Methods for Determining Protein Translocation by the Legionella pneumophila Dot/Icm Type IV Secretion System

- … show all 2 hide
Legionella pneumophila the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, actively manipulates host cell processes to establish a membrane-bound replication vacuole permissive for its replication. Establishment of such replication niche requires the Dot/Icm type IV secretion system which translocates a plethora of effectors into host cells. Determining whether a particular protein is a substrate of the transporter is a prerequisite for subsequent functional studies. Thus, a variety of methods have been developed in the last decade to measure Dot/Icm-dependent delivery of protein into the host cell. The combination of these methods and the appropriate screening strategies has allowed for the identification of more than 270 translocated proteins. These efforts have laid a solid foundation for further study of the roles of these proteins in the interactions between L. pneumophila and its host. Here, we summarized the experimental details of these methods.

Allexis and Roxy came on the boat with JMac to have a fun day. They were both looking amazing in those tiny bikinis. It was not long until they were rubbing baby oil all over each other and shaking their asses. They glimmered in the sun as those fantastic round rumps jiggled around. Soon after, Allexis sucked that cock and got her pussy munched on. She got her pussy and asshole drilled. It was an awesome anal fucking time on the boat. She got man juice all over her.

How to use multiple SSH keys
Some times you need to use multiple ssh keys. When the remote hosts are different, this is trivial, but the thing gets complicated when you need to use multiple accounts in the same remote host.
For example, if you have a personal GitHub account and a different one for work, then things can get complicated. To solve this issue, we need to create a SSH config file. In OS X I placed it in ~/.ssh/config
. All the details on how to do this for the multiple GitHub account case can be found here.
Note that this method is very general. In fact, but adding other entries to the config file, I now have SSH keys for GitHub, BitBucket, Amazon AWS, etc.

She is 59 years old! 59! Just giving mother nature the fucking bird. Like she's not hot for being an old chick. She's hot on any level in any league. The absolute definition of the All American girl.

Here's a breakdown of the new changes Google announced this morning.
- Google Product Category column required in addition to Product Type column.
- Additional Image Link – up to 10 additional images are now allowed by including additional image columns in the feed.
- New rules for product variations: Google wants the parent SKU to be included with the child SKU.
- New Apparel Rules: Google now "requires" Gender, Age Group, Size & Color for apparel products. Seems like their best-case scenario is to get all child products included in the feed (they only want 1 value in the size/color columns) along with a parent SKU which would allow them to create a much more detailed product page for apparel products if they wanted to.
Google Product Category is now a required column in addition to the Product Type column. New definitions:
Google Product Category: This is where we put Google's categories found here - http://www.google.com/support/merchants/bin/answer.py?answer=160081.
Product Type: The merchant's category.
Until now we had been updating the product_type column with Google's recommended categorization. Now we need to add a Google Product Category column and move those values over to that column.
Additional Image Link: If we have multiple image URLs for a product we should be including them in the Google feed.
Variants: According to Google it's now required that product variants include some additional columns, most importantly an Item Group ID. Basically this is a parent SKU. If you have a merchant who has product variations Google is asking that all variations of a product be linked together by a Group ID.
This could lead to a decrease in the total number of listings for a merchant. For example, instead of having a listing for a red shirt, a white shirt and a blue shirt, Google might condense all 3 color variations into a single listing.
Apparel Requirements: The following columns are now listed as required for Apparel Merchants. FYI even if the merchant's category is clear that a product is apparel, Google will NOT recognize it as apparel unless you include the appropriate Google Product Category in the feed. Google let apparel merchants slide on the UPC requirement, but since they're unable to clean those listings up with product IDs it looks like they're trying to go about it by getting more detailed data from apparel merchants.
- Gender
- Age Group: The target age group of the item (either Adult or Kids)
- Color
- Size: They want actual measurements for things like dress shirts if possible. Their example is "17/36 Tall" for a men's dress shirt

Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: TUMI WFM COH EXPE CHK CRM (Update 1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
(Updates from 10:30 am ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk On The Street" Tuesday:
Luggage maker Tumi Holdings (TUMI - Get Report) has been doing quite well of late but shares of Whole Foods (WFM - Get Report) have been marking time. Year's end is traditionally a strong season for Whole Foods, Cramer reminded viewers.
Tumi shares packed in a nearly 4% gain Tuesday while Whole Foods closed 2.2% higher.
Cramer said a recent upgrade of Coach (COH - Get Report) may be a signal that things in China are beginning to recover. He was also upbeat on Expedia (EXPE - Get Report), saying the travel stock has been a nice performer recently. Coach was up 1.5% while Expedia rose 1.7% on the day. He was not as positive on Chesapeake Energy (CHK - Get Report), calling the stock "a dog." He reserved judgment on Salesforce.com (CRM - Get Report), saying he wants to see if the company can deliver on its promises once again. Shares of Chesapeake were up nearly 1% at the close while Salesforce.com was down by the same amount.

Many kinds of diet have come and gone through the years. Simply put, these diets may be effective or dangerous to one's health. With that said, there are times that diets are challenging particularly when instructions and effects are difficult to understand.
Given the reality that there are individuals who cannot immediately understand the different instructions or guidelines regarding diet methods or plans, steps must be taken to ensure information sent out is understandable to the layman.
In the past years, diets and weight loss measures have been a hot topic. According to some health experts, gaining a pound is not bad but gaining many pounds in a short period of time can be considered unhealthy. This is because it can cause serious health problems leading to more severe complications. Aside from obese individuals, a person who gains weights also needs to incorporate fat loss to their diet.
Proper diet to reduce unwanted fats in the body is considered the healthy choice, however not everyone prefers this because most people choose effects that are immediately observed. Aside from research, it is best to talk to an expert who can fully explain the importance of a healthy diet with exercise compared to crash diets. This is the reason why there are diets that are intended for fat loss for idiots, which are made easy to understand.
Fat Loss for Idiots Diet Guidelines Made Easy
Eat More Vegetables – Many people who are participating in fat loss diets are reducing their total food intake. Try to prevent this kind of method, it can help reduce unwanted fats but can cause serious health complications in the end. Try to eat regularly or maximize the food consumption by eating more vegetable. Eating lots of vegetables that includes broccoli, spinach, celery, and other vegetables are a good way to eliminate unwanted fat in the body without starving oneself.
Conduct Exercise – It is not difficult to understand the phrase "conduct exercise." Exercise is a great way to reduce or eliminate unwanted fat in the body. Simply prepare a regular schedule that should be followed. Different exercise methods can be performed including running, swimming, working out in the gym or playing good old basketball in the neighborhood. Regular exercise can be done 3-4 times a week, which should be followed by rest periods to prevent the body from fatigue and exhaustion.
No Upsize Meals – Try to understand the effects of eating too much food or for the layman "upsizing your meal." Big sized pizzas burgers, fries, and drinks sound temping but it can only triple the size of your waistline. Try to avoid eating these kinds of foods especially for people who are into fat loss diets.
Drink Plenty of Water – Instead of drinking carbonated drinks or instant mixed drinks; try to drink plenty of water. It should be at least 8 glasses or more a day. Water contains no calorie substances compared to any carbonated and mixed drinks. Thus, drinking plenty of water has the property to aid in the elimination of fatty substances in the body.
Mange to Eat Less Lean Meat – Lean meat is said to have the property to eliminate body fat. However, eating too much lean meat defeats its purpose, eventually, it only adds weights to a person. Try to manage to eat lean meats that are 3-4 ounces in size about the size of a palm of a person at least 2-3 times a week.
Do not Starve Yourself – Normally, there are people who are into diet programs that are more serious, which involves starving oneself to reduce body fats instantly. Although, this kind of method can instantly eliminate body fats, eventually it only worsens one's health condition. Make sure to avoid getting into this kind of fat loss method.
Discussed above are a couple of many examples of fat loss for idiots diet guidelines that are made easy to understand. Do not forget to utilize this guideline especially for people who have difficulties in understanding complex fat loss diet guidelines.

What is Wealthy Affiliate all about?
Wealthy Affiliate is an online community membership site founded in 2005 by two online marketers Carson and Kyle and it became the number one community for creating and growing a successful online business.
Wealthy Affiliate is more than just a training website. The platform has a huge online community who interact with one another and offer guidance and support.
Who will benefit from the Wealthy Affiliate University?
Although I highly recommend this program for beginners, WA provides training for people with different skill levels, from newbie's up to skilled marketers. Wealthy affiliate had gone out of their way to make the program accessible for everyone, including those who cannot afford to pay high prices for training or have a limited budget.
Here is some of the audience that benefits from WA:
- Internet Marketers
- Local businesses and companies
- Online merchants
- Local marketers
- People that wants to build their own website(s)
- People that want to sell their products online
- Retired people, looking for an additional income
- Individuals looking a trusted hosting platform
- Students
- People who want to turn their hobby into an additional income
- Bloggers and website owners that want to improve their sites.
The list is ongoing, but I am sure that you already see the benefits.
What you should not expect from Wealthy Affiliate...
WA IS NOT AN MLM program and you do not need to build a massive down line in to make money from the program. You are not required to sell WA itself.
Unless you are a skilled marketer, you will not get rich overnight. For WA is not a "get rich quick" scheme. The platform will help you to build a solid online business that will endure for a long time, along with active support that will be needed to subdue the "notion of doing it alone"
Wealthy Affiliate will not earn you money unless you are contributing and doing the hard work that is needed to become successful.

How can I earn from Wealthy Affiliate?
By inviting people to Wealthy affiliate using your unique tracking links you will be able to earn commissions when someone purchase the Premium membership. WA is not hard to promote, for the people immediately see the value that they offer and the Free Starter Member option makes it easier to gain leads than it would be to promote a program that requires a purchase before you have access into the program. The affiliate training is also a big bonus and they have tons of tutorials on how to promote and get targeted leads.
Does Wealthy Affiliate have any Cons?
I had found that the site has a huge amount of information and new members get somewhat overwhelmed if they do not follow the 1- start tutorials first on arrival. I had also found that there are certain times during the day when many members are not online, so you have to adapt times to get on when most members are active, especially if you live in a country that have a huge time difference. The live chat can also get addicted and cause you to become less productive and prevent you from concentrating on the training itself.
How much does it cost to join Wealthy Affiliate?
Starter Membership – Free
Premium Membership - $47 month or $359 yearly
If you upgrade to the premium membership within 7 days your first month access will only be $19.00
Questions and Answers...
How long can I be a free member?
You can stay a free member for as long as you want to. You will have lifetime access.
Are there any up-sales?
No, the free membership does not require you to purchase any additional services or programs. The premium membership is fixed at $47 a month or $359 a year. This includes unlimited domains and access to all the training.
I do not have my own product, do I need one?
Absolutely not, WA will teach you how to find the right product(s) that will complement your site. WA is for total newbie's and advanced marketers, you do not need to be skilled, you are going to learn how to become skilled.
Is there a change that I will not succeed?
Yes, there is. If you join the program in hopes to make thousands within days it is not the place for you. If you think that you will become rich without doing much, then move on. Building a successful online business takes time, hard work and total dedication, you do not need WA if you do not want to learn and implement.
Here are some genuine success stories from real active members. Obviously there are many more, feel free to go check them out.
My first 100 dollar day...
My first sale...
Success story...
What about a money back guarantee?
The answer is no. Why? Because, you join as a free member. For seven days you have full access to WA and have the chance to check out everything before going Premium. This will give you plenty of time to make sure that you are happy with what is offered. If you cannot afford the premium or do not want to upgrade you can stay a free member and still have access to your blogs and basic training. You are free to cancel your membership at any time and payments will not be deducted.
Is Wealthy Affiliate International?
Yes, you can join from any country that supports PayPal (to receive payments) or if you have a valid method of payment. (Visa, MasterCard, Payoneer, CardFlex and so forth.) It would be pointless to make money online if you do not have a payment system.
If you are a premium member and want your own domain(s), this will be an additional cost. This is entirely up to you and not a must have. Domains are cheap and goes for around $10 a year. Nothing else is required.
Mobile Friendly?
The platform is mobile friendly and you can use it on most devices that includes your iPad, android device or Windows phone. WA also have a handy app on Google play that will allow you to access your training, the chat rooms and your websites to only mention a few.
Any rules?
Yes. WA strives to provide the best platform that will allow members to grow, communicate and learn. Nothing can be more annoying than a spammy platform that pest members with constant "buy now or be poor forever" promotions. WA is SPAM FREE, and if you do spam you will suffer and get a penalty. You are allowed to promote your products on your personal blog, you are not allowed to promote directly to members by using the chat room, discussion board, comments on profiles and the WA micro blogging system.
What is the risk of joining WA?
There is no risk – you join for free and make a clear decision if you want to upgrade or not. You will receive NO PRESURE FROM ME!
Why do I promote WA?
The answer is simple, I strive to be a marketer who have pride and deliver quality. I do not want my name to be associated with a half baked product or scammy service that sell lies and does not deliver quality. WA allows me to be that.
My Opinion...
Within the last few months, I had done some extensive research into programs that claims to help new as well as advanced marketers build themselves an online business that will help them to earn from the internet. Finding a suitable program that will help my readers without milking them for money was no easy task for most platforms are too expensive without quality, they have no support or lack of basic training.
I personally tested many programs to give a good feedback that will benefit most skills and personalities, but most programs are designed on MLM and promoting the product itself without the proper training.
Due to my own experience with several programs, I know that new marketers need a structure to get them going and that would be:
Affordability – New and even existing marketers have limited funds, most people start on a small budget and simply cannot afford to pay for expensive advertising or constant upgrades. When individuals see all the upgrades or up-sells for different products or services, they automatically enter a negative mindset because they know that if they do not earn quickly, they will lose a huge sum of money. Wealthy Affiliate has a free option and members can test the program without any obligations, especially if they are not sure about the direction they want to take in the online industry. The premium membership is at a fixed rate and that gives members the freedom to work on a budget without having to worry about working harder just to upgrade to another level.
All in one platform – Again, I am looking out for my readers when it comes to finances. To become successful, we all need additional services like hosting, a blog or site, content and various tools to run our businesses successfully. These services and tools can add up to an expensive amount when you put it all together, and new as well as existing online entrepreneurs struggle immensely to keep up when they don't earn from the internet yet. Wealthy Affiliate has done a great job to add the essential tools and services into one platform to get new marketers to get that crucial head start.
Support – This would be the most important part for me since I believe that new online entrepreneurs are not able to get successful by themselves. People who have absolutely no clue about earning an income online enter this industry on a daily basis and the World Wide Web has tons of "money making" programs, products and tutorials that confuse new marketers badly and even cause a massive amount of people to fall into scams or empty promises. It has been proven that most successful online marketers had some kind of mentor or support program that guided them into becoming successful. Wealthy Affiliate provides one on one support and training, making it easy for newbie's to feel comfortable with the aspects of building their businesses.
Famous online marketers with a huge audience creates a lot of membership sites as well as learning programs; therefore, there is no or very little interaction from them. Kyle and Carson the owners of WA are actively involved in within their own membership site and even answer questions personally - That alone shows the great amount of dedication they have when it comes to helping members.
Inspiration - Without motivation, it is hard to complete anything in life, not to mention starting up an online business. Wealthy Affiliate keep their learners motivated by setting up goals and then reward those who had met the goals by giving away something of value. For most individuals it is much easier to reach success when they have something to work towards that is worth the effort.
My Conclusion
I recommend this program highly for any new entrepreneur and even for those who still struggle to earn a decent income from the internet. I truly believe that the owners of Wealthy Affiliate have the right mindset into helping people to achieve their online goals. The design is professional without flashy buttons, fake promises or constant promotions.
The affiliate tools are simple yet effective and a trademark of professionalism for there is no annoying sales page or any traces of spam related advertising materials. To be successful online a person needs to learn how to act in a professional way and brand him or herself along with the product they promote in a proper manner. Wealthy Affiliate most certainly has the same principle.
Wealthy Affiliate gives you all the building materials, but the rest will be up to you. Getting started is always the hardest part, but with the right motivation and positive attitude there is absolutely no reason to fail.

PR: What Not to Do: Distract With Omission
- Posted by Johanna on December 30, 2010 at 10:09 pm
- Category: Digital and Webcomics
I was recently informed that the upcoming TNT TV series Falling Skies — a show due in June 2011 starring Noah Wyle and about the aftermath of an alien attack (it sounds to me like V meets The Walking Dead) — has a tie-in webcomic. It's written by Paul Tobin (Marvel Adventures Spider-Man, Spider-Girl) and drawn by Juan Ferreyra (Rex Mundi). There are four four-page chapters up so far, with the promise of a new chapter every two weeks.
It's a relatively standard promotional item, with not much to particularly recommend it so far if you're not already interested in the show, so why am I mentioning it? Because every single promo piece about it I've seen includes this sentence: "the Falling Skies Web Comic will bridge the gap between the 12-page Falling Skies comic released at New York Comic Con." Which sets my teeth on edge. Last time I checked, to be between, you need two things, one on either side. I'm guessing the missing endpoint is the show itself, but it just seems sloppy to omit the explicit mention, and now, any time I hear of the series, that's all I think about, the dangling reference.

Did you know that drinking just one daily soda can put 15 pounds of extra weight on you in one year?
That sobering statistic was discovered by the Harvard School of Public Health, in a study published in 2006 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. For those with arthritis, weight gain means added pressure on aching hips and knees. But there's more bad news. The phosphorus in soda is suspected of causing calcium loss. That's an essential bone-building mineral people with arthritis can't afford to lose!
1. The origins of soda. Today's carbonated soft drinks have little in common with the first carbonated beverages. Soda was invented in the early 1800s as "imitation mineral water" and sold for its health benefits. Almost forgotten now, the original sodas were formulated as a nerve tonic containing the stimulants of both coca leaves (cocaine) and cola nuts, as well as wine. Only later were they reformulated with sugar instead of wine or cocaine, and mass-marketed as refreshments.
2. Soda — the weight-gain drink. The red-and-white logo of that early coca beverage is now a behemoth that dominates the global bottled beverage industry. There's no escaping it. Each 12-ounce can contains a seemingly innocent 140 calories and 39 grams of "carbohydrates." What isn't obvious from the label, though, is that carbohydrates in a soda means sugar (usually high-fructose corn syrup) — in fact, 13 teaspoons of table sugar in every can!
3. Reduce arthritis pain with healthy drinks. The healthiest beverage for healing arthritis doesn't come in a red-and-white can. In fact, you won't hear much about this one. That's because it's too ubiquitous and too obvious. Yes, I'm talking about clean, filtered water — the kind that you filter at home and carry in a stainless steel or glass bottle. Commercial bottled water is unregulated, polluted, and the plastic leaches into the water and is terrible for the environment. Read more here.
If you're glum about the dullness of water, that's because your taste buds have been co-opted by your soda habit. Soon you'll find water to be satisfying and refreshing. But in the meantime–and to mix things up—try these healthy, jazzy alternatives.
It's quick and easy to make healing spritzers with seltzer water or naturally sparkling mineral waters, which have no phosphorus. So try adding a splash of 100% real fruit juice to it. Teas help fight free radicals and inflammation. Ginger is a fantastic anti-inflammatory, so steep ginger in water and add it to your teas and spritzers. Or whip up a fruit smoothie from unsweetened almond milk, berries, almond butter and a spoonful or two of ground flaxseed. Both your taste buds and your joints will thank you.
Check out our Ginger Green Tea Pomegranate Spritzer for Juicy Joints. It's honest-to-goodness healing refreshment.

1.0 As part of an enhanced focus on monitoring and managing for results at the program level, it is recommended that a Results Framework encompassing the expected program results, with appropriate performance indicators and data collection strategies to collect the necessary baseline and performance data at key points, be developed and put in place for the next CDPF. The inclusion and monitoring of emerging risks should be an integral part of this important management tool. |
1.a Agree with this recommendation. It is now contained in CIDA's draft CDFP guidelines. 1.b Under the Ghana 2007-2015 CDPF the program will monitor and manage results through a Performance Measurement Framework that identifies key indicators for program results. These CDPF results flow up from sector strategies, which in turn, flow from Ghana's goals and targets. Where feasible and logical, CIDA will use local systems for measuring broad progress against key results. Some results, such as control of corruption, for example, will be monitored through international indicators and surveys such as Afrobarometer and the Ghana Integrity Initiative. The broad information will be augmented by ongoing information emanating from monitoring and evaluation of individual program initiatives. Each spring, information from CIDA's investment level results will be reviewed alongside progress monitoring at the national and sector levels and integrated into an annual report for the program. Each fall, at a retreat, the Ghana program team will review progress against results and lessons learned and make adjustments to results, indicators and programming. At the CDPF implementation mid-way point (about 2010-11) the program will undertake an internal reassessment of the Ghanaian environment and results to date, the program risk profile and management strategy. Adjustments will be made to the CDPF, if required. |

2.0 In the context of continuing general and/or sector budget support and other Program-based modalities with the GoG and other donors there is still a place for traditional projects as a complementary programming modality to reach target groups and intended beneficiaries in areas that are difficult to reach with such modalities, or for initiatives not specifically covered in those modalities. It is therefore recommended that the Ghana Program continue to take advantage of opportunities that utilize traditional projects, both as complementary programming mechanism and as a key risk mitigation strategy in the utilization of these aid modalities - the latter through further capacity building with relevant GoG ministries and institutions, in areas such as procurement, public financial management, monitoring and reporting. |
2.a Agree. The Program agrees that there is still a place for traditional projects as a programming modality. The program takes this recommendation into consideration in the context of the state of overall donor coordination and harmonization in Ghana and the state of donor-government interaction. The rationale for the use of traditional projects to address "areas that are difficult to reach" has to be balanced with the ever-growing genuine Ghanaian leadership and ownership of their development agenda and the need for Ghanaians to invest in these "difficult to reach" areas themselves. Traditional projects, and even more so policy dialogue, can help bring attention to certain issues (e.g. regional inequalities between north and south), but the country is leading its development agenda and targeting "difficult to reach" areas on their own volition. 2.b All this said, the Ghana program feels it is important to have some balance in our programming portfolio and to use a limited variety of complementary delivery modalities. Current planned traditional and pooled-traditional investments include: projects aligned with Government sector strategies (e.g. Central Governance Project II); projects that provide technical assistance to Government and non-state actors; and investments that support the capacity and role of independent governance institutions and civil society. Moving forward, it will be critical for CIDA not to duplicate what other donors are supporting but rather to rely on their capacity when it is more efficient and effective to do so. |

Ongoing for new projects as per the CDPF pipeline. | Approvals in process. |
3.0 In order to sustain CIDA's efforts in the governance sector in Ghana, it is recommended that the Program develop a clearly articulated approach which selectively focuses on strategic aspects such as the policy and enabling environment, including a decentralization component, in line with the National Decentralization Action Plan. Continued policy dialogue with the GoG and other donors would also need to be an essential component. |
3.a Agree that the Program should have a clearly articulated governance approach. A revised governance strategy with a PMF is nearing completion. The focus of this strategy is being determined through dialogue with both state and non-state actors and donor colleagues. 3.b In the 2007-2015 CDPF the emphasis on good governance as both a separate sector and as an imbedded element of the other two focus sectors will increase. The Program's shift towards supporting country-owned strategies and delivery systems has highlighted the importance of good governance. This implies ensuring that Ghana is a capable state - accountable to its citizens and operating under the rule of law - and that the entities representing citizens are knowledgeable participants and in policy and spending decisions, capable partners in program delivery and credible monitors of performance. Under its governance program, CIDA will incorporate a number of GoG strategies for improved governance, including Ghana's updated Decentralization Policy, its Public Sector Reform Strategy, a Public Financial Management Work Program and its Gender and Children Policy. Enhanced civic engagement is a Ghana Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy priority that the program will support by contributing to civil society and capacity building initiatives. Governance is a sector where the potential for synergy with other CIDA and DFAIT support channels (as well as with other donor and GoG programmes) is particularly strong. |
Program Director; Governance Team Leader and the Governance Team members | Draft Governance Strategy due March 31, 2008 | Draft Strategy and PMF about to be submitted to Director. |
4.0 It is recommended that the Program develop a carefully articulated Gender Equality Strategy taking into consideration the need to mainstream GE at various levels in the country, opportunities to build the capacity of selected key ministries and institutions that can facilitate this and possibilities of pooling resources and coordinating efforts with other like-minded donor for specific GE investments. |
4.a Agree. 4.b Equality between women and men is a cross cutting theme under the 2007-2015 CDPF. 4.c The program has developed an internal Strategy for equality between Women and Men to comprehensively articulate the issues and approaches to this cross cutting theme. This features: a program-led GE PMF, a practical GE tool key and the roles and responsibilities and accountability of all CIDA staff, as well as Canadian and local partners. Gender results have been integrated into the draft CDPF and Sector Strategy PMFs. The Program will adopt a two-pronged approach to the integration of gender issues at the organizational and operational levels. First, gender will be integrated into the design and implementation of all initiatives and within that, gender will be directly targeted though specific initiatives and resources for equality between women and men. Second, there will be a continued strong focus on policy and budget support dialogue which will focus on providing support for equality as a category for analysis, inclusion and measurement as well as for equitable polices and fair distribution of GoG resources. Another element of the program will be the inclusion of gender targeted programming that complements the main program foci |

5.0 It is recommended that the Program pay greater attention to the environmental sustainability of CIDA interventions in Ghana by mainstreaming environmental considerations in all its interventions through the use of available tools such as Environmental Impact Assessments and opportunities for pursuing inter-sectoral linkages in its areas of programming (such as food security/agriculture and water). |
5.a Agree. 5.b The Ghana Program has moved to pay greater attention to the environmental sustainability of interventions via the preparation of a CDPF Strategic Environmental Assessment and the hiring of a Senior Environmental Advisor working out of the Program Support Unit. The Program has also retained the position of one Canada Based Officer responsible at the CHC responsible for overseeing both the work of the Environmental Advisor and complementary direct environment sector programming initiatives. |

6.0 As programming is undertaken more jointly with the GoG and other Development Partners, there is a need to evaluate together. As with joint programming, joint evaluations require significant up-front planning and coordination and should be considered at an early stage when discussions about the joint programming among the partners are taking place. It is therefore recommended that the CIDA Program take the lead in initiating discussions with the GOG and DPS about the scope and scheduling of possible joint evaluations early in the process when joint programming initiatives are being planned. The Evaluation Division would be a useful resource for needed advice and support in this process. |
6.a Agree. When undertaking joint initiatives, the Ghana Program normally engages in joint appraisal and design missions with other donors and GoG stakeholders. Before joint programming commences there is usually a joint MoU or Framework Memorandum that outlines agreements on the scope and scheduling of joint monitoring and evaluation as well as other arrangements (e.g. steering group) for the joint management of the investment. The Program will definitely discuss the scope and scheduling of joint evaluations during the planning stage of joint initiatives. 6.b Normally, the sector or steering group undertakes regular joint monitoring reviews and, when the previously identified time for the joint evaluation nears, the chair (sometimes CIDA) of the group leads the partners in the preparation of the joint evaluation. In the past the Program has found PKMB to be a good resource for support in the joint-evaluation process. For example with the evaluation of the Multi-Donor Budget Support Program a PKMB HQ representative assisted the evaluation steering committee team (comprised of four donors plus the GoG) in the preparation of the ToRs for the evaluation. PKMB also assisted with the post-evaluation results dissemination process. |

Pool parties have been a hot ticket since the days of elementary school, and on Wednesday night Soho House hosted a grown-up version -- though at this one, nary a splash was heard.
As part of the club's Wednesday night "Skinny Dip" rooftop party, nattily attired members and their guests -- some reclining on chaise lounges, others eating supper at nearby tables -- watched as Matthew Williamson's pre-fall fashions were paraded down a poolside runway. But not before the dance duo House of Ninja performed a cross between a Tibetan warrior dance and Eighties-style voguing. (This was intended to tie in with the collection's "Tibetan warrior meets rock 'n' roll" conceit.) There was also a vocal set by Valerie Geffner, which began with some vigorous throat singing. However, a promised acrobatic burlesque troupe did not appear.
Love them or hate them, it's hard for Williamson's riotously patterned
designs to take a backseat to anything. But book-ended as it was by
outrageous performances, the show came across more as entertainment
than fashion. The host, drag queen Flotilla DeBarge, led the crowd in a
series of call-and-response cheers. Meanwhile, a group of men who
seemed straight out of a Bret Easton Ellis novel could be overheard
providing snarky commentary, dismissively referring to the models as
"catalogue action" (and rating their attractiveness on the standard 10
point scale).
However, a cheer did go up from everyone, even the self-appointed
critics, when one lass, who sported both a Mohawk and a long braid,
vogued her way down the runway with self-conscious sass. And while the
chaos may have eclipsed the clothes, the company is clearly hoping to
appeal to the rooftop set -- upon leaving, attendees were presented with
20 percent off coupons, which contained directions to the designer's
store several blocks away.

Messersmith Homes
Homes on the water
Arny Messersmith builds floating homes: not houseboats, which are what client Wayne Greenwood calls "the seafaring equivalent of a mobile home," but rather fully-built and -featured custom homes that just happen, by way of magic or perhaps physics, to float. In fact, Redwood City's Docktown Marina, home to Greenwood's house (pictured at right and in the extended entry at MoCo San Francisco), has become a sort of mecca for modern floating-house aficionados.

Big Brew Miami at Lou's Beer Garden Celebrates Home Brewers
Photo by George Martinez |
More pool than garden. |
The festivities start at 5 p.m. with complimentary home-brewed beer tastings and beer bites. Though this is not a judged competition, attendees will receive ranking sheets so they can rate the entries for color and taste. At 6 p.m., glasses will be raised in a simultaneous toast at all 192 Big Brew venues.
Christine Najac from South Florida Food & Wine and Dave Crisafi from South Florida Beer Blog will both be in attendance and two local home brewers, Brett Borrow and Michael Arnold are scheduled to showcase three beers and ales each. More home brewers are expected to be announced.
Ann Castellano, co-owner of Lou's Beer Garden is excited about the event. "It's such an amazing event. We have an excellent beer community in Miami and we're hoping a lot of people come out to support home brewing."
If you're a home brewer, it's not too late to participate. "We would love to get more home brewers," said Castellano. We're welcoming any recipes, especially unusual ones."
Admission is free to the event, but RSVPs are required. To RSVP for the event (or if you're a home brewer who wants to participate), call Ann at 305-704-7879 or email her.

Hiring a Babysitter
On January 7, 2009 @ 12:31 pm In All Articles
Feeling a little like the umbilical chord is still attached?
It's time to get out of the house for an hour or two or three. Maybe a quiet, romantic dinner with your best friend will help. Or better yet, how about a weekend retreat with a good book and a bubble bath?
It may sound like a good idea until you start looking for someone to take care of your children with allergies, asthma, hives, eczema, and food allergies!
Aside from the obvious candidates – grandparents, other family members, godparents, and neighbors – responsible teenage babysitters can also take temporary but excellent care of your cherubs with allergies and asthma.
* Interview prospective babysitters to determine their interest in caring for children with special health needs.
* Ask for references from other parents.
* Hire the babysitter to spend an afternoon or two with you and the children. Use this time to teach the babysitter about your child's special needs.
* Post emergency contact information and instructions on the refrigerator door or other clearly visible and accessible location.
* Leave a written letter giving permission to authorize treatment in the unlikely event that you cannot be reached in an emergency.
* Never leave your child in the care of another person when their asthma symptoms are not under good control.

Electrolux Shows BP How Green Marketing Is Done
- |
- 11:22 am |
- Permalink
As marketers increasingly look to brand their companies as "green" to win a larger share of consumers' greenbacks, the vacuum maker Electrolux's green marketing campaign offers stark contrast to BP's "greenwashing."
The embattled oil company changed its logo into a green-and-yellow sunflower and its slogan to "beyond petroleum" — then allowed millions of gallons of oil per day to spew directly into the Gulf of Mexico in an ongoing ecological disaster.
Electrolux, on the other hand, goes well beyond green sloganeering with its well-timed announcement of a plan to turn some of the discarded plastic in the oceans into vacuum cleaners.
Sure, it's a publicity stunt. But …
"Our oceans are filled with plastic waste," said Electrolux president and CEO Hans Stråberg in a statement. "Yet on land, there is a shortage of recycled plastic. The supply of sustainable raw material, such as recycled plastic, is crucial for making sustainable appliances, and assisting consumers in making their homes greener. I therefore hope people will join us in raising awareness about the threat plastic poses to marine habitats, and the urgent need for taking better care of the plastic that already exists."
To reclaim the plastic, Electrolux will "work with experts and volunteers" to dive, fish, and scavenge several concentrated plastic hotspots in the world's oceans, as part of its Vac From The Sea project: the Pacific, Indian, Atlantic and Mediterranean oceans, as well as the Baltic and North seas.
Plastic is the main ingredient in today's vacuum cleaners. Electrolux product manager Jonas Magnusson claims that the company's line of green devices currently contains 70 percent recycled plastic, and that the main barrier to increasing that to 100 percent is the lack of available plastics to recycle.

As part of the drive to transform the passenger experience at Stansted Airport new owners, Manchester Airports Group (M.A.G) will introduce a new free Wi-Fi service for passengers throughout the terminal from 1 April - free for 60 minutes - and that's no April Fool!
'_stanstedairport' is the free Wi-Fi network that will be available to smart phone, tablet and laptop users by completing a simple registration process. Even better, the system recognises previously registered devices so there's no need to re-register each time you're at the airport.
Stansted's Terminal Manager, Neil Banks, is delighted with the new free Wi-Fi, he said:
"We live in a modern mobile world where accessing the internet on smart phones, tablets and laptops is now a daily routine. As part of our drive to improve services for passengers we're delighted to offer one hour free Wi-Fi throughout the terminal, enabling customers to get those last minute emails, conference calls and social media updates done before taking flight.
"The new service will also be particularly convenient for UK residents not on 3G or 4G mobile contracts and for overseas visitors who would otherwise incur expensive roaming costs."

Northwest Coalition for Responsible Investment
24% of Shareholders Call on Bank of America to Assess Role in Climate Change!
At Bank of America's annual meeting, 24% of the Bank's shareholders asked the Company to assess its exposure to climate change in its lending, investing and financing.
In April an investor letter, endorsed by over 50 institutional investors who collectively represent nearly $35 billion in managed assets, was sent to CEO Brian Moynihan requesting that management reconsider its opposition to their proposal requesting an assessment and report on its financing of GHG emissions.
Sr. Judy Byron who filed the resolution on behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, US Ontario Province wrote, "As responsible investors, many of us representing faith communities, we are concerned about the environmental and social impacts of climate change and what it means for the planet and its people, particularly those most vulnerable – the poor and marginalized, who often feel these impacts most keenly."
