CAte d'Ivoire receives a boost for development planning from the ECA
On Monday, the Ivoirian Government, through the Ministry of Planning and Development (MPD) and the Sub-Regional Office for West Africa of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), launched the support project to strengthen development planning in Cocirc;te d'Ivoire.
This project forms part of the fundamental mission of the ECA to provide assistance to African countries and aims at supporting the renewal of development planning in Cocirc;te d'Ivoire. It consists of developing a Guide to the Project Cycle (GPC) and of strengthening the capacities of the Ivoirian public sector executives in project monitoring and evaluation.
The GPC refers to a set of tools for project design and management based on the Logical Framework analytical method. It takes into account the activity of management and decision-making during the project cycle (including the missions, roles and responsibilities, key documents and decision choices).
The support of the ECA will make it possible to assess the use of GPC tools in Cocirc;te d'Ivoire and to provide a methodological guide that presents the different stages of the project cycle, as well as the missions, roles and responsibilities of the actors.
As for the capacity strengthening workshop, it will be held in Abidjan on February 21-25, 2017 with the objective of improving technical skills in project monitoring and evaluation for the management of the MPD and of other Ministries in charge of the design and implementation of development programmes and projects.
For the Deputy Cabinet Director of the Ministry of Planning and Development, Mr. N'Grouma Tanoh, it is important to have a guide to the management cycle of the priority projects in Cocirc;te d'Ivoire in order on one hand, to standardise management methods and procedures applicable by all the sectoral ministries and on the other hand, to improve the absorption capacities of credits allocated to projects.
For the Director of the Sub-Regional Office for West Africa of the ECA, Dr. Dimitri Sanga, the launching of this project aligns perfectly with the mandate of his organisation which consists of supporting the economic and social development of Member States, to encourage regional integration and promote international cooperation for the development of Africa.
Taking into consideration the sub-regional context, marked by a relatively low resilience to exogenous shocks, with the loss of nearly 3 percentage points of growth between 2014 and 2015, owing mainly to the effect of lower prices for raw materials, Dr Dimitri Sanga explained that the ECA places a special emphasis on two fundamental levers that are closely associated: the acceleration in the structural transformation of African economies and the strengthening of development planning.
Lastly, the Director of the Sub-Regional Office for West Africa of the ECA congratulated Cocirc;te d'Ivoire which, with the implementation of the second generation of its NDP for 2016-2020, is one of the rare countries of our sub-region and even of Africa to remain in an effective and continual process of development planning since 2012rdquo;.
Cocirc;te d'Ivoire, it should be remembered, implemented successive five-year plans from its independence in 1960 up to 1985, followed by structural adjustment plans and poverty reduction strategy papers up to 2012. In order to transform Cocirc;te d'Ivoire into an emergent country by 2020, the Government has decided to re-position planning at the heart of public action. This commitment was materialised by the development and implementation of the National Development Plan (NDP for 2012-2015) and the adoption in December 2015 of the second generation of the NDP for 2016-2020, which is the new framework of reference currently being implemented.

THE RECLAMATION OF THE WEST 27 ary between Arizona and Califor nia. Nearly all the important rivers of the arid West rise either in Colorado or Wyoming, in the mountain ranges crossing these states, and flow out from these states, furnishing water for ad joining states. This interstate character of the streams has been held as one of the reasons for fed eral intervention in reclamation, as well as the fact of federal owner ship of the vacant lands. GUNNISON RIVER PROJECT In Colorado the largest project now in construction is that of tak ing the Gunnison River into the Uncompahgre Valley. This river flows in a narrow canyon two thou sand feet deep. This canyon has been regarded as impassable, but Mr A. L. Fellows, one of the engi neers of the reclamation service, and an assistant went through in The 1902 at the risk of their lives. The attempt had been made a Th number of times to go down it by near boats, but without success. These time men did it by means of swimming and by using a pneumatic mattress or rubber bed as a raft. They put in small rubber bags the necessary food and a little underwear. In ten days, by float ing, swimming, and climbing, they suc ceeded in getting through and locating the point at which may be located the headworks to take the water out by a tunnel into Uncompahgre Valley. The tunnel, heading in the steep cliffs, continues near the river for three or four miles in order to gain grade, and then passes through the mountain to the valley beyond. Careful surveys and examinations are being made, and it is believed to be feasible to build the tun nel, if enough irrigable land can be found to justify the undertaking. Another project which has been under examination is that in southern Wyo- Present Water Supply System of Phoenix, Arizona lere are thousands of acres of reclaimable land Phoenix which are capable of producing some s seven crops a year. ming on the North Platte River, at what is known as the Devils Gate, on Sweet water River, a short distance above the point where it enters North Platte River. Unfortunately the amount of water available at this point is small, and after careful examination, there is now being considered another reservoir site at a lower point, where there is ample water for storage purposes. This is on North Platte River itself, below the mouth of Sweetwater River. In northern Wyoming there is an other reclamation project, that on Sho shone River, which here flows through a granite range. Surveys are being made to demonstrate the practicability of diverting this river and carrying it out to the broad plains of the Big Horn basin.

CHICAGO – State Senator Jacqueline Y. Collins (D-Chicago 16th) was honored last week as the Illinois Housing Development Authority's "Legislator of the Year."
The IHDA called her "a true champion and the housing expert in the Illinois Senate."
The award recognizes her eleven years of work in the Senate for consumer protection, foreclosure assistance and renters' rights. As chairperson of the Senate Financial Institutions Committee, Collins has sponsored important legislation protecting the rights of consumers entering into subprime mortgages, refinancing agreements and loan modifications. Long before the national recession hit, she warned colleagues about the threat of predatory lending, and at the height of the housing bust, she worked to protect consumers from mortgage fraud and mortgage rescue fraud.
Collins has championed financial literacy – including a requirement that high school students be taught about household budgeting, rent and mortgages. In 2012, she sponsored landmark housing legislation, Senate Bill 16, that has made funding available to towns and cities to rehabilitate properties abandoned during the foreclosure crisis.

Weekend review- Highs and Lows of the HerdThe Sherfield School Basingstoke Bison played out a split weekend with a road loss followed up by a home win on the Sunday night.
Head Coach Doug Sheppard said of the weekend; "Over the last two weekends we've played two great games and two less than satisfactory games. We need to build on the positives and get off the roller coaster and get on a good run."
Speaking about Sunday he added; "I thought we played 40 good minutes tonight, we're learning how to win. We have to learn to play with confidence and if we're scored on we need to shake it off and get back to our own game quickly. We know what we need to do and we need to make sure we're not put off from doing it."
Looking ahead to next weekend he said; "Our highs right now are really high, our lows are too low and we need to work on levelling things out and putting in consistent performances and earning positive results."
Read the match reports below.
The Sherfield School Basingstoke Bison started their weekend with a road game at the Link Centre taking on the Swindon Wildcats.
Swindon Wildcats 5 Basingstoke Bison 2
Bison iced without regular back up Dan Weller-Evans and also sidelined Dan Davies but Sam Brooks was added to the line up along with Matthew Friend backing up Dean Skinns.
The teams shared the 18 first period shots evenly but neither could break the deadlock. It was at 25.25 that Neil Liddiard scored the opening goal. Vanya Antonov pulled the game level with a powerplay goal at 29.20 and Dan Scott put the Bison ahead at 35.35 only to see Aaron Nell level up with 2.43 left in the middle period.
The third period didn't go well for the visitors as Aaron Nell netted his second 48 seconds after the restart and Luc Johnson and Max Birbraer netted for 4 and 5 at 43.12 and 48.20 while Bison could convert none of their five shots.
Swindon: Nell 2+1; Johnson, Birbraer, Liddiard 1+0; Jones, Kelsall, Kostal 0+1. Net: Marr (60.00) 26/2

Bison were missing Dan Davies but welcomed back Dan Weller-Evans and also iced Sam Brooks. Tomas Karpov netted an unassisted marker at just 7 seconds. Bison had the puck in the back of the net 17 seconds later but it was washed out due to a high stick. The Herd dominated the opening period with 17 shots on the Steeldogs net while allowing just 2 on their own.
Captain Aaron Connolly scored a powerplay goal at 22.32 for 2-0 and Jaroslav Cesky netted the third goal at 28.12. As in the first Bison dominated the exchanges in the second with 10 shots for and only 5 against resulting in a healthy 3-0 lead by 40.00
Ashley Calvert scored a delayed penalty goal at 45.03 with a hooking call on Jaro Cesky pending to break the shut out. Despite the confidence of a 3-1 lead Bison conceded a shot advantage in the third period but Dean Skinns closed the door on any further scoring allowing the Bison to run out 3-1 winners.

Sanofi-Aventis is planning to make a major move into generics and acquire the Czech drugmaker Zentiva in a deal worth around $1.66 billion euros.
The French drugmaker has made a counter offer of 40.04 billion Czech crowns for the firm which is listed on the Prague and London stock exchanges and in which it already holds a 24.9% stake. The bid comes in at a higher level than an "unsolicited voluntary takeover offer" made by the Czech financial group PPF, which in tandem with Italian insurance group Generali currently has a 19.2% holding in Zentiva.
PPF is offering to pay 950 crowns per share but Sanofi has trumped this bid by saying it will pay 1,050 crowns per share. This represents a 14.6 % premium to Zentiva's closing price of 916 crowns on April 30, the last day before PPF made its cash offer. The news of Sanofi's bid has pushed up the firm's shares which stood at 1,112 crowns at midday, up 6.9%.
Sanofi says that getting control of the Czech drugmaker "carries a strong rationale" as it is "already established in the various markets where Zentiva operates". The latter is a market leader in the Czech Republic, Turkey, Romania and Slovakia and says it is growing "dynamically" in Poland, Russia, Bulgaria, the Ukraine and the Baltic countries.
At the moment Zentiva is keeping its counsel, having already "strongly advised" shareholders "to take no action" in regards to the PPF offer. A spokesperson for the group told PharmaTimes World News this morning that the firm is not commenting on the Sanofi offer either, though a statement may be made later today.
As for Sanofi, moving further into generics would appear to be a way to provide a regular revenue stream as the firm, as well as the rest of the major players in the pharmaceutical industry, faces up to the challenges of patent expiries and pricing problems. The French firm's bid comes days after Japan's Daiichi Sankyo surprised observers by making an offer that could be worth up to $4.6 billion for Indian generics company Ranbaxy Laboratories.
Sanofi-Aventis is planning to make a major move into generics and acquire the Czech drugmaker Zentiva in a deal worth around $1.66 billion euros.

I recently came across an article relevant to buyers and sellers in the Lexington area. Our office has access to tons of real estate resources not available to the public. We're happy to simplify this exclusive information for you.
According to Keeping Current Matters, there are three important questions prospective buyers should ask before committing to buy a home.
Why am I buying a home in the first place? Forget finances for a moment and consider the real reason you're buying a home. Often, buyers pursue a purchase because they want a home to raise a family, feel safe, have more space, or have control over space.
Where are home values headed? Home values are projected to increase by 5.3% over the next 12 months.
Where are mortgage rates headed? Think about the long-term cost. The graph below reveals what industry professionals predict interest rates will look like this year.
The bottom line is that only you and your family will know the right time to buy a home. If you're thinking about buying or selling a home, I'd be happy to discuss your real estate needs.

There are many so called "remedies" when trying to cure a hangover, but i don't think many people will disagree when i say a well made Bloody Mary is up there with the best of them. We begin our story at a New York Bar in 1921. The bar was in fact called "Harry's New York Bar". This place was a frequent hangout for writer, Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway was not only famous for his writing, he was known as being a hard-core drinker. He in fact held the record for sometime at Harry's Bar, for drinking 2 litres of beer in 46.5 seconds. At Harry's New York Bar in 1921, a french bartender, Ferand Petiot, created a mixture of vodka, tomato juice, lemon juice and salt. He served this to 2 men who were sitting at the bar. He described it as "a new pick-me-up". One of the gentleman said that it reminded him of a bucket of blood. The other gentleman said that it reminded him of a girl he knew called Mary, and the Bloody Mary was born. I know your probably thinking that i made this story up, but many publications, cocktail books and websites have all confirmed that this is how the Bloody Mary all began. After this drink gained popularity at Harry's Bar, another bartender, George Jessel took the drink and added his own twist to it. Along with the existing ingredients of vodka, tomato juice, lemon juice and salt, Jessel added Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce and pepper. This mixture is the classic Bloody Mary that we know today. Both bartenders claim to be the creator of this cocktail.
Since these 2 bartenders created this drink, there have been tons of slight variations, and I'd like to share one of my own. I've never had any complaints when I've had to serve "Dave's Bloody Mary". Start with a shaker, add a good dash of Tabasco sauce and Worcestershire sauce, a pinch of black cracked pepper and celery salt, then a bar spoon of horseradish cream. Stir this mixture to breakup the horseradish cream. Horseradish is great in a Bloody Mary. It gives the drink a different kind of "kick". The Tabasco gives you one type of spice and flavour, but i find that the horseradish, brings another dimension of spice and texture to this cocktail. Now add 45ml of vodka (if your game, i always use a pepper infused vodka. If you can't be bothered infusing your own vodka with peppers, Absolut pepper works a treat), add 15ml of lemon juice (anymore than that and it becomes too sour), lastly top up with approx. 250ml of tomato juice. I like to add ice and shake to help mix all those herbs and spices together well, but a good stir will still do the same job. Pour the contents of your shaker into a tall glass and serve with a celery stick.
If you really want to go all out, try muddling cherry tomato's and cucumber with your Bloody Mary. I believe that this cocktail has no boundaries. I've experimented with using paprika, beef stock, freshly chopped chillies, jalapenos and the list goes on. When making your Bloody Mary, have fun with it, don't be afraid to experiment. I'm a massive lover of good tequila, so I often substitute the vodka with tequila. This is known as a Bloody Maria.
I hope this cocktail brings gives you the "pick-up" you need. Enjoy!
In a shaker:
Pinch of cracked black pepper
Pinch of celery salt

Why Nicaragua Vanished: A Story of Reporters and RevolutionariesBy: Robert S. Leiken (author)Hardback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionIn 1990, Nicaragua's Sandinista government was toppled in an election that every major American news organization and pollster predicted they would win in a landslide. Why the Nicaraguan upset and why did the U.S. media get it so wrong? Through an examination of American coverage of Nicaragua since the Cuban Revolution, Why Nicaragua Vanished provides intriguing answers to these questions, and for the first time tests media coverage of a major foreign policy crisis against an independent analysis of the events covered. Robert S. Leiken offers valuable insights into how the media shapes Americans' opinions about the world, and in the process he challenges American cultural stereotypes. Beautifully written, Why Nicaragua Vanished is perfect for all interested in the media, foreign policy, Latin America, or U.S. intellectual life.
About AuthorRobert S. Leiken is the director of the Immigration and National Security Program at the Nixon Center in Washington, D.C. and a non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

- Japan's most sacred island now in UNESCO's list of World Heritages
- In this island, women are not allowed and men have to go naked on arrival
- The island is mostly visited by priests. No tourists allowed
Okinoshima, Japan's most sacred island is now in UNESCO's World Heritage list.
In this tiny mysterious island, women are not allowed and men are expected to get naked and undergo a purification ritual before they can step foot on the site, located in southern Japan.
"Most of those who visit are priests who take traditions and taboos very seriously. The visitors are forbidden to reveal details of their trips and, neither are they allowed to take anything when leaving the site," reports BBC.

The priests are reportedly responsible for enforcing the bizarre rules. They are the ones who banned women from visiting the Okinoshima shrine.
Interestingly, it has never been known why they don't allow women to visit the island in the first place. But there are speculations.
"One of the reasons being put forward is that woman can defile the sacred spot during menstruation," notes Ryo Hashimoto in one of Japan's news outlets.
Others argue the journey to the island is dangerous, and therefore the priests are trying to protect women, who are the bearer of children, from the dangers.

Though UNESCO has now put the sacred site on the global spotlight, the priests insist that no tourist will be allowed to step foot on the island. They also reportedly insist that they will continue enforce the rules.

FROM TAMPA, FLA. — It was Pittsburgh . . . no, it was Arizona . . . no, it was Pittsburgh . . . no, it was both of them, clutching each other in a dance of breathless, wonderful chaos.
It was the Steelers' giant James Harrison rumbling 100 yards with an interception for the longest scoring play in Super Bowl history, then collapsing in the end zone in exhaustion.
No, it was the Cardinals' shaggy Larry Fitzgerald streaking 64 yards with a touchdown catch that could have made more history, sticking his hand into a quiet sky in stunned disbelief.
No, it was the Steelers' speedy Santonio Holmes stretched into that same sky a few minutes later, three defenders around him, one football in front him, the ball finding his hands, his toes finding the grass, sudden victory wrapping him in its dizzying embrace.

The DriveBot is an ingenious gadget, developed by a group of Thai engineers, that is essentially a Fitbit -- for your car. The device and its companion app provides real-time monitoring of your vehicle's health and offers solutions in response to problems it detects.
The Drivebot app is designed to offer basic instructions on how to resolve simple problems, and direct users to people who can resolve more complicated problems. The underlying idea is to proactively detect and address issues before they become more difficult to take care of.
The DriveBot's developers are running an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for production of the device. They are hoping to ship an iOS version of the device in February 205 and an Android version in March.

Pupil Premium, Catch Up Premium and FSM
The government concentrates significant funding and focus to ensure that those students that are perceived to come from more disadvantaged backgrounds are supported to engage and make progress. Pupil Premium students are those who have been on Free School Meals (FSM) at any point over the past 6 years (Ever6), children who have been looked after continuously for at least 6 months (CLA) or children whose parents are in the armed forces.
For the year 2018/2019 the Pupil Premium has a value of £935 per eligible pupil. Neither the government nor any government agencies have set out how the Pupil Premium money should be spent, but it is clear is that the money should be used to narrow the attainment gap between the highest and lowest achieving pupils. This is what we at The Weald are setting about doing with our pledge and commitment:
The Weald School's Pupil Premium Commitment:
Ensuring excellent academic progress
Knowing individual students' stories and removing their barriers to learning
Developing resilience and self-esteem
The Weald School's Pupil Premium Pledge:
To ensure students sit somewhere they can easily receive teacher attention - in formal lesson observations and on learning walks, PPG visibility will be appraised;
To mark students' work first and frequently - in progress reviews, evaluation weeks, lesson observations and through departmental systems' management, PPG students' books/folders/practical work will be scrutinised;
To meet students' needs by being persistently attentive about supporting progress by offering differentiated opportunities to learn - we will know individuals' stories and provide solutions to their barriers to learning.
We focus on the areas that research tells us make the greatest difference. There are a range of different types of interventions that the school provides including:
The appointment of an additional member of the school leadership team whose exclusive focus is narrowing the PP gap;
Support of basic literacy and numeracy skills with specialised tutors;
Small group support through subject specific English and Maths Learning Advisors who provide intensive support to raise skills in key areas when needed;
Learning Mentors at KS3 and KS4 who work with a range of students to enhance general progress and develop learning habits across all their subjects.
Use of peer-tutoring, which research shows is effective and enables older and younger students to work together to increase understanding;
Use of some of the funding to support those students who find it difficult to provide the very basic equipment and experiences that are needed for success in specific subject areas;
Enabling wider engagement and participation
We know from research and from experience that when students engage fully in school life, join clubs and activities, their self-esteem rises and they are more likely to be successful. Therefore we use some funding to subsidise eligible students to attend trips to make sure that all our students are able to benefit from all of the enhancement opportunities available at The Weald.
Promoting personal wellbeing and attendance
Our Learning Mentors, help students develop personal understanding, resilience and self-esteem alongside learning habits. Attendance is also a priority; although the school average is high, there is irrefutable evidence that attendance is directly linked to successful outcomes. We at The Weald want this for all of our students.

Well it's been a little while since i last updated my blog!! I finished my iv's a week ago, after needing a third week because of my naughty right lung! But it seemed to settle down and my lung function made it back up to my magic number of 41% so that's me happy just hope i can keep it there!!
So since i've been ill i was too tired to pretty much do anything, sorting the Skydive and getting my last few people to book up has been hard work to say the least, i really didn't want to turn into a nag! With some people thought thats just what i feel like!! As of the end of this week though i'm not chasing anymore, if people want to do it they can sort it themselves! I have 16 people booked up, 2 more who are possibly gonna do it on a different day and 2 more who i'm awaiting them to book!! That's the 20 people i wanted and i'm well happy with that!!
So now i'm starting to get my life back together and sorted i just need a little motivation really to kickstart me. Can you believe that I actually went over 3 weeks without writing a single To Do List just not like me at all!! Even then i wrote one and didn't really carry much out on it!! But now i really need to start getting organised and find little miss joey chief organiser again!!
So i need to plan another Pub Crawl, i loved my night out with my pub crawl team and i wanna do it again, so need to get planning!! Thinking maybe for the bank holiday!! Friday night!! I'm also planning a bag pack at Sainsbury's with help of Sharon hopefully for in a few weeks time!! Also after talking to Sharon on the phone last night she gave me another few ideas!!
I've also been trying to organise my holidays and holiday shopping!! You can never start too early!! I've booked both my holidays over last few weeks! Off to Turkey with Steve, Sarah and Joe on the 11th August and then to Cyprus with Stephanie for Gemma and Gareth's Wedding at the end of September!! All together that 17 days in the sun, therefore i need lots of bikini's and holiday clothes!! Today i got some lovely bargains, got lots of tops and stuff, to be honest i think i need slow down, but i had a voucher for 40% in peacocks and got £60 worth of clothes for £36, 4 boob tube tops, 2 tops which a cute like dress's on me, one skirt, one bikini and boob tube dress!! Bargain!! I just hope the other bikini i really want comess bk in the shop on their delivery tomorrow cuz my voucher runs out on the 8th!! Fingers crossed!! After that i have to stop spending, i have holidays, weddings and hen do's to save for!!
I've started going on sunbeds now to help me feel better, nothing better than a good sunbed and nice tan to make me feel good, just need it to clear up my stupid cipro and ceftaz spots i get on upper chests, fast, cuz really don't like them!!
On the plus side i've also put 2kg, no idea how! i've honestly been living on a tesco strawberry moose n two biscuits for breakfast with a cuppa!! So it must be the fact i've been doing my feed every night, but even so i've only been having 500 ml and i used to have 1000. so who knows, anyhow it's gone on way too fast, piled around my middle and i'm not too happy, i wish i could just do it slowly!! A little has gone on me boobs though so guess thats a bonus!! xx
Well all in all think this is a happy blog today, gonna move forward now and hopefully i'll stay well for a little while too!! x
