We need to build back a better Nepal with disabled people
Nepal is not Haiti. The scale of the earthquake is of course very different. Around 8,800 people were killed in the first quake of 25 April, and a further hundred in the second quake in May. In Haiti the numbers reached 200,000 including many senior civil servants which effectively meant that large parts of the government became dysfunctional or non-existent. This is not at all the case in Nepal where the government is clearly structured and very active in the earthquake response, working alongside agencies such as CBM to distribute emergency relief as well as post-emergency non-food items such as tarpaulins, sanitary kits and corrugated iron sheeting. However, people with disabilities are disproportionately affected at times of crisis and my time spent in Nepal demonstrates clearly how the often sporadic and uneven response often fails to reach those who need it most.
I am wandering through the rubble strewn streets of Bhaktapur with social worker Pramita. We pass a line of people waiting for government relief who have been standing in the sun for several hours. At the front of the queue, the crowd at the kiosk window is 3 people thick and I try to imagine how someone with reduced mobility or a wheelchair user would be able to get to the front. "What happens if someone can't come to collect relief supplies themselves?" I ask, thinking of others in more remote rural areas who may live several hours walk from anywhere accessible by road. "They ask a relative or neighbour to come for them, " Pramita replies. "What happens if the relative or neighbour was killed or injured themselves, or is unable to spare so much time?" I ask. She sighs. "Then they might miss out," she admits.
I learn more about the reality of this when I visit CBM partner, the National Federation of the Disabled Nepal (NFDN), an umbrella organisation representing a network of disability-specific bodies. The National President, Shudarson Subedi, describes story after story from these member organisations describing people with disabilities who were often just not aware of relief opportunities available, or unable to reach the distribution points which were many hours down steep hillsides.
NFDN has responded to this in a range of ways, including a project to introduce radio and SMS alerts to ensure those with hearing or sight impairment are aware of all rehabilitation opportunities. However, their most powerful approach has been in finding a stronger voice in the country's rehabilitation efforts, working closely with the government to ensure that the "building back better" efforts are inclusive not only of people with disabilities but are inclusive of all those with specific and needs. In addition, they are helping to increase the extent to which people with disabilities are active participants in the decision making about reconstruction of health, education and livelihood systems and structures.
The next day I visit new CBM partner, the Spinal Injury Rehabilitation Centre in Kavre, which normally caters to around 40 patients with spinal cord injuries but is currently housing 110. To cope with this dramatic increase in numbers, CBM is supporting the hospital with emergency wheelchairs and anti-pressure sore cushions for earthquake affected patients. SIRC Director, Esha Thapa, explains that they might normally expect a patient to spend 3-6 months with them undergoing surgery and then extensive therapy and rehabilitation. However, with only 10 occupational therapists in the whole country, the rehabilitation phase is likely to take longer for so many new patients. SIRC would also expect to carry out around 50 home modifications in a year, but 90% of the patients who have been admitted with earthquake injuries have lost their homes.
We visit the stepdown facilities – huge tents erected in the hospital grounds – which allow those who have received surgery and rehabilitation at the hospital but who are not quite ready to leave the hospital. They can spend two weeks staying in the tents, being observed as they learn new ways of coping with daily tasks. The burden of this sudden physical trauma and the aftercare is a heavy burden not only on the injured person but also on their family or friends who stay with them at the hospital as primary carer. Esha describes one patient brought in by her neighbour who was forced to discharge herself far too early because the neighbour's husband wanted her at home. Another left hospital before receiving any of her physical therapy treatment plan because she was frightened of missing out on the relief materials being distributed in her village.
But some are there for the longer term. One young boy was carried by his neighbours from the ruins of his collapsed house in which his parents were killed. But with no family and no home to return him to, they were unwilling to take him back once his treatment had been completed. Another man, having seen the photographs of his own destroyed house and the devastation of most of his village, had no desire at all to go home.
CBM has been working with local partners in Nepal for 30 years and the CBM country office and emergency response unit were able to respond within hours of the earthquake starting. CBM will be there not just for the weeks and months that follow the earthquake but, continuing to work through local partners and influence the government, for the years that will be needed to ensure that the post-emergency response and the rebuilding of the country's structures and systems are inclusive.
More about CBM's emergency response in Nepal
We will Rise Again – Nepal Earthquake
On 4th June I travelled to Nepal to join CBM's team of local staff and emergency response specialists, who have been working since the devastating earthquake on April 25th to ensure that people with disabilities and injuries receive the help they need. Here is my first blog from Nepal, after a very moving day in Bhaktapur.
This ancient city lies nine miles east of Kathmandu. At its heart lie four connected courtyards containing some of Nepal's most famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, many of which were damaged or destroyed by the earthquake that shook Nepal on 25 April 2015. In the main Durbar Square, around the base of one of the damaged temples, is an exhibition of photos of some of those who lost their lives, either because they were unlucky enough to live in old or poorly constructed homes or caught by the falling masonry in the web of narrow streets that characterise the area. Many of the photos show the faces of elderly men and women, or very young children, both groups disproportionately affected by natural disasters, but there are also faces of many other people, caught indiscriminately by either the first quake, or the one that followed two weeks later on May 12.
In one picture, a teenage girl in school uniform smiles shyly at the camera. Just a few yards away, a group of girls and boys of around her age are donning hard hats and picking up shovels before dividing into teams and heading off in different directions. Their matching t-shirts declare them to be members of the local community who are volunteering in street clearing initiatives. This is one of the worst hit areas of the city and the lanes are still clogged with rubble, sometimes piled under the eaves of damaged houses, sometimes still filling the street so that you need to scramble over to get through. Despite other parts of Kathmandu being almost untouched, here there is not a road or side street which remains untouched. Everything is covered with a thin film of dust, and the few shopkeepers who have ventured to open up again, busy themselves continuously with dusters and rags.
I am with Pramita Shrestha, a social worker from KOSHISH, a CBM local partner that offers psychosocial counselling and trauma care in the Bhaktapur District. Pramita describes the additional support the psychologists and counsellors are providing, not only for those with mental health problems that they were already supporting, but also to an estimated 3,500 earthquake survivors who will need psychosocial support over the next few months. This is one of the less visible after-effects of a disaster of this scale but one which touches on the lives of so many survivors. Schools have just reopened again and we are passed by rows of neat white shirts and royal blue skirts, matching ribbons bouncing above – but numbers are down as many children are too anxious to leave their parents, too scared to enter the school building or, with the many aftershocks still being experienced, too sleep-deprived to function well. People have also started to return to work where they can, or to the social activities they used to enjoy and we see a few small groups of men on the verandas of undamaged houses playing cards or board games, while women sit in twos and threes knitting. But there are also those who sit in their doorways staring into space, and KOSHISH is reporting new cases every day of people of all ages struggling to come to terms with what has happened. Sadly for all those that come, as many remain unwilling to seek treatment for any kind of mental health condition which remains widely misunderstood and taboo in Nepal, as in many places.
We come across a single house collapsed among a row of otherwise intact buildings. Further along, two stories of a house withno side wall stand open to the air, as if a huge serrated knife has sliced vertically through the building. As we approach, we see two figures rolling brick pieces down a corrugated iron sheet propped against the wall. On every street we come to, similar activity is beginning to take place. People on rooftops, shovelling debris. People pushing wheelbarrows of dust out of alleyways or carrying piles of bricks to the truck that cannot make its way down the blocked streets where life has started to go on once again. Around the next corner, we come across a slogan daubed on a partially collapsed wall, "We will rise again". Later someone walks past with this printed on a t-shirt.
The photos in Durbar Square are one of the ways that the city is mourning its loss and it will take decades before the country is close to full recovery. But this slogan has started to appear across the city and perfectly reflects the resilience of a nation that is already working hard to pick itself up and move forward. KOSHISH was there in the days immediately following the earthquake, providing psychological first aid as vital as the bandages being so much more visibly applied, and it will continue to support for the long term the efforts of the Bhaktapur community to "rise again".
Inclusive humanitarian response – change is coming!
I arrived in Nepal on May 12th, some hours after the massive aftershock that caused more casualties and a number of additional damages to properties and infrastructure.
I could see in the faces of people how their lives were shaken again, and how they didn't see where and how to ensure the safety of themselves and their families. My first night in Kathmandu was broken by a number of aftershocks that woke me up and made me run outside in search of safety.
Though earthquakes are not new to me, every time it makes me realise how frightening they are, bringing a feeling of helplessness.
Three weeks later, life has become quasi-normal in Kathmandu, with its traffic jams, crowds in the street, shops and restaurants all open. If you don't travel to affected areas you won't see that two major earthquakes hit the city only few weeks back. Though people are still talking a lot about them and every day small aftershocks remind all of us that it has happened.
Working with partners – ensuring inclusion
It's been three weeks of working with partners to provide support to the most affected people, to raise awareness about persons with disabilities and older people and to make sure that all of them are included and have equal access to relief, despite the challenges posed by isolated and remote villages and the upcoming rainy season.
Our partners are doing a great job to save lives and contribute to the effort made to assist people in need through trauma care and rehabilitation, organising medical outreach camps, providing psychosocial support – trying to help people to regain independence and normality in their lives. However, we still hear stories from persons with disabilities and older people not being able to access distribution points and being left behind – unintentionally – by relief stakeholders. It is a hard job to reach out to the most at-risk, as often they are not informed, cannot reach the front of the queue and their voices are not heard.
What would you do?
What would you do to find food if you are an 80 year-old man living more than a three-hour walk far from the main road and next city? You will walk downhill, hoping to access a relief package, and then find out that you have to carry a 30 kg bag back uphill …and that you can't do it. You will seek support, but all other people are also too busy trying to survive to help you.
What would you do if you are a blind person trying to find out where distributions are happening and how to access them, only to discover that you have to compete to be front of the queue as there are not enough supplies for all? Obviously you'll be at a disadvantage, and most likely you'll lose out.
What would you do if you are a deaf person, having been transferred by helicopter to Kathmandu for trauma care and have no clue of what is happening to you as no one can communicate with you?
These are only few stories, but many more like this are reported every day…
It is great that donors and organisations are moving towards inclusive policies and frameworks, but exclusion happens on the field. What would you do if you were that relief worker and have limited aid to distribute? Field workers must be supported to turn inclusive policies into inclusive humanitarian action.
Advocating for inclusion
CBM works with our partner the National Federation of Disabled in Nepal (NFDN), supporting them to identify persons with disability and older people and assess their needs to then mobilise humanitarian stakeholders to respond to them. It is very encouraging as many of these organisations are willing to make the extra effort, but lack knowledge or information to ensure inclusion.
Bhojraj Ghimire, CIL Kathmandu (checked shirt) takes part in the workshop on disability inclusion organised by CBM and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) in Kathmandu
Early last week I gave a two-hour orientation on disability inclusion to Red Cross staff, and the head of the delegation said:
"The Red Cross movement was created to help the most difficult to reach and the ones who couldn't care for themselves, and yet in our response we reach only the easy one. We need to make the extra effort to access all those who are living in remote areas, who are facing barriers to access relief and whose rights we should protect."
Well, this kind of statement and willingness to walk the extra miles is very encouraging as it will support the relief worker to pay attention and develop the mechanisms to help the older man to carry home his 30 Kg of goods, the blind person to find the distribution point and be in front of the queue or the deaf person to access a sign language interpreter to understand what is happening to him and get news from his family.
I will travel back to Europe soon but I'm confident that our partners will continue to raise their voices and to make them heard by all. Change is coming!

The Benefits of Hormone Therapy for Women with Alzheimer's
One of the causes for the onset of Alzheimer's disease is thought to be an imbalance of hormones, but BioTE® Medical has developed an Alzheimer's remedy that can put those hormones back in balance. Your local Certified BioTE Provider can help you understand how our hormone therapy can provide symptom relief to you or a loved one. Our Alzheimer's remedy has been a crucial component of Alzheimer's therapy for many women that have relied on our services, and your local Certified BioTE Provider can provide you with the same treatment. Read more about the symptoms of this disease and how Alzheimer's therapy in the form of hormonal supplementation may be able to help below.
What Is Alzheimer's Disease?
Alzheimer's disease is a disorder that is essentially a tissue connective disorder in which the neural cells within the brain degenerate and die, taking the memories they have built over a lifetime with them. BioTE Medical's therapy can potentially help relieve some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease with our revolutionary Alzheimer's hormone therapy. Alzheimer's therapy for women can be complicated, but BioTE is here to make the process go as smoothly as possible.
What Are the Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease?
- Confusion
- Misplacing objects
- Sudden agitation
- Excessive forgetfulness
- Jumbled speech
- A loss of appetite
- Restlessness
These symptoms characterize early Alzheimer's disease. . These occurrences may increase in frequency as the disease progresses. In women, agitation and anger may present less readily than in men with Alzheimer's. People with Alzheimer's disease may repeat their own words, and the words of others, without associated meaning. Confusion also may increase during the evening hours. Eventually as the disease progresses, the sufferer may be unable to form new memories or perform basic day-to-day adult living functions on their own. If you or a loved one are searching for an Alzheimer's remedy that can help combat the symptoms of this debilitating disease, know that BioTE Medical has developed an Alzheimer's remedy that can potentially relieve these symptoms.
What is BioTE's Alzheimer's Remedy?
Alzheimer's therapy in the form of hormone pellets may be able to reduce the impact of Alzheimer's in women by treating the cause, which may be hormonal imbalance. Though it is important to note that there are also potentially genetic and situational components that impact the likelihood and progression of the Alzheimer's. Older people with little stimulation, such as those with a smaller social circle or less familial support, may have less resiliency against the disease and may succumb more quickly to its progression, but BioTE's Alzheimer's therapy for women may be able to help. Our Alzheimer's therapy for women can restore a patient's hormone balance, providing symptom relief.
How Can I Get Started with Alzheimer's Therapy for Women?
Getting started with hormone therapy for you or someone you love begins with locating the BioTE Provider nearest you. Simply look at our Find a Provider tool on our website and search for your city, state or zip code.
There are thousands of Certified BioTE Providers in the United States. With so many Alzheimer's therapy providers from which to choose, it is likely that there will be a high-quality Alzheimer's hormone therapy provider available in your area.
Alzheimer's therapy can help relieve the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, so reach out today to get started pursuing a new path of treatment for you or your loved one!

In the 1992 film of Tom Clancy's Patriot Games, CIA analyst Jack Ryan, played by Harrison Ford, watches from a remote command post as an attack on a terrorist camp is carried out. The thermal imagery is broadcast on a giant screen, and even though the details are nothing more than pixels on a screen, Ryan is shocked by the matter-of-fact dismissal of life.
Ever since reporters became imbedded, the way we see war has changed dramatically. Once images from Vietnam flashed across our television screens, we went from casual observer to armchair military analyst. With each new skirmish we found ourselves closer to the action, seeing, hearing and virtually experiencing the horrors and heroics. Cell phones, the Internet, and satellites combined to make the experience even more personal.
So how does Jarhead fit into the scheme of things? Following a platoon of Marines as they participate in the Gulf War, Jarhead is well made and features earnest performances. What it lacks is a voice, a reason for being. Based on Anthony Swofford's less-than-flattering expose, the screenplay by William Broyles Jr. has been boiled down to a conventional tale of Marines being Marines.
The problem is director Sam Mendes (American Beauty) sees every exchange of dialogue as high drama, something one would expect from a noted stage director. Common, everyday exchanges between characters might work on stage, but in Jarhead they feel forced and contrived. The cast is to be congratulated for not allowing drama to become melodrama, an easy slip when dealing with overly familiar material.
Jarhead could have been the right movie at the right time, a mirror of the current political climate, but the filmmakers seem more interested in setting up the dominos rather than knocking them down. An occasional white cap of dissension surfaces above this ocean of military movie cliches, but Mendes quickly navigates the film to calm waters. Why create strong characters and then turn them into political mimes?
To diffuse the situation, Mendes and Broyles Jr. hide behind the military code of conduct, which punishes anyone who speaks out against the institution or its Commander in Chief. It's a tough lesson learned by Marine sniper Anthony Swofford (Jake Gyllenhaal), whose stint in the Gulf is filled with tedium. Anxious to be part of a precision killing machine, Swofford is disappointed to learn the Gulf War is more about oil than killing people.
Films tackling war are usually about battle and conflict, but Jarhead is more concerned about the battle raging inside the mind of Swofford. Stuck in the middle of hell, forced to wear anti-gas suits elevating body temperature above 118 degrees, unable to enjoy the comforts of home, it's a tough nut to crack without going nuts. Fighting the good cause takes a back seat to boredom, and while these soldiers make the best of a bad situation, it's not enough to make us care.
Why? Too much blood has been spilled since the flag-waving days of the John Wayne war film for us to connect with a movie afraid to take sides. We don't sit through war films for entertainment, we endure them for the experience, but when the experience becomes diluted, we're left with nothing more than good intentions.
Jarhead, like Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, would have benefitted from a largely unknown cast. Seeing famous faces playing soldier brings back bad memories of George W. Bush standing on the deck of an aircraft carrier in a flight suit. It just doesn't work. Kubrick was aware familiarity bred contempt and hired unknowns to play recruits. We connected with the characters on their level.
The stars of Jarhead, Gyllenhaal, Jamie Foxx, Peter Sarsgaard, Chris Cooper, have all done excellent work but like Bush, look like they're playing soldier. Remember the first time we encountered R. Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket? Because we was unfamiliar with his work, he scared us as much as his recruits. Nothing in Jarhead comes close to recreating that authority.

Wiring A Ceiling Light Fan - If you want this picture please proper click on and keep the image, thank you for visiting this website, we offer lots of alternatives associated with fan wiring diagram inspirational ceiling mild 3 new hunter pics for you, do no longer hesitate to come back lower back. Disconnect the fixture wires and dispose of the vital mounting nut and any screws that hold the old fixture in vicinity. With the fixture out of the way, try to decide whether the electrical container is securely fixed to a ceiling joist or assist bracket. Fanatics can weigh up to 50 pounds and require a strong mount. In case your ceiling container is enclosed by way of drywall or other fabric, you could want to get right of entry to the joists from above, together with thru the attic, to look at it and fix a aid brace if needed. Alternative installation techniques are defined below.
Most lovers are controlled with the aid of a rheostat-type wall switch that allows for basic on/off and fan velocity operation. With a view to reverse the route of the fan, to flow into warmer air near the ceiling all through wintry weather months, homeowners have to manually perform a reversing switch located at the fan housing. This technique also may be used to mount a fan on a ceiling wherein no electric fixture changed into formerly established. After a hollow is cut inside the ceiling, electrical wiring is routed to the hollow from a handy close by junction field, then the brace and a new ceiling field are established as defined above.
The bigger the room, the bigger the fan. Measure the longest wall in the room. If it's far less than 12 feet, you'll want a fan that is 36-inches in diameter. If the longest wall is 12 to 15 feet, get a forty two-inch fan. Whatever over 15 ft, you'll need a 52-inch fan. Before you install a brand new wall switch on your unit, recheck the prevailing switch wiring with a circuit tester to make sure the power is off. Installation the fan control switch in step with the manufacturer's commands.

Just recently, USA produced Colostrum went up in cost nearly 300% due to human market products consumption. We are trying to absorb as much cost on this increase as possible but still have the product available to our customers. We will adjust pricing as soon as the market allows.
Colostrum is a nutrient-rich fluid produced by female mammals immediately after giving birth and is loaded with immune, growth and tissue repair factors. Bovine colostrum, a raw material for immune milk preparations, can be used to treat or prevent infections of the gastrointestinal tract. This product from USA is from pasture fed cows and is pesticide, antibiotic and hormone free.
Colustrum is only produced by a cow for the newborn calf's first few feedings.
FIRST milking ONLY after birth of calf - not second or third milking as other brands.
NOTE - This first milking procurement is a very labor intensive, expensive gathering process to get the first milk produced moments after a calf is born. The colostrum company must travel to each birth to collect it, thus the high cost of true, quality Colostrum.

Suggested Usage for Dogzymes Colostrum:
Feed at the rate of 1/4 teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight daily.
Powder stirs in food or cereal or dissolves to use orally.
A 1 pound jar contains about 240 teaspoons and will last a 40 pound dog about 6 months.

58 days after the accident, we are home.
David starts his out patient rehab on Friday. Between now and then we have several things to take care of, but, for now, we just want to relax and be together.
We want to thank everyone for all their help, thoughts, and prayers. You all mean so very much to us. Family and friends are true blessings.

Why everyone in your team needs digital skills. There is no doubt that we live…
Why Employee Culture Should Form the Fabric of Your Small Business
We're all familiar with the "culture is everything" paradigm, but from my experience in launching a Small Business, culture is key when it comes to fostering employee productivity and retention. If you want to keep great staff, it's up to you to create an environment that motivates them.
From standing desks, to dual working stations, daily lunches, to flexible working hours, I've worked tirelessly to create a unique company culture and the outcome has been highly rewarding.
Investing in your people is one of the best business decisions you'll ever make. My crew are the fabric of my business, the cornerstone of my success, and every business owner's greatest asset.
Each day I provide my 66 local staff at finder.com.au with a nutritious lunch and unlimited access to drinks and snacks (not to mention activities such as Boxing Class Mondays and the occasional off-site game of bubble soccer!). Whether it's Italian, Vietnamese or gourmet paninis, we like to spice things up with a different menu each day.
On the surface, giving away free things may not seem like the wisest move from a cashflow perspective, but when the result is satisfied, creative and resourceful employees, providing employee perks can go a long way in creating a strong team that will deliver results (and actually stick around).
When estimating the cost of this 'freebie', including costs per person and time saved in transit per day, we have a return on investment (ROI) between 50-60%. Not too shabby for an investment of roughly $15 per head per day.
After introducing free lunches, productivity has grown exponentially while "sickies" are non-existent (I mean, who would want to miss fresh juice Wednesdays?!). Employee benefits are a vital component in contemporary business so find ways to motivate your staff. Whether it's through employee reward programs, regular feedback or team-building activities, you can be sure that it's money well spent.
Our company's human resources (HR) team is dedicated to managing all things People and Culture. With strict hiring criteria, onboarding processes and regular training sessions such as media training, public speaking and program training sessions, we invest in the personal development of each of our staff to ensure they know they are valued.
We have regular company presentations where we get each team leader to present on the main projects they've been working on as well as any wins or challenges that they've faced over the past 60 days. By updating employees with company news, we encourage cross-team collaboration with a "OneCrew" mentality.
Motivate your crew and cherish them and you'll find yourself surrounded with an ambitious team that will realise your company vision. However, keep in mind that this is a constantly evolving process. As the team grows, the little things you did before will need to be scaled and tweaked in order to be effective.
