“The challenge with Yemen is this: it is a forgotten emergency.”
Lina Abirafeh is the Executive Director of the Arab Institute for Women. She is an expert in gender issues in emergencies, with 20 years experience working in conflict, post-conflict and natural disaster settings around the world. She’s also an author, researcher, and influential voice in the global gender policy sphere. You can hear more about Lina’s work in her Ted Talk.
At the Women Deliver 2019 Conference, Girls’ Globe’s Ashley Lackovich-Van Gorp had the opportunity to sit down with Lina. She shares her expertise on the situation facing women and girls in Yemen today, explaining that they remain disproportionately vulnerable, despite all of the rhetoric around preventing violence and protecting women.
“We literally don’t put our money where our mouth is, and I think Yemen has been the most stark example of that.”
Ashley asks Lina to explain how senior leaders like herself can ‘pass the power’ to the next generation of activists. Her answer? They already have it.
“I see that power already, what I do is hold up the mirror and show them the power they have. I think they don’t know what they’re capable of, they don’t see it.”
Lina’s voice is strong, clear and inspirational. Her final words are an important reminder to all those who feel passionately human rights and gender equality:
“Everyone has a voice, but not everyone has that microphone.”
Child marriage remains one of the most horrific human rights violations that exists today. It is estimated that globally 14 million girls are married off before the age of 18, robbing them of their childhood and leaving them vulnerable to violence, poverty, domestic slavery, sexual assault and HIV/AIDS. Child marriage is a human rights violation that cuts across countries, cultures, religions and ethnicities.
The recent news coverage of the 8-year-old girl who was married off to a 40-year-old man in Yemen, poignantly highlights the desperate need to outlaw child marriage. After their wedding night, the 8-year-old girl – identified as “Rawan” – died from torn genitals and severe bleeding in the northwest city of Hardh. According to media accounts, the fatal injuries were incurred through sexual intercourse. Let me emphasize that it was NOT sexual intercourse. It was rape and it should be clearly understood as so. Rawan’s tragic story is sadly not unique and millions of girls die every year from injuries incurred from sexual violence.
Furthermore, as a result of child marriage, these girls are at far greater risk of experiencing dangerous complications in pregnancy and childbirth. Yemen has a high maternal mortality rate of 370 deaths per 100,000 live births. Reproductive health studies show that young women face greater risks in pregnancy than older women, including life-threatening obstructed labour due to adolescents’ smaller pelvises. The shortage of prenatal and postnatal healthcare services, especially in Yemen’s rural areas, place girls’ and women’s lives at risk. An overwhelming majority of Yemeni women still deliver at home, often without the assistance of a skilled birth attendant capable of handling childbirth emergencies. Girls who marry young often have insufficient information on family planning or worse, none at all. As young wives they find it difficult to assert themselves against older husbands to negotiate family planning methods.
Human Rights Watch reports that 14% of girls in Yemen are married before age 15, with 82% married before age 18. Child marriage is in fact legal in Yemen; however, in light of the recent cases and international media attention, Yemen Parliamentarians are calling for new laws which ban child marriage, set the minimum age for marriage at 18 ,and implement strategic measures to effectively enact the law. Speaking in an interview with CNN, Hooria Mashhour, Yemen’s human rights minister stated,
Many child marriages take place every year in Yemen. It’s time to end this practice.”
In order to fully eliminate child marriage, awareness raising of the negative impacts of this human rights violation must be conducted. There are a magnitude of elements that contribute to child marriage including lack of awareness and understanding. One father who married off his young daughter spoke to Human Rights Watch and declared that if he knew then what he knows now he would never have married off his daughter.
In many cases, the reality of poverty plays a big role in the decision to marry off a daughter. Here are a few examples of how poverty impacts child marriage:
Marrying a girl child means one less family member to feed, clothe and educate.
The bride’s family receives a hefty dowdy/bride price for a young girl, or in those instances where the bride’s family pays the groom a dowry, they often have to pay less money if the bride is young and uneducated. Sometimes the daughters are actually sold to pay off debts.
Another huge determinant of child marriage is tradition. Child marriage is a traditional practice in many countries and cultures around the world, and breaking tradition can alienate families from the rest of the community. However in the words of Graca Machel, member of The Elders and a major contributor to the founding of Girls Not Brides,
Traditions are made by us – and we can decide to change them. We should be respectful but we must also have the courage to stop harmful practices that impoverish girls, women and their communities.”
One 11 year old Yemeni girl decided to break away from tradition and challenged her own parents when they arranged for her to be married to an older man. Nada al-Ahdal caught the attention of the world when she uploaded a three minute video on YouTube after she escaped from your family and took refuge at her uncle’s house.
The world needs more Nada al-Ahdal’s but can we really leave eight, nine, ten, and eleven-year-olds to defend themselves? Nada is one of the rare and lucky girls’ who successfully avoided child marriage but there are millions who are not so lucky. Hence, we need to make a change and advocate for child marriage to be fully outlawed and recognised as a human rights violation. Thousands of NGOs, human rights defenders, women and girls have been advocating to end child marriage for years and, although change will not come over night, we must keep on and remember the Rawan’s of the world.
Approximately 14 million girls under the age of 18 are married each year. According to the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), if present trends continue, 142 million girls will be married over the next decade. These facts and statistics are staggering. In a recent post, I highlighted the gross injustice and harmful effects that girls suffer as a result of this traditional practice.
Comprehending the issue of child marriage is overwhelming. The good news is:
The world is waking up to this injustice.
News stories, articles, television interviews and social media feeds have been flooded with one outcry:
Stop Child Marriage.
A recent change in Nigeria’s constitution, concerning the minimum age of marriage, has spurred on weeks of protests and controversy across the country. The Nigerian Feminist Forum responded immediately with a press release to explain the situation. On July 16, Nigerian Senators met to review a portion of the Constitution. An initial vote was cast to delete a portion of the Constitution which stated “any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age.” Senator Ahmed Yerima challenged the deletion and voted to keep the controversial clause.
It is important to note that the clause in the Constitution does not legalize child marriage. However, many activists are concerned that the clause legitimizes the traditional practice. According to the Population Council, 73% of girls in Nigeria are married before the age of 18.
In response to the Nigerian Senate’s decision, social media activists have launched the #ChildNotBride campaign and have captured the attention of millions. Activists, women and children are making a declaration, protesting online through social media as well as in the streets of Nigeria. Since the change in Nigeria’s Constitution, a petition to the United Nations in opposition of child marriage in Nigeria has spread rapidly.
In the United States, advocacy groups are calling for stronger relationships with governments and the private sector to better prevent child marriage and its consequences.
Nada al-Ahdal, an 11 year old Yemeni girl, has brought the issue of child marriage to the media forefront. In Yemen, 47% of girls are married before the age of 18. Nada’s recent Youtube video went viral, receiving 7 million views on Youtube over three days.
Nada argues against child marriage, insisting that she would rather die than be a child bride. The video is a public declaration in which Nada directly opposes her family’s wishes to marry her to an older man.
Fox News recently interviewed Ann Warner, Senior Gender Advisor for the ICRW. The world must overcome several challenges to end child marriage. As highlighted in the video interview, poverty and gender inequality are significant factors that lead to child marriage. Many families believe that they are protecting their daughters through early marriage.
The question still remains:
What will it take to end child marriage?
Global awareness is a good start. Now more than ever before, global citizens are becoming aware and taking action to prevent child marriage. On Tuesday, Girls Not Brides released a technical briefing on child marriage. This report highlights the necessary steps that must be addressed in order to bring an end to child marriage.
At Girls’ Globe, we believe promoting, enhancing, and expanding universal access to education and empowering youth advocates are essential components in the fight to prevent child marriage. We’ve done our part. Now it’s your turn. Spread the word about the consequences of child marriage and sign the petition to show your support.
Tomorrow is the day of the Nobel Prize, and therefore Girls’ Globe would like to acknowledge the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates who have been struggling to create change in their communities and to empower women to be agents of change for peace, democracy and human rights.
These women inspire us
to accept differences in each other, to meet people with harmony, to see the good in everyone and to be the change we want to see in our world. They inspire us with their dreams, their accomplishments, their goals and their struggle. Let us join these women in celebration and let us become global citizens and be a voice for women, peace, security and human rights.
The interviews below are taken from Nobel Peace Center, and hopefully, they can inspire you as well.

On the clock : the story of the NFL draft
|Format:||Print Book 2015|
|Availability:||Available at 3 Libraries 3 of 3 copies|
The NFL draft features no action on the field. No passing, running, tackling, or kicking. Hey, there isn't even a field. Yet the draft has become more popular than many other sporting events, including the NBA and NHL playoff games, against which it goes head-to-head for viewers. In fact, the draft has spawned its own cottage industry in which names such as Gil Brandt, Mel Kiper Jr., and Mike Mayock have become as well known as any of the first-round selections. In On the Clock, Barry Wilner and Ken Rappoport chronicle the history of the proceedings. The veteran sportswriters take you from the first grab bag in 1936, when Philadelphia chose Heisman Trophy winner Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago only for him to decline to play in the NFL, to the 2014 draft considered one of the deepest in talent ever. Along the 78-year journey, learn about the competitions for the top overall spot (Peyton Manning vs. Ryan Leaf), the unhappy No. 1s (John Elway and Tom Cousineau), the big flops (JaMarcus Russell), and the late-rounders-turned-superstars (Tom Brady). Meet the draft wizards, from Paul Brown to Bill Walsh and Jimmy Johnson, and read about the draft whiffs that cost personnel executives their jobs. On the Clock takes you behind the scenes at one of pro football s most suspenseful annual events."

Mandatory SIM registration is in line with international best practice – Communications regulator
The Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (CRAN) on Tuesday, 07 June 2022 officially launched the National SIM Registration Consumer Awareness Campaign, which aims to educate the public on the importance of the registration of SIM cards in Namibia.
The campaign will run from 7 June 2022 until 31 December 2022.
The registration process will be carried out in terms of Regulations and License Conditions made under Part 6 of Chapter V of the Communications Act (No. 8 of 2009).
“Mandatory SIM registration is in line with international best practice, with 157 countries in the world currently implementing SIM registration. Namibia is one of two African countries that does not have SIM registration and we are, therefore, delighted to finally reach this milestone,” said CRAN Chief Executive Officer, Emilia Nghikembua
Nghikembua said the six-month-long awareness campaign follows consultation between CRAN and all relevant stakeholders.
The campaign aims to raise awareness and inform the public that as of 01 January 2023, mobile operators will be required to register all their customers’ SIM cards and obtain all relevant information before the sale and activation of SIM cards.
“Operators will have a period of 12 months to conclude the registration of existing customers. The information of new customers must be registered within 3 months from the date of sale. Unregistered SIM cards will be deactivated,” she added.
“The use of mobile phones delivers significant economic and social benefits and plays a key role in enabling digital inclusion and delivering social benefits. There are, however some members of the public who use mobile phones for criminal activities. Through the registration of all active SIM cards, security agencies will be able to track criminals after following the procedures as set out in the applicable laws,” explained Nghikembua.
“We are positive that CRAN’s National SIM Registration Consumer Awareness Campaign shall educate the public on the importance of SIM card registration and debunk misinformation. We invite the public to join and participate in our panel discussions, nationwide roadshow, social media, visual prints, radio, audio-visual and via email enquiries and other activation components during the campaign,” concluded Nghikembua.

(TBTCO) - Vietnam ratified the 1972 Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage on October 19, 1987. Ever since, eight sites in Vietnam have been recognised as cultural and natural world heritage.
Export-import turnover up 14.8% in first seven months
(TBTCO) - Vietnam’s export-import turnover hit 431.94 billion USD in the first seven months of the year, posting a year-on-year rise of 14.8%. The country enjoyed a trade surplus of about 764 million USD in the period.
Viet Nam is among seven countries that stand out in a world tipping towards recession and higher inflation, according to the London-based Financial Times.
As many as 112,791 firms were established over the last nine months of 2022, a year-on-year increase of 31.9 percent, announced the Ministry of Planning and Investment.
(TBTCO) - Vietnam earned 85.9 points in the Vietnam E-commerce Index 2022 Report, maintaining the second place in the nationwide rankings.
Vietnam’s economy is expected to grow by 7.2% in 2022, on the back of a strong rebound in domestic demand and continued solid performance by export-oriented manufacturing, according to the World Bank East Asia and Pacific Economic Update, October 2022.
Up to 78.3 percent of companies expected economic growth at 5-6.5 percent and 73.9 percent of respondents were moderately optimistic about profit prospects this year, according to Viet Nam Report.
Economists have forecast Vietnam’s inflation will be kept at around 3.3-3.8% this year, similar to the National Assembly-set target of below 4%, adding that the pressure for 2023, however, remains huge and requiré appropriate response solutions.

- Non-advised savers in non-workplace pensions, such as SIPPs, will be offered a single default investment option under reforms confirmed by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) today (PS22/15: Improving outcomes in non-workplace pensions – feedback on CP21/32 and our final rules and guidance (fca.org.uk))
- The FCA has backed away from plans to mandate these default funds incorporate ‘lifestyling’, whereby investments are automatically shifted into lower-risk investments ahead of an assumed retirement date
- Cash warnings will also need to be issued to pension customers with “significant and sustained” cash holdings in their portfolio
- Regular cash warnings will need to be given where:
- More than 25% of the person’s pension is held in cash or cash-like investments
- The amount of the cash holding is greater than £1,000
- The saver is more than five years away from being able to access their pension pot
- These reforms will be introduced for non-workplace pension customers in 12-months’ time
Tom Selby, head of retirement policy at AJ Bell, comments:
“With inflation in the UK now topping 11% and expected to stay high well into 2023, ensuring savers with a long-term time horizon invest their money sensibly – in part to combat the deleterious impact of rising prices – is of paramount importance.
“While non-advised customers who choose to invest in a non-workplace pension are more likely to be engaged than people who are automatically enrolled into a workplace pension, there remains a risk some will either subsequently become disengaged or struggle to make good choices about where to invest their pension.
“Making investment choices simpler and providing nudges where potentially poor decisions are being made could therefore lead to more people having bigger retirement pots.
“Having a simple default fund solution could be a useful part of the non-workplace infrastructure, but it was important firms were given flexibility to design such a solution to meet the needs of their customers.
“It is therefore welcome that the FCA has acknowledged this in its policy statement and backed down from proposals to essentially mandate ‘lifestyling’ in these default strategies.
“We have seen recently how supposed ‘de-risking’ strategies can lead to terrible outcomes for pension savers, with those in lifestyling funds trending towards annuity purchase wearing huge losses in 2022 as bond prices have tanked.
“The idea of lifestyling towards a set retirement date simply doesn’t work for those who aren’t planning to buy an annuity, because most people access their pensions flexibly at different ages and in different ways. Ultimately, taking a flexible income through drawdown requires engagement.
“For SIPP customers, it makes much more sense to use communications tools to encourage people to think about their investment strategy as they move from the saving for retirement phase to taking an income from their pension. It is positive, particularly with the Consumer Duty being introduced, that the regulator has acknowledged the importance of giving firms the freedom to design suitable products for their customers.”
“We agree with the intention behind the FCA’s plans to require communications to be sent to non-workplace pension savers who hold large chunks of cash for long periods of time. Holding too much of your pension in cash can lead to disastrous outcomes, particularly over the long-term.
“Take someone who has a £50,000 fund invested in cash paying 0% interest over 20 years. If inflation runs at 2% a year over that period – the Bank of England’s official target and well below what we are seeing at the moment – in ‘real’ terms it will be worth just over £33,000.
“To put that another way, the corrosive power of inflation will have reduced the value of their pension by over a third.
“While we would have preferred a less prescriptive approach than that put forward by the FCA today, we look forward to working with the regulator to ensure implementation is as smooth as possible in what is a challenging timescale.”
Steven Cameron, Pensions Director at Aegon, comments:
“In current times of record high inflation, holding cash over any longer time-period will lead to a loss of value in real terms. We support the new requirements for firms to send additional communications to customers who have more than 25% of their funds in cash for 6 months or more. However, these need to be balanced with an explanation of when cash holdings may serve a purpose and also that investing isn’t risk free. They also need to be responsive to future patterns in cash saving interest rates and inflation.
“The rules will require firms to provide generic illustrations of how much a £10,000 investment will lose in value over 10 years. The rules require this to be based on a 0% interest and on the ruling rate of Consumer Price Inflation. With the Office for Budget Responsibility predicting a sharp fall in inflation in coming years, basing a 10 year projection on current historic highs could be very misleading. Similarly, using a 0% interest rate when cash savings rates have risen and are expected to continue to do so again seems overly pessimistic. Furthermore, the OBR expects inflation to be negative in some future years, which would mean even with 0% interest, cash savings would grow in real value. This raises major questions over what a warning about the ‘dangers’ of inflation for cash savers would look like then.
“The FCA has left it for each firm to decide if based on market conditions they believe it is ‘the wrong time’ to issue a cash warning. This will be very challenging at a time when few can predict where markets will move next. Deferring a communication for 3 months might benefit some customers if they then didn’t move out of cash before a market fall. But if markets actually rose, deferring investing could mean some customers lose out, leaving providers open to being judged with the benefit of hindsight.”

Barby - Derech Kibuts Galuyot 52, Tel Aviv, 65 NIS
This realization is a big word – and yet to launch this album we found no word that is more suited to the feeling.
After three albums (when at first the little settlement had little to do except “Spirit”) we come to Barby to launch a fourth album recorded all over the world and full of cooperation and tastes of journey – friendship – development, and perhaps maturing 🙂
** We are excited to introduce for the first time
The album “FLIGHT MODE” – the fourth album that is entirely available thanks to your support and love – thanks to an amazing campaign that gave us the ability to fulfill that dream from the small community in the desert – only on a larger scale – with many other professionals – bananas and monkeys!


The former pastor of a church in Prior Lake pleaded guilty Wednesday in Ramsey County District Court to soliciting a prostituted woman.
The Rev. John K. Erbele, 35, was one of 16 men caught in a "john sting" on Sept. 1 after responding to an Internet ad placed by the St. Paul police.
Erbele won't have to serve any jail time for the misdemeanor offense. District Judge Gail Chang Bohr sentenced him to serve probation, get counseling, do community service and attend "john school."
Erbele was pastor of LifePrint Church, which meets in Prior Lake and offers podcasts of sermons on the Internet. He was relieved of his duties in September but kept on the payroll until the end of November, the church's website said.

Yeah, I just wish the future was now.

Hmm... good point. They did just pick up the publishing rights to No More Heroes. But this Ubisoft lineup is for games released the beginning of 3rd quarter 2007 up until the end of the year and I think No More Heroes is coming out 1st quarter 2008.

The Mustard Wharf site – acquired from U+I in partnership with CTP – has permission for 250 homes and 8,640 sq ft of commercial and amenity space.
L&G expects to be able to begin construction on the £60m scheme in early 2018, with practical completion scheduled for early 2020.
“In our view, Mustard Wharf is the ideal location for a BTR scheme in Leeds,” said Dan Batterton, BTR fund manager at LGIM Real Assets.

This latest investment brings L&G’s total BTR pipeline to over 1,400 units, with an expected gross development value of £420m across the portfolio.
L&G now has circa £1bn of total investment capability for its BTR project, having raised capital from major pension funds for an open-ended BTR fund, as well as a £600m joint venture investment by Legal & General Capital and PGGM.
Its first scheme in Salford is due to welcome its first residents at the start of June.
“This latest acquisition supports our vision of investing in long-term sustainable urban schemes that support wider urban regeneration to transform and reshape Britain’s landscape, bringing jobs and housing back into the centre of cities and better utilising our existing infrastructure,” added James Lidgate, director of housing at L&G Capital.
“When complete, Mustard Wharf will provide well-connected, high-quality housing which is essential for supporting the UK’s economic position and driving future growth.”

AN INTERVIEW WITH FRÉDÉRIC VIGER AKA ALAN SHEARER ABOUT HIS PROCESS ON DARK IS THE COLOR
Favorite Recordings presents Dark Is The Color, the first LP by Alan Shearer reissued on vinyl for the first time.
Despite being initially composed and produced for the French library label PSI, this rare and obscure in-demand gem from 1985 sounds retrospectively like a proper album with great coherence and sophistication all along.
Indeed, these 11 tracks will delight synthesizers addicts. Expect deeply emotive instrumental compositions, with ingenious analogue sequencing on stimulating chord progressions.
The result is a highly retrofuturistic album, sometimes almost anticipating 90’s videogames scores. Just imagine Wally Badarou in a bunker with Talking Heads watching New York 1997 from John Carpenter.
Fully remastered and available on April 8th 2022 as Vinyl LP with Insert & Digital.
HI, FRÉDÉRIC VIGER AKA ALAN SHEARER, CAN YOU TELL US HOW YOUR ALBUM DARK IS THE COLOR HAS BEEN CREATED?
I was working for the music label of my father called Musique Pour L’image as well as its sub-label PSI. Both have been later bought by Kapagama.The first record I produced for the label was Marathon Life, still under my real name. Dark Is The Color is the first produced with my producer alias Alan Shearer.
WHAT WAS THE CONCEPT OF THE “LIBRARY” MUSIC?
These records were produced for radio, TV and cinema industries but as well for companies that used them in their internal communication.
Back in the days, the records were sent for free to these users. If they were including the track in one of their projects, they had to pay a certain fee. This was based on declarations and of course on a certain trust. This was not a subscription.
Of course, almost all uses of these videos were kind of private so we did not have any feedback on these videos. It was a real investment from the label and the catalogues are full of amazing music from great artists.
WHAT WERE YOUR INFLUENCES FOR DARK IS THE COLOR?
The idea was every time to be inspired by contemporary trends or sounds. In this case, the influences were coming from US bands like Talking Heads or UK bands like Japan.
I was around 23 years old at this time and of course, I was influenced by this new sound built around synthesizers.
AND YOU WERE SURROUNDED BY SOME OF THE MOST FAMOUS PRODUCERS OF THE FRENCH LIBRARY SCENE AS MARTIAL SOLAL, VLADIMIR COSMA OR DANIEL JANIN …
Exactly, this was particularly interesting to be surrounded by these composers and work with them. I was focused on synthesizers: this was the beginning of new styles with new sounds produced on new machines. This was all very interesting.
“people always told me music should not be noticed for itself in a movie, that’s what makes it good”
WHAT WAS THE GEAR USED ON THE ALBUM?
I still did not use the DX7 from Yamaha. In fact, I mostly remember of my Sequential Pro-One, triggered step-by-step. MIDI was just at its beginning and I think I used this technology on my second album but not this one. You had to enter every note and then play the sequence back through various synths.
Everything was recorded in my home studio on an 8-tracks which was great. Before that, I had a stereo Revox on which I had to permanently bounce audio tracks from one channel to the other.
I don’t recall precisely what was the drum machine but I remember Teddy Lasry lent me a black drum machine I used on the album. Teddy was an amazing multi-instrumentist playing in Magma. He also lent me a few synths.
Also, another composer lent me some hardware, Joël Fajerman. He was selling synths in Pigalle’s neighborhood in Paris and had also released music on my father’s label.
On top of this, I surely used some of the nice machines from the era like the new Prophet 5 or the classic MiniMoog.
TRACKS FROM THE ALBUM ARE COMPOSED WITH REAL TALENT AND ARTISTIC DIRECTION. DID YOU HAVE SOME SORT OF MUSICAL EDUCATION AT MUSIC SCHOOL?
Not even if I had piano lessons from the age of 7. Still today I don’t consider myself as a “good” pianist even if I can surely write sheet music.
HOW DID IT GO AFTER THIS FIRST ALBUM?
I was brought to other projects and I did also work on other labels in Germany. Some tracks from the album were indeed rearrangements from me with compositions from Conti Eckert or Michael Axton. But I was also working as an editor in the French cinema & TV industry, which I only stopped recently in 2016.
FROM THE BEGINNING, YOU WERE LINKED TO THE CINEMA…
Yes, and it surely influenced my music. A movie that really inspired me for this album was the soundtrack of New York 1997 by John Carpenter.
Soundtracks are indeed my biggest influences and I’m a real fan of American composers as Jerry Goldsmith or Elmer Bernstein. I’ve always considered soundtracks as the new classical music or classical music of our century. There is a real state of mind producing music for illustration: you have to stick to the video. You should not tell what the image is saying but accompany what it is saying. You have to find a unique link, people always told me music should not be noticed for itself in a movie, that’s what makes it good.

Why is Moisturizing so very Important?
About 75% of people don’t like to moisturize their skin because of the ridiculous sticky, clingy moisturizer experience. However, moisturization is the backbone of the daily skincare routine.
A daily moisturizing routine plays a vital role in strengthening the skin barrier function. Studies in the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, demonstrate that moisturization is an important first-line therapeutic option for atopic dermatitis and other dry skin conditions.
In winter especially, people with dry skin suffer the most. Nobody likes cracked-snakes like skin. If you are also the one suffering from dry skin issues, you might need to start moisturizing.
Moisturization is not just for people with dry skin; instead, it’s crucial for all skin types. Our skin needs constant care from breakouts. Moisturized skin is less likely to get acne and oil as compared to bare oily skin.
Reasons Why You Should Moisturize?
Before we proceed, you must know why your skin needs daily moisturization. When your skin dries out, many skin issues pop up. Our skin reacts in a way that increases oil production, acne, and redness in an overreactive way. Now, serums may not be sufficient in treating your skin.
Dr. Heidi Waldorf once said that moisturization leads to minimum dryness and causes less oil production.
Moisturization makes the skin produce less oil naturally.
It helps develop a proper lipid bilayer in the skin’s epidermis to hold enough water, hydrating skin.
Moisturization prevents acne, infections, and premature aging. Moreover, moisturization heals blemishes and gives the skin a youthful glow and smoothness.
How does Moisturization Work?
The main function of moisturization is to hold the water in the skin. There are two components in moisturizers responsible for holding water within the skin.
Humectants include Urea, Alpha-Hydroxy acids (AHAs), and glycerin. These ingredients in the moisturizers work by absorbing environmental water from the air in the skin. Hence, helps in hydration.
Emollients include lanolin, mineral oils, and AHAs (lactic acid and glycogen). Emollients help in reducing itching and preventing infections. They also give skin a smooth texture by holding water in the top layer of skin.
While choosing a moisturizer, look for these ingredients. Not only that, cleansers, soaps, body washes must contain humectants and emollients within them.
Right Times for Moisturization
You must moisturize at least twice every 24 hours. However, moisturization after shaving, exfoliating, after bath, and after any skincare treatment is crucial.
Moisturization after bath is important because hot water extracts all the oil and water out of your skin. Due to which you feel dry after bathing; hence moisturization is necessary.
Moisturization in Daytime
Moisturization right after washing face in the morning would help your skin to feel relaxed and ready for the long day. Apply the moisturizer on damp skin as this will help in locking the water in the skin. Choose a moisturizer with AHAs, humectants, and emollients.
Elemis Peptide4 Adaptive Day Cream would be the best option among all. It is formulated with the optimal amount of AHAs and emollients; hence provides; moisturization, nourishment, and hydration. It also provides proper blood circulation, youthful glow, and smooth skin texture.
It is suitable for all skin types, men and women.
- Take a small amount of it or according to your face demand.
- Apply all over your face, neck, and cleavage.
Moisturization in Nighttime
Application of a super-hydrating and cooling moisturizer before bed can help you calm in snow-white sleep. At night, skin is in its repairing mode. It sheds off old cells and repairs new collagen-rich cells.
A layer of soothing moisturizer over your skin can take advantage of this mechanism. Moisturizer will help your skin in the production of new cells and lipid bilayers.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix would be the best option. It is formulated with lactic and Glycolic acids. Both these acids help in the making of collagen cells. Collagen formation helps the skin’s inbuilt protection mechanism and prevents infections and dryness.
You can use this product at night before going to bed. It is suitable for both men and women.
- Primarily, cleanse your skin with a good cleanser.
- Then, take a pea-sized amount of this cream and apply it to your face, neck, and cleavage.
- Rub it gently, with upward motions, until it is absorbed.
Borage oil and Avocado Moisturizer
If you are looking for a long-lasting moisturizer for your acne-prone skin, then borage seed oil and avocado moisturizers are the best.
Borage seed and avocado have anti-inflammatory properties. Moisturizers with these ingredients promote the health of the skin barrier. They help in hydration and wound healing as well. Moreover, avocado gives the skin a refreshing and soothing effect with a young look.
Liz Earle Skin Repair Gel Cream is the best borage seed oil and avocado moisturizer. It has a soothing gel-cream texture. Most importantly, it offers 72 hours of hydration to the skin. Moreover, it provides a cooling effect to the skin hence reducing itching.
- Take a small amount of the cream.
- Tap it on the face with the help of your fingertips.
- Let it absorb.
When Should You Stop Moisturizing?
Overusing a moisturizer won’t cause any harm to your skin. However, if you see excessive dryness even after using moisturizer, you may need to concern your dermatologist.
Excessive dryness cause break-outs, fine lines, and often permanent wrinkles. It can lead to many severe dryness diseases too. Make an appointment with your doctor. The dermatologist can examine your skin and tell you the exact reason for dryness and irritation.
Bottomline- What Should You Be Doing?
Here are some quick to get facts about moistures;
- Never forget to moisturize after bathing and swimming.
- If you have any specific skin disease, make sure to ask your dermatologist before buying any skincare product.
- Always pat dry, don’t rub-dry your kin.
- All skin types need moisturization.
- Don’t change your moisturizer every new season because your skin gets addicted to the previous one. Changing a moisturizer can cause the skin to react ridiculously.

Reviews for Ryzen 3000 desktop CPUs have started to pour in as the CPUs are now available in the market. These AMD CPUs offer performance gains not only compared to previous Ryzen CPUs but, also on latest Intel CPUs including the Core i9-9900K. Despite the performance leap, Ryzen 3000 CPUs, for some reason, aren’t running Destiny 2.
This means that CPUs like Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 7 3950X, despite having increased core/thread count compared to Intel, aren’t able to run Destiny 2.
Players report that as they launch the game, it just shows up briefly in the Task Manager and then just vanishes. Also, the issue isn’t just with one or two CPUs from the line-up but is consistent with all AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs.
Most of the Ryzen CPUs would have probably been bought by gamers. It’s ironic that many of them aren’t currently able to play their favorite game.
This doesn’t mean the CPUs are faulty, it’s probably just a matter of compatibility. Hopefully, this will be fixed with a patch. Also, Bungie has noted that it’s investigating why the Destiny 2 isn’t running on Ryzen 3000 CPUs.
AMD latest lineup of Ryzen CPUs is based on its 7nm Zen 2 architecture. But, that isn’t the only product powered by Zen 2. We know that both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett feature a custom AMD APU based on a variant of Zen 2 architecture.
If the performance gains are any indicators then PS5 and Xbox Scarlett will be powerful consoles and won’t be bottlenecked by a weak CPU. Furthermore, both consoles also feature Navi graphics with support for real-time Ray Tracing.
While AMD is making progress in the CPU market by leaps and bounds, the story is a bit different in the GPU sector. Nvidia is currently the king of the GPU market and AMD is lagging behind.
However, AMD is the first among the two to introduce 7nm GPUs but, Nvidia still claims that its 12nm Turing architecture is still the most efficient GPU. Nvidia claims Turing architecture’s performance per watt advantage is quite evident over its competitor.

A Republic Day to forget for India’s opposition party
As Prime Minister Manmohan Singh watched India’s 61st Republic Day parade in the New Delhi sunshine on Wednesday morning, senior opposition leaders Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley were in a Jammu prison, where they had spent a night under arrest.
Detained for attempting to lead thousands of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers into India’s northern state of Jammu & Kashmir to provocatively raise the national flag in the state that has been racked by unrest by Muslim separatists opposed to Indian rule, Swaraj and Jaitley’s politically-driven mission had ended in failure.
The BJP appear to have thought that the nationalism-drenched plan to hoist the flag in the centre of Srinagar, the state capital, would galvanize their Hindu support base, and show the ruling Congress party as ineffective in defending the disputed state from separatists who rile against New Delhi’s rule.
Thursday’s media post-mortem strongly suggested that they failed on both counts.
“Omar steals a march as BJP flag mission foiled,” summed up Mail Today on Thursday, as the opposition’s plan to paint the Congress-backed state chief minister as a weak leader spectacularly backfired.
The provocative rhetoric that accompanied the march also risked alienating moderate Hindus and a large section of secular voters, as newspaper editors strongly criticized the brazen attitude to stirring tensions in the unstable region where more than 100 people were killed last year.
The Hindu declared that the BJP’s plans appeared “more like an expedition to conquer enemy territory than a march for national unity. The political target was not separatism in Kashmir but the secular foundations of India.”
“Given the sensitive situation in the state, the party’s attitude has been irresponsible,” Mail Today agreed, as the BJP’s main political ally, the similarly Hindu-targeted Janata Dal party, publicly voiced its opposition to the provocative plan
“For all its talk of making corruption and governance the key issues in its poll campaign, the Hindutva party does not seem to tire of working for a Hindu-Muslim polarisation of the vote in its favour,” the Hindu wrote in its Thursday editorial.
“The people and the government of the troubled State of Jammu and Kashmir certainly did not need this disintegrative march by leaders of the country’s principal opposition party, who seemed intent on heightening tensions and provoking violence rather than on healing wounds and restoring normality”
Released from prison on Wednesday morning, the leaders conducted a hoisting ceremony before 200 party workers in Kathua, a small border town over 300 kms from Srinagar.
Sushma and Jaitley have vowed to bring up the issue in Parliament, and called it the worst scenario since the Emergency during the 1970s where freedom of speech rights were curtailed.
The Indian flag was hoisted in the state capital anyway, as planned, in a government-sponsored function at a sports stadium in the city, where Abdullah called for separatists to join a peaceful dialogue process.
Bereft of provocative rhetoric, the annual ceremony went without a hitch – which is more than can be said of the opposition party’s upside-down hoist in Orissa.
All round a Republic Day to forget for the BJP, then.

The steel city rebounds
Business View Magazine profiles Gary, Indiana , a city of 79,000 in Northwest Indiana, about 30 miles south of Chicago on Lake Michigan
“Steel City” – that’s Gary, Indiana’s enduring nickname. That’s because Gary is a city whose fate and fortune has always been tied to steel. Indeed, this town on the shore of Lake Michigan about 30 miles south of Chicago was actually founded by the United States Steel Corporation in 1906 and named after the company’s chairman, Elbert Henry Gary. The Elbert H. Gary was the name of the first boat to deliver ore and limestone when steel production began in 1908, and for many years thereafter, the Gary Works on the southern-most tip of the Great Lake was the world’s largest steel mill.
For decades, the steel town of Gary flourished – particularly during America’s post-World War II expansion, with big steel employing upwards of 30,000 workers. But like any company town is wont to do, Gary crashed along with the very industry that made it; the one that nurtured its economy and swelled its population. Since the city’s peak in 1960, when Gary’s population was 178,000, it has lost more than half its citizenry over the ensuing decades as steel production continued to plummet due to increased overseas competitiveness. Today, Gary is home to only 79,000 residents.
As Gary’s population moved out, it left behind thousands of abandoned properties, and like other shrinking, rust-belt cities in the mid-West, such as Detroit or Cleveland, Gary is plagued with urban blight, a decaying infrastructure, and economic distress. But while Gary, Indiana may be down, it is definitely not out. In fact, according to its Mayor, Karen Freeman-Wilson, who was first elected to lead the city in 2011, her hometown may have many challenges, but they pale in comparison to what she deems as its potential. And her administration is working hard to reverse the city’s downward trend of recent years.
Deardra Campbell is Gary’s Director of Commerce whose Department is comprised of several Divisions: Buildings, Community Development, Environmental Affairs/Green Urbanism, and Redevelopment, Planning, and Zoning. She reports that her office is overseeing many projects and initiatives, one of which is called University Park East, or UPE, for short. University Park East is a Gary neighborhood that experiences high rates of poverty, crime, and housing vacancies. But it also has positive assets – it is near Indiana University’s northwest campus and Ivy Tech, which is part of Indiana’s community college system. It also has well-established residential and business areas.
“The City of Gary, in conjunction with our non-profit partner, the Legacy Foundation, which functions as the community foundation for northwest Indiana, received a half million dollar Choice Neighborhoods Initiative Planning Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD),” Campbell explains. CNI Planning Grants are designed to support struggling neighborhoods by facilitating the development of comprehensive revitalization plans. The plans are supposed to focus on the areas of housing, education, transportation, and jobs, while synergizing the combined efforts of public and private agencies, philanthropic groups, and community leaders and residents.
“We call our transformation plan ‘The Blueprint for Change,’” Campbell continues. “We are submitting our draft outline of our plan to HUD on July 15th, and the planning project period ends in January 2017. We are now in the process of getting our ducks in a row so that we can implement the action steps that come from the plan, once the formal project period ends. One of the objectives of this Blueprint for Change is to provide new, high-quality, mixed-income housing. The Gary Housing Authority had a couple of scattered-site (i.e. single-family home), public housing projects in UPE that were in various states of disrepair. Through a series of community meetings and research, we have developed a transformation plan that includes demolition of substandard housing, to be replaced by new, high-quality affordable housing.”
Noting that the area is traversed daily by 10,000 college students, Campbell also says the research supports that “a coffee house, some type of fast, casual restaurant, and potentially, a small-footprint grocery store,” could also, potentially benefit the area. But most important to Campbell is the fact that the UPE plan is resident-driven. “It is not something where the city is saying you need this here, you need that there,” she exclaims. “We have eight working groups, comprised of residents, representatives from our anchor institutions and other stakeholders participating in community meetings, providing input. And so, at the end of the day, the UPE Blueprint for Change will be what the residents want to see in their community.”
Joseph Van Dyk is Gary, Indiana’s Director of Planning and Redevelopment. Like Campbell, his Division is intent upon balancing the desires of the residents and what’s important to them, with the infrastructure needs of the city. And in the case of Gary, those infrastructure needs are somewhat unique, mirroring the city’s status as a shrunken environment. “We’re a city that has a lot of excess roads, pipes, a lot of excess lighting and stormwater infrastructure. And this is sort of a new problem in city planning and a new issue to solve,” Van Dyk begins.
“In the history of the world, all city plans have been predicated on growth,” he continues. How do you manage traffic? How do you manage population density? How do you provide resources to a growing number of people? In cities with a fair amount of disinvestment or population loss, like Gary, there’s a new question to answer: ‘What do you do with all of the excess infrastructure?’ We have a city that was built for a growing population of 200-250 thousand people, and our zoning codes reflect that and the way our city is laid out reflects that. And so we have an interesting opportunity to repurpose our city and reshape it with a smaller population in mind that builds in for economic opportunity and builds in for population growth on a much smaller scale – with all the infrastructure already in place.”
While Van Dyk can pose the question, he isn’t sure that a ready-made answer, as yet, exists. “The concept that’s emerged from other cities that are similar in the amount of population loss they’ve experienced, is this idea that you take sparsely populated parts on the periphery of town, work with residents to relocate them to the central city where it’s more efficient to provide police coverage and fire coverage; where it’s more efficient and less expensive to plow the streets and provide lighting. That’s not really an option for us. The outer neighborhoods of our city are some of the strongest ones we have and our central city, midtown and downtown, is really where we’ve experienced the greatest amount of disinvestment and population loss. So, we have to think a lot differently about it.”
Part of that thinking involves going over all of the planning work done by previous administrations, while continuing to collect more data and solicit more community input. “So, we’re doing is a lot of community-level planning,” Van Dyk says. “We’ve been looking at data to see where our strongest neighborhoods are, where our opportunities for reinvestment are strongest, where we get the biggest return on things like repaving a road or fixing a pipe. We’ve also been looking at our blight and vacant property. We have about 6,500 vacant properties and we know that because we went door-to-door and looked at every single property in the city to get a better idea of what’s where. And those 6,500 vacant properties – we see that as an asset; we see that as an opportunity to use vacant land and repurpose it for redevelopment, or for returning it to nature and helping ease the burden on our stormwater infrastructure. So, we’re looking at our zoning and our land use plan to see how to merge all these different aspects to the greatest benefit of our stormwater infrastructure, to the greatest benefit of our economic development opportunities, and to the greatest benefit of the assets that we know already exist, and at the same time, better position ourselves for the next fifty years.”
Brenda Scott-Henry is Gary, Indiana’s Director the Department of Environmental and Green Urbanism Affairs. One of her Department’s recently completed projects was an assessment of the resilience of the city’s critical systems in case of an emergency or environmental disaster that would affect hospitals, transit, public safety, etc. “Kind of an approach to bouncing back after a crisis,” she says. The plan was devised under the auspices of The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative, a bi-national coalition of over 120 U.S. and Canadian mayors and local officials working to advance the protection and restoration of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River.
“We’re also beginning to work on clean energy for low-income communities,” says Scott-Henry. “The Department of Energy (DOE) just announced us as a partner through their Better Buildings Accelerator.” Better Buildings is an initiative of the DOE designed to improve the lives of the American people by driving leadership in energy innovation. Through Better Buildings, DOE partners with leaders in the public and private sectors to make the nation’s homes, commercial buildings, and industrial plants more energy efficient by accelerating investment and sharing of successful best practices. Better Buildings Accelerators are designed to demonstrate specific, innovative policies and approaches; each Accelerator is a targeted, short-term, partner-focused activity designed to address persistent barriers that stand in the way of greater efficiency. “So we will begin a two-year program where we will identify an action plan followed by identifying resources in order to implement that action plan and then roll out the activities in 2017,” she says.
Scott-Henry’s Department has also developed an urban conservation team to help address Gary, Indiana’s massive amount of property vacancies, as well as maintain its installed green infrastructure and, in conjunction with the city’s Parks and the General Services Departments, some of its natural areas and open spaces, as well. This year, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and the Student Conservation Association, Gary is launching the Gary Green Team comprised of youths who are being groomed to do urban conservation work. One of Scott-Henry’s plans is for the Team to do a tree inventory throughout the city in preparation for developing a tree master plan in an attempt to better manage Gary’s natural resources.
Lastly, Scott-Henry mentions the demolition of the old and abandoned, 14-story Sheraton Hotel, the tallest and ugliest building in Gary, and a prominent symbol of the city’s decay and neglect, as one of her “most exciting projects.” The structure, which was originally built in 1971, went dark after just 14 years, and ever since has been no more than an empty eyesore. Gary’s $1.8 million Sheraton demolition project has received city, state, and federal funding, including money from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development. “This August, we will begin the construction of phase one of a green infrastructure design plan for that site,” she adds, happily.
Among Mayor Freeman-Wilson’s many responsibilities is making Gary, Indiana an attractive city for business investment, now that the heady days of steel are long gone. She sees the city’s future linked to its location and its potential as a transportation hub, able to synergize the energies and efficiencies of air, rail, road, and water traffic. And so, her administration is focusing on is the completion of Gary Airport’s runway extension project coupled with the repositioning of the airport’s rail connections, and the re-industrialization of the area around the airport.
“Once we finished the runway and the realignment of the rail, we understood that it was important to have a plan for the utilization of the airport because it has historically been one of our least utilized resources.” In fact, the airport has not had commercial flights since 2013, and currently only serves private and corporate aircraft. So, the city engaged AFCO AvPORTS, a private management company that runs New Jersey’s Teterboro Airport. “We didn’t know a lot about running an airport and so it was important to bring on a partner who had a level of expertise. We thought that there was a synergy and some similarity to our area and the area that Teterboro covers,” Freeman-Wilson says. “And so, we’ve been engaged in that partnership and it not only involves development on airport property, but it also covers a significant portion of the airport footprint and part of that footprint involves an industrial area that is adjacent to it.”
Freeman-Wilson believes that manufacturing and heavy industry is still viable in Gary, Indiana, pointing out that U.S. Steel is still the Steel City’s largest employer. “But in addition to that industry, we’re looking to advantage our transportation assets,” she says. “And it’s not just the airport and the development of the airport, but it’s also advantaging the existence of three Class One rail lines, four Interstate highways, five national trucking interests that have terminals here, and the development of a port that will work with the private ports that have already been developed and have already been used on Lake Michigan. So, transportation is one of our major areas, and we’re looking to use all of that to our advantage. And we don’t have to create a lot of this; the interstate already exists, the trucking terminals already exist, and we are pushing to develop the lakefront. And that can then feed into employment for residents. Because any time you’re engaged in economic development, the end game has to be the employment of local residents. And that’s always at the forefront of any development that we do.”
Another one of Gary, Indiana’s nicknames is the “Magic City.” And some naysayers opine that it will take some nifty magic to produce the Steel City’s rebound. But Mayor Freeman-Wilson and her team are not under any illusions that Gary’s long decline will be reversed overnight; they know the challenges that face them. However, what they have done over the last few years is to begin to ameliorate the effects of the city’s decade’s-old vanishing act, while helping to put some steel back into the spine of its municipal government. “We are doing great things,” Freeman-Wilson declares, “and Gary’s best days are ahead.”

• They said high-yielding millet seeds will lead to maximum acreage harvest.
• Millet, they said, is among crops that can withstand harsh climatic conditions and farmers should grow it as one way of tackling climate change.
A team of researchers and behavioural change campaigners is pushing for the introduction of high-yielding finger millet varieties in Busia.
Officials from the Centre for Behaviour Change and Communication, researchers from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre and the Busia government said they want farmers to receive quality seeds and learn modern production techniques.
They said high-yielding millet seeds will lead to maximum acreage harvest. Millet, they said, is among crops that can withstand harsh climatic conditions and farmers should grow it as one way of tackling climate change.
Centre for Behaviour Change and Communication executive director Peter Lengewa said Busia’s climate is suitable for millet production.
“We specifically targeted Busia because we wanted to assess some of the challenges that farmers face in the production of millet,” he said.
“We want to partner with the Busia government to facilitate the availability of quality millet seeds. The seeds are available in organisations like the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation (Kalro) in Alupe, but the challenge we are facing is ensuring farmers get the seeds at the right time.”
Lengewa spoke on the sidelines of the launch of new millet varieties in Busia.
He said apart from ensuring farmers get high-quality seeds, his organisation, in partnership with stakeholders, is exploring new markets for the crop.
“Our job is also to link all stakeholders involved in the production of millet in Busia so that the availability of quality seeds, production and transportation of the final product to the market is done in a way that benefits all players in the value chain,” Lengewa said.
Busia county agriculture director Samson Khachina said market for millet has been a major challenge for farmers.
He said since those growing the crop are smallholder farmers, their capacity to find new markets is limited.
“Markets are really an issue because millet is mostly grown by small-scale farmers and they produce in small quantities, mostly for their own consumption,” Khachina said.
“Because of low production in Busia, we still get a large fraction of our finger millet from Uganda. We have decided to get a better approach to the way we conduct our business. We shall have aggregation centres in every ward and this will be run by cooperatives.”
He said they will need the involvement of the trade and industry department so farmers can produce for an identified market.
“We will hate a situation whereby farmers plant and fail to get a place to sell their produce,” Khachina said.
Chris Ojiewo, a researcher at CYMMT, urged farmers to grow millet since it can withstand harsh weather conditions.
“Millet is a crop that can withstand challenges, including climate change, and we would therefore encourage farmers to adopt its production,” he said.
Ojiewo said with the right seeds, an acre can produce at least two tonnes.
Some of the markets being mapped out for millet in the county include institutions with early childhood and development education centres.
Khachina said, the county will start buying rice and beans, before rolling out a plan that will also entail the acquisition of millet that will be supplied to ECDE centres.
Millet farmers Margaret Musiko and Cornel Okopio from Kakamega and Busia said they have been planting the crop for years.
They said with the right seeds, farmers can maximise their harvest, earn money and ensure their families are food-secure.
Millet has numerous health benefits, including helping to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
It is also gluten-free and people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities can enjoy eating it.
