From the Board
Wendy Ruona, AHRD Past President
On behalf of the AHRD Board of Directors, we invite you to do a bit of pre-work leading into the 2019 Research Conference in the Americas (February 13-16, 2019 in Louisville, KY).
As you hopefully will notice from the details about the Keynote presentation and the Town Hall Forum session, both sessions will focus on the big idea of transdisciplinarity. The AHRD Board has worked hard in the past few years to deeply consider and boldly envision the future of HRD (and related professions/fields adjacent to us), involving a great deal of learning through literature review, data collection from AHRD members and other critical stakeholders, and a large-group intervention in February 2018, with approximately 75 leaders of our AHRD community. One of the implications of this strategy work has been a growing belief that our collective future—the work and processes that we focus on as HRD researchers and professionals—will ask all of us to move towards a transdisciplinary future.
The challenge now is to delve deeper into this idea of transdisciplinarity, and to figure out what that really means for the future of AHRD. And this leads me to a challenge for you. AHRD is no more than our community—the people who comprise this organization. AHRD can only move towards a transdisciplinary future if the members of the AHRD choose to do so, too. Board members, conference organizers, session organizers and hosts, Special Interest Group (SIG) leaders, and more can all raise the questions and stimulate thinking about these ideas. But, ultimately, a transdisciplinary future will only emerge if AHRD members lead the way and choose to enact and work towards it. You, along with a majority of our members, will need to believe that it's strategically important for your own work and the contributions you wish to make to the knowledge base that informs the work in the long run to move outside of our traditional disciplinary silos and engage new, broader, and deeper levels of integration across and beyond traditional professional/disciplinary boundaries. Otherwise, transdisciplinarity will be nothing more than an espoused notion that we kicked about for a while.
So, the pre-work I challenge you to do prior to our conference next month is to think deeply about this idea of transdisciplinarity. Maybe do some reading and research about it and how it's different from interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary. Perhaps talk to others in your network about these ideas. Then, for those of you participating in the conference in February, come ready to share what you've learned, to offer suggestions about what others could read to grow their knowledge, and to generatively input your informed perspectives and opinions in the conversations that will surely emerge from our stimulating all-conference sessions. If you are unable to be at the conference in February, please share your ideas about this with any of the AHRD Board members before or after the conference.
I believe that the AHRD Board will only be able to outline a compelling path forward for a sustainable future for AHRD if we learn from you, our members, about whether transdisciplinarity is something you value and what it means to you. I look forward to the conversations and learning!

Announcing the 2019 AHRD Town Hall Forum
Sustainability through Transdisciplinarity
We see an ever-increasing move toward inter- and trans-disciplinary attacks upon problems in the real world ... The system scientist has a central role to play in this new order, and that role is to first of all understand ways and means of how to encode the natural world into "good" formal structures. – John Casti, Mathematician, Author, Entrepreneur
During 2018 when AHRD celebrated its 25th anniversary, a think tank was held with key stakeholders to envision what the next 25 years might look like. Several scenarios were examined, and overwhelmingly, the participants supported a future in which AHRD is interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary. What does this mean for AHRD and its mission to be a community of professionals who create and apply research to build human, organizational, and social capacity to learn, change, and thrive? The short answer is we need to broaden our constituency and create partnerships with like-minded professions. The 2019 conference will build on the theme of transdisciplinarity with a preconference, keynote, and Town Forum. The Town Forum is AHRD's traditional kickoff to the conference where key issues of the day are examined. The purpose of the 2019 Town Forum is to bring professionals from diverse, compatible fields to help us muse on the issues related to becoming more inter- or trans-disciplinary.

Vietnam Will Host 2019 AHRD International Research Conference: Save the Date!
Welcome to Hanoi in the world's fifth fastest growing economy, Vietnam, for the 2019 AHRD International Research Conference! Mark your calendars now for November 5-8.
Foreign Trade University (FTU), the leading university in Vietnam, is delighted to invite you to attend the 18th Asian 2019 Academy of Human Resource Development International Research Conference (AHRD 2019 Vietnam). The conference is supported by some of Vietnam's large corporations, including Viettel, FPT, and others.
You will have the opportunity to explore Vietnam, with numerous top tourist attractions and rapidly growing businesses. The theme will be Human Resource Development: Innovations and Evolution in the Digital Era. AHRD 2019 Vietnam will open the venue for sharing thinking and practices on HRD foundations to unfold human resources in the promising land of Vietnam in particular and Asia, as well as globally.
The conference will be an important platform to discuss and evaluate how global digitalization and so many other factors impact HRD practices for organizational learning, performance, and sustainable development.
Given Asia's increasing importance in the world and Vietnam's emerging market in Asia, this HRD research conference will navigate HRD research and practices, with innovations, change, and performance laying the groundwork for further discussion of national HRD. Such foundations include training and development, learning and performance, diversity and inclusion, leadership development, digitalization development, and education.
These foundations are reflected in the ten conference tracks: 1) national, regional, and international HRD; 2) HRD and sustainable development; 3) leadership development; 4) workplace learning and training and development; 5) career development; 6) organization development and performance; 7) HRD and education; 8) corporate social responsibility and ethics in HRD; 9) information and communication technology and HRD; and 10) emerging issues and innovations in HRD (such as critical HRD, diversity and inclusion, gender, cross-cultural HRD, theory development, and so on).
The conference agenda will include pre-conferences, plenary sessions (including keynotes and a Vietnam NHRD panel), concurrent presentations, networking activities, a cultural tour, a gala event, and so on. All have been designed to create conditions for HRD scholarship and practice to take roots in Vietnam and Asia and provide a forum for participants to discuss HRD innovations and evolution in the digital era; at the same time, effectively linking HRD research to practice.
To be held in Hanoi, the capital city, also a political and economic hub in Vietnam, which is surrounded by satellite economic centers, the conference provides participants with extra activities, including exchanging information and networking with international experts, local governmental officials, and leaders of international and local corporations. Charming Hanoi has aged well, preserving the Old Quarter, monuments, and colonial architecture, while facilitating modern development. Additionally, the conference serves as an excellent opportunity for all participants to explore a dynamic culture and a rich history of the capital city that will celebrate its 20th anniversary of being recognized as a City for Peace by UNESCO.
As a part of the agenda, there will be a visit to Ha Long Bay in the Gulf of Tonkin, also a UNESCO world heritage site. There are over 1,600 islands and islets, many of which are almost uninhabited and unaffected by human presence. Ha Long Bay presents a spectacular landscape that can be comfortably accessed within a few hours from Hanoi.
Keep an eye out for the call for papers that will be posted on the AHRD website soon. Questions can be directed to Gary McLean, AHRD liaison, at email@example.com.
UFHRD 2019 Doctoral Symposium
Submitted by Dr. Fotis Mitsakis
The Doctoral Symposium will be held on Monday, 24 June 2019 in conjunction with the 20th Anniversary University Forum for Human Resource Development (UFHRD) Conference at Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Trent University, on June 24-26 2019.
The goal of the Doctoral Symposium is to provide a supportive atmosphere for doctoral students to showcase and receive feedback on their ongoing work. Doctoral students at different stages in their research will have an opportunity to discuss their problem statements, objectives, methods, and results. The symposium aims to provide participants with useful guidance on various aspects of their research from established researchers and other fellow students working in relevant research areas. It also aims to enable doctoral students to interact with other delegates and potential collaborators in order to stimulate an exchange of ideas, suggestions, and experiences towards the development of their scientific curiosity.
This is a unique vantage point to explore beyond established, taken-for-granted assumptions about research and knowledge in a supportive and friendly environment. A number of research and practical workshops will be offered as part of the UFHRD2019 Doctoral Symposium.

Karen Michelle Nutt resides in California with her husband, three fascinating children, and a houseful of demanding pets. Jack, her Chorkie, is her writing buddy and sits long hours with her at the computer. When she's not time traveling, fighting outlaws, or otherworldly creatures, she creates pre-made book covers to order at Gillian's Book Covers, "Judge Your Book By Its Cover". Whether your reading fancy is paranormal, historical or time travel, all her stories capture the rich array of emotions that accompany the most fabulous human phenomena—falling in love.
Lars Gunner, the frontman for Silent Plaids, died 23 years ago and his death was ruled an unfortunate accident. Despite the fact he can't recall what happened to him in his last moments of life, he is convinced he was murdered. He has been trapped in limbo until his daughter, Cecilia, unearths his journal and is able to see him. She seeks help from Kaleb, a psychic, but as they resurrect the past, the secrets and lies surrounding Lars' rock and roll life just may be the death of them too.
Evie Reid, on a whim, agrees to travel back in time to 1997 to change bad boy Bellamy Lovel's path of destruction. She's smart with a college degree, but she's still fan-girl crazy for the rock band, Civilized Heathens. Evie knows despite all Bellamy's smiles and enthusiasm on the stage, he's destined to end it all on one lonely night in a hotel room unless she can change his path.
Bellamy isn't keen on having Evie as his personal assistant, hired by his band mates to watch over him, and keep him on schedule. However, there is something about the woman that sparks his interest, despite his best to ignore her. When darkness threatens to consume him, he realizes she may be the only light that will chase the shadows away.
~ An exciting, contemporary paranormal story of good versus evil from award-winning, bestselling author Karen Michelle Nutt ~
No soul is safe...
A vampire from the Grim Sith sept is sucking the souls out of young women from the Boston area, but this sinister crime is far worse than a vampire seeking substance. He's selling the souls to the highest bidder and it seems business is booming.
A vampire, a werewolf, and a Necromancer are a most unlikely team, but Garran, Harrison, and Isabella plan on putting a kink in the dubbed Soul Taker's plans. It's personal now. One of their friends has fallen victim to the Soul Taker's charms, but to stop him from hurting anyone else, their efforts may involve raising the dead.
~ The Legend… ~
There was a time when the nightwalkers lived among the humans, before they were known as vampyres or vampires to the modern world. The nightwalkers had their own clans and names they called themselves: Dearg-due, Oiche Sith, Draugr, Kyuuketsuki—to name a few of the older clan families. The nightwalkers' way of life was similar to the daywalkers. The only difference being the nightwalkers required blood to sustain life, a source easily supplied within their own clan. Male and female shared their blood with each other. There was no need to seek outsiders.
As time marched on, their way of life became compromised. No more children were born to the females of the nightwalker clans and their numbers dwindled. For a preternatural being, that was virtually immortal in comparison to other life forms of the world, the idea of fading into
history as merely a legend proved terrifying. Something had to be done…
Though there are many stories of courage, this is Adryanna and Bram's story, a daywalker and a blood drinker, who defied the odds and forged a new destiny.
The day was hers. The night was his. But Twilight was theirs. (Appropriate for ages 15+)
Michaela Grant travels to Scotland for a holiday, knowing this vacation is her last. A medical condition threatens her life and any chance of a future--until she meets Alan MacLachlin, a man forced to exist between two worlds.
Alan is the legendary Loch Ness Monster. Once every fifty years he returns to human form in search of his soul mate, the one woman who can break his curse. He believes he has found forever with Michaela, but to claim it he must figure out how to save her life.
Michaela and Alan vow to take what time has to offer, but another threat looms. A sinister shape shifter with a vendetta against Alan is making Loch Ness his personal hunting ground. Now he's threatening Michaela. Alan must discover who the shifter is and stop him before it's too late.
The last thing that Gillian Metcalf remembers before she passes out is being aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California, where she witnessed a dog disappearing as if it were a phantom. Now she's aboard the riverboat, Ida Belle, traveling down the muddy Mississippi. It is 1870, where men carry guns and throw knives. It is a time where reputations mean everything. Before she can determine how she's miraculously stepped from one world into another, she is being forced to marry Zachary Creighton. Trouble follows the man and it looks like she's along for the ride.
Zachary Creighton, a gambler with one goal: to win back Creighton Manor. Marriage was not part of the plan. To keep peace with his reluctant bride, he makes a bargain with her. He needs someone to tutor his nephew Tyler, and she needs a roof over her head until they can annul their sham of a marriage. However, he finds himself falling for her charms.
Will Zachary take the gamble or will the stakes prove too high for him to risk it all and win Gillian's heart?
Has a twist of fate sent her back in time? This is a question which plagues Arianna Ward when she wakes up to find her memory in fragments, like a long forgotten dream.
Everyone claims her name is Annabelle. The year is 1814 and she's married to Captain Keldon Buchanan, a man who despises her. The more she learns about her life, the more she realizes why she's chosen to forget it. She's a liar and an adulteress. She doesn't understand why she wanted to destroy her marriage when her heart tells her she belongs with Keldon.
Keldon harbors his own secrets. He's the Highland Pirate and secrecy is the difference between life and death. He doesn't trust his wife, but he finds his heart softening to the woman his wife has become. If he didn't know better, he'd swear he's married to another woman and he's fallen in love with her.
The day before his scheduled hanging, Ace McTavish is visited by an unusual, captivating woman who points a knife at his throat and then kisses him breathless. With a promise of rescue before the big event, Samantha Skelley reluctantly leaves her latest assignment in his jail cell.
With her partner, Denny Randeli, she's been sent to 1879 in the boomtown of Bodie, California, not only to keep this man from hanging, but to make sure he stays alive afterward.
However, Ace has an agenda of his own, and Sammy and Denny soon learn keeping him alive might not be as easy as it sounds.
At a very young age, the Rules of Conduct for the Fallen Angels were drummed into Eli Grigori's head. Rule number one: Do not befriend a human. Rule number two: Do not interfere in their lives. Rule number three: Do not have relations with a human. Rule number four: Under no circumstances will you ever reveal your true self. He managed to break all of the above.
Ol' Hallow's Eve is the day the veil between worlds is thin. It's the only day out of the year the preternatural beings are allowed to walk among the humans as their true selves. With Eli's wings bound and his glamour stripped, the Elders send him back in time before Ryden O'Sullivan knew the truth about him. If she is truly his soul mate, then her heart should recognize him.
There are those among the Watchers who are afraid Eli might succeed in his quest for love. If he does, everything will change within the brethren. Hashasheen demons, assassins for hire, are sent to take out Eli and Ryden. Eli is a warrior and will fight to keep Ryden safe, but time may be his biggest enemy. The Elders gave him until the end of Ol' Hallow's Eve. Ryden must fall in love with him by then or his life will be forfeited.

Winds of Destiny – Sitting alone in a bar on her fortieth birthday wasn't something Katherine Armand had ever planned. With her marriage over, better to pay attention to her career. A big-shot developer was flying into her sleepy, coastal fishing village to discuss building a resort. Katherine was a top-notch negotiator for her law firm. Anderson was eager for the land. This should be as smooth as sailing gentle Gulf waters. Except Anderson sent his top man to broker the deal . . . and Katherine hadn't planned on having to bargain with Michael Whitfield, the man who had broken her heart fifteen years ago, ever again.
Lizzie's Laces – Two years ago, Lizzie Rawlston left her home in Boston for Liverpool, determined to start a new life and forget all about Tony Sinclair, the handsome packet captain who had once been her best friend-and with whom she had the misfortune of falling in love.

Now, with Lizzie's father sick, possibly dying, Tony has appeared to bring Lizzie home. As they race against time to get Lizzie home before her father passes away, Tony and Lizzie rediscover the magic they've always shared. But when a storm blows up, threatening the ship and all of their lives, Tony will have to confront his greatest fear. Can he love Lizzie and still love the sea?

A number of significant historical events have occurred in...
Malatchi (ca. 1720-1756)
Malatchi was the prominent chief and warrior of the town of Coweta of the Lower Creek Indians during the 1740s and 1750s. He was probably the second son of Brims, and like his father, he maintained a policy of neutrality in order to find the most advantageous course for his people.
Malatchi took power around 1746, after reaching a suitable age for leadership, and he kept all avenues of trade and diplomacy open between the Lower Creeks and their European neighbors, especially the French and the British. Above all, he acted as a conscientious Lower Creek headman who recognized and defended native concerns in the colonial Southeast during the mid-eighteenth century.
Specifically, Malatchi supported the land claims of his relative (possibly his cousin) Mary Musgrove in her attempts to acquire the Yamacraw tract along the Savannah River and the islands of St. Catherines, Sapelo, and Ossabaw. He led a delegation to Savannah in August 1749 to confirm her title, but British officials, headed by William Stephens, refused to assent. This led to several tense encounters. Malatchi eventually relented, but such offensive treatment prompted him to make overtures to the French and to participate in talks with Governor James Glen of South Carolina rather than deal with Georgia again.
After Malatchi's death authority passed to his underage son Togulki, who did not command the power of his forefathers. Nonetheless, the Lower Creeks remained an influential and dominant force, but they lacked the strong guidance provided by Malatchi and his ancestors.

Ask Anyone Anything
Jamma003 posted a topic in Forum GamesSo, I had a good idea. I saw that all the AMA threads have been locked, and i thought "Aw! That looked like fun!" So here is a slight twist on the AMA that might not get locked, where we can still ask pointless questions. Basically, each post consists of an answer, followed by a question. Anyone can chime in at any time with an answer, so dont ask questions aimed at specific users. Oh, and dont just put spammy answers because you want to ask something. I doubt you'd do that, but the rule stands anyway. Heres an example (the quotes represent individual posts): And so on... Il start then. Do you think this thread is going to actually be good?

The Regional Organization for the Conservation of the Environment of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden (PERSGA), in collaboration with the National Focal Point (Higher Council for Environment and Natural Resources), organized a national training workshop on Management Effectiveness Evaluation (MEE) of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) on 9th-10th of April 2016 in Aqaba, Jordan. This workshop mainly aimed to: 1) provide background on the concept of the MEE of MPAs; 2) present information on the international standard evaluation frameworks and methods used for MEE of MPAs and then; 3) train participants on the WB scorecard used for MEE of MPAs; 4) show the evaluation method/approaches for MEE of Socotra Island MPA, developed by Dr. Zaher Al-Agwan for his doctorate university at an Australian university, as a case study.
The workshop was held within the framework of the component III of the World Bank (WB) Strategic Ecosystem-based Management (SEM) Project for the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden implemented by PERSGA, which is funded by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF). It was opened by Mr. Suleiman Najadad (Environmental Commissioner- Aqaba Zone Economic Special Authority (AZESA)) in presence of the PERSGA representatives: the coordinator of the SEM project component III (Mr. Bashar Bataineh) and coordinator of PERSGA MPA Evaluation Program (Dr. Zaher Al-Agwan) who was the instructor of the workshop.

I love this soap! If you haven't tried these soaps then give em a go! Definitely surprised me! The scent on this particular soap is not overpowering at all in fact I would probably say this lends itself more to a cream sort of a scent if that makes sense but the sandalwood scent is present. I found it easy to build a rich, creamy, yogurt like consistency. It handles water quite well and I would say that it work to your benefit to be reasonably generous with the introduction of water. The lather is quit dense and consistent, it does not dissipate or suffer any such issues. The slickness is pretty reasonable and post shave feeling is fine. I managed to get one of best shaves using this soap which has lead me to consider purchasing another in a different scent upon my next order from TSW. One of the reasons I love this soap aside from performance is that I can use this soap at night without irritating anyone at all. The sandalwood scent of this one reminds me of the Sandalwood soap from Faena that I picked up from here a few years ago. This is the first time I have tried this brand as such I cannot comment on any of the previous iterations but I can assure you this one is worthwhile addition to your shave stash.

All the vendors, all the flavors.Whether your clouds interact with each other, or not, whether they are on premise or off site, we managed them all. We help you choose where to put your workload among any cloud option available for you.
We help you make it cheaper and right sized. We optimize it for you."Multi-cloud" describes an environment that relies on multiple clouds — such as OpenStack®, Microsoft® Azure® or AWS.For instance, you may be running a workload that requires large pools of storage and networking resources on a private cloud, such as OpenStack.At the same time, you may have a workload that needs to scale up or down quickly on a public cloud,such as Microsoft Azure or AWS. Each workload is running on the ideal cloud, but now you have multiple clouds to manage.
Not ready for a complete migration to the cloud? Need to better manage risk and create redundancy in the form of a business continuity plan? Organizations can leverage cloud-based auto scaling and disaster recovery in a hybrid environment, with the cloud provider of your choice, while maintaining your existing infrastructure.
NubeliU offers organizations multiple public and private managed cloud options. Whether you are looking for a managed hybrid cloud environment or you have already committed to a full migration to a cloud provider such as AWS, Azure or Google, we can ensure your transition to either cloud architecture is smooth and cost effective. Sometimes the best infrastructure for a site or application requires both cloud and dedicated environments – mix dedicated servers, private cloud and the public cloud of your choice to create your optimal environment.
Get the agility, scalability and efficiency of the public cloud, with the greater levels of control and security of a single-tenant, dedicated environment. It can be hosted on-site at your own data center or at a service provider's data center.

Predicted XI: Wolves (A)
Away against Wolves is a potential banana skin for our men in red, but this is a different Liverpool isn't it? Here is who The Anfield Talk's Ian (@ianyoungkop) thinks will take to the field at Molyneux tonight.
Alisson: Alisson may have made his second big mistake as a Liverpool goalkeeper, but he's still yet to lose us any points. There's no other keeper in the league I'd rather have between our posts.
Clyne: Clyne without being top of his game last Sunday, impressed against United. I think if this game had been played earlier then Milner would've stepped in, but I think pretty much a week is long enough for him to recuperate.
Lovren: We can pretty much assume that while Gomez is out injured, the van Dijk – Lovren partnership is going to be our go to duo.
van Dijk: Our captain elect, just gets better and better each match, scarily so, how good could he possibly get?
Robertson: "I'm tired just from watching Robertson" was one of the last things uttered from Jose Mourinho as Manchester United manager. From a slow start to the season, "Robbo" is completely and utterly back to his best. The guys energy is unmatched, and can't see him rested anytime soon!
Wijnaldum: Wijnaldum seems to be benefiting from the inclusion of Fabinho as his metaphorical chains have been loosened and we see him further up the field. If he could add more goals to his game, there'd be a lot more talk of Gini!
Fabinho: Fabinho having now been given a chance, has impressed in his run of games. Running each of the last couple of games he's started in. Could we have finally found our Mascherano replacement?
Shaqiri: After his super sub performance last week, I'd be surprised if Xherdan isn't a starter today. At £13 million, Xherdan could be the bargain of the season. Hope you are watching, Charlie Adam.
Mané: I feel today Liverpool could have more of a chance to counter attack, so resting any of our front three today could be a mistake!
Firmino: "Bobby had arguably his best game for us last weekend, and hopefully he can carry his form forward. Hopefully he'll be playing the role of the number nine, rather than the deeper lying role he's been playing for the majority of the season.
Salah: Mo, despite not being on the scoresheet against United, looks like he's about to explode at any minute. Still the best attacking player in the Premier League!

I have had too much time on my hands this week. Not because I'm "out of work", but because I've simply been lazy. Sigh…
I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. We all have "one of those weeks."
However, with so much time, I've been able to finish many things. My Etsy shop is looking fantastic. (If I don't say so myself) My shop now contains crochet cowls, which I love. Look for more crochet items soon…
My Honey Cowl (linked under the Patterns I endorse tab) is coming along as well. I hope to have that finished over the weekend.
I have some fun quilting and sewing projects waiting patiently in my craft room. I'm participating in a Block of the Month Club with Amy Gibson. Her blog, Stitchery Dickory Dock is one of the coolest blogs. She's an excellent blogger. I hope you'll pop over and check it out.
I went to Joann Fabrics yesterday and bought my fabric for the Sugar Block Club. Black, grey, white, and a touch of pink. Can you pick out the houndstooth? Love me some houndstooth…
Then…last but not least, what will this fabric be when it grows up? Any thoughts?
So, as I always say,
Knit On! Or Sew On!

Ms Hannah Webster, University of Salford, awarded £19,615: Promoting Respectful Maternity Care in Low Resource Settings: Bringing 'Whose Shoes' to Fort Portal, Uganda
Maternal Mortality in the third-world
Uganda has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) framework focuses on improving Maternal Health through gender equality, human rights, empowerment and poverty reduction.
Ninety-nine percent of all maternal mortality occurs in low and middle income countries where delay in deciding to seek care contributes to poor maternal and new-born outcomes.
Disrespectful care both undermines women's human rights and disempowers them, and it results in poor levels of engagement with public services and damaging delays in accessibility.
WECare: Supporting Women's Empowerment and Respectful Maternity Care in Uganda
Through empowerment of women and collaboration between healthcare staff, stakeholders, families and communities WECare will improve the well-being of mothers and babies.
WECare involves an action-research collaboration between UK Volunteer Midwives working through Knowledge for Change and our Ugandan peers in Kabarole District, Uganda.
Motivated by the success of 'Whose Shoes', WECare examines conceptualisations of respectful care in the context of Ugandan public services and seeks to develop mechanisms to empower mothers and engage them in service planning.
In-depth evaluation and adaptation will provide an evidence-based blueprint for policy transfer to other settings.
This was co-funded by The Royal College of Midwives, and Burdett Trust for Nursing

I don't know, maybe I'm just getting old and don't feel like keeping up with our ever-expanding quest for the latest and greatest marvels of technology. Oh, don't get me wrong...I've had an ongoing love affair with computers for nearly 40 years now, although admittedly it's been a rocky marriage at times. I've embraced many changes along the way, including PCs, email, instant messaging, online banking and bill paying, Web worlds, and social media. But I remember simpler times, and sometimes would just like to see things slow down a bit. On his late night network talk show, Craig Ferguson often jokingly tries to explain what a book is by describing it as "a papery blog," a characterization that for me seems to hit home.
In this highly automated, throw-away society, it was refreshing for me to find out about a new concept in vending machines called the "Swap-o-Matic". Although the name screams of Ron Popeil, the Swap-o-Matic is actually the brainchild of Lina Fenequito, a graduate of Duke University with a degree in computer science and visual arts. Essentially, it is a bartering system. You give something that you no longer need to the machine, and in return you get to choose from a selection of items that others have given back, thus breathing life into the old PC-adjusted adage: "One person's trash is another person's treasure."
The machine works on a credit system. You start by setting up an account using an e-mail address, which is done to help provide some accountability and control. New users are given three credits, which they can use for purchasing items from the machine (each item costs one credit). When they donate something to the machine, they are then given a credit which they can use to purchase an additional item.
The goal of the system is to encourage people to exchange their unwanted items, rather than throwing them away. Their web site declares that "the Swap-o-matic is a vending machine that encourages users to trade rather than buy! It playfully reminds us that reusing and recycling can be just as fun as buying something new."
As far as I can tell, there is only one vending machine currently set up, at a creamery in New York City. They are however actively soliciting sponsorship for additional machines, and are hopeful that the program catches on and expands. Whether it does or not, it is a noble cause and I would recommend that you take the time to read the full story on their web site, http://www.swap-o-matic.com. You can also read about them at http://www.springwise.com/retail/vending-machine-reused-recycled-products/.

Fifty clicks of a keyboard and the pirouette of a mouse. Two minutes of a file clerk's day. That's possibly all it would have taken to save the lives of 26 Americans, slain in their pews, by a wife-beating child abuser who should never have had a gun.
The graphic horror of American gun deaths is matched only by the bureaucratic indifference that does so little to thwart the carnage.
Devin Patrick Kelley, the man who brought so much bloodshed to Sutherland Springs, Tex., the morning of Nov. 5, had hurt a child before. In 2012, he was convicted in a military court-martial of assaulting his wife and cracking his infant stepson's skull.
That conviction should have barred Mr. Kelley under federal law from purchasing firearms, but the Air Force failed to report it to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, often known by its acronym, NICS, the screening tool for gun purchases in the United States.
People convicted of felonies or domestic violence misdemeanors forfeit their right to bear arms in the United States. There are similar prohibitions for people with diagnoses of mental illness and known drug or alcohol abuse. In theory, state and federal agencies plus hospitals are supposed to report all such information to the F.B.I. Licensed gun sellers are required to contact an F.B.I. office in West Virginia, by telephone or electronically, before ringing up a gun sale to ensure the buyer isn't listed as banned.
But NICS is only as good as the data that's put into it. A decade ago, a mentally ill man named Seung-Hui Cho went on a killing spree on the campus of Virginia Tech, murdering 32 people and injuring 17 others. In the aftermath, Congress passed a bill to strengthen NICS with more criminal records and mental health information. While there is still room for improvement, Department of Justice data suggests the number of federal and state records entered into NICS has increased significantly since the law was signed in January 2008.
Now, a group of senators, led by John Cornyn, a Republican from Texas and one of the strongest gun rights advocates in Congress, has put forward a similar measure that would improve the reporting of domestic violence convictions. Mr. Cornyn's measure would impose a financial penalty on the heads of federal agencies that fail to report the convictions. It would also reward states that improve reporting, and would provide more federal funding toward those efforts.
In the weeks since the Sutherland Springs murders, it's become apparent that the Pentagon's failure in the Kelley case was one of many; time and again, it has failed to forward criminal incident data to the F.B.I., which maintains the three databases that NICS pulls from. The Air Force conducted a review in recent weeks, saying Tuesday that the military had failed to report several dozen serious crimes to the bureau's databases and that it was in the process of fixing the problem. Outside the Pentagon, a separate report by the public interest group The National Consortium for Justice Information and Statistics from 2013 found millions of records missing — of criminal convictions, prior mental illness and other red flags — that are supposed to keep guns out of potentially dangerous hands.
The new bill, called the Fix NICS Act, is the rare piece of gun legislation that has no meaningful opposition and that has bipartisan support. Across the aisle, the lead co-sponsor is Chris Murphy of Connecticut, with three other senior Democrats backing it as well. The National Rifle Association has also applauded the measure.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has also weighed in, announcing last week a full evaluation of the NICS process. Suggesting that one error that leads to tragedy is one too many, he said the NICS database "is critical for us to be able to keep guns out of the hands of those that are prohibited from owning them."
The Justice Department's review will focus on military reporting, as well as the "format, structure and wording" of NICS forms and other potential obstacles to compliance. A bigger question that it might want to consider is whether NICS reporting should be more standardized. Right now, every state submits what it wants with no true national protocols. Even the definition of "domestic violence" varies from state to state.
A quick vote, at the very least by the end of the year, would be welcome — unencumbered by controversial amendments that could delay or even torpedo it, thus risking many more lives. The House Judiciary Committee is expected to mark up the bill this week.
For its part, the Pentagon should look to itself and sanction those responsible for the Kelley failure. Falling asleep on guard duty and shirking administrative due diligence are equally deadly.


text: Stomp in Washington D.C. in 1997. I was amazed at the music you could get out of everyday, household items. The one part I remember clearly is a couple of guys wearing kitchen sinks (as if they were bass drums) drumming on them. At the end, they stood over buckets and pulled the plug on the sinks, draining the water (in a musical way, of course).

Speeches sourced from the Labour party's online archive More…
Mary Creagh MP, Labour's Shadow Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, commenting on reports that horse meat has been detected in some beef burgers, said:
"Consumers will be rightly concerned by this news. People should be able to go into the supermarket and be confident that what that they are buying for their families is legal and safe.
"There are serious questions for the Government to answer about what happened and why it wasn't detected by British food safety authorities.
"Shoppers wanting reassurance should look for the Red Tractor mark which guarantees quality British standards.
"This is a wake up call for the Government and retailers that rolling back regulation that protects our food serves no-one and is against consumer interest.
"This retailers affected must now work to reassure all shoppers about where their meat comes from."

Do the angels pray in Aramaic?
The Dear Rabbi Column, " …based on timeless Talmudic wisdom" (May 3), writes the following about the Kaddish: "Yet this prayer is especially apropos for a mourner because we believe that it is the Aramaic praise that the angels recite in God's presence in the heavens."
1.The Talmud (Shabbos 12 A) states that the angels do not understand and certainly do not communicate in Aramaic.
2.The prophets, Isaiah 6 and Ezekiel 3, inform us of the praises that the angels recite to God, verses that are incorporated in the daily prayers as the Kedusha, not the Kaddish.

3.The rabbis have explained that the unique quality of the Kaddish, which elevates it even beyond the Kedusha ( Berachos 21 B), derives from the fact that it is the result of human initiative.
Dear Rabbi, aka Rabbi Dr. Tzvee Zahavy, replies:
I thank Mr. Polak for his letter. My column targets the issues of people, not of angels. Since I have not yet been to heaven, I can only speculate on the language skills of angels and their activities based on the assertions of our traditions. The Talmud passage Mr. Polak refers to cites the individual view of one rabbi regarding the language skills of angels. Other authoritative rabbis in the Talmud and later times argue that some angels do know Aramaic or that the question is moot, because angels know what you are thinking. Putting the language and angel issues aside, I do agree, as I proposed in my column, that the Kaddish is a powerful prayer of praise, a "human initiative" that mourners recite here on earth to act as if they are intercessors to gain heavenly immortality for the soul of a departed loved one.

I have finished the 79th book for the book challenge. It was Pros And Cons: A Short Story by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg.
This is a short story by the author of the Stephanie Plum books and author Lee Goldberg. They introduce us to a new character, Kate O'Hare, an FBI Special Agent. Kate has been after one particular criminal, Nicholas Fox. He is a suave and tricky man. He has a penchant for disguising himself and then naming himself after a character from a television show. Therefore, Kate's Bible is The Complete Directory Of Episodic Television Shows when she is checking the rosters of planes, trains, and buses and hotels where she thinks Nick Fox might be hiding as a character-named from a television show. Her office mate is Cosmo, a not very neat Special Agent, whom she always hopes is not assigned to help her with her investigations.
Kate gets a lead that Nick is working as a wedding planner in Chicago to a rich man and his girlfriend. She believes he is planning to rob this man's apartment during the wedding and makes plans to fly to Chicago to stop the heist. She Tries to get her boss Jessup to authorize a team to help her. Gunter and a team is in place but Jessup can't authorize them to break into the wedding.
Meanwhile, Nick has set himself up as a wedding planner to Caroline and Milton. He manage to "save" Caroline on a street in Chicago when she stumbled and pretend he was a gay wedding planner. They have thousands of dollars of gold idols in their apartment that Nick will have his "caterers" carry out during the ceremony. He also plans on having fireworks when the couple is announced as husband and wife to mask the sound of blasting caps on the wall safe.
The day of the wedding, Kate arrives at the happy couple's building but is not allowed up to the penthouse. Nick has told the guards that reporters dressed as FBI will try to get in. The "caterers" are coming out with their bags of golden idols and Jessup has still not given Kate the authority to go ahead. Kate decides to go ahead anyway. She manages to seize one bag of golden idols and makes her way to the penthouse. She finds Nick just about ready to go over the balcony. She corners him. He has the money from the safe. She tells him not to go over the balcony but he does. He is wearing a parachute. He safely parachutes away from the building and gets away.
Kate goes back to her Chicago hotel room. It is in disarray. There are candy wrapper from the minibar and an unopened bottle of champagne. There is also a pink handkerchief tied around the bottle, which was in Nick's tuxedo pocket. There is also a note on her pillow: Looking forward to the next time.
This was a quick, but fun short story. There was not much time for character development. There was just time to introduce the characters and set the stage for their interaction. The book to come, The Heist, will undoubtedly get into much deeper character development. I look forward to the book and learning more about Kate O'Hare and Nick Fox.

Zico, the very handsome and talented leader of the group Block B, dropped a teaser trailer for his new song '너는 나 나는 너 (I Am You, You Are Me)', and also dropped a teaser for his song '사랑이었다 (It Was Love)' which you can view here.
The long awaited ballad caused a bit of commotion among the fandom when it was leaked that the artist wouldn't be doing such music at this time. Seven Seasons came out stating that previous reports that were released were not okay and that he was only working on music in general, but then turned around and uploaded two possible ballad pieces.
With the release of the new teaser, a new repackage special edition of 'Gallery' and a special edition highlight DVD has been released. With this new information Zicovas' hearts are screaming "YES" while our wallets are screaming "NO!". You can purchase the Special Edition of Gallery which only has 10,000 copies being made at, Kpoptown.com.
