September 21, 2016 — By Rachel Quint and Sarah Lucas
The global evidence-informed policymaking extravaganza kicks off this week with the Africa Evidence Network's EVIDENCE 2016 event in Pretoria, South Africa. As we head to some of these events, here's what we hope to see and hear:
Is there momentum for evidence-informed policy in developing countries?
Our hypothesis is that interest is growing. We'll be watching to see if there are organizations and individuals—pioneering governments, think tanks, evaluators, data gurus, or evidence translators—leading the way in developing countries. Better yet, we hope to see a global community taking shape, with enthusiasm for collective learning across countries and areas of expertise.
Do global and regional efforts help at the country level?
Most of the events this fall will bring people together to learn about evidence-informed policymaking, build a community of practice, and share experiences. Will these meetings in New York, Pretoria, London, and Lima increase the use of evidence in developing countries? We won't be able to identify country impacts right away, but we'll be looking for promising signals.
What concepts and practices are we missing?
We are developing our own approach to evidence-informed policymaking at the Hewlett Foundation, but are eager to learn how others think and talk about what enables and motivates policymakers to use evidence.
Who else is working to promote and improve evidence-informed policymaking?
We know many great organization and individuals working in this area, but hope to see and learn from many more in the weeks ahead.
What are you hoping to get out of the global evidence-informed policymaking extravaganza?

September 8, 2016 — By Sarah Lucas and Rachel Quint
Hold on to your seats, evidence enthusiasts! Whether you're a fan of evidence-informed policymaking, evidence-based decisions, or just what works, you're in for an action-packed few weeks. Not even the most globetrotting devotee could make all the events September and October have in store, so here is a quick guide to what's on, what we're watching for, and how you can keep up with the details.
Follow the Evidence: The Promise and Potential for a Different Approach to Policymaking (Washington, DC, September 8)
The Bipartisan Policy Center event will be one of the first public discussions about the new U.S. Commission on Evidence-Based Policymaking, recently created with rare bipartisan support. These are tough political times for new policy initiatives in the United States, so we'll be looking for champions in Congress, the administration and outside groups to talk about how to carry evidence-informed policymaking into the next administration and new Congress. You can count on our friends at Results for America to follow this one, or follow on Twitter @BPC_Bipartisan.
EVIDENCE 2016 (Pretoria, South Africa, September 20-22)
The Africa Evidence Network (AEN) will host EVIDENCE 2016. The event will draw senior policy officials from across Africa and organizations working to increase policymakers' access to and use of evidence. AEN began as a network of partners in the DFID-funded Building Capacity to Use Research Evidence (BCURE) program, and is now 700 organizations strong. We're excited to see what the network's members are learning about fostering an evidence-informed culture in Africa. We'll especially be looking for conference reflections from the team at the African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP) given their leading role as an evidence-to-policy translator.
UN General Assembly annual meetings side events (New York, September 19-26)
The UN General Assembly (UNGA) will discuss the global refugee crisis and the Sustainable Development Goals. The week will include events on Big Data and Refugees and Data for Climate Resilience, and feature an event of the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data, and a "Data Playground." We'll be watching whether data enthusiasts focus on using better data to achieve the SDGs, not just monitor them. Keep the pulse through UN Global Pulse and the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data.
What Works Global Summit (London, September 26-28)
The What Works Global Summit (WWGS) will bring together hundreds of evidence-oriented policymakers, scholars, advocates and funders to dive into scores of evidence-informed policymaking topics. Hewlett's Sarah Lucas will host a session that will put two Think Tank Initiative organizations on center stage. "Bringing Evidence-Informed Policymaking to Life: Films and Discussion from Senegal and India," will feature research-to-policy stories from the Consortium for Economic and Social Research (CRES) in Senegal and the Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP) in India, and frank dialogue with the scholars and policymakers that made them possible. Get sneak peeks at the videos here and here, and keep track of WWGS highlights from Campbell Collaborative, 3ie, or any of the dozens of other partners. Or follow on Twitter at #WWGS2016.
Ghana Education Evidence Summit (Accra, September 27)
This Summit caught our attention because it is co-hosted by Innovation for Poverty Action (IPA) and the Ghana Ministry of Education. This collaboration reflects one of the main hypotheses about fostering evidence use: partner with policymakers from the outset to identify policy questions that evaluation (or research or data) should address. We'll be looking to the team at IPA to share lessons about whether this approach leads to more reliance on evaluation findings in formulating policy and implementing programs. On Twitter @poverty_action.
Evidence Works 2016: Global Forum for Government (London, September 29-30)
Results for America / Results for All and NESTA will host Evidence Works 2016: A Global Forum for Government. Gathering policymakers from across the world, these sessions will share practical lessons from 40 different countries across six continents about the tools, incentives, and partnerships they are using to foster a culture of evidence-use. We are particularly interested to see if there is appetite among this community of like-minded, evidence-oriented government officials to collaborate and learn from each other in a more structured way going forward. Our friends at Results for All will track this closely. On Twitter: @nesta_uk and @Results4America.
International Open Data Conference (Madrid, October 6-7)
Madrid will host the International Open Data Conference (IODC) with open data experts in everything from agriculture and extractives to humanitarian assistance and transportation. At IODC we'll be most interested in seeing how different data communities come together, including open data enthusiasts, data revolutionaries, and official statisticians. Our friends at Open Data Watch will be watching these dynamics closely. On Twitter: #IODC16 and @opendatacon.
Semana de la Evidencia 2016 (Peru, October 17-21)
Finally, Peru will welcome EIP enthusiasts from across Latin America at Semana de la Evidencia 2016 (Evidence Week 2016), hosted by the Peruvian Alliance for Evidence Use. The week promises to celebrate efforts to bring evidence into the policy process, and help build capacity to do so. We'll be watching to see how the strong network of Latin American public policy think tanks uses this opportunity to better understand the questions public officials are grappling with, and how their research can address them. The team at On Think Tanks will surely offer useful insights from this exciting week. On Twitter: @Evidencia_Peru.
While we'll only be able to make some of these events in person, we're excited to see a rapidly growing community of people pushing for, producing, and using evidence in policy decisions. We are eager to hear what you see and learn in the evidence extravaganza ahead.
May 4, 2015 — By Rachel Quint
As Sarah Lucas wrote in her recent blog post, "April 2015: Five Headlines from a Big Month for the Data Revolution," one of the key "headlines" from April was an event hosted by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) during which the African Data Consensus was adopted. This post highlights the event, and is cross-posted from www.Post2015.org.
The Data Revolution for sustainable development has been a big topic of conversation here at the Hewlett Foundation for months now. And for at least that long, friends and colleagues have been asking me "What exactly is the Data Revolution?" and more importantly, "Who's leading it?" I tried to offer a definition last May, but the truth is that the Data Revolution continues to be a broad, loosely organized group of people working on improve the quality, quantity, and use of data for development. But a more specific vision for the data revolution, grounded in political and technical realities, hasn't really emerged yet.
That might be set to change. At the end of March, a group of African stakeholders got together to define and discuss the Data Revolution, and the outcome was an incredibly clear, concise, and politically viable summary of the purpose and needs of an (African) Data Revolution, titled the Africa Data Consensus. The Consensus was developed as part of an event called "Data Revolution in Africa: Setting the scene for a sustainable development agenda powered by Data Revolution in Africa."
Here are my four main takeaways from the discussion:
1. The Africa Data Consensus is revolutionary in its framing of the Data Revolution for better decision-making and better development outcomes. The purpose of the Data Revolution has been a challenge to articulate, and the Revolution itself a big tent, encompassing a wide range of data issues (the post2015.org data revolution blog series shows the great diversity of opinions about its purpose). The Africa Data Consensus succeeded in defining the data revolution in terms of its main purpose: "a shift in the way that data is harnessed to impact on development decision-making, with a particular emphasis on building a culture of usage." This framing (like the UN's Independent Expert Advisory Group on a Data revolution for Sustainable Development report) emphasizes that a successful data revolution will help development actors use data to make better decisions about development.
2. Demand-driven data is a major priority. In several of the data community discussions, participants emphasized the importance of an interactive data ecosystem. They noted that a wide variety of actors (beyond just government) should be involved at every stage of the process: driving decisions about what data to collect, gathering that data, and using the results. While many emphasized the importance of open data, this principle notes that the type of data that is available should be driven by those who will use it.
3. The role of National Statistical Offices (NSOs) is a complicated and political issue, and there are significant opportunities for development if they can modernize. For most of the so-called "data revolutionaries," especially in civil society, making sure the flow and use of data is open and dynamic is a major priority. However, representatives from NSOs continue to emphasize that NSOs should remain the center of national data system. The Consensus document reflects a careful balance: a call for new data sources and processes while still honoring the centrality and autonomy of NSOs.
Any effort to implement the data revolution at the country level will need to address the role of the NSO while still working to expand the definition of a broader statistical system. One recommendation made at the UNECA event was for countries to review the national legal frameworks to more broadly define the role of NSOs.
4. The Data Revolution should (and can) be led from the Global South. Developing countries stand to gain the most from the data revolution because data gaps are most significant in those countries. The participatory process led by the UNECA and the resulting Consensus Document illustrate that African institutions are already in the lead. Three major indicators of this are:
The development of the Africa Data Consensus represents greater conceptual clarity on the data revolution, as well as a chance for those who would be most affected by a data revolution to lead it. In other words, it's a big deal. Now we need to find out whether other regions will follow Africa's lead.
November 14, 2014 — By Sarah Lucas and Rachel Quint
This is the second of two posts cross-posted from the Post-2015 Data Test site. -ed.
The preliminary findings of the Post-2015 Data Test, as described in Part 1 of this post, add up to an important action agenda – one with both technical and political ramifications. On the technical side, it is clear that many countries have a long way to go to meet the data needs to measure against the Post-2015 agenda. The missing or weak data inspire an action agenda around a need for increased data coverage, quality, consistency, disaggregation, timeliness, and so on.
On the political side, the lessons across the seven country studies revealed a lot of tricky questions. How can we have common sustainable development goals (SDGs) that are both a rallying cry at the global level, yet meaningful at the country level? If you set and measure against country specific targets to make them more meaningful at home, where is the global accountability? Is there value in having a "global minimum standard" for some goals, if these minimums are long surpassed by the richest countries and out of reach for the poorest? Should we include goals in new and important areas, even if we don't know how we'll measure them? Why aren't ministries of foreign affairs, who are leading negotiations, talking with national statistical offices who manage data? How do you build "demand" for solid data among policy makers and advocates? Who will pay to fill all the data gaps at the country and global level? This is a pretty complicated agenda, being hashed out in abstract through the UN process, and brought vividly to life by the data test country studies.
It's tempting, as one (rather prominent) speaker at the Data Test event suggested, to keep these technical and political agendas separate. Keep the technical side to the statisticians. Limit their job to telling us which goals are measureable, and gathering data when we need it. Leave the political questions to the negotiators, the high-level representatives of the 193 UN member states. Put differently, and very dramatically, by one participant, "our data cannot be more revolutionary than our societal goals."
However, the dichotomy of technical versus political misses an important point — these two parts of the agenda are deeply connected. The reason we have the data we have, and don't have the data we don't have, is all about politics. The politics of who decides what gets measured, who funds data collection in developing countries (hint: most often donors), what populations remain unmeasured and therefore officially invisible (hint: poor, minority, or remote communities). None of this is by accident. As Debapriya Bhattacharya of the Centre for Policy Dialogue in Bangladesh put it at the New York event, it is an "embedded social political relationship." Rather than waiting for our societal goals to get more inclusive before we push our data to be, let's use the gaps in data to inform how our societal goals need to shift!
To keep this dichotomy at bay, we need to proactively build bridges between the technical and the political sides. Who can do this well? We would argue that policy research centers – think tanks – in the global south are particularly well positioned to do this.
Think Tanks, like those involved in the Data Test and in the Southern Voice on Post-MDG International Development Goals network, naturally inhabit the in-between space between the technical and the political, bridging these worlds with research and policy engagement.
In fact, there are at least 5 bridges that southern think tanks can build to make the Post-2015 agenda more compelling at the global level and more meaningful at the country level.
Bridge #1 — Between using data to measure goals and achieve the goals. So far there has been much more focus on the data needed to measure the progress against the SDGs. But what about the data policy makers need to make decisions, target populations, set priorities and allocate budgets toward achieving the goals? Think tanks in many countries play a leading role in translating data into information policy makers can actually use to inform decisions.
Bridge #2 — Between what is currently measurable and what must be measured. In the broiling debates about how many goals we should have, it would be too easy to narrow the list of development goals by just taking off the ones that can't currently be measured. But this would leave us without any of the new and controversial topics like governance, human rights and environment. Rather, negotiators should have the courage to keep in goals that truly matter for development, and commit to finding new ways to measure them. Well-timed research from the domain of think tanks could play an important role in filling this gap.
Bridge #3 — Among government entities in a given country. Almost all the Data Test scholars lamented the poor communication among ministries of foreign affairs, line ministries, and national statistical offices. This creates challenges for setting goals that are meaningful and measurable at the country level, and will wreak havoc on any efforts to actually implement the goals. Think tanks have the power to help here too, simply by convening. Having spent over six years in the U.S. government, one of us can vouch for how different agency officials scramble to get on the same page if they have to appear together on a panel. This may seem like a blunt instrument, but it works!
Bridge #4 — Between the national and global. The bridge between a mobilizing global Post-2015 agenda and targets that are tailored enough to be meaningful at the country level will be hard to build, particularly in the abstract. It will be critical to have people and organizations – beyond official government negotiators – shuttling between the national and global priorities. Southern Voice provides a great platform for country-level think tanks to bring country-level priorities to the global stage, and to bring global-level accountability to national discussions about the Post-2015 agenda.
Bridge #5 — Between civil society and governments. Who will hold national government accountable for negotiating positions that reflect citizens' priorities, and for implementation against the globally-agreed goals? Civil society organizations will play a critical role here. Who will provide the data, research, and analysis, to make civil society's advocacy stronger, and government decision-making more evidence-based? You guessed it – policy research centers.
So, for all the statisticians and political negotiators alike, keep Southern Voice and other think tanks on your radar screen. They can be a critical actor in getting to a set of goals that are both ambitious and achievable, both aspirational and (eventually) measurable, and both agenda-setting and implementable!
November 14, 2014 — By Rachel Quint and Sarah Lucas
This is the first of two posts cross-posted from the Post-2015 Data Test site. -ed.
On October 14 in New York City, across the street from the hallowed halls of the United Nations, a group of scholars from Bangladesh, Canada, Peru, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Tanzania, and Turkey, came together to talk about data. Under the auspices of the Post-2015 Data Test, these scholars have spent the last year trying to answer one question — "How well prepared are these countries to measure progress on the Post-2015 development goals and targets?"
The Post-2015 Data Test - an initiative through which seven country teams are assessing the quality and availability of country-level data to measure progress on proposed post-2015 goals – held events in New York and Washington, D.C. to share the initial results from their work and to discuss implications for the Data Revolution and post-2015. Hosted by the UN Foundation in New York and the Center for Global Development in Washington D.C., the events brought together a wide range of stakeholders, including country team members, representatives from UN missions and agencies, civil society organizations, the private sector and the UN Secretary General's Expert Advisory Group on the Data Revolution.
Here are four interesting (but not all-encompassing) takeaways from the New York event:
1. Countries have a long way to go to meet the technical data needs. While on average the data availability and quality are best (but still not great in most countries) in closely-watched areas like poverty, education, growth and employment, they are much worse in areas that weren't in the Millennium Development Goals but are under negotiation for the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – governance, human rights, environment. They are worse yet when trying to understand the experiences of specific segments of the population in a given country – like women, ethnic minorities, geographical locations – rather than national experience as a whole. This inspires an action agenda around increased data coverage, quality, consistency, disaggregation, timeliness, and so on. This is part of what people talk about when they say we need a "data revolution."
2. A combination of global and local targets and indicators would be (very) complicated, but could work. The Post-2015 Data Test included a set of global targets for seven goal areas – poverty, education, employment and inclusive growth, energy and infrastructure, environment, governance, and global partnership – that all teams examined in their studies. Teams were also asked to select country-specific targets and indicators that resonated with country priorities. Once country teams selected their subset of metrics, they then investigated the availability of data for both the 'global' and 'national' level targets and indicators. Teams expressed enthusiasm for this global-local framing (and Special Advisor of the Secretary-General for Post-2015 Development Planning, Amina Mohammed cited this enthusiasm as "good news"), but the experience also revealed a lot of tricky questions about how we can have common goals that are both a rallying cry at the global level, yet meaningful at the country level.
3. A post-2015 architecture will need to take into account political incentives. In order for the post-2015 architecture to work, countries need resources to help achieve the goals they commit to, technical support to meet data requirements to measure progress, and a creative political design that creates incentives for accountability. Countries have to make bold post-2015 commitments at home and on the global stage, some of which they don't currently have the resources or capacity to meet. Debapriya Bhattacharya, one of the leads on the Data Test, described the three reasons why countries might take this risk. The first is the hope of predicable, additional funds to help them solve country-level challenges. The second is the potential for partnership to solve problems that no one country can solve alone, such as climate change. And the third is the chance to push for agreement by other countries to address issues over which developing countries have little control, such as limiting international financial shocks. Will these existing incentives be sufficient to keep countries "on-the-hook" for post-2015 commitments? Or will new incentives need to be built in to the post-2015 architecture?
4. Intra-governmental dynamics will significantly impact goal-setting and implementation. Observers of the Post-2015 process focus a lot on dynamics between country governments. But what about what happens withinthem? When discussing both the negotiation and implementation stages of the Post-2015 agenda, national representatives spoke about lack of coordination within governments to be a major challenge. For example, ministries of foreign affairs, who are leading negotiations, rarely talk with line ministries who have substantive leadership in many areas covered by the goals, or with national statistical offices who manage data necessary to measure them. Lack of communication between ministries and mismatched priorities between federal and local governments was cited as one of the barriers to designing a post-2015 architecture, and to implement the SDGs.
So, how can the global community address these issues in the next year as the Post-2015 agenda takes shape? In Part 2 of this blog, we outline the role that Southern think tanks can play in this.
June 5, 2014 — By Rachel Quint
Do countries have the data they need to measure progress against the proposed post-2015 development goals and targets? As Kristen Stelljes described in her recent blog post, a Post-2015 Data Test is underway to answer that very question in real time. Through this project, local think tanks and research institutions in countries across the world are investigating what data is available to measure proposed post-2015 targets. Check out the latest updates from Turkey, Bangladesh, Tanzania, and Senegal, and a blog update from Sierra Leone on strengthening data and statistics at the national level.

Meredy Talbot-Zorn of Save the Children, a Global Development and Population Program grantee, recently wrote about the learning crisis, and how the post-2015 development agenda can galvanize a commitment to ensuring access to education.
Writing at the Global Partnership For Education's blog, she argues that the post-2015 framework needs to finish the work started with the Millenium Development and Educations for All Goals fifteen years ago:
It must be bold, inspiring and ambitious, galvanizing the international community to take focused and coordinated action to get all children in school and learning, across all contexts, including in conflict and emergencies. The aim must be to ensure that every single child has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential in life.

In her first Friday Note for the blog last fall, Ruth Levine wrote about the emerging data revolution. She described a "cacophony of voices, each with valid but distinct perspectives on the aims and methods of generating better data for development policy." Since then, these voices have only grown louder, and a healthy (yet often disorganized) debate continues. Like the political revolutions of recent years, much of the conversation about the data revolution has taken place on social media. Across the blogosphere, brave development specialists have provided suggestions, ideas, and warnings about the direction this revolution is headed.
The enthusiasm surrounding the data revolution is a testament to the need for a new approach to data. A successful revolution would mean more and better data about what is happening in developing countries and greater availability of that data. This could allow citizens to hold governments accountable for delivering on development promises.
What are these revolutionaries trying to achieve? The online conversations point to three main data challenges:
(1) Addressing data gaps—collecting more data (increasing the quantity of data) targeted for specific purposes, including the use of non-traditional data collection methods
Some, who view the data revolution as an element of the post-2015 development agenda, are recommending a large-scale survey to monitor countries' progress against the to-be-identified post-2015 framework goals, targets, and indicators. A large-scale data collection process would create comparable, nationally representative data for the indicators with enough detail in data collection to permit disaggregation by gender, and even geography, income, or disability. There are also calls to utilize technology to collect more data at a lower cost, including collection of big data (using methods that utilize secondary data, such as cell phone records or internet use, or crowdsourcing methods, such as SMS surveys).
(2) Improving data quality—recognizing chronic shortcomings in developing countries' data systems; improving data quality and the processes for collecting it
Improving data quality would come mainly through capacity support to national statistics offices, which are the institutions that collect the largest quantity of human development indicators. This could take the form of increased funding for national statistic offices and domestic civil societies who are already collecting data, but require capacity support, or greater support for the collection of civil registration and vital statistics (such as birth and death records).
(3) Optimizing and expanding use of data—ensuring that data is effectively used by those within and outside the official statistics infrastructure
Building on the momentum created by the Open Data Charter, which declares that government data is a public good, many are focused on access to data. They are also highlighting the role that data should play in government accountability, including providing financial and revenue data to citizens to curb corruption and increase the responsiveness to citizens' needs.
Who will lead the Revolution? The final piece of the puzzle is the design of a Global Partnership across institutions, countries, and civil society to support a successful Data Revolution. Molly Elgin-Cossart, a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress and one of the HLP report authors, has provided some excellent commentary on the potential structure and purpose of the Partnership. Elgin-Cossart suggests that the Partnership could take one of several structures, including: a single agency with a broad representative board; a network of partners supported by a small but nimble support team; a hub of thematic partnerships that focus on generating data for their specific subject-matter (e.g., education, food security); or a loose network united by common principles and objectives.
Adopting any of these formats for building a data revolution will be a considerable challenge. Clarity around the need for change, and even agreement about ultimate aims are no guarantee of success. But no one ever said that revolutionary change was easy.

It's a process – be it writing songs, poems or lyrics.
Being inspired by friends, with friends or creating for friends it remains… a process. And it is almost always a good thing.
Writing is my joy… it is who I am.
My head flies again into thought
as words dart in and out
and my friends are flying with me
Sounds of things are sounding big
as an idea is set to turning
and my friends are listening with me
A whisper in colors now heard again
as the thought is deepened in my head
and my friends are still beside me
Words are placed on paper with pen
as a captured moment is saved
and my friends are reading from me
My eyes now closed in quiet calm
as the thought now clearly stated
and my friends are resting with me

September 09, 2016 / Kristie Wong
September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness month, so it's a great opportunity to teach kids the importance of being active and healthy. According to Healthfinder, 1 in 3 children are overweight or obese in the United States. Childhood obesity can lead to a number of serious health problems such as diabetes, asthma and heart failure.
Other factors leading to child...
Other factors leading to child obesity are:
So here are 6 great ways to keep kids active:
Play "Unorganized" Sports
Organized sports can teach kids valuable lessons such as team work and sportsmanship, but unorganized sports can be fun too! Jumping rope or throwing around a Frisbee are great ways to keep kids moving.
Play With Your Kids
Go on a family bike ride or create an obstacle course using the local park's playground equipment. Kids love playing with adults – and you'll get some exercise out of it too!
Play Games
There are an unlimited amount of games you can play in the pool or on the trampoline. Play Marco Polo or throw around a beach ball in the pool. If you have a trampoline, put 5 colored balls on the trampoline and have your kids jump around to avoid touching the balls.
Go On Weekend Adventures
Take them outdoors and go camping, hiking or to the beach. If the weather isn't cooperating, take them to an indoor trampoline park, play place or a children's museum.
For the Teenagers in Your Life
KidsHealth recommends that teens get at least one hour of physical activity each day, but physical activity tends to lag during these years. However, teens can easily fit it into their everyday routines by doing chores or walking to school. Or, encourage them to find a part-time job where they can be active and earn a little extra cash - like babysitting, dog walking, car washing, doing yard work, lifeguarding at the local pool and more.
Eat at Home
According to WebMD, cooking and eating dinner with your kids can help get them interested in trying healthier foods. Eating at home also gives you total control over what foods go into your child's body and the portion sizes. Lastly, it brings the whole family together. Take this time to make jokes, tell stories and catch up with your kids!
Since children are the future of our world, now is the time to prepare them for a healthy life!

Many of us have heard the old adage "laughter is the best medicine," but do doctors actually prescribe laughter to patients? In reality most doctors don't, but there is evidence that shows that maybe we should.
As in many families, laughter was an important and memorable part of my childhood. Whether it was sitting together watching reruns of I Love Lucy or the antics of John Belushi on SNL, few memories are more imprinted in my mind than when as a family we enjoyed an evening laughing ourselves to tears. There is something about laughter that cuts through our generational and cultural differences and brings people together. But beyond the power of humor to bring people together, there is evidence that laughter can have healing effects on our minds and bodies.
For example, Norman Cousins' book, Anatomy of an Illness, brought forth huge interest and debate into the power of laughter not only as a means to provide comfort, but actually heal diseases. Cousins was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, an incurable and fatal spinal column illness of unknown cause. The disease was a serious disabling illness of the joints for which traditional treatment at the time provided little relief. In frustration, Cousins developed his own treatment program where humor was a critical component. In Cousins' own experience he found that 10 minutes of laughter brought about two hours of pain free sleep, a result for which there is support in medical research. While it is important to work with your primary care to craft a treatment program that maximizes your chances of healing, there is no doubt that laughter can at the least bring momentary stress or pain relief.
Medical studies have now explored the power of laughter in coping with difficult illness, helping to reduce depression, and improving patient's ability to participate in their healing. Additionally, studies have looked at how laughter can actually help reduce pain and decrease the need for strong pain medicines after surgery.
As a family physician I found many times that humor not only allowed me to connect with patients and their families, but also worked to bring difficult situations into perspective. For patients facing serious but not life threating illness I always found pleasure in seeing the initial shock and then large grin to the question "doctor, am I going to die?" To which I would quickly retort, "YES OF COURSE! that is unless your last name is Dracula." Somehow realizing that we share a common humanity and mortality gave my patient comfort and an understanding that we must live each day at a time and focus on doing our best to improve our health and wellbeing. I could almost see the stress fading away as we shifted the focus from the inevitable to finding a solution for their health problem.
I challenge you to find a reason to laugh today and every day, whether it's having a good laugh with friends and family or watching your favorite comedy on Netflix; live each day jubilantly. Doctor's orders.

Each year, July is celebrated as National Arthritis Awareness Month due to the fact that over 46 million Americans are affected by arthritis—61 percent of them being women. The swelling and stiffness that arthritis victims notice in their joints occurs once the cartilage – that cushions their bones, and allows them to move smoothly – begins to wear away. Once the cartilage can no longer support the movement of their bones, they begin to feel the pain.
Although there are over 100 different types of Arthritis, the two most common are: osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). While OA occurs from normal wear and tear, RA is caused by your immune system attacking the tissues of the body. The likelihood of getting arthritis grows with age, but it is not exclusive to the elderly.
The most common symptoms a person with onset arthritis will feel are: joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. If you are suffering from arthritis, you will also begin to notice that your motion range will decrease. Having your symptoms being the worst in the mornings is common.
Here are some prevention tips to help you reduce your risk of early onset arthritis:
Maintain and control your body weight
The more pressure you put on your joints, the quicker the cartilage will begin to wear away. Losing weight is the main prevention and treatment for the pain arthritis gives you.
Stay hydrated
Cartilage is made mostly of water, so when we are dehydrated, the body goes into shock and takes all the water from the cartilage.
Avoid Injury
For those who play sports, arthritis symptoms show earlier because of the constant injuries. When you continuously injure your joints, such as the knee, the cartilage will wear away quicker than it normally would have.
Ladies, trade in your heels
Your bodies are not made to be on your feet for long hours of the day. When you wear heels, they put an excessive amount of pressure on your joints.
Protect your joints
Always aim to use the best posture when doings tasks that use different muscles in the body (e.g. lifting boxes, working out, continuous up-and-down movement). When you become mindful of protecting your joints, you will notice less pressure on your bones.
If you feel as though you have arthritis or experiencing symptoms, contact your physician.

With summer upon us, we all are feeling the urge to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. However as it gets progressively hotter outside, heat safety becomes increasingly important to prevent dehydration and other related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke. WebMd defines dehydration as "… a condition that occurs when the loss of body fluids, mostly water, exceeds the amount that is taken in." Too often people lose track of how much water they've had during a hot day and can end up suffering the symptoms of dehydration. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, some of the symptoms of dehydration include:
If gone untreated, dehydration can eventually lead to more serious problems such as heat exhaustion or even heat stroke. Fortunately, there are some simple things you can do to help prevent dehydration and stay safe this summer:
Take water breaks
Make it a point to stop what you're doing every so often and take a 5-minute water break to cool your body down and rehydrate.
Schedule your outdoor activity
If possible, try scheduling your physical activities around cooler parts of the day to help limit the amount of mid-day heat that you're exposed to.
All beverages are not created equal
We can't stress enough that drinking liquid doesn't always mean you're staying hydrated. Some beverages like coffee, cola and alcohol are considered diuretics — which increase your urine production and actually contribute to your dehydration!
Don't forget the electrolytes
Electrolytes are essential to our body's functions and during extreme dehydration they can be depleted. Recharge your body's electrolytes with appropriate sports drinks, coconut water or even potassium-rich fruits like bananas.
Keep it light & keep it loose
Dark colors absorb the sunlight, so try and wear lighter colored clothing that fits loosely to prevent over-heating.

Today there are more kinds of pain relievers available to help patients than ever before. But the painkillers used to treat the most severe kinds of pain, called opioids, can have serious and even deadly side effects. In recent years, there has been an epidemic increase in the number of deaths resulting from overdoses of prescription painkillers. In 2014 there were 14,000 deaths from prescription opioid overdoses, and today more than 40 Americans die from a prescription opioid overdose every day. When Hollywood celebrities die from drug overdoses, opioid medications are often part of the root cause.
The effects of opioids are powerful and can easily become addictive, even when the original physical pain has subsided. Two side effects of opioid medicines are particularly dangerous. First, the medicine has a strong sedating effect and, if taken in excess, can cause loss of attention, drowsiness, or even loss of consciousness. Second, and even more dangerous, opioid medicines reduce the brain's signals to the lungs to keep breathing. The "breathing center" in the brain gets even more sleepy than the rest of the brain, with potentially tragic results.
What makes this problem even trickier is that these medications are prescribed by doctors. Like alcohol, prescription opioids are 100% legal. Opioids can be quite effective in relieving pain in the short term, for example after surgery. But also like alcohol, the risks tend to rise when larger doses are used to obtain relief; when use is prolonged or chronic; and when used along with other substances that can magnify the effects.
For these reasons, it's important to let every doctor and dentist know if you are taking painkillers, and if so, how much and how often. Doctors and dentists are not always aware of all of the medicines prescribed by other providers. When medicines are prescribed to be taken "as needed," it can be difficult for doctors to guess just how big a dose that an individual uses each day.
It's also a very good idea to use a single pharmacy to fill all of your prescriptions. Pharmacies have electronic databases that can detect duplicate prescriptions as well as potential drug interactions, and those problems are mostly likely to be detected if all the prescriptions are housed at a single facility.
Sometimes, patients or their family members notice that more and more opioids are being used, with little relief. Other times, patients or their family members recognize that there is a problem of overuse or abuse of these medications. It's very important to speak up if you or someone you care about is having a problem with painkillers. Tragically, the risks of "self-medicating" with opioids are high and appear to be rising. The good news is, there are proven ways to help reduce the risks, the cravings, and the consequences of opioid overuse.
If you or someone you care about needs help, you can call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Hotline at 1-800-662-4357.

Men's Health Month takes place every June to raise awareness on important men's health issues and to remind them to care for themselves.
In the United...
In the United States, men live an average of five to six years less than their female counterparts. The Men's Health Network reports that men are more likely than women to die from 9 out of the top 10 causes of death including heart disease, cancer, stroke, accidents, diabetes, pneumonia or the flu, suicide, kidney disease and chronic liver disease (Web MD).
According to the Men's Health Initiative of British Columbia, approximately 30% of a man's health is determined by his genetics. The majority, the remaining 70% of his wellbeing, is determined by his lifestyle choices.
So, guys – in honor of Men's Health Month 2016, here are some tips for taking better care of your health:
Stop Making Excuses
One of the biggest reasons men suffer from more conditions than women is because they aren't visiting the doctor as much as they should be – or in some cases, not at all. Men are half as likely to attend routine checkups.
Some common reasons men put off their appointments are because they "would rather tough it out," they "have no time," or they "know nothing is wrong."
Put your pride, laziness or whatever's stopping you from going to the doctor to the side. Routine checkups can help you detect issues early or before they become even bigger problems.
Pay Attention to Your Body
Be observant of any possible signs or symptoms, such as pain, urination problems or breathing abnormalities. Make sure to also check on your blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol levels. Are they too low or too high? Speak up to your doctor!
Quit Smoking
Throw out your cigarettes because giving up smoking drastically reduces your risk of lung disease, cancer, heart disease and other illnesses
Maintain a Healthy Diet
Good nutrition is all about balance. Be mindful of the fatty, salty and sugary foods you consume and watch your alcohol intake. Make sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, which are jam-packed with vitamins that can help protect your body from chronic illnesses.
Get Moving
The CDC recommends at least 2 ½ hours of physical activity each week. Whatever your exercise of choice may be — walking, running, playing a sport, yoga — feel free to spread it out in a way you can manage. And come on guys — 2 ½ hours a week isn't that much.
Sleep Well
Resting is just as important as exercising. Lack of sleep — a recommended 7-9 hours each night — can cause motor vehicle or machinery accidents due to drowsiness. Sleeping problems and insufficiency is also linked to chronic conditions including diabetes, depression and cardiovascular disease.

Dear Friends,
The holiday season is fast approaching. While we are extremely busy here in Guatemala, we want to take a moment to say "Thank you" to you, our donors. With your support, we have been able to make life worth living for so many people: patients, family, and friends.
Childhood malnutrition is a devastating disease. Not only does it cause a loss of stature, or stunting, but it continues to affect children in every step of life. Children grow up with lower cognitive abilities, more risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, and overall, a lowered potential to work and succeed.
The good news is, we can fight these lifelong effects. Our program works to catch malnutrition early and help children catch up to the curve. This doesn't just impact the child, but all their loved ones as well.
I'd like to introduce you to Nilton. Nilton is a one-year-old enrolled in our malnutrition program. He lives in rural Guatemala with his parents, who struggle every day to make ends meet. They don't have the resources to provide Nilton with the nutritious foods he needs to grow healthy and strong. With our program, however, his family receives food and micronutrient supplements that will let Nilton reach his full potential. And when Nilton came down with severe pneumonia, our doctors immediately took care of him and stopped this potentially life-threatening disease in its tracks. This doesn't just impact this baby, but all his family, who can live each day a little happier, a little more secure, knowing that Wuqu' Kawoq is with them every step of the way.
Nilton's mother cannot be more grateful for the support they are receiving, to provide the family with resources they could not have on their own. We are equally thankful. Without you, children like Nilton and their families would not have the opportunity for a better and brighter future.
Thank you!
Let's continue to fight to end malnutrition and make #lifeworthliving here in Guatemala!
With gratitude,
Anne Kraemer DiazExecutive Director
Thank you for your continued dedication to make #lifeworthliving for each child here in Guatemala. We firmly believe that every child matters, and that all should have access to the highest quality of care, no matter where they were born. That is why your donations are so important.
To show our gratitude, we would like to introduce you to our newest program to fight malnutrition:
"Guatemala has one of the highest rates of chronic malnutrition in the world. In the Maya communities in which we work chronic malnutrition rates for children under five can be as high as 75 percent. Chronic malnutrition, or stunting, results not only in a reduction in height, but also developmental delays. Our program seeks to better understand these developmental effects of stunting on children ages six to twenty-four months.
While nutritional interventions are just beginning, our dedicated team of anthropologists, community health workers, doctors, nurses, psychologists, and translators has been hard at work for months preparing to work with our new patients. This work is particularly important, as we will be the first in Guatemala to measure developmental outcomes in severely stunted Maya children. Over the course of the next year the team will evaluate the impact of nutritional education on the height and development of the participants."
With your help, we will continue to work to #endmalnutrition and improve life for not only our current patients, but all those who will come in the future. Thank you again for your continued support!
Anne Kraemer Diaz
Executive Director
Every child matters.
In the past year alone, we have been able to grow our program and we have offered preventative nutrition services to over 500 children in 6 rural communities in Guatemala, as well as intensive in-home nutrition classes to more than 50 mothers. We have also pioneered the notion of recuperative chronic malnutrition in a new program with more than 100 children enrolled.
Without these services, malnourished children will be slower to walk, to talk, and to read. They will have difficulty focusing in school, resulting in a much lower life-long income earning potential. These children will never reach the full potential that so many of us take for granted in our own children.
Your continued support means that we can unlock that potential and provide healthy and happy futures for children and mothers. It means that we can improve their academic performance, economic opportunity, resiliency, and social relationships, so that they can lead the lives that they want. By providing education and supplementation to children between the ages of 0-2, we are making early investments in their futures.
Guatemala suffers from the highest rate of chronic malnutrition in the hemisphere, where babies do not have adequate nutrition to grow and thrive. Together, we can change that.

In fact, progressives ran this campaign in Oregon against a well-funded lobby of major state corporations like Nike and the corporate tea party front group FreedomWorks. And they energized progressives, organized and won, and pretty easily so. This twists the narrative that all Democrats are morose and demobilized – actually, when you give them a positive choice, when you offer a progressive policy like tax fairness, they will not only choose it, but get excited about it. And conservatives will lose in a game of numbers."
"The two ballot measures passed handily in a referendum watched closely around the country as a signal of whether voters are ready to approve targeted tax hikes to bail out cash-starved state treasuries."
Wall Street Journal (
The twin ballot measures also served as a gauge of anti-business populism and highlighted a nationwide debate over whether to fix state budgets by targeting the affluent. But they also fueled resentment of "tax and spend" legislators, as well as public-employee unions whose members enjoy job security at a time when thousands here have lost jobs.

Tonight a state with one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation made it harder to do business in it. We have more work to do.

WWE Mobile on AT&T: Animal Cruelty
In the wake of being outlasted by Batista during their Gauntlet Match on Raw, Chris Jericho had some fiery words for his Cyber Sunday opponent. The tirade by the World Heavyweight Champion was born of weeks of frustration thanks to The Animal.
Last week, Batista looked to be having fun at Jericho's expense when he placed himself in the role of special guest referee during Jericho's match with CM Punk. As it appeared the World Heavyweight Champion was on the verge of notching the victory, Batista drew out an extra-long three-count and dropped a brutal Batista Bomb on his Cyber Sunday rival to allow Punk to regain momentum and pull out a win.
The embarrassment continued in Corpus Christi, Texas, when Batista outlasted Jericho in a Gauntlet Match, in which each man had to compete against three opponents, including William Regal, Mark Henry and Kane. Both men defeated Regal and Henry, but only The Animal managed to pin Kane.

Dunedin councillor warns against stadium
Relevant offers
A Dunedin City councillor has warned against a proposed 35,000-seat Christchurch stadium, saying it should go ahead only if the city ''wants to spend a lot of money and get nothing in return''.
However, Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker said a 35,000-seat stadium was an ''essential piece of infrastructure'', even though the temporary 21,000-seat AMI Stadium in Addington was not full for the Crusaders' sudden-death match against the Bulls last Saturday night.
About 5000 seats were empty.
Cr Lee Vandervis hoped Christchurch would ''learn'' from Dunedin's financially failing Forsyth Barr Stadium.
The Dunedin City Council voted in 2008 to build the covered stadium at a cost of $188 million, but $224.4m has been spent, including $18m in interest on associated loans.
The stadium is projected to make multimillion-dollar losses.
''We're currently losing a couple of million bucks every six months just trying to keep the doors open,'' Vandervis said.
''That's all under review. If you want to spend a lot of money and get nothing in return, a stadium would be the best way to go.''
Parker said the stadium could be viable.
''Our goal is to be able to operate at a break-even point,'' he said.
''I don't think there are many stadiums, convention centres or major swimming pools that ever completely pay their way, but they're still regarded as core infrastructure.
''What's happened here is a chance to move our city forward and upward.
''We're not just building a city for today. We've got to look forward.
''The city will grow. I think we need to build facilities that reflect where we're going to be in 20 or 30 years.''
The council's major facilities rebuild plan, which forms part of the draft annual plan, proposes building an uncovered 35,000-seat stadium to replace the earthquake-hit AMI Stadium in Phillipstown.
Canterbury Rugby Football Union chief executive Hamish Riach is calling for the stadium to be covered.
Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull said Christchurch's decision should come down to two things - affordability and priorities.
''Christchurch has a number of things that need to be rebuilt. It's a matter of what's most important,'' he said.
''I'm not going to make a judgment on what Christchurch should have. That's a decision for the community to have.''
Dunedin councillor Kate Wilson said ''it's nice to have it if you can afford it''.
''I think New Zealand is a small country of 4 million people on the world stage,'' she said. ''My issue is at what point do we all have to have the same thing?''

Canon EOS 400D review at PhotographyBLOG
Mark Peters : January 3th 2007 - 21:01 CET
Canon EOS 400D review at PhotographyBLOG :
DIWA member Mark Goldstein from PhotographyBLOG has reviewed the Canon EOS 400D digital SLR camera. The Canon 400D features a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, new EOS Integrated Cleaning System, larger and brighter 2.5" LCD and 9-point AF. As well as the EOS Integrated Cleaning System, the EOS 400D incorporates a number of developments over the EOS 350D. Resolution increases from 8.0 to 10.1 Megapixels, using the superior hi-sensitivity, hi-speed, low-noise CMOS technology now found in all six EOS Digital models. At nearly twice the size of the EOS 350D display, the 2.5" hi-resolution LCD is the brightest in the EOS range and now displays all of key shooting and user interface Information.
Canon EOS 400D Review
According to Mark Goldstein: "This Canon EF-S lens offers users an aperture range from f/3.5-f/22 at its widest 28mm setting, but it is reduced by half a stop at its longest focal length, offering a spectrum from f/5.6 to f/22. The wide-angle focal length of this lens produced obvious barrel distortion, it is not very resistant to flare and should only be used to get new owners started. Serious enthusiasts will want to invest in better glass and then they won't be disappointed with their final images."
Canon EOS 400D camera - CMOS and Anti dust
Mark continues: "The Canon 400D certainly has the bottle to take on its competitors with its 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor but it does not set the standards and stand out from the crowd anymore. It is not the cheapest or the most expensive model on the market and it is not even the smallest DSLR available, as the Olympus E400 takes that crown. Canon have done exactly what they had to do with their latest entry-level DSLR by adding new features like their EOS Integrated Cleaning System and the larger 2.5-inch LCD screen."

About PhotographyBLOG
Mark Goldstein started his very active website PhotographyBLOG in January 2003. At first the one and only purpose was to let this site function as one of those popular web logs with Photography as main topic. But as we all know Photography is a pretty big subject to publish about so Mark decided to focus on some hot key points like mentioning all new introductions, reviews, reports from events like PMA and Photokina, sharing some impressive and creative photos and Mark's sole perspective of his feeling about this fascinating world of Digital Imaging. Mark is based in the UK, but his eagle-eye focuses global.
