text: I thought I would post here in case others are seeing the same thing, but since I had Windows 10 version 17758.1 installed I think late last week, I have noticed it seems very slow at times - big delays like even clicking the Start icon and it takes 10 seconds for the menu to appear. Some apps will take about 5 seconds or so to actually appear and other times it is instantaneous, like the Start icon usually is. There are no apps running when this happens. So it's more of an intermittent problem that regularly appears. As another example, the latest version of Quicken for Windows - sometimes it comes up in a second, other times it can take 10 seconds before anything appears. Nothing works - no keystrokes, nothing, The lag happens about 30% - 50% of the time. And note, I have nothing really running - I just jump to this VM to run an app I need under Windows from time to time, it is mostly idle! I am running it this build on a MacBook Pro 2018, which I have had for about a month. This idly started last week. I am using Parallels latest (14.0.1), I have seen this with as much as 8 GB memory allocated and 2 CPUs (I normally run 2GB or 4GB and 2 CPUs without any speed issues). It's a very fast Intel machine, and normally Windows 10 just screams on it. When I did some looking around, I seem to get regular spikes in hard disk utilization to 100%, but no applications are running, and the data throughput according to Task Manager is very low - the top users at that moment are using say .2MB/s. I have attached a picture. So I am wondering if there is an incompatibility with the Parallels disk drivers?

French Open washout throws schedule into disarray
Reshuffle means one of men's finalists will have had to play three matches in four days

The French Open had its first rainout in three years on Wednesday, with daylong showers at Roland Garros forcing the postponement of the four scheduled quarterfinals in men's and women's singles before they began.
This figures to be one of the last complete rainouts in Grand Slam history. Starting next year, Roland Garros will have a retractable roof over the main Philippe Chatrier Court, making it the last of the four Grand Slam events to have at least one stadium in which matches can be played in any weather.
The quarterfinals scheduled for Wednesday will now be played Thursday. Simona Halep and Amanda Anisimova will begin play on Chatrier Court, followed by Novak Djokovic against Alexander Zverev. Madison Keys will face Ashleigh Barty on Suzanne Lenglen Court before Dominic Thiem meets Karen Khachanov.
The women's semifinals that were scheduled for Thursday will now be played on Friday, along with the men's semifinals.
The women's finalists will not get a day of rest before their match Saturday, and the player who comes out of the top half of the draw will be playing her third day in a row. In the bottom half, Johanna Konta and Marketa Vondrousova secured their spots in the semifinals on Tuesday and now do not play again until Friday.
In the men's draw, the rest disadvantage is even more stark. The players who won Tuesday — Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer — already had two days off before their semifinal.
Whoever reaches Sunday's final from the top half of the draw — Djokovic, Zverev, Thiem or Khachanov — will have had to play three best-of-five-sets matches within four days, compared with the three matches in six days required of Nadal or Federer.
In 2016, days of rain earned the tournament a nickname, the 'Drench Open', and forced the men's and women's semifinals to be played on the same day.
This time, however, the tournament's final stages could be even more complicated, with rain in the forecast again on Friday.
Tournament organisers have not yet decided Friday's schedule, which will include the highly anticipated match between Nadal and Federer, or even how many stadiums they will use.
Guy Forget, the tournament director, said in a news conference that one possibility was to use the tournament's new third stadium, Simonne Mathieu Court, to allow the women's semifinals to be played simultaneously during the session previously designated for men's semifinals. (Tickets for each men's semifinal, scheduled for Chatrier, were sold separately, meaning changes to the order of play could anger ticket holders.)
"Don't write that I said that if it doesn't happen," Forget said. "But, I mean, we, at the moment, are studying the worst-case scenario."
Mathieu Court can seat 5,000 — 10,000 fewer than Chatrier Court, where both women's semifinals are usually played.
Acknowledging "some players might feel that it's a lack of respect," Forget suggested that stadium size was less important at this stage than the women having enough rest — or the same amount of rest — before Saturday's final.
"There are matches on the WTA Tour that are played on central courts with 5,000 seats," he said. "So if it were the case, there is nothing negative in playing on this court, which is very beautiful."
Tournament officials also have not ruled out moving the singles finals.
"I just left the room to see the different options that we have," Forget said. "None of them are ideal."
Ticket holders for Wednesday will receive full refunds, and be able to attend Roland Garros on Thursday using Wednesday's tickets, with entry permitted to all courts but Chatrier. – New York Times

Thinking about and recording emergency medical care choices is not about death. It is all about how you wish to be treated while you are alive.
Someday, you may be brought to a hospital in critical condition. You may be confused or unable to answer questions that are asked of you. You are not dead and, in actuality (and hopefully), you might not die.
If you are sedated and admitted to the hospital, how will the staff know who to contact and what you like or want?
When I worked as a hospital chaplain, I cared for a young man who was in a coma. The nursing staff realized that he became agitated when the room was quiet. His family brought in music from several of his favorite recording artists. When the music was played, he rested peacefully. How did his family know what to do? He told them in advance.
My point is that hospital or medical care is not just about physical care. It should and does include emotional and spiritual care as well as basic life preferences.
This can even help when the situation is not as critical. For instance, my wife, Naomi, hates to sleep with the blankets tucked tightly around her feet. If something should happen to her, I want to make sure that she is as comfortable as possible. Because I know her wishes, I will be able to relay this to the nursing staff.
While writing an Advance Directive is detailed and usually focuses mainly on end-of-life or death decisions, the following questions may help others care for you when you are critically ill.
What other kinds of non-medical information should the medical staff know about you?
Can you answer the following questions?
- If I am admitted to the hospital or I am facing a long recuperation, either at home or in a rehabilitation facility, who would I want to be notified and wish to come visit?
- Is it okay to post information about my illness or injury on social media?
- Am I more afraid of being in pain or being drugged to the point of not being able to visit with people?
- Are there any particular foods that would make me happy (assuming that I have the approval of the doctor)?
- Do I prefer quiet in my room or do I want music? If music, what kind?
- If I am unable to read, would I like audiobooks or someone to read to me?
- If I am in a coma or drugged, do I want someone just to sit with me?
- Do I want my rabbi, priest or other spiritual leader to visit me?
- Do I want the person who makes decisions to be the Emergency Room doctor or would I rather have someone who knows me and knows what I want to make those decisions?
- If I have identified a person to speak on my behalf (medical power of attorney or agent), does he or she know what I want to happen if current treatment is not working?
Remember, you may be healthy and active now, but don't put off making some of these decisions today. Think of it like a health insurance policy. Hopefully you will never have to use it, but if you do, it is great to know it is available! Knowing what you want to happen is only the first step in the process. Writing your wishes down is the second. Telling someone whom you trust is essential.

Rain-driven salmon run in Marin brings hope, but coho still hurting
The celebrated coho salmon of West Marin are leaping up waterfalls and wriggling around the rain-animated rapids of Lagunitas Creek this week in numbers that might make people think the end is no longer near.
The local coho run, long the bellwether of wild salmon health in Central California and the Bay Area, is still in peril, but the annual winter blitz is nevertheless giving fisheries experts, watershed managers and the creekside communities where the fish lay their eggs renewed hope.
Watershed biologists in Marin have counted about 100 coho nests, or redds, the signature clusters of pink eggs that salmon lay in gravel. The number of redds are traditionally used by experts to estimate salmon abundance. For every redd there are usually two fish — a male and a female — in the watershed.
Eric Ettlinger, the aquatic ecologist for the Marin Municipal Water District, said 37 redds were counted in Lagunitas Creek over the seven days ending Dec. 18. Another 140 fish were observed swimming in the watershed, which includes Devil's Gulch, Lagunitas and San Geronimo creeks.
It was "the most coho seen in one week since 2006!" Ettlinger wrote in his blog. "In one pool we saw approximately 38 coho."
The average for a spawning season since 1994 is 250 redds.
"We're about halfway toward a normal year for coho, and we've still got all of January," said Gregory Andrew, the district's fisheries program manager. "The last two weeks were phenomenal in terms of the number of fish we saw. It's unlikely we'll see a surge like that again, but the test will be the next storm that we get."
Positive development
It's not a bad early return compared to the previous four years, when only a few bedraggled fish laid eggs in the drought-addled watershed. Last winter, 131 nests were counted the whole season — no surprise given that rainfall is what prompts the endangered fish to begin their annual rush into the creeks and tributaries of the lush San Geronimo Valley to make babies.
"Yes, we did have a lot of fish in a single week, but we didn't have any rain before then," said Todd Steiner, executive director of the Salmon Protection and Watershed Network, which is part of Turtle Island Restoration Network.
"We got all of this rain at the end of the year, so all that pent-up need to spawn occurred all in one week," he said. "So, yeah, that one week was great, but the several weeks before were below the average, and there is no rain now expected for a week or so."
Spawning typically lasts through January, Steiner said, so it is too early to determine if a recovery is under way. A full coho recovery would require 1,300 nests, or 2,600 fish, in the watershed for several years in a row, he said. The best winter since biologists began keeping records 21 years ago was 2004-05, when 1,342 coho and 634 nests were counted in the Lagunitas watershed.
"The best years don't even reach half of what we need for recovery," Steiner said. "It's a great time to come and see fish, but unfortunately it gives false hope."
The long journey
The Lagunitas coho, also known as silver salmon, swim 33 miles through the redwood- and oak-studded valley on the northwest side of Mount Tamalpais. They lay eggs and die, and their progeny return from the ocean to the streams where they were hatched at age 3 to repeat the cycle.
Rural West Marin, about 20 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge, has always been a stronghold for coho, which were so numerous that grizzly bears used to compete with American Indians to see who could pluck more out of the streams. Legend has it there were still so many fish after the bears and American Indians were gone that homesteaders could spear them from docks.
The salmon runs kept up even after 1873, when the first of seven dams was built in the watershed, blocking 50 percent of the historic spawning habitat. Then, suddenly, the fish stopped showing up.
It's not an isolated problem. Dams, gravel mining, logging, overgrazing and the degradation of ocean habitat have harmed the fish throughout their range. Coho now make up only about 1 percent of their historic population from Mendocino to Monterey counties. The species was listed in 2005 under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
Obstacles to overcome
The devastating drought that has dried out California over the past four years — and now the El Niño weather pattern, which is warming the ocean — is threatening to wipe out the rest of them.
The local migration is the largest wild run of coho on the Central Coast, which may be more a reflection of the sad state of affairs for wild anadromous fish — those that return to freshwater to spawn — than it is for Marin's ability to protect them.
Still, the Lagunitas run is unique not only because all the fish are wild — a large proportion of the coho in other places are raised in hatcheries — but because their primary spawning grounds are in the middle of developed communities.
The extensive work by the water district, environmental organizations, local schools and community leaders is considered a model for fisheries restoration around the state.
Ettlinger said many of the fish have had tiny electronic tags implanted, allowing biologists to track them using an antenna just upstream of Point Reyes Station. The monitoring has confirmed that most of the fish stick to the three-year cycle, but that a few of them return after only two years and others return on the fourth year.

Know the coho
Range: Coho salmon are found on both sides of the North Pacific Ocean from Hokkaido, Japan, and eastern Russia, around the Bering Sea to mainland Alaska, and south all the way to Monterey Bay.
Description: Adults typically weigh 8 to 12 pounds and are 18 to 30 inches long, though individual fish weighing 31 pounds have been caught.
Life cycle: Anadromous, meaning adults re-enter natal freshwater streams to spawn after spending half of their three-year life cycle in the salty Pacific. Adults die within two weeks of spawning. Fry grow to 4 to 5 inches long before heading to the Pacific.

Mel Gibson Denounces Yeagley
When a man like Mel Gibson, raised by a "fundamentalist Catholic" who asserts the Holocaust was a hoax and the Catholic Church is too liberal and too modern, calls Yeagley a hateful man, that should tell us all just how extreme Yeagley's political and religious fundamentalism is.
When the maker of a notoriously inaccurate and stereotyped movie (Apocalypto, in case there's any doubt) denounces Yeagley as driven by jealousy and unhappiness with his own life, then maybe Yeagley should take the advice of this more famous bigot to heart.
After two newspaper articles that Yeagley pushed for backfired on him so badly, this third one which finally gives Youngblood a chance to sound off should give Yeagley fits for years.
And this site, its readers, and the many critics of Yeagley in Indian Country will take a great of joy in watching him squirm.
If anything, the article actually went too easy on Yeagley, not discussing Yeagley's false claims of being Comanche. But on the positive side, it did rightfully demote him from "pundit" to "blogger" and gave several examples of Yeagley's extreme racism and crackpot fanaticism.
'Apocalypto' Actor Fires Back on Heritage Claims
Youngblood defends his heritage.
April 18, 2007
By Lauren Horwitch
Not long before he received an award from First Americans in the Arts on April 14, actor Rudy Youngblood responded to blogger David Yeagley's assertions that the actor lied about his Native American ancestry, as reported in Back Stage's April 12 news analysis ";Is He or Isn't He?"
Youngblood says he is unequivocally Comanche by blood and is baffled by Yeagley's claims. "I don't know him. I've never seen him. I've never talked to him. I've never crossed paths with him," said Youngblood. The accusations of fraud first appeared on Yeagley's website, BadEagle.com, and subsequently in articles in the Los Angeles Times and Back Stage.
Youngblood, who played Jaguar Paw in Apocalypto, Mel Gibson's 2006 epic, said he will not publicly state the names of his Comanche relatives in order to protect his family. According to Youngblood, Yeagley has already harassed some of those family members.
"It's the most disrespectful thing to have somebody badger or attack some of my family. You just don't do that," Youngblood said. "There are a lot of people in the Native community who know me, raised me, seen me as a kid, [and] grow up in our ways.... The guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I feel sad for him because he's making himself look ridiculous." He added that the statement on his Internet Movie Database biography that his mother is half African-American is incorrect.
The actor and former dancer with the Native American Dance Theatre said he will officially enroll in the Comanche Nation, which requires federal documents proving an individual is at least one-eighth Comanche Indian. "It's just taking the time. It's a long process. It's very drawn out. [But] it's not like I can't," he said.
When asked why Yeagley has singled him out for criticism, Youngblood noted the blogger critiques many individuals and groups on his site. Democrats, African Americans, and Muslims are currently three of his frequent subjects, in addition to the authenticity of Youngblood's ancestry. In an April 16 post on BadEagle.com addressing the shooting spree on the Virginia Tech campus, Yeagley wrote: "I blame liberals. Liberals have already disarmed the people, psychologically. People are afraid to defend themselves. The students at Virginia Tech were afraid to respond.... Thus, they are totally weak, and unprepared. They can only be victims."
In an April 16 post titled "Sick of Blacks?," Yeagley said Rutgers University women's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer "led black people into the lowest state of mind in the history of American Negro history. The queen of weakness, Stringer dramatized, in a spectacular way, the complete dissatisfaction of black people--with themselves."
And in an April 8 post about illegal immigration, he called for readers to "unite and oust the Muslims immediately.... A true Muslims [sic] is a traitor to America . Plain and simple. The reason they are here is to colonize, to build a Muslims [sic] nation within, and to take over America ."
Unwanted Limelight
Youngblood said his fame as a Native American actor does not require him to prove his ancestry to others in the Native community. "I understand I'm in the public eye, but there is a line.... I don't need to show anybody anything," he said.
It wasn't his intention to become a professional actor when he auditioned for a part in Apocalypto, his only film credit to date: "I never wanted to be famous; I still don't. This is a job, and like every job, you want to do it to the best of your ability, and that's what I'm doing here."
As advised by Gibson, his mentor, Youngblood said he will continue to ignore Yeagley and his supporters. "[Gibson] said, 'People like that will never be happy. Jealousy eats at you, and all they have is driven by hate.' "
"I'm not going to say anything to [Yeagley]. I'm going to let him talk," Youngblood added. "Instead of doing something productive, he wastes his time behind a computer talking bad about people.... I'm not going to waste my time with that."

Justin is one of my personal heroes when it comes to the IoT, so I was so glad to see he was nominated — multiple times! Justin is the organiser of the IoT Sydney monthly meetup and shares his knowledge in talks and workshops around the world. His IoT Sydney events are fantastic and always run out of free tickets! As one nomination put it, "they are wonderful events that are really well put together and completely inspiring for anyone that has an interest in the Internet Of Things!" He's a great guy, a friend and so deserving of so many thanks from the IoT community. I've lost track of the number of ideas he has sparked in my mind and the number of random tech bits and pieces he has introduced me to. Thank you Justin! Your contributions are immeasurable and incredible.
Here's another nomination that just had to be shared in full:
"Justin has been instrumental in building up the Sydney IoT community via the Sydney IoT meetup group. Justin is also very generous with his time to share knowledge, provide support to the community, and just generally answer any crazy IoT related questions."
Twitter: @gtmurph
Craig was already subtly mentioned in this article actually. He took that photo of Justin and the crowd at IoT Sydney! He works at IBM as a Cloud Specialist, helps run the Sydney IBM Bluemix meetup and is another active member of the IoT community in Sydney. He even jumps in to help run the IoT Sydney meetup when Justin is unavailable. He's another friend who I was incredibly glad to see was nominated for 2016! This nomination speaks the truth,
"Craig is a great connector and is always out and about at events empowering and sharing his great knowledge"
Thank you Craig, for all your work in 2016. It hasn't gone unnoticed!
Twitter: @OskSta
Oskar was nominated in the AI category for his creations around procedurally generated games. His creations look really really neat! One nomination summarises it well —
"Oskar made many fantastic procedural generated games this year, including Brick Block and Polygonal Planet Project. If you haven't seen them or played them before, check them out! They're super inspirational."
Thank you Oskar, for inspiring others to do great things and attracting crowds of developers to listen to you speak!

Parag is director of machine intelligence at Kadenze and has a free online course on Creative Applications of Deep Learning with TensorFlow which inspired a nomination. One nomination called it "one of the most accessible Deep Learning for Artists online classes". Accessible online content which helps people get into deep learning isn't a small feat. Parag, thank you for a very valuable contribution to the AI community in 2016!
Twitter: @noopkat
Suz is very deserving of a nomination in 2016! She has put together a whole bunch of neat IoT/maker projects that have inspired many out there to give it a go, built AVRGirl (a Node.js alternative to interacting with Arduinos and other boards) and has given talks about working with emerging tech and JavaScript (a topic near and dear to me!). I interviewed her after her keynote at YOW! Connected! Thank you Suz, for all you did to support the developer community in 2016. You did a lot! Here's a nomination highlight:
"Suz spoke at YOW Connected and showed just how much she'd done to inspire people to explore new technology and use their JavaScript skills to create things they may have never known that they're able to create. She has also contributed tools for developers as well."
Twitter: @Darkolorin
Alexey is the founder of Prisma, an app that transforms your photos and videos into works of art using the styles of famous artists using neural networks and artificial intelligence. He was nominated quite specifically because of the Prisma app and how inspirational it was. Even Neil Gaiman, a big name in graphic novels, posted a Prisma selfie on Instagram! It works super well and has encouraged developers to find similar uses for AI.
Thank you Alexey, your work has inspired the community and a new round of AI developers.
Twitter: @SimoneGiertz
Simone is super creative and has taken building random gadgets to a whole new level! She has made all sorts of things from applause machines to a uArm robot arm that feeds her Cheerios for breakfast. The creativity and entertainment level of her robots is super inspirational. Here's a nomination highlight for Simone —
"Simone is hysterically funny. Thank you for brightening up a few moments of my 2016 and simultaneously inspiring me to build random robots in 2016."
Thank you Simone, for inspiring makers to get out there and make their own brand of fun robots!
Thank you to everyone who took time to anonymously nominate someone in the IoT and AI fields, there is so much that often goes unspoken and this article has only shone a light on a few of them. There are so many others out there who've inspired us in the IoT and AI field. Keep it up, let's have some really cool robots and connected devices in 2017!
Do you have great stories about any of our heroes above? Or do you have others who you'd like to shout out and thank for their work too? Please do so in the comments below!

Humans have become much taller and heavier, and experience healthier and longer lives than ever before in human history. However it is only recently that historians, economists, human biologists and demographers have linked the changing size, shape and capability of the human body to economic and demographic change. This fascinating and groundbreaking book presents an accessible introduction to the field of anthropometric history, surveying the causes and consequences of changes in health and mortality, diet and the disease environment in Europe and the United States since 1700. It examines how we define and measure health and nutrition as well as key issues such as whether increased longevity contributes to greater productivity or, instead, imposes burdens on society through the higher costs of healthcare and pensions. The result is a major contribution to economic and social history with important implications for today's developing world and the health trends of the future.Read more
- Groundbreaking overview of three hundred years of human development which brings together approaches from economics and anthropometric history
- Puts long-term changes in height, weight, morbidity and mortality in an international context, and projects these changes forward to anticipate future trends
- Eminent team of authors includes Sir Roderick Floud, and Nobel Prize winner Robert William Fogel
Reviews & endorsements
'The scope of this book is breathtaking in its description of the remarkable changes in human constitutions in the Western World over the last 300 years at a pace never seen before in history. Written from a multidisciplinary perspective, it will inform and excite persons in the health and social sciences and give them a new and valuable perspective on modern human development.' Nevin S. Scrimshaw, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and World Food Prize LaureateSee more reviews
'This contribution to a topic that is rarely out of the news for long is by four distinguished scholars, each an expert in his field, and one of them, Robert Fogel, is a winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics. Volumes produced as cooperative ventures can sometimes appear disjointed, but this is not the case here. There is a pleasing unity in style and presentation.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
'It has long been widely believed that the upper class look down on the middle and lower classes. Now science has established that this is literally, as well as figuratively, so. Thirty years of research by leading economists, biologists, historians and demographers has confirmed the towering status of the high and mighty. The Changing Body … concludes that there is a clear link between height and earnings. Increases in both, over the past 300 years, are greater than over the three preceding millennia, demonstrating that the changes are too rapid to be evolutionary. And the secret lies in nutrition.' The Independent
'Rich, complex but surprisingly readable, The Changing Body is a paradigm-shifting contribution. A sub-discipline that began modestly by identifying height as a secondary indicator of wellbeing now provides a way to conceptualize economic, indeed human, progress.' Jane Humphries, Oxford University
'Roderick Floud and Robert Fogel pioneered the study of the links between nutrition, health, and individual productivity in the past. In this book they, and their two colleagues Bernard Harris and Sok Chul Hong, conduct a masterful survey of what has been achieved in this field in the past quarter century, providing persuasive and thought-provoking evidence whose importance has been greatly underrated.' Tony Wrigley, University of Cambridge
'The authors of The Changing Body demonstrate the value of anthropometric data and information on health and mortality to the understanding of long-term changes in the economic development of the US, England, France, and elsewhere in continental Europe. They provide important new insights into the causes and consequences of economic change in the modern world.' Stanley L. Engerman, John H. Munro Professor of Economics and Professor of History, University of Rochester
'For nearly three decades, the Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert W. Fogel and a small clutch of colleagues have assiduously researched what the size and shape of the human body say about economic and social changes throughout history, and vice versa. Their research has spawned not only a new branch of historical study but also a provocative theory that technology has sped human evolution in an unprecedented way during the past century.' New York Times
'… one of the most comprehensive reviews of mankind's development ever undertaken. Nobel Prize-winning US economist Robert Fogel and a team of colleagues spent three decades pulling together statistics to show how we have changed since 1700.' Daily Mail
'The statistical analysis involved is subtle, sophisticated … The anthropometric approach to history described in this book is impressive and skilful, and is likely to become routine in the study of future influences on human development.' Nature
'The Changing Body offers an authoritative summary of the field of technophysio evolution … [the authors] generate new insights into contemporary development processes.' Science
'Applies a scientific rigour that is rarely encountered in historical work … Historians do not understand science, and scientists do not get history. Fortunately the twain meet in this work which offers a treasure trove for future scholars.' The London Magazine
'… a must-read for anyone interested in the insights that anthropometric history has produced in recent decades.' International Review of Social History
'… The Changing Body is a very important book … well written and organised … an excellent book that I will reread again and again for insight and inspiration.' Journal of Continuity and Change

Bolinhos de bacalhau (salt cod cakes) are one of the most popular bacalhau (salt cod) recipes and definitely the most common bacalhau appetizer in Portugal.
How to make authentic bolinhos de bacalhau?
Bolinhos de bacalhau are prepared by combining bacalhau with mashed potato, onion, eggs and parsley. The mixture is then shaped using two tablespoons into a torpedo shape, and deep-fried until golden brown (although they can also be shaped into round balls). They are tastier when enjoyed warm, when their texture is still crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are often eaten as a snack or appetizer, but can also be served as a main course when served with rice, salad and olives.
Those codfish croquettes are a must at most celebrations and gatherings in Portugal, but also traditionally served at the Christmas table.
Bolinhos de bacalhau is their name in Northern Portugal and Brazil. However, they are called pastéis de bacalhau in Central and Southern Portugal, as well as in other Portuguese-speaking countries including Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, as well as São Tomé and Príncipe.
Bacalhau or salted codfish is one of the most iconic ingredients of Portuguese cuisine. The Portuguese say that there is a bacalhau recipe for every day of the year. Some even say there are 1001 recipes available. Bacalhau is a staple of Portuguese cuisine that, depending on the recipe, can be boiled, stewed, roasted, baked or fried.
The history of bacalhau
Codfish started to be an important commodity since the time of the Vikings around the ninth century. The Norwegians were already using dried cod during their travels. During the following centuries, a dried cod market started to develop, mostly in the South of Europe.
The Vikings learned how to preserve cod by hanging it in the very cold air until it lost most of its weight to eventually become a more durable product. This allowed them to travel very far and for longer periods of time.
In the ninth century, the Vikings were occupying the banks of the Adour River (near today's Bayonne, France) and therefore interacted with the Basque people who became familiar with the technique of drying cod.
Unlike the Vikings, the Basques had access to large amounts of salt and sun. So, instead of drying it in cold air, they started salting cod and drying it under the sun. This new method contributed to making cod last longer. The Basques were therefore able to travel even farther than the Vikings. This salted dried cod, which was more durable, was also easier to trade. A century later, the Basques were trading cod far beyond the original northern habitat of cod.
Salting and drying to preserve food was not even a new idea at that time. Indeed, during Ancient Egypt and Ancient Rome civilizations, people used to salt fish as well as meats.
Before the Basques started preparing salted cod, they were salting whale meat. However, cod is an animal product that is more adapted to the salting preservation method. Indeed, cod's low fat content yields less spoilage. Cod could be preserved for longer periods of time than whale or herring, which have both a higher fat content. Most of the fat in codfish is located in the guts, including the liver from which cod liver oil is produced.
The Portuguese may have fished for cod for a long time, but the first written source dates from 1353 in an agreement between D. Pedro I and Edward II. This agreement allowed the Portuguese to fish in British waters. The Portuguese eventually discovered Newfoundland and gave it the nickname of Terra dos Bacalhaus (Land of Codfish).
Portuguese fishermen, as well as those from Brittany, Normandy, and England were first to adopt the salting and drying method from the Basque fishermen in Newfoundland at the end of the fifteenth century.
In the early 1500s, the British were importing most of their salt from Aveiro, in the center of Portugal. In exchange, the British provided protection to the Portuguese fleet. However, by the end of the 16th century, the British had control over Newfoundland and since Portugal was under Spanish rule, the Portuguese were often attacked due to the conflicts between England and Spain. By 1640, as Portugal became independent, most of its ships had been destroyed. The Portuguese bacalhau industry started to decline and most of the cod was imported instead.
In the following centuries, bacalhau became the ubiquitous ingredient of Portuguese cuisine that we know. The curing method has always helped preserve the nutrients of the fish but it also makes the cod tastier and more concentrated in flavors.
In the 1830s, the Portuguese tried to revive the fishing industry. Many young fishermen opted to go to sea to avoid being drafted in the army for the obligatory service that lasted six years. However, life for the fishermen was not really easy.
During the four decades of dictatorship of António de Oliveira Salazar from 1932 to 1968, cod fishing was subsidized by the government. Cod was an important ingredient for good Catholics on Fridays and holy days when meat was forbidden.
Today, although Portugal is the largest cod market globally and it is home to the largest processing company (Riberalves), there are just 10 Portuguese ships that are dedicated to the cod fishing industry. Established in 1985 by João Alves, the company Riberalves processes upward of 30,000 tons of cod every year, with 40% of this production being exported.
Although ready-to-cook and frozen bacalhau products have gained in popularity over the past couple decades, traditional salted dried cod remains the market leader. Frozen ready-to-cook bacalhau is prepared with fish that has been salted and dried. It is then soaked and frozen. These newer products now account for about 25% of the bacalhau market in Portugal.
Since the end of the twentieth century, the production of salt codfish from North America has dramatically declined in large part due to strict fishing regulation and a moratorium on Atlantic cod fishing in Eastern Canada. Unfortunately, the fish stocks have not replenished. Iceland and Norway have since emerged as the major suppliers of salt cod fish in Portugal.
In Portugal, bacalhau is called fiel amigo (loyal friend). Funny enough, there is actually no word for fresh cod in Portuguese. Instead, people call it bacalhau fresco (fresh salt cod).
History of fish cakes
According to Chinese popular folk tales, fishcakes may have been around for more than 4000 years. A story talks about an emperor called Shun who travelled to Southern China with his two wives. After a long journey, his wives became tired and lost their appetite. Shun became anxious and started searching for ways to address his wives' issues. A fisherman called Bo came along and gave his fish cakes to Shun. As Shun's wives really loved them, they retrieved their appetite, and Shun asked Bo to teach everyone how to make those fish cakes. It is supposedly how fish cakes became popular in China.
Another famous fish cake tale occurred during Guangxu Emperor's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1875-1908). Zheng (Guangxu Emperor's wife) loved fish cakes. She brought the recipe for fish cakes to the city where the royal family lived, and her fish cakes eventually became very popular. However, they disappeared after Zheng was murdered.
Fish cakes around the world
Fish cakes, in various forms, are very popular all over the world.
In Japan, fish cakes or kamaboko, have been popular since the Muromachi period (1336-1573). The fried version of Japanese fishcakes, called satsuma age, is also quite common.
Japanese fish cake was introduced to Korea during the Japanese occupation (1910–1945). Over there, they are made with corvina or cuttlefish and are referred to as eomuk or odeng. They are now often sold in food trucks, and are also traditionally served in a soup.
A spicy version of fish croquettes is also popular in the West Bengal state of India. Over there, this fish ball is known as macher chop.
In Indonesia, and more particularly in South Sumatra, fishcakes that are round or tube-shaped, are known as pempek or empek-empek.
Still in Asia, tod man pla is the ultimate street food in Thailand.
In England, the Yorkshire fishcake is served in parts of Yorkshire. It is prepared with two slices of potato, with cod or haddock fillets in between, then battered and deep fried.
In Denmark, they are called fiskefrikadeller. In Norway, the same fish cake is known as fiskekaker. They are typically prepared with pollock, haddock, herring, as well as salmon or trout.
In Jewish cuisine, gefilte fish can be assimilated to fish patties. They are typically prepared with carp, whitefish or pike, as well as matzah meal.
Romanians make fishcakes that are called chiftele de peşte and are prepared with carp, just like gefilte fish.
The Greeks are fond of kroketes psariou (kροκέτες ψαριού), which are prepared with flour or breadcrumbs, as well as eggs as the binding agent.
In Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, you will find bacalaítos.
Bolinhos de bacalhau are very similar to accras de morue (salt cod fritters) from the French West Indies, although accras substitute potatoes for flour.
Bolinhos de bacalhau are also quite popular in Spain and several Spanish-speaking countries where they are known as croquetas de bacalao.
And of course, even though they are not really fish, let's not forget crab cake, a specialty that is popular in coastal areas of the United States.
But back to our bolinhos de bacalhau. You can serve them with a wedge of lime, but more importantly, do not forget the cold beer!
This recipe is validated by our expert in Portuguese cuisine, Chef Alexandre Silva. Chef Alexandre is the Michelin starred chef-owner of the restaurant Loco in Lisbon.
- 1 lb bacalhau (salt cod)
- 1¼ lb potatoes
- 1 onion , finely chopped
- 1 bunch parsley , chopped
- 2 eggs , lightly beaten
- Salt
- Vegetable oil (for deep frying)
- Lime
- Soak the salt cod in water for at least 24 hours, changing the water 2 to 3 times.
- Boil the potatoes with the skin for about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Remove them from the pot, let cool, then peel them.
- Mash the potatoes with a ricer or a grater, but not with a food processor or blender to maintain a certain consistency.
- Remove the cod from the soaking water.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Reduce to medium heat and cook the cod for about 8 minutes.
- Remove the cod from the pot and let cool for a few minutes.
- Remove the skin and bones.
- Add the cod to the food processor and pulse a few times to shred into fine pieces.
In a large bowl, add the cod, onion, parsley, mashed potatoes and beaten eggs. Mix thoroughly.
- Using two tablespoons, shape the bolinhos into a torpedo or quenelle shape. Alternatively, you can form round balls with wet hands.
- Fry the bolinhos for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Drain them on a plate lined with paper towel.
Serve hot with a few wedges of lime.

Dear Xander and Phoebe,
Today is day seven we're blessed to be your parents, and your seventh day in the NICU.
Tomorrow you'll be one week old! It's been an amazing week getting to know you both. You're both so different and have individual, amazing personalities. Your Daddy and Abba never knew just how much you both would change our hearts, and it seems each day you steal more and more…
Phoebe: today you had a special day. You reached a few milestones and we're just so happy! You took an 11 ml bottle, you got a massage and a bath by daddy, and perhaps the most special was skin to skin with your surrogate mother, Ashly. You loved resting and being with her and she loved spending the time and getting snuggles. You even smiled for her and showed your gorgeous dimples!
Xander: today you were placed back under the UV lights. Your liver is still learning how to work, and that is ok…your nurse Ginger drew cute sunglasses on your baby raybands while you tanned. You also decided to baptize Abba. Twice. And it was a great laugh for everyone. You loved your swaddle bath today, too! Abba fed you two bottles while in your isolette, and then Daddy gave you you a bottle later that night. You're such a champ!
Your daddies took a class tonight with an organization called Helping Hands. We met other parents of NICU babies and it was amazing. We're making a commemorative bead necklace to mark each of your milestones…and we got to bond with other parents in similar situations. It was a great experience and we're thankful we attended!
We can't wait to celebrate one week of being your parents tomorrow. The milestones you've each reached and accomplished are literally amazing. It inspires us so much! The team of nurses, doctors, OT, RT and your daddies are helping you grow strong each day. Continue to grow. Continue to thrive. Continue to make us proud each and every day.
All our love,
Daddy and Abba

Eonon D5124F review
DerekJr. posted a topic in General DiscussionRight, I've been thinking about writing a detailed review about this Eonon after my purchase in Dec 2014. I'll try to update this review as time goes on, or when I get more use to it. I'm no car audio genius, so just bare that in mind, but I do appreciate a good product. Yes, I will be nit picking with a few issues I have, but that's just the way I am, and want to be unbiased. I'll break this review down into different sections so that it is easier to follow, towards the end I'll do a quick sum up (Pros and Cons). PS: I'll try and add pictures etc, and I'm no professional reviewer so take that into account. First off, my e39 came with the base "BMW Business" stereo which didn't deserve to have "business" in its name. Especially considering the price of the car when it was new and type of car it was/is (Midsize Luxury). I feel as if "BMW Poundland" should have been more appropriate – although to be fair to other stores, Woolworths (R.I.P), Primark or 99p Stores also qualifies for that fitting name. There were two main things I wanted to do regarding the stereo; 1. Improve the sound over the stock headunit, and 2. Upgrade the entertainment system so that I can at least have iPod playback, Sat nav and Bluetooth for phone calls etc. while maintaining the OEM look. A few stereos ticked a few boxes, and even less ticked all the requirement boxes. This left me with a few Eonon products, Andrive, Dynavin, and some unknown brands from eBay which didn't quite look OEM as the brands mentioned above, but looked more OEM than your generic single/double DIN stereos. Here's a little note, a lot of the brands mentioned above label the X5 (curved top) and E39 (just straight) style stereos together, so just be wary when buying. Of course it all depends on you, and what you want. Right let's get on with it! Sound: 6/10 All in all, the sound quality is a massive improvement over the standard non DSP/Hi Fi stereo. Yes, there is more bass but it's not an overly massive improvement. It won't match the sound of newer BMWs so if you like your boom boom, hip hopity music, then you won't get the improvement you so highly desire. This can't be entirely blamed on the stereo of course. This is due to the limitations of the speakers fitted to the e39 (4x5.25" and 2xTiny Tweeters). I had an E36 with the same set up and a JVC headunit and it sounds about the same. If you want the massive improvement in bass, then I'd suggest fitting a subwoofer (I will eventually get around to doing this). This is where the Eonon is one step up of the standard stereo. On the rear of the unit, there are plugs to plug in your subwoofer, and on top of that you can control the sound levels from the headunit (Bass, Treble, and Subwoofer). You can fit larger speakers in the front doors, but this would require some modification work. I gave it a 6/10, as I compared it to the standard unit (3/10) to a modern BMW (8.5/10) but will update it on fitting a subwoofer. Small clip of rear speakers >> http://instagram.com/p/xZtenahqBf/?modal=true Sound settings: Screen: 9/10 The screen is very good. I was thoroughly impressed by it. I was impressed by its size (7inch), its responsiveness (no lag or needing to press the screen twice), its clear picture, and when you switch your headlights on, the screen dims (you have a choice of your dimness too) so that it's not as blinding as boy racer's ill fitted HIDs in their Shitroen Saxos as they exit the local McDs drive thru. I haven't had the chance to watch DVDs on it yet, but will update when I do. Did I mention its touchscreen too? Which makes life easier. Don't get me wrong, I don't like touch screens on their own, they have to be accompanied by some kind of physical buttons or controller. For example, I wouldn't want to tap the screen a million times just to adjust the volume. It's nice to just turn a knob, although in the e39, you can use the steering wheel control. Usability: 7.5/10 I've rated this a 7.5 as it's quite easy to use no matter your age, from your rebellious teenage kids, to those ancient people who use carbon dating to calculate their ages. It's way easier than the iDrives used in the E60/E65, and is about on par with the modern iDrives or Audi's MMI. However, there are one or two issues that I've noticed. Yes, while there may be physical buttons to select the whatever source is required, I would have loved to see an "iPod" button somewhere on the stereo, instead of pressing the "source" button multiple times until you get to the iPod option. In fact "iPod" and "Aux" as well as "TV" (although not fitted at the moment so doesn't come up in the source search) are the only sources that does not have their own buttons. It would be better if they got rid of the "7" and "8" button (each FM/AM band only shows 6 stations anyways), and replaced them with an iPod and Aux one. The other issue is that when you are using the Sat Nav on the stereo, you can change songs by pressing next or prev buttons, but when you need to change the volume, you have to come out of the sat nav screen and go into whatever source you're listening to, otherwise if you don't, it will only adjust the sat nav volume, and once you leave the sat nav screen, it'll stop speaking directions to you like an annoyed girlfriend giving you the silent treatment on the way home from a disastrous dinner date. This is where a separate iPod button will be ideal, because if you are listening to your iPod/Aux and want to adjust the volume but you are on the sat nav screen, you have to press the source button multiple times which can be a little distracting while driving. iPod: This is as basic as a traditional African hut and probably the most disappointing part of the stereo. It feels like this was more of an afterthought to beat others on the market, like when Apple's CEO came out as gay, and the Samsung CEO later came out as more gay and waterproof. When it comes to this part, what the stereo says is "F**k this, I'm listing everything all under one folder". So if you've got a few playlists on your iPod for spirited drives on Friday evenings to your relaxing Sunday drives through the country side, it's won't come up on the stereo. You'll just have to flick through all your songs until you find the one you want to listen to. Also, sometimes the song title won't match the current song playing. I've connected two iPods to this stereo, an iPod nano 3rd Gen and a nano 6th gen. The 3rd gen connects no problem, however I do hear like a fax machine sound between every song. For the 6th gen one, I have to connect it twice because the iPod won't recognize the Eonon the first time. Once it's plugged in, the stereo charges the iPod which is good. But you can't plug a dead iPod in. It just won't play or charge it. Also, if you leave the car overnight or for a few hours, you have to unplug and re plug the iPod. SD card: Haven't tested this feature yet so can't really comment on it. I will update when I have. CD/DVD player: Not much to say about this, but I do miss using the BMW 6 CD changer. Only down side to this feature is that between playing each song, there's like a 2-4 sec gap, like the stereo is searching for the next song using dial-up internet connection speed or something. It is a bit of an issue when you're listening to the type of album where the songs "join" each other (i.e. the beginning of the next song plays at the end of the current song). I have yet to try DVDs, and MP3 CDs. USB: Works well. I can view pictures, listen to songs, and probably play videos, although I haven't tried the latter. One problem I have encountered is that it will not play songs from your iPod. I don't know if this is an iPod thing because the song are sorted through iTunes or not. FM/AM: Really love the FM/AM screen. I love how they display 6 stations on the screen and you can save the stations you like. If memory serves me well, there are 2 FM bands and 2 AM bands. Radio reception is poorer than the standard head unit, but I still get pretty much good reception for main stations like Radio 1 and Heart FM. I've noticed that if I travel out of town, where as the standard stereo might hold a good reception further on away from town, the Eonon will lose it. While the stereo might have RDS and use it to display the name of the station you are listening to, it will also mess up the clock. It'll put it 8 or 9 hours ahead of UK time. So for this reason, I deactivated the RDS so it no longer messes with the time, but sadly also no longer displays the radio station name. Also, when you've stored your stations on the radio and press next/prev on the steering wheel, instead of going to the next/prev stored station, it tunes up/down, so if you are listening to, for example Wave FM (105.20) and press next button on the wheel, it'll tune into 105.25. Radio screen (just shows the numbers) AUX: When I had my trouble with my Bluetooth (see below), I used the AUX input, and it worked very well. It uses a RCA to 3.5mm jack adaptor. RCA are those wires with the red, yellow, and white for Audio L, Audio R, and Video. I just plugged in the audio wires (red and white I think) and left out the yellow wire (video) which brought up the "No Signal" message on the screen when AUX is selected. Bluetooth: Right, I've only recently started using this feature. I tried to use it before, but it didn't work. I don't know if the fix was due to Apples update on my phone, or the fact I was pressing all the buttons like an old person who didn't know what they were doing, but I've finally got it to work. I can make/receive calls, and listen to music via Bluetooth. It can also upload your phonebook on the stereo, and you can scroll through your contacts by touching the screen and dragging up/down to your desired contact. For the calling part of it, it's very excellent. Mic is nice and clear, and I can hear the caller too! None of this "can you hear me now?....What about now?….And now?" business. The music streaming part is good, but not as clear as listening to your iPod or CD, but still pretty clear. What I'm trying to say here is that it's clear, but not crystal clear. I have unlimited internet on my phone, so I use Spotify via the Bluetooth. Also, it would be nice if the radio told you what song you were listening to on the screen lol. Also, the volume is a tad low on the Bluetooth. Bluetooth on the telephone screen: SatNav/GPS/Navi: This depends mostly on the software you go for, or receive with your unit. I opted not to get one from Eonon as I've read people change them any ways as they're not so good. Due this this, it didn't seem justified to spending more £££s on receiving a GPS software from Eonon…that is until I got my unit and tried searching for my own GPS software (iGO 8, or iGO primo 2.something). I'm not going to lie here, it is difficult. I signed up to some of those navi/sat nav/GPS forums to see if anyone would point me in the right direction, but nothing. I might as well have posted my requirements in a porn website, or a forum solely ran by the blind. In the end, a good gentleman from a facebook e39 forum helped me out with the basics. It's a pretty good software too, well better than my 3-4 year old Garmin. I just need to find some POI and SpeedCam files now. Overall: It's not a bad unit, however it's not the best one out there, and there are room for improvements. Yes, there are some quality issues here and there, but I don't regret getting it, especially with the BMW Poundland stereo it replaced. Since this model comes from outside of the EU, it incurs an import tax and duty fee, so just be wary of that. I was expecting to pay approximately £60 - £70 for it after researching for other people who have bought an Eonon for their Vauxhalls. So I was slightly surprise to find out it was £108…more than 1/3 of the actual price I paid for the stereo. One of the annoying things of the Eonon is that each source has its own volume. The bright side to this is that the stereo "remembers" what volume that was set for each source. The only problem with this is when you are on the Sat Nav screen and listening to music, when you go to decrease or increase the volume, the Sat Nav volume will go up/down, and not your music, so you'll have to select your source and turn down/up the volume that way. Another problem, well compared to the OEM stereo, the volume doesn't increase the faster you go. I miss this about the OEM stereo. The screen is very good, the system is not slow, and it offers almost everything and more you could want, all in one stereo, together with the OEM look. Fit and finish is almost perfect, it's only let down by the gap at the bottom, which cannot be seen from if you are sitting properly. Only if you bend down to the gearstick level, then you'll notice it. Perhaps it's just the way I fitted it….like a trial and error thing. The bottom gap: Pros: · Different sources playback including SatNav, digital TV (extra) and Bluetooth · Cheap to buy · Responsive 7" touch screen · OEM look · Improved sound compared to basic BMW stereo Cons: · Basic iPod playback (doesn't recognize playlists) · Import tax and duty can be costly · CD player gap between songs · Can't use BMW CD changer · Lack of speed sensitive volume 8/03/2015 - Update: So just after 2 months in, and the stereo is being problematic. After approximately 30 - 40 mins, the stereo goes silent..doesn't matter what source I choose. The screen still works and everything, just no sound. After switching it off for about 5 - 10 mins, the sound returns, so I don't know if it's a software issue, or if it's overheating. I tried resetting it, and jiggling the wire at the back. But it doesn't affect it. Now we can test their customer service and support. I've sent an email just a minute ago, and shall wait for their reply. I could have omit all this from this review, but that would be wrong So stand by folks! 9/03/2015 - Update: Received 2 replies this morning within 2 hours of each other. The 1st one as a confirmation that she'll speak to the tech. Then a second one with an update file, and instructions on how to update it. Will try it later and see if it solves the issue
16:9 Head unit replacement (Connections)
Stedjent posted a topic in E39 1996-2004Hi, I have a 528i E39 (98) with the old Radio/Cassette head unit and I am looking to swap it out for a 16:9. I have been doing some research, and the thing that I am a little confused about is my plug and play potential. From what I have read, if the car didn't have factory navigation, it should be plug and play, which mine didn't. I have taken the unit off today to check the connections (Pictures attached). Does anybody have any idea if I can get away with it? I have not fully decided on which head unit I am going to buy, most likely this one - http://www.eonon.co.uk/Specific-Car-GPS/D5166ZE.html However, if anybody can suggest better ones that would be fantastic. Cheers.
From the album: Eonon GA5166 Android head unitstill not securely fitted, just velcro'd in for now, need to sort aerial reception out. very happy with it so far.

There may be a number of reasons why you are looking for dentists in the Grand Junction, CO area who are capable of performing a full mouth restoration. Perhaps you didn't take care of your teeth the right way during your college years, or maybe a lack of dental insurance led you to avoid the dentist for years. Whatever the reason, there are also a number of solutions you may turn to in order to achieve a complete restoration. These include services like veneers, bonding and implants, which could put a pep in your step and restore your smile.
Dental Bonding
One type of restoration procedure your dentist might recommend is dental bonding. Bonding changes the shape and appearance of your teeth and is a possible solution for cracked or broken crowns. Expect the dentist to etch the tooth to give the surface a rougher texture. This allows the bonding to better adhere to the tooth. Your dentist will then apply a putty substance and mold the putty until it reaches the desired look. You'll need to sit under a UV or another type of light until the putty completely dries.
Dental Veneers
Another procedure used as part of a full mouth restoration is a dental veneer. A veneer is a thin and lightweight piece of porcelain or another material that the dentist attaches to your tooth. As with bonding, the dentist must first roughen the tooth before applying the veneer. The dentist may also take off a small amount of the enamel at the bottom of your tooth before taking a mold. The dental laboratory will then create a veneer that specifically fits your tooth. The dentist secures the veneer to your tooth with dental cement that holds up to chewing, eating or other things you do with your mouth.
Other Cosmetic Procedures
When visiting a cosmetic dentistry office in Grand Junction, CO, you should check out other dental procedures that could restore your teeth to their previous beauty. Teeth whitening lets you brighten your teeth by several shades, and dental implants can replace any missing or severely damaged tooth. Schedule a consultation with a local dentist, such as Grand Dental, P.C., to learn more about restoring your smile. The procedures your dentist recommends depend on how your teeth look and which procedures are right for you.
A complete smile restoration can improve your self-esteem and give you the smile you always wished you had in just a few simple appointments with your dentist.

I wanted an SLR camera for a while and finally took the plunge. I'm very happy with my new pictures. Just think after I take a class how cool the photos will be.

The 9th General Assembly provided a global showcase for the progress, innovation and achievements of IAPB members and key stakeholders in the eye care world.
With a mix of courses, symposia, lectures, satellite sessions, free papers and rapid fires the programme enabled discussions on current key challenges, identified emerging priorities and celebrated hard-won successes in blindness prevention. The programme helped broaden avenues for wider participation of 'neglected' aspects of eye care, like gender and the rights of those with irrecoverable vision loss.
In a survey conducted after the Assembly, 95% of the respondents asserted the relevance of the programme to them – each highlighting the learning and knowledge they picked up from the diverse sessions.
The links below will help you access presentations (PowerPoint) made during the 4 days of the Assembly. To help you navigate them, you can browse through the 9GA Programme Booklet, available for download at the link below.
