A CFO’s Secret Weapon for Controlling Outbound Cash Flow
Guest Post from Canon Imaging Solutions Division: With an integrated invoice processing solution, CFOs can control their company’s outbound cash flow and drive financial growth
Read time: 3.5 min.
After years of defensive strategies, CFOs are squarely focused on helping grow their business. According to Accenture, most CFOs say that a top priority is helping their business develop strategies for growth. To accomplish this, CFOs must partner with management teams across the organization to align everyone in achieving the same goals. Supporting technology, often including the core enterprise systems, plays a key role in the ability to achieve these goals. Because of this, the IT leadership team becomes a vital partner in executing initiatives related to overall company strategies outlined by the CFO.
Control is necessary
CFOs will need to get better control of their outbound cash flows to achieve growth.
- Sixty-nine percent of CFOs say they need better control over their working capital.
- Most businesses have visibility of only half of their enterprise spending.
- Forty-five percent of CFOs say they cannot readily access accounts payable data.
These statistics from the Institute of Finance and Management (IOFM) paint a sobering picture for CFOs who want to harness outbound cash flows to help drive corporate growth and profitability. They contend that businesses will never achieve strong control over their cash without automating the invoice processes that feed their enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
Poor control over outbound cash flows negatively impacts:
- Budgeting, forecasting and planning
- Cash management
- Payment strategies
- Supplier relationships
Financial visibility is key
Regardless of the ERP you use, in a manual or semi-automated invoice processing environment:
- Key information is not captured
- Data is poorly organized
- Information is not available to the ERP in a timely manner
- Systems and processes are poorly integrated
- Decision-makers cannot access key variables
Eighty-one percent of accounts payable professionals describe financial visibility as “critical” or “important” to controlling their cash, the IOFM reports.
For example, automating the invoice processes in your JD Edwards system provides businesses with greater control over their outbound cash flows. By leveraging OCR for data extraction, workflow and deep integration with JD Edwards, you enable visibility and collaboration that was previously impossible. Data is organized, timely and easier to access, while documents are organized and available within transaction screens via Café One.
Use dashboards to track outbound cash flow
Configurable dashboards track accruals and other information in real time, which enables CFOs to quickly access the data they need to accurately predict their cash needs. Data can also be pulled in from other systems, providing a 360-degree view of outbound cash flows. Additionally, CFOs can drill down into data and instantly access key metrics, such as the volume of invoices out for approval, the dollar amount of invoices in each stage of processing and invoice data by month, supplier and type of invoice.
Integrating an automated invoice processing solution with JD Edwards provides two-way data integration to ensure that data on outbound cash flows is synchronized in both systems.
The insights provided by JD Edwards are made even more powerful if you are leveraging One View Reporting. A tightly integrated automated invoice processing solution, such as the one from Canon Imaging Solutions Division (CIIS), puts unprecedented control into the hands of CFOs to manage their organization’s outbound cash flows. At a time when CFOs and CIOs are looking for ways to grow their organization, this control over cash flows is critical.

Does Economic Development Need Storytellers?
Sandra Harbrecht Ratchford
Paul Werth Associates
In 1992, political strategist James Carville coined a phrase that would help focus Bill Clinton’s campaign and lead him to a presidential victory later that year. That phrase: [it’s] the economy, stupid.
Today, economists are sharing a surprising message of their own: Economics needs storytelling.
But I wouldn’t stop there. Economic development professionals need storytelling too, and, just as important, storytellers.
In her eye-opening article in The Washington Post, Heather Long details how the decade-plus shift toward STEM fields and the “great migration” away from the humanities now calls for a correction. This is intriguing given that individuals in STEM-related fields are advocating for skill sets deeply entrenched in the humanities.
Nobel Prize winner Robert Shiller is leading that charge with his book Narrative Economics, where he makes the case for storytelling to help advance the science of economics. Shiller’s advocacy for storytelling comes at a time when English majors are in steep decline, and perhaps that too is in part due to STEM’s memorable storytelling of higher pay and guaranteed employment in IT and computer science fields.
Yet, as Long points out, a 2017 study revealed that English majors had lower unemployment rates
than individuals with degrees in Economics, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer and Information Systems. Another study suggests that earnings for those with backgrounds in the humanities catch up with STEM-based peers by mid-career.
The takeaway is that narratives evolve, but too often they aren’t being communicated effectively. Most economists aren’t natural storytellers, and neither are economic development professionals. However, it’s critical to their work. Today’s environment, in which there are a lot of distractions and data points flying around, makes this task even more difficult. Targeted messaging reinforced with compelling stories are essential to making economic development stories stick.
In an excellent Forbes column from a couple of years ago, branding expert Ryan Short puts it simply: “A brand is the shared system of beliefs and values that define an organization and attract others to it … Economic development experts, developers and business owners who get that are smartly investing in defining and nurturing district and community brands.”
Economic development initiatives are, at their core, about persuasive storytelling that goes beyond tax incentives. Why is this community right for this project? Why will business owners and their employees want to live here? Why is the targeted business or industry the right fit? Why is the investment worth
the risk? Why do we have the right workforce to make it successful? How will this positively impact businesses, individuals, local government and the local economy?
Answering these questions requires a consistent narrative by all the stakeholders who stand to benefit. It’s about weaving a compelling story that brings all stakeholders together in full, or near, consensus.
Think of it this way: English majors might not write a single line of computer code, but they know how to crack the code when it comes to telling a story about what that code can do. And that’s just as valuable.

- Moving Plant Shared Content to Vault
- Creating a Plant 3D Project with Custom Specs in Vault
For people using Vault, many times they would like to host their shared content in Vault. The first step to doing that is to upload the content into Vault. If there is interest in future posts, we’ll show other steps like synchronizing Vault to a server, or having users sync their content from Vault on a scheduled basis. In this article, we’re not going to cover setting up proper permission, it’s assumed you’ve defined user access already for the actions being performed.
Before starting, you’ll need to identify a couple points.
- Where your current shared content folder?
- Where do you want the shared content in Vault?
Now it’s time to move your shared content folder.
If you are using the stock location, your content folder is at C:\AutoCAD Plant 3D 20XX Content.
Our internal shared content folder on Vault is at $\Content\Plant 3D\Catalogs.
Before starting, make sure you aren’t going to be using your machine for a while (maybe overnight), because this can be a long process. The process itself will be in three steps.
- Upload content to Vault
- Download Vault shared content folder
- Change user’s shared content folder path
Upload content to Vault
Because there are dwg files in the shared content folder, you will need to use AutoCAD to move them to Vault.
Launch AutoCAD, and then Log In to Vault.
Next click the Application menu (1), Vault Server (2), and Check In Folder (3).
Select your source location (1), target (2). Then pick Non-Interactive mode (3), and click settings. Make sure it doesn’t try to create visualizations (5). Finally add comments (6) and click Ok.
When finished, you will get a popup describing the success or failure.
Download Vault Shared Content folder
Before user’s can access the content, they’ll need to get it stored on their local machine. To do that, navigate to the folder within Vault, right-click and use the Get option.
When the Get dialog comes up, DO NOT CHECK OUT the folder, just click OK and the content will start the potentially long process of downloading.
Change User’s shared content folder
Once the content has been downloaded from Vault, we need to point user’s to the local Vault copy. In the start menu (1), expand AutoCAD Plant 3d 2021 (2), and then right-click on the spec editor (3), select more, and then Run as Administration (4).
Once you close the splash screen, go to Tools > Modify Shared Content folder.
Click Browse and you can go to the local Vault location of your shared content folder.
You will need to restart Plant 3d if you have it open.

The Una Corda Piano design departs from the traditional concept of acoustic pianos that consist of the technical piano surrounded by a furniture casing. The Una Corda design strictly focuses on the functional aspects of the instrument, the sound quality and the mechanical properties. For amplifying piano strings only the soundboard is relevant, stripping the instrument of a case allows the sound to travel freely to the listeners. The mechanical parts being visible adds to the educational experience whilst playing the piano, offering an insight into how the audible tone is actually created.
It is a lighting show that was staged at three different locations in Oakville (ON, Canada). The performance is fiction on the theme of Energy. In the story, the Outsiders came to Earth not as invaders but as highly intelligent creatures with a lot of knowledge to share with humans. The main point of the project: the energy is actually found inside of us. It is the foundation of human livelihood and maybe a key to solving the energy problem on Earth. To visualize the idea, the artist has designed lighting costumes using LED modules and zip-ties.

STANDING next to the newly-unveiled jet black and gold Leo Express emu at InnoTrans in September, Mr Leoš Novotny, chairman of the board of the fledgling open-access operator, cannot help but smile. As he tells the gathering crowds that the Czech Republic's latest open-access operator is due to begin operation on time, he also speaks with pride about the company's new Stadler Flirt trains.
"It goes very well with our concept," Novotny said. "It is Swiss-made, which is what we will be marketing to our customers. Stadler understood that we needed something to differentiate us from the competition, and I remain very content and very convinced by the qualities of our new trains."
Leo Express will launch its first services this month following the winter timetable change on December 9. The new operator is going head-to-head with Czech Railways (CD) and fellow open-access operator, RegioJet, on the Prague - Ostrava line, offering 16 services per day, and a competitive pricing structure. And despite some difficulties with submitting certification documents for its new rolling stock to the rail authority, the operator began trial runs with passengers in mid-November, and was optimistic as IRJ went to press that its service would begin on time.
Speaking to IRJ onboard the second of five, five-car 160km/h Flirt emus which Leo Express ordered in a deal in September 2010, Novotny says that his investment business Aakon Capital is always looking for new ventures which are interesting and could generate a return.
Leo Express is the private equity investment company's inaugural venture into rail, and its most visible to date, and Novotny is convinced that it is the right move to make.
"Every year we look at executing an investment in one or two new projects out of around 100 or so business proposals that we receive," Novotny says. "We saw that in the Czech Republic and in central Europe there are a lot of opportunities to enter the passenger rail sector and not many people are really taking advantage of it.
"Somebody forgot to penetrate the central and eastern European rail market following the fall of the Soviet Union in the 1990s and the opening up of the region to business investments. It is unbelievable that in 2012 we are still one of the first private rail operators to begin work in central Europe."
Novotny says that he was keen to differentiate the Leo Express service from its competitors through its rolling stock concept. Novotny visited a range of operators across Europe to look at how they work and settled on buying new rolling stock rather than leasing locomotives and coaches because of the improved efficiency of the vehicles. He says that the operating costs of the new emus is around half that of locomotive-hauled trains.
"This train was built to be competitive in the central European market," Novotny says. "20-30 years ago there was no competition in mind when developing rolling stock. It was locomotive-hauled coaches and there was no real appetite for innovation. This might have been the old solution, but we chose to do something more modern. We want to combine quality of service and safety with passenger comfort."
Indeed Leo Express is offering three classes of travel for 237 passengers in a single train, with up to six passengers in premium class, 19 in business and 212 in economy. Novotny says that the company came up with 20 criteria ranging from the quality of its seats to availability of at-seat power sockets and air-conditioning. He says the aim of this was to be better or at least equal to the service provided by its competitors.
"I look at it as comparing two taxi drivers," Novotny says. "One is driving a 20-28-year-old classic car which has no air-conditioning and the windows don't work. The other car is more comfortable, but it is last year's Skoda. It is not junk, but it is not a Mercedes. It is the same for us. We are not operating an AGV here, but we are offering something that provides a very good service to the market we will be serving."
In parallel to developing its rolling stock design concept, Novotny says that the financial arrangements for buying rather than leasing rolling stock were better suited to the company's business model because the debt level would be easier to service. However, it is in leasing that he sees great potential for further investment in the rail sector.
InnoTrans was the launchpad for Aakon's latest venture, Leo Pool, a rolling stock leasing business that will similarly target the central and eastern European rail market. Novotny says he thinks that Leo Pool will clinch its first deals in 2013-14, and expects the company to provide rolling stock both for future Leo Express ventures and third parties.
He says that he sees great potential for additional open-access services in the Czech Republic, as well as other central European countries and cross-border services in central Europe. Already there is talk of launching services from Prague to Usti nad Labem, Plzen and Vienna, and investing Koruna 7.25bn ($US 376.2m) in new equipment and trains.
Indeed, Novotny says that Leo Express' inaugural service promises to be just the beginning. "We have a lot of work still to do to reinvent central European railways," he says.

Young people deserve the opportunity to be heard and express their feelings in a safe space. But for newcomers to Canada, unique challenges like language barriers can make it difficult to access mental health support.
As approximately half of the newcomers fleeing from conflicts in Afghanistan and Ukraine are young people, Kids Help Phone identified an urgent need to provide a safe space to speak about their experiences. The Canadian youth mental health charity scaled to provide professional phone counseling service, via a LanguageLine(R) interpreter, in Dari, Pashto, Russian, and Ukrainian. They are the first mental health organization to do so in Canada.
To access services in Dari, Pashto, Ukrainian, and/or Russian, young newcomers can call 1-800-668-6868 and press 3 to be connected to a counselor and an interpreter.
These four languages are in addition to services provided in Arabic and Mandarin which launched in 2021.
The language expansion has been funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The IRCC has extended funding to scale to 100 languages by 2025.
Easing Access to Mental Health Services
Kids Help Phone supports young people in every province and territory in Canada. As the only national, 24/7 mental health service in French and English for young people in Canada, the organization knows first-hand that for many young people, seeking mental health support is not always easy to do. There can be stigma for seeking support, and many young people, including newcomers, may not have the language proficiency to understand or describe how they are feeling.
By launching in-language counseling services for Afghan and Ukrainian newcomers, Kids Help Phone hopes to better serve these brave young people escaping conflict.
"The lives of so many young people have been turned upside down through having to leave, or even flee, their countries. It's heartbreaking to think about what these young people are going through and how uncertain they may feel. We believe in a future where every young person in Canada can access the support they need, in the way they need it most," said Katherine Hay, President & CEO of Kids Help Phone.
"To make e-mental health support more accessible through language for any young person across Canada is an important step in ensuring equitable access for those who may be most vulnerable. We appreciate the support and the vision of IRCC to enable the expansion of Kids Help Phone's language offerings to meet a critical need today, with a view of further expansion of more languages."
Helping the Most Vulnerable
Immigration Minister Sean Fraser said the addition of LanguageLine interpreters in these four languages is an extension of Canada’s “proud tradition of welcoming and supporting the world’s most vulnerable.”
"In order to adjust to life in Canada, we need to ensure that newcomers have access to resources to cope with past trauma and rebuild their lives,” Fraser said. “Creating this culturally-sensitive, accessible safe space is especially important when it comes to vulnerable youth, and this funding will ensure that those fleeing conflict—including Afghans and Ukrainians—have the support they need to reach their full potential while in Canada."

TORONTO, ONTARIO, September 26, 2017 – The 2018 Lexus GS F pushes the envelope for high performance luxury vehicles. The most powerful V8 sports sedan Lexus has ever built features dramatic performance with style to match, plus unparalleled comfort and refinement.
“The GS F is the luxury sport sedan for those who desire formidable power at their command,” said Jennifer Barron, Director of Lexus in Canada. “Absolutely track-ready – and tested and proven on the world’s most challenging circuits, including the Fuji Speedway that gives this GS its ‘F’ designation – the GS F is ready to leave others in the dust on race weekends, while also being so comfortable and luxurious that it’s perfect for the daily drive.”
The GS F is a performance vehicle first and foremost. Under the hood, an assertive and sophisticated naturally aspirated 5.0 litre V8 delivers up to 467 horsepower. This is coupled to an eight-speed automatic transmission with sport direct shift and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters for finger-tip control and a drive mode select system that lets drivers tailor the GS F’s response to their mood and road conditions.
Power is delivered to the rear axle through a Torque Vectoring Differential, which has been proven on the world’s best race circuits to deliver precise control of rear wheel torque. Drivers may adjust the Torque Vectoring Differential to three operating modes: Standard for a balance of agility and stability, Slalom for emphasis on nimble steering response, and Track to achieve consistent hold during acceleration.
The GS F’s Adaptive Variable Suspension works to absorb vibrations on rough roads, reducing body roll during cornering and maintaining ideal composure during acceleration and hard braking – letting drivers direct the GS F to seamlessly flow from one maneuvre to the next.
Massive Brembo brakes deliver the high-tech stopping power that’s essential in a high-performance luxury vehicle. Tailored specifically to the GS F, these feature six-piston monoblock front calipers and four-piston rear calipers, plus 13.5” rotors with a fast-cooling slotted design, aided by the large vents that bracket the spindle grille.
Curbside, the 2018 GS F is instantly recognizable as an F model. The signature Lexus spindle grille is massive, and finished in a distinctive mesh pattern. It’s bracketed by pronounced air vents, aggressive Premium LED headlamps and L-shaped LED daytime running lights. In profile, the GS F sits low to the ground, a stance emphasized by its 19” wheels. At the rear, stacked quad exhaust diffusers and a carbon fibre rear lip spoiler convey the GS F’s aggressive strength. Other exterior features include heated, power-adjustable and power-folding, auto-dimming side view mirrors, a power tilting/sliding moon roof, power assisted trunk closer, rain-sensing wipers, an auto-levelling headlamp system with headlamp washers, and more.
Inside, the cabin expresses the look and feel of a jet fighter cockpit, embodying high performance in every detail. LED ambient interior lighting sets the scene, while high-back “F” branded front sport seats with perforated leather provide optimum holding performance. Carbon fibre interior trim punctuates the GS F’s aggressive bearing, while aluminum pedals with anti-skid slits ensure solid contact between foot and pedal, even during high-spirited driving.
The GS F is a high-performance sedan – but a luxurious one, too. Driver and passengers enjoy the convenience of intuitive three-zone climate control with the Climate Concierge system, heated seats, and heated steering wheel. Front seats are power adjustable, ventilated, and include a memory system.
The driver-focussed cabin features an advanced instrument panel, including a large, centrally-mounted tachometer, a differential torque vectoring monitor, a G-Force monitor, and a race-inspired gauge display. The Head-Up Display projects real-time information on the lower driver-side windshield, including speed, gear selection, and turn-by-turn navigation. The 12.3” LCD multimedia display presents at-a-glance access to the audio, voice-activated navigation, climate control systems, and more – including the back-up camera. Meantime, the 17-speaker Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound audio system delivers a powerful soundtrack for every drive. Other features include an integrated garage door opener, easy access memory system with push button start, a power rear window sunshade, intuitive parking assist, clearance and backup sensors, and more.
The GS F also delivers high-performance safety, starting with the Lexus Safety System +. This portfolio of active safety technologies – including the pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with lane keep assist, dynamic radar cruise control, and automatic high beam system – supports the driver’s awareness and decision-making under a variety of traffic conditions and contingencies. Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management predicts and helps prevent skids, and operates in four modes – including Expert Mode for drivers who want to hone their drifting skills. Other standard safety technoloiges and systems include the Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, 10 airbags, a direct tire pressure monitoring system with auto location, an onboard first aid kit, and more.
The 2018 Lexus GS F is offered in one, fully-equipped model with a starting MSRP of $98,300.
The 2018 Lexus GS F is now on sale at Lexus Dealers across Canada. For complete and up to date details and specifications, visit http://www.lexus.ca/lexus/en/automobiles/gsf.

Preparations for the introduction of Corona vaccination across the country have intensified. There will be 81 sites in Delhi where Kovid vaccines will be planted. Of these, the Covishield vaccine – developed by Oxford University – will be given at 75 sites. Which will include government and private hospitals. Kovaxin of Bharat Biotech will be given at six sites – all of them centrally run hospitals. Earlier on Thursday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal held a press conference regarding vaccination. Kejriwal had said, ‘On the first day the vaccine will be installed at 81 places. Daily 100 people will be vaccinated at one place.
Kejriwal had said that 8,100 people will get vaccinated every day in the beginning. The vaccine will be installed 4 days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday). Immunization centers will be increased from 81 to 175 in a few days and then to 1000. So far, 2,74,000 vaccines have been received from the central government. Our government is fully prepared for the vaccination of the people of Delhi.
He also said that one person will take two doses. Keeping in mind the wear and tear, the central government is giving 10 percent extra dose. So the doses that have been received are enough for 1,20,000 health workers. 2,40,000 health care workers have been registered in Delhi. We hope that we will get the rest of the vaccine too soon. Except four days a week (the day the vaccine is applied), the rest of the day will be vaccinated against other diseases and we do not want people with other diseases to be disturbed by this vaccine.
Significantly, in the country’s capital Delhi, the havoc of Corona is getting reduced. In the last 24 hours, there were 340 new cases of Corona virus infection, after which the number of infected people increased to 6,31,589. At the same time, in the last 24 hours, 4 more patients died due to this deadly virus, after which the number of deaths increased to 10,722.

In recent years, many efforts have been devoted to reducing vehicles’ energy consumption through optimizing their velocities. However, all previous methods neglect avoiding vehicle collision when calculating vehicles’ optimal velocity profiles. In this paper, we formulate a new problem, called the Collision-Aware vehicle Energy consumption Minimization (CAEM) problem that calculates the optimal velocity profiles which avoid vehicle collision. CAEM is more difficult to solve than the traditional velocity optimization problem that is for a single vehicle, since CAEM needs to take into account the mobility of all the vehicles together to avoid collision. This problem is a convex problem that cannot be directly solved by existing methods. Further, it is impractical to get the mobility information of all vehicles at the beginning. Even if it is feasible, the computation efficiency is very low. We propose a novel method that can tackle these challenges. In order to keep each vehicle velocity as stable as possible to reduce the energy consumption, it builds a light schematic map to help identify the green light time interval of each traffic light in the source-destination route of a vehicle, during which the vehicle must drive through the traffic light. Rather than considering the mobility of all vehicles at a time, it calculates each vehicle’s velocity profile in sequence based on the starting time to prevent the vehicle from colliding with all the previously scheduled vehicles. Finally, CAEM is transformed to non-convex problem and can be solved by existing optimization methods. Simulation and real-world testbed experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of our method over the previous methods.


‘Sun shield’ to save Great Barrier Reef?
“The ‘sun shield’ is 50,000 times thinner than a human hair and completely biodegradable, containing the same ingredient corals use to make their hard skeletons — calcium carbonate,” said Anna Marsden, managing director at Great Barrier Reef Foundation. “It’s designed to sit on the surface of the water above the corals, rather than directly on the corals, to provide an effective barrier against the sun,” she said.
While it is still early days, and the trials have been on a small scale, the testing shows the film reduced light by up to 30%, researchers said.
Scientists tested the effectiveness of the one molecule thick film on seven different coral species in simulated coral bleaching event conditions at the Australian Institute of Marine Science.

Medvezhiy Falls – a popular place for tourist agencies for excursions. Route to it is simple and short, just one kilometer on a well-equipped trail, numerous bridges over the creeks and a wooden staircase built on the rocks before going to the waterfall. The waterfall is located in a deep rocky niche on narrow slope of Karash ridge, where Medvezhiy creek flows out of the Zhambas pass. The waterfall is 29 meters. It's called Medvezhiy because a family of bears lives in this place.

Mozambique Works Toward Transformational Change Through Large-Scale Resilience Building
Mozambique joined the NDC Partnership in 2017 and launched its Partnership Plan in November 2018. The plan outlines climate change priorities of 21 government institutions and has support from 18 development partners. Mozambique is working on transformational changes, including developing large-scale climate-resilience and adaptation investments, renewable energy projects, and a comprehensive MRV system, as well as gender mainstreaming.
ADAPTATION, DISASTER RISK MANAGMENT, AND RESILIENCE BUILDING
Adaptation and resilience-building are key priorities for achieving Mozambique’s national development goals. The country historically suffered from extreme climate events and is working towards building resilience and recovering from recent events. Partnership members were instrumental in providing support and mobilizing resources to support recovery and resilience-building initiatives.
A FOCUS ON THE WATER SECTOR
Following the humanitarian crisis triggered by cyclones Idai and Kenneth in early 2019, the World Bank provided nearly USD200 million in emergency response measures focused on sustainable urban sanitation and water services projects. More generally, the bank invests in disaster prevention and resilience programs across the country. Strengthening Mozambique’s water sector is one priority area that will be achieved with various initiatives aligned with its Partnership Plan, which was approved in November 2018. These initiatives include building flood protection structures, rehabilitating the Corumana dam in southern Mozambique, and expanding clean water access in the Greater Maputo region.
AfDB is another implementing partner engaged in the water sector. From 2018-2022, AfDB committed USD15.5 million to community resilience-building projects in four drought-prone districts, benefiting around 40,000 people. The goal is to empower communities through small-scale irrigation and water harvesting infrastructure, solar-powered water treatment plants, and improved farming practices aimed at reducing food insecurity.
INVESTMENTS FOR LOCAL CLIMATE RESILIENCE
Mozambique is implementing various projects and programs that seek to build local capacity to meet climate change challenges.
One program is the Local Climate Adaptive Living Program (LoCAL) and MERCIM (Building Local Climate Resilience Program in Mozambique), implemented by the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF). LoCAL strengthens adaptive capacity among district authorities through performance-based resilience grants (PBCRGs). LoCAL has led to the financing of several local infrastructure projects prioritized through participatory processes. In addition, through improved planning, budgeting, and investment cycles as well as the integration of PBCRG systems, LoCAL has improved capacities and climate change mainstreaming among local governments.
Mozambique also builds resilience in its coastal zone through ecosystem-based adaptation approaches in the greater Maputo area. Supported by the GEF and UNEP with co-finance from the Government and private sector, this project addresses regional communities’ high level of vulnerability through integrated planning and mainstreaming Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) into policies and plans at national and local levels; implementing tailored EbA solutions at the community level; monitoring impacts; and disseminating EbA good practices. The project recognizes that concerted ecosystem management efforts at all levels contribute substantially to poverty alleviation and gender equality by promoting sustainable livelihoods and climate-resilient economic development.
IMPROVING MRV AND TRANSPARENCY SYSTEM
Mozambique is developing an improved transparency framework to track implementation and inform climate action. A two-year project implemented by ICAT and UNEP DTU Partnership supported Mozambique in strengthening institutional arrangements for its national MRV processes focused on mitigation, including designing and implementing legal frameworks and establishing data collection, reporting, and verification procedures and methodologies. This initiative will also improve the existing ToR for the GIMMC (Climate Change Inter-Institutional Working Group)’s NDC coordination mechanism.
Through the GEF’s Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT), implemented by FAO, Mozambique is strengthening its AFOLU MRV system’s technical and institutional capacities to meet enhanced transparency framework (ETF) requirements and build country capacities to track and assess climate mitigation and adaptation actions. Finally, the country is preparing its Biannual and National Communication Update Report to the UNFCCC, with UNEP support.
Mozambique’s Government is incorporating gender into its enhanced NDC, building off the UNFCCC Gender Action Plan (GAP) and the National Gender Strategy for Environment and Climate Change. The enhanced gender approach orients planning and implementation in sectors critical to the NDC, including health, disaster risk reduction, coastal management, and agriculture. WRI provides technical support to analyze Mozambique’s NDC against existing frameworks and to make recommendations on gender responsiveness. This support will be added to UNDP gender support through Climate Promise.
Members supporting Mozambique: AFD; AfDB; Belgium; the European Union; FAO; Germany (through GIZ and KfW); GGGI; ICLEI; IFAD; ILO; JICA; the Netherlands; Spain; Sweden; UNCDF; UNDP; UNEP; USAID; the World Bank; WFP; WHO; WRI; and WWF.

Over the course of 14 months, 34-year-old German adventurer Jonas Deichmann circumnavigated the world in a self-supported Triathlon 360. From battling rough seas in the Adriatic, to cycling through blizzards in Siberia and running long days in the heat of Mexico, he did the equivalent of 120 IRONMAN races in 429 days.
460km & 54 days, Karlobag to Dubrovnik, Croatian Coast
Jonas set off from Munich on 26 September 2020 and spent five days cycling to northern Croatia, where he started the swim leg of his Triathlon 360 at Karlobag.
The swim was the toughest part of the challenge says Jonas, who carried basic essential gear with him in a small raft attached to his wetsuit. "Swimpacking is a pretty miserable discipline: tough in the water but also on shore with an almost impossible logistic and extreme exposure to the forces of nature. But the hardest moments are also the best memories," he says.
It was a lonely leg, out in the Adriatic Sea for hours at a time, and he had open chafe wounds and inflammation from the saltwater exposure, as well as from a calorie deficit because he couldn't eat in the water when the sea was rough.
"I usually swam along the shore, but sometimes I had to swim to a peninsula or island, and I'd have to cross 7-8km of open sea. At day five or six in the water, I miscalculated. There was some current, so it took me longer to get where I was going. It got dark and I was still 3km from the shore. For someone who is not a swimmer, out there in the open sea, and it is pitch black, I was feeling that I shouldn't be there."
17 000km & 180 days, Dubrovnik to Vladivostok, Russia
The first part of the bike leg took Jonas from Dubrovnik to Istanbul, where his journey ground to a halt in December. With many borders closed due to the pandemic, it seemed he wouldn't be able to get a visa to enter Russia and head east to the Pacific Ocean. Not to be deterred, he spent some weeks bikepacking around southern Turkey until a visa was approved and he could take up his journey again.
Jonas crossed the Ukraine border into a snowy Russia in March 2021, where he started the grueling 10 000km trek that would take him across Siberia to arrive in Vladivostok in mid-May.
"Cycling across Russia in winter and spring was an amazing way to have an absolutely miserable time," he says. He cycled in blizzards across snow and ice, and through plenty of mud and water as spring brought milder temperatures. "Spring was the worst, when the temperature was around 0 degrees C during the day and -15 degrees C at night, because your clothes get wet and you sleep in the wet cold after that. In the morning, your cycling shoes are frozen. I also had massive mechanical problems with my bottom bracket. I had to change it twice and also had to pee on my bike a few times to unfreeze the chain."
5 060km in 117 days, Tijuana to Cancun, Mexico
From Vladivostok, Jonas flew to Mexico for the run leg that would take him the length of the country. He set off from the US border wall in Tijuana on 10 June 2021 for what would be approximately a marathon a day for 117 days. Along the way he went through 11 pairs of running shoes, lost 8kg and became a national celebrity.
He describes it as the most joyful leg of his journey. "When I ran across Baja California it was pretty lonely, and I was camping every night by myself. When I crossed over to the mainland, there was a dog from the streets who followed me for 130km. I first tried to get rid of the dog, because I was running through cities, but she was sleeping in front of my tent and waiting for me. I gave an interview on TV and I looked for someone to adopt her, and Mexico is such a crazy place that she got adopted and a reception from the mayor of the next city. The next day I was also on the news as the German Forrest Gump. After that I was never alone. The next day there were 20 people running with me, and after that sometimes as many as 100."
The Final Bike Leg
4 000km in 29 days, Lisbon to Munich
After a hero's welcome in Cancun, Jonas flew to Portugal for the final stretch of his circumnavigation around the world. Reunited with his bike, 'Esposa' in Lisbon, he set off at the end of October crossing Spain, France and Switzerland en route to Germany, where he arrived at the end of November.
"After 429 days on the road and a distance of 120 x IRONMAN accross 18 countires I am back in Munich where it all began September last year. It has been an incredible adventure with so many ups and downs but for now I am just very happy to have finished." he said on his arrival.

There is, most likely, no high school goaltender in Minnesota who would be opposed to recording a 36-save shutout victory over Eden Prairie.
Edina’s Connor Girard certainly doesn’t mind.
“I’ll take it,” Girard said with a laugh.
The senior goaltender stopped everything that was thrown at him as the Hornets defeated the Eagles 3-0 on Thursday, Feb. 3, at the Eden Prairie Community Center.
“My defense helped me out a lot,” Girard said. “They let me see the puck and kept the guys to the outside, and when they do that, the rebounds take care of themselves.”
Girard made several saves against Eden Prairie star forward Kyle Rau and the rest of the high-powered Eagles’ offense.
“We just need to bury our opportunities,” Eden Prairie coach Lee Smith said. “We had a lot of ‘Grade A’ chances early and we don’t put them away it gives (Girard) confidence and he plays well. Girard kept getting better and better and feeling it.”
The shutout was not only Girard’s second of the season but also his second straight.
“He played extremely well,” Edina coach Curt Giles said. “When Connor is playing well, he makes it look easy. Tonight was a tough game but he made the good saves and he made the saves he was supposed to make. He neutralized everything.”
Girard has not allowed a goal in 112 minutes and 56 seconds, since the third period of the Hornets' Saturday, Jan. 22, game against Minnetonka. He made 22 saves to shut out Totino-Grace 5-0 on Saturday, Jan. 29 – Girard did not play against Cretin-Derham Hall (Jan. 25) or Hopkins (Jan. 27).
Even with his recent success, Girard is not getting ahead of things.
“We’re pretty pumped, but we’ll get back to work tomorrow,” Girard said. “Of course we’re happy but we have work to do. Gotta love this confidence, and every night is going to be a battle but in the end I think tonight will help us a lot.”

With scoreless first and second periods, the Thursday, Feb. 3, game between Edina and Eden Prairie was literally up for grabs heading into the third period.
“Going into an away barn (between the second and third) and you’re rivals; zero-zero, can’t ask for anything better,” Edina’s Jake Sampson said. “You just can’t ask for anything better than a zero-zero game.”
Sampson may not have asked for a game-winning goal, but it’s exactly what he got.
“We couldn’t get it set up in the zone at first so I was just floating up the blue line waiting for a breakout and I was like, ‘Come on, let’s go, let’s go, let’s get it set up’ so I could do my job and sit in front,” Sampson said. “Then we had a nice break out. Michael Sit came flying down the boards, went around the net and threw it in front. I think it went off my shin pads, off the goalie’s pad and then it was just sitting there.
“I just banged it home.”
Sampson may have had the best view in the house as the game-winning goal came with several skaters crowded in front of the net.
“I couldn’t see anything,” Edina coach Curt Giles said. “It was just a scramble in front of the net and Jake (Sampson) went to the net hard and shoveled it in.
“Usually that’s what happens in a game like this. There’s a close contest like this game was, and what ends up happening is that you end up with a shot and a rebound laying around like that and traditionally that’s what happens.”
The power-play goal gave the Hornets a lead they wouldn’t lose and gave an extra boost of confidence to their goaltender, Connor Girard, who made 36 saves for the 3-0 shutout victory.
“It was nice to get that first one but with 6 minutes left and Eden Prairie on the other side we had to keep working,” Girard said. “We did that and we got the second one. I think it was just a testament to the team and how hard we worked.”
“It was late in the game, it was a big goal and it was a low-scoring game so one goal could be the difference,” Sampson said. “We tried to play defensively the rest of the game and win it.”
Sampson has six points (two goals, four assists) in his last four games and can tell his game is starting to heat up.
“Playing with Michael Sit and Steven Fogarty helps,” Sampson said. “I think we click pretty well and we’re playing well together.”

It’s no secret that Eden Prairie and Edina are rivals.
The two teams were not fans of each other prior to this season, and now with both teams competing in the same conference the matchup is an all-out battle.
There was another matchup on the ice, however, within the big game: the battle of several Division I recruits and in particular, a single one-on-one battle stood out.
Eden Prairie’s Kyle Rau against Edina’s Max Everson.
“I really got a kick out of was the one-on-one with Max (Everson) and (Kyle) Rau,” Edina coach Curt Giles said. “Two of the best kids in the state of Minnesota in high school hockey going at it right there, one-on-one. That (Kyle) Rau is just a fabulous player. He works hard, he’s strong, he’s got great balance and I think that Max has played as well as anyone in the state of Minnesota.
“Those two kids going at it was pretty fun to watch.”
For next season, Rau has committed to Minnesota and Everson has committed to Harvard. Both players also participated in the Upper Midwest High School Elite Hockey League this past fall and Everson spent time playing for the U.S. National Development Team Program’s U-18 team in Ann Arbor, Mich. as well.
For this round in high school, it seems as though Everson won the battle as Rau was kept off the score sheet.
“You just gotta be ready for anything with (Rau),” Everson said. “When he’s got speed and hands like that, nothing is out of reach for him. Whether he’s just going to shoot it and put it in from the outside or if he’s going to try and beat you through the middle, you just gotta be prepared. You have to make sure you’re in good position, have your head on a swivel, just the basics and make sure that’s all solid.”
Although the Everson-on-Rau matchup was seen frequently, Giles admitted that was not the game plan.
“We don’t design taking Kyle Rau out of the game,” Giles said. “That’s the ultimate goal – to keep him off the score sheet – but we don’t design a plan where we shadow him or play somebody against him. We just have to really be aware when he’s on the ice. He’s such a special player. It’s best if he doesn’t have the puck, if you think about it. If he doesn’t have the puck it’s kind of nice, life’s a little easier. But we didn’t have a real plan to do something like that.”
With sub-zero temperatures outside, things were definitely heating up in the Eden Prairie Community Center.
The rivalry game between Edina and Eden Prairie provided thrills as the two teams battled it out with each other.
“It’s Eden Prairie and Edina,” Edina goaltender Connor Girard said. “It’s always a bitter rivalry. We’re good friends off the ice but on the ice it’s the other way.”
Things escalated with 37 seconds remaining as Edina’s Michael Sit and Eden Prairie’s Dan Molenaar tussled near center ice.
“We got some feisty players on our team, as do they,” Edina defenseman Max Everson said. “There was round one last game so I was actually expecting that at some point. We don’t like each other when we’re on the ice, it’s as simple as that. We’re friends off the ice, but on the ice we play each other enough times where you get sick of them and sick of their antics.
“Sometimes the fuse runs a little low and stuff like that happens.”
Everson may not have been the only one anticipating some chippy play.
“When we’re playing Eden Prairie, every game is going to be a battle,” Edina’s Jake Sampson said. “I know like half the guys pretty well and it just fuels the competition. You want it even more.”
In total, there were 51 penalty minutes in the Lake Conference matchup.
“We’ve had some trouble with stuff like that,” Everson said. “You can just look at the stat sheets and you can easily tell, discipline has to be there because otherwise it’s going to hurt us in the long run. It makes it interesting for the fans, I’m sure, and riles up the crowd and everything but there’s no need for that.
“You can’t fight in high school, there’s no point. You can’t fight so hit them clean or forget it and keep playing. Actually the first game I got involved in that. It’s really easy to stand here and tell you, you gotta forget it. You just gotta be smart.”
Edina coach Curt Giles was not impressed with the emotional explosion at the end of the game.
“That’s too bad,” Giles said. “Stuff like that happens but all of those kids are competitive. They worked hard tonight and sometimes frustrations get to a certain level where stuff like that happens. It’s too bad it had to happen but nobody got hurt.”
Although the Hornets made it clear that they are good off-ice friends with the Eagles, don’t expect them to exchange text messages anytime soon.
“No, that will be a little later,” Sampson said.

Question: That was a Lake Conference battle that saw hard hits, a lot of action, and goals that were hard to come by. What was this game like from your perspective?
Answer: We knew it was going to be a tough game. When you come into this building you know you’re in for a game every year, every time. I thought the kids played well. They stuck with the game plan, they worked hard defensively. They got into a little trouble with penalties in the first period and had us running around a little bit but we played well.
Q: How talented is this Eden Prairie team?
A: I thought they played extremely well, too. They got a very good hockey team. I still consider them one of the top teams in the state, there’s no question about that. We did coming into it and we do leaving the building.
Q: What was the game plan for tonight?
A: We just wanted to make sure that as a team we played well defensively, we wanted to forecheck smartly, backcheck smartly and just work hard. That’s what we got tonight.
Q: What does a win like this do for the Hornets that are bouncing back from some tough losses a couple weeks ago?
A: I think we’re getting better and that’s what we strive for. Hopefully we can take this as something to move forward and make that step on the ladder to get better. The ultimate goal: we all know what that is. It’s a tough month and it’s a good month of good competition but we just want to continue as a team and continue to get better.
Question: You lost senior forward Des Shavlik to an injury early in the first period. Was it difficult to adjust the forward lines?
Answer: It was a combination of that and we lose Mason Bergh right away. So we lose two guys and we’re down to eight forwards for the first period. Then we have penalties to kill so we have to overplay the Raths and the Raus and (Luc) Gerdes. But what do you say? You give Edina credit. They were opportunistic, they played well defensively - we didn’t get too many second shot opportunities - and that’s what they do well.
Q: What were some of the positives Eden Prairie is looking to take away from this game?
A: We had the puck for most of the game. They came out and got us early and we responded really well the last two periods. I don’t know if the right team won tonight but the team that was opportunistic, played hard and played smart, they did win.
Q: What was this hard-fought rivalry game in your opinion?
A: I think it was a late season tune-up. We take away from it that we still need to keep getting better. There’s some areas that we’re not there yet. One area is that we need to play more disciplined. People are going to hook us and slash us and we all just have to suck it up and play.
1. Connor Girard, Edina
It's easy to tell when a goaltender is 'in the zone' because the scoreboard for the opposing team isn't very high. In this case, the scoreboard for the Eagles read '0' as Girard recorded his second consecutive shutout - the other shutout coming Jan. 29, against Totino-Grace. The senior goaltender made 36 brilliant saves and surrendered very few - if any - rebounds during the heated rivalry game. Girard has not allowed a goal in 112 minutes, 56 seconds (since Minnetonka senior forward Connor Ryan scored against him at the 6:04 mark of the third period during the Saturday, Jan. 22, game).
2. Jake Sampson, Edina
There may have been 5:42 left in the game but Sampson's third period power-play goal set the tone for the remainder of the contest. The senior forward pounded in a juicy rebound in front of the net that proved to be the game-winner for the Hornets.
3. Ben Walker, Edina
Speed is the name of the game for Ben Walker. The speedy junior forward created several chances and capitalized on a three-on-one for the Hornets, rocketing a wrist shot top shelf that provided insurance as his goal game just 3:21 after Sampson's game-winner.

Edina scored three goals in the last six minutes of the third period and Connor Girard made 36 saves as the Hornets defeated Eden Prairie 3-0 on Thursday, Feb. 3, at the Eden Prairie Community Center.
Jake Sampson provided the first goal for the Hornets on the power play with 5:42 left in the final frame and teammate Ben Walker added an insurance goal 3:21 later. Bo Brauer finished off the Edina scoring with an empty net goal with 1:36 remaining in the game.
Girard was stellar as he faced nine Eden Prairie power plays and kept the Eagles off the score sheet. The senior goaltender was peppered with 10 shots or more each period.
Andrew Ford made 17 saves for the Eagles and Eden Prairie's Kyle Rau was held off the score sheet for the second consecutive game against the Hornets.
Edina will continue Lake Conference play on Saturday, Feb. 5, when they travel to Plymouth Ice Center to take on Wayzata for a 2:30 p.m. game.
Eden Prairie look to rebound from the loss as they host Buffalo on Saturday, Feb. 5, at 3 p.m.

USDA – Special Import Quota #24 for Upland Cotton – The Department of Agriculture’s Commodity Credit Corporation announced a special import quota for upland cotton that permits importation of a quantity of upland cotton equal to one week’s domestic mill use. The quota will be established on July 31, 2014 allowing importation of 14,741,821 kilograms (67,709 bales) of upland cotton. Quota number 24 will be established as of July 31 and will apply to upland cotton purchased not later than October 28, 2014, and entered into the U.S. not later than January 26, 2015. The quota is equivalent to one week’s consumption of cotton by domestic mills at the seasonally-adjusted average rate for the period March 2014 through May 2014, the most recent three months for which data are available. Future quotas, in addition to the quantity announced, will be established if price conditions warrant.
Widespread showers and thunderstorms brought locally heavy rainfall to areas from Alabama to the coastal Carolinas throughout the period. Weekly accumulated precipitation totals measured one to four inches as a low pressure system lingered over the region and produced afternoon downpours accompanied at times by strong wind. Lighter, scattered rainfall was received in central North Carolina and Virginia. Despite the extensive rainfall, abnormally dry patches expanded in portions of central Alabama and south Georgia that missed recent rain events.
An unusually strong cold front dipped into the south and moderated temperatures throughout the region. Record cool daytime highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s were observed in several areas. The balance of the crop was squaring across the region and boll setting advanced at a rapid pace. Producers scouted fields for boll injury from stink bugs and applied spray treatments in fields where damage was detected. Pressure from aphids, plant bugs, and spider mites appeared to decline. Normal applications of growth regulators were being applied to fields in all areas.

American Pima (AP) Spot cotton trading was inactive. Supplies and demand were light. Average local prices were steady. No forward contracting or domestic mill activity was reported. Interest was best from India for prompt shipment. Inquiries and sales for 2014-crop cotton were slow, due to concern for yield potential and producersÂ’ willingness to wait for prices until new-crop enters marketing channels. Shippers were busy shipping cotton against previous sales.
The crop made good progress in Yuma, Arizona. Some early-planted fields approached cut-out stage. Bottom bolls were cracking open. Construction on the new roller gin in Coolidge, Arizona continued. The gin building was up and equipment was installed. The gin will have six roller stands. Some producers were planning to gin a light volume of upland through the new gin. Several field locations throughout the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) reached peak bloom. Insect pressures were minimal and easily controlled. Boll counts were conducted in the region. Lack of water continued to be a major concern for the SJV. Next yearÂ’s planting plans depend on available rainfall and snow pack in October through December.


Arup’s team provided mechanical and electrical engineering and specialist lighting design for a new stand, office building and permanent floodlighting in collaboration with Maber Architects. The construction was completed within a tight closed-season schedule.
The new stand on the Bridgford Road side of the ground, and addition of seats elsewhere, increased the ground’s capacity from 15,358 to more than 17,000.
New facilities also include an office block for officials and staff and a new replay screen area.
Arup provided the design of the mechanical and electrical services, including upgrading the electrical infrastructure. The firm’s experts also assisted Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club with acoustic and modelling for the stand, and communications advice for the replay screen.
Arup’s lighting designers were appointed to design permanent floodlighting. Six floodlights were designed, and detailed analysis of lighting pollution to surrounding residential areas carried out. This helped achieve a successful planning application for the ground developments.
Works were successfully completed during the period following the 2008 cricket season, ready for an international test match the following summer.
The expanded Trent Bridge provides world-leading facilities for cricket players and spectators, and one of the best facilities in the world for allowing twenty20 cricket to be played outside of daylight hours.

Abstract: Collections of soluble and insoluble particles made by sublimation techniques from small pieces of polar ice are well suited for microscopic and microchemical analysis. Examination of an 89-cm vertical profile of a polar ice core from a depth of 100 m at Site 2, Greenland, indicated no seasonal cycle in the abundance of particles > 2 μm in diameter. Microchemical spot tests made on individual particles indicated the presence of NH4+, K+, Ca++, Na+, and Cl-. Whole filter spot tests for K+ indicated no systematic variation in the concentration of potassium-bearing particles. Approximately 4% of the particles > 2 μm in the ice studied were soluble salts of Na+, K+, Mg++, and Ca++. The concentrations of Na+, K+, Mg++, and Ca++ were measured in melted fractions of the same core profile by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Variation of the K+ concentration and variation of the number of potassium-bearing particles per gram of ice have a correlation coefficient of 0.93 over the 2 and 1/2 years of accumulation studied.

This seed is becoming mainstream, due to its versatility, health benefits and subtle, nutty flavour
By Sydnee Bryant | April 8, 2014
Every year a new “superfood” is declared – one so healthy and nutritious that we tell ourselves eating it will wipe our food-sin slates clean. While the “superfood” tag may be a bit of an exaggeration, there are certain foods that undeniably pack nutritional punches – and add healthy and delicious twists to our usual diets. While quinoa has quietly gained traction over the years, it is now popping up everywhere, in one form or another.
It is traditionally grown in high, dry elevations, especially on the slopes of the Andes – Peru is the largest supplier and consumer of quinoa in the world. But, the National Agrarian University in Peru recently found two species of quinoa that will adapt to growing in a coastal climate, due to their shorter-than-usual growing cycles. But, for now, quinoa’s finicky nature means that supply currently remains lower than demand, keeping it a hot – and expensive -commodity.
Quinoa is often mistaken for a grain, but is actually considered a seed, one that grows in tightly packed clusters on tall stems. Chefs and foodies generally use it as a meat supplement or substitute in dishes because it is a complete protein, meaning it has all nine amino acids humans need to survive.
Rylan Krause, chef at Noorish, uses quinoa in his Whirling Dervish salad, a colourful, Moroccan-inspired dish that combines red, golden and black quinoa with dried fruit, onion and a basil mint dressing. “Because quinoa is a complete protein, it’s a really healthy, full food source option for us to have. Plus we like the way it tastes,” says Krause.
He uses quinoa as a base in the Laughing Buddha’s Bowl, a green curry dish. “It operates basically in the same way as rice.” Krause also grinds quinoa down to make a flour and uses it instead of bread crumbs to form the crust on the Pacha Mama’s mac n’ cheese. “It’s seasoned with paprika, so it is a smoky, earthy crust and it’s a little bit herby,” he says.
This little pseudo-cereal – it belongs to plant species goosefoot, not the grass family – is showing up in salads on other menus all over town. Sabzy Persian Grill mixes quinoa in with its tabouli salad, while Upper Crust Cafe sells a quinoa salad with pecans, cranberries, parsley, celery and a vinaigrette. The staff says, while they don’t have it every day, quinoa is quite popular when it is available.
At Naan-o-licious, the quinoa twist is a hit, says manager Jabed Hossain. “People really like quinoa in their salads, so we sell that more than the curry.” The restaurant uses red quinoa, mixed with tomatoes and lemon, and it sits overnight to let the flavour really develop. The restaurant is currently working on a new menu and is considering adding more items with quinoa, says Hossain, including more salads and appetizers.
But this nutty-tasting super seed can be used for more than just salads. Jeff Jackson, executive chef at Sorrentino’s downtown location, places a Portobello mushroom on a bed of red quinoa, sauted spinach, basil jam, balsamic reduction and ricotta salad. “The quinoa is really earthy so it matches with the mushroom and spinach,” Jackson explains. “It’s also celiac friendly and we get a lot of guests that come in with that specific allergy. And lots of vegetarians like quinoa.”
He also appreciates quinoa for its health benefits – it’s full of dietary fibre, iron, potassium, magnesium and calcium, among other nutrients. While white and golden quinoa are generally seen as the most common kinds of quinoa, Jackson prefers the nutty, sweet taste of red quinoa.
What about people who are wary of trying this tiny seed that can be boiled or prepared in a rice cooker? Krause advises just taking the plunge. “It’s one of those extremely popular foods right now, but we do have some customers who come in and are unfamiliar with it,” he says. “They usually end up liking it.”

ADHD vs. Anxiety: How Do You Tell the Difference?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and anxiety are two mental health disorders that can be difficult to differentiate between. Because the two diagnoses often mirror each other in terms of signs and symptoms, you may often wonder what is causing your symptoms – ADHD or anxiety. There are slight differences between the two as each mental health disorder has its own set of unique symptoms, and we can aid in helping to spot the difference between these two.
One of the main similarities between ADHD and anxiety is that patients will often experience difficulties with concentration and focus, and the ability to show sustained attention. About one quarter to one third of children and adults with ADHD have also been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. For this reason, it is important for mental health professionals to consider that anxiety and ADHD often coexist with each other, so each patient’s treatment should be specifically tailored to each case.
As told above, patients with anxiety disorders may present with complaints of difficulty concentrating, but what makes it different from those suffering with ADHD is that these patients typically only experience concentration difficulties in situations or settings that cause them to feel anxious. Individuals with anxiety disorders may feel fearful or anxious for many reasons or report feeling like they are in a constant state of worry or fear.
As previously mentioned, patients with ADHD may have complications with concentrating and keeping focus. Unlike individuals with anxiety disorders, patients with ADHD may report concentration difficulties in settings or situations where they are not experiencing anxiety. Individuals with ADHD may get anxious, but often report that their anxiousness stems from struggles related to their ADHD diagnosis, which includes prioritizing, planning, starting or finishing tasks.
Another way to effectively distinguish between ADHD and anxiety is to consider the onset of attention and focus difficulty symptoms. According to the CDC addressing the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, several instances of inattention or hyperactivity are present before the age of 12 years old. There are some instances in which ADHD symptoms are not recognized until later in life, however, these patients should be further questioned about their childhood history to decide when the onset of ADHD symptoms occurred (Brown, 2018).
In addition to timing the onset of symptoms, ADHD and anxiety disorders can be further distinguished by the presence of deficits in executive function. Executive function can be defined as mental skills that are critical to everyday survival, such as memory, flexible thinking and self-control. Executive function allows us to organize our behavior in ways that will allow us to reach future goals. Individuals with ADHD typically have reduced executive function, in contrast to those who suffer from anxiety disorders. In individuals with ADHD, this reduced executive function can lead to problems with memory, problem-solving, organization and regulation of emotions.
If you or someone you know is having difficulty with some of the symptoms listed and believe that ADHD may be a problem instead of anxiety, we at iTrust can certainly help. Getting help is as easy as filling out our quick self-referral form under the “book an appointment” tab on our website. You will be treated quickly and comprehensively, as our patients do not typically wait any longer than 1-2 weeks for an appointment. Getting the proper diagnosis as quickly as possible will help maximize treatment outcomes.
Proper and prompt diagnosis and treatment of both ADHD and anxiety are important in improving the quality of life for patients who suffer from these disorders, which is why increasing the understanding of how these two disorders differ is imperative.

This 44' album was built around edits of music from the areas of post-punk, 60s jazz, contemporary classical, soundtrack, dub reggae, and 90s trip-hop and electronica, to which I've added bass and percussion. My methodology follows that used in my post-punk tribute piece Dirt Behind The Daydream (2021). The difference being the addition of my own playing to the mix.
Thinking about that tribute last year, I wondered what it might be like to compose an album's worth of pieces in the same vein. After making a large cache of edits, and drawing from used and unused edits from Dirt Behind The Daydream, I began assembling the music with no preconceived plan, other than to combine material and see where it lead me, letting the working process suggest ways forward. Often, listening to music at home, certain moments stood out as potentially useful and I made more edits and stitched these into the evolving work, using them as either initial springboards or further elements to flesh out existing tracks.
Many analogies can be used to describe the compositional process, from painting and sculpting to cooking and gardening. But I prefer a surgical analogy, where material is deftly grafted from various sources and painstakingly sutured into new combinations, with rough edges smoothed out and finessed. The music takes on a new life that moves mellifluously through a series of disparate moments and acoustic spaces which are further unified with live playing. The source materials interconnect and refract off each other in a psychedelic series of associations and memory triggers, propelled through sympathetic melodies, matched tempos and dynamic shifts.
The track titles are derived from the source material, using an anagram process to create a series of words and phrases which are then further edited and recombined or partially stripped. Sometimes this process suggests other words and phrases not connected with the original deck-shuffling of the source material. The conjugation of source material and its various cross-hatchings and combinations is such that it would be impossible to reverse-engineer the titles to arrive back at the original sources. Not that it matters anyway. It's merely a way of generating titles/identities organically from source, whilst forming suggestive portals into imaginative spaces and readings.
