In some cases, short remarks are much better than long and senseless speeches. The battlefield under Gettysburg was such a place, where people were waiting for encouraging words, and Lincoln said just exactly what the audience wanted to hear. His Gettysburg Address is famous not only because of its length but also because of extremely relevant and eloquent words, which Lincoln proclaimed there. The Civil War was not a glorious war as long as it was a fratricidal war. Lincoln understood it, and he did not have to make a solemn or cheerful speech. Therefore, he only said some words of honor to those who died and encouraged his people. This makes the Gettysburg Address special because even after the victory in the hardest war, Lincoln did not express any pomposity or pathos concerning the event.

They say that brevity is the soul of talent. In the case of the Gettysburg Address, laconism was the only appropriate option for Lincoln. He realized that the South is devastated by the Civil War and that his initial target is still not reached. Lincoln knew that although the battle was won, the outcome of the whole war was not decided. The president also understood that the hostility between Southerners and Northerners would not vanish only because the Union Army had won. There was a lot of work to do for him, and in the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln tried to show the most important objective for Americans after the Civil War.

First of all, it was of paramount importance to honor all troops who died on the battlefield for the ideas of freedom and democracy. Many soldiers died from both sides, and it was important to unite all people for the sake of the common target. Lincoln said that “we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain” (Lincoln). He appreciated their deeds and victory, but not as a victory against the enemy, but as a victory against themselves. The president treated the Civil War as a test for the American nation. However, if the Civil War tested the ability of Americans to sacrifice their lives for freedom, then the after-war period was the test of how they can maintain and develop their success.

Lincoln also understood that it is not the time to rest on one’s laurels. Although he reached his initial target and abolished slavery, it did not mean that the United States would become a democratic state. African Americans suffered not only from slavery but also from constant racial discrimination and prejudices. Even obtaining the suffrage and citizenship would not make them the first-class citizens. The same hostile attitude towards blacks was spread even among the Northerners, and no wars could change it, but time and education. That is why, realizing his mission, Lincoln could not feel that his work was done.
Undoubtedly, his famous phrase about government also needs to be discussed. Speaking about the government of the people created by the people to serve them, President Lincoln reminded people of the original intentions of the Founding Fathers. At the same time, Lincoln proclaimed “new birth of democracy”, making it clear that the United States cannot be a slave state and a democratic country simultaneously (Lincoln). His speech should have become a guideline for his followers, but, unfortunately, almost all achievements of the Civil War were diminished by the ineffective Reconstruction and Jim Crow laws.

Production Linked Incentive scheme for promoting domestic manufacturing of medical devices with financial implications of Rs 3,420 crore
The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has approved the following schemes for promotion of the domestic manufacturing of medical devices in country:
- The scheme on promotion of Medical Device Parks for financing common infrastructure facilities in 04 Medical Device Parks with financial implications of Rs 400 crore.
- The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for promoting domestic manufacturing of medical devices with financial implications of Rs 3,420 crore.
Applauding the Govt and thanking the Prime Minister during a video conference Rajiv Nath, Forum Coordinator, AIMED on behalf of the Indian Medical Device Industry said, “We congratulate the Government wholeheartedly for approving the much needed schemes for promotion of the Domestic Manufacturing of Medical Devices in country and thanked the Prime Minister for recognition of the need to have self sufficiency in India in Medical Devices.
Nath appraised the Prime Minister of the steps being taken by DoP, NPPA and DoCA in addressing the accessibility to raw material issues which were holding back manufacturers from fully utilising their production capacities as well as the need for local administration at various states to recognise the need for medical devices to be treated as an essential product and no steps to be taken to hamper movement of men and materials to produce or sell them but instead to facilitate the import of raw materials and components by cargo airfreight if passenger flights were restricted as well as by continuing courier services.
“We are more than hopeful that these schemes announced would help boost local manufacturing and will accelerate medical devices manufacturing as a ‘Make in India’ enabler, make quality healthcare accessible and affordable for common masses, enable placing India among the top five medical devices manufacturing hubs worldwide and help end the 80-90 per cent import dependence forced upon us and an ever increasing import bill of over Rs 38,837 crore,” opined Nath.
Such a visionary move by the Govt will help address Indian National Healthcare security concerns – the inadequacy of which is being exposed in ongoing crisis to address the Coronavirus pandemic preparedness but the domestic industry was rising to the challenge to meet the healthcare needs of the country – whether, masks, gloves, sanitisers, injection syringes or ventilators and oxygen lines.
Nath stated – We further await policy announcement on the below vital issues of Indian Medical Devices Industry:
- Govt must ensure consumers are not hurt by shortages by monitoring of prices at import or at ex factory level and of the MRP and proactive steps taken to regulate prices but not overly so that it leads to further shortages and become non remunerative for manufacturers and traders.
- Need to regulate all Medical Devices under a Patients’ Safety Medical Devices Law separate from drugs to protect patients and aid responsible manufacturing.
- Restriction on import of pre-owned medical equipment.
- While we thank the Govt of deploying 5 per cent cess on some imported devices to encourage employment and Make in India of Medical Devices , to address 70-90 per cent import dependency we seek a predictive nominal tariff protection policy as done for mobile phones to ensure a vibrant domestic industry and competitiveness and price stability driven by competing domestic players
- Need to incentivise quality in healthcare products in public healthcare procurements by preferential pricing for Q1 eg. ICMED (QCI’s Indian Certification for Medical Devices) instead of L1 (lowest price) to ensure patients access acceptable quality.
The Prime Minister was highly concerned about the highly contagious coronavirus infection and has sought cooperation from Pharma Associations – IPA , IDMA , BDMA etc , AIOCD and Medical Devices Association AiMeD during the all India VDO Conference.
With the rapidly growing number of positive infected coronavirus cases in India, one of the major challenge the country is needlessly facing are avoidable shortage of safety masks made worse by anxious civilians hoarding medical supplies though these are not prescribed for healthy individuals and need to educate them .
“Public is panicking and hoarding up masks and other equipment, leaving limited supplies for healthcare professionals who need the gear the most. We are creating an avoidable supply chain diversion from supplies to healthcare workers who are at greater coronavirus risk. Who will protect those who protect us ?” Said Nath.
“We are ramping up capacity utilisation with assistance of Govt to address raw material bottlenecks of alcohol, non woven material and assure availability but appeal to consumers not to buy needlessly and hoard products,” added Nath.
Another critical issue is with demand rising more than 10 times by this individual consumers rush, the country is not only witnessing surge in prices of medical masks and hand sanitiser but the domestic market is now flooded with sub-standard and low-quality products as some retailers and unorganised mask manufacturers are cashing in on the virus terror.
Jagannath S Shinde, President, AiOCD affirmed to the Prime Minister that together with AiMeD Association of Indian Medical Devices Industry we have pledged to not charge beyond MRP and assure the government to work against profiteering and black marketing and hoarding.
“The government has thankfully quickly taken some much needed drastic and bold steps to curb the unethical behaviour in the market, but lot needs to done by all of us – manufacturers, traders and consumers to address the challenge of avoiding shortage of masks for the healthcare professionals and of sanitiser to the consumers and ensure availability at reasonable prices and quality products to jointly fight coronavirus,” concluded Nath.

SINGAPORE (Reuters Life!) - Construction sites are rubbish-strewn inconveniences to most people, but for an environmentally friendly Thai architect, they spell opportunity.
Singh Intrachooto, a university lecturer and author of several books on architecture and the environment, was so appalled by the tonnes of debris generated during the building process that he decided to turn it into award-winning furniture.
“I’ve always focused on green buildings, but one day, when I went to the site of an office block I designed, I could not believe the amount of waste that trucks were hauling away from there every day,” he told Reuters by telephone from Bangkok.
“My inspiration to create furniture sprang from an attempt to reduce the amount of waste from my building sites.”
Singh said that up to 40 percent of the contents of most urban dumps is from construction sites, a statistic which spurred him into trying to “rescue” this rubbish.
“In Thailand, we burn waste, which causes even more damage to the environment,” he said. “The more I saw waste and the more I knew about it, the more I realized I had to do something.”
Singh is one of a handful of furniture designers in Asia, home to some of the world’s best teak wood, who consider the environmental impact of his products.
His pieces are one-of-a-kind because each is made from a unique batch of wood splinters that are sometimes combined with concrete, fiber glass or even juice and milk cartons.
The materials dictate the shape and size of the piece. Even though he did not study furniture design, his works are currently on display in galleries in Los Angeles and Paris. His company, Osisu, sells pieces from its website, www.osisu.com.
“When I started doing furniture some 18 months ago, people thought I was absolutely crazy,” he said. “The construction workers especially thought I was mad because I asked them to set aside the wood, steel and concrete waste for me.”
Singh employs furniture makers to execute his designs, and pieces can take two weeks to craft.
“I work with them in the woodshop. In the initial stages, it was very difficult to convince these experienced craftsmen that you could actually make furniture from waste,” he said.
Most of Singh’s first customers were from the United States, but now Thais and Europeans are taking an interest in his work.
“There’s something really satisfying about making furniture this way,” he said. “I don’t pretend to be completely environmentally friendly, but I do try and spend three to four hours a day at least doing something for the environment.”

SnIRC’s aims are to develop a coherent integrated program of work which will:
- increase awareness of the issues relating to nanoparticles, health and environment
- become the UK centre for information and advice on the potential health, safety and environmental impacts of generic or specifically engineered nano-materials especially nanoparticles and nanotubes
- generate a comprehensive and coherent body of scientific evidence which would help towards developing relevant policies to promote UK nanotechnology growth while safeguarding workplace, public and environmental health
- assist UK industry in developing safe nano-materials
- maintain and promote an international network of researchers and regulators actively involved in the safety of nanomaterials.
- be the organisation for integrating UK research with corresponding US and European efforts
- maintain dialogue with the Research Co-ordination Group led by DEFRA in response to the Royal Society/Royal Academy of Engineering Report
- raise support and funding for these activities.
To realise our aims we envisage a work programme that will:
- Develop, validate and use methods to assess and control personal exposure to nano-materials by inhalation, ingestion and through the skin, via occupational, consumer and environmental routes
- Develop an understanding of the transport and behaviour of nanoparticles and nanotubes in air, water and soil, including their interactions with other chemicals and the potential effects on the eco-system.
- Establish protocols for investigating the long-term fate of nanoparticles in the eco-system.
- Develop internationally agreed in-vivo and in-vitro protocols and models for investigating the routes of exposure, bioaccumulation and toxicology of nanoparticles in humans and non-human organisms
- Undertake fundamental studies of the mechanisms of interaction of internalised nanoparticles with the human body, their ability to translocate between organs, in particular their effects on the respiratory, cardiovascular, immune, and nervous systems, and on the gastrointestinal tract, skin, liver, and kidneys
- Carry out epidemiological investigation of the inter-relations of exposure and the potential impacts on the health outcomes in those industrial and environmental processes.
- Develop and validate approaches for risk assessment and use these approaches to assess and control risk.
The size of the work program and the priorities within it will be highly dependant on the level of funding that can be secured. . We welcome the UK Government commitment to “filling gaps in knowledge through an immediate programme of research aimed at reducing the uncertainties relating to toxicity and exposure pathways for nanoparticulates”, and will actively pursue opportunities arising from this and from other sources.
Information about current and recent SnIRC projects can be found here.
We believe that this initiative will provide the basis for a cohesive multidisciplinary collaborative research programme which will be able to reduce the uncertainties associated with the potential risks of these materials. A successful program will make a major contribution towards protecting health of workers and the public, the environment and in enabling industry to take forward the development of new and beneficial materials.

So many of our day-to-day problems and stressors all boil down to one nasty little word: SHOULD. I should be nicer to my spouse. I should answer my phone when my brother calls. My boss should be more appreciative of me. My husband should take out the trash. My parents should respect my approach to parenting. I am willing to wager that if each of us could cut that nasty word out of our lives and changed nothing else, we would be markedly happier.
Where do these “shoulds” come from?
Is there some universal guidebook out there that dictates how our family members, significant others, or friends should act? Is there some instruction manual that everyone else has but me? How does everyone know how they are supposed to act or what they should do in any given situation? Did someone forget to give me my copy?
The truth is that these shoulds are all just thoughts. There is no requirement that you must answer every call from your family member in order to be a good sister. There is also no requirement that your boss respect you or appreciate you or even give you credit for your work.
Every adult human being on the face of this planet has the absolute right to act any way that they want.
Their “shoulds” probably don’t match your shoulds. They are not going to act how you want them or expect them to act, no matter how hard you try.
Despite this truth, we spend so much time and effort being frustrated and irritated that our husband isn’t taking out the trash or that our friend never answers her phone when we call her. Modern therapists will often tell you that you need to communicate your needs to these people so that they can rise up and satisfy your needs. While I agree that communication is essential for any healthy relationship, I also believe there is something much more nefarious about this approach.
Let’s be honest. The real reason we are so frustrated is because these people are not acting how we want them to act.
And even when we tell them how we want them to act, they don’t do it and then we really get pissed and the relationship tension skyrockets. The problem is that when we tell someone these are my needs and I would like you to satisfy them so that I can be happier with our relationship, we are giving them all of our power. If the theory underlying that request is true, we are all screwed because the only way we can be happy based upon that theory is if the other person does what we ask.
How has that worked out for you?
I’m guessing not very well. Humans don’t want to be controlled or manipulated so that others can feel a certain way and no one should have that much power over your happiness. When we take this approach, we are basically saying The only way I can be happy with our relationship is if you will change your behavior to align with my needs. This sure looks like manipulation’s closely related cousin. We are trying to change others’ behavior; we are trying to control them in order to be happy. That does not seem like a recipe for a healthy relationship.
The only person who can influence and control your happiness is you.
What is really swirling around in the background and driving these relationship disputes are a whole lot of shoulds. He should be more affectionate . . . my boss should be nicer when she gives me feedback . . . she shouldn’t talk down to me . . . He should know the trash needs to go out, etc. These shoulds form a framework, we call a manual. The reason we think all of these things is because we have a manual of how a husband/boss/co-worker/friend is supposed to act. We have all these expectations about how these relationships are supposed to work. What’s more is that we rarely communicate these manuals to the people in our lives.
One of the first things I recommend in order to improve your relationships with other humans in your orbit is to first be aware of all the shoulds passing through your brain. Write them down. Don’t judge yourself for having them – that’s really just another should prancing around: You shouldn’t be so critical/judgmental, whatever. It’s just not productive. Be honest and write down all those expectations and thoughts. Once you have a clear sense of your secret manuals, you can start evaluating whether or not each element of the manual is important to you. Is it really important to you to believe that your husband should send you flowers on your birthday? Why? What are you making it mean when he doesn’t? Are those thoughts valid? Are they serving you and your relationship? Do you like your reasoning?
Now, we are not preparing instructions for a mail-order human here; at this point we just focus on what is really important to us because once we know that we can decide how to communicate that to the people in our lives. That is why it is so critical to evaluate the importance of each element in your manual – if you are too embarrassed to communicate that to the person at issue, then it’s probably not that important.
Now, here is the really critical piece of it . . . if and when you decide to express your “manual” to the other person, that person has the absolute right to choose to meet those expectations or to choose not to meet those standards. That person has no obligation to change to fit into your manual.
As a human, they can choose to act in any way that they want to. Period.
At this point, the work begins: you must accept that this person can choose to disregard your manual and that their choice is their choice and does not mean anything negative about you. You get to choose to be happy about the relationship, even where the other person doesn’t fit your manual. You can choose to think that you spoke your peace and feel resolution in that regard but you must release any and all expectation relating to their actions.
You are responsible for your happiness. Not them.
Most people choose to express their needs and get angry when the other person doesn’t change to satisfy them. That never works out. If you don’t want to live your life experiencing that result over and over again, you must choose to be happy with the relationship as it is and accept the other person for who they are – not what you are desperately trying to mold them into. Think about it. How do you YOU feel when someone tries to get you to act in a way that you don’t want to or when someone tries to make you do something you don’t want to?
These “shoulds” are arbitrary and capricious expectations that we have created with our thoughts and that we can change.
For example, if you think My boss should not need to yell at me in the hallway in front of everyone. You can decide whether your expectations of your boss are important enough for you to discuss with him/her directly. Whether you have the discussion or not, just know that he does not have to change to fit into your model of a “good boss” and he probably won’t. He is acting just as he should – we know because that is how he is acting! He can choose to act in any way that he wants and he doesn’t need to change for your to feel better about your worth or skills.
The reason you feel crappy isn’t because of him yelling at you in the hallway. You feel crappy because of what you are making it mean when he yells at you. Because of what you are thinking about it – I am so embarrassed, everyone is judging me, everyone thinks I’m an idiot, I can’t believe he did that to me, everyone saw and is probably talking about it. Those thoughts are what are making you feel miserable. He can yell at you and you can have completely different thoughts that aren’t going to make you feel like crap – You must be a really sad human to treat other people like that . . . when I leave this firm, I hope you see how this played a role in my decision . . . you are just really stressed about your big client that just left . . . I am good at my job and everyone knows it . . . you are just being dramatic. The point is, you don’t have to make it about you and you don’t have to make it something negative.
If you can clean up your thoughts around other people and stop thinking about how they should be acting, you will stop caring so much about that manual. It won’t matter as much because you will find that there is nothing the other person can do that will impact your happiness – that power rests with you and you alone.
Now, just to be clear, I am not saying that you should just be a doormat and let other people treat you like crap. What I’m saying is that we need to clear all the shoulds and BS from our heads before can we can clearly evaluate a relationship and make a decision about whether we want that relationship in our life. If our discomfort around another human is all being driven by unspoken expectations and manuals, we have some work to do. This work will help you examine what’s really going on without all the drama. What is really going on with this person and why does it bother you so much? It is really that important? What am I gaining from maintaining that manual for this person? Are those expectations serving me and this relationship?
I promise you, the work you will do with the manual and other humans can transform your life and your happiness. Besides, it will absolutely be easier than trying to change everyone around you, right? We all carry manuals for the people in our lives. Work with me and let me break down those shoulds so your relationships can blossom.

Children and Global Gentrification
I recently gave a talk to the newly formed chapter of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Campus Initiative at Knox College. Founded by the United Nations in 1946 to provide aid to Children affected by World War II, UNICEF works in countries across the globe to improve the lives of children through research, health care, access to clean water and sanitation, and emergency relief, to name a few.
Their campus initiatives encourage college students to promote the mission of UNICEF, engage in fundraising, and organize educational panels. Like many clubs and organizations on college campuses, and especially at Knox, there is a component of philanthropy, volunteerism, and community engagement that underlines the work students do with UNICEF. At the same time there is a training component, where students learn how to become civically engaged in projects that they are passionate about.
As we know, neighborhoods, towns, and cities all change. This is due to people deciding they’d like to live in one area or another, to recent developments, or changes in industry. As I mentioned in a previous post, not all population change is gentrification.
Within a gentrification model, existing residents are displaced due to rising rent and property taxes. Current definitions of gentrification acknowledge a social class element (with higher-income residents displacing lower-income residents) and also the targeted efforts by state actors (municipal government) via growth-focused policies, and land-use developers. These actors focus on capital reinvestment in order to redevelop areas to attract higher-income residents.
Often, this means that wealthier people displace poorer people, and diversity is replaced by social and cultural homogeneity. As a result, places begin to look the same–shops, buildings, food– and working-class elements are demonized and/or removed in favor of specific aesthetic designs.
Researchers have found both positive and negative effects of gentrification. It can increase amenities within a neighborhood and social capital for residents. At the same time, it can lead to displacement, the loss of social networks (which would decrease social capital), increase social isolation, and exacerbate the effects of poverty.
So what does this mean at the planetary scale and what does this mean for children in poverty?
In the U.S. we tend to think of gentrification as process that primarily occurs in western wealthy countries. Yet, as research shows, gentrification is evident across the globe in areas from Mexico City to Mumbai to Shanghai to Johannesburg.
According to sociologists Loretta Lees, Hyun Bang Shin, and Ernesto López-Morales's book Planetary Gentrification:
Gentrification at the planetary scale is…an outcome of the interplays between global and local politico-economic forces, intertwined with an array of different institutional arrangement that characterize the currently hyper-connected capitalist world.
Planetary gentrification is closely linked to both global markets and global political arrangements that directly impact people at the local scale. It has therefore become a process that expands unequal power relations and exacerbates social isolation. Gentrification, at the local and the global level, goes hand in hand with poverty.
According to research conducted by the World Bank and UNICEF, 767 million people, or 10.7% of the global population, live on less than $1.90 per day (defined as extreme poverty), and 2.1 billion people live on less than $3.10 per day; 328 million children are living in extreme poverty. For some of us, it may be difficult to understand the impacts of this poverty and its relationship to social isolation.
Areas of concentrated poverty tend to have inadequate infrastructure, high crime, low educational opportunities, and high unemployment. All of this presents challenges for children, including impaired cognitive development, poor physical health, underachievement in school, lowered aspirations, greater likelihood of welfare dependency, and drug or alcohol abuse. These barriers can directly affect life outcomes as kids get older— that’s if they have the opportunity to grow older.
At least 17 million children suffer from severe acute malnutrition around the world. This is the direct cause of death for 1 million children every year. Every single day, 1,000 children under 5 around the world die from illnesses like diarrhea, dysentery, and cholera caused by contaminated water and inadequate sanitation.
When we compare concentrated poverty with outcomes of displaced poor families from gentrifying areas, the picture becomes even more stark: children are prone to increased homelessness, decreased educational opportunities, overcrowding of homes (with families doubling or tripling up in apartments), decreased social mobility, decreased access to nutritious foods, healthcare, and sanitation, and lower life chances.
So what can be done? Gentrification is a form of economic development that focuses on growth. Rather than support policies that solely benefit the most advantaged populations of society, we must consider how to improve the quality of life for everyone.
Globally, solutions include: equitable access to jobs that pay a living wage, quality education, affordable housing, creation of or incentives for mixed-income areas, quality healthcare, clean water and sanitation, and nutritious food, to name a few. Countries must also moving away from policies that solely promote growth, towards ones that improve equitable economic and sustainable development for everyone.

- fresh coriander (optional)
- naan or other flat bread (optional).
Before you start, identify what ‘use-it-up’ ingredients you have. The ideas list we have provided is non-exhaustive – you can use almost anything in a curry provided you are happy with the firmness and texture it will contribute to the meal. For the best way to cut and prepare veggies (e.g. cubed potatoes or carrots in julienne style), simply look up any other curry recipe online which features this ingredient. Ensure any meat ingredients are cut and adequately cooked prior.
1. Add coconut oil to a large sauce pan on medium heat. Peel and finely chop onion, garlic and ginger and add to the pan.
For DIY curry paste option: Add in turmeric and cumin with the onion. Stir and cook for a few minutes until the onion is soft.

2. After your curry has had a few minutes to cook, begin to add in your ‘use-it-up’ ingredients to the pan – keep in mind the general rule that the firmest vegetables should go in first (e.g. carrots, eggplants, potatoes, etc.) followed by broccoli, cauliflower and beans and finishing with your softest ingredients such as mango or tomato. If uncertain, refer to existing curry recipes to get an idea of how much cooking an ingredient requires.

The study of art is the exploration of human feelings, communication, expression, and their history over the ages.
While the term “art history” suggests the topic covers only historic aspects of art, in reality, it examines the entire world and goes back to the origins of humankind, studying not only art but also communication, experimentation and imagination.
What is known today as “Western art” first appeared in Europe and then spread to the United States and Canada. Western art today includes the art of not only countries in Europe, but also Europeans who have emigrated to the United States and Canada and art that has been influenced by the immigrants in these countries.
The history of Western art is a history of movement of people and the rises and falls of civilizations. It starts with the art of the Greeks and the Romans and ends with the modern art of the twenty-first century.
Because of scarcity of evidence and differences in scientific dating methods, art historians often disagree about the specific periods that art eras cover. Yet they all agree on the general definitions of movements and the fact that disagreements about the specific dates of a historical event don’t change the approach to understanding art. What is much more important to note is the cultural and social context in which artists created their art.
Questions such as who created the piece, what was the background of the artist, and what was happening during that period of history are more important than a specific date. Even if a date is known, there are still a lot of ways to decipher and understand the meaning behind a piece of art.

Mabamba Swamp – A Wetland for Bird Watching on Lake Victoria Shorelines
Mabamba Swamp also known as Mabamba Bay Wetlands is a bird watching swamp popularly busy with tours of the Shoebill Stork as well as other bird species. Mabamba Wetland is just one of the many vital birding areas in Uganda. Found west of Entebbe Peninsula across Lake Victoria, the swamp is about 50 kilometres from Kampala City. Well toured on powered canoes through its water ridges, Mabamba Swamp is among the best birding watching spots in Uganda with Shoebill Bird Watching being the key activity.
Occupying an area of 2424 hectares characterized by thick papyrus marshes, water ridges and unique wetland grasses, Mabamba swamp is a Ramsar site as well as an Important Bird Area (IBA). The wetlands is a habitat for around 300 bird species recorded, with seven of the twelve Lake Victoria Basin species found in Uganda available in the swamp. According to recent surveys, recorded bird species in Mabamba Swamp include the indefinable Shoebill stork, the Papyrus Gonolek, Mosque Swallow, the wandering House Sparrow, Weyn’s Weaver, White-shouldered Tit, Sand Martin and the Brown Snake-Eagle.
Others are the Grosbeak Weaver, Eurasian Hobby, Blue-headed Coucal, Fork-tailed Drongo, Flappet Lark, Feral Pigeon, Striped Kingfisher, Long-Crested Eagle, Common Stonechat, Little bee-eater, Common Greenshank, Great Blue Turaco, Whinchat, Grassland Pipit, Grey Wagtail, Northern Brown-throated Weaver, Orange Weaver, Black-headed weaver, Tawny-flanked Prinia, Slender-billed Weaver, Yellow-backed Weaver and the Black Headed Gonolek among others.
More species on the list of Mabamba are Ruppell’s Long-tailed Sterling, Grey-Headed Sparrow, Grey-headed Kingfisher, Spur-winged Lapwing, Yellow Wagtail, African Pied Wagtail, Olivaceous Warbler, Pied Kingfisher, Yellow Billed Stork, Tawny Eagle, Carruther’s Cisticola, Ross’s Turaco, Fan-tailed Widowbird, Yellow-throated Greenbul, Ashy Flycatcher, White-faced Whistling-duck, Rufous-naped Lark, Common Squacco Heron, Slender-billed Gull, Spur-winged Goose, Fulvous Whistling-duck, Long-toed Lapwing, Goliath Heron, White-browed Coucal, African Marsh Harrier and the Violet-backed Starling among the many.
The above mentioned bird species of Mabamba are all spotted on a canoes cruise across the vast wetlands that is watered by Lake Victoria. The birds are best seen morning hours when they trail their prey especially the mud-fish or frogs even though they can be spotted at any time throughout the day.
Accessing Mabamba Swamp
There are various routes visitors can use to reach this prominent destination.
- Entebbe to Mabamba – From Entebbe area, one can use a ferry that operates daily between Nakiwogo and Buwaya Landing sites. From Buwaya, you then proceed with your vehicle to the swamp which is between 15 to 20 kilometers.
- From Kampala or Entebbe, you can go through Nakiwogo-Buwaya landing sites to and from Mabamba to avoid a longer of a marum road.
- Kampala to Mabamba – One can drive from Kampala along Entebbe highway and turn off at Kisubi on a marum road via Sisa, Nakawuka up to Kasanje and turn on left side up to Mabamba.
- You can also drive to Nakiwogo landing site in Entebbe, park your vehicles there and cruise by the boat direct into the swamp, search for a Shoebill plus other birds and return to the mainland.
- If you are coming from Western Uganda, you can turn off on your right along Masaka-Kampala highway at Mpigi and drive via Kasanje up to the swamp.

Yegen Road Closure Coming Friday, September 10th
People living in Lincoln are going to be asked to use an alternative route for northbound Yegen road at the intersection of Lincoln road beginning this Friday, September 10th. Crews will be repairing the road around the airport wetland project. Find out more about the airport wetland project story here.
Now, before you begin to freak out, the entire stretch of Yegen Road will not be closed. According to a phone conversation with the Bismarck City Engineering Department, only a small area between the Lincoln Road intersection north, until you hit Hagen Road will be closed to traffic. You can expect this stretch to be closed until Thursday, September 16th.
The good news is, you will still be able to use Yegen Road at the intersection of Lincoln Road going south and west over to University. That will remain open. Big sigh of relief, as that is how I get to work everyday. Those of you in Lincoln will need to take 66th street to get out of the city if you need to head to a northbound destination for the next week beginning on Friday.
Yegen Road will still be accessible at the intersection of Bismarck Expressway going south until you hit Hagen Avenue. So, only a real small stretch of the road will be closed, and only for a week.
A little bit of inconvenience, but thankfully the road construction season will be winding down soon, before we do it all over again next spring.

Now, Spring is more than a hint. The warming days, the gardening days are here again and this is the month to fully ponder the adage: as you sow, so shall you reap. There is a wide choice of flowers to plant this month and the vegetable possibilities are as vast as your merchants’ seed racks.
The practice of serious gardeners is to raise, when possible, their own seedlings. Create a nursery bed in the garden by running a 40 sand: 40 soil: 20 organic matter mix through a garden sieve. Or recycle polystyrene boxes (making sure they have holes in the bottom) and sand/soil/organic mix.
This is also the month to get serious about crisp, summer lettuce. Easy to grow, but particular in matters of birth and diet, this is the most popular plant of the home gardener. Raise seed in beds or boxes, keeping sheltered and moist. Transplant into a well-drained soil with a healthy proportion (20 per cent) of organic matter dug through. Rake some more into the top layer with a sprinkle of dolomite or lime and all is ready.
For all seedling transplants, watch the weather and most likely, you won’t lose one baby. If the meteorological forces are with you, plant after a late-afternoon shower. And remember, rain or not, late afternoon (unless it’s particularly cold) is best. If there have been a few days of rain, plant when it appears to be abating. Rainwater (in moderate amounts) is the transplants’ friend. And consulting the Moon Planting guide helps, too.
Mulch lettuce with grass clippings or compost and feed with liquid fertiliser every fortnight. Apart from the root and legume varieties, this practice can be applied to most inhabitants of the vegetable garden with good results.
Plantings include: Aubergine (eggplant) *Beans *Beetroot *Capsicum *Carrot *Celery *Chinese cabbage *Choko *Cucumber *Leek *Lettuce *Melon *Okra *Potato *Pumpkin *Radish *Rhubarb crowns *Silverbeet *Spring onion *Squash *Sweet corn *Sweet potato *Tomato *Zucchini
Pop in some passionfruit this month, but beware of their riotous behaviour. Again, use plenty of organic matter, keep up the top dressings, liquid feedings and this wonderful source of vitamin C and fresh daily fruit is yours within 12 months.
Plantings include: Citrus *Nuts *Stone fruit *Vines.
It is said that the sight and smell of fresh flowers will gladden the hardest heart. An extravagant claim, but such is the spirit of Spring. And now is the time to invest energies in a summer spectacular. Unless otherwise specified, choose a warm sunny spot in the garden and plan carefully from the varieties of annuals, biennials and perennials: bedding, border, dwarf, medium and tall plants.
In general, when transplanting seedlings, be conscientious with daily waterings and as with vegetables, pick a late afternoon on a cloudy day.
A featureless corner of the house or garden? Plant now and witness the power of the petunia. These easy-to-grow flowers provide a true celebration of colour. Give them a light soil with plenty of organic matter and a dash of lime. They love sun and once they have flowered, cut them back, give a weak dose of liquid fertiliser and they’ll do it all again.
Plantings include: Alyssum * Snapdragon *Carnation *Chrysanthemum *Dahlia *Gladiolus *Lobelia *Marigold *Mignonette *Nasturtium *Pansy *Petunia *Phlox *Statice * Zinnia.
SHRUBS AND CLIMBERS
Inland and southern gardeners may grow a wider range of roses, but stand back and watch them admire our hibiscus. There are literally hundreds of varieties with single and multiple blooms and a spectrum of colours. The first two weeks in September are ideal for planting out hibiscus.
Sun, shelter and drainage are needed for most trees, shrubs and climbers. If the soil is clay, make life easier for the plant by digging its hole half a metre wider than the root ball. Mix compost and sand with the soil you have removed. Mulch, then water and water some more.

Five Advantages of Regular Tooth-Cleaning Visits
According to the American Dental Association, you should have your teeth cleaned at least twice per year. Some people need checkups more often than this. Despite this recommendation, the ADA reports that almost 1/3 of Americans fail to visit the dentist even once a year. If this is you, learn a little more about the importance of professional tooth cleaning visits.
Brushing Your Teeth
When is the last time you brushed your teeth? Today? Yesterday? Several days ago? If you are like many Americans, you may not be brushing your teeth enough. There have been countless studies done on how often you should brush your teeth and how often people actually do brush their teeth. In many third-world countries, people don’t have the means or the knowledge that they need to brush their teeth. However, most Americans know that brushing your teeth is important somehow.
As mentioned, the American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth at least twice a day. Notice how we said, “at least”. This is a baseline recommendation, as you can brush your teeth more than this, such as after every meal or treat you have. However, you don’t ever want to dip below that twice-a-day guideline. Despite that recommendation, studies show that where young adults (also known as “millennials”) are concerned, at least 3 in 10 only brush their teeth once a day.
The average young adult has gone at least 2 days without brushing their teeth as well. Many don’t visit the dentist due to dental phobias or a distaste to dental products/flavors (about 6 in 10 people). However, visiting the dentist for a tooth cleaning and brushing your teeth on your own are some of the most important habits a person can have if they want a healthy mouth.
Give Yourself a Good Tooth Cleaning
Did you know that there are specific ways you should be brushing your teeth? You don’t simply wet a toothbrush and brush around in your mouth. Use these recommendations when you give yourself a tooth cleaning:
- Toothbrushes will come with bristles with various levels of hardness, so you want to look at the packaging for the word “soft”. Soft-bristled brushes will provide a good tooth cleaning without being too harsh on your tooth enamel.
- Use good toothpaste. A tooth cleaning isn’t complete without toothpaste. Look for ADA-approved toothpaste that is proven to help fight tooth decay. Also use toothpaste that has fluoride in it. Adults should use about a centimeter’s worth of toothpaste on their toothbrush.
- Wet your toothbrush either before or after you add toothpaste to the brush so it can suds up and clean your teeth better.
- As recommended by the ADA, brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes. That’s 1 minute for your bottom teeth and 1 minute for the top teeth. Brush every tooth surface in circular motions as well as side-to-side, making sure to get the top, back and front of every tooth.
- Give yourself a good tooth cleaning at least twice a day, if not more. This is especially important before you go to bed so bacteria doesn’t have all day to decay your teeth.
How a Dentist’s Tooth Cleaning Is Different
When you go to the dentist, your tooth cleaning will be different than what you get at home, which is a great thing. Your dentist and dental hygienist will both do a thorough examination of all your teeth and the soft tissues of the mouth. They will check for signs of oral cancer and gum disease, and will see if you have tooth decay by taking dental x-rays. Using probing tools on each tooth can also detect areas of decay that are sensitive.
A dental hygienist will perform your tooth cleaning and will use a metal tool to scrape particles off your teeth, especially your back molars. They can see things that you can’t and can clean each individual tooth immaculately. A hygienist will remove tartar and plaque from each tooth. Using a slow-speed dental brush, they will brush all your tooth surfaces with professional-grade toothpaste and will polish your teeth afterwards. You will also have every single tooth flossed several times to remove particles, and to find areas of gum disease. After 30-40 minutes of a thorough tooth cleaning, you will receive a fluoride treatment, which will strengthen your teeth against tooth decay.
5 Advantages of Regular Tooth Cleaning Visits
You can never go wrong taking care of your oral health or overall health. Patients only benefit if they take care of themselves. When it comes to tooth cleaning visits, you benefit through:
- A dental professional examining every individual tooth, making sure decay isn’t present.
- A thorough tooth cleaning, where plaque and hard, stuck-on tartar are removed that you can’t get off your teeth at home.
- Proper instructions of how you can give yourself a better tooth cleaning at home. Dentists and hygienists always go over your tooth health and tips for cleaning your teeth better to keep them healthy.
- Avoiding chronic oral health problems such as tooth decay, gum disease and oral cancer, that can damage your overall health as well.
- Saving money. If you brush and floss at home as you should and visit the dentist twice a year, you actually save a ton of money in the long run. How? You will likely avoid all major oral health problems that can only be fixed with expensive, lengthy procedures.
Your Tooth Cleaning
Whether you’re 8 or 80 years old, dental health is important for everyone. Brushing and flossing every day certainly tops the list of ways you can take care of your teeth, but regular cleanings at our office are also vital for good oral health. If you haven’t had your tooth cleaning in some time, make sure to call Dr. Ania’s office at 303-443-0998 to schedule your appointment!

Part 1 of the Princess Pulverizer series.
Princess Serena (or, as she prefers, Princess Pulverizer) doesn't want to be a princess-she wants to be knight! But her father, King Alexander of Empiria, thinks that she still has a lot to learn when it comes to exhibiting valiant behavior. So he presents a challenge: the princess must first go on a Quest of Kindness and perform good deeds to prove that she truly deserves to go to knight school. With the help of a friendly dragon named Dribble and a perpetually terrified knight-in-training named Lucas, can she complete her quest and discover what it truly takes to be a hero?
"In this very funny series kickoff, Krulik tackles sexist double standards and plays with fantasy tropes as the princess attempts to become one of her father's Knights of the Skround Table... giving readers plenty to look forward to in future installments." - Publishers Weekly - Starred Review
"Cheerful opening music sets the tone for this lively adventure… coupled with its superb narration, this makes for a great group listen for families with children ranging in age from preschool through fourth grade." - Booklist

Joseph Pennell's "The Ants" presents a detailed portrayal of the natural world, with a focus on the industrious life of ants. This artwork, more than just a representation of insects, delves into the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, using the minute world of ants as a metaphorical lens to reflect on the broader human experience.
At the core of this piece lies Pennell's unparalleled technique. The artwork likely features finely-drawn lines to depict the ants in their natural habitat. Such precision not only brings out the minute details of the ants and their environment but also emphasizes the intricacy and complexity inherent in even the smallest facets of nature. The color palette may gravitate towards earthy tones, underscoring the raw and authentic beauty of the subject matter.
What sets "The Ants" apart from traditional nature illustrations is its philosophical undertone. While at first glance, it offers a biological depiction, a deeper inspection reveals an exploration of unity, hard work, and collaboration. In the ants' diligent labor and collective synergy, one can find parallels to human endeavors, societal structures, and our intrinsic need for cooperation.
Pennell's intention was likely not just to illustrate ants but to offer viewers a perspective on life itself. By observing the ants' routines, their shared goals, and their harmonious existence, one is prompted to reflect upon similar patterns in human societies. Despite our vast differences in size and complexity, the artwork suggests that humans and ants share fundamental principles of existence, cooperation, and purpose.
Positioning this artwork within a space isn't just about appreciating its visual elements. It provides an opportunity for introspection, for contemplating our place within the broader tapestry of life. "The Ants" serves as a bridge between the natural world and human contemplation, inviting viewers to seek deeper meaning in the everyday.
Joseph Pennell, with this piece, doesn't merely present an art form; he introduces a discourse. The artwork becomes an avenue for philosophical exploration, touching on themes of collaboration, industry, and the interconnectedness of all life forms.
For the discerning viewer, "The Ants" isn't just an artistic representation; it's a lesson. It underscores the universality of certain principles, regardless of scale. Through Pennell's perspective, we're reminded that, like ants, humans are part of a vast, interconnected web, and our actions, no matter how small, ripple through this web in significant ways.
In embracing "The Ants," you align with Pennell's vision of unity and interconnectedness. It serves as a constant reminder of the beauty in details, the strength in unity, and the profound insights that can be gleaned from observing the natural world.
Thus, "The Ants" stands not just as a testament to Pennell's artistic prowess but also as an ode to the lessons we can learn from nature, emphasizing that even in the tiniest creatures, there lies vast wisdom waiting to be unveiled.

Chocolate Covered Pretzel Caramel Brownies
Rich and fudgy Chocolate Covered Pretzel Caramel Brownies with caramel glaze – the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and crunchy.
Brownies – so simple to make yet I don’t make them often enough.
They are one of the few desserts where you don’t need to beat the batter with a mixer or use a double boiler to melt the chocolate.
Just melt everything in one pan, whisk in the rest of the ingredients, scrape into a baking pan, and bake for 25 minutes.
Stir in nuts or chocolate chips. Make them fudgy or cakey. Eat them plain as is or dress them up with a frosting or glaze on top.
I’ve been in a chocolate covered pretzel kind of mood ever since I made my chocolate stout pretzel ice cream.
Then I saw a photo on Instagram that inspired these brownies and knew I had to make them ASAP.
These Chocolate Covered Pretzel Caramel Brownies with a caramel glaze are rich and fudgy with the right combination of sweet, salty, and crunchy.
They were so good, I had to give most of them away before I ate the entire pan myself.
One bite will make you crave a glass of milk, but since I don’t drink milk straight up like that, they also pair well with a cup of coffee.
I wanted to incorporate homemade caramel sauce into the brownies, but my attempt at a caramel swirl on top failed because the caramel disappeared into the batter while baking.
I adjusted the recipe so all you have to do is stir it in.
However, I still wanted you to see the caramel so time for Plan B – drizzling a caramel glaze on top.
Not only does this give a contrast in color and flavor, it also helps keep the pretzels “glued” on top.
The glaze does harden, making it easier to store and transport vs. drizzling messy caramel sauce on top.
Once done baking, immediately top the brownies with chocolate covered pretzels because the heat will melt the pretzels slightly, acting like a glue to stick to the top.
More Brownie Recipes
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into 8 tablespoons
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce (homemade or store bought)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 25 mini chocolate covered pretzels
- 2 tablespoons butter (add pinch of salt if unsalted)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
- In a large saucepan, melt together the butter and unsweetened chocolate. Whisk in the caramel sauce.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in cocoa powder, sugar, salt, vanilla, egg, and flour (batter will be thick and somewhat grainy).
- Spread into the pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until the edges pull away from the sides and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean (you still want a tad bit of chocolate on the toothpick). Immediately top with chocolate covered pretzels in a single layer. Cool completely.
- For the glaze: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and milk until smooth. Boil for 1 minute then remove from the heat.
- Whisk in the vanilla and powdered sugar until smooth and thick. It should be thick enough to pipe. If it's too thin, add more sugar. If it's too thick, add more milk.
- Transfer icing to a sandwich bag and cut off one of the corners. Drizzle over brownies. Let sit until glaze hardens.
