Read about our current work in progress.
Our work programme includes details about:
It also includes examinations completed in response to issues raised by the public through our audit work or with the Auditor General through correspondence
Our national work programme covers reports that we expected to publish through to late summer 2020. Our Annual Plan 2020-21 includes a list of other planned work.
We're reviewing our work programme because of the wider COVID-19 situation. We're continuing with work in progress as far as possible, working remotely and considering the impact of our work on public bodies at this difficult time.
This work looks at governance arrangements, rather than the technical aspects of the project.
Our report considers how the project was planned and managed and explains the factors that led to it costing much more than had been expected.
This publication will highlight common themes on the challenges of carrying out new legislation.
This is based on four of our recent local government study reports:
We're looking at whether public service board (PSB) partners are making a difference. Are they working together effectively, efficiently and economically to help people with complex needs?
Our work focuses on people sleeping rough in Wales. This follows on from our October 2019 review of PSBs.
Clinical coding involves the translation of health information, usually from medical records, into a code format that can be used to help plan and review health services.
We've examined how clinical coding is being completed at NHS bodies. This includes reviewing their progress with previous recommendations made in our 2014 audits.
We'll publish a national report to summarise what we found.
A national summary of local audit work during 2019-20 that looked at the short to medium term financial position of local councils.
Due to the ongoing situation regarding Covid-19 we have decided not to publish a national summary at this time. The details may be included in a report for similar work completed during 2020-21.
We're examining if NHS Wales has addressed issues we identified through previous local audit work at Public Health Wales NHS Trust.
Our previous audit work looked at the collaborative arrangements for managing health improvement resources.
We're reviewing progress with our 2015 report recommendations to improve how planned care is delivered.
This includes an analysis of data on waiting times.
Our work will look at the impact of COVID-19 on waiting times, including some of the new ways of working currently being put in place. We'll identify learning and opportunities to do things differently once the pandemic is over or under control.
We're currently exploring options for joining up our reporting with our more detailed review of orthopaedic services.
We're preparing another national summary report about local audit work completed in 2019-20.
In 2015, we published a report on orthopaedic services, which looked at local and national arrangements.
We found that services had become more efficient. But while there has been a focus on getting immediate reductions in waiting times, more sustainable, long-term solutions need attention.
A national summary following our counter-fraud arrangements report published in June 2019.
We've considered in more detail the counter-fraud arrangements that our audited bodies have in place.
This study is reviewing if arrangements are in place to deliver the system and its benefits.
The system should allow staff working in health and social care to deliver more efficient and effective services using a single system and a shared electronic record.
We've collected evidence from:
Our follow-up looks at whether actions have improved the management of teachers' absence from the classroom since 2013.
We published our previous report on covering teachers' absence in September 2013.
Since then there have been two Assembly Committee inquiries, a review by Estyn and a Ministerial Taskforce report about this topic. All of which made recommendations to the Welsh Government, councils and schools.
Grants to projects under the Welsh Government's £774 million 'Rural Communities, Rural Development Programme 2014 – 2020' are usually awarded following processes involving open competition. These processes ensure funding goes to the projects most likely to deliver value for money.
However, the Welsh Government granted £130 million to projects without competition. We sampled £89 million of these awards to check if the Welsh Government took any alternative steps to ensure value for money. We did not review the projects themselves.

Neverending Nightmares offers an adult-oriented psychological horror game that contains themes not often seen on our platform. In fact this isn't even an original Android game, as it was actually ported from the PC title that released back in 2014. It did, however, make an appearance on Android in 2015 thanks to the release of the 13th Humble PC & Android Bundle. Ever since then it has only been purchasable for Android on the Humble store for $14.99, although its debut on the Play Store makes it all that much easier to grab thanks to its lower $3.99 price point.
If you couldn't tell by watching the above trailer, yeah, this game contains some dark themes. But what makes it all the more horrific is its juxtaposition of a horror-filled story and a friendly cartoon design. Heck, at first blush you may think this is a game for all ages, but rest assured the fact that it's inspired by the developer's actual battle with mental illness makes for a very personal yet disturbing experience.
For the low price of $3.99, you get a branching story that includes three different endings. A single playthrough should average about an hour and a half of playtime and if you consider that there are in fact three endings to work your way through, completing the game in full should last just about any player a good while.
It is clear that Neverending Nightmares isn't suitable for children and it may not appeal to those of you that don't like horror games that include a bunch of graphic images. On the other hand, if you enjoy digging into atmospheric survival experiences that happen to tell a compelling story worth the asked time and monetary investment, then Neverending Nightmares is most definitely worth a look.

This an interesting read.
Your mama always told you never to wear black with brown or white after Labor Day—but fashion rules are meant to be broken, right?
We're giving you permission to break all 50 of these old school rules.
50. Red and pink clash
Somewhere along the way, these two shades got a bad reputation, but when paired purposefully, they can actually look quite modern and eye-catching. To break this fashion rule, keep the red true, and add any shade of pink, from pastel to fuchsia.
49. Don't wear white after labor day
Lame! As countless designers have proved during the past few seasons, white isn't only appropriate when the weather gets cold, but also amazingly fresh and modern-feeling. One thing to keep in mind when tackling the white-in-winter trend: It's all about the fabric. Lighter textiles such as white cotton, linen, canvas, and seersucker will surely look out of place during the chilly months of fall and…

The CMS Committee is made up of dedicated volunteer students and postdocs working together to achieve our goal of engaging with the University, local and regional communities, and policy makers to encourage and facilitate scientific collaboration, knowledge sharing, community awareness and political engagement with marine issues.
Participation in the group provides opportunities to develop useful skills and networks, both within the University and throughout the region more generally.
We are an active group responsible for several activities including:
- Regular research seminars where Honours and PhD students can present their research and enhance their presentation skills. Research seminars generally involve presentations by two or three students, with time for questions. Special seminars featuring visiting researchers are also held throughout the year as opportunities arise.
- TalkFest, a one day mini-conference, is run twice a year at the end of O Week (Feb and July). Marine researchers from UQ and external collaborators share their research over the course of the day. Presentations are by senior researchers and postdocs, with attendance open to all. There is ample opportunity to network and discuss collaborations over the breaks.
- Post graduate student workshops aimed at providing additional skill development including boat handling in Moreton Bay, Adobe Illustrator, and various other components of effective science communication.
- Public engagement activities including the Biodiversity Roadshow where academics, tutors and volunteers set up various activities designed to increase the public's awareness of, and engagement with, their immediate environment. Microscopes, touch tanks, baited underwater vehicles, field techniques, drawing/colouring activities and guided walks are some of the activities provided.
- Media engagement, both traditional and social, is becoming increasingly important for all scientists. Our media team is relatively new but will be growing significantly providing hands-on learning opportunities while helping us get our messages out to the broader community.
- CMS partners with other organisational units and student groups on campus to conduct an annual Clean Up Australia Day event along the UQ riverbank. The 2017 event included two boats and over 50 volunteers on shore cleaning up rubbish that would otherwise get washed into Moreton Bay. Volunteers also found the time and energy to plant 850 trees!
If you would like to join us, either to work on specific events or to help out more generally across our activities, please contact Tamara Homburg, Committee Chair on firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also visit the Contact Us page for a list of all our teams, their leaders and contact information if you'd like to contact one of them directly.

I passed through Ica, Peru for a few nights to check out the Huacachina oasis and to ride sandboards and buggys through the desert. Here is a short video of my sandboarding experience on the sand dunes of Huacachina, Peru.
If you notice, the snowboarding approach didn't work very well because the sandboards were very sticky, the straps unstrapped easily and the sand was very hot.
When sandboarding in Huacachina, I would recommend renting a good snowboard (available for an extra fee) if you want to actually try to stand and "surf" down the dunes, and also, go early in the day or just before sunset when then sand is cooler.
If speed is your goal, laying down on the boards proved to be the best option. You're given a piece of wax to wipe down the board before you launch yourself down the dunes, and as long as you don't put your hands or feet down you can really get moving.
We hit about six dunes in all and our driver carted us from one to another at high speeds in the dune buggy.
Definitely add Sandboarding and dune buggy rides at the Huacachina Oasis outside Ica, Peru to your Travel Peru bucket list. It is much more exciting than the popular Nasca Lines and the Las Islas Ballestas (the Ballestas Islands) tour.

Cruise the famously clear blue seas of Mediterranean Turkey. Feel the warmth of the sun and salt on your skin, as you wander between untouched coves. Snorkel among rich shoals or explore Byzantian ruins, then return to your comfortable gulet for barbequed lunch and siesta in the shade.
Sounds too good to be true? This is daily life on board our gulet, available for private charter at rates comparable to a modest European hotel.
Hike the Lycian Way along the coastline between Kaş and Demre, with a cruise lifestyle onboard our gulet at the end of each day.

Your host Captain Osman is not only in charge of your gulet, he's also responsible for making sure you get the most enjoyment out of your cruise!
The Selin III is a 16 metre Turkish gulet – a wooden two-masted large yacht traditional to this part of the Turkish coastline.
This one day private boat tour of the Greek island of Kastellorizo (as known as Megisti, or Meis in Turkish) starts and ends in Kastellorizo's harbour. It is ideal for visitors already staying on the island, who would like to explore its formidable coastline by sea.
Unspoilt by mass tourism, Kaş has become a well-known destination for yacht charters, due to its dramatic natural landscape and proximity to many small bays and islands. The Taurus mountains loom over the town, in contrast to the crystal clear waters that also make Kaş a top Mediterranean diving destinations.

North West Legislature Portfolio Committee on Local Government happy with overall performance of Tlokwe but concerned about the non-establishment of Portfolio Committees
The North West Provincial Legislature's Portfolio Committee on Local Government and Human Settlements appreciated the overall performance of the Tlokwe Local Municipality in the 2014/15 audit outcomes but noted with concern the fact that Portfolio Committees have not been established after the 3rd of August municipal elections.
This was during an oversight meeting that the committee held with the Mayor of the NW 405 Local Municipality formerly known as the Tlokwe Local Municipality and Ventersdorp Local Municipality, Mayor Cllr, Khotso Khumalo and his senior management officials who presented their 2014/15 annual report.
Tlokwe Local Municipality, which has received an Unqualified Audit opinion for three consecutive years, has been merged with Ventersdorp Local Municipality to form the newly established NW 405.
Chairperson of the Committee, Hon Motlalepula Rosho was not impressed to learn that the Oversight report of the 2013/14 until the current financial year had not been processed by the Municipal Public Accounts Committee of the municipality as the MPAC was supposed to deliberate on the R57 million irregular expenditure incurred as well as other investigations.
To the Committee dismay, the MPAC Chairperson who accompanied the delegation from the municipality was the only member of the MPAC, all other members of MPAC are yet to be elected, therefore the Chairperson of MPAC could not process the reports on his own. It turned out that all other Portfolio Committees have not been established as well.
"We are not impressed that this municipality, with the history of performing so good has not established Portfolio Committees 3 months after elections. This hampers service delivery" said Hon Rosho.
Tlokwe Local Municipality Mayor, Cllr. Kgotso Khumalo, said the municipality 'takes the lashes with kindness and promise to pull up their socks and work very hard.' "We are custodian of hopes and dreams of our communities and we are entrusted with financial responsibilities, therefore there is no justification whatsoever not to have Committees that are functional" he said.
For the Ventersdorp Local Municipality, the Committee did not mince its words. The Chairperson said the municipality was in shambles, it has been receiving Disclaimer Audit Opinions. According to the Auditor General's report, there are no drivers for internal controls, inadequate leadership and there are no plans to address audit outcomes of prior years.
The report also states that goods and services were procured without inviting competitive bids; the municipality could not pay its creditors and the intervention did not yield expected results. The Committee recommended that the Acting Municipal Manager for NW405 must develop an Audit Action Plan and implement it. "She must also investigate irregular expenditure and send the reports to MPAC for processing. All these must be reflected on the progress report of the new NW 405 municipality in the next meeting.
"We also want the former Ventersdorp Municipal Manager's suspension report, there are issues that have to be followed up on the matter. The report on the burning of a building as this is an asset of the municipality, it must reflect on whether the building was insured, consequence management on the part of officials responsible if it was not. The Committee is expecting a full report on all issues raised by the 31st March 2017," said Hon. Rosho.

5 Signs Your Engine Is Losing Power
Can you name five signs that point to power loss for your car engine? HowStuffWorks can help you identify power loss problems for your engine.
Author's Note: Top 5 Signs of Engine Trouble
I mentioned in that last tip that no one could possibly be so ignorant as to let their car run out of coolant. No one but me, that is. My first car (when I was 17) was a Chevy Chevette. I knew nothing about car maintenance, having only a vague idea about oil changes being somehow necessary. I certainly didn't know about checking fluids, or paying attention to the temperature gauge in the dashboard, or what to do when any warning lights came on. When hot, white smoke billowed from under my cheap hood, I learned very quickly about the price of coolant ignorance. It's expensive to replace an engine, even in a crappy car from the 80s.

10 Essential Facts About Type 2 Diabetes
You can take steps to successfully manage your diabetes and protect your health. Here's what you need to know to get started.
Your body breaks down the food you eat and uses it for growth and energy. If you have type 2 diabetes, your body may not be able to accomplish this routine function as efficiently. The good news is "there's a lot people can do to improve their lifestyle and live long, healthy lives," says Alison Massey, RD, CDE, and director of diabetes education at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland.
Here are 10 essential facts you need to know about type 2 diabetes so that you can make the right decisions and stay healthy — for life:
- It's the most common type of diabetes. More than 23 million people in the U.S. have diabetes, and of those, 90 to 95 percent have type 2 diabetes, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK).
- If you're 45 or older, you should get tested, says the American Diabetes Association (ADA). And people who are overweight and have another risk factor should be tested sooner. Risk factors include:
- Having a parent or sibling with diabetes
- Being of African-American, American-Indian, Asian, Hispanic, or of Pacific Islander descent
- Being sedentary
- Having high blood pressure
- Having abnormal cholesterol levels (low HDL or high triglycerides)
- Having a history of cardiovascular disease
- Having polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- If you have diabetes, you should know your blood glucose numbers. One way to know if your treatment is working is to track your blood glucose levels. Target ranges are based on individual considerations. Your doctor will let you know where your numbers should be.
- Your diet doesn't have to be restrictive. "A meal plan to better manage diabetes is simply a healthy eating pattern that all of us should be following," Massey says. The ADA encourages a balanced diet that includes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, non-fat dairy, healthy fats, and lean meats or meat substitutes.
- Losing weight will improve your health. Weight loss improves the body's ability to process glucose and use insulin, according to the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). Research has found that overweight people who lose weight are able to delay or prevent the development of type 2 diabetes, the NIDDK notes.
- Oral health is especially important if you have diabetes. Diabetes increases your risk for oral health problems like dry mouth, thrush, and periodontal gum disease. And gum disease can make it more difficult to control your blood glucose. Be sure to practice good oral hygiene — brushing and flossing every day — and see your doctor for regular checkups.
- Diabetes raises your risk of eye problems. As many as 40 to 45 percent of people with diabetes have some amount of diabetic retinopathy, an eye condition caused by damage to the blood vessels in the retina, the National Eye Institute says. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in the U.S. Other diabetes complications include cataracts and glaucoma.
- Heart health is another major concern. High blood glucose levels cause damage to nerves and blood vessels over time, the NIDDK says. Plaque buildup is another byproduct of high glucose levels. These factors increase your risk for heart disease and stroke — at least two times that of someone who doesn't have diabetes. Heart attack and stroke are the leading causes of death among people with diabetes.
- Diabetes is a main cause of kidney failure. Even when diabetes is under control, there is a risk for chronic kidney failure, the NIDDK says. Of the 100,000 people diagnosed with kidney failure in the U.S. each year, nearly 44 percent of cases are caused by complications of diabetes.
- It takes a team approach. The risk of complications from type 2 diabetes is great, and for that reason, your diabetes care team needs to have the right experts to ensure nothing is missed. You should consider having a primary care physician, an endocrinologist, certified diabetes educators, a podiatrist, a dentist, and an ophthalmologist, Massey recommends.
If you've recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, you're not alone. Millions of Americans successfully manage their condition every day — leading vibrant, healthy lives. To get started, sign up for Everyday Health's Diabetes Step-By-Step program to get the tools you need to succeed.

Applicants to the M.S. in Childhood Education program are expected to have satisfactorily completed general education coursework in the humanities and sciences as part of an undergraduate program at an accredited college or university. Applicants are also required to submit scores they obtained on the G.R.E.
The Childhood Education graduate program has two specific prerequisites in the field of education, and – beginning with the Summer 2009 program – one prerequisite in mathematics.
In addition, as per New York State Education Department guidelines, initial certification requires the completion of college-level coursework in a language other than English or evidence of proficiency in a language other than English (i.e. a placement or proficiency exam).
Prerequisite Coursework in Education
Two prerequisites in the field of education are required, either the following two Ithaca College courses or their equivalents:
- EDUC-34000 Social and Cultural Foundations of Education
- EDUC-21910 Early Field Experience: Theory and Practice (includes 50 hours of field experiences in school settings)
Applicants may submit evidence of equivalent coursework taken at other accredited institutions, as well as satisfactory completion of approximately 50 hours of school-based field experiences.
Applicants who have not completed the prerequisites are sometimes admitted provisionally, with the understanding that all prerequisites will be completed according to a plan developed by the program chair.
Prerequisite Coursework in the Disciplines
Applicants to our Childhood Education graduate program are expected to have taken coursework in each of the core disciplines of the elementary school curriculum: English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.
At a minimum, applicants should have taken 6-9 credits in each of these areas:
*English language arts (English, Writing, Communications)
*Mathematics (Mathematics, Statistics)
*Science (Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Physics)
*Social Studies (History, Political Science, Geography, some Sociology/Anthropology)
Applicants who have questions regarding their eligibility for admission to the Childhood Education program are encouraged to contact Dr. Peter Martin, Chair, Graduate Programs in Education.

How to Use Cipro to Treat Bacterial Infections
Cipro is a popular medication taken by people to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It belongs to a group of meds called quinolone antibiotics, so it works by stopping and preventing the growth of bacteria in the body.
You shouldn't use it for any viral or other infections because this medicine won't be effective, and the worst part is that its misuse leads to reduced effects in the future.
General Guidelines on Its Correct Use
You should take Cipro orally, usually twice a day (in the morning and in the evening), but don't chew or split tablets because of their bitter taste.
Basically, the length of your treatment and regular doses are prescribed by doctors according to a specific medical condition and tolerance to its ingredients. Be sure to drink enough water when using Cipro and avoid mixing it with other medications because of possible interactions.
You need to take this medicine at even intervals to get the most from it.
Possible Cipro Contraindications
Talk to your doctor about any other products that may interaction with this medication because of possible drug interactions.
For example, it's not advisable to mix Cipro with such meds as vitamins and minerals that contain iron and zinc, products that include calcium, aluminum and magnesium, antacids and so on. Stay away from calcium-enriched products because they tend to reduce the effectiveness of this medicine.
You shouldn't use any narcotic pain killers and anti-diarrhea pills when undergoing this treatment.
Possible Side Effects
There are both mild and serious side effects caused by Cipro, but the good news is that they are very rare, so they don't affect many patients. In rare cases, they may develop such unwanted symptoms as:
- Lightheadedness and headaches;
- Diarrhea and nausea;
- Difficulty sleeping;
- Allergic reactions.
If any of these symptoms get worse, you need to contact your doctor at once, especially when it comes to such serious adverse effects as:
- Increased sun sensitivity;
- Unusual bleeding and easy bruising;
- Signs of new infections;
- Symptoms of kidney or liver problems;
- Stomach pain and severe vomiting;
- Urine changes and yellow eyes;
- Fainting and irregular heartbeat.
Moreover, the use of Cipro may lead to serious intestinal conditions because of persistent bacteria, so you need to go to the hospital once you notice any blood and mucus in your stool. If you use this medication for a long time, you risk ending up with new yeast infections.
Basic Precautions for All Patients
Before using Cipro, discuss possible health risks with your doctor, especially if you have any allergies, heart conditions, diabetes, tendon and joint problems, liver and kidney diseases, nerve complications, seizures and others.
Finally, you also need to keep a list of other medications that you're using because some of them may cause unwanted and dangerous drug interactions, including blood thinners.
Don't drink too much coffee when taking Cipro.

Hurray for Rupert!
I never got the time to do this, so I'll do this right now. Congratulations to Rupert Boneham, for winning the second million dollars on Survivor's America's tribal council. He is by far the most liked survivor this season. I think he is even the most liked survivor in survivor history! ^_^ I feel so happy for Rupert. He lost the first time in Survivor: Pearl Islands. In Survivor: All Stars (This season), he made it to the final four and was voted off! Fortunately, CBS gave away another million dollars for another survivor, and America was able to vote for that survivor. I guess the third time is the charm, huh?
The Restaurant comes on tonight at 10:00 EST on NBC. The season finale is in one week (It's ending already? What a short series.....)
Well, I guess I can say that the pirate finally found his treasure!

Is the Chia Pet commercial stuck in your head too? You're welcome.
Believe it or not, chia seeds have quite the history. They were originally domesticated by people in Mexico, Central America and some parts of South America as early as 2600 BC (source). Despite their size, they're nutritional powerhouses. According to the book Born to Run, the Tarahumara's of Mexico use chia seeds to fuel their long runs. So this means that the paste you make when you add water to chia seeds, is indicative of the seeds hydration abilities. And to think we wasted them on Chia Head!
So why is this important?
I went to Bikram Yoga today. Ever been? Let's just say it's 90 minutes of heated torture….but when it's over, I always feel amazing. Unfortunately, the heat and I do not get along unless said heat is accompanied by the ocean and a large pitcher of margaritas. So, long story short I needed 2 things:
- hydration during my work out
- something to help me recover
Enter- the chia seed. During my workout, I added a tablespoon to my water bottle. If you want to give it a try- consider this; do you like tapioca? If not, you won't enjoy the texture a tablespoon of chia seeds adds to your water. If you do, well then, go ahead and pour some in!
Post workout, my body needed some serious attention, so I made a green smoothie. Go ahead and try one. It's a great way to sneak in some greens, and you can mask the taste by adding fruit. Here's my basic recipe:
Basic Green Smoothie
- 1 cup Vanilla Almond Milk
- 2-3 cups greens (I used Kale. If you're unsure about the flavor, start with spinach) ** helpful hint- de-vein your greens first!**
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 TBSP chia seeds
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup frozen berries (unsweetened)
- Sweetener to taste (I used agave syrup because we had it today)
Add everything, in the order listed, to your blender and blend! It's helpful to add the frozen ingredients last because by doing that, you give them a base to mix into and can usually avoid clogging the blender's base and blade.
Which Chia Pet was your favorite?

Soon from the travelling heavens the western star
glowed nearer, and Potitius led forth
the priest-procession, girt in ancient guise
with skins of beasts and carrying burning brands.
new feasts are spread, and altars heaped anew
with gifts and laden chargers. Then with song
the Salian choir surrounds the blazing shrine,
their foreheads wreathed with poplar. Here the youth,
the elders yonder, in proud anthem sing
the glory and the deeds of Hercules:
how first he strangled with strong infant hand
two serpents, Juno's plague; what cities proud,
Troy and Oechalia, his famous war
in pieces broke; what labors numberless
as King Eurystheus' bondman he endured,
by cruel Juno's will. "Thou, unsubdued,
didst strike the twy-formed, cloud-bred centaurs down,
Pholus and tall Hylaeus. Thou hast slain
the Cretan horror, and the lion huge
beneath the Nemean crag. At sight of thee
the Stygian region quailed, and Cerberus,
crouching o'er half-picked bones in gory cave.
Nothing could bid thee fear. Typhoeus towered
in his colossal Titan-panoply
o'er thee in vain; nor did thy cunning fail
when Lema's wonder-serpent round thee drew
its multudinous head. Hail, Jove's true son!
New glory to the gods above, come down,
and these thine altars and thy people bless!"
Such hymns they chanted, telling oft the tale
of Cacus' cave and blasting breath of fire:
while hills and sacred grove the note prolong.

The most effective treatment for Ebola might be having white skin.
Regions / Sierra Leone
The twin plagues of ISIS and Ebola thrive on the breakdown of the existing order.
With support from Moscow, Washington, and the former imperial capitals no longer assured, armed groups in Africa now compete for riches in diamond mines, gold pits, oil wells, and rare earth deposits.
Sierra Leone may be slowly transcending its ethnic-based politics, but poverty remains an omnipresent threat to its development and democracy.
The citizens of Sierra Leone turned out in droves to vote, but they have failed to benefit from booming oil exploration and the mining industry.
The case of the Sierra Leone "15" highlights the country's growing resistance to multinational land-grabs.
Emira Woods, an Institute for Policy Studies expert originally from Liberia, comments on Taylor's conviction.
Dance/movement therapy can help child soldiers deal with trauma and postwar reconciliation.
In countries like Sierra Leone, AFRICOM is definitely not the answer to Africa's challenges.

Jalapeño poppers are a popular party snack, but ugh... the calories! This baked version cuts the fat and adds a lean chicken and lower-fat cheese in place of traditional fatty cheese.
Believe it or not, these poppers couldn't be easier. The seasoned panko breadcrumbs let you keep the crunch without frying, and while they're not exactly a low-fat food, they're significantly lower in calories and fat than the ones you get in restaurants.
Baked chicken jalapeño poppers recipe
Yields 20 – 24
- 1 chicken breast (about 4 ounces), boiled until cooked through and shredded (season as desired)
- 1 (8 ounce) block Neufchatel cheese, softened
- 1 can green chilies
- 2 ounces white Mexican cheese blend (ours had asadero, queso quesadilla and cotija)
- 1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
- 3/8 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 egg whites, beaten
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/8 teaspoon Spanish paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
- 10 – 12 fresh jalapeños, halved and seeded (wear gloves!)
- Cooking spray
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken breast, Neufchatel, green chilies, Mexican cheese, garlic, 1/8 teaspoon salt and the pepper and set aside.
- In a separate shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic, chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Fill the jalapeño halves with the chicken mixture.
- Dip the filled jalapeños in the egg whites, covering the top of the chicken mixture, too. Then dip the coated jalapeño into the breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides and the chicken mixture (use a spoon).
- Spray the peppers with a bit of cooking spray and place them on a greased baking pan and bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Garnish with additional paprika if desired.
