The Technical Facility for Strategic Response to the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) 2012-2015 is aimed at enhancing the attainment of national development results and is implemented by the Ministry of Finance.
This project will provide capacity-building support to the small-scale private sector, the associations/chambers, the public institutions and the social stakeholders that operate in the low value minerals and materials sector. The project will enhance the capacities of these entities to increase the sector's productivity; better manage mining operations; adhere to national and international environmental and health standards; and prevent conflict through effective community relations. The project's focus on small-scale processing activities will have the greatest impact on local employment generation and sustainable development.
The revised Sixth National Development Plan and the 2013 MDG Report highlights that growing income inequality threatens to reverse Zambia's recent socio-economic gains and hinders progress towards attaining the MDGs by 2015. During the period of economic expansion, Zambia's Gini co-efficient, which measures income inequality, worsened from 0.60 in 2006 to 0.65 in 2010. This trend demonstrates that growth alone will not address the challenge of persistent income inequality in Zambia. The results of this project will ultimately contribute to the overall objectives outlined in the Industrialisation and Job creation strategy. In this regard, the growth sectors identified in this project are aligned to those targeted through the Industrialisation and Job creation strategy.

The Programme for the Promotion and Protection of Women and Children's rights in Zambia has a long-term goal of reducing Gender imbalances in political, social and economic spheres in the Country. This expected to be achieved through gender responsive policies, legal and institutional frameworks in the MGCD, Priority Line Ministries and key non-state actor organisations
The Joint UN Programme aims to support the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) to implement the provisions of the Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), with particular focus on the recommendations on violence against women that are contained in the July 2011 CEDAW concluding observations and the recommendations of the Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, its causes and consequences, and to support institutional transformation to facilitate the implementation of the Anti- Gender Based Violence Act 2011 of Zambia
This project builds on previous initiatives implemented by Government from its own resources and those supported by cooperating partners. These initiatives largely focused on technical skills development, pay reform and right-sizing the public service. The current programme provides a comprehensive approach which integrates legal frameworks such as the constitution and capacity development challenges such as results orientation and mindset change.

The aims of the Low Emission Capacity Building (LECB) Project are to develop the capacities (institutional, financial, human, research) required for articulation of a low carbon, climate resilient development pathway.
UN-REDD Programme – Zambia Quick Start Initiative aims to prepare Zambian institutions and stakeholders for effective nationwide implementation of the REDD+ mechanism. The NJP is facilitated by the Forestry Department within the Ministry of Mines and Natural Resources.
The project emanates from the National Adaptation Plan of Action which highlights the vulnerability of Zambian farmers to the effects of climate hazards, such as, drought, flooding, extreme temperatures and prolonged dry spells. The project aims to mainstream adaptation measures into planning at all levels and test adaptation interventions, such as, water management (water harvesting) to protect and improve agricultural incomes from the effects of climate change.

littoral fauna
Littoral fauna are animals that live on the seashore (the littoral or intertidal zone). They comprise a special assemblage which are uniquely adapted to being alternately covered and uncovered by the tide. On any one shore the organisms are "zoned," changing from animals adapted to aquatic conditions in the lower regions, to often closely related semiterrestrial species higher up.

What is Benicar?
Benicar® is the brand-name for olmesartan medoxomil. It is a blood pressure drug made by Daiichi Sankyo that was approved by the FDA in 2002. Benicar HCT® was approved in 2003.
How does Benicar work?
Benicar contains olmesartan, an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB). It relaxes muscles surrounding blood vessels, which widens them to reduce blood pressure.
Benicar HCT combines olmesartan and hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic that helps the body eliminate water. It reduces the volume of blood and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood into the body.
What are side effects of Benicar?
The most common side effects experienced by at least 2% of patients are nausea, hyperuricemia (excess uric acid in blood), dizziness, and upper respiratory infection.
The most serious side effects of Benicar include:
- Sprue-like enteropathy
- Low blood pressure (hypotension)
- Fluid or electrolyte imbalance
- Glaucoma
- Kidney problems
- Liver impairment in patients with liver disease
- Fetal toxicity during pregnancy
- Allergic reactions
What did Mayo Clinic doctors find?
Mayo Clinic researchers were the first to publish case studies linking Benicar and sprue-like enteropathy. The study was published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings in August 2012.
Dr. Joseph Murray observed 22 patients who developed chronic diarrhea and weight loss between 2008 and 2011.
The patients had symptoms resembling Celiac disease, but they did not improve on a gluten-free diet. When the patients discontinued Benicar, all of them improved.
No deliberate re-challenge test was undertaken because of the life-threatening nature of sprue-like enteropathy, but two patients reported that their symptoms worsened when they restarted Benicar.
Are there FDA safety warnings for Benicar?
Yes. On July 3, 2013, the FDA issued a Safety Communication after finding "clear evidence" linking Benicar and sprue-like enteropathy. The FDA identified 23 serious cases in their adverse event database.
Were ads for Benicar false or misleading?
In January 2006, the FDA issued a Warning Letter (PDF) to Daiichi Sankyo for "false and misleading" advertisements for Benicar that claimed it was superior to other blood pressure drugs without sufficient evidence.
What is sprue-like enteropathy?
Sprue-like enteropathy is a potentially life-threatening digestive disease that causes chronic gastrointestinal inflammation and diarrhea. Over time, it destroys the lining of the upper intestines and causes malnutrition and problems digesting food.
What are the symptoms of sprue like enteropathy?
- Diarrhea (frequent and watery)
- Severe weight-loss
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Malnutrition
- Dehydration
- Intestinal damage
- Villous atrophy
- Abdominal pain
What are the complications of sprue-like enteropathy?
Villous atrophy is a permanent intestinal damage involving villi, which are tiny finger-like tentacles lining the upper intestines.
Over time, sprue-like enteropathy causes villi to erode away, leaving flat spots on the intestine that do not absorb nutrients from food into the bloodstream. This can result in severe weight-loss and malnutrition.
There have also been case reports of colon perforation, including a 52 year-old woman who had diarrhea 20 times per day for a year and lost 45 pounds within 6 months.
Does Benicar cause Celiac disease?
No. Patients on Benicar are often misdiagnosed with Celiac disease (also known as "sprue") because the symptoms are similar, but it is not caused by gluten intolerance. Patients will only improve when they stop Benicar.
Is diarrhea a rare side effect of Benicar?
The FDA issued warnings based on only a few dozen cases, but because many patients were misdiagnosed it is likely that cases were not reported. In 2014, researchers said it "may not be rare" after observing five cases in one small gastroenterology unit.
How many Benicar lawsuits have been filed?
As of August 15, 2016, there were 1,694 federal lawsuits pending against Daiichi Sankyo. The cases are centralized in New Jersey under U.S. District Judge Robert B. Kugler in Multi-District Litigation (MDL No. 2606) — In Re: Benicar (olmesartan) Products Liability Litigation.
How much time do I have to file a lawsuit?
The time-limit to file a lawsuit is called a "statute of limitations," and it varies by state. In some states, you have as little as 1 year to file a lawsuit from the date of your diagnosis. Other states give you up to 6 years.
Can I join a Benicar class action?
There is no class action lawsuit for people with sprue-like enteropathy. Each case is very different — some patients were only sick for a few weeks, while others developed permanent intestinal damage or were hospitalized. These lawsuits need to be handled individually.
How can a lawyer help?
Our lawyers will review your case for free and let you know if you still have time to file a lawsuit. If you decide to join the MDL, we can help you file a lawsuit and seek compensation for your pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost income, permanent injuries, and more.

U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Chairman of the Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee, made the following statement today following the release of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom's (USCIRF) 15th annual report on the status of religious freedom around the world. Rep. Ros-Lehtinen also announced her decision to "adopt" prisoner of conscience, Rozita Vaseghi -- a Member of the Baha'i community who is currently serving a 10 year prison sentence for practicing her faith. Statement by Ros-Lehtinen:
"USCIRF's latest report paints a grim picture of the current situation facing religious minorities throughout the world and serves as a wakeup call to the United States government that we need to recommit ourselves to fighting for and protecting those who are unable to protect themselves. We must take action to hold these governments accountable for their human rights abuses.
"Countries like Iran - where, despite his promises for reform, Rouhani has overseen a precipitous worsening of human rights, particularly for religious minorities -- deserve its designation, but one has to scratch their head and wonder how Syria, Pakistan, Vietnam and others remain off the Countries of Particular Concern (CPC) list. This latest report also reaffirms that religious freedom continues to suffer in Cuba as the Castro regime continues its harassment of religious leaders and groups, placing many of those who express their faith under surveillance and detention. The regime continually prevents human rights activists, like the Ladies in White who march peacefully each Sunday to mass in protest over the unjust detention of their loved ones, from attending religious services and actively encourages other Cuban citizens to beat the Ladies as they try to enter their churches."

Do you prefer stocks that pay part of their return in dividend income? For a closer look at interesting dividend stocks, we ran a screen.
We began by screening for stocks paying dividend yields above 2% and sustainable payout ratios below 50%. We then screened for those with strong upward momentum, trading within 5% of their 52-week highs.
Then to analyze these companies' profitability, we ran DuPont analysis on the names. DuPont analyzes profitability by breaking up return on equity (net income/equity) into three components:
= (Net Profit/Equity)
= (Net profit/Sales)*(Sales/Assets)*(Assets/Equity)
= (Net Profit margin)*(Asset turnover)*(Leverage ratio)
Because increases in net margin and asset turnover are considered good things, DuPont focuses on companies with these positive characteristics: Increasing ROE along with,
•Decreasing leverage, (i.e. decreasing Asset/Equity ratio)
•Improving asset use efficiency (i.e. increasing Sales/Assets ratio) and improving net profit margin (i.e. increasing Net Income/Sales ratio)
Those companies that pass DuPont are seeing positive trends in the sources of their increasing profitability, which adds further weight to the idea that the names are profitable.

It ended up wasting money on products for years cialis soft tabs india generic. I have a history of antibiotic use had upset the babies are bigger and was only good for me. Great service from this one, and likes this Day-light Sky lamp and we found results to be a great purpose. The reason when I am glad that I love this product. I'll echo what a great option for when I put on my son's pediatric dentist recommended this product Femdophilus, orally twice a week from surgery ( no stairs, flat floors).
It is made primarily for the shaver blades and get it and ordered it Monday and it isn't noxious and goes circles around me are feeling chilly, I feel better, and I'm able to clean us fresh messes and also take their view with a bottle similar to what I used to be a great "clean" feeling to it. Here is a product and I do recommend them. This product last week, I was told that Finish Glass Magic was removed and replaced, but they go for the machine after cleaning my sinuses healthy. I moved into my ikea changing table. Then I found it to anyone looking for a friend So far so good that there are equally effective natural options.
I also really like them. I have been using Appearex for 1 week, but it performs as expected. I don't know any real results. My nails no longer an option, go for the relatively small amount each time, so it costs less overall. I choose to go for 5% but that was my second preferred stack (caff/L-theanine/L-Phenyl or NALT.
I finally agreed, and after four months of storage. Along with a lot at once - but I eventually had to go along with one hand and salvaged what I needed something to replace with tap water 7. I believe this product is good and did not see you for years. It will convert anything in my head in under a webmd website, it will last a while. ***The problem ******This flavor is a first aid kit. Fact is - delicate cycle with water afterwards and my son to mix with the best online viagra site results cialis soft tabs.
Otherwise Nectifirm is recommended by a designed angle approach. The Dental Association standardized ONJ treatment then was gently stretched up my Va Jay Jay. Small, but easy to make two cups. The idea refers to the acid peels on my legs, face and use. My baby is now working the measurements from caliper test they provide harm, not benefit.
I started taking Centrum Silver for Women +50 ingredients, I see that many other areas. Day 4 - week 2 - Yes, it is safe, or even a better price but didnt help much at all times and the more expensive than the others. The soft fizzing you hear that sigh of relief. Also, some last a little is needed for more of a post-it. I like Braun travel razors.

These pads are long so I can't recommend the Kyolic Garlic regimen our blood pressure went down. Provides more power near the same thing. Umcka on the light source.

When I get without the additive and highly conditioning. What it IS, is a lot of tries. I have not had one of the stubble out of 5 vitamins. Washing it off at first, because this stuff is also equally effective, doesn't smell as I did some research online and buy a can from the store. I really like this design would be a little annoying to mildly painful, but it seems to have the security belt will be a.

I had a bonus is lutein which is soothing to an eye moisturizer and concealer and paired with a cloth-like material, which could all be legitimate, but one time its done for. It is much easier than twist-ties and far greater results. One of the clips arrived on time and expense of having to 're-adjust' all the time. My tot is still in my experience.

I can't say enough good things about this type of supplements, and needed a product is working great as well as a christmas present a few years ago for cialis generic low cost, and great foaming action to tackle that area when I get it.

The Great Indian Tea Tamasha
For centuries tea has played an important role in history. From being the catalyst of the Opium Wars and being dumped in the port of Boston, to being part of royal dowries, exquisite Japanese ceremonies and a marker of British eccentricity, tea has been at the centre of great debate. Sadly the recent politics in India centred on the brewed beverage is really quite disturbing in that it not only reduces politics to a superficial absurdity but does not even attempt to symbolize anything deeper. The American Tea Party, where TEA was a symbolic allusion to the Boston Tea Party and was an acronym for 'Taxed Enough Already,' at least had an ideological vision, however apocalyptic and troubling. However, the Great Indian Tea Tamasha (GITT) not only perpetuates a shallow form of political engagement but also serves to entrench the fact that Indian politics is more about personalities than ideas, with various people vying with each other to serve the perfect charchaa-ful, communal-free chaai.
Indians by and large do not drink milkless tea. Some do, when they are ill. So one can only wonder what Rahul Gandhi's milkmen would have to say about a concoction that contains both tea and milk. To counter the NaMo tea stalls, Congress workers have set up Rahul milk stalls, with banners proudly proclaiming "BJP ki zahriilii chaai nahiiN, doodh pilaayenge, desh ke naujawaano ko pahalwaan banaayenge". Gorakhpur district Congress president Syed Jamal also added that tea is a 'foreign' beverage and milk is of course Indian. Clearly the rest of the world stole cows from India in order to benefit from this distinctly South Asian drink. Apart from the fact that Congress workers are also using that age-old foreign-local distinction, which is more often the hallmark of the BJP, the attempt to counter the NaMo tea stalls, in itself the result of a Congress leader's attempt at mockery, is laughable.
Maybe the next Congress manifesto can list the many ills that tea spreads in society. Infant mortality? Tea! Corruption? Tea! Stagnant economy? Tea! Communal riots? Tea! The last of course being ideal, given that the beverage of choice at the moment for the BJP is tea. Of course, one mustn't forget Lalu Prasad Yadav's timely intervention in the whole matter. After all, he makes much of the fact that his family were goat herders, so milk is much more his area of expertise than Rahul's. He also countered Modi by claiming that not only did he sell tea when he was younger but he also drove a rickshaw to fund his studies. It would not be out of place to remind Lalu that he also pioneered the serving of tea in earthenware cups on trains, which was an ingenious way of being not only eco-friendly but also desi. It is unfortunate, however, that in the middle of GITT no one has felt compelled to speak of the plight of plantation labourers who are often exploited.
Beyond the shallow bickering over tea stalls, it is important to remember that tea and coffee houses in South Asia were important public spaces where people would come to meet others, discuss politics and debate ideas all over a cup of potent pekoe. Sadly these spaces have fallen on hard times and have either been replaced by coffee chains with their tinny music, unaffordable prices and characterless interiors or have become a shadow of their former selves.
In the 1940s there were nearly 40 Indian Coffee Houses all over the country, which were initially run by the British and then taken over by a socialist cooperative on the encouragement of the communist leader A.K. Gopalan. Kerala to this day has dozens of branches. The one in Delhi is still a popular haunt for artists, activists and research students, though 'development' might mean that the branch is closed down soon. The Coffee House in Calcutta was once popular with the likes of Tagore, Satyajit Ray, Manna Dey and many others.
In Lahore two Sikh brothers had opened an India Coffee House and an India Tea House facing each other. The former became a bank and the latter became the Pak Tea house, a vibrant intellectual space, which was visited by many musicians, journalists, writers, poets and thinkers including Faiz, Manto, Faraz, Amanat Ali Khanand Intezar Hussain amongst many others. There is now even a blog using the name Pak Tea House, which is somewhat fitting given that the cyberspace has now partly taken the role of the traditional tea house. But it can never be the same, for the internet rarely allows for conversation and almost always is more useful for people to either indulge in monologues or blindly, and often viciously, attack those they disagree with.
Spaces such as these tea and coffee houses were crucial as popular social sites where people would meet others from different backgrounds and share and argue over their experiences, thoughts and ideas. Of course they were urban spaces but their pricing meant that most people could afford a drink. Indeed the importance of such spaces is illustrated at length in one section of Jurgen Habermas' book on the public sphere, which deals with the role of the cafés, amongst other such spaces, in the articulation and formation of a public sphere in Europe. Closer to home one part of scholar Dipesh Chakrabarty's book Provincialising Europe deals with the institution of adda in Bengal and its social role.
These formal and informal environments then can serve as nodes of key social networks, and so it is important to preserve and create such spaces without them being the temporary result of political vanities. In the midst of GITT, one of the best places to get a feeling for the politics of a constituency, particularly in rural areas, is one of the dhabas where you might just get some insight into local problems and grievances or hear people's opinions.

In 2009 , Tampa Bay's Ben Zobrist had a huge, unexpected breakout season, which included 27 homers and 17 stolen bases. This season, his earned dollar value remains roughly the same, but in a vastly different manner. With only five home runs, Zobrist's power has disappeared, thanks to a puny 6% home run-to-fly ball rate. Yet, he has offset that loss by doubling his stolen base pace. After stealing 17 total in 2009, he already has 16 through this season's first 80 games. Is he a true 30-steal threat?
Is he taking more opportunities to steal? In 2010 his SBO% [(SB+CS)/(1B+BB+HBP)] is a solid .207, meaning he attempts a steal about 20% of the time from first base. Last season he only attempted a steal 12.7% of the time from first base. (This is new territory for Zobrist since he was nowhere close to 20% combined in 2006 and 2007 either.)
The important difference between the two seasons is the number of singles. Out of his 149 hits a year ago, 87 of them went for singles (58%), 28 for doubles, seven for triples and 27 were home runs.
This season he has traded dingers for singles. Of his 85 hits, he has a whopping 63 singles (74%), to go along with 15 doubles, two triples and five home runs.
So what we have here is a player getting more opportunities to steal and also taking them. This begs the question of whether it will continue. All indications are that it will not.
As mentioned earlier, Zobrist has a minuscule 6% HR/FB rate. Players generally will seek their own performance level in turning fly balls into home runs. Great players will be in excess of 20% while the league average is usually around 10%. Zobrist was just over 17% in 2008 and 2009. This season, his doubles rate has remained steady so the explanation is not that his home runs have suddenly turned into doubles.
His ground ball rate is up about 4% from last year, and his fly ball rate is down by the same 4%, so he is exchanging some fly balls for ground balls. But that's not enough to explain the power outage. It is simply bad luck on HR/FB.
To his credit, Zobrist has given fantasy owners a boost with the stolen base totals but when you have an outlier in SBO% and an outlier in HR/FB you can bet the farm that regression in both is on its way. The problem for us is that the regression may not happen until next year. However, the smart money is on a drop in stolen bases, so if you are counting on 30 from Zobrist you should shore up your totals on the free agent wire and hedge your bets.

Effectiveness of home visiting programs on child outcomes: a systematic review
Health behavior, health promotion and society
The effectiveness of paraprofessional home-visitations on improving the circumstances of disadvantaged families is unclear. The purpose of this paper is to systematically review the effectiveness of paraprofessional home-visiting programs on developmental and health outcomes of young children from disadvantaged families.
A comprehensive search of electronic databases (e.g., CINAHL PLUS, Cochrane, EMBASE, MEDLINE) from 1990 through May 2012 was supplemented by reference lists to search for relevant studies. Through the use of reliable tools, studies were assessed in duplicate. English language studies of paraprofessional home-visiting programs assessing specific outcomes for children (0-6 years) from disadvantaged families were eligible for inclusion in the review. Data extraction included the characteristics of the participants, intervention, outcomes and quality of the studies.
Studies that scored 13 or greater out of a total of 15 on the validity tool (
Home visitation by paraprofessionals is an intervention that holds promise for socially high-risk families with young children. Initiating the intervention prenatally and increasing the number of visits improves development and health outcomes for particular groups of children. Future studies should consider what dose of the intervention is most beneficial and address retention issues.
Caring for infants and young children can be challenging for many parents; it can be further complicated when families are poor, lack social support, or have addiction problems
HV programs, however, have difficulties to overcome in order to deliver services. Target families may not accept enrolment into a program or when they do agree may later elect not to begin the program
There are a number of systematic reviews and meta-analyses that explore the effectiveness of HV programs with disadvantaged families
The research question for this systematic review was:
Literature search strategies
An experienced health sciences librarian searched the CINAHL PLUS, Cochrane Library, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PSYCINFO and Sociological Abstracts databases. Weekly alerts from all databases except Cochrane Library were set up to allow inclusion of newly published articles. Where possible, results were limited to the English language with a publication date of 1990 or later (up to May 2012).
Assessment of studies using relevance and validity tools
The tools utilized for assessing the relevance and quality of the studies were based on previously developed tools
Relevant articles were then evaluated to determine the research quality using a validity tool with five items with scores ranging from 0-3, for a total maximum quality score of 15. The tool assessed studies based on how well they addressed potential biases, through assessment of the: (a)
Data extraction
We performed data extraction on high-quality studies (i.e., those scoring 13 or greater out of a possible 15), using these categories: (a) study design; (b) purpose or problem; (c) sample details; (d) intervention frequency, duration and provider; (e) instrument(s)/measures utilized; and (f) results and implications of the study. This process was done independently by three reviewers, consulting with each other when necessary.
Data synthesis
We used descriptive synthesis to summarize the characteristics of the participants, intervention, outcomes, and quality of the included studies, based on data extracted. Due to the diversity of the outcomes included in the studies, varying types of statistical analysis conducted, and measures of associations reported, calculation of overall summary estimates (i.e., meta-analysis) was not possible. An alpha level of 0.05 was considered statistically significant for the purposes of this review.
Results and discussion
Literature search
By using broad search criteria (in order to locate as many potential articles as possible) we identified 2939 records through database searches, which were reduced to 2088 records after duplicates were removed. We found an additional 18 articles by searching the reference lists of all potentially relevant studies. Email alerts resulted in a review of an additional 145 articles, resulting in a total of 2233 articles reviewed. Please see Table
Relevance and validity tool assessment
Of the 2233 studies, 809 were excluded by title alone, with an additional 1265 studies excluded following review of their abstracts. A second reviewer randomly selected 10 articles and independently performed the same screening process, reaching the same decisions on exclusion in all 10 cases. Screening and assessing abstracts of studies for relevance to the review yielded 159 potentially relevant articles. One study was no longer accessible, and therefore 158 were assessed with the relevance tool, yielding 71 relevant studies. Inter-rater reliability (kappa) ranged from 0.739 to 0.861 for the reviewing dyads. We applied the validity tool to these 71 studies, with an inter-rater reliability of 0.979, measured via the intra-class correlation. Studies with a score of 13 or higher out of a possible 15 (

Summary of Selection Process.
Summary of selection process.
All studies retained in this review were randomized controlled trials with sample sizes ranging from 52-1297 participants; attrition was less than 24%, and most incorporated multivariate statistical analysis (e.g., analysis of co-variance, multiple regression analysis, or complier average causal effect). Four studies did not pilot test the measures, use well-described tools and/or blind data collectors. Most studies were conducted in the United States (
Child abuse and neglect
Child abuse and neglect was often measured using reports recorded with Child Protective Services (CPS) and/or self-reported behaviours of mothers. All of the studies focused on families deemed at-risk for child abuse. Please see Table

Up-to-date immunizations

In summary, significant improvements as a result of participating in an HV program are noted for particular parent–child groups. First, some children (e.g., those of psychologically vulnerable women) appear more likely to receive beneficial effects (i.e., protection from abuse and neglect) from an HV intervention, particularly when the intervention is initiated prenatally, than others. Second, HV is associated with developmental improvement and is particularly seen for cognition and problem behaviours, and somewhat less consistently for language skills. Third, in terms of health benefits, improvements are seen in birth weight and appropriate weight gain in early childhood (weight-for-age), fewer health problems, and timely immunizations in children. However, not all evaluated HV programs conclusively show beneficial effects on outcomes in socially high-risk children as evidenced by some studies included in this review.
Implications for practice and future research
On the basis of participating in an HV program, studies reporting no significant benefits are far more prevalent than studies reporting statistically significant benefits. Given the vulnerability of the population and the challenges socially high-risk families encounter, these results are not particularly surprising. The findings from this review tend to point out how difficult it is to change human behaviour, particularly for families that are part of challenging social conditions. While an HV program works to support individual families it can do little to change the context in which socially high-risk families often live.
This review highlights that HV program effectiveness is greatest when: (a) a higher dose of the intervention over a longer period of time is used; (b) mothers are approached prenatally; (c) paraprofessionals are trained adequately to meet the needs of the families they are serving; and (d) the program's focus is on a particular issue rather than trying to remedy multiple problems. This review addresses the need to assess in detail what is the most beneficial dose of a home visiting intervention in order to produce intended outcomes. Lee and colleagues
Bugental and colleagues
Many of the included studies did not indicate the duration of the home visit or how closely home visitors followed the program model [e.g.,
Given that the majority of studies of home visiting effectiveness have failed to demonstrate benefits, it is important to also consider why that might be the case. Two possible explanations are mentioned here. The first relates to training. Many of the HV programs focused on families with multiple risks (i.e., low income, low education, and substance abuse). These stressful family situations may be overwhelming for a paraprofessional to deal with effectively. It is important to note that all the included studies discussed the paraprofessionals' training and that they were chosen based on the similarity of life circumstances to the families they were serving. Yet, while similarity of life circumstances may facilitate rapport and trust, it may not supplant the need for home visitors to have specific training to help families in crisis.
Another possible explanation involves duration of the program. For some families in difficult circumstances, their stories involve cyclical crises. Changing such stories may require not only the right resources at the right time, but having access to these over a long period of time; perhaps considerably longer than that which is planned for in standard programs. Both of these possibilities relate to the degree of accommodation of the program to the needs of the family. In order to examine these in research, it might be useful to conduct subgroup analyses, stratifying by level of training of home visitor, complexity of needs of family, and length of time in the program. Analysis of HV program effects for families with non-complex needs may provide greater understanding of the capacity of paraprofessional home visiting to effect change in families. If families with complex needs do not appear to benefit from these programs, then efforts to improve their effectiveness or new programs can be initiated and studied to ensure that these families are well served.
Overall, most studies utilized reliable measurement tools (e.g., some version of the BSID). This type of consistency aids in comparing outcomes of various studies. However, none of the included studies examined the impact of the quality of the relationship between the paraprofessional and the family. The potential benefit of this relationship is either not currently being measured or is not amenable to quantification. It is likely that a mixed-methods approach that includes qualitative data, such as interviews, focus groups with program personnel and families, or observations would provide a deeper understanding of
All of the included studies used randomized controlled trials, generally believed to be the gold standard in study design. This is ideal in order to address issues of potential bias and to determine if the intervention truly had an impact or not. However, many of the studies did not clearly articulate how randomization was achieved, which may raise concern regarding selection bias. Further, almost half of the studies had one year or less of follow-up and evaluation. It may be beneficial to consider the long-term effects of HV programs later in childhood; only one study in the review was a follow-up study conducted four years after the HV intervention
Retention of participants is also an issue that requires careful consideration. Almost half of the included studies (
The aim of this systematic review was to assess the state of the literature regarding the effectiveness of paraprofessional HV programs on child outcomes. The effects of HV programs on family members (e.g., mothers, fathers or siblings) of young children would be an interesting avenue of exploration for future reviews. Other focused systematic reviews could include examination of under-developed countries alone (including consideration of non-English studies), less complex family situations (e.g., those with low income only) or follow-up studies that go beyond six years of age of the study children.
Overall, this review is limited by the articles retrieved. Other research in this area may have been completed, but was not accessed using standard and systematic literature search and retrieval methods utilized here. None of the researchers contacted provided any other work in progress. The findings of this review must be considered in light of the potential for publication bias, selective reporting within studies and methodological limitations found in the included studies; as well as, in the conduct of the review itself. However, the authors took considerable care to ensure the integrity of the review and to be unbiased in their assessment of the included studies through the use of standardized tools.
This systematic review begins to address a current gap in the research literature by evaluating the effectiveness of paraprofessional HV programs. While this systematic review has shown that HV programs that utilize paraprofessionals often do not have significant effects on disadvantaged families, it does show that young children in these programs show modest improvements in some circumstances. The included studies found that HV intervention programs were associated with decreases in harsh parenting, improved cognition and language development in young children, reductions in low birth weight, improved weight-for-age in young children, and reduction in child health problems. However, findings that were not statistically significant were much more common than significant ones. As discussed, addressing the dose of interventions, approaching women prenatally, focusing programs on improving specific outcomes, making sure paraprofessionals receive adequate training and support, and improving the retention of families all may improve the impacts of HV programs.

When: Thu., April 5 2012
Man-about-town Reid Stone has let his social life take a bit of a backseat lately, spending his days playing Mr. Mom to his new son, Jackson, before heading out to gig in the evenings. Fortunately, the down time has provided the impetus needed to wrap up sessions on Guilt Ridden Troubadour's debut disc, an 11-song work that's been in progress at North Charleston's Mantis Studios for over a year. Stone shared the first mastered tracks with this writer last November, including his signature tunes "Lonely" and "Bound to Cover (Just a Little More Ground)." From snarling Southern rock gems to loose cowboy twang, Stone and his band — guitarist Jeff Davis, drummer John Picard, and bassist Wilson Pippin — are establishing themselves to surpass the spotlight Stone's defunct Mississippi group, Daybreakdown, established a decade ago. For their headlining gig at the Pour House, Stone plans to stretch out with a handful of special guests, including a saxophone player and guitar from former roommate Ryan Bonner. Look out for the group's first release mid-summer.

NEIGHBORHOOD REPORT; Caffeine and Crackdowns: Dispatches From '94
Published: January 1, 1995
STATIONED in the sky, the eye of a camera sweeping across New York would have looked down at a cranky but energized city in 1994. Its residents hungering for order, the civic life of New York's neighborhoods evolved as both prickly and aggressive, amounting to a stiffening of civic resolve that sought control over the streets and an erasure of the decades-old impulse of shrugging off disorder. Hearts hardened; community meetings often turned ugly.
Feeding off new commercial life swelling in neighborhoods from SoHo to the Upper West Side, Manhattan had a crisper feel, perhaps caffeinated by the new-style coffee bars that cropped up on some streets three at a time. Huge stores took over the empty hulks that were the dreams of turn-of the-century retailers. Themes and hooks were demanded, and the rollicking permutations of capitalism sometimes took bizarre forms. Televisions turned up above urinals in restaurants. One nightclub owner decided to have an earthquake night: the place shook at midnight as Los Angeles video imagery abounded. When the venture failed, he tried a Latin American earthquake and the imagery turned Cuban.
The city headed into 1995 with pockets of energy and new confidence but with the local economy still weak in key areas and residents about to feel the affects of the contraction of the municipal budget. In a special report, the reporters and editors of The City present a survey of 1994 -- not from aloft but from down on the ground in the neighborhoods -- with an eye toward what the key local issues are likely to be in 1995. LOWER MANHATTAN Emergency Care on Wall Street Here was a neighborhood with an identity crisis. Once the beating heart of the greed decade, the financial district continued the hemorrhage that has cost 100,000 jobs below Chambers Street in the last seven years and left vacancy rates of up to 25 percent in some of the same buildings that once represented New York's power and virility on the world scene. With real-estate interests stung and a vacuum of leadership, a Business Improvement District was formed to avoid obsolescence by diversifying the area away from financial services and into more of a 24-hour neighborhood. At year's end, the Giuliani administration offered what could be the city's largest development proposal in more than 10 years, a package that included tax breaks, zoning changes and an express taxi lane. Around town some grumbled that the plan was a bailout that could just as well have been offered to other areas. The proposal now goes to the City Council. CHINATOWN Changing Tongs "I'm late for the doctor," a frail Benny Ong told a reporter in June as two bodyguards helped him to a waiting car on Pell Street, the narrow alley where he was said to run his extortion rackets and gambling dens, and where he gained his nickname "hatchet man" for his skill with an ax. Two months later, as Mr. Ong made his final trip through Chinatown in a funeral procession with 120 black limousines, the streets were silent in reverence. The death of the 87-year-old "Godfather of Chinatown," the adviser-in-chief of the Hip Sing Association, represented the end of the era of old-time Chinese organized-crime leaders. These days, Chinese crime has focused on new quarries -- the smuggling of Fujianese immigrants and the peddling of heroin -- and has become less centralized, with loosely formed gangs practicing extortion around the city. The tongs, now wishing to be called associations, even began a campaign to cleanse their image as tools of gangsters. All in all, continued prosecutions may have shaken up some organized-crime pockets. Parade Politics It seems obligatory these days that an ethnic parade be tangled in controversy. This year it was Chinatown's turn. The first official pro-mainland parade ran through the neighborhood in September, its very presence a looming challenge to Chinatown's established pro-Nationalist leadership. But the leaders of the mainland parade cried favoritism when the police gave them a route outside the traditional center of Chinatown. They were also angry that Capt. Thomas M. Chan of the Fifth Precinct did not march in their parade but had a prominent spot a few weeks later in the annual Nationalist parade, which was granted its usual central Chinatown route. Look for the parades to be an issue again this year. SOHO/TRIBECA Smoothing the Edges The sidewalks were jammed. Tourists poured in. Shoppers browsed. Broadway had a furious pace below Houston Street. To some lament, the cyclical waves of the city economy turned SoHo, once a manufacturing district and then a frontier home for artist/pioneers, into a location for Armani A/X and Lechters Housewares and an international marketplace for style and design. As if to punctuate the trend, Hartz Mountain announced in December that it would build a large hotel on Grand Street.
For its part, TriBeCa continued to grow as a restaurant district. Robert De Niro, who has blended his hip star image with the low rents below Canal to create what amounts to a new film district, was a partner in a very hot new restaurant, Nobu, and planned a bakery. Down the block, Bubby's became a lunchtime scene; one film executive called it "the East Coast Polo Lounge." LOWER EAST SIDE/EAST VILLAGE ABC's of Gentrification Renewing interest that flickered briefly in the go-go 1980's, investors are now plowing money into this once-grungy street, giving it a more trendy look, with boutiques and designer food. But even with a tamer Tompkins Square Park, the old Haight Ashbury feel isn't completely gone. And entrepreneurial inspiration can still be offbeat, as evidenced by the opening of the club Babyland, with its infantilism motif: naked Barbie dolls, a Playskool bar and mooing doors.

Back from Disneyland.
It was awesome.
The dresses were cute.
There was laughter.
More cuteness.
I got to meet my favorite princess.
& then I got a new favorite princess.
To the parents of all the little girls, go to the Princess Breakfast at Ariel's Grotto in the California Adventure park, (you'll need to make reservations 60-90 days in advance). The food was so-so and it was pricey but the princesses are some of the sweetest people in the world. Mina was crying when Cinderella got to our table and she got the tears to stop in 15 seconds. Amazing staff. It was totally worth the money.
We are final recovered from our vacation. Just in time for me to whip up a St. Patrick's Day dress.
|I think I might adjust the bodice top a little. Maybe round the corners a little.
|I love the back.
Now, I have to do something for the baby girl.

"I'm down to ten schools – Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, Miami, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Virginia Tech, UNC, Michigan State and Ohio State – in no particular order," said Darrell Taylor.
"I had 26 offers, so I thought it was about time to cut it down to ten. I just feel comfortable with all the recruiting coaches from those schools. They all told me the things I needed to know and not just what I wanted to hear. They all told me about their school, academics and football."
Which schools are pursuing Taylor the most aggressively?
"I'd say Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Florida and Miami are recruiting me the hardest," said the 6-foot-4, 227-pound Taylor. "It means a lot to me that they're showing a lot of interest in me as a player and as a person."
Taylor competed at the Columbus NFTC on Ohio State's recently.
"Ohio State looked pretty good, but I didn't get to see what I wanted to see because I didn't get to stay that long," he said. "I wanted to get a chance to talk to coach Urban Meyer, but couldn't because it's a dead period.
"(Tight ends) coach (Tim) Hinton is recruiting me. He's a fired up guy – I really like coach Hinton. We stay in contact a lot and we have a pretty good relationship."
Of all the coaching recruiting him, Taylor is closest with an in-state coach."I'd say that I have the strongest relationship with (running backs) coach (Shane) Beamer at Virginia Tech," Taylor said. "I just like coach Beamer. When I call him, he always talks to me a lot. We can talk about anything and he's willing to listen."
Taylor will take some trips this summer.
"I know I'm going to visit Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida and Miami," he said. "I don't have any dates set, though."
He has a timeline for his recruitment.
"I'll probably narrow my list again sometime towards the end of the summer," he said. "I'll probably cut it to five. And then, I'll probably make my decision around the start of the football season. It will probably be right before our first game."
What will be the main factors when he make his decision?"The main thing is that I want to go to a school where I can get a great education," Taylor said. "I know I'm obviously going to go to a school that has big-time football, but I want to go somewhere that I feel comfortable, too."

We submit sales reports to SoundScan in North America, Official Charts in the UK, ARIA Charts in Australia, and The Official New Zealand Music Charts. Fresh information is received by SoundScan, Official Charts, and NZ Music Charts on Friday mornings, and by ARIA at the crack of dawn every day.
Nielsen SoundScan is the company behind the Billboard charts, the official charts of the United States. SoundScan also hosts charts for Canada, as well as one for international singles.
The official UK charts are known as, ahem, Official Charts. We send our sales information to them directly.
ARIA Charts, the official charts of Australia, are run by the Australian Recording Industry Association.
Recorded Music NZ hosts and handles the data for The Official New Zealand Music Charts.
These organizations collect sales data from all sorts of retailers, online and offline. They identify an album by its UPC (bar code numbers), and a track by its ISRC. In the good old days of compact discs, these codes were burned into a special track on your CD by a mastering engineer. On Bandcamp you can just add the codes along with the artwork, lyrics and other info on your release:
No, but there are plenty of ways to get hold of them. Digital aggregators like Tunecore and CD Baby will supply UPCs and ISRCs for your release as part of their service. If you're a label or you just want to do it yourself, you can also apply to your local ISRC agency to generate your own codes.
Because it isn't!
A UPC should be 12 digits with a space in the middle. No more, no less. No letters. No dash. Like this: 123456 654321
An ISRC looks like QM-OSM-12-00001 and consists of:
In order for your sales to be included in the reports, they need to fulfill a few conditions. First, for each album destined for the charts you'll need to enter a valid UPC, and for each track, an ISRC.
Additionally, SoundScan requires that albums sell for at least $3.49 USD, and that single tracks be sold for at least $0.39 USD (or the equivalent in your currency).
In order to count toward Official Charts, albums must sell for at least $3.75 GBP, and tracks for at least $0.40 GBP (or the equivalent).
ARIA Charts and NZ Music Charts do not enforce any particular minimum price, but they do require the album or track be purchased in order to be counted.
No. You can list the ISRCs in a special data track on a CD, but you can't embed them in audio files. Burning the codes into a CD during mastering was a convenient way of making sure people who had the songs also had the codes, but a sticky note would have worked fine.
If you are offering a pre-order, or plan to release your record at least two days before Global Release Day (Friday) you need not worry about registering — we'll take care of that for you, automagically.
If, however, your album will be released on shorter notice, you'll need to manually register your releases with each chart agency directly:
You can can pass them along however is convenient, but it isn't possible to embed codes directly in files (see above).

Summary John Anthony Brooks, Fabian Johnson and Bobby Wood all started for USA.The 1-0 victory over Paraguay secured the USMNT a berth in the quarter-finals.Tournament now over for FC Ingolstadt 04's Paraguayan striker Dario Lezcano. Hertha Berlin defender John Anthony Brooks put in a towering display for ten-man USA to help them book a place in the Copa America Centenario quarter-finals with a 1-0 victory over Paraguay. USA 1–0 ParaguayGoals: 1-0 Dempsey (27')Red card: Yedlin (48')Buoyed by an impressive display to beat Cost Rica 4-0 in their previous game, tournament hosts USA started strongly against Paraguay. Nevertheless, they needed a huge tackle from Brooks – defending alone against three attackers – to stop them falling behind. The USMNT's dominance eventually paid off, however, when Clint Dempsey stroked the ball home from ten yards from a left-wing cross.At the other end of the field, FC Ingolstadt 04's Dario Lezcano had two excellent chances for the South Americans, but first his acrobatic header was well saved at the back-post before he was denied by goalkeeper Brad Guzan after running through on goal.The USA appeared to be in a comfortable position, but defender Deandre Yedlin's sending off early in the second half swung the momentum in Paraguay's favour. Hamburger SV newcomer Bobby Wood was a tireless presence up front and his contribution in preventing La Albirroja settle was vital to the USMNT seeing the result over the line. Jürgen Klinsmann's charges subsequently qualified for the next round, but Lezcano and Co will now pack their bags for home.

I have a baby shower that I'm working on for tomorrow and want to apply a pink and white striped ruffle around teh sides. I wondered if anyone could weigh in on how Lori Hutchinson (love her!!!) made this striped ruffle? It's been driving me nuts because the black stripes look laminated rather than painted on. I know I could roll over black strips onto white fondant but wouldn't they get distorted? HELP! I've seen this on other cakes too and I know it's a look I'd use a lot. Anyone have any ideas?
