In the PL-1 year, residents also participate in the stabilization and care of the sick neonate. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at UCSD Jacobs has a busy delivery service and is a Level lll nursery that receives transports of critically ill babies from around San Diego County. The first year resident also spends one month in the Newborn Nursery at UCSD learning to care for normal newborns and common problems appropriate for a general pediatrician.
The outpatient experience is varied during the first year to expose residents to many facets of ambulatory care including general pediatrics, developmental-behavioral pediatrics, community pediatrics, and advocacy.
To gain exposure to acute care in ambulatory pediatrics, pediatric residents will spend a month in the Rady Children's Hospital emergency department. This experience is designed to provide residents with a strong knowledge base in all aspects of ambulatory medicine.
The Community Pediatrics rotation exposes the resident to the important role pediatricians play in the community. This includes interacting with local schools and child care centers (both as a consultant and on behalf of patients), advocating for child health issues and collaborating with professionals from other disciplines that also care for children. Since San Diego is home to a large culturally-diverse population – especially African, Asian, and South American refugee and immigrant populations, residents will have many opportunities to engage in culturally-appropriate community health practices.
The PL-2 year builds on the experiences of the first year with emphasis on patient management and triage of the ill child. The PL-2 resident rotates through the inpatient wards at Rady Children's Hospital and experiences increased independence and decision-making. They take an active role in the program's unique triage curriculum and learn how to quickly assess clinical status, stabilize sick patients, and take charge of the multidisciplinary inpatient team. Additionally, the second year residents rotate for one month in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Rady Children's Hospital to gain experience evaluating and managing critically-ill children. The PL-2 residents also spend an additional month in the NICU at UCSD and learn to take more of an independent role leading delivery room resuscitations and managing premature infants under the guidance of fellows and attendings.
The outpatient experience in the second year mixes general pediatrics and subspecialty training and includes a two-week rotation as the supervising resident in the academic general pediatrics clinic. The resident continues to have emergency room experience evaluating acutely ill children during the PL-2 year.
Our Hematology/Oncology Division serves patients all over Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona. Through our alliance with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, PL-2 residents spend one month in inpatient/outpatient cancer care, which includes leukemia/lymphoma, solid tumor, and hematology services and also have the opportunity to manage bone-marrow transplant patients and recipients of CAR-T cell therapy. There are also three months of elective time for residents to explore various subspecialty disciplines.
During the second year, residents have dedicated time in their schedule to develop their Resident Academic Project, and then have protected half days throughout the remainder of their training to continue to work on their projects.
The PL-3 year provides each resident the opportunity to enhance skills and knowledge in a wide variety of pediatric areas. The PL-3, in close consultation with attending physicians, oversees the care of clinic patients and provides guidance and expertise in general pediatrics. PL-3 residents have the opportunity to spend a month learning adolescent medicine, both in the eating disorder unit at Rady's Children's Hospital and at the Navy Point Loma Adolescent Clinic.
A final month in the emergency room at Rady Children's enhances the senior resident's proficiency in managing acutely ill children. Additional expertise in the care and stabilization of critically ill children is provided through another rotation in the PICU in the third year and by working with the specialized pediatric transport team. The year is rounded out with 3.5 of electives months to augment each resident's education and allow residents to design a unique curriculum to prepare them for their chosen career.
Second and third year residents often use elective time to participate in international rotations in Guadalajara, Mexico, Saipan, Uganda, and others. There is one month of vacation with an additional 3-4 days off over either Christmas or New Years in each year throughout training at UCSD.
Currently we have three chief residents who are selected during their residency to serve as leaders in the program. Our chief residents serve as instructors in the Department of Pediatrics and as representatives for the residents to the chairman of the department. They act as general pediatric consultants to the residents and to other services, and they work as attending pediatricians at the North Park Family Health Centers Pediatrics Clinic.
The chief residents organize teaching conferences at UCSD and Rady Children's Hospital. Protected time is devoted for the chief residents to pursue research, advocacy, and career development. This year is designed to continue to augment general pediatric knowledge through consultation, research, teaching and patient care.

Race winning GP3 Series outfit Status Grand Prix have agreed to acquire the Caterham Racing GP2 Series team.
The deal sees Status increase its presence in motorsport, something they have been looking to do for a while, with the team looking to build on the success the Caterham team have enjoyed in GP2 in recent years, including race wins, the last of which was with Alexander Rossi at the end of 2013.
The deal sees the Caterham Racing personnel move from the Leafield base of the Caterham team to the Status Grand Prix site before the end of the month, although the team will continue to be called Caterham Racing for the remainder of the 2014 GP2 Series season before being renamed for next season, with both Rio Haryanto and Pierre Gasly continuing to drive for the team in Abu Dhabi next month.
Outgoing Caterham Racing Team Owner Tony Fernandes was happy to see his team acquired by Status, and believes it now provides a more effective ladder for drivers who have the aim of reaching Formula 1.
"Firstly, I would like to say that this announcement is very positive for us and Status Grand Prix," insisted Fernandes. "We have built a strong GP2 team with excellent personnel over the last four years, and we can be proud of the multiple race wins and podiums we have achieved in the Series. "It became clear to me some time ago that, without Caterham F1 team, we should seek affiliation with a GP3 team to create a more effective ladder for young drivers who aspire to Formula One. Following in-depth discussions with Status Grand Prix, we have reached an agreement that will strengthen and secure the future of the GP2 team. I would like to thank Bruno Michel and the GP2 Series for four successful years and wish Status Grand Prix the best of luck for the future."
Status Grand Prix Team Principal Teddy Yip Jr was delighted to see his team expand into GP2, feeling the time was right to increase Status Grand Prix's presence in motorsport.
"Having been multiple GP3 race winners, as well as A1GP World Cup champions with A1 Team Ireland, we have always had the ambition to move further up the motorsport ladder when the time is right," said Yip Jr. "The opportunity to take over an established and highly-regarded team such as Caterham Racing, allied to a strong season in GP3, makes that time now.
"The Status GP2 team will be run from our Silverstone base to the same exacting standards as our race-winning GP3 team."
GP2 Series CEO Bruno Michel welcomed the arrival of Status Grand Prix into GP2, and believes the team will adapt to the series much like it has with GP3.
"I am pleased to welcome Status Grand Prix to GP2 Series," said Michel. "They've been in GP3 since the beginning and have been successful over the past five seasons. I have no doubt that with the help and the experience of the current staff, they will be able to achieve the same level of performance in GP2 and will adapt quickly to the demands of the category."

Be that as it may, these details aside, the new age headsets are essentially in the market for the emphatic sound lovers. The musical people just can't avoid music for even a minute. They require music nonstop. Regardless of whether they are running on a trail or perspiring out in the exercise center for a bit, music is their shadow. The equivalent goes for other diurnal actions too, from studying to working and from relaxation to communicating. So on the off chance that you are a bonafide music lover, then you must definitely desire for some awesome musical experience through you preferred headphone or earphone.
The present electronics market is flooding with various types of earphones & headphones. Some are top of the line while others are a stereotype. Some are expensive while others are sensible. In any case, if you are willing to buy something that will satisfy your audiophile requirements then believe that brand matters. Because those offer fortunate musical experiences. You will discover a ton of likewise headsets at the Redragon online portal. The Phillips Handfree In Black is quite the catch. But when talking about the best sound experience you simply cannot miss out on mentioning Ultrasone headphones & earphones. Ultrasone is a classic example of handmade musical delight. You will get many variants of this high-end product in almost every electronic market.
Let us see why Ultrasone Headphones are so unique and are so brand savvy.
Firstly, the Ultrasone headphones are made in the expert sheds of Bavarian. The serenity and the elegance of the Alps cradling Bavaria are best found in the seamless designs of the Ultrasone headphones. The edition of the headphones is unique and patent worthy.
Secondly, the Ultrasone headphones are very artistic. The designs are very luxurious and the quality of the materials is very high end. The leathers, the stones, the woods, and the silicon chips are of the finest order. The techs are also very hi-fi and the accessories are very prudent. From comfort to design and from performance to quality, Ultrasone is the best in the market.
Thirdly, the position of the driver in the canister makes Ultrasone headphone a sound specialist. The decentralization of the driver's position makes the sound vibes channel efficiently into the ear. This elevates the smooth feeling in the ear and good sound effect.

July 31st marks my official 1 year since moving to Hong Kong. So much has happened in a year and I am no longer the Bambi caught in headlights that I was back then – although, sometimes I still do have a "oh my goodness- I live in Asia" moments!
I am big on reflection , so here are my 10 favorite things about Hong Kong!
1.The city skyline, from any angle, at any time of day.
We have an incredible view from our flat, but honestly it doesn't matter where in Hong Kong you are, whether looking up from between the buildings, out from a rooftop bar or across the harbor, this city is beautiful.
2. The food
Okay, okay, I know I have said previously that this scared me at first (here), but the unknown is a scary thing! It amazes me how I now actually CRAVE soup filled pork dumplings, oolong tea, hot pot, mango mochi and even shumi. How have these delicious treats been missing from my diet all my life!?!
3. Public transportation
The bus service, MTR (subway), ferry, tram or even a taxi, everything works. I have even timed trains, if the board says it is 2 minutes away – it really is 2 minutes away. Everything is also so clean, sometimes I feel bad that I am simply holding my coffee on the train! (I will be honest, my LEAST favorite time of day is at 6 pm, if you ever have to leave central station, cross over at Admiralty or walk between Central and Hong Kong Station, you will know what I mean…)
4. Rooftop bars.
Perhaps this has something to do with my love of a view, but there is nothing like sitting on a rooftop on a summers evening, sipping on a glass of vino. There are rooftop bars everywhere too, sometimes you could walk past the same building for weeks on end and then suddenly BAM, realise there has been a rooftop bar there the whole entire time!
5. Octopus card
This little card is magic. It is also a vital part of your life in HK, whether I am buying a coffee at Starbucks, paying our gas bill or library fine, catching the MTR, bus, tram or ferry to my next destination- I just use my octopus card! So easy, so efficient and so necessary. (If you are moving to HK – this is your first purchase without a doubt!)
6. Travel
Having a HK residence card is the best thing about when it comes to travel, immigration line – nope, just put your card in a slot, have a thumb print and through the gates, efficient as ever. Also a flight to another country costs the same as flying from Port Elizabeth to Cape town, both in time and money. Wanderlust is an even bigger struggle when you have so many options to choose from.
7. Parks
It may seem like a strange favorite, but coming from a country rich with natural beauty, coming across a park in the middle of this concrete jungle makes my day! I especially love Hong Kong Park and yes it is because it has marvelous views of the city.
8. Safety.
The amount of times I have walked through a park, on my own, at 10pm from a shopping spree or caught the last train home after a night out, also on my own- and not once thought of being mugged or hurt has now become uncountable. Of course there are areas I wouldn't do this, however for the most part, you are safe. As a South African, this is something that I cannot believe I actually feel, but it brings so much freedom.
9. Family life
Perhaps it is because I have been teaching Playgroup for a year now, but it amazes me how involved the fathers are here. Of course this is a complete generalization, however it is because I see it over and over again. Dads that come to playgroup, hanging out and playing with their kids on public holidays at the beach, going shopping as a family. They value family and really, there is nothing more important.
10. Diversity of people
This is probably my favorite part of living in Hong Kong. Hearing accents and languages from all around the world, inter racial relationships, the line between expat and locals are crossed so often – but what I love, is how welcomed I feel in a country that is not my own. I have written about this before (here), but really, how is it that I feel more accepted and free in a country half way across the world, than in my own? I know that there are still challenges here,and I am not blind to them either, but I love that I get to learn about cultures from all over the world and become a part of a global family.
Sending love and adventures your way

Peoples Choice Awards Tickets
Details of People's Choice Awards and the Ticket Luck value
The People's Choice Awards are unqiue in that they give everyone a chance to have their say in giving away the awards to their favorite actors, movies and television. The People's Choice Awards is an American Awards show, in which the general public gets a chance to vote and recognize the work of best talent. The show is held annually and is aired in America on the television channel CBS.
The voting for the show starts in the end of every year and ends in late December. The results are aired on CBS in the beginning of the next year which is usually the start of January. However anyone wishing to experience the thrill of watching the award giving live and watching their favorite stars up close can definitely get People's Choice Awards tickets.
The show started in 1975 and was created by Bob Stivers. Since then it is followed by many and has always experienced high viewer's ratings. The reason behind the high ratings is only the fact that these awards portray what the public actually likes and wants to follow and not just what is new or different. They like their favorites to be recognized and appreciated. Procter & Gamble is the only sponsor of the show. The company bought the show in 1982 from Bob Stivers. The show has counterparts in India and Australia as well.
The ratings for the show experienced a peak in 1977. This was when The Sting won the award for Favorite film, Barbara Streisand for Favorite actress and John Wayne for the Favorite actor. Thus from the start, the program has built the reputation of portraying the exact choice of the viewers.
The awards are given in several categories. However the categories are not fixed and vary according to the viewer's demand. Some of the awards categories include: All-Around Movie, Favorite Sci-Fi Show, Favorite Movie Actor, Film Actress, World Favorite Movie Actor, Favorite Female TV Star, Favorite Male TV Star, Favorite Leading Lady, Favorite Picture and Favorite Tour. The list is not exhaustive and new categories are added as per the viewer's demand.
The show is based on public polls. Surveys done by Gallup have been engaged in the polls. Due to margin for error, there have been ties in many categories over the years. However, recently the selection of the winners is done through online voting. The first time that the winners were decided through online voting was for the 31st People's Choice Awards held in 2005. Now web based research companies such as Knowledge Networks and Visible Measures have also been engaged.
Visible Measures which was used in 2010 as well used a measure called True Reach to determine the nominees. Using this measure, the popularity of the potential nominees is determined. This is done by taking real-time data on internet viewership of videos. Therefore, the selection for the awards depends on most watched videos. Visible Measures uses very sound and patented technology to carry out the research; however the program has received a lot of criticism for using this method of selection.
The 39th People's Choice Awards for the year 2012 will be held in January 2013. Some of the main categories for the awards are: Favorite Action Movie, Favorite Movie, Favorite Comedy Movie, Favorite Drama Movie, Favorite Movie Fan Following, Favorite Movie Franchise, Favorite Movie Actor, Favorite Movie Actress, Favorite Face of Heroism, Favorite On-Screen Chemistry, Favorite Network TV Comedy, Favorite Network TV Drama, Favorite Song of the Year, Favorite Album of the Year, and Favorite Breakout Artist. The nominees have already been announced and cover all the favorite faces, movies and songs of the year.
People dream about watching the outcome of their voting live along with the chance to attend a high profile event, where all the most popular celebrities are present. You can be among the lucky ones this year and have the chance to attend the awards. You can attend the awards with friends and family and make memories for lifetime. All you have to do is to get the cheap People's Choice Awards tickets. We wish you enjoy the event, meet your favorite stars and watch them get rewarded as they deserve.

There is more to the Swedish home than DIY furniture and minimalist design, home automation apps might be the new member to the club.
Home automation is no longer a scifi concept, the notion of 'Internet of Things' (IoT) is widely accepted and has been developed into multiple branches, home automation is one of them.
To put it simply, home automation refers to the ability to control everything around the house – from switching the light to opening the door – with a simple push of button or a single tap on the screen.
From conglomerates to startups, from tech companies like Apple, Google, Amazon to non-tech such as IKEA, innovators and experts are looking for better ways to integrate technology into the daily lives. And it all starts at home.
Here's a round-up of some of the best home automation apps coming from Sweden.
Shortcut Labs – Flic
Flic delivers home automation in the form of a tiny bluetooth smart button. Simply connect it to the app, you can enjoy the variety of functions this nifty button offers, including playing music, switching off light, controling thermostats, ordering food and even calling Uber. The customizing option opens up many possibilities.
Furthermore, the company aims to simplify lives at an affordable cost, the Flic button hence boasts a very agreeable price for what it can do.
In recent news, the team is cooking up a Flic Hub that claims to do the same thing without the app!
Glue is a unique app that allows you to control your home security system – through your door lock. The Glue Smart Kit includes a smart lock and a wifi hub that allow you to lock and unlock your door anywhere in the world via the Glue app. No more worries about losing keys, managing keys for guest access or hiding keys under the mat.
Security lies at the core of the business, Glue's intelligent alerts and secure encrypted technology make sure of that.
We have covered Watty last month in our Artificial Intelligence piece – what can we say, the company just ticks all the boxes.
The Watty box is an award-winning product that can be installed in your fusebox. Just download the Watty app then you can start monitoring your home appliance energy. The service promises a better understanding and control over your energy consumption.
The Stockholm-based startup's mission is to create a more sustainable society by fostering better consumer decision. It's home automation meets social cause, basically.
You can't really expect an article about the Swedish home without mentioning Sweden's most popular brand. IKEA just introduces the smart lighting collection Trådfri that can be controlled via remote and the Trådfri app. The series offer a wide range of LED bulbs, panels and doors for furniture equipped with sensor functionalities. The smart lighting is integrated with Amazon's Alexa, Apple's Siri, or Google's Google Home as well.
IKEA also recently started their first accelerator program Ikea Bootcamp, calling for innovative startups with problem-solving motives, home automation could be one of them.
The potential is unlimited, we don't know what the next breakthrough is yet, but the future certainly looks bright for Swedish home automation industry!

Garmin Fenix 3 vs Samsung Gear S3
Garmin Fenix 3 vs Samsung Gear S3 are two top-tier smartwatches, but they are here to serve very different purposes. Garmin Fenix 3 brings more advanced fitness capabilities, whereas Samsung Gear S3 is more of a general-purpose smartwatch with some fitness functions. They are also standing in very different price ranges – Garmin Fenix 3 is significantly more expensive than Samsung Gear S3. Below, we will see the more detailed comparisons to help you choose the right model.
Design and Display
These two smartwatches are fairly large and bulky, but Garmin Fenix 3 is the larger and heavier of the two. It measures 2 inches x 2 inches x 0.6 inches, with a weight of about 82 grams. It is controlled using the five side buttons that are pretty big and easy to press. Well, despite the bulky size, Garmin Fenix 3 feels very solid and sturdy. It also looks sporty and aggressive.
The display on Garmin Fenix 3 is not flashy. It is a 16-color transflective MIP display with a resolution of 218 x 218 pixels. Although it is not very bright or pleasing, the performance is very good. It does not need extra power for backlighting, yet it is easily readable under the sun. See our previous post about Garmin Fenix 3 vs Vivoactive 3 here!
Samsung Gear S3 is lighter and slimmer. It measures 1.93 inches x 1.81 inches x 0.51 inches. The weight is approximately 59 grams. The interaction options on this unit are more diverse and sophisticated. You can use the touchscreen, rotating bezel, two side buttons, or even voice commands to navigate the interface.
Samsung Gear S3 also boasts a brighter display. It features a Super AMOLED touchscreen with 360 x 360 resolution and 16 million colors. The visual performance is very impressive. However, the display draws more battery power for the backlighting in order to be readable under the sun.
In terms of durability, Garmin Fenix 3 has the better overall score. Garmin's products, after all, have been constructed for optimum ruggedness and durability to withstand heavy uses in difficult environments. Garmin Fenix 3's display is protected by the Sapphire glass. It is waterproof to 10 ATM. You can definitely take it into the pool.
On the other hand, Samsung Gear S3 comes with the Gorilla Glass SR+. Although the latest Gorilla Glass versions are stronger and more durable, Samsung Gear S3 is not entirely waterproof. It can withstand splashes, it is safe to wear in the shower, but it may get damaged in the pool.
When choosing between Garmin Fenix 3 vs Samsung Gear S3, you should consider what features that you need the most. If you want to get the advanced fitness features and detailed metrics to improve every detail of your performance, you should choose Garmin Fenix 3. It can collect very detailed data from workouts and outdoor activities. It also has VO2 Max and Recovery Advisor.
On the other hand, Samsung Gear S3 is a general-purpose smartwatch with more smart features. It has a speaker and microphone. You can use it to call an Uber, receive calls, and display news headlines. You can also use it to make payments using the NFC technology. However, the sports-tracking features are limited to running and golf.

Blog Development
Ryan over at Taipei Nights notes this condo developer who named his development BLOG.
My tip of the day to Taiwanese marketers: If you absolutely insist on naming a condo project "Blog" because you like the way it sounds, you would be well served to at least register the domain name that you plaster all over the adverts. The geniuses who thought up this marketing campaign have "http://www.myblog.com" on all of their promotional material. If take a trip to myblog.com you'll quickly realize that is in no way affiliated with this large condo project. It's just (as one would expect) a blog service. How the marketing gurus sold this idea to the rich real estate developers, I have no idea.

Dinner at Lighthouse Pub & Restaurant in Loei
Nov'2012 A great place along the "lake" (actually a klong) in Loei city with soft live music, friendly service and good food. As of August 2014, it is still there but has a new name and better menu. For the rest nothing changed. It is a small place with only outside seating and in Thai-pub style serving Thai food. Most days they have live music. The staff is friendly but speaks only Thai. A good place to sit with friends and enjoy the evening.

It's safe to say that summer has come to a close. The mornings are cooler, the air feels fresher and it's time to start updating our wardrobes for Autumn, which I am looking forward to! I quite like this time of year when it's not too hot and not too cold, it's perfect T-shirt and jacket weather! I'm thinking of maybe doing a post on how I'm transitioning my wardrobe for Autumn? Despite all this, there are definitely some things I will miss about summer…
1) Blue skies and sunshine
We've been so lucky here in the UK to have a gorgeous summer. Yes, the sleeping at night hasn't been pretty but the beach days and long walks have been amazing. I'm definitely going to miss the blue skies in photos and that beautiful golden hour sunlight!
2) Light evenings
I absolutely hate it when it starts to get dark earlier. I always feel so awful when I leave work or uni at 5pm and it's already pitch black. I just hate it and I feel like I miss out on so much of the day. It's also going to make taking blog photos a lot harder – I'm sure you'll all feel me on that one.
3) Summer skin
I actually have keratosis pilaris (fancy name but it's completely harmless and very common). It's also nicknamed 'chicken skin' (nice) which makes my skin appear quite red and bumpy, especially on my arms. During the summer, it looks and feels smoother and less inflamed. So I'm really not looking forward for my skin to get drier, redder and bumpier again! I'm on the hunt for a good cream to help reduce it though.
4) Light makeup
In the summer, I'm generally a bit more tanned and my skin is smoother and I don't wear as much base makeup. It's so nice in the summer to go out the house without having to put much makeup on! Whilst I am so excited to experiment with new makeup looks for Autumn, I am going to miss that light dewy skin feeling!
5) Feeling care and stress free
I've been working part-time in retail since the end of May, and the rest of my time has been filled up with whatever the heck I want. I've had such a nice and relaxing summer and it's been so nice to have a bit of rest after my placement and before I go back to uni. It's also been so nice to spend lots of time with Aaron before he starts his full time job. With uni just around the corner, I am a bit nervous of having more of a set routine again and having to organise my time a lot more. I think it's going to be good for me and I am looking forward to it in a way, but I'm definitely going to miss feeling care and stress free.
Will you miss anything about summer?

The lawyer for a Calgary man charged with international kidnapping for leaving his daughter with relatives in Iraq said Wednesday the girl's return to Canada could be just days away.
George Roszler told Court of Queen's Bench Justice David Labrenz that Ali Al Aazawi has finally been able to obtain replacements for lost Iraqi identification needed for officials there to permit her to leave.
But the lawyer for Al Aazawi's ex-wife questioned whether the father is truly doing all he can to bring 12-year-old Zahraa home to Calgary.
Lawyer Teresa Reilly said Al Aazawi remains in contempt of a May court order that he bring the girl home to her mother, Zainab Mahdi.
Roszler said Al Aazawi has been in custody on the family law matter since his arrest in Toronto in early April, when he returned to Canada alone months after he was supposed to return Zahraa to her mother under a court order.
He said his client should be released so his criminal lawyer, Tonii Roulston, can seek bail on his kidnapping charge.
But Reilly told Labrenz she is concerned because there is some question as to where Al Aazawi's Iraqi passport is.
She noted Al Aazawi swore an affidavit saying his passport from his homeland remains in Baghdad, where he owns a home and Zahraa is staying with his new wife.
But a remand centre file said the dad's Canadian and Iraqi passports were initially in his possession before being retrieved by a family member.
Labrenz adjourned to matter to Friday, when he wants an update on how soon Zahraa might be heading home.
"If I hear on Friday that the child is on a plane or about to be on a plane, this matter will be over civilly," he said.

In the midst of Christian and Antoine battling it out for the gold, I so enjoy seeing their attitude toward one another. The fierce competitiveness alongside the obvious camaraderie make me smile and make me happy to be part of this community. We have two true champions at the top right and it will be a pleasure to see either of them with the gold.
I know it sounds corny, but we really are a big (mostly) happy family.

Airtel customers can now access saving products and services at their fingertips, thanks to a dynamic partnership between Airtel Tanzania PLC, Letshego Bank Tanzania and technology provider, JUMO Tanzania Services Company Ltd.
Timiza Akiba, a mobile money savings solution, is now available to all Airtel Mobile Money customers. This is an easily accessible, fee-free savings solution that offers customers a monthly sum as a reward for saving towards a financial buffer, or goal, instead of spending their hard-earned cash. The reward is calculated as a percentage of total savings on a balance of any size, ultimately encouraging and supporting the growth and development of healthy savings.
This three-way partnership aims to make saving easy and profitable for customers with competitive interest payments and incentivised rewards for those who avoid withdrawing from their savings. The mobile saving wallet is available to all Airtel Tanzania customers, and accessible via Airtel's Money Menu, simply by dialling *150*60#
Savings and rewards start with as little as TSH100
Customers can begin by saving as little as TSH100 with Timiza Akiba and will be rewarded every month if they don't withdraw. With the Timiza Akiba 'fee free' approach, what you save is what you get! Whatever customers can afford to save is kept intact and not reduced by fees and costs. This dynamic offer is in line with Airtel, Letshego and JUMO's collaborative commitment to using innovation and technology to increase financial inclusion for all Tanzanians.
Isack Nchunda, Head of Airtel Money at Airtel Tanzania, said, "We are excited to be providing more services to our customers, some of whom will be saving with confidence for the first time. We wanted to make it as easy as possible for people to make greater use of financial services that respond to their lives, and that will help them to plan for the future."
Customers who choose to save rather than spend will be rewarded every month. Knowing how difficult it is to save in today's costly living environment, Timiza Akiba helps Tanzanians to save for those rainy days, unforeseen expenses or to build a brighter future in a more structured and secure way.
Timiza Akiba – convenient, safe and affordable
Timiza Akiba is convenient and secure, keeping customers' money safe – but it's also affordable, and accessible wherever customers may be located. Customers' savings are securely held by Letshego Bank – part of the wider Letshego Group with operations across Africa – and also regulated by the Bank of Tanzania.
Thabit Ndilahomba, CEO of Letshego Bank Tanzania, said, "Timiza Akiba is the outcome of a truly financially empowering partnership which speaks directly to Letshego's brand promise to Improve Lives. Strategic partnerships remain key to Letshego's strategy across all 11 markets where we operate in Africa, and Tanzania is no exception. Together with Airtel and JUMO, we look forward to growing the discipline and benefits of saving for all Tanzanians, wherever they may be located."
The partnership between Airtel, Letshego and JUMO Tanzania has relied on the work of JUMO at a global level to bring together mobile money and the wider range of financial services for Tanzanians from all backgrounds.
JUMO Tanzania's Rwebu Mutahaba, said, "Our mission at JUMO is to provide more advanced and useful financial services to people who have sometimes found it hard to make use of the conventional banking services, building platforms which unlock value for the customer. Timiza Akiba is just one example of what can be achieved when we set out to deliver real value to real people by increasing their access to financial services."

Syrian Chemical Attack
April 26, 2018
Recently on the 7th of April 2018, in Syria there was an alleged chemical attack by the syrian military on a rebel controlled suburb in the city of Douma. There is a reported number of seventy deaths and over five hundred injured. The chemical weapons used on the rebels as well as civilians were chlorine gas and sarin nerve agent. The people targeted were the rebel soldiers of the group, جيش الإسلام,(Army of Islam).
There have been videos of the aftermath, showing men, women, and children under medical attention as well as the victims who did not survive. However, Russian Foreign Ministry believes that the video of people dying and in panic was staged. There was even an interview with a 'victim',in which the child claims it was staged and that they were given food and drinks for taking part in the filming.
Fake or not fake; the US, France, and the UK, launched a total of 105 Precision missile strikes that targeted three Syrian chemical weapons facilities: a scientific research center near Damascus, a chemical weapons storage facility west of Homs and a storage facility and command post near Homs. These strikes caused major backlash from syrian supporters and tensions in the middle east have gone up much higher than they were before.
Russian President, Vladimir Putin, claimed the strikes were "an act of aggression against a sovereign state that is on the frontline in the fight against terrorism was committed without a mandate from the UN Security Council and in violation of the UN Charter and norms and principles of international law."
With more aggression between the West and the East begins to rise. The question might be 'are we on the verge of World War 3' is on many people's minds. If this conflict does lead to that, we can only hope that an all out nuclear war isn't the end of humanity.

New play area for Ashley Down Green
The final design for the new play area at Ashley Down Green has been released and work is due to start in early August.
by Zuzana Pohloudkova
The final design for the new play area at Ashley Down Green has been released and work is due to start in early August.
Significant changes were made to earlier draft designs in response to the feedback during the council's recent consultation process. The majority of responses received by Bristol City Council favoured a more natural style of play equipment which encouraged both physical play and social interaction. Local resident, Val McLennan, said: "The plans are excellent. My grandchildren are too old for that now; we were promised a play area when we moved in nine years ago, but I'm delighted by the plans. It's interactive and children will have to use muscles and energy.
"The whole area is very nice, but we would like to enhance it a little bit with wildflowers and a community orchard."
The new play area includes multi-use items, such as the timber trail, which will suit a wide range of ages, along with more traditional equipment such as swings and a roundabout.
Raised mounds and rocks will be added which along with the existing slope will provide a more open-ended play space.
The Friends of Ashley Down Green ensured local views are represented to the council.
They said: "Equipment has been selected to reflect both the nature of this green space and also to provide a low impact and natural play area which is complementary to the homes and small woodland which border it."
Ben Spencer is one of many residents who appreciate the park. He said: "We go here a fair amount with my child. It is a very nice and quiet park, away from traffic. It is going to be even better with the play area."
Irina Tuchapska said: "I love to come here to relax after work. It is very peaceful and quiet. Not many people know about it. The play area is great for the children, but some people like it the way it is now."
Bristol City Council have confirmed that all the equipment has been ordered and the provisional start date for work is August 8. The installation will be confirmed as soon as the final improvements to the Stoney Lane access from St Werburghs are completed.

- Rural Umbrian charisma with a kooky kick
- We love...
- the fantastic new vegan and vegetarian menu in addition to the traditional dishes.
Sitting on the edge of the Umbrian medieval town of Todi is Tenuta di Canonica. Its ancient stone structure with watch tower may date back to the Roman era (original parts of the impressive Roman tower bring a real sense of authenticity) but the beautifully furnished suites are a mass of modern homely comfort oozing character.
In this relaxed atmosphere you're surrounded by acres of unspoilt Umbrian forest, fields and lines of olive and fruit trees. Walk around the lush gardens (look out for the elves on the tree branches), check out the old well in the hall (it still works) and chat with Mozart the multilingual parrot.
Although this hotel appeals to travellers in search of tranquillity, there's no denying that its quirks make it an unforgettable experience. A stay here is more home-away-from-home than hotel. Ask a member of the knowledgeable reception staff about Le Marmore Falls, an excursion through the spectacular scenery, or there's always the option to remain closer to home with a swim in the outdoor pool.
Returning ravenous from a day trip, a spread of simple but delicious dishes by candlelight are yours to devour. The food is exceptional and 100% organic, with a mindfulness to health and well-being without compromising on flavour or local tradition.

I first learnt about this story as a child listening to my grandmother replaying her own memories out loud. Her family being forced from their home and witnessing the death of her father. A story, as a boy, I simply accepted as life.
It wasn't until I decided as an adult to explore the reasons why, that I realised how little is known and even mentioned about this monumental conflict.
Have you ever heard of the Montevideo Maru? Or Tol Plantation? Neither had I.
As such it is my ambition and that of Hostages To Fortune to shed a brighter light on the events surrounding the Japanese invasion of Rabaul and the largely unknown opening exchanges of Australia's involvement in the Pacific War.
With all remaining survivors of the conflict fast succumbing to age it is my intention to provoke a greater mainstream understanding of the atrocities suffered, many of which carried far beyond the scope of warfare.
Without diminishing similar campaigns I hope to permanently establish public recognition of the sacrifices made as well as the lasting impact on both sides of the conflict and in doing so preserve the lessons in younger generations of the price of war.
This film is not merely a story of good vs evil.
It is a direct look into the overflow of consequence of war as well as a pertinent historical event that has been all but lost.
We now have in grasp a great opportunity, which I firmly believe has transpired into an obligation to tell it.
It is with great courteousy I invite you to be a part of that process and in doing so help create an enduring access into the heart of a struggle that we have almost forgotten.
Time changes many things.
But one thing changes never.
The memories of those happy days, when we were once together.
The midnight stars are shining on a grave not far away where they laid my darling Daddy.
Irene Shiels nee Lewerissa wrote this for her father Peter after he was killed during the Japanese invasion.
