A Scorpio new moon on October 30 nudges you to start expressing yourself with greater impact, blending alluring romanticism and impressive personal power.
November 22–December 21
Venus in your release corner clicks with Neptune on the 1st, alluding to very private romance if you have a partner and letting go of a past love if you're single. You might take care of someone in a show of compassion or take care of your own heart and heal. On the 4th and 14th, the sun and Mercury gel with Saturn in Sagittarius, inspiring you to connect with friends, especially if you've been uncharacteristically isolated. Reach out to people on October 11 as well, when Mercury meets up with Jupiter in your network zone. If you're unattached, that's a good time to attend big gatherings and let people know you're open to meeting new guys. Since that house also rules technology, joining a dating site or using an app you haven't logged onto in awhile could yield results.
A full moon on the 15th will probably give you an urge to play, and it might bring a sudden crush that may or may not turn into something. Venus arrives in Sag on the 18th, sending your sociability and charm skyrocketing. Another bonus: You'll feel extra attractive during the next few weeks! That special glow is apt to be noticed, so put yourself in a position to draw in the right people, particularly on the 26th when Venus vibes with Jupiter. Her meetup with Saturn on October 29 could make you feel more inhibited, but it might inspire you to commit if you're already involved.
December 22–January 19
Throughout October, Mars will be transiting your sign, mobilizing you to pursue your goals. You'll be extra assertive and may need to tone down your authoritativeness on the 5th, 7th, 13th and 15th when planets in your ambition angle clash with Mars and Pluto in Capricorn. With Venus in your group zone until October 18, you're able to juggle your professional and personal lives fairly well. A Venus-Neptune rendezvous on October 1 hints at encountering someone organically in the course of your day, while a Venus-Pluto link on October 5 encourages you to go out with friends to blow off steam.
If you're single, your best bet for meeting new guys is networking. So put the word out and say yes to large gatherings of all sorts, including industry events. After Venus segues into your release corner on the 18th, you'll need more alone time, and if you're in a relationship, getting cozy with your man in private will be particularly gratifying. You'll be a force of nature when Mars and Pluto come together in Cap on October 19. This energy is so intense that you'd do well to make use of it in the bedroom or working independently on a passion project. You'll probably feel volatile on the 28th, due to a Mars-Uranus dustup, and a decluttering binge might help. The next day, Venus's meetup with Saturn can facilitate closure if you're trying to get over someone.
January 20–February 18
Venus is sauntering over the top of your chart the first few weeks of the month, helping you to polish your professional image and turn on the charm with higher-ups. You might be drawn to a power player or someone older than you during this time, and falling for a boss or mentor is a possibility. With Mars in your subliminal corner through all of October, you can accomplish a lot by working behind the scenes, though. This planetary position favors very private sex, so if you get involved with someone now, you might keep it to yourself for a bit.
You need to watch out for self-defeating behavior when Mars is hiding out in this house, and when he battles planets in your expansion zone on the 5th and 13th, you could undermine your growth by regressing. You may feel like you're taking one step forward and two steps back, and this is the perfect month to unpack emotional baggage so you can move into the future with a sense of freedom and optimism. Talking to a broad range of people on the 11th can lift your spirits, thanks to a Mercury-Jupiter alliance that day. And with Venus in your group zone gelling with Jupiter on October 26, you're apt to click with someone new or share a positive experience with a pal then. A Venus-Saturn meetup on the 29th may reveal whom you can rely on, so lean on good friends if you need to.
February 19–March 20
The sun remains in your intimacy house through October 22, emphasizing your role in close relationships, and with Mercury visiting that house from the 7th until the 24th, you're inclined to ponder your personal life and confide in someone you trust. Meanwhile, friendly Venus is moving through your expansion sector until the 18th, inspiring you to enjoy the company of a wider range of new people and to share adventures with your boyfriend if you have one. Venus is vibing with Neptune in Pisces on the 1st, kicking off your month with an exciting encounter or a pleasurable escape, and a romantic trip or a date with someone outside your comfort zone is likely to go well.
A Venus-Pluto connection on October 5 further encourages you to socialize, but a Mars-Jupiter disagreement that day implies friendship and sex aren't a good mix. Planets in those two houses are sparring during the first half of the month, calling for you to draw a clear line between your platonic and sexual bonds. Make sure you're sending out clear signals when the sun, Mercury and Jupiter tangle with Neptune on October 2, 12 and 23. Venus in your ambition angle will be harmonizing with Jupiter on the 26th, helping you feel more optimistic about achieving your relationship goals. And a Mercury-Neptune collaboration on October 30 nudges you to chat up a stranger if you're single; you're apt to find common ground without much effort.
March 21–April 19
With Mars in your achievement angle all month, you're focused on getting ahead in your career, but when Mars and Pluto battle planets in your partnership house on October 5, 7, 13, 15, friction with your s.o. or close friends could compel you to dial down your ambition to accommodate another person. Fortunately, Mercury enhances one-on-one communication from the 7th through the 24th, enabling you to smooth ruffled feathers with well-chosen words. A Mercury-Jupiter alliance on October 11 encourages you to open up to your man and allows you to understand each other better; be willing to tweak the balance between independence and sharing if you desire real closeness.
When the full moon lands in Aries on October 15, though, you're bound to feel temperamental, so don't think twice about chilling by yourself that night. Venus segues into your expansion corner on the 18th; if you're dating, that's your cue to branch out and give a guy who doesn't meet all of your criteria a chance. You might decide a man bun isn't a dealbreaker after all! Whether you're single or spoken for, when Jupiter and Venus jostle with Neptune in your release sector on the 23rd and 25th, letting go of the past and embracing the future will enhance your ability to connect with someone in the present. On October 30, a new moon in your intimacy zone can heat up your sex life in the weeks that follow.
April 20–May 20
Your ruler, Venus, dances through your one-on-one angle until October 18 and moves into your intimacy zone after that, so you're definitely in the mood for companionship. You might meet someone through friends or at a party on the 1st, thanks to Venus's rendezvous with Neptune in your group zone—also the perfect night to include your boyfriend in a GNO if you're in a relationship, since he's likely to click with your crew. On October 5, attend a lecture on a topic you're passionate about when a Venus-Pluto encounter favors connecting through education. Resist the temptation to hook up with a pal on the 25th, when Venus battles Neptune, blurring the line between platonic and sexual. If you're already taken, your private life can get out of sync with your social life that night, creating disappointment and misunderstanding.
Fortunately, Venus gels with Jupiter the next day, providing you with a clear path to work out your differences. Plus Mercury harmonizes with the sun and Neptune on the 27th and 30th, keeping the lines of communication wide open. When Venus and Saturn align in your intimacy zone on October 29, a relationship can turn super serious. If you're part of a couple, this will feel like a test, requiring both of you to get on the same page. A new moon on the 30th might bring a new man into your life or make you even more committed to your current one.
May 21–June 20
Mars charges through your intimacy house in October, giving your libido a major boost. Try not to get ahead of yourself on the 5th, when this action-oriented planet clashes with enthusiastic Jupiter, causing you to go overboard for the sake of love or lust. A Mercury-Mars spat on the 13th can put flirting and sex at odds, ultimately causing a conflict, but Merc's link with Saturn the next day facilitates a serious convo if you need to talk things out. Do your own thing or hang out with friends if one-on-one relations feel too loaded on October 15, when several planets skirmish with each other.
The Mars-Pluto hookup on October 19 hints at super intense sex if you have a partner, but you could also wind up in a power struggle if the intensity doesn't get used up in the bedroom. Single? This combo pushes you to turn a big psychological corner, especially if you're recovering from a loss. Don't be afraid to face something dark inside yourself; you'll find out how strong you are. A Venus-Neptune disagreement on the 25th introduces uncertainty about where a relationship is headed, but the Venus-Jupiter collaboration on the 26th restores optimism, making that an ideal date night. Venus and Saturn meet up in your one-on-one angle on October 29, giving a close connection a big dose of reality for better or for worse. One way or another, this is a chance to DTR.
June 21–July 22
Venus lingers in your romance-and-happiness zone until October 18, inspiring you to enjoy life every chance you get. And with Mars hanging out in your one-on-one angle all month, odds are you'll have more fun if you snag a partner to join you. Those two planets vibe with Neptune in your exploration house on the 1st and 11th, green-lighting a romantic trip or shared adventure. Even if you only end up grabbing dinner with a guy, your faith in love and your ability to find common ground with a wide range of people will be to your advantage. If you're in a relationship, your family, your past or your mood can cause trouble between you on October 5, 7, 13 and 15, and you should tune into your emotions before you get into a power struggle you don't understand.
The 19th could bring a dramatic encounter as well, due to Mars and Pluto conjoining; team up to work through a problem together rather than projecting this potentially destructive energy onto each other. Making a sacrifice to keep the peace will pay off on the 26th, because Venus in your productivity corner gels with beneficent Jupiter that day. A partnership could take a strange turn on October 28, when Mars battles erratic Uranus, so expect the unexpected. Looking for love? Keep your eyes peeled at work after the 18th, since amorous Venus will be warming up your job house at that point.
July 23–August 22
Since Venus remains in your domestic angle during the first few weeks of October and Mars is in your productivity corner all month, much of your time will be taken up with nesting and working. Venus meshes with Neptune in your intimacy zone on the 1st, hinting at romantic sex in the privacy of your home, unwinding with family, or spending time by yourself soothing your soul. So whether you make use of the Kama Sutra, Scrabble or your journal, the point is to stay in and enjoy! When the sun and Mercury in your communication sector sync with Saturn in your self-expression house on October 4 and 14, you'll be able to speak your truth with ease; schedule a heart-to-heart with your boyfriend if you need to get something off your chest.
If you have your eye on a colleague, after-work drinks or a late night at the office on the 11th could lead to hooking up when Mars vibes with Neptune. Venus lands in your romance house on the 18th, favoring flirting and dating after that. Avoid rushing into anything on the 25th, though, when her spat with Neptune makes it hard to tell the difference between a crush and a soul mate. If you're hoping to meet new guys, a Venus-Jupiter connection on October 26 prompts you to go somewhere you've never been before in your neighborhood and take part in a favorite pastime or have fun with friends.
August 23–September 22
With Venus in your communication sector and Mars in your romance-and-happiness house, you're inclined to wear your heart on your sleeve and do as you please. Venus's links with Neptune and Pluto on the 1st and 5th inspire anything from flirting to spiritual connection to intense love. A Mars-Jupiter challenge on the 5th ups the ante, and your confidence can spur you to take a big risk. You're apt to feel in sync with someone on October 11, thanks to a collaboration between Mars and Neptune, but Mercury's fights with Mars and Pluto on the 13th and 15th allude to a disagreement—and the full moon on October 15 spells emotional drama in an important relationship, which could ultimately bring you closer or mark the beginning of the end.
Your friendship house serves as an outlet for tension that night, so don't hesitate to vent to your pals if you're stressed. The Mars-Pluto hookup on the 19th will generate sparks, and any attraction that begins then is likely to be intense. After Venus sashays into your domestic angle on the 18th, you may want to show off your cooking (or Seamless) skills; skip the 25th and circle the 26th instead. A Venus-Neptune skirmish is bound to make you insecure, but you'll feel comfortable when Venus gels with Jupiter the next day. Sex on the 28th needs to be no-strings, since Mars is sparring with freewheeling Uranus then. If you require commitment, go home alone that night.

Hello, There is no cure for Hashimoto's, but replacing hormones with medication can regulate hormone levels and restore your normal metabolism.Since you have high TSH level ,you may have to take medicines, Once you start treatment, your doctor will order a lab test called a thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) test to monitor thyroid function and help ensure you are getting the right dose.

A passer-by might have wondered at the sight of dozens of seventh and eighth grade students walking around on the stage of the William Allen Middle School in Moorestown last week, and then �freezing� on command.
Was this a drill of some sort? A new game?
Actually, neither of the above. It was, in fact, a �Master Class� in progress, being led by Bonnie Kelly, currently performing on the national tour of the hit show �Beauty and the Beast.�
The show will be on stage at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia from Tuesday through Dec. 1, with Kelly playing one of the pivotal �Silly Girls� in the show. Rehearsals began in August, and the tour is already on the road.
But last Tuesday afternoon, the total emphasis was on learning how to be a convincing actor. The school is presenting a student production of �Beauty and the Beast� starting on Feb. 20, delivered by a cast of 76 seventh- and eighth-grade students.
�This is really an amazing experience for the kids,� said the show�s choreographer, Katelynn Dickstein, who also is a history teacher at the school. �Working with an actress who is in the show, and who is willing to share her talent and her ideas, is really quite a gift.�
Indeed it was.
For 90 minutes, Kelly, who attended Cherry Hill High School West, had worked with Susan Balderstone there in the drama program. Balderstone is now working in Moorestown and directing the production, which is how the connection was made.
All afternoon, students were called upon to act out scenes and situations as Kelly deftly guided them, giving gentle but important advice about facial expression, movement, stage presence and even the importance of a smile.
Several times, the students were broken up into smaller groups to work on motions/movements � sending and receiving a ball, then doing the same with boxes of various sizes.
Slowly but surely, the students began to relax, forget whatever self-consciousness they had, and lose themselves in the moment.
Soon enough, the cast members were acting out various emotions in teams of two, from anger to sadness to joy. Then they were asked to take on the role of a cashier in a place of their own imagining, but were only permitted to speak to one another in question form. Quietly coaching in the background was Kelly.
�I was lucky enough to have these experiences when I was in school working with Susan Balderstone,� recalled Kelly, whose passion for dance is what thrust her into musical theatre. She earned her bachelor of fine arts at Montclair State University, and then landed a national tour in �A Chorus Line� after working in summer stock companies across New England.
Allen Middle School Vocal Director Marcia Klock observed that even after just one week of rehearsals for �Beauty and the Beast� had begun, the youngsters in the huge cast were already finding newfound skills on the stage.
�They�re learning already to think about their play characters, and they�re really learning from one another. They�re starting to feel like they�re really all in this together,� she said.
After more than hour of improvisation and other exercises the students reassembled in their auditorium seats and had a question-and-answer session with Kelly.
�Do you still get nervous?� they wondered.
�Sometimes, if I can see faces in the audience, I do. But it�s not a big deal,� she said.
And what happens if she misses a dance step? �I just keep going � and I smile a lot. No one will know!�
Most of all, the young actress wanted the students to know that �Beauty and the Beast� is not just some little Disney movie, and that being in an ensemble is not just some little part.
�You learn in theater that you can give depth and meaning to anything you do on the stage. And that�s the most important lesson of all,� she said.

©One© Gold Bar Necklace
This is one of my favorite gifts ever from my hubby! I have seen that these gold bar necklaces are all the rage lately, especially with celebrities! I knew I wanted one but with a personal touch to make it a little bit different. I thought engraving our wedding anniversary in roman numerals would be so special and meaningful :) With that idea in mind, I went straight to my go to site, Etsy, and began to search for shops that could make it happen! Jeff was asking me what I wanted for Vday and I shared my idea of the necklace and he thought that was awesome and said, "you want it, you got it babe!" Yay! Thanks to my hubby, I placed my ordered and I am very pleased! I will treasure this forever and ever.
Hello, my name is Sara Neisslie and I have a candy addiction! Any that knows me can tell you that I am obsessed with candy. I love it all- nerds, sweet-tarts, sour punch straws, crybaby tears to name a few. I am always pumped when a new holiday is approaching because I have certain seasonal candy that I can't wait to go out and buy (call me crazy, I just can't help it). Here are some of my Valentine's Day favorites...
|Petite Sour Hearts
Like I said before I love LOVE!
I'm a sucker for those lovey quotes out there!
|created my own :)
These look so delicious and easy to make! All you need is square pretzels, Hersey Hugs or Kisses, and M&Ms.
Recipe & Directions for Valentine Pretzel Buttons found & pinned to my Pinterest page!
To celebrate Valentine's Day, Jeff and I will go out to dinner and come home to watch a movie of my choice!! I'm thinking RomCom (romantic comedy). Some of my favorite love movies..
|Of course I had to list this one!

John Priest,
I launched The Battle For Middle Ground back in January 2017. Since then BFMG has grown to be a prominent brand on the UK competition circuit, holding two successful events last year, with 2-3 more planned this year. During this time, I've tried to immerse myself within the UKCF community, with the competition having a constant social media presence. As part of just a two man team, I have experience of almost every aspect of running competitions, from concept to delivery.
Away from Crossfit, I have a career background in customer service management, running hospitality venues in West Yorkshire. The slight downside to this being a love for good food and drinks!
I'm excited and honoured to have been asked to be part of the Battle Cancer team. Having seen their 2017 event, I was hugely impressed by both their fundraising achievement, and the event itself. The plans for 2018 look epic, and I can't wait to play my part in raising so much money for so many great causes.

If Barack Obama left you a voicemail, wouldn't you save it forever? Jeremy Piven revealed today that the President-elect had left him a message with his phone number, but that the Entourage star accidentally erased the voicemail!
"I was lucky to stump for Barack in Indiana and to introduce him in Chicago. Barack left me five [phone] numbers." he tells Extra. "It was the greatest voicemail that I've gotten in my life by the way… I saved it and I went back to listen to it and my BlackBerry had erased all of Barack Obama's phone numbers. Then when I called back to try to tell them, 'Can I get Barack's number? He left it for me.' They didn't believe me and I now have nothing and I've been trying to find him."
The Entourage actor, who was nominated this morning for a Golden Globe for his performance on the show has another, slightly odd connnection to Barack– his character, Ari Gold, is based on Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel, whose brother is Barack's new chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel.
With all those connections, he's got to be able to get to the inauguration!
"I have no invite to the inauguration and I think I'm going to crash it to be honest with you," he jokes. "I'm on stage right now doing Broadway and I'm going to miss my show to go to the White house and I don't have a ticket."
Come on, Mr. President-elect, give the Piv a call!

It's hard to believe that we are already approaching the tenth anniversary of the tsunami that devastated South East Asia in December 2004. Flooding and rain caused mass destruction and death, spurring a worldwide humanitarian response effort. Many people lost loved ones, and for children, this often meant their parents. The school in the southern district of Kapong was created shortly after the disaster as a boarding facility to ensure that the region's orphans were not left without guidance and education. The school has since broadened its mission, serving not only abandoned children but also those who come from underprivileged families.
We are extremely lucky to have formed a continuing partnership with the school. During October, we had volunteers working at the Summer Camp, a program offered to students during the holiday between semesters. The camp puts a special emphasis on the English language, offering students to the chance to take elective courses (IT, Art, and Hospitality) that are taught in English. Language learning got a bit more "fun" than during a normal school week – students went on treasure hunts, put on plays (in English, of course) and went on outings to local landmarks.
Although children learn a lot about English and other cultures, they are also given many opportunities to connect to their heritage. During camp, one field trip was to the local Nah Rai Buddhist temple. A more solemn site visited was the Police Boat 813, a naval boat on patrol during the tsunami, which now serves as a memorial for those who lost their lives during the tragedy. Many of the students were young at the time of the event, but they are still affected, some by the loss of a family member.
Even during the semester, the students' education is not limited to the classroom. Our volunteers help lead extracurricular activities like gardening, swimming, the marching band, and cooking. We often take skills like meal preparation or swimming or learning an instrument for granted, but many of the students had never had the chance to learn these before. Children also learn computer skills like e-mail, GoogleDocs or Powerpoint. Technological literacy opens the door for students to an increased number of job opportunities upon graduation. Thanks to exchange programs with the Hong Kong International School, Seoul Foreign school and to our international volunteers like you, the children are on their way to becoming citizens of the world!
If you have a special talent or interest, come and share it -- the children will love for you to teach them! If teaching isn't your strength, there are still plenty of ways to lend your skills in the office or with the general day-to-day operations of the school. To find out more about volunteering in Thailand, please click here.

A few weeks ago in April, I was invited to witness a new revolution in television watching. I did asked myself how smart can a television be as internet seems to be hogging the limelight when it comes to television. It seems that Samsung is one step faster in adapting that as the SMART TV system is not juts about the television. It is also an entertainment system, a computer system you can hook to the television, the 3-D glass that you need to view your favourite show and of course, sound.
As we registered, we were given a 3-D viewing piece for us to see how 'real' television viewing can be. Needless to say, being the blogger we are, we were already playing around with the buttons on it and trying out the spectacles.
The event was graced by Mr. Yu Jai Sul, the Managing Director of Samsung Malaysia, who pointed out "As we enter a new era of immersive experience, Samsung has redefined the visual elements that make our TVs the centerpiece of any room". Although he is pointing the obvious, it cannot be denied that it is true that rarely does a house does not have a television. Even if you do not watch television, you will use it as a place for you to play video games in so many consoles and use it like I do, as a computer.
A launch gimmick follows with Mr Yu and Dato' Lee Chong Wei breaking a wall to show the new experience coming to your home and then we were presented with the new television and entertainment system.
It was quite impressive and you can just reach out and touch the persons inside the screen (Don't you just wish that?)
The 3D experience is thanks to Samsung 3D LED TVs with stunning clear 3D pictures with the world's best panel technology and proprietary image-improving techniques. The world's fastest unique double-rate frame transition technology reduces the picture frame transition by 50 percent to enhance the viewing quality of 3D content. There is also '3D' sound so that you will run aware scared when the goes in the television says "Bo!"

A soulful rendition of "I Must Have That Man," Billie Holiday's intimate crooning and impeccable timing doesn't disappoint. Lady Day confirms that, like her voice, heartbreak is timeless. Recorded in New York, early on in her career, you feel her personal tragedies in this gem. But, like Billie, the end of this sorrowful song is triumphant with a strong brass finish.
Son House, "Mississippi Country Farm Blues"
This scratchy copy of "Mississippi Country Farm Blues" is a window into Son's oppressive up bringing. A master at creating unusual chord structures, he uses his vocal and guitar to create moving double harmonies. Jack White of White Stripes fame dedicated the White Stripe's first album to Son House.
Charlie Spand, "Back To The Woods Blues"
Charlie Spand's notoriety stems from his genius in the boogie-woogie and barrelhouse style of piano. The first few bars of "Back to the Woods Blues" illustrates what Spand was best at, skillfully moving those fingers over the piano keys to make blues tunes that can't help but stir the heart. Ultimately, Charlie Spand is an elusive figure in blues history because no one knows much about his life, but what we are left with are 33 of the most wicked piano blues tracks to remember him by.

When Michelle, the creator of Maya reached out to me to collaborate, I could not say no. I'm the first to admit that I don't take great care of my hair and usually in the mornings, will just give it a brush and go. However, I always feel like my hair looks horrible, so I've been trying to use more products in it, and thought this would be the perfect opportunity! This creme basically promises to do it all - detangle, deep condition, define curls and repair...so naturally, I had to give it a go!

After my last mammoth of a post, I thought I'd post something a little shorter and sweeter today! I'm really obsessed with skincare at the moment because the condition of my skin is a huge problem for me - I have a really dry nose, and lots of red patchy bits. In my quest to take better care of my skin, I've found a fair few products I love, so here they are!

Ever since I was a wee little girl, caking Dream Matte Mousse onto my face
and lips, foundation has been the bane of my entire makeup life. There was actually a time when I'd avoid buying it because it was just such a pain. I've been through hundreds of foundations, never finding one that was the right shade for my skin or didn't make me look like I had some kind of disease. But recently, I seem to have found the right foundation for me, after five long years of looking like a hot mess. Along the way, I've picked up some tips on how to get the best foundation for you, so I thought I'd share them!

Today's post is the product of my frantic search for something a bit more fresh than a favourites post - but the truth is, it's really just a glorified one of them, which shows how imaginative I am! Nevertheless, I really wanted to talk about my month so here's my February Round Up, with details of what I've been loving, reading, doing and what's to come in March!

Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that.
Few people have read A Christmas Carol but almost everyone has encountered at least one of the many radio, theatre, television and film adaptations (the best of which, in my opinion, was done by the Muppets).
A Christmas Carol took Charles Dickens six weeks to write. He finished the novella in November 1843, just in time for Christmas and in the intervening 171 years it has never been out of print. Those who haven't read the novella are missing out; there's something wonderful about hearing Scrooge's story in Dickens' own words; in fact we can thank this particular novella for the popularisation of now famous phrases like, 'Merry Christmas' and 'Bah Humbug.'
A Christmas Carol is a classic ghost story. In the preface Dickens writes: 'I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it.' The story haunts 'pleasantly' because its focus is redemption, not revenge; the ghosts don't punish Scrooge, they highlight his mistakes and illustrate the inevitable outcome if he should fail to change. It's a tale of hope and a tribute to the tremendous power of imagination; Scrooge is finally moved to change once he is able to imagine a better way of living. The concerns of the novella – its condemnation of both greed and indifference to the plight of the working poor – remain topical and relevant today.
A Christmas Carol isn't a long read. Several years after publication Dickens performed the story to a crowd of 2,000 in Birmingham's town hall. The performance took less than three hours (including the part where he danced on his reading table). The novella is available at no cost on Kindle and it can also be read in its entirety online, however I suggest the following reading conditions for optimal enjoyment: a paper copy of the text, a comfy chair, the mantle of a dark, cold night (stormy or snowy weather may provide extra pleasure) a flickering candle or an open fire, and a large glass of something festive. Happy reading.

In 2015 just under 6 million children under the age of five died across the globe. Of these, about 2.6 million died within the first month of being born. And more than 60% of these deaths took place in Africa and South Asia. Just over a third of these babies died as a result of complications because they were born premature.
Prematurity is the most common cause of neonatal deaths globally. Babies are considered premature if they are born before the mother reaches 37 weeks of pregnancy.
In developed countries, the main causes of preterm deaths are well known and studied. Some babies develop infections, others have breathing problems such as birth asphyxia or lung immaturity. They also have feeding problems or experience metabolic and electrolyte disturbances and congenital malformations.
But in low resource countries, the causes of preterm deaths is much less understood. Anecdotal evidence from experts and clinicians in neonatal intensive care units is that infections such as neonatal sepsis and asphyxia are common. But there is no data to back this up.
It is therefore critical to identify the most "treatable and preventable" causes of death in low resource settings. These findings would help inform the tools and interventions that must be developed and included in national programmes to reduce neonatal mortality in the developing world.
Waves of protests have gripped Ethiopia since last November. In response the government has declared a six month state of emergency. In an interview with The Conversation Africa's Samantha Spooner, Asafa Jalata describes the impact of the state of emergency and what it could mean for the future of the country.
Who are the main players and what are the main grievances of the Ethiopian protest movement?
The Oromo protest movement emerged in November 2015. It has been fomenting for decades because the Oromo consider themselves colonial subjects. They are the largest ethno-national group in Ethiopia and have been denied equal access to their country's political, economic and cultural resources.
Carbon in the atmosphere is dangerous but in the soil it is beneficial. The environmental benefits of organic farming are closely connected to soil carbon. Carbon is the major constituent of soil organic matter, which is vital in holding moisture and plant foods in the soil.
Soil organic matter, when biologically active, is called colloidal humus. Farmers call this compost. It is what earthworms also produce from soil organic matter like dead plants, when soil conditions allow air into the soil. Under these conditions, the soil develops a crumb structure like fresh bread, and the beneficial microbes in the soil are able to thrive. This keeps pathogens that cause plant diseases under control.
For 100 years, organic farmers have been arguing that colloidal humus should be at the heart of agricultural production. It suppresses pathogens, supports beneficial soil microbes, holds soil moisture and keeps plant nutrients available to tiny plant feeder roots.
The word organic has nothing to do with organic chemistry even though carbon-rich soil organic matter is important to organic farming. Organic derives instead from the word organism. Organic farmers try to combine annual and perennial plants, animals, soil micro-organisms and human beings in an efficient, creative partnership.
Decades of discriminatory policies have left deep scars across South Africa's social landscape, creating one of the most unequal and polarised societies in the world. It's been 22 years since the party of Nelson Mandela came to power with a promise of reversing the racial deprivations. How successful has the ANC been?
Our study examines the enduring spatial and racial dimensions of poverty and deprivation in South Africa. We took a multidimensional approach to assess progress. This enabled us to reflect the reduction in deprivation attributable to the improved affordability and expanded coverage of government services.
Previous studies have tracked poverty trends over segments of the post-apartheid period. None have considered multidimensional deprivation over the past two decades. We developed a poverty index with nine dimensions of deprivation. These included education, employment, dwelling type, overcrowding, access to electricity, water, telephone, sanitation and refuse collection.
Using this multidimensional index as well as census data our analysis found that there was a remarkable improvement in deprivation levels between 1996 and 2011. There is evidence of redress taking place. But it also finds that geography and race continue to play an important role in explaining patterns of deprivation in the post-apartheid South Africa.

THE City of Windhoek has agreed to negotiate with a South African construction company fronted by a Namibian businessman to build 79 houses at Khomasdal.
Details about this deal are included in council documents made available to the public on Thursday.
The city directed its property management department to negotiate with the joint venture between South African construction firm Amibex and Oluzizi engineering and construction which is owned by businessman Simon 'Tupac' Andjamba. Even though this project is being lauded by some at the city for doing what the municipality ignored in many years by entering into building houses, there are questions on why the joint venture was hand-picked instead of a public tender in order to test the market for best deals and conditions. In this case, the joint venture made a presentation to council and won the deal to start negotiations, amid allegations that the joint venture won the race for this project because it has connections to a manager in the office of the mayor. In fact, documents show that the proposed negotiations come after the two companies paid an all expenses trip to South Africa on 15 to 16 September 2016 for city councillors Moses Shiikwa, Immanuel Paulus and Brumelda Cornelius to inspect the type of houses built by the company. The city's land delivery executive Steven Hochobeb and building inspector Israel Kahiurika were also part of the trip to the city of Tswane.

Pretoria – The South African Local Government Association (Salga) has joined the world in celebrating the World Cities Day 2016, which has been designated by the United Nations every 31 October.
Salga on Monday said World Cities Day was designated to promote the international community's interest in global urbanisation, and to push forward cooperation among countries in contributing to sustainable urban development around the world.
World Cities Day 2016 is celebrated under the theme 'Inclusive Cities, Shared Development', which highlights the important role of urbanisation as a source of global development and social inclusion.
"This year's theme is embraced by the action and implementation of the New Urban Agenda, which puts the topic of inclusive cities as one of the main pillars of the urban shift," said Salga.
Cities represent the most promising sites for governance reforms and innovation to tackle rising inequality, intensifying environmental stress and vulnerability, the continued economic crisis, increasing conflict and unprecedented technological opportunity.
"Throughout the world, cities are growing at an exponential rate. As complexities grow, Salga is assisting municipalities to become smart cities, to be more critical and fully grasp the challenges and opportunities presented by urbanisation.
"Helping municipalities to develop their capacities to innovate, share best practices and knowledge management is part of Salga's mandate," said the association.
Salga national chairperson Parks Tau was recently elected to the Presidency of the United Cities and Local Government (UCLG), the global representative voice of organised local government.
UCLG is a significant player on the global stage and is poised to become even more important in relation to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals 2030.

There are a number of inconvenient truths about South Africa's ongoing #FeesMustFall protests that remain under-stated, or at worst unstated.
High on the under-stated list is the fact that freezing fees, or abolishing them, will make the current higher education system benefit richer South Africans even more than it already does. This has been pointed out and has previously been acknowledged by the government. Tied to this is the fact that, despite statements to the contrary, the country's poor are not the real priority of the student movement.
There are two further issues that have received little attention. The first is that the majority of young South Africans are being failed by the government and society at large. This begins long before they reach university. The second is that when commenting on how much the government spends on higher education there is too much reliance on "percentage of GDP" as an economic metric, when it is actually nonsensical as a basis for allocating public finances.

In a unanimous judgement, the Constitutional Court recently ordered the Govan Mbeki Municipality in Mpumalanga to have meaningful engagement with 200 families it had twice tried to evict in 2013.
The 200 families were living in shacks on agricultural land owned by the municipality. They had been on the waiting list for municipal housing since 2002. Many had been renting private dwellings at a cost above their means, and were subject to sudden and arbitrary evictions.
In September 2013, the municipality evicted the families and demolished their homes. Without a place to stay, the families moved into a community hall and then to a primary school. During this time, they repeatedly attempted to meet with officials.
In May 2014, the homeless residents took occupation of another piece of municipal land, earmarked for a new pre-primary school.
The municipality sought a court eviction order and an interdict to prevent the residents from erecting structures. It also sought a rule nisi which would mean they could obtain an interim order against the residents. This order could be obtained without giving the residents notice of the application or an opportunity to come before the court until the order had already been granted.
The PIE Act
The Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act 1998 (PIE Act) seeks to ensure fair evictions by regulating how people who are occupying land unlawfully or without the consent of the owners of land are evicted.
PIE requires the court to only grant an eviction order if it is just and equitable after considering all relevant factors - including the rights of elderly people, children, disabled people and households headed by women.

The government, through the Institute of National Museums, has been trying to preserve natural and cultural sites, but some people believe that the government has turned a blind eye on historical structures as they are facing destruction or renovation that would leave no trace of history.
This is due to the bid to improve cities that comes along with crackdown on old and outdated structures. Some structures that depict history of the country in different sectors might face extinction.
There is a debate on whether these structures should be preserved to tell the history or be eliminated and give way to modern structures.

Gov. Samuel Ortom of Benue on Saturday flagged off the construction of a N38 billion cargo airport at Dauda in Guma Local Government Area of the state.
Ortom said the project would provide a platform for quick evacuation of farm produce from the state to markets abroad.
According to him, the effort would be beneficial to rural farmers, boost agricultural activities and cut post harvest losses.

Access to digital information and communications technologies has increased dramatically over the past decade across Africa. In Tanzania, 87% of urban residents report using a mobile phone every day. In addition, 34% of the population access the internet. The vast majority use their mobile phones to do so.
Prepaid bundles offered by service providers have made data more affordable. They sometimes include free access to social media platforms for subscribers.
Africa's "mobile revolution" has generated much debate about the potential for new technologies to contribute to economic development, improve service delivery and foster political change. The World Bank's 2016 World Development Report, for example, explores the relationship between "digital dividends" and development.
However, widening access to technological innovations can also expose people to risks. Governments across the region are debating how to respond to new challenges. These include online fraud and the dissemination of hate speech through SMS or social media.
Protecting and growing the formal economy is important. But so too is changing it in ways which enable many more to enjoy its benefits. This was the most important message in Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan's Medium Term Budget Policy statement.
Since there seems to be some confusion on what this statement is meant to do, it is worth pointing out that it is not a "mini-budget". It is a statement of broad budget policy, whose details are filled in by the annual budget speech. So its impact should not be judged on whether it provided a detailed account of government tax and spending plans but on whether the approach it spells out is what the economy needs.
To illustrate this, the speech made it clear that student protests have pushed higher education to the front of the spending queue (confirming that inevitable political reality, that those who shout loudest usually manage to push to the front of the spending line). But it also seemed to confirm that free tertiary education for all is not on the cards: this is a broad policy goal so, if the government had embraced it, it would have said so.
Looking at the speech as a broad priority-setting exercise, it does meet the demands of the hour –- although it is not yet clear how the National Treasury hopes to turn intention into reality.
South Africa's minister of finance, Pravin Gordhan, presented the 2016 mid term budget in a politically toxic and economically challenging environment. The Conversation Africa business and economy editor Sibonelo Radebe asked Fatima Bhoola about key highlights of the speech.
What is your general impression of the medium term budget speech?
This certainly has to rank as one of the most difficult speeches the minister has had to deliver to date. Despite the controversy related to the allegations brought against him by the National Prosecuting Authority, his speech was promising in trying to meet some of the key economic challenges faced by the country.
South Africa faces a myriad of challenges. These include near zero growth in output, political uncertainty, inflation that has breached the upper limit of the country's inflation target, and a possible credit downgrade.
Could he have done better and how?
Bushmeat trade is a regular feature in many parts of Africa. People rely on it for livelihoods and, more importantly, for food. Trade in bushmeat is particularly common in west and central Africa where people regularly eat antelope, wild pigs and boars, large rodents, fruit bats and monkeys.
But bushmeat presents a problem for public health. Research has linked the consumption of bushmeat to the Ebola outbreak that spread across west African countries in 2014 and 2015, and led to over 11 000 deaths. According to most authorities fruit bats were involved in the contagion.
Since the Ebola outbreak has been brought under control a number of governments in countries affected by Ebola have launched massive media and propaganda campaigns to curb the consumption of bushmeat. These include Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria. The campaigns have included distributing information door-to-door as well as promotions on radio, newspapers and television.

The Networking Hub within the Summit of Local and Regional Leaders in Bogotá became the perfect platform for the launch of the Public Space Framework by and for Local Governments.
Sibusiso Sithole, the City Manager of eThekwini Municipality, Cézar Busatto, head of the Secretariat for Local Governance of the City of Porto Alegre and Miguel Uribe Turbay, Government Secretary of Bogotá were in charge of the presentation of the framework, while Adrian Michael Peters, Chief Strategy Officer of eThekwini Municipality moderated the event.
The UCLG World Secretariat celebrated the 3rd Learning Forum in the framework of the World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders that took place in Bogotá in October 2016. As it was the case in previous occasions members and partners gathered to work collaboratively on the UCLG Learning Agenda for cities, local and regional governments.
The Summit was a unique opportunity to explore diverse learning methodologies and further develop a common understanding of the importance of learning, as well as, the challenges we face as a learning network and the link to decentralized cooperation. Deriving from the discussions and the collective work with members and partners, the UCLG Learning Agenda was further shaped and some main learning activities were programed to be developed during 2017.
In total six sessions comprised the 3rd Learning Forum and four different methodologies were tested: world café, temporary think-thank, gallery of good practices and peer review:

More than 3 000 families were left homeless yesterday after their houses built on land belonging to BAK Storage Company along Harare-Masvingo Road were razed to the ground by the Sheriff following a High Court order to evict the illegal occupiers. The houses were built on 70 hectares of land belonging to the storage company.
Heart rending scenes were the order of the day as hapless residents watched their houses being pulled down to the ground. Those that delayed removing their property were counting their loses yesterday afternoon as bulldozers knocked down the structures along with their contents. Some of the residents were seen hastily removing some valuables such as doors, door frames and roofing sheets before the bulldozers flattened the structures.

On World Cities Day, as the world organization which brings together the highest number of local and regional governments from around the world and which has been bringing this group's voices to the global debate for decades, UCLG reaffirms the commitment of the level of government closest to the people to co-creating inclusive and sustainable cities.
Following the recently adopted Urban Agenda at Habitat III and the document adopted in Bogotá during the World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders, local elected officials and local government professionals representing metropolitan governments, intermediary and peripheral cities, small towns and regional authorities have shown the world their commitment to co-creating our cities together with states, the international community and civil society with the sharing of responsibilities and resources.
