If the integrity of your supply chain is suddenly thrown into question and the reputation of your company is at stake, preparation is paramount.
In a crisis you will need to work fast, and usually without the facts you want, said Simone Whitfield, director of issues and crisis at Hill+Knowlton Strategies, speaking at the CIPS Annual Conference.
However, there are three things procurement needs to know to help their company through a crisis.
"Suddenly you've got a lot of people wanting information from you, and they all want it now," said Whitfield, and many of them will also be under pressure to provide answers they might not have.
Speaking at a crisis management simulation at this year's CIPS Conference, Whitfield said consumers care about accountability and not the challenges of traceability in a supply chain.
"They believe that the company from whom they are buying a service or a product is accountable for absolutely everything, from one end to the other, that goes into providing it," she said. "And they're really not that interested in the complexities of how that product gets to retail or how that service is provided."
Preparation is key. "Wishful thinking does not make a plan," said Whitfield. Many organisations will already have crisis management plans in place and procurement staff ought to familiarise themselves with them.
Even if you are not part of the team that will have to deal with media or other outside communications, Whitfield suggested procurement needed to get the correct messaging. "It's going to need to be very consistent with what the rest of your organisation is saying," she said, and it is important not to make promises you might not be able to keep.
When in doubt, Whitfield said remember "the key Cs":

In the winter literally everyone seems to be getting sick. Your coworker won't stop coughing and your kid keeps coming home from school a snotty mess, and a box of tissues barely lasts you one day.
Contrary to popular belief, cold weather does not make you sick — but respiratory viruses (namely, influenza) do tend to peak during the fall and winter. In the US, flu season typically lasts from October to March. However, a nasty case of sniffles and aches during the winter doesn't always mean you have the flu. Often, it's just a cold, which you can get any time of the year.
The common cold and flu are both contagious respiratory illnesses that can make you feel miserable, but they are caused by different viruses. Some flu symptoms may mimic a cold, but the flu tends to be much more serious and deadly — so it's important to know the difference between these two illnesses. Obviously, only a doctor can diagnose you, but knowing how to recognize symptoms is always helpful.
So how can you tell if your symptoms mean you have a cold or the flu, and what is the best treatment? We spoke to Dr. Tania Elliott, an allergist and immunologist at NYU Langone Health in New York City, to find out.
Note: This article is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical advice. If you have questions or concerns about your personal health, talk to a health care provider.
What is the common cold?
The common cold — often called a head cold, chest cold, or just "a cold" — is an acute viral infection in the throat and nasal passages. Many different viruses cause colds (hundreds, actually) but rhinoviruses are the most common culprit, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Typical cold symptoms are a runny nose, headache, sore throat, coughing, sneezing, and less often (and usually mild), body aches. A cold will typically last from five to seven days and sometimes up to 10 days, Elliott told BuzzFeed News. Colds are often relatively mild and go away on their own, but over-the-counter medications such as pain relievers and decongestants can help relieve the symptoms.
As the name suggests, colds are pretty, well, common. Adults typically get anywhere from two to three colds each year, according to the CDC. Colds don't usually lead to complications, but they can be serious for people with weak immune systems or underlying respiratory illnesses, such as asthma. Occasionally, colds can lead to secondary bacterial infections (more on that in a bit).

Website usability with Wecan Media
One of the most important tasks for any website designer is website usability. Website usability can be defined as a way of measuring the quality of the user's experience when they're using the website. Website design, from the viewpoint of the user, should be seamless. The user should be able to find their way around your website easily, navigating to exactly where they wish to go without having to undertake special training. Website usability isn't just one thing however, it happens to be based on a number of factors. Absolutely anyone looking through your website will want their ease of learning to be top quality.
They'll want to be able to get to grips with the user interface so they're able to jump in and out whilst accomplishing the most fundamental and navigational tasks. Efficiency in terms of use is another such factor. Once they've learnt to navigate your website (hopefully quickly), they'll want to accomplish things with haste and they'll want to do this even if they've never used your website before. They'll also want to be able to do this again should they wish to revisit in the future without having spent a lot of time on your website previously. This is known as memorability. Once they've finished with your website, they should have liked the experience. Now of course, you can't please everyone in life however there are always common standards that you should be working towards in order to ensure good usability. Here at Wecan Media, we give you a rundown of the most common usability mistakes in web design and explain how best to avoid them.
Usability error one: clickable areas that are too small
Your website will no doubt contain a number of hyperlinks and these are all supposed to be clicked on so it's essential that you make them big enough to be clicked easily; it's just that simple when it comes to this particular usability error. If they aren't big enough then your hyperlinks won't be very well received. You must remember that your user's hands won't be very precise to begin with so by making clickable areas too small, you almost ensure the only people to click on them will be the ones with the finesse on a computer mouse. A bigger hyperlink however makes it much more convenient to simply hover the cursor over. In order to make your clickable area bigger we suggest simply making the link bigger or improve the padding around it.
Usability error two: abuse of pagination
In terms of website usability, pagination can indeed be great but only when it's used for the correct purpose during website design. When used correctly, it can be a welcome feature that gives the website a much more convenient layout making it far easier to absorb. Sadly, it can also be misused making it a big contributing factor to usability inconvenience. There are some websites that are fond of using pagination to divide their content pages in to a number of different pages and there's an ulterior motive behind this; to increase page views. A lot of online magazines and even blogs get their revenue by advertising.
By receiving more page views, this increases their stats allowing them to charge far more for placing advertisements on their websites. What they don't realise however is that this can be detrimental when it comes to SEO. By dividing your content up, you're pretty much diluting it and this has the effect of reducing the number of relevant keywords on each page. This means that every one of your pages make far less sense to Google and as a result, Google will fail to correctly recognise what each page is about. This will severely impact on the search engine results in a negative way.
Usability error three: hard to scan content
If content is hard to scan then generally it's a case of content that suffers from bad copy. Your copy is the text portion of your content and it's essential when it comes to making the usability of the website great. Before you start worrying about your copy, we recommend you familiarise yourself with the viewing habits of your users. Unfortunately for those putting in the hard work when it comes to copy, your site users won't read all of the information on the webpage.
In reality, they'll absorb information by jumping from one portion of content to another and grab what pops out at them on the page. The eyes of your users will dart from one thing that interests them to another which requires you to structure your webpage in such a way to accommodate such frantic behaviour. To do this we advise your website has just a few clear points of focus and these will function much like the sections of your page to catch their eyes. Perhaps include bigger fonts, along with contrasting colours. You may also want to feature a descriptive heading for every point of focus ensuring these headings are short and to the point, never cryptic. Finally, all additional text must be easy to take in for the average reader.
In summary
In summary, good usability requires a number of distinct factors that can all seem difficult to keep up with. Website usability is all about the user and how they feel while they're travelling around on your website. During the website design you should be putting yourself in their shoes and asking yourself questions such as: can they navigate easily? Will they remember how to navigate it next time they visit? Will they enjoy using your website?
Good website usability has a number of practical benefits to remember too such as return custom. If they can navigate your website easily, then there's much more chance of them returning. They might also tell their friends and family about it and as a result, you'll achieve more page views and eventually a loyal following. Keep usability in mind when designing your website and you'll soon reap the rewards.

A day in the life: Consultant in Strategy & Operations with Deloitte
After a career break, Gomathi Ramanathan joined Deloitte's Return to Work programme. Now a Consultant in Strategy & Operations, she discusses her role and how working a four day week helps her to balance life, career and family
Article written in partnership with Deloitte.
Do you have a morning routine?
It's common practice for consulting teams to be based at the client's office, and I usually work for about two or three clients a year, so my location changes fairly frequently. That calls for adjustments to my morning routine every few months, to fit in with the change in commute.
Generally I am up at 6:00. My three-year-old son wakes up around 6:30 and raises the frenzy level. We have breakfast at 7:00 and are out the door by 7:45. It's absolutely critical to have buffer time, as there's always the chance I'll have to negotiate with my son to convince him that he needs to go to nursery, and not the zoo or park or steam train ride that was the highlight of last weekend.
My husband travels overseas a lot for work but, when he's working in London, he manages the morning drop off at the nursery and I pick up our son in the evenings. On days when my other half is travelling, I need to plan on managing both the nursery drop off and the pickup in the evening.
How does your work day start?
The first thing I do is catch up on emails and plan my day out to the minutest detail. I work within project teams, so it's not unusual to have at least two or three meetings or working sessions in a day. It's a collaborative way of working, with lines often blurring between client teams and Deloitte teams. In between these project meetings, I work on my project deliverables.
I rely on my calendar and to do lists to make sure I have prioritised work and made progress on a daily basis. This reduces the likelihood of surprises close to deadlines. I am out of the office at 17:30 to make sure I reach my son's nursery before their closing time.
It sounds like a busy day. Do you get any down time?
Working a four day week means I have a lot to pack in. I usually take my lunch break around 13:00. Most days do get busy, so it's usually a working lunch at my desk. When I have time, I catch up with colleagues over lunch.
How does your role as a consultant balance with family life?
The evenings are my time to spend with my family. My son and I reach home by 18:45. We talk about his day at the nursery and play together before dinner around 19:30. I cook up a storm over the weekend, and one other day in the week, and stow away dinners for weekdays. They're precisely measured and labelled, in my usual organised style!
After dinner, cuddles and bedtime stories, the little one is off to sleep. Then it's a quick post dinner clean up, a batch of laundry (every other day) and an hour spent surfing TV channels and catching up with my husband. Sometimes, I might do more work in the evening. I'm usually snoozing by 23:30.
What are your biggest challenges in your role as a consultant?
I think hard before taking on work and responsibilities, as I need to fit it into a four-day week. I do turn down a few social events at work. There are many good days when I achieve a desirable work-life balance. And then there are days when the terrible mum's guilt hits me.
I work a four-day week – Monday to Thursday – with the full support of my managers. I spend Friday with my son and also get some of the weekly chores done. That way, we have quality family time over the weekend to recharge our batteries! My son really loves the time we spend together and it feels wonderful hearing him talk about it at nursery or when he has phone time with his grandparents.
What's your favourite part of your job?
I love being in consulting for the steep learning curve and challenging projects. Working with a team of dynamic and hardworking people makes everything easier. Finally, it's great that flexible and agile working patterns are embraced at Deloitte, as it makes it so much easier to manage, and even enjoy, the juggling act of career and life. Of course, I always pray the trains are on time!

The 1908 New York to Paris Race was an automobile competition consisting of drivers attempting to travel from New York to Paris. This was a considerable challenge given the state of automobile technology and road infrastructure at the time. Only three of six contestants completed the course. The winner was the American team, driving a 1907 Thomas Flyer.
In 1907 the Peking to Paris automobile race had inspired an even bolder test of these new machines. The following year the course would be from New York City, USA, to Paris, France, with a 150-mile (240 km) ship passage from Nome, Alaska, across the Bering Strait to East Cape, Siberia, this at a time when "the motor car is the most fragile and capricious thing on earth."[1]

✪ The Great Race from New York to Paris
✪ Today In History: The Great Auto Race
✪ Vintage Photos of American Soldiers Camped in Fort Hamilton, New York City (1908)
The race
The race, which was the first of its kind among automobiles, commenced in Times Square on February 12, 1908. Six cars representing four nations were at the starting line for what would become a 169-day ordeal (making it, in terms of time taken, still the longest motorsport event ever held). The national flags of Germany, France, Italy, and the United States flew, with the Protos representing Germany, a Zust representing Italy, three cars (De Dion-Bouton, Motobloc, and Sizaire-Naudin) representing France, and a Thomas Flyer representing the United States. At 11:15 AM a gunshot signaled the start of the race. Ahead of the competitors were very few paved roads, and in many parts of the world no roads at all. Often, the teams resorted to straddling locomotive rails with their cars riding tie to tie on balloon tires for hundreds of miles when no roads could be found.
The American Thomas Flyer was in the lead after crossing the United States and arriving in San Francisco[2] in 41 days, 8 hours, and 15 minutes. It was the first crossing of the US by an automobile in winter.
The route then took them to Valdez, Alaska, by ship. Then Thomas crew found impossible conditions in Alaska and the race was rerouted across the Pacific by steamer to Japan where the Americans made their way across to the Sea of Japan. Then it was on to Vladivostok, Siberia, by ship to begin crossing the continents of Asia and Europe. Only three of the competitors made it past Vladivostok: the Protos, the Züst, and the Flyer.
The plains of Siberia and Manchuria were an endless quagmire with the spring thaw making progress difficult. At several points, forward movement was often measured in feet rather than miles per hour. Eventually, the roads improved as Europe approached and the Thomas arrived in Paris on July 30, 1908, to win, having covered approx 16,700 km. The Germans, driven by Hans Koeppen, arrived in Paris four days earlier, but had been penalized a total of 30 days for not going to Japan and for shipping the Protos part of the way by railcar. That gave the win to the Americans with George Schuster (the only American to go the full distance from New York to Paris)[3] by 26 days (still the largest winning margin in any motorsport event ever). The Italians arrived later in September 1908.
The race was of international interest with daily front page coverage by The New York Times (a cosponsor of the race with the Parisian newspaper Le Matin). The significance of the event extended far beyond the race itself. Together with the Peking to Paris race which took place the year before it established the reliability of the automobile as a dependable means of transportation, eventually taking the automobile from an amusement of the rich to a reliable and viable means of long distance transportation for the masses. It also led to the call for improved roads to be constructed in many parts of the world.
The winning driver George Schuster was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame on October 12, 2010.
The winning Thomas Flyer is on display in Reno, Nevada, at the National Automobile Museum, alongside the trophy.
World Race 2011
While the planned Great Race 2008 was cancelled as the approval and permits to travel through China were recalled, a second effort was mounted in 2011. World Race 2011 began in Times Square April 14, 2011, as competitors set out to retrace the route taken in 1908 from New York to Paris.[4] Ultimately, four of the starting vehicles, the oldest being a 1929 Ford Model A, a 1932 Ford 3 Window Coupe, the 1967 Volkswagen Beetle, and a 2007 Chevrolet multi-fueled Corvette, reached the Eiffel Tower in Paris on July 21, 2011. Participating in the 2011 race was Jeff Mahl, the great-grandson of George Schuster, the winning driver of the 1908 New York to Paris Race.[5]

Every associate nation always has that one match that the cricketing world will remember even decades later, like Bangladesh beating the mighty Australians in the 2005 NatWest series, Ireland knocking Pakistan out of the 2007 ICC World Cup and Netherlands taking down England in the 2014 T20 World Cup.
Yesterday, we witnessed one such memorable game as England toured Scotland for a one-off ODI and in what was a very high scoring game, the so called 'minnows' overturned a full-member nation. A high-octane game of cricket ended with Scotland winning by 6 runs, registering their first ever win against England.
They performed extremely well at the ICC World Cup qualifiers a couple of months back, but with ICC's new rule of just 10 nations at the World Cup, they unfortunately didn't make qualification. However, the team had a few big fixtures lined up and they began those fixtures with this big win against England. Now we know that Scotland Cricket is here to make a big statement.
Yesterday, they were put in to bat by England at the Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh and put up their highest ever ODI score of 371/5, thanks mainly to a scorching hundred by Calum MacLeod. The top-order batsman smashed his way to 140(94)* after a century opening stand between captain Kyle Coetzer and wicket-keeper Matthew Cross.
This beautiful knock was his second highest score in ODIs and it prompted the 29-year old to be signed by Derbyshire the very next day, for the upcoming T20 Blast. Fifties from Coetzer and George Munsey facilitated this high score from Scotland and all was left in the hands of their bowlers going into the halfway stage.
Read Scoops caught up with Scotland all-rounder Safyaan Sharif, who bowled that crucial 49th over and knocked over the last English wicket. We asked him what it felt like to be a part of this historic win. He was completely lost for words as he knows how much of hard work the entire squad has put in over the years to make this moment possible.
"Absolutely amazing day for Cricket Scotland. It's an unbelievable achievement by everyone. The guys went about their business right from ball one through to the first half of the match. Kyle (Coetzer) and Matthew (Cross) put up a good partnership and put pressure on the England bowlers, and then Calum (MacLeod) came in and played an unbelievable knock. He was supported well by Richie (Berrington) and George (Munsey), all making significant contributions," said Sharif about his teammates.
He further spoke about bowling that final over and taking his team over the line, saying, "In the second half, we knew it was going to be tough. They were going to come hard at us but we managed to keep our calm, stick to our lines and lengths and chip away at their wickets. That last wicket was an unbelievable feeling. We knew we needed to go for the kill if we needed to win the game. The yorker has been one of the best weapons in my armoury and luckily, I nailed one to hit him right on the toe and get that last wicket. Amazing, amazing, amazing day for Scotland and for all the fans that came out and supported us too."
We spoke to Safyaan in depth a month ago and asked him all about the ICC World Cup qualifiers and Scotland cricket's future after failing to qualify for the ICC 2019 World Cup. He was also the leading wicket taker in that tournament and he expressed his views on the tournament and on his career as a whole. You can get that full interview here.

They woke us up early so we could be ready before sunrise. The neighborhood was quiet, a welcome break from the noisy hustle and bustle of modern India. Even the street dogs weren't barking, perhaps out of respect because it was Independence Day.
For my grandparents, who had lived through the struggle for independence from British rule, life with a ration card for food staples was normal. They knew what it meant to do without and did not take freedom for granted.
My grandmother would bring the tricolor flag out, which had been carefully stored away, the night before. My grandfather would have a pole ready to go. We'd walk up the concrete stairs to the open terrace with my grandparents, my brother, my cousin and I. One of us would unfurl the flag and carefully insert the pole through its loops. My grandfather would then affix the pole to the balcony wall close to where the Purple Camel Foot tree had grown taller than the balcony depositing its bright pink flowers on the terrace.
We'd step back and on my grandfather's count, would sing the Jana Gana Mana, India's national anthem, just as the sun rose.
It was a short but solemn ceremony that taught us early on to value all the opportunities we were given. Now that I live in the US and my grandparents still live in India, there is no family flag ceremony anymore. But today, in honor of India's 64th anniversary of Independence, I've made my own special tricolor flag. And as I take a bite of this fragrant and vibrant dish, I close my eyes and savor freedom.Happy Birthday India.

Most people now know that they must have adequate levels of vitamin D for their overall health. However, most people don't know just how powerful vitamin D is and how many different parts of the body it affects. One of those parts is the skin, the largest organ in the body.
Unfortunately, vitamin D is very complex. Our body naturally produces it when the skin is exposed to sun. However, when you do that, the skin ages more quickly and there is a higher risk of skin cancer. Plus, the vitamin D that is produced is used by every organ in the body, not just the skin.
What Is Vitamin D?
Technically, it isn't a vitamin but a prohormone because our body can synthesize it. After 20 to 30 minutes of sun exposure, the body can manufacture up to 10,000 IUs. Exact amounts vary depending on the time of year and day, your geographical location, your ethnicity, your age, whether you are obese and more.
Vitamin D and Cell Replacement and Growth
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. When it turns into calcitriol, it can go through the phospholipid membranes, migrating to the nucleus. In the nucleus, it binds with special protein receptors, which regulate how certain genes react, turning the functions of certain cells on and off. Some of the genes we know vitamin D is involved with have to do with immune function, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Every minute, our body loses between 30,000 and 40,000 cells, while at the same time protecting our body from foreign invaders.
As the skin loses cells from its surface, vitamin D has to tell more specialized cells (keratinocytes) to create new ones. Keratinocytes made up around 95% of the cells in your skin. They are unique in that they can actively divide and they can differentiate. They constantly provide your body with new cells, so that the surface of your skin stays strong and healthy.
What research has shown is that the rates of cell differentiation and division are triggered by various molecules that are controlled by vitamin D. What this means is that if you have a vitamin D deficiency, you will also have problems with your skin. Most notably, your skin will become more fragile, thinner, dryer and wrinkly.
Protecting the Skin with Vitamin D
• Vitamin D is vital to protect and rejuvenate the skin.
• The active form of vitamin D is calcitriol, which helps the cells grow and also supports their repair and metabolism. It ensures the immune system of the skin is in top condition.
• Too much sun exposure may be good for levels of vitamin D, it is not good for the skin.
• Many factors influence whether or not you are likely to have sufficient vitamin D. Since 60% of people in this country now have a deficiency, it is very likely that your levels should increase as well.
• By the time you reach 70, your skin will have lost around 75% of its vitamin D3 production abilities.
• Applying vitamin D topically seems to be an excellent way to protect the skin.
Skin Protection and Repair
We talk about the "immune system", but that actually refers to two different things. First, there is the adaptive immune system, which protects our body by producing and storing antibodies to various infections, bacteria and viruses. But then, there is also the innate immune system, and that is the skin. The skin's role is to stop any foreign invaders from even getting into the body in the first place.
The keratinocytes in the skin metabolize vitamin D, while at the same time, skin cells start to produce receptors for the vitamin. Inside the skin, vitamin D and the various receptors create a barrier that is almost unbreakable, and that is the innate immune system. This has been demonstrated time and time again in various scientific studies.
Understanding the Skin and Production of Vitamin D
Firstly, you have to understand how the skin is made up, which is actually a five-layered organ (from inner to outer):
1. Stratum basale
2. Stratum spinosum
3. Stratum granulosum
4. Stratum lucidum
5. Stratum corneum
It is the two most inner layers that are most important in terms of vitamin D. This is where you will find the highest concentrations of 7-dehydrocholesterol, which is what can absorb the UVB rays of the sun. It is from these points that vitamin D is synthesized and then transported all over the body to get to work on the various organs and cells.
It is clear, therefore, that the skin and vitamin D are intricately related. However, it isn't just about the fact that the skin is responsible for the absorption of vitamin D. The vitamin also protects the skin in many different ways.
Vitamin D and Fighting Free Radicals
Free radicals are present all over our body, unfortunately. We live in highly polluted environments, are constantly exposed to stress and don't eat a healthy diet anymore. As a result, some cells simply don't know what to do anymore and become free radicals. Because of their very nature, these cells can do untold damage to our body, including causing cancer. Various studies have now shown that vitamin D is the best vitamin in our body to help protect us against free radicals. Because the skin loses so much of its ability to produce vitamin D3, however, you need to supplement it. This can also be done by applying a topical cream.
Vitamin D and Acne
Vitamin D has a number of very important roles to play in terms of protecting your skin from acne. These include:
• Making your skin glow by making it smooth, strong and soft and by reducing wrinkles
• Helping to control your insulin response, thereby not just preventing diabetes, but also protecting against acne
• Helping to bring down inflammation, of which acne is one.
• Improving your immune system, fighting infections as strong as flu. In fact, studies have shown it is as effective as the flu vaccine. Acne spots often become infected.
• Easing depression and improving mood. Many people with acne suffer from a low mood.
• Helping to prevent osteoporosis by absorbing calcium.
• Fighting cancer by reducing free radical damage.
• Reducing infections of the respiratory tract.
• Relieving aches and pains.
Vitamin D and Eczema
We have already mentioned that vitamin D is part of the immune system. Eczema is a condition that happens when your immune system isn't working properly. People who have eczema have consistently shown that they also have lower vitamin D levels. Additionally, those with lower vitamin D levels are also more likely to have more serious issues.
The skin is one of the most important organs in terms of our immune system. It is solely responsible for the innate immune system. It creates antimicrobial defenses and lowers inflammation, thereby also soothing the symptoms of eczema. Perhaps more importantly, it helps to fight any infections that happen as a result of eczema.
However, a word of caution is required with regards to eczema. There are also some studies that have shown that people who have much higher than normal levels of vitamin D are also more at risk of suffering from allergic skin diseases, eczema being one of these. As such, it is important that you actually get the right levels of vitamin D in your body. There have been a number of key findings linking vitamin D and eczema:
• Most people with eczema also have vitamin D deficiency.
• Vitamin D can strengthen the barriers of the skin and reduce inflammation by supporting the immune system.
• If you have both eczema and a vitamin D deficiency, you are more likely to get infections as well.
• Boosting your vitamin D levels to normal rates may help make the symptoms of eczema less bad.
• It is not yet known whether taking vitamin D supplements helps with eczema. At present, improvements have been noted through topical treatments.
Vitamin D and Skin Cancer
Vitamin D is absorbed by the skin through sun exposure. Unfortunately, sun exposure can lead to skin cancer as well. Some people are now suggesting that vitamin D can also protect against skin cancer. However, this is not true. The Institute of Medicine in Washington, DC, has completed a review of 1,000 different studies and they could find no evidence that the increase in various cancers, diabetes and heart disease is in any way linked to vitamin D deficiencies.
Most people have a good understanding of the fact that it is incredibly important to have adequate levels of vitamin D in the blood. However, the 'sunshine vitamin' is still most strongly associated with healthy teeth and bones. In reality, vitamin D does a lot more than simply enabling our body to absorb phosphorus and calcium, which supports our bone and teeth development. In fact, over 1,000 individual parts of our body use vitamin D and virtually every single cell in our body has a receptor for it. The skin, which is the largest organ in our body, therefore, inevitably also needs it for a variety of protective purposes.

The pathway to revival and church revitalization is through church planting.
That's a statement that on the surface makes little sense in a city that supposedly has more churches per capita than almost any other city in the world. On the other hand, anyone with children understands the power of new growth.
As a young pastor's family there were many times when we trudged our five children to visit those in hospitals, shut-ins, and nursing homes. Nothing cuts through the darkness of depression and ailing bones better than the life and energy of children. It's the circle of life–God's promise to Eve that despite the certainty of death and sin, God brings life.
So it is with the church. There is no better path to revival and revitalization than the presence of new believers, babies in the kingdom. They bring health and vibrancy to the church.
Charlotte is a growing city. Many of Charlotte's churches are growing, some by people moving in to the city, some by transfer from other churches, and some by evangelism. It's the latter, new believers, who bring vitality to the church. And it's these new believers who also have the most extensive networks and effective witness to all their friends.
Disciples make disciples. That's the mark of a healthy church. Similarly, church leaders train other church leaders, and healthy churches birth other churches. That's the biblical pattern since Pentecost. The church grows as we make disciples of all nations.
The healthy life cycle of the church includes the continual birth of new believers and congregations, but just like the physical birth rates of western countries, the spiritual birthrate of the church is failing to keep up with those who pass to glory. Transfer growth presents false data echo. One congregation gains while another loses. Only evangelism and conversation brings new growth into the church.
Charlotte Awake's mission is to call the church to revival to fulfill the Great Commission in new ways in these last days. Since the pathway to revival is church planting, Charlotte Awake also calls the church to plant new congregations.
The basic building block of Charlotte Awake's ministry is the "Bible Cluster" where groups of three or more encounter God through reading His Word together. But encounters with God through His Word brings many to salvation in Christ, and as people come to know the Lord, they gather in "Community Clusters"–that is, they gather in new gongregations of believers, church plants.
Some Community Clusters revitalize already existing congregations. Other Community Clusters form new congregations that soon birth other congregations.
The principle is still the same. Disciples make disciples. Leaders train leaders. Churches birth churches. And the pathway to revival or church revitalization is church planting–even in a city that has an abundance of already existing congregations. The Lord's kingdom is ever growing. He wants it that way.

Clothes Drying Rack
Use a Clothes Drying Rack to save money and electricity.
We've used a clothes drying rack for years now and it's really become habitual. It's just about the same amount of work as using a dryer since I always have to check the dryer to be sure things are dry. With the clothes drying rack I just put them there and wait a day or so.
It seems to take two laundry drying racks per full load of laundry. We use a wooden clothes drying rack and one made of wood coated in some sort of plastic. Over time (say ten years or so) the wood has warped a bit but it still works well. You can also get metal and bamboo racks.
Looking at the amount of power consumed by a clothes dryer, this is one relatively easy and highly effective way to save electricity. From a financial perspective (savings of around $100/year) and an environmental perspective it just makes sense. A clothes drying rack will cost about $25 for a simpler model and will pay itself off in about six months. That's easier than replacing your refrigerator, which can cost over $500 up front for a replacement (but will pay itself off after five or so years).
Keeping things out of the dryer is also easier on your clothes. (Dryer lint is just pieces of your clothing, eroding away.) If you must have soft towels, or if pet hair is a problem, a quick 10-minute turn in the dryer is enough to take care of it. The rest of the drying time can be on the racks.
My recommendation is to:
- Get two laundry drying racks and store them next to the washing machine.
- Set the racks of clothing near a heat vent when drying in the winter to reduce drying time. If the weather is nice you can set the clothes racks outside (unless you live in an area with a restrictive home owners' association).
- You can also buy retractable clothes lines that work indoors, find racks that mount on doors, or install ceiling mounted drying racks. If possible, you can hang lines outside or get an umbrella rack.
To find a clothes drying rack, search Google on the terms above. Another useful search term is clothes horse.

Iodine for pregnant women
From July 1 the Ministry of Health has added iodine as a recommended supplement for pregnant and breastfeeding women, with subsidised tablets available. Dr Pat Tuohy, the ministry's chief advisor on child and youth health says: "Pregnant and breastfeeding women have increased iodine requirements and in spite of a good diet and mandatory fortification of bread with iodised salt (introduced late 2009) they remain at risk of inadequate iodine intakes. Not enough iodine can result in impaired brain function and impaired growth and development in the unborn baby and young infant. Drug-buying agency PHARMAC is now subsidising a New Zealand-made iodine tablet providing the recommended 150mcg daily dose, which can be prescribed or bought over the counter at pharmacies. Iodine deficiency problems in New Zealand lead to table salt being iodised in 1924 and the level increased in 1938, but the ministry says recent research indicated further intervention was needed to stop iodine deficiency disorders from once again widely affecting the New Zealand population. The re-emergence of iodine deficiency is thought to be due to increased consumption of commercially prepared food mostly made with non-iodised salt, the declining use of iodine sanitisers by the dairy industry and generally reduced salt intakes.

Closer to the Drakensberg Mountain, and the UThukela River, stands a number of households which fall under the aMazizi Nation, led by Chief Miya.
In 1990, upon hearing about the democratic elections, the landowner on the farm where we are residing left the farm and returned back to his original home. Soon after this, residence started using the farm for livestock grazing.
In 1997 a young white man came to the farm and claimed that he was the son of the previous land owner. He gave us the right to continue using the land. He indicated that he had no intentions of using the farm. The young man was immediately taken to the Chief to formally give the land to the community.
The Chief called the community and informed us that the land has been given to us. The community worked together to fence the farm. In that very same year, the community was alerted about Government process of buying land for people. Chief Miya put in a claim for the community on three farms, including the one we are already occupying (Trilby Farm, claim no. N6/2/2/E/3/0/0/14 and 10).
In 2005, a young white woman who goes by the name Cindy came to the farm. She started harassing people on the farm, claiming that the farm belonged to her. A lot of families vacated the farm in 2008 when another person by the name of Terence Yonker (Cindy's boyfriend) came, also claiming that the farm belonged to him. He removed the fencing that the community had installed and sent police to threaten families on the farm. Many families left the farm and only a few remained.
In 2010, I built a small shack in the farm to keep a close watch at the livestock, because we were losing a lot of our livestock. Terence did not like this and the matter ended up with the police getting involved. We were informed that our matter needed the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform to intervene and solve.
Disputes between myself and Terence were happening at a time when I had just joined the farmer's organisation (New Stand Farmers Association), which we were assisted by FSG to establish. FSG is an organisation which assists small scale farmers. In 2013, I became part of the land rights caravan campaign which included people from different provinces whose rights to land were also being violated. We were all calling for our rights to be recognised and protected. The Caravan launched in Pietermaritzburg and ended in Pretoria, where we handed over a memorandum of our concerns. We are still waiting for the concerns raised to be resolved.
In 2015, a man by the name of Dr. Lee came and put fencing around the farm. When we enquired about it, we were told that he bought the farm from Terence Yonker. This was done without notifying us occupants. Dr. Lee banned households from keeping livestock. He brought in his own livestock and used the land we had been using for his livestock to graze. As a result, our livestock is dying of hunger and the drought. We do not know what would happen in the Spring season, our livelihood has been affected.
After so many years, residing and grazing on this farm, it is very sad that it was taken from us so easily. We question whether it is because we do not have money or because of the colour of our skin or mainly because our laws favours certain people. Nobody has responded to our plea, we also need our right to be recognised and protected.
