Hello everyone,
Good to be here and hope the week is going great.
At Engage Africa Foundation (http://www.engageafricafoundation.org/) we are also a team of young people with an aim to fight chronic diseases on the African continent through health promotion, knowledge sharing as well as leveraging social media increasingly with a strong emphasis on prevention.
I would love to share with you what our organization is doing to raise the profile of NCD issues worldwide.
Recently we started a petition on change.org that aims to draw attention to the underfunding and underestimation of chronic disease on the continent. You can view and sign it here: https://www.change.org/en-CA/petitions/the-bill-and-melinda-gates-foundation-...
Our vision for this petition is to see big players in global health specifically the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, being the largest funders of global health initiatives make a prominent paradigm shift toward leadership in combatting chronic diseases as a global health priority. While funding is definitely an area that can largely speed up work in the area, this is not simply about funding rather this is a call for visible leadership and equity in priority setting in global health. This is in the light of the current and projected impacts of chronic diseases on global health if kept unchecked.
I hope you will collaborate with us through proactively spreading the word about this petition among your network. We believe that if we are able to call the attention of big players in global health to chronic disease, it will significantly change the attitudes of every other player and will contribute to better leadership and more efficient work for this time-sensitive cause.
The petition can be found here: https://www.change.org/en-CA/petitions/the-bill-and-melinda-gates-foundation-take-a-lead-role-to-curb-the-rising-epidemic-of-non-communicable-diseases
Thank you for making this happen.
Hello Ebele,
I commend your efforts and your commitment to fighting NCDs in Africa. It is a noble initiative. As a medical doctor, I have seen patients suffer from NCDs. My father is hypertensive and my mother is diabetic. So the advocacy for control of NCDs readily resonates with me. I am committed to ensuring we develop evidence-based cost effective interventions to tackle them effectively.
We need to clearly point out that sub-Saharan Africa has a double burden of disease: infectious and non-communicable diseases. The capacity to tackle the burden is challenged by a weak health system and lack of evidence-based policies. This implies that any intervention must first strengthen health system with a focus on primary care and promote access to care. It must not be skewed towards a particular disease or groups of diseases. The silo thinking focused on diseses does not work; systems thinking is better!
I am sure you are aware there is an ongoing unfinished battle against HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and pneumonia in children, malnutrition...and even poverty. Sadly still, every second a child dies in Africa due to malaria. HIV and AIDS is raging Southern Africa. Maternal mortality is unacceptable high. If these donor agencies are not actively working on these infectious diseases, I strongly believe the situation will be worse! if they withdraw funds, as some are doing, we may loose the gains we have achieved in the last decade fighting these infectious diseases. In fact, it is high time we looked beyond how much assistance we get from outside, and design highly relevant socially acceptable simple interventions that cost little.
Shall we wait for Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation and many others to shift funding focus before we begin to do visible sustainble work on the field, to fight NCDs?
It is instructive for us to emphasize the appropriate model: strengthen health system, improve access to care and invest in primary care. This model worked in Rwanda. It has helped to cut dowm maternal and child mortality, improved access to care to over 95% of the population and set the country on its path to achieving most of the Millennium development goals. Thanks to visionary leadership and investment in primary care. In Rwanda, I have a feeling it will not be difficult to combat NCDs because the foundation for a victorious battle has been laid.
Nonetheless, I support your course, Ebele. We need people like you to create a disease-free Africa. Kind regards.

Harper boys defeat Leakey 60-45
By Danny Hirt —
Following a fourth place finish in their own tournament last week, the Harper Longhorn boys' varsity basketball team won Tuesday night at home against Leakey, 60-45.
The 'Horns will next participate in this weekend's tournament at Sonora, then stay on the road Monday to take on Blanco. The game is scheduled to tip off at 6:30 p.m., following a junior varsity contest.
Harper 60, Leakey 45
The Longhorns broke open a close game in the fourth quarter, outscoring Leakey 17-6 during that eight-minute span, to come away with a 60-45 victory.
Guy Stevenson knocked down 19 points to head up the Harper effort. He also led the team in rebounds with eight, assists with six and steals with three.
Other double-digit scoring came from Jayden Baumann and Carson McKnight who chipped in 10 apiece.

Skin Cancer Foundation RecommendationThe Seal of Recommendation is granted to products that provide effective UV sun protection and safely aid in the prevention of sun-induced damage to the skin.
This nourishing moisturizer with SPF is formulated with an outstanding blend of UV-protecting ingredients, including Z-Cote, an effective barrier that provides superior broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. This product was specifically formulated with moisturizing Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium PCA for dry or dehydrated skin. Silybin, also known as Milk Thistle, and Caffeine provide superior antioxidant action to help maintain skin health during exposure.
If you want a lightweight moisturizer because you don't need a lot of moisture, then this might be perfect for you. If you have normal to dry skin, this is not heavy enough. I have sensitive skin and don't have any problems with this moisturizer, which is a plus, but I went through the bottle in several weeks. It also leaves a white residue, which is very similar to a heavy sunscreen. Since it does have an SPF, I'm assuming that's what causes the white residue. I love PCA in general and will try something different next time.
I have used Hydrator plus broad spectrum 30 for several years as an all in one skin moisturizer and protectant. It never burns my eyes and keeps my combination skin very healthy and happy. It is soothing after Lazer treatments as well.
Smooth a nickel-sized amount onto skin after cleansing, toning and applying any PCA SKIN treatment serums. Allow to absorb 30 minutes prior to daytime exposure. Reapply after two hours of sun exposure and repeat every two hours as needed.
This product can only be shipped to addresses within the U.S.
There are no DOT restrictions on the delivery of this item – you may elect to have this item sent through any of our delivery methods.

"I ordered these cards and actually used them in conjunction with magnet announcements as save the dates. I was able to completely customize the lettering (I changed 'Details' to the date of my reception) and they turned out fantastic! The whole design is gorgeous and will go perfect with our vintage chic theme"
"We really needed to give our guests more information about our reception, so we chose this card and changed the wording up a bit. It is now a great little info card! WPD was wonderful at helping me with the wording. They pointed out any typos and suggested some word changes so that the card was more uniform with our invitations. I couldn't be happier!"
"These turned out perfect. They had all my information printed precisely how I asked. Great high quality card stock. Very pleased!"
"I have a fold out invitation with side pockets and needed to add enclosure cards detailing menu options, hotel info and the day's events. The main section is Copper with White lettering. I bought this insert in Aqua and changed around the wording to create a sort of 'Experience' page detailing the day's events. I love the combo and layered this card over a different, slightly larger card with a colorful design underneath. Beautiful with the Copper!"
"We used these enclosure cards in a couple of ways - one set to Special Guests, included details around events following the wedding (dinner with the newlyweds, next day brunch, etc). We also used them to explain our collection of Blessing Stones from our guests. Essentially, these were inserted into the programs with instructions for our guests around the tradition and their part in it. Really cool."

I'm Here and Not a Little Bit ScaredLori Garcia
Howdy there, this is my first day as the new kid in school. My name is Lori Garcia but the Internets call me "Mommyfriend".
I feel compelled to admit I just lied to you in the title; sorry about that. MomCrunch is a big-huge deal for me and I lie when I'm nervous.
Why am I nervous? Let me count the ways:
1. I'm blogging with my bloggy idols. Like whoa and pretty please like me!
2. I'm used to blogging about boogers, poop, and the occasional nervous breakdown.
3. Hello, this is MomCrunch! The premiere source for everything relevant and bitchin' in the world of social media!
Since we're bound to be fast friends, there are a few very important things you must know about me right this minute:
I once fell off a stage and onto a pile of 2×4's and bruised my lady bits bad (like a billion times worse than childbirth bad).
I've got the HTML like Jagger.
I pronounce vlog "vee-log".
I'm on a diet right now so beware of unwarranted snark.
I once turned down an interview on Good Morning America because I had nothing to wear.
Yep, that's about it.
You may have seen me around these parts before. I started blogging here at Babble on Toddler Times and now blog at Kid Scoop (in addition to getting MomCrunch-y with you here). As long as I don't wind up on Being Pregnant (love love love the blog, not the whole actually "being pregnant" thing); things will be cool.
Thanks so much for having me here and I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. In fact, I know it is.
Get your daily dose of Mommyfriend here where nothing is sacred.
Follow Mommyfriend on the Facebook and the Twitter too!

WineAlign is the ultimate service for making informed buying decisions at your local Ontario government wine store. Use it before you shop from your home or office computer, or standing right in the store aisle with your mobile device. It aligns current store inventory, professional critical ratings and reviews, your budget, your food choices, your taste preferences and those of your friends. It is also a practical site, providing valuable tools to manage your own cellar and inventory and build your own personal rating system. And it is a social site allowing you to share information and discuss wine recommendations with friends and associates.
Over and over again we hear about people buying wine by snatch and grab, by label design or by some vague notion that a certain grape or region is supposed to be good. Many purchasers readily admit that they buy wine by chance "without having a clue". The complex system of releasing new wines in Ontario, especially the more expensive, smaller quantity wines, makes selection decisions even more difficult. Many wines are here today, gone tomorrow, sometimes within hours if the local wine media has raved about it. WineAlign quickly and efficiently allows you to narrow your options to the most highly rated wines within your budget, that are currently sitting on the shelf at your local store. The service even provides you with the ability to preview upcoming releases a few days before they hit the shelf.
WineAlign was designed by wine consumers, - not wine sellers - who want logical, practical and objective wine buying advice. The service aggregates ratings from a growing portfolio of top Canadian wine critics who taste thousands of wines a year and have an objective frame of reference for rating quality and the journalistic ability to effectively communicate the style, character and background of the wine. But your opinion, and those of your friends, matter as well, so WineAlign allows you to build your personal review and rating system.
Leveraging the latest technology, WineAlign is simply the best tool for making informed wine buying decisions. In the coming months, WineAlign will be expanding to other provinces across Canada. We invite you to explore the many benefits of WineAlign, saving money by making more informed wine purchases and consistently bringing great wine experiences to your table, and to those of your friends.

The way you feel about life, people and the world around you, the things you think, say, and do, fashion the response you get back from life, and shape your reality. So you get from the world what you give to the world. […] You attract to you the same vibrations you give off. This is the nature of yin/yang.
Every Day Tao; Leonard Willoughby
Today I turn 40. It's the start of a new decade, which makes me think about the previous decades and what may be in store for the coming one.
My 30s was by far the most eventful decade I've had yet. It started with the birth of my daughter, 10 days before I turned 30, back in 2001. I was reading blogs back then and certainly exploring web technology. At that point, I was a Web Manager for corporates in New Zealand (I think I may've been in-between jobs on my birthday).
I started blogging in early 2002 and then ReadWriteWeb began on 20 April, 2003. Since then it's been a rollarcoaster ride, as the business ramped up.
Also in my 30s I got married… then divorced.
I got diabetes type 1, in November 2007. The exact cause isn't known, but undoutedly personal and business stresses were a big factor. It changed my life forever. Including in some good ways – I'm now slimmer and eat much healthier.
I've traveled more, especially in America. I made my first trip there in 2005 and have been back many times since. I love America and I've met many wonderful people there. In my 40s I plan to do much more travel, to other parts of the world. Europe and Asia both are largely unexplored for me as yet.
I bought a house in Petone this year. It's a colorful house that makes me feel vibrant and creative. Petone is my home now.
During my 30s I really found myself. I was a late bloomer. These days I call myself a "fine wine," meaning I get better as I get older
This past year has been the toughest of the past decade, with intense personal and business challenges. There are as many question marks in my life now as there were 10 years ago, but the difference is that there's a strong core to me now. The experiences of the past decade have strengthened me and taught me a lot about myself – and life.
So today as I enter into my 5th decade on this planet, I know there is much to look forward to. Further personal and artistic growth, guiding my daughter as she goes through the challenging second decade (moving from child to adult), unfinished business with RWW, much travel to do, special friends, love (hopefully, as that's something that can never be predicted), more and deeper writing, …
One can never tell what will happen in the future. In New Zealand over the past year, we've seen Mother Nature at her most destructive with the Christchurch earthquakes. Wellington, where I live, is on a faultline too. The other big unknown is health. Having gotten diabetes in 2007 and seen loved ones battle huge challenges like cancer, I know how fragile life can be.
But life is about constant exploration. I learned that in my 30s, whereas in my 20s I was largely hiding from life.
I've always believed in yin-yang, harmony… and melody! During my 30s, I brought those things out of myself and mixed them with the world. As a wonderful book I bought in Christchurch earlier this year, Every Day Tao (also quoted above), put it:
Belief is going into yourself and saying, "I am what I am." Then you begin to find that abundance begins to flow around you.
For example, I discovered art a few years ago and now I'm having a ball exploring the work of great artists from the past and contemporary. It's expanding my mind and giving an extra dimension to my life. I dabble in painting myself and perhaps I will do more in art over the coming decade. Who knows.
I'm looking forward to my 40s! Now here's a Neil Young song, live from 1971, the year I was born:

Microsoft kicked off a new program on Tuesday, responsible for the discovery, reporting, and coordination of vulnerabilities in third-party products and services.
The Microsoft Vulnerability Research (MSVR) program launched on Tuesday with two Google Chrome vulnerabilities. Microsoft has a mixed history with Google over responsible vulnerability disclosure. Microsoft issued a Security Advisory in June last year, warning of an unpatched vulnerability in the Windows Help and Support Center function in Windows XP. Google's senior security researcher, Tavis Ormandy, notified Microsoft about the flaw at the beginning of June. Days later Ormandy published proof of concept code, saying "without a working exploit, I would have been ignored." The working exploit saw attacks increase rapidly and Microsoft claimed the Google workers move put customers at risk.
Microsoft's new MSVR program chose to highlight two Google Chrome vulnerabilities to kick start the program. Microsoft has made it clear that the company has spoken to Google officials before disclosing the flaws publicly. Network World reports that Google has already fixed the bugs that Microsoft is disclosing. A Google spokesperson told Network World that "these issues are actually quite old" and were covered in Google announcements in September and December.
The first flaw (MSVR11-001) could allow sandboxed remote code execution inside Google Chrome according to Microsoft. "A sandboxed remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Google Chrome attempts to reference memory that has been freed," Microsoft said. "An attacker could exploit the vulnerability to cause the browser to become unresponsive and/or exit unexpectedly, allowing an attacker to run arbitrary code within the Google Chrome Sandbox. The Google Chrome Sandbox is read and write isolated from the local file system which limits an attacker."
The second flaw (MSVR11-002) affects Google Chrome browser versions 8.0.552.210 and earlier, and Opera browser versions 10.62 and earlier. "HTML5 implementation in Chrome and Opera could allow information disclosure," says Microsoft. "An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the implementation of HTML5 in these Web browsers [Chrome and Opera]," Microsoft says. "Specifically, as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) describes in the HTML5 specification for security with canvas elements, information leakage can occur if scripts from one origin can access information from another origin."
Despite the old vulnerabilities, it appears Microsoft will be using this new platform to unveil its own security efforts for non-Microsoft software. Google and Opera are the first targets for Microsoft's disclosure program but given Adobe's troublesome time with Flash vulnerabilities, it's only a matter of time before it makes an appearance.

I know that the following question sounds stupid and maybe not "technical" enough for this forum, but I think it deserves a serious answer. The question is: who knows how the toilet waste mechanisms operates on commercial airplanes ? Does the system accumulates the waste in an on-board container that emptied after the flight, or it just thrown out at 36,000 feet ? Or, perhaps, some chemical mechanism is used to disintegrate it instead of storing it ?

She's hot, she's blonde and she's a porn superstar. Welcome to the official website of Jill Kelly! Here you are treated to photos and videos as Jill gets nasty with some of the hottest gals and luckiest dudes in the business.
To access JillKelly you will usually have to select the site from a list of many network sites. Or sometimes going through the Club Jenna network portal alone will get you there as well. The first time it was redesigned a while back meant a drastic reduction in content and unfortunately that hasn't changed.
There are six videos that can be streamed in Flash or downloaded in full-length, good-quality Windows Media and QuickTime files. Some of the flicks also offer MPEG clips if you prefer to go that route. Whether she's paired with a male or female counterpart, you can be sure that the action is always hot!
The picture section is made up of 20 sets of pics. You'll find hardcore and softcore shots as this blonde bombshell shows off her triple-X skills. However, you will also find a bunch of candid photo sets featuring other chicks and people at events and behind the scenes. The pictures aren't quite high-res, but they look good and the galleries can be downloaded in Zip files.
The site hasn't updated in over two years, but there are some bonus sites and video feeds to help pass the time. You'll get access to some great babes like the gorgeous Briana Banks and the incomparable Jenna Jameson. You will, of course, recognize many of the pornstars among the bonus babes, but many of them haven't been updating much either - if at all.
If you've ever lusted after this blonde pornstar, then you'll want to check out the exclusive Jill Kelly material. However, there just isn't enough of Jill to please her diehard fans or those new to her. This small collection is only maybe worth signing up for if you are also interested in the bonus pornstar sites.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
