The United Nations Logistics Base is located on the Adriatic coast of the Mediterranean facing the Balkans, the Middle East and Africa. Dating as far back as the fifth century b.c., Brindisi was already considered an important port, a safe haven and a gateway to the world. Today the United Nations benefits of this ideal location and infrastructure in support of peacekeeping.
The original storage facility for the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) was the United Nations Supply Depot (UNSD) first located in Naples and later moved to Pisa, Italy. The supply depot was first established to receive assets available upon the closure of the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF 1) in 1956. During the 1980s and in the early 1990s, the end of the Cold War brought about an immense increase in UN Peacekeeping activity worldwide. UNSD, consisting of 3,200m2, had become too small to receive the quantities of usable surplus equipment that had become available upon the closure of several missions. In recognizing the limitations of UNSD and the need for a well-supported location in which to store and maintain reserves, DPKO sought to avail itself of a more strategically located facility. The Republic of Italy’s experience with Peacekeeping and the need to ensure adequate logistical support to the missions guided the United Nations to Brindisi, Italy.
In 1994, UNLB was established by the United Nations to meet the logistics needs of an ever growing number of Peacekeeping Missions. Memorandum of Understanding regarding the use by the UN of military premises was signed with the Government of Italy on 23 November 1994.
The location within an Italian Air Force base and the support of the Italian government were critical for our success from the very beginning. Since the year 2000, UN Humanitarian agencies have also operated a Response Depot on the base.
a. Logistics support: strategic deployment stocks (SDS), material, technical and procurement support.
From 1994, UNLB received refurbished and forwarded hundreds of shipments of used mission materiel. This activity saved and continues to save the Organization hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.
In 1998 , the General Assembly approved small Start-up kits of new materiel to support the start-up of new missions.
In 2002 the General Assembly approved the establishment of the Strategic Deployment Stocks. This revolving inventory provided 150 million dollars of equipment to be purchased, received, maintained, shipped and replenished at UNLB (thousand vehicles, hundreds of generators and up to three thousand containers of material).
To date, over 265 million dollars worth of SDS has been sent to missions. We are now preparing several shiploads and cargo flights to Darfur and Chad. In UNLB we add value to the SDS items the moment they arrive. Each item is inspected, labeled, inventoried, tested and when necessary adapted to field conditions; we receive items and we deliver systems. We are often called to accompany the SDS as Technical Support Teams during the early stages of a mission. We offer solutions and we provide continuous support.
Logistical activities have diversified beyond Strategic Deployment stocks. Currently UNLB receives an important volume of material in transshipment which is inspected, tested, inventoried and consolidated and shipped to missions.
Information and Communication Technology or ICT is the UNLB pillar which deploys critical telecommunications equipment, designs and develops applications and systems for missions. ICT connects every year over 15 Million voice calls, supports 4000 video conferences and provides communications support services to more than 90,000 users in United Nations’ Field Operations.
Peacekeeping activities have greatly expanded, and UNLB has become a strategic Communications Technology hub for United Nations Department of Peace-keeping Operations supported field operations. UNLB now hosts 155 satellite communications links in addition to monitoring and coordinating the establishment and operations of all 800 DPKO/DFS satellite telecommunications links. UNLB acts as the main bridge for telecommunications services such as e-mail, telephone communications and videoconferencing sessions between all of the peacekeeping operations worldwide and between those operations and UNHQ.
Over the last few years, the volume of support provided to DPKO Field Missions and other UN Agencies/Offices (such as ECA, UNON, UNOG, ICTY, ICTR, SCSL, International Criminal Court, UNIIIC, WFP, UNOWA, UNOV, ESCWA, etc) has also dramatically increased.
The UNLB Training Centre manages hundreds of technical, administrative and managerial courses every year. UNLB hosts the Integrated Training Service, which delivers the core induction training courses for civilian staff deploying to field missions. During the financial year 2006-07, this Centre delivered 116 training courses for 1,758 staff from 28 missions and 12 agencies and conducted 6 Senior Mission Leaders Courses in various locations.
In 2007 the General Assembly approved five new tenant units which are hosted in UNLB: the Strategic Air Operations Centre, Geospatial Information Systems Centre, Engineering Design Unit, Regional Aviation Safety Office and Reference Checking Unit. In addition, the Secretary General has proposed that the UN Standing Police Capacity to be hosted in UNLB.
UNLB is proud of counting with a human capital of 57 international staff with a wide range of skills and experience in UN missions, 173 locally recruited staff, many of them with over 10 years of experience in 30 technical/administrative fields and 134 international and Italian contractors with state–of-the-art technical expertise.
UNLB today is a busy hub of activities far more diverse and complex than it was yesterday. The support we provide from Brindisi to the missions can be equated to the support we provide in Brindisi for the missions. We pride ourselves in having the potential and experience to excel in logistics, technology and knowledge management.
All peacekeeping missions and peacebuilding operations remain important customers far after they have been established.
SDS, Transshipment and UN Reserve remain available to meet operational or security requirements.
ICT routes all mission data, voice and video communications through Brindisi and maintains day and night their information networks.
UNLB guarantees Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity to all field operations.
We develop, we provide and we support all the enterprise software applications of peacekeeping.
Peacekeeping professionals from all missions gather in UNLB for training and seminars Every month hundreds of mission recruits participate in an intensive induction programme at UNLB.
All hosted units provide added value, support and savings to field operations (innovative engineering solutions, optimized use of peacekeeping aircraft, improved aviation safety, accurate geodata, integrity of selection).
From a depot of materiel in transit to a strategic support capacity, to a provider of solutions projected to the missions, to a capability of the Organization which is a lifeline for the success of our operations worldwide -UNLB continues to provide the port of departure, safe haven and gateway to the world.
While logistics remains a pillar of UNLB, we have expanded into information and communications technology and training taking us beyond peacekeeping and beyond logistics. UNLB is now the cornerstone for the delivery of field support.

Steel is the go-to material for sturdy railings. Steel railings offer a great look too, often resembling wrought iron. Steel railings are made up of welded panels, so the load capacity is quite excellent. This type of railing is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Traditional steel is prone to corrosion. However, you can choose stainless steel railing that is rust-resistant (but not completely rust free).
Though not as well-known as steel, aluminium is also a top choice for those who want metal railings. Aluminium is just as durable as steel, but it’s comparatively more lightweight. You don’t need to paint or heavily maintain this material either. Though, you can buy aluminium railing in multiple colours. Alloy also gives you a better choice at choosing the shape of the balusters, unlike steel. It’s only disadvantage is that it’s not as corrosion-resistant as stainless steel.
Cable railing is highly popular for its ability to give railings unobstructed views compared to any other material. The wires in cable railing systems are made from a metal. You can choose the type of metal you want, such as alloy or steel. The latter is the industry standard. Your best option is most likely stainless steel cables, which you can browse on the Fastener Factory website. Cables are durable as metal. The thinness of cables are perfect for making railings bird-friendly. Only disadvantage is that cable railings are not code compliant in some parts of Australia.
Some homeowners and builders don’t like to choose glass because it’s considered a fragile type of material. However, the glass in railings is tempered and laminated, making the material less fragile than it is in traditional forms. Glass railings offer clear views of the other sides. It’s also highly aesthetically pleasing, as you can even tint the glass for unusual looks. Glass offers many benefits, but it’s load capacity is limited. Also, the upkeep is high. You would need to regularly clean the glass to remove water spots, dirt, grime, and other build-up.
Wood is the best material to choose for a traditional-looking railing system. Wood offers a charming natural look, and is lightweight compared to metal. Wood railing can be economic too, depending on the type of wood you choose. Wood can be painted on to match staircases or decking. If you don’t like high maintenance, you may want to stay away from wood. Not only is wood require constant upkeep, the material is prone to damage. You may find yourself doing occasional repairs on wood railing in high-traffic areas.
If you want the natural looks of wood and the sturdiness of steel but without their respective drawbacks, composite might be the material you need. Composite is considered a synthetic alternative to wood. It’s made up of wood fibres and recycled plastic material, like PVC, which forms the interior. The core of composite railings can thus handle higher load capacities. You can get composite railings to look like wood or colour them over. These railings don’t require much upkeep and don’t rust. But, the material is very difficult to prepare and install, so the overall costs may run high.
Choose any railing material from the ones given above as you like. Make sure you know your needs well before picking any material.

The furnaces and heating systems in old houses in Dallas can be deceptive. They may look and even sound antiquated and appear in need of replacement. But a careful check of the system may reveal that it is more than adequate, or that by replacing the burner or a pump, the furnace can go right on producing heat throughout your building. If that is the case, don’t be too quick about replacing the entire system. Heating systems are expensive to buy and even more costly to install.
Old homes may have one of three types of heating systems; a hot water or steam system, both of which require pipes leading up from the furnace to each radiator in the house; or, one that uses forced warm air, which is pushed through ducts that end in grills in each room. The forced- air systems are what most contractors install in new construction, but older homes usually have a steam or hot water system.
The problems with steam and hot water systems are the noise they make and the unsightly radiators all over the house. The noise is not a function of the fact that the system has been in function for 30 or 40 years; it is caused by the water in it being heated and then cooled, and being forced up pipes and then rolling back down. There is not much you can do about the hissing, rattling, radiator clanks, and gurgles.
You can replace unsightly radiators with modern baseboard units that are about 12” high, 4” thick, and as long as you want them to be (they are sold in 2- and 4- foot sections).
Presuming that you elect to save your money and spend it on other renovations, you may still have the problem of getting a radiator into any new room you have constructed. It is possible to extend a heating system the same way a plumbing system can be extended -- by adding more pipes that end in more radiators. However, heating systems are carefully designed (even if they are old) and balanced to allow them to operate with equal efficiency in all parts of the house. You could throw that balance off by haphazardly adding two or three more radiators here and there around the house. So even if you plan to install the new radiators yourself, have their locations evaluated by a professional heating engineer before you do any work.
If the rooms you want to heat cannot be sustained by your existing system, you have a couple of options. You might install a space-heating system for the new space. Conceivably, if you have a natural gas system for your cooking and clothes drying, the space heater, which could be recessed in a wall, might be gas-fired. Or you could consider electric baseboard heaters. Electricity provides a clean, maintenance-free heating system that can be installed just about anywhere. But in most parts of the country they cost an arm and a leg to operate.
If you must replace the furnace or the boiler, or both, you are in for $2,000 to $3,000 in expenses, no matter what fuel the unit uses. However, some old furnaces can be converted from one fuel to another at considerably less expense, and there are now a number of heat-saving devices that can be added to different types of furnaces to get a little more efficiency out of an existing system.
Exactly what you need to do with the particular system you have can only be decided when you have specific information in hand. To get that information, call in an expert and by a report from him. IN many communities, the gas company will provide a free inspection and evaluation, not only for an existing gas furnace, but for making the conversion from oil to gas. One of the things you ought to find out from whatever experts you talk to is what the price of gas, compared to oil, will be in the near future. There is no longer a federal ceiling on the price of natural gas. It will very likely be just as expensive as oil in the near future, if it is not already there.
No matter what you decide to do about your heating system, decide to do it before you take on any renovation in the house. It may turn out, for example, that you need to run some more pipes or ducts through the house, and these will have to be hidden in the walls. Obviously, it is less expensive and infinitely easier when some or all of the walls have already been opened or are not yet closed. Contact us today for all your AC repair and heating needs!

Argentina has held the G20 Presidency since 1 December 2017. On 30 November and 1 December 2018, it will host the Leaders’ Summit in Buenos Aires. This event will mark the 10th year since the first Leaders’ Summit took place in 2008 in response to the global financial crisis.
In 2018, the Argentine Presidency has focused on three agenda priorities: education, employment and innovation issues given the future of work in the digital era; the financing of infrastructure projects to support development; and sustainable agriculture and food security.
At this Summit, France will defend a collective approach to key international issues.
Building on the momentum created by the Paris Climate Agreement and stepping up efforts to protect biodiversity. The G20 Summit will take place before the COP24 meeting in Katowice and after the second One Planet Summit in New York. Given the urgency of climate issues, France and its partners will advocate for the G20 to renew its commitment to the environment.
Defending a multilateral trading system that is open, rules-based and fair. This involves two closely linked actions: rejecting protectionism and ensuring that the conditions for fair competition are met and World Trade Organization (WTO) rules are effectively applied. To develop long-term solutions to trade-distorting practices and inappropriate unilateral measures that compromise this goal, the Buenos Aires Summit must result in a roadmap being drawn up for WTO reform.
Fighting terrorism and terrorist financing. This means capitalizing on the results achieved at the G20 Summit in Hamburg in 2017 and the international “No Money for Terror” conference held in Paris on 25 and 26 April 2018, for which a follow-up conference will be held in Australia in 2019.
Making progress on sustainable development issues and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Education, particularly for girls, is one of the French President’s priorities. Another is gender equality, which must be a cross-cutting feature in all of the G20’s work. Development financing and risk prevention in the field of debt distress in least developed countries are also key questions in 2018. Given rising debt levels in poor countries, we need to reinforce the sustainability and transparency of financing granted by public and private creditors.
The «Paris Call 2018 for Trust and Security in Cyberspace», which France will call upon other States to support in order to increase private stakeholders’ responsibilities in terms of security in cyber space.
Following the Buenos Aires Summit, Japan will succeed Argentina in holding the G20 Presidency. The next Summit will be held in Osaka on 28 and 29 June 2019.
In view of France’s Presidency of the G7 in 2019, and the Biarritz summit scheduled to take place from 24 to 26 August 2019, President Macron met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Paris on 17 October 2018. They agreed to work together to coordinate activities in both forums next year.

Why are we waiting for the future to start taking our passions seriously?
Why are we waiting to be with that person we love?

TACURONG CITY — Birds roosting in this city in Sultan Kudarat province have attracted local and foreign birdwatchers who will gather here for a two-day festival showcasing the Baras bird sanctuary, one of the country’s largest nesting sites for egrets and herons.
Emelie Jamorabon, city tourism officer, said bird enthusiasts from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Nepal, Taiwan and Indonesia would join their local counterparts for the 12th Philippine Bird Festival (PBF) and the 4th Tacurong City Bird Festival here, an event supported by the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines and the Department of Tourism in Soccsksargen (South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, General Santos City) region.
Jamorabon said Tacurong was chosen to host this year’s PBF because of the city’s two-hectare bird sanctuary in the village of Baras, about 7 kilometers from the city center. The city is a six-hour drive away from Davao City, and three-hour drive away from either General Santos City or Cotabato City.
The Baras site, which is home to more than 20,000 birds, was declared a bird sanctuary in 2002 by the city government. It is inside a property owned by farmer and bird enthusiast Rey Malana.
Emmanuel Nicolo, executive assistant for external affairs at the mayor’s office, said the event would start with a motorcade featuring bird-inspired floats, street dancing competition, bird costume contest and a dance contest highlighting bird-inspired folk dances like the “Tinikling” and “Itik-itik.” An ecotourism forum will also be held during the festival.
Local officials said the city was expecting 4,000 tourists.
“People can come and commune with nature, learn how to protect the environment while listening to the beautiful melodies of birds,” Malana said.
He said he first noticed birds at his property 15 years ago, when he saw four wild egrets (herons with mainly white plumage) in a tree inside his black pepper plantation.
He thought these were migratory birds and would later leave. “But hours later, the four egrets became six. Then the six became seven, and then there were many of them,” Malana said.
He said his property had several “madre de cacao” (kakawate) trees that acted as trellises for black pepper plants. He noticed bird nests around his farm with bird droppings everywhere, but he did not mind.
Malana said he could not tell why the birds chose to stay in his farm. When he stopped black pepper farming, the birds stayed, making him realize that the birds were not there for the peppercorns.
“Tourists, literally, come face to face with them,” he said, noting that large flocks of birds arrive at the sanctuary during this time of the year.
According to Malana, the best time for birdwatching is about an hour before sunset, when birds return from their daylong food hunting and when nocturnal birds leave.

This is a new excursion for the Mount St Helens Creation Center. The excursion will start from the Center, and we will visit the Quincy Falls, an unusual erratic near Soap Lake, and, of course, the Dry Falls. These interesting features are associated with the devastating events of the Missoula Flood, which we maintain happened as an indirect result of the worldwide Genesis Flood.
We may well place two other muster areas en route, so that other people from North or South East of here can join the party before we reach the area. Our final muster area is likely to be at Vantage, WA, on the banks of the Columbia River.
Please watch for further details, and an itinerary, which will all be published on this page in due course.
The excursion is being led by Ron Payne, who has led excursions to the Dry Falls for many years. Ron is a former Board member and former President of this ministry. we are delighted that he has agreed to do this excursion on our behalf.
If you are interested in joining with us, please contact us at the Center, so that we can determine whether or not the excursion will go ahead. the sooner you can contact us regarding this excursion the better.
If you intend to stay overnight, before driving back, there is a camp site in the Dry Falls State Park, and there are a number of hotels in Coulee City and Soap Lake.
The excursion will end by mid-afternoon, and you should be able to get back to Troutdale by 6:00pm or earlier.
The excursion crosses two toll bridges, with a toll of $2 cash each, so you will need $4 cash for each vehicle.
Morton, WA – parking lot for Morton Country Market, 461 2nd St, Morton, WA 98356. Leaving no later than 9:45am.
The park authorities charge for use of roads in the park – $5 per vehicle, unless you display an inter-agency card. Fee can be paid at Fischers Market in Randle, WA, or using the envelope scheme at Bear Meadow.

One of the most common issues that we deal with in Edinburgh. Damp issues and causes are often misdiagnosed or incorrectly repaired. Traditionally-built buildings can be prone to damp issues if not correctly maintained. The key to correct diagnosis is understanding the building’s construction. For example, traditionally-built buildings rely on the unrestricted movement of moisture. The use of modern building materials and treatments such as cement can restrict this movement of moisture, creating a build-up of excess moisture in the substrate leading to damp issues. If a damp problem is to be properly fixed it is important that the source of the problem is properly identified. Affected areas need to be allowed to dry out completely before any remedial work is undertaken. If the source of ingress leading to increased moisture is not treated, or the problem is incorrectly diagnosed, the original problem will continue to develop, with unnecessary or incorrect repair work causing added problems and further unnecessary costs. In some instances, it may not be possible to overcome climatic or site conditions. This is particularly common on sub-surface walls such as basements etc. We would need to accept the presence of moisture in these walls and look at alternate remedial methods to eliminate internal moisture (such as the construction of an internal partitioning with vapour barriers).
Most damp problems arise through the material failure of the building’s detailing or inappropriate interventions where work has been carried out with the wrong material; the use of cement where a lime based mortar had been used previously is a good example of this. If a new problem emerges there will be a need to carefully consider any work that might have been recently carried out which could have initiated.
Where regular inspection of roofs is not carried out, a small leak from a dislodged slate, tile or lead flashing, or cracked gutter, can remain undetected for some time. This can lead to an increasing build-up of moisture in walls, timber and plaster. Unless the problem is particularly acute this will rarely escalate into creating actual drips, but it will create excellent conditions for rot to flourish leading to progressive decay of structural timber and decorative finishes.
The correct functioning of all forms of rainwater goods both guttering and downpipes are vital. Failure in a single element can allow large volumes of water to pour into walls, this continual soaking of the walls allows moisture to penetrate further into the stonework. Due to Edinburgh’s climate, these walls can have large volumes of water cascading over them on a weekly basis, not allowing the walls to fully dry out. Identifying such failure is most visible during or just after rainfall where these soaked sections are visible. As a result of this, a consistently high moisture content can have associated problems. Timbers that come in direct contact with the stonework can be particularly vulnerable, the saturated stonework creating ideal conditions for wet and dry rot to establish. As the timber decays attacks from beetles and other insects become more likely.
When repairs are carried out, care should always be taken to use correct traditional building materials as modern alternatives are not always suitable. Their inappropriate use often has an adverse effect by inhibiting moisture movement. Poor quality work can also create or contribute to damp problems. Such as water penetration through walls and chimneys, occurring as a result of poor re-pointing, or through inadequately installed lead coverings at roof junctions, particularly on exposed elevations. The situation is often made worse using non-porous surface coatings such as cement render and masonry paint. Any moisture that is absorbed through coating failures such as cracks, inadequate coating coverage or poor workmanship. This moisture is held within the walls, as the coating prevents the moisture from evaporation. This allows the moisture to be drawn into the stonework further through capillary action. With the evaporation taking place internally. This is not only unsightly with the associated health risks large-scale saturation of walls leads to reduced thermal performance increased heating bills.
The current need for greater energy efficiency has led to an increase in the application of different forms of insulation. In addition to installing sealed windows, this is often linked to closing off traditional ventilation grilles and restricting airflow within the structure, resulting in stagnant humid air building up within enclosed spaces. Blocked chimneys, enclosed underfloor voids, and airspaces behind skirtings and panelling, all contributing to poor ventilation. Creating a range of conditions suitable for a number of decay mechanisms to set in. Wood beetle infestation, dry rot and wet rot outbreaks can all occur as a result of the increased moisture levels. External air circulation is equally as important outside. Large shrubs and overhanging trees close to walls can raise the humidity levels considerably. This can then be progressively absorbed by any adjacent structure. This is not to mention the damage to mortar and drainage systems shrubs such as Ivy do.

Iran Briefing – Immediately after the nuclear Iran deal, military commanders and senior officials of the Islamic Republic have declared that the United Nations Security Council resolutions to limit Islamic Republics military power, will not be accepted and such a resolution is invalid. In fact, these statements clearly demonstrate opposition to the nuclear deal as another step of Iranian Revolutionary Guards towards the implementation of the policy of “war”,starting since the negotiations began and continues.
While the Iran’s nuclear program marathonfinally came to the signing an agreement between Iran and 3+3and as a result the Iranian people breathe a sigh of relief of sanctions andeconomic boom, after six days on Monday July 20,the UN Security Council issued a new resolution, voted unanimously to revoke the relevant resolutions, so that the positive impulses of worldalso be sent to Tehran’s confidence,but despite the happiness of the people coming to street at the night after signing the agreement and despite the live broadcast presentation of Barack Obama, US president, from the White House, and Hassan Rohani, Iran’s president, from Pastor, in minutes after signing the agreement, there was not good news from Tehran.
In the first reaction, responding the congratulated letter of the president, the leader of Iran called the agreement as “a written text” and denied to call that an agreement. After that, forEid sermons he declared to the prayers not only “his mistrust” to the parties of the negotiations, but also explicitly stated that the Islamic Republic will not desist supporting Iran’s “Friends”. The Iranian leader emphasized that supporting “Bashar al-Assad” and Palestine (Hamas) and Lebanon (Hezbollah in Lebanon) and Yemen (Houthis militias) will continue.
In continuing these reactions, the MPs (who are often former commander of Iranian Revolutionary Guards) also opposed to the draft resolution. General “Mohammad Ismail Kosari,” a member of National Security Commission and also parliament’s foreign policy, said:” The advantages and disadvantages of the resolution and comprehensive agreement will be determined by Parliament.”Kosari continued: “The parliament will not accept any restrictions on Iran’s missile activities.”He also pointed out that nuclear weapons are not as ballistic missiles and continued:” it is necessary that its section to be corrected.” The other member of the National Security Commission and parliament’s foreign policy, Mohammad Saleh Jokar, pointed to the restrictions imposed on Iranian missile activities “If the other parties in the talks want to ruin the agreement, they could insist on such issues and make sure that Iran will not obey these avarices.” He said.
As mentioned above, the expressed senior army commanders and MPs mentioned opposition, it seems that the balance of power at the pros and cons of the deal, and the results in Iran has been disrupted.Despite the optimism of some analysts, the words of Ali Khamenei cannot be interpreted satisfactory and yet it is not clear after the speech by Mohammad JavadZarif and Ali Akbar Salehion the Iran’s Parliament, what conclusion come to the MPs.
Although the world tried to engage with Iran as a policy of incentives and security guarantees, the warlike Iranian government and the military commanders imitating the Iran’s leader with their opposition act as the Republicans in the US Congress act along with Israel.As a resultthe agreement that was going to improve the general situation of the Iranian people and controlthe Iranian nuclear case, still is threatening by the groups within the government and outside of Iran.

Owning a pet is a big responsibility. Dog owners are responsible for not only the health and safety of their pet but also protecting people from injury. Most dogs will never bite, but it’s important to remember that any dog, regardless of breed or type, can bite under certain circumstances.
Just like humans, dogs are individuals. Every dog has a unique personality. Although a dog’s breed may dictate what the dog looks like, it’s doesn’t guarantee how a dog will react to people or situations. While one dog may curl up in a ball when scared, another may try to bite because she has chosen “fight” rather than “flight.” There are many factors that may result in a dog biting a person, including heredity, health, pain, training, fear, and aggression. Instead of focusing on how a dog may or may not react based on what the dog looks like in appearance, focus on what can be controlled. Educating pet owners and children about dog body language, responsible pet ownership, and safely interacting with all dogs is critical to reducing the risk of dog bites.
In 2017, there were 96,526 children between 0-14 years old who were treated in emergency rooms because of dog bite injuries. Although education about safely interacting with dogs has resulted in a reduction in the overall number of children seen in ERs, one age group has actually increased. According to the CDC, newborns and toddlers (age 0-1 years) are the only age group to have experienced an increase in visits to the ER because of dog bites.
In 2001, there were 1,794 children age 0-1 years of age admitted to emergency rooms as a result of dog bites.
In 2017, there were 3,125 children age 0-1 years of age admitted to emergency rooms as a result of dog bites.
Infants and toddlers often have food or toys around them, make loud noises like crying or squealing, and make sudden movements with their feet and arms. A startled dog, even a family pet, may react negatively by biting. Children should never be left unattended with a dog, not even for a moment. The decision to leave a child alone with a dog could result in serious injury to the child and the dog being put down. As a responsible pet owner and parent, is it worth it?
Pet ownership is a privilege. We are responsible for the health and safety of our pets. Most pet owners wouldn’t dream of intentionally putting their pet in harm’s way, but it happens every single day. You may have a well-behaved, socialized, and trained dog, but unless you have superhuman abilities, you can’t see into the future. Your dog could get startled by a loud noise or meet a dog or person they aren’t comfortable with. Having control of your dog at all times is the only way to reduce the risk of your dog being injured or injuring someone else. The decision to walk your dog off-leash, even if it is just for a moment, could result in injury to a person, resulting in your dog being put down. As a responsible pet owner, is it worth it?
Dogs don’t just bite “out of the blue.” Most bites are a perfect storm of situation and circumstance, but because dogs’ physical and vocal language is misinterpreted or missed, people often put themselves or others at risk and dogs are blamed. Dogs tell us how they feel through in their body language and vocalization. Dog owners need to recognize and respond to changes in your dogs’ body language. Changes in your dog’s eyes, ears, tail, and posture can tell you if your dog is happy, fearful, or angry.
Avoid putting your dog into situations that could result in a fearful, anxious, or aggressive response. If you aren’t sure how your dog will react to a new situation or environment, take it slow. Recognizing body language changes can also give you advance warning to a dog bite.
A loving, responsible pet owner would never want their dog to hurt another person, let alone risk having their dog put down because of a dog bite injury. Dogs should be supervised at all times, just like a toddler. That is why we call them fur kids! Active supervision doesn’t mean putting your dog out in the yard alone or on a chain. It means actually going out into the yard with your dog. Supervising your dog at all times is the safest and most responsible way to keep everyone safe. Do I know how my dog will react to every person or situation? As a responsible pet owner, is it worth it not to supervise my dog around children or other dogs?
The National Dog Bite Prevention Week Coalition consists of organizations committed to reducing the number dog bites through education. Members include State Farm, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.), and American Humane.
State Farm believes that educating dog owners about being responsible will help reduce dog bite injuries. It is also one of the few insurance companies that does not have a breed restriction list and does not exclude homeowner or renter insurance coverage because of the breed of dog owned. The company focuses on educating people and pet professionals about dog body language and safely interacting with dogs by working with two of the most prominent experts in the field of dog training and veterinary medicine: celebrity dog trainer Victoria Stilwell and Fear Free founder Dr. Marty Becker.
The AVMA estimates there are approximately 78 million dogs in U.S. homes, and each year 4.5 million people are bitten or injured by dogs. “Even the gentlest dog can bite if they are in pain, feel threatened, or are competing for resources such as food or space,” said Dr. John de Jong, AVMA President. “Not only is it important to understand how dogs behave, it is important to understand how a dog may interpret our behavior.” AVMA’s “Jimmy the Dog” video series lets preschoolers look at how a dog might interpret different scenarios.
American Humane says that dog bites are a double tragedy affecting both people and animals. “A dog bite can have a devastating effect not only on the victim but also on the dog, who may be euthanized,” said Robin Ganzert, PhD, president and CEO of American Humane. Because of the high risk involving dogs, babies, and children, American Humane offers a free online booklet called Pet Meets Baby that provides families with valuable information on introducing a new child to a home with a dog.
The I.I.I. reports that insurance companies across the country paid nearly $675 million for dog-related injury and bite claims in 2018. The average amount paid per dog bite claim was $39,017.

Paediatric theatre recovery area in RDCEC.
Friends have paid for the refurbishment of the theatre recovery area at the Richard Desmond Children’s Eye Centre in memory of former Director Tony Willoughby.
In July 2015 we reported the sad news of the passing of Tony Willoughby, who was Director and in charge of Friends of Moorfields for more than 11 years, until he retired in 2011.
Tony left the Friends in great shape, with strong, committed volunteers; a large database of Friends; a great staff team and significant unrestricted reserves in the bank, making Moorfields Friends one of the most effective friends’ organisations in the country.
Tony took the time to really get to know people, and taught us the importance of being there and ready and willing to drop things and talk to whoever puts their head around the door. He always ensured that all who offer their time to help the hospital feel that they too are getting something out of the experience. A principle Friends continue to adhere to today.
In recognition of all that Tony meant to Friends, and everything he did for the hospital The Trustees of Friends of Moorfields have decided sponsor a long term memorial in his name. Tony was very involved in fundraising for the building of the Richard Desmond Children’s Eye Centre and Friends have supported the paediatric teams in many ways since it’s opening 10 years ago.
Last year around 1,600 children were admitted to the paediatric day-care ward for eye surgery; the surgical pathway takes them through the anaesthetic room, theatre and to the recovery room where they are joined by their parents before returning to the ward for the final stage of recovery.
Some young patients can be fearful of medical equipment, fearful of separating from their parents and anxious about these strange, impersonal surroundings.
The recovery room is an essential part of the journey from the operating theatre to the ward; this period of recovery from anaesthesia can be one of the most memorable periods during a child’s admission for surgery. For this reason Friends Trustees felt that a suitable tribute to Tony would be paying for the refurbishment of this area with large, wall mounted photographic panels on three of the four recovery room walls and on two mobile screens.

Gábor Bódy, Hungarian form Bódy Gábor, (born Aug. 30, 1946, Budapest, Hung.—died Oct. 24, 1985, Budapest), Hungarian film and video director. His often controversial ideas and methods of filmmaking met with critical success in Hungary and abroad.
In 1971 Bódy took a degree in philosophy from Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest; the title of his thesis was “A film jelentése” (“The Meaning of Film”). From 1971 to 1975 he studied at the Academy of Drama and Film in Budapest. Meanwhile, he made experimental films at the Balázs Béla Studio, a haven for young filmmakers, including the film A harmadik (1971; “The Third One”). His graduation film, Az amerikai anzix (1975; “The Postcard from America”), won several prizes. In 1980 Bódy completed his avant-garde masterpiece, Nárcisz és Psyché (“Narcissus and Psyche”). Based on Hungarian poet Sándor Weöres’s Psyché (1972), an anthology of letters and poems by a fictional 19th-century female poet, the film is full of surrealistic elements, philosophical allusions, and visual experimentation, spanning centuries and shot in a number of different versions. The film attracted worldwide attention. Bódy was one of the founders of the international Infermental group, whose aim was to investigate the new opportunities offered by video art. His last feature film, Kutya éji dala (“Dog’s Night Song”), was completed in 1983. His death in 1985 was officially ruled a suicide.

Day trading Digital 100s allows traders to take a straightforward yes/no position on commonly traded financial markets. It is perhaps little surprise then that these uncomplicated propositions are gaining popularity. This page will break down the four different types of digital 100s, before covering markets, benefits and risks, plus strategy and regulation.
Digital 100s rest on a single statement. If you correctly speculate on a market event taking place, you turn a profit. However, predict the outcome incorrectly and you will lose your initial capital.
Let’s say the digital 100 statement reads ‘Dax 30 to finish up’. If you believe this to be true, you can buy the digital 100. Alternatively, if you think this won’t happen, you can sell.
An attractive feature of trading digital 100s is the certain degree of flexibility. This is because you take a position based on an event taking place within a specific timeframe. However, you can also trade within that timeframe.
So, you could start trading on a one hour digital 100 when there are just 15 minutes left until expiry. You will often find the pre-closed period for digital 100s is between 30 seconds and two minutes preceding expiry. However, this is dependant on both timeframe and instrument.
You will see the price of digital 100s ranges from 0 to 100. This represents the probability the broker believes there is of the event happening. To make that decision, underlying market behaviour will be analysed and the length of time the digital 100 has until it expires, will be taken into account.
Quite simply, the closer the price is to 100, the greater chance the broker believes there is of the event occurring.
Returning to the Dax 30 example above, if the digital 100 statement were true (Dax finished up), the price would settle at 100. However, if it were not true, and it either finishes down or does not move, then your profit will depend on the amount per point you have wagered, as well as the difference between your opening price and the digital 100’s closing price.
Ladder – You must decide whether the settlement price (reference price which decided whether you have won the digital 100) will reach or exceed your chosen strike price (target price against which the digital 100 verdict is decided) when the digital 100 expires. Therefore, you would buy if you think the settlement price will exceed your settlement price. Alternatively, you would sell if you are of the opinion the settlement price will finish below your strike price.
One Touch – Ladders and One Touch digital 100s trading is similar. With the latter, your trade is based on whether you believe the settlement price will hit your strike price before the digital 100 expires. If yes, you would buy. If no, you would sell.
Up/Down – Up/Down digital 100s trading is slightly different. Usually, you will have just the one strike price. This will be the preceding period’s close. You buy and sell based on whether you think the settlement price will finish at or above the last period’s close when the digital 100 expires.
Range – Unlike Ladder and One Touch digital 100s, with Range digital 100s, you must decide whether the settlement price will close within a certain range when the digital 100 expires.
Having said that, what you can day trade Digital 100s on will depend on the broker you go to. However, as popularity for Digital 100s increases, so will the choice of markets.
Day trading on digital 100s is relatively straightforward. You need to follow just a few basic steps below to get setup and start speculating on financial markets.
Choose between the four digital 100s types listed above. Also, choose between the listed expiry options.
Pick a product/market, for example, the GBP/USD currency pair or the Dow Jones index. A useful tip would be to concentrate on a market you have a thorough understanding of. You may also want to consider how readily accessible relevant data is.
Look down the strike list and select a strike price. Do you want to buy or sell?
Enter your trade size. When you do that, consider however much you stake as you could potentially lose all of this. Once you have done that, place your order on whether you think the event will occur (buy) or will not (sell).
You can sit back and monitor your position. You should be able to follow your position by bringing up a chart. Also, you may have the ability to exit or to some extent, reduce your position size before the pre-closeout period.
Timing – Short-term trading on digital 100s allows you to take positions on some of the world’s most influential markets with timeframes starting from as little as five minutes. This is ideal for active intraday traders.
Simplicity – You don’t need to worry about a range of outcomes. You are simply concerned with a yes or no proposition.
Accessibility – You may be able to benefit from the choice of a desktop or mobile-based platform. This could enable you to execute trades when you are on the move or on your way to work.
Risk– Because you know how much you could potentially make or lose before you place your trade, you don’t need to worry about opening yourself up to substantial unknown losses.
Charting – Some traders may worry they will have to sacrifice advanced charting features. However, many providers offer sophisticated and easy-to-use platforms with up to 100 indicators and drawing tools.
Opportunities – You also have the ability to trade when markets are moving sideways. This could mean generating profits during periods of low volatility from less significant market shifts.
Loss potential – Despite the limited risk, in periods of volatility, sharp market swings can still result in significant losses.
Challenging odds – It is important to note the odds are often biased in the favour of the broker. So, an effective strategy will be required to generate consistent profits. Having said that, competition to win customers may improve odds somewhat.
Complex risk prediction – As a result of trading on short timeframes, consistently predicting market moves can prove difficult.
Limited trading tools – Although dependant on the Digital 100s provider, you will often have access to less trading materials and analytical tools when compared to other trading products.
With a number of online day trading scams around, it’s important to check your product is legitimate and properly regulated. There will then be certain rules and regulations the digital 100s provider will need to adhere to.
In the UK, for example, you may want to check the broker is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Although the proposition may be simple, consistently being correct is not always straightforward. So, you will need to develop an intelligent strategy, considering the elements below.
Unlike spread betting and CFDs, you do not need to apply regular, trailing or guaranteed stop losses into your digital 100s trading plan. However, you do need some form of money management system.
One suggestion is not to stake more than a few percent of your account balance on a single trade. This will prevent you losing too much capital in a short space of time. Then when your strategy starts producing consistent results, you can increase your risk parameters.
Whilst some individuals concentrate on trading around news events, technical analysis may also improve your market prediction. So, check your provider offers a charting package with all the chart types and indicators you may want to use. As a result, you should be able to carefully analyse the instrument you are looking to trade.
Below is an example strategy for trading the GBP/USD currency pair. Let’s say you believe the pair will move higher once the US non-farm payrolls announcement is made at 13:30 GMT.
Also, let’s say that at 13:00 there is a one hour digital 100 priced at around 10.8 on the sell side and 17.00 on the buy side, for a strike price of 1.1587500.
You think that by the digital 100 expiry time of 14:00, the price will have hit or exceeded the strike. So, you choose the buy price and fill in your order ticket.
Your trade size has a maximum profit potential of £83.00. This is because profit/loss = (settlement price – purchase price) x size. So, potential maximum profit = (100 – 17.0) x 1.
Your maximum potential loss is £17.00. This is because profit/loss = (settlement price – purchase price) x size. So, potential maximum loss = (0 – 17.0) x 1.
Now if the non-farm payrolls announcement is as you expected, you can monitor the market and collect your £83.00 profits when the expiry time is up.
For further guidance, see our strategy page.
Trading digital 100s offers a straightforward means of speculating on popular financial markets. In addition, it comes with limited risk because you know how much you will lose before you take a position. Having said that, generating consistent profits will still require careful technical analysis and an effective strategy.

Empowering you. Changing casting forever.
Audition Fox is an effort to break new ground in the Indian entertainment industry.
We are revolutionizing the casting / audition process — to streamline the workflow for Casting Directors and to give more control to artists and coordinators.
Audition Fox was born out of our research on the Indian entertainment industry.
As corporate analysts, we were interviewing TV / Film producers — trying to understand how their industry was shifting. Interestingly, most discussions ended up on the subject of casting – and how it was unreasonably time consuming and painful.
Producers couldn’t find actors. Actors couldn’t find jobs. And in the middle of this chaotic circle, projects got delayed. We needed a better way to cast talent.
This problem intrigued us to the extent that we decided to work on the problem full time. After several months of analysis and design, Audition Fox came to life.
Today, Audition Fox is the preferred place for artists and coordinators to find the latest casting calls. We continue to work towards empowering the stakeholders in Indian entertainment — and this is just our first step towards revolutionizing the casting process!
Sainyum Gupta graduated from IIT Bombay (Electrical Engineering, B.Tech., M.Tech.) and completed his MBA at IIM Calcutta in 2009, following which he worked in a leading strategy consulting firm for 4 years.
He's keen to hear any ideas / feedback you may have — feel free to drop him a note at hello@auditionfox.com.

At Lakeview Animal Hospital, we urge all pet owners to keep their pets’ vaccination schedules current. These pet vaccinations provide an extremely cost effective way to prevent some malicious and painful diseases from sickening our beloved pets—or, in some cases, even spreading those diseases to their human family members. Vaccines are a low-risk, high-benefit preventative medicine procedure that only takes a few minutes once a year or even every couple of years, depending on the vaccine.
First of all, it is important to understand that some vaccines are considered necessary, while others will help under certain circumstances. Our veterinarians will review your pet’s individual health and lifestyle factors to ensure that your pet receives only those vaccinations that he or she requires for the best immunity.
For the first six to eight weeks after birth, puppies and kittens enjoy some immunity from their mothers. But after this, they are extremely vulnerable to infection unless they are vaccinated. So starting at this young age, our veterinarians strongly urge pet owners to begin their pets on their initial vaccination schedule. Core vaccines will be administered in stages every three to four weeks, with the final dosage administered between 16-20 weeks.

On Wednesday, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg will sit across from ABC News’ Diane Sawyer in his most high-profile interview since 2008. Sawyer interviews Mark interviewed on 60 Minutes in 2008.
Facebook’s CEO does not give many interviews publicly, and for good reason: he it melted in the headlights at the D8 conference this year. When Zuckerberg agrees to exclusive interview on national television, you know he has something important to say.
What message Zuckerberg want to convey to the American public? and the world?
We expect to use Mark Zuckerberg’s appearance on the national stage to announce that the world’s largest social network has more than 500 million users. This is one of the most significant milestone in the history of company and the timing fits.
Bring Sawyer headquarters Facebook does several things. First humanizes Facebook by posting a determined, intelligent, happy team. Second, Zuckerberg has a chance to throw in a positive light and get into a sympathetic character again. Finally, there is a chance for Zuckerberg to get its message directly to the public, the media and the latest blogosphere.
Of course, there are risks: Sawyer is a researcher with experience, and we doubt that Zuckerberg stalled in the protection of personal information that has affected society. However, familiarity with Zuckerberg, Sawyer (it was he who was interviewed on 60 Minutes) mitigates some of these risks. However, he got the message in his interview of 60 minutes, which was for two years.
While the announcement is likely to be the milestone of half a million users, the core of his message is more likely to be on the utility and connectivity of Facebook, and the positive impact of world change has taken our society. If you’re smart, that will bring the stories of families how Facebook has reconnected and friends, and talk of future plans online. This positive message is what the CEO of Facebook will try to deliver.

Our God is good! All the time!

In 1728, William Byrd headed an expedition sent to determine the true boundary between Virginia and North Carolina. One night late that summer, the party camped upstream from what is now Danville, Byrd was so captured with the beauty of the land, that he eloquently prophesied a future settlement in the vicinity, where people would live “with much comfort and gaiety of Heart.” The river along which he camped was named the “Dan”, for Byrd, supposing himself to be in the land of plenty, felt he had wandered “from Dan to Beersheba”.
The first white settlement (numerous Indian tribes had lived in the area) occurred downstream from Byrd’s campsite in 1792, at a spot along the river shallow enough to allow fording. It was named “Wynne’s Falls,” after the first settler. The village has a “social” reason for its origin, since it was here that pioneering Revolutionary War veterans met once a year to fish and talk over old times.
The outbreak of the War Between the States found Danville a thriving community of some 5,000 people. During those four years of war, the town was transformed into a strategic center of activity. It was a quartermaster’s depot, rail center, hospital station for confederate wounded and a prison camp. Here six tobacco warehouses were converted into prisons, housing at one time more than 5,000 captured Federal soldiers .
Starving and dysentery, plus a smallpox epidemic in 1864, caused the death of 1,314 of these prisoners. Their remains now lie interred in the Danville National Cemetery.
Danville became the Last Capital of the Confederacy within the space of a few days. Jefferson Davis and the temporary Capital moved to the palatial home of Major W. T. Sutherlin. Davis and his cabinet remained there until April 10, 1865. when news of Lee’s surrender forced them to flee southward. On the day of their departure, Governor William Smith arrived from Lynchburg, to establish his headquarters.
On July 22, 1882, six of Danville’s enterprising citizens founded the Riverside Cotton Mills, which today is known the country over as Dan River Inc., the largest single-unit textile mill in the world.
Here occurred he most famous wreck in American rail history. On September 27, 1903, “Old 97.” The Southern Railway’s crack express mail train, was running behind schedule. Its engineer “gave her full throttle,” but the speed of the train caused it to jump the tracks on a high trestle overlooking the valley of the Dan. The engine and five cars plunged into the ravine below, killing nine and injuring seven, but immortalizing the locomotive and its engineer, Steve Broady, in a now well-known song. Marker is located on U.S. 58 between Locust Lane and North Main Street at the train crash site.
