“I think no matter which way you go on this, you’re going to have people that are upset,” Ames city attorney Mark Lambert said Tuesday evening, responding to a question from council member Tim Gartin over the video conferencing program Zoom. The City Council had just kicked off a discussion about how to proceed with a contentious proposal to mandate the wearing of masks in public spaces as a public health measure to quell coronavirus outbreaks — one that both men advised against because it contradicted the legal position of Tom Miller, the state’s Democratic attorney general.
But other council members, and Lambert as well, noted that the law was far from settled. Several jurisdictions, including Dubuque and Iowa City, had already passed local mask mandates. In doing so, they set the stage for a potential court battle over local control. Governor Kim Reynolds, a Republican, refuses to join the majority of states that have issued a statewide mandate, despite recommendations from the head of the White House’s coronavirus task force and hundreds of other doctors. A letter the city recently sent Reynolds requesting permission to enact a local ordinance, Mayor John Haila said, had yet to be acknowledged — the derecho, he suggested, may have been a factor. At a press conference in early July, the governor told reporters that only the state had the authority to mandate masks.
On Tuesday morning, the Ames school board had made the bold announcement that it was filing a petition for judicial review in defiance of the state’s plan to force districts to start fall classes in person. The plan, which doesn’t require masks or social distancing, disregards the advice of experts at the CDC and World Health Organization. It’s also relied on flawed data, including a “glitch” that the Iowa Department of Public Health had known about for weeks before a nurse practitioner from Iowa City named Dana Jones forced the agency to publicly acknowledge the problem.
Lambert prepared a draft ordinance for Tuesday evening, as he’d been directed to do by a four-to-two vote at the council’s previous meeting a week earlier. He included in it a preamble asserting that the city believed it was acting within its lawful authority under the home rule amendment to the Iowa constitution. Still, council members David Martin and Gartin — who, for similar reasons, was the sole dissenting vote on a resolution mandating masks in city buildings that passed in late July — remained opposed, concerned Ames could become mired in costly litigation for flouting the state.
Gartin initiated a spirited debate about the proposal three days before the latest meeting on Facebook, where he was variously derided as a coward and praised for bravely standing up for the law. Urging civil dialogue, he predicted that the proposed ordinance would have enough votes to move forward despite his reservations. The outcome of Tuesday’s meeting, however, left this prediction hanging by a thread: The council directed Lambert to rework his draft to strip out its only means of enforcement, a $50 fine that police would use as a last resort after an educational approach failed.
The discussion leading to this moment came against the backdrop of local and national news coverage about Iowa State students testing positive for the coronavirus and throwing large parties in violation of university guidelines. Meanwhile, in Iowa City, images of unmasked students crowding into bars quickly spread across social media, as did stories of the miserable experiences of others who tested positive and were forced to quarantine. When the council’s discussion was opened for public comment, one resident opposed to a mandate mentioned that COVID-19 cases were trending downward, which was true nationally but not in Iowa. According to a New York Times analysis, as the weekend approached, both Ames and Iowa City ranked among the top five metro areas in the country with the most new cases per capita over the past two weeks.
“I believe this is a serious virus, and I’m compassionate to those who have lost their lives and have gotten sick,” said Traci Jennings, a local RE/MAX real estate broker also opposed to a mandate. “I believe, personally, that this may be a reactive proposal due to the recent community buzz from the state and national media received from the arrival of Iowa State students and the gatherings that happened on Saturday, August 15.” Jennings added that she believed any mask mandate would infringe on people’s constitutional rights.
Not all of the opposition was as grounded in reality. Another RE/MAX realtor who works in Ames, Mark Greenfield, encouraged Gartin on Facebook to continue pushing back on the proposal. Greenfield’s profile prominently displays the hashtag #WWG1WGA, which is short for “Where we go one, we go all,” a slogan for QAnon, the bizarre but increasingly popular conspiracy theory that a global cabal of satanic pedophiles including prominent Democrats and Hollywood elites is conspiring to take down President Trump. On his profile, Greenfield has called COVID-19 a “100% Hoax” and shared a post falsely suggesting that masks are being encouraged so that sex traffickers can conceal the identities of their child victims. Another post links to an article from conservative news site The Daily Wire about Walmart and Home Depot choosing not to enforce their mask requirements “following violent confrontations” instigated by angry customers. “Yes!” Greenfield cheered. “Keep up the resistance!”
Nearly two dozen people raised a virtual hand at the meeting so they would be recognized to speak over Zoom. Slightly more than half of them opposed the proposal, several in part because the council had previously voted down a motion to include a religious exemption for churchgoers. A few others were generally supportive of a mandate but had concerns about the city’s ability to enforce it, and with specific language in Lambert’s draft. For example, parents questioned how realistic it would be to get three-year-olds to consistently wear masks.
As Lambert noted in a memo that he submitted to the mayor and City Council along with the draft ordinance, the Story County Board of Health, citing the CDC, had recommended an even narrower exclusion of children two years of age and under, but under three “seemed more workable in the real world.” The recommendation was one of several the board made in late June, as COVID-19 was hitting its first peak in Story County. Among them, the most headline-grabbing was a plea for ISU to “prohibit spectators at sporting events this fall”; in mid-August, athletic director Jamie Pollard said his department was considering an option to limit attendance to family and friends of the athletes. “We cannot emphasize enough the importance of wearing properly fitted face coverings, including cloth face coverings and face shields, worn over the nose and mouth when out in public or around people,” read another recommendation.
The Board of Health met again on Tuesday, half an hour after the council meeting began, to discuss a mask mandate proposal of its own. According to John Paschen, a local pediatrician who chairs the board, a public hearing on the proposal was scheduled for early September after minor modifications were made to it. After the board makes a recommendation, it will go to the Story County Board of Supervisors for final consideration. The health board’s draft regulation cites state law to make the case that it would have the authority to enforce a penalty of $105 for a first offense and $855 for subsequent offenses.
At the council meeting, some of the strongest support for a mandate was voiced by ISU students, although one, Sehba Faheem, expressed frustration over the reactive nature of the proposal. “I feel like in Ames, this conversation should have been happening months ago, and before 30,000 people from all over the state and all over the country came back here,” she said. “Right now, Ames is the perfect petri dish for this virus.”
Nicole Whitlock, the council’s non-voting student liaison, described how her college roommate recently returned to Ames from her home in Chicago, where a mask mandate is in effect. “She saw all these people walking around without masks, and she did not feel comfortable here at all,” Whitlock said. “She was very, very worried about it … and she just honestly cannot believe that we don’t have any sort of requirement.”
Rachel Junck, an ISU student who unseated Chris Nelson in a runoff election last December to become the council’s newest — and, by a wide margin, its youngest — member, moved to vote on Lambert’s draft as written. But in a somewhat ironic turn of events, one of the mandate’s proponents, council member Gloria Betcher, voted against it out of concern that its $50 fine was too small to be an effective deterrent for all potential offenders. She joined Gartin and Martin, who didn’t want to consider enforcement at all without the state’s authorization, to reject Junck’s motion in a deadlocked vote.
Betcher subsequently moved to vote on a draft without the penalty clause, arguing that the ordinance could still be effective from an educational standpoint and could be amended in the future to include a penalty if necessary. Council member Amber Corrieri, who strongly opposed a mandate with no enforcement penalty, joined Gartin in voting nay after making a successful motion to include an exemption for childcare facilities (contrary to one of the county health board’s June recommendations). Joining Betcher and Martin, Junck and council member Bronwyn Beatty-Hansen reluctantly voted to direct Lambert to rewrite the ordinance so that the council could begin the process of voting on its passage — which could take up to six weeks — at its next meeting on September 8.
However, sensing the urgency of the matter, the city announced Friday evening that Mayor Haila had requested a special meeting convening next Tuesday, September 1. “Although the face covering ordinance was originally scheduled for consideration on Tuesday, Sept. 8,” the announcement explained, “recent COVID-19 positive test data for Story County from the Iowa Department of Public Health and continued urging from local healthcare professionals suggest action be taken sooner.” With a five-member supermajority, it added, the council could vote to suspend the rules and adopt the ordinance then, instead of reading it at three consecutive meetings as is customary.
Where the enforcement penalty was previously laid out, the updated language now reads in that section, “Compliance with this ordinance shall be obtained through education and encouragement only. There is no penalty for a violation of this ordinance.”
As COVID-19 cases continued to rise through the week, Governor Reynolds on Thursday morning ordered the closure of bars in six hotspot counties, including Black Hawk, Johnson, and Story, where the state’s three public universities are located. Affected businesses were given little more than six hours’ notice. Two bars in Polk County, where the new shutdown is also in effect, sued the state the following day, arguing that the governor’s decision was arbitrary and unreasonable.
In a Facebook post published on Friday, Corrieri said that her “heart is breaking” for responsible small business owners in Ames affected by the shutdown caused by the actions of “a few bad apples in the bunch.” She singled out two downtown drinking establishments that “have been doing EVERYTHING right to protect their staff and customers”: the Torrent Brewing Company and Main Street wine bar Della Viti (whose owner, Beth DeVries, spoke with the Informer about her cautious reopening strategy in early June, shortly after the first bar shutdown order was lifted).
“Yet reactive rather than proactive decisions continue to be made despite recommendations from local health experts and even the federal government,” Corrieri went on. She then criticized the council’s plan to proceed with an unenforceable mask ordinance. “If we aren’t mandating something, can we all step up to do what’s right — not just for the safe [sic] of public health but to keep our businesses open?” she asked. “If we don’t, there will absolutely be further impact to this community that we can’t quickly overcome.
“I’m pissed off and I hope you are too. We’ve got to do better.”
Correction: This article previously said the fine for the proposed county-wide mandate would be $65 for a first offense and $625 for subsequent offenses, in line with the penalties for simple misdemeanors. However, as of July 15, those fines were raised to $105 and $855.

I’m the general manager, not a music director. So if you send me an e-mail telling me to listen to your music, I’m not going to do it. In fact, I’m not even going to forward it to the music director, because I don’t want to waste my time.
But inevitably, I still receive e-mails from people like this:
From: Jaylyn Ducati and the Sirens
Body: “check out my new single!
Now, I’m not here to comment on the quality of Ms. Ducati’s music, because I haven’t listened to the .mp3 she attached to her e-mail. And I don’t care how hot the Sirens’ hot pants are, I’m not one to succumb to such flattery as an emoticon heart. Ms. Ducati got the delete treatment that so many others have gotten before her.
But every so often, something lands in my inbox that’s worth reading. Such was the case a few days ago when a SPARKcon representative e-mailed me asking WKNC to pass the word along: it appears that SPARKcon is in the planning stages for its fourth annual event. If you’re asking, “What is SPARKcon?” then let me save you the trouble of Googling it:
SPARKcon is a showcase of creativity, talent and ideas of ‘The Creative Hub of the South,’ the Triangle NC. A 100% volunteer effort organized with an ‘Open Source’ approach, SPARKcon is a ‘creative potluck’ of SPARKs or creative themes such as art, music, film, fashion, etc. Each SPARK is put together by individuals who are deeply embedded in that specific local scene. Using a combination of networking and open calls for participants, organizers create diverse and representative events to show off local talent and connect disparate creative scenes. SPARKcon grows every time a new person gets involved with a SPARK category, creating their own event, or joining in to help an existing one. It’s an open-source, ‘for the people, by the people’ approach with an intentionally dynamic focus.’
That information comes from the SPARKcon homepage. Either way, they’re accepting submissions for musicSPARK now through July 20th.

Next miracle drug may come from PH seas, say scientists
BAGUIO CITY—The next miracle drug may come from the country’s seas, scientists here said last week.
“There are so many potential drugs which can come from the ocean. This is precisely the next frontier which we feel pharmaceutical drug discovery efforts should look into,” said Dr. Aaron Joseph Villaraza, associate professor at the University of the Philippines Institute of Chemistry in Diliman.
Speaking at the 39th Luzon session of the National Academy of Science and Technology here on May 16, Villaraza said medicines for pain relief or compounds used for cancer research had been synthesized from marine life found in the Philippines.
The Philippines has a rich biodiversity, so the Smithsonian Institution based in Washington conducted in 2005 a survey of 2,983 shore fish species, according to Villaraza.
“In mapping out the geographic distribution, they found that most species are located in the center, [which is the] Verde Island passage between Mindoro and [mainland] Luzon.
“Waters from the Pacific Ocean flow toward the Philippines carrying herds of marine animals … . [These are] nutrient-rich waters creating all sorts of microenvironments, characterized by different kinds of nutrition … different kinds of ecology,” he said.
He added that it was “no surprise [to] find a very high degree of marine biodiversity in the center of the Philippines.”
Researchers in the Ilocos region have also confirmed the medicinal properties of certain types of seaweed, said Andres Tungpala, dean of the College of Aquatic Science and Technology at Don Mariano Marcos State University.
Villaraza said drug development in the country was relatively new.
“It is a very long and very expensive [process]. One of the biggest challenges to transition from a drug in nature to something that is commercially available is the capacity to acquire the bioactive compounds (the biological compounds produced and which affect any organism) in sufficiently large amounts,” he said.
Pharmaceutical companies are aware that constantly harvesting the organism that produces bioactive compounds could trigger an ecological imbalance, according to Villaraza.
So some companies invest heavily in total synthesis, a term for replicating the natural compounds by recreating complex organic molecules using chemical reagents, he said.
Some scientists try to reproduce the bioactive compounds by keeping live samples of the marine animal, he said. But they ended up hiring people to collect seawater from the organism’s original habitat when they discovered that the species kept in laboratories stopped producing the compounds.
But the seas are “a real resource we can take advantage of,” he said.

876 DNA Test: A digital approach to genetics testing in Jamaica
WHEN the group chat was abuzz discussing mandatory paternity testing at birth in Jamaica, Terron Dewar participated, not knowing that his opinion would lead to the launch of a business. Today, the policy analyst and entrepreneur has started 876 DNA Test — a genetics testing company offering an at-home DNA testing experience for Jamaicans.
Dewar expressed his belief that mandating DNA paternity testing at birth is not an appropriate policy for Jamaica at this time. Instead, he advocates for the widespread availability and affordability of DNA testing for those seeking the service. Highlighting concerns about paternity fraud potentially leading to domestic violence, the trained mediator warned that mandatory paternity screening could result in State-sponsored, gender-based violence if unexpected results occur.
He emphasised that implementing a mandatory DNA testing policy at the State level, without the accompanying mediation and counselling support, could exacerbate gender-based violence, as societal tendencies toward violence, particularly directed at women in cases of disputed paternity, may lead to men expressing their frustrations through harmful actions.
With this belief, he has been on a quest to increase the accessibility of DNA screening across the island, eliminating the need for people to travel to the lab for screening. He said his company is on a mission to empower individuals to uncover the truth about their family lineage through a convenient, accurate and reliable DNA testing process.
“We are dedicated to providing comprehensive and accessible genetic testing services that enable people to establish their authentic biological connections that foster a greater sense of identity and belonging,” Dewar said.
The digital approach
The company offers a suite of services including paternity/maternity tests, aunt/uncle tests, sibling tests, pets and vets DNA tests, grandparents, and ancestry tests, all accessible through its digital touchpoints.
Dewar shared that while the company establishes relationship and paternity, it also provides molecular diagnostics to help determine individuals have a fulsome understanding of their health and wellness and their predisposition to diseases based on genetics. HIV, COVID-19, STDs and food sensitivity screenings are also provided.
“In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a notable surge in the demand for e-health services in Jamaica, offering enhanced convenience and expanded access for many. Leveraging this trend, we are extending the same level of convenience to the realm of DNA testing, providing our clients with the clarity and peace of mind they seek when delving into their ancestry,” he noted.
With 876 DNA Test, people may order test kits via the company’s website, on social media, and also via WhatsApp. The kits are delivered via local courier services to the clients, who then follow a step-by-step process to adequately collect their samples and return it to the lab. A lab certified result is then shared with the client within four business days after the lab receives the sample.
He explained that for testing through the court system, like filing for inheritance, 876 DNA Test has partnered with medical doctors islandwide to collect samples and to ensure legal requirements are upheld.
“In such cases, the test sample cannot be in the custody of the persons tested, so what we have done is partnered with the medical professional to ensure we maintain the correct chain of command,” he said, reiterating that his team is dedicated to providing a seamless and stress-free testing experience.
“Our team of experts ensure that each test is conducted with the utmost precision and care.”
Emotional support with testing
He highlighted that in addition to the slew of test services, the company also provides an optional counselling and mediation service to help clients process adverse results. This, he reasoned, is a means of support for clients during potentially challenging moments.
“Learning about one’s genealogy can be an emotionally charged experience and we understand that individuals may experience a spectrum of emotions after receiving their results that is difficult to process. We’ve integrated this service with our testing offerings in hopes of helping our clients adequately process these emotions and determine their next steps.”
Dewar outlined that a team of legal, counselling and mediation, marketing, lab technicians and logistics professionals supports the company. The company also has established contracts and partnerships with internationally accredited laboratories that generate PhD reviewed results for all its DNA tests.
“Our system is convenient, comprehensive, and it works. We are here to empower individuals seeking the truth about their lineage to do so through accurate DNA testing. We are here to enable people to establish their authentic biological connections and find closure, fostering a greater sense of identity and belonging,” he said.
His vision for 876 DNA Test is to be the leading provider of DNA testing solutions in Jamaica and the Caribbean, cultivating a society where individuals can navigate their familial relationships, resulting in stronger family bonds, improved well-being, and a deeper understanding of personal heritage.
Get tested with 876 DNA Test
Dewar noted that through the company’s innovative approach, he intends to contribute to a more connected and harmonious community where the truth about family lineage is readily accessible and embraced.
He invited individuals to test their lineage with 876 DNA Test and experience the convenience of clarity with peace of mind.

A parasite is an organism that lives in or on another organism.Parasites are dependant on other organisms for their survival.They derive food and nourishment from organisms which host them.The relationship between a parasite and its host favours the parasite while the latter doesnt benefit.
Parasites may be classified into two categories as follows:
1.External parasites – They live on organisms i.e externally e.g on fur and hair.Such parasites include Fleas, Ticks, Mites, Lice.
2.Internal parasites – They live within the organisms body e.g in the intestines, In the heart. Such parasites include Roundworms, Hookworms, Dirofilaria Immitis.
Parasites may seem harmless but if not checked and treated, they harm and damage their hosts health which may eventualy cause death. Cats are animals which can host various parasites within and on on their bodies.
Common external parasites which harm cats.
External parasites derive nourishment from Cats by sucking blood, water and other body fluids via the skin. They cause discomfort by irritating the skin. A parasite infested Cat will keep various parts of its body or shake its head from time to time. This is mainly because of the discomfort brought about by parasite infestation. External parasites are also responsible for transmitting several diseases and ailments to Cats.
The following are common parasites that live on Cats.
This mites invade the ear canals and areas that surround the ears. They are especially common in kittens. They are difficult to see since they are tiny and the use of a microscope may be required. A sign that your Cat is hosting earmites is that it will keep shaking its head from time to time or it will scratch about its ears due to the irritation caused by the earmites.
Serious earmites infestation may cause bleeding of the ear canals. Also, a Cat may scratch its ears to the point that it causes bleeding wounds around its ears.If not controlled and treated, earmites can damage the earcanal and eardrum causing partial or permanent hearing loss TO Cats.
They invade the Cats skin. They cannot be seen easily since they hide in the fur that coats Cats bodies. Fleas sometimes can be seen when you turn your Cat on its back. They can be identified as black or dark drown specks on the Cats belly. A sign that your Cat is Flea infested is excessive scratching on its body especally where the Fleas are bitting to suck blood. Fleas cause mild irritation to severe itching and Cat scratch disease. A Cat may also scratch itself to the point that it causes open sores on its skin. Flease may cause diseases such as Anaemia, Rickettsioss and plagues such as Bubonic, Septimetic and pneumonic plagues.
Cats are also infested by Ticks. They tend to attach themselves on soft areas such as on a Cats face or neck. Tick bites cause skin irritation, itching and scratching. They may also cause diseases such as Lyme disease, Babesios, Ehrliochisis and Anaemia.
The Larvae is deposited under the skins surface. This causes a hole over a lump that contains the Larvae. A sign that your Cat is infested is that one recognises a hole situated within a lump on the Cats skin or beneath its feet.

Like azure isles 般就 "Ah, ladies, but if we should have to make this house a field hospital, with all the dreadful--" "And the rest--not worth--?"
魇是 But now out yonder the two cousins were in the saddle, Irby's sabre was out, and soon the manoeuvres were fully under way. Flora, at the General's side, missed nothing of them, yet her nimble eye kept her well aware that across here in this open seclusion the desperate Greenleaf's words to Anna were rarely explanatory of the drill.
竟然 The two men found the Bazaar so amusingly collapsed that, as Hilary said, you could spell it with a small b. A stream of vehicles coming and going had about emptied the house and grounds. No sentries saluted, no music chimed. In the drawing-rooms the brass gun valiantly held its ground, but one or two domestics clearing litter from the floors seemed quite alone there, and some gay visitors who still tarried in the library across the hall were hardly enough to crowd it. "Good," said Hilary beside the field-piece. "You wait here and I'll bring the Callenders as they can come." "If you do--now--to-day--for one minute, I'll never take you back. I'll have Hettie or Dilsie." Now he gave their words a frowning attention, and now answered abruptly: "Humph! That looks tremendously modest in you, gentlemen,--what?... Well, then, in your whole command if it's their notion. But it's vanity at last, sirs, pure vanity. Kincaid's Battery 'doesn't want to parade its dinginess till it's done something'--pure vanity! 'Shortest way'--nonsense! The shortest way to the train isn't the point! The point is to make so inspiring a show of you as to shame the damned stay-at-homes!"
"It's from Mobile, you say?" 怕再 Still the oblivious Anna was glad. "It is Flora's doing," she gratefully cried. "She's done it! done it for us and our cause!"”
The actual text of Anna's chunk was never divulged, even to Flora. We do not need it. Neither did Flora. One of its later effects was to give the slender correspondence which crawled after it much more historical value to the battery and the battery's beloved home city than otherwise it might have had. From Virginia it told spiritedly of men, policies, and movements; sketched cabinet officers, the president, and the great leaders and subleaders in the field--Stuart, Gordon, Fitzhugh Lee. It gave droll, picturesque accounts of the artillerist's daily life; of the hard, scant fare and the lucky feast now and then on a rabbit or a squirrel, turtles' eggs, or wild strawberries. It depicted moonlight rides to dance with Shenandoah girls; the playing of camp charades; and the singing of war, home, and love songs around the late camp fire, timed to the antic banjo or the sentimental guitar. Drolly, yet with tenderness for others, it portrayed mountain storm, valley freshet, and heart-breaking night marches beside tottering guns in the straining, sucking, leaden-heavy, red clay, and then, raptly, the glories of sunrise and sunset over the contours of the Blue Ridge. And it explained the countless things which happily enable a commander to keep himself as busy as a mud-dauber, however idle the camp or however torn his own heart. 回事 Here too was the old coachman, with the soldier's horse. The vehicles jogged near and halted. A troop of girls, with Flora, tripped out. And still, in their full view, with Flora closest, the bride's hands held the bridegroom's fast. He had neither the strength to pull free nor the wit to understand.”

Getting children to eat healthy foods can sometimes feel like fighting an uphill battle. The leafier and greener the food, the greater the struggle.
Parents play a key role in promoting healthy eating. Right from the start, choosing to breastfeed gives babies a nutritional boost and may help them learn to better regulate their food intake.
Do you know?
A child born today can expect to live 26 years longer than a child born in 1900, but a person who has already reached 45 today can expect to live only four or five years longer than a person born in 1900.
Nutrition for kids is based on the same principles as nutrition for adults. Everyone needs the same types of nutrients — such as vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein and fat. Children, however, need different amounts of specific nutrients at different ages.
Why is Childhood Nutrition Important?
Nutrition is important at every age. Your children need proper nutrients to stay healthy and strong and grow up healthy and strong.
Nutrition for children can also help establish a foundation for healthy eating habits and nutritional knowledge that your child can apply throughout life.
Childhood nutrition involves making sure that children eat healthy foods to help them grow and develop normally, as well as to prevent obesity and future disease.
It is important that children eat three meals a day and not skip breakfast. Studies have shown that children and teens that skip breakfast have more trouble concentrating, do not perform as well in school, and often have later problems with heart disease. Obesity is common in children who skip breakfast.
What nutrients do children need?
The guidelines include selections from different food groups to provide the vitamins and minerals young bodies need for natural growth and activity. However, in this age of what has been called “advanced medicine,” there are those who seek to understand why so many among us, especially children, suffer from so much serious illness.
Each culture over centuries has developed its traditional diet.
To help guide parents and others in making good nutritional choices to keep BMI in line with normal growth and just to keep children healthy, the American Medical Association (AMA) suggests the following food choices for children, based on the USDA guidelines. Here are 5 healthy food group categories, emphasizing the nutritional intake of the following:
• Grains. Foods that are made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley, or another cereal grain are grain products. Examples include whole-wheat, brown rice, and oatmeal. Aim for mostly whole-grains.
• Vegetables. Vary your vegetables. Choose a variety of colourful vegetables, including dark green, red, and orange vegetables and starchy vegetables.
• Fruits. Any fruit or 100% fruit juice counts as part of the fruit group. Fruits may be fresh, canned, frozen, or dried, and may be whole, cut up, or pureed.
• Dairy. Milk products and many foods made from milk are considered part of this food group. Focus on fat-free or low-fat products, as well as those that are high in calcium.
• Protein. Go lean on protein. Choose low-fat or lean meats and poultry. Vary your protein routine. Choose more fish, nuts, seeds, legumes (peas and beans).
Here are some Healthy Snacks for the Kids
Children two to five years of age
The AMA and USDA recommend food guidelines for young children similar to those for older children and adults, but with smaller portions. When looking at a range of portion sizes, parents and those who care for young children should choose the smaller portion sizes for children age two or three, and go with a slightly larger portion for children who are age four or five.
Daily recommendations include:
• four to five servings of grains
• two or more servings of vegetables
• two or more servings of fruit
• three to four servings of dairy products
• two or three servings of protein
After age two, a child needs less fat than an infant—about 30% of daily calories.
After age three, the fibre becomes more important in a child’s diet and can impact future heart health.
At age four to eight, Calcium requirements steadily increase from 500 mg a day at age three to 800 mg a day at.
For calcium to be absorbed by the body, it must also have sufficient amounts of vitamins C, D and A. In addition to food sources, an hour of sunshine each day can also provide a child with his/her daily vitamin D requirement.
Children six to twelve years of age
By the time children reach age five or six, they begin to tell parents what foods they like. Parents and those who care for the children can help select foods from each recommended group that a child will enjoy. Calorie requirements and portion sizes increase as children get older: between ages six and ten, boys and girls need between 1,600 and 2,400 calories each day.
Because of puberty and adolescent growth, between ages 10 and 12, girls need about 200 more calories a day. Boys will begin needing about 500 more calories a day after age 12.
The following servings per day are recommended for children ages six to twelve:
• six to 11 servings of grains
• three to five servings of vegetables
• two to four servings of fruit
• three or four servings of dairy products
• two or three servings of protein

Foods Young Children Should Avoid
Infants and young children tend to have weaker immune systems than adults, which makes food poisoning very dangerous for this age group. By making use of safe food handling and preparation guidelines, you can help reduce the risk of spreading food poisoning.
• All unpasteurized foods and beverages, including raw milk and unpasteurized juice and ciders
• Raw or partially cooked eggs or foods containing raw eggs
• Raw or undercooked meat and poultry
• Raw and undercooked fish or shellfish
• Raw sprouts
• Honey, until after the baby’s first birthday because it can harbour spores of toxic bacterium that can cause botulism, a severe foodborne illness caused by a bacterium which occurs in soil.
10 Tips For Child Nutrition
1. Teach the importance of good nutrition, and help your children establish healthy eating habits. The more your child understands about nutrition, the more excited he will be about eating healthy.
2. Choose fresh foods over highly processed foods.
3. How you cook and prepare foods can affect the nutritional value. For example, try grilling, steaming, baking, or broiling vegetables instead of frying or boiling them.
4. Drink water or low-fat milk instead of sugary, sweetened drinks.
5. Different foods provide different nutrients, so make sure your child gets a good variety of fruits and vegetables.
6. Encourage children to take their time while eating and to chew well.
7. Make meal and snack periods a time for sitting down – don’t allow children to lay or run and play while eating and drinking.
8. Oils are not a food group, yet some, like nut oils, have vital nutrients and can be included in the diet. Animal fats are solid fats and should be avoided.
9. Exercise and everyday physical activity should also be included with a healthy dietary plan.
10. Find nutritious foods that children enjoy, For example, try fruit for dessert.

It’s hard to talk about this year without acknowledging off the top that we have a PM and government that seem committed to making things harder for so many Australians.
By Senator Rachel Siewert
It is fair to say that this past year has been a whirlwind, especially in WA. First, the election, then uniqueness of a Senate by-election – one of the most amazing shows of support and unity I have seen during my time in the Greens. We then had the Budget and now the new Senate.
It's hard to talk about this year without acknowledging off the top that we have a Prime Minister and a Government that seem committed to making things harder for so many Australians, particularly the most disadvantaged.
Each Greens MP speaks passionately about the impacts that the Federal Budget is having in their home states and in their portfolios. It's hard to know whether the Abbott Government's policy making is a result of inability, cruelty or, more realistically – both. Across my portfolio areas, the impact of the budget has been significant.
Wide ranging cuts across income support and social services are proposed without consultation or justification. Some measures, including moves to deprive job seekers aged under 30 of income support for six months a year, are almost beyond comprehension. Half a billion dollars of cuts have been made to programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, greatly undermining efforts to close the gap and making a mockery of Tony Abbott's promise to be the Prime Minister for Aboriginal Affairs. Cuts to Landcare and NRM, along with the Government's reckless abolition of the Clean Energy Package have weakened efforts to protect our environment, agriculture and oceans. Environment Minister Greg Hunt has failed in his responsibilities by rubber stamping the first year of the Barnett Government's shark cull and also removing the management plans from what was Australia's world-leading network of marine protected areas.
Despite the Government's agenda, we continue to take the political lead when it comes to the critical discussions about Australia's future. When you discuss climate change, health, education, the treatment of asylum seekers, the most vulnerable in our community, building sustainable cities or the need for marriage equality, the Greens are there.
As I write the future of a referendum on constitutional recognition of our first peoples is unclear but today I have been working with many people to build support for Constitutional Recognition, we've helped pile the pressure on Colin Barnett's shark cull and we've made sure the Government can't escape the public backlash against their budget.
We have also put a focus on building our community campaigning and engaging Greens members and volunteers in community action. In November of last year over 100 people crammed into a room in one of Perth's western suburbs to talk about the Greens' climate campaign strategy. For some of the people in the room, this was their first Greens meeting, so it was great to see at the end of the meeting everyone agree that door-knocking and field campaigning was a great way to engage with the community.
As a result of that meeting, over the summer, more than 70 different people tried their hand at door-knocking. Together, we knocked on more than 3000 homes, in five different areas. As it turned out, this was the start of the WA door-knocking campaign to re-elect Scott.
The climate door-knocks were going well but when we were reasonably sure that a Senate by-election was likely, we knew we had to step it up. What followed was the biggest grassroots engagement campaign that we've managed in WA.
Since the election we've worked hard to keep the enthusiasm for field campaigning high. Most recently, through the #BustTheBudget campaign. In the last two months we've continued having one-on-one conversations with the community in shopping malls, at rallies, and at people's doors. This has helped us build stronger opposition to Tony Abbott's cruel budget. Our challenge now is to carry the momentum through to 2016, where we hope to grow our vote in Western Australia.
As always, your support is what keeps us going, and this year we've seen just how much the Greens are capable of achieving. I know that we will continue this great work in the year ahead.

Here are six impossible things to believe about the new Disney movie Alice in Wonderland.
1. Tim Burton actually wanted to do it like this.
Given that he signed on after the screenplay was written and it was part of a two-movie deal, the other being a remake of his own Frankenweenie, I'm guessing he actually has his heart set on the latter.
2. The characters really fit those names and personalities!
The Mad Hatter's name is Tarrant Hightop? The Cheshire Cat is Chessur? The Caterpillar's name is Absalom? Wait, that's actually a real name... Let's call that Absolem. They sound pretty contrived to me. All the characters seemed distant and unconcerned with Alice in the books, with many notable exceptions in Through the Looking-Glass, but here they're all obsessed over her.
3. It's about time Alice faced the Jabberwocky!
It's "The Jabberwock," and it is entirely possible that the Jabberwock in the book was fiction within fiction. How on earth did he wind up with the Red Queen, and why was Christopher Lee just thrown in? Alice also faced the Jabberwock(y) in the 1985 television adaptation of the Alice books starring Natalie Gregory, and also in a very poorly done animated adaptation of Through the Looking-Glass that was released straight to video.
4. Alice becoming a feminist is completely believable!
A little reveal at the end about Alice's future was completely unrealistic for the 19th century. In addition, Alice's mother notes early on that Alice is not wearing her stockings or corset. While Carroll's Alice is only seven and a half at the oldest, her society would dictate that she likely wouldn't have grown up like that.
5. Combining the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts was natural!
The film's Red Queen is basically the Queen of Hearts with a name change, and even more bloodthirsty, as it's even shown that she had the King of Hearts/the Red King executed, as his crowned head is seen in her moat. The Queen of Hearts wasn't that bad in the book, she only ordered executions we were told were never carried out. The Red Queen is a prim and agreeable woman who even helps Alice get started in the chess game. Moreover, the cleverness of the Cards' suits and the chess motif is completely lost here and just used as framing.
6. Carroll would approve.
I understand actually creating a plot and giving Alice a goal more substantial than getting into a beautiful garden or becoming a queen, but as I've shown above, the characterizations were not completely accurate. The plot is even more escapist than Carroll's books, as Alice runs away from a marriage proposal before going down the rabbit hole again so she can slay the Jabberwocky, defeating the Red Queen, so she can get the courage to give her honest answer.
However, this was actually a good movie. These points will mainly get to people who are very familiar with the Alice books or some of the earlier adaptations. I almost wish I wasn't so familiar with them so I could have just taken it on its own.
While I did have some issues with the plot (the epilogue screams "Disney!), for the most part, it was a good plot. However, some characters were greatly underused as others were overused. And why couldn't we have seen more of the characters who were not in the previous Disney movie? Would it kill Disney to show us the Duchess, her Cook, the pig baby, the Mouse with a sad tail, the Gryphon, the Mock Turtle, the White Knight, Humpty Dumpty, the Lion and the Unicorn, or the rest?
The CG was well-done. However, due to its overuse in many recent films, we can spot it. Here, there is CG in every Wonderland scene, Wikipedia estimating that 90% of the movie is CG. Thanks, Tim Burton, for calling it "animation," because that's what it really is.
Danny Elfman did a great job on the music, but I wish he'd also done the music for the end credits, rather than that Avril Lavigne song. It doesn't fit the rest of the movie at all.
Anyways, if you're curious or think you can take it for what it is, by all means, spend a little time in Underland. (Yeah, they changed that, too.)

Leonard Ncube Victoria Falls Reporter
THE government should consider reducing charges for accommodation and leisure activities for locals as a way of boosting domestic tourism, a Cabinet Minister has said.
Acting Tourism and Hospitality Industry Minister Prisca Mupfumira last week said the government was aware of exorbitant prices charged for tourism activities.
She said there was a need to make them affordable to locals.
Minister Mupfumira, whose substantive portfolio is Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare, was in Victoria Falls for the whole of last week officiating at the International Labour Organisation (ILO) retreat and Zimbabwe Energy Workers’ Union (ZEWU) congress.
She had a chance to sample a number of activities and interact with locals who expressed concern at the high charges.
The minister said the rates such as $7 per individual to enter the Rainforest, $5 to visit the Crocodile Farm, close to $200 for each activity in respect of bungee jumping, white water rafting, helicopter flight and lion and elephant walk were unaffordable to locals thereby dealing a blow to domestic tourism.
“Maybe we’re not doing much in terms of promoting domestic tourism. One area which needs to be looked at is fees as what’s being charged might be prohibitive to locals,” she said.
Minister Mupfumira called for packages specifically for locals who cannot afford to visit resort areas they live adjacent to.
“Maybe we should come up with packages especially during school holidays where teachers and kids can visit resort areas at reasonable prices.
“If you look around here most of the people you see on the streets are foreign tourists yet our resorts must be part of our lives. We should cherish these areas and as such we need to encourage locals to visit and know them so they become our ambassadors. This can only happen if they’re affordable to them,” she said.
Minister Mupfumira said there was a need even to review accommodation rates.
“Even our hotels rates are too high. We need to look at the fees structure and have packages for locals,” she added.
Accommodation ranges from $60 for lodges per room with some charging $140 while some hotels charge as high as $250 per room.
Over the years domestic tourists visiting the resort town of Victoria Falls have accused the tourism industry of overpricing its products and called for dual pricing in all areas to cater for locals and boost domestic tourism.
Players have also defended themselves saying the prices are in tandem with multiple licensing fees charged by Environmental Management Agency, the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZPWMA), Zimbabwe Tourism Authority, Zimbabwe Revenue Authority, Zimbabwe National Water Authority and Zesa.
At the Victoria Falls Rainforest, the ZPWMA charges locals $7, regional tourists pay $20 while international tourists are forking out $30.
Most of the activities cost more than $100.
In 2014, the Ministry of Tourism and Hospitality Industry launched a domestic tourism campaign aimed at enhancing communities’ participation in the sector and creating wealth for ordinary people.
The campaign was meant to see communities and locals benefiting extensively from the revival of the monuments that would be upgraded to tourist resort sites where affordable rates would be charged.
Nothing significant has been implemented.
Some players have also introduced online auction platforms at affordable rates to domestic tourists but the systems are not supported at policy level.
Tourism is one of the key economic drivers in Zimbabwe contributing around 10 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and is one of the four pillars of the economy alongside agriculture, mining and manufacturing.

“Feasibility study in preparation for Randomized Trial of Enhanced Primary Mental Health Care Implementation” is a two year research project supported by Grand Challenges Canada and implemented through a collaboration between the Institute of Population, Health and Development (PHAD) and Simon Fraser University (SFU). Grand Challenges Canada is funded by the Government of Canada and is dedicated to supporting Bold Ideas with Big Impact in global health.
Depression has been found to be a prevalent condition in Viet Nam. Although primary healthcare services are accessible in Viet Nam for the general population, there is very limited access to specialist services for common mental disorders such as depression.
This research is preparation for a subsequent project that will undertake a cluster randomized controlled trial of enhanced primary healthcare services for depression in Viet Nam. The study has the potential to have a transformative effect on the quality of mental health services provided to a large proportion of the population in Viet Nam that experiences disability and distress as a result of common mental disorders. Moreover, it holds the potential to demonstrate proof-of-concept for such primary healthcare enhancements for common mental health problems in low-and middle-income countries, thus addressing a large burden of disease through a low-cost intervention that could be easily integrated into existing services.
The target population for our intervention is primary healthcare providers such as general practitioners, commune health workers, and other healthcare providers who work at the level of primary healthcare. The research aims to achieve specific changes in their practice, including: the incorporation of enhanced, yet very brief standardized assessment of common mental health conditions and; implementation and followup of a “supported self-management” strategy that has been shown to be effective and also has the benefit of engaging patients, families and communities in health promotion and illness prevention strategies.

Wondering what SPLASH has been up to? Lots! Every year we collaborate on more than ten community events. Perhaps you have seen the SPLASH stormwater table at your community event? Click on the Annual Report to see a summary of the events that we participate in. For upcoming events, please check out the calendar on our home page.
Doo You Scoop the Poop? Doo You Bag It & Trash It?
Every time you help protect Colorado's water!
When pet owners don't Scoop the Poop, millions of pounds of poop can wash into our waterways.
That pollutes our water. And here in Colorado every drop of clean water is important to protect. Pet waste that washes into our waters after a storm adds unwanted excess nutrients (too many nutrients are a bad thing!) that causes lakes to become green and even smelly. Pet waste not disposed of properly can also spread pathogens, disease causing bacteria and viruses, and may make local waters unswimmable and potentially make people sick.
Think ahead and Scoop the Poop! Always carry a plastic bag and dispose of it properly. It is just that easy to protect our water and keep it clean. There are even compact, refillable bag dispensers that you can attach right to your dog’s leash. If you live in any of the jurisdictions of the SPLASH members, click here to request a free dog bag waste container from us. Or look for a SPLASH booth at your next community event.
Will you doo something?

by CollieLover15 100% Worth It
I purchased the largest (48") crate for my 55 pound collie. I knew that the kennel would be too large for her, but I intentionally wanted to go one size up from what she "needs." I put her in this kennel, and she has SO much room! She has room to stand, sit, and not just turn around but WALK around. The kennel is durable and comes with two handles to help make carrying it easier. Sometimes the latches catch a little, but I'd rather they catch some than easily open when she paws at the door.

I am very pleased with the iCrate brand. I have a 7 month old pomeranian and started her off in the smallest crate -up to 5 pounds- when I first brought her home at 6 weeks old and just went up one size -up to 10 pounds- to give her more room.
The sizes are not only perfect for her breed, they work well for small spaces and fold/unfold easily for travel.

This crate works very well for my 21 pound Pom. I have used canvas crates in the past but had problems with them collapsing or the zipper tearing so I decided I would give this crate a try and am glad I did.
