Angling for the precise dosage… Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Brittany Vain ensure the exact dosage of COVID-19 vaccine is readied as she takes part in providing the vaccination at Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Bremerton, Dec. 29, 2020. Vain, along with precentive medicine technicians and others administered initial doses of the vaccine to frontline health care workers, along with other first responders, emergency medical services personnel, security forces, and other essential workers. An initial shipment of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine that received emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration arrived at NMRTC Bremerton on Dec. 22, 2020, with vaccinations starting the day after. In conjunction with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Defense (DoD) distribution plan for administering the vaccine at military medical treatment facilities like NMRTC Bremerton calls for prioritizing through a phased approach to vaccinate all active duty and reserve components, TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Select beneficiaries, and select DoD civilians and contract personnel authorized to receive immunizations from DoD (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).
For as long as I can remember I have been a top notch listmaker and prioritizer. Seems with all the things going on in the last few months this little strategy has slipped away from me. So this morning I sat down with a nice hot fresh pressed Cup o Joe and got back on the horse, starting with my new favorite thing of course. My dolls.

Belize City, Belize, 31 March 2021 (PAHO/WHO) - Belize today received 33,600 doses of COVID-19 vaccines through the COVAX Facility, a global effort between the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance Gavi, UNICEF, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
The arrival marks a historic step toward ensuring the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines worldwide, in the largest vaccine procurement and supply operation in history. This delivery is part of the first phase of deliveries for Belize, and more vaccines are expected to arrive successively during 2021. According to the first round of COVAX allocations, Belize is expected to continue receiving doses until it reaches 100,800, the amount specified by COVAX.
PAHO’s Revolving Fund, which is responsible for the procurement of COVID-19 vaccines for the countries of the Americas under the COVAX Mechanism, sent 33,600 doses of the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine, manufactured by SK Bioscience of South Korea. The vaccines arrived today at the Phillip Goldson International Airport (PGIA).
“The arrival of the vaccines through COVAX is very encouraging as it means that more people will now be able to be protected from COVID-19,” said Dr. Noreen Jack, PAHO/WHO Representative in Belize. “We will continue to work with the Ministry of Health and Wellness and the country to support vaccination along with the known public health and social measures that can help stop the spread of COVID-19, protect health services, and save lives.”
These first vaccines will serve to protect priority groups and those most at risk, such as health workers, older adults, persons with special conditions (cancer, HIV & requiring dialysis), as well as persons in the other vaccine distribution phases in Belize.
Hon. Michel Chebat, Minister of the Ministry of Health and Wellness expressed how grateful he was for this delivery that will add to the vaccines that we already have.
“We extend appreciation for the team effort coordinated through our partners, PAHO/WHO, UNICEF and IDB for negotiating, purchasing, and handling the shipment logistics on behalf of Belize and the other 36 countries participating in COVAX,” said Minister Chebat. “This was our only hope for a long time to ensure that the people of Belize get vaccines and now we can celebrate the arrival today.”
Since the first case of COVID-19 was reported in 2020, the country has recorded 12,452 cases and 317 deaths as a result of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (as of 30 March 2021).
“Today’s arrival of the first COVAX shipment marks another milestone for the children of Belize who have been the silent victims of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Alison Parker, Representative for UNICEF Belize. “The past year has plunged Belize into a humanitarian and socio-economic crisis upending the lives of societies, communities and families, especially children. As over 108,000 children prepare to return to the classrooms in the upcoming months, the arrival of the vaccines advances us one step closer to creating a post-COVID environment that is safe for children to return to schools and regain a sense of security and normalcy. It is also a signal of the commitment of the Government and partners like the COVAX, inclusive of UNICEF, to prioritize mobilizing required resources to afford Belizeans optimal health care and protection in response to this crisis. Accelerating vaccination coverage is critical to stabilizing the social and economic impact of COVID-19 and rebuilding Belize, and UNICEF is proud to be part of this national effort in the interest of Belize’s children.”
COVAX seeks to provide vaccines for at least 20% of the population of each participating country during 2021. In this first round of vaccine allocation, all COVAX participating countries will receive doses to vaccinate between 2.2 and 2.6% of their population. The only exceptions are small island developing States, which will receive an allocation of vaccines to cover between 16 and 20% of their population, due to the high logistical cost of delivering small quantities of vaccines.
“Expanding access to vaccines is vital for overcoming the pandemic and its detrimental effects on the life of people and the economy,” said Birgit Gerstenberg, Resident Coordinator of United Nations Belize. “Its progress is crucial in order to get back to the path of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, in particular, poverty reduction, food security for all, universal health coverage, decent work and so much more. Thanks to science and technology, the newly developed COVID-19 vaccines are made available in record time and poised to be a powerful tool in the control of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic. The public’s confidence in, and willingness to receive the vaccines will determine the outcome of this mass-scale public health intervention. The United Nations Country Team has been working tirelessly this past year to provide as much support to the Government of Belize in facing the consequences of the pandemic and helping those most at-risk. Let us continue to confront the pandemic and take all measures of mitigation at our reach. Stay at home when you are sick, wear a mask when among others, practice social distancing and when eligible, receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. Consider it a measure that may save lives as only together, we will build back better.”
Until vaccination is widespread among the population, basic public health measures remain the basis of the pandemic response. For public health authorities, this means continuing to conduct screening, contact tracing, isolation, assisted quarantine, and quality care. And for people, it means continuing to practice physical distancing, hand hygiene, the use of masks, adequate ventilation of indoor environments, and avoidance of crowded spaces.
“Today is a bright day in the year-ling fight against COVID-19, said Nicolaus Hansmann, Team Leader of the European Union Technical Office in Belize. “With the arrival of these vaccines under the multi-actor global collaboration, COVAX, we are getting closer to the goal of bringing the virus under control. As one of the lead partners of COVAX, contributing over 2.2 billion Euros, the European Union and its Member States are proud of its role in ensuring equitable access to vaccines for people everywhere.”
COVAX, the vaccines pillar of the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator, is co-led by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance Gavi) and the World Health Organization (WHO) – working in partnership with UNICEF as key implementing partner, as well as civil society organisations, vaccine manufacturers, the World Bank, and others. In the Americas, the PAHO Revolving Fund is the recognized procurement agent for the COVAX facility.

What a dream come true it was to have all the 2003 Slumber Party girls to make this photo happen! Usually there is a doll or two holding me back from taking a line photo, when it comes to these old collections. However, I have taken full advantage of M.G.A.'s reissues. I can't always find them on sale, so sometimes I am still missing important dolls/components from a set. But I prioritized this Slumber Party line because I always wanted it as a kid. I actually had pretty good luck finding the original 2003 dolls in the wild the first few years I was collecting again. Yasmin was my first ever used Bratz doll I owned! She is the gal in this particular photo. The reason I wanted the reissue of her was because my doll was missing quite a few accessories and her hair was burn damaged at the front of her head. Meygan is also the old school version--I got her in 2011 from a Craigslist lot with tons of her fixings. I've had the most luck acquiring extra pieces of her clothes. Though I only ever managed to get one version of the doll herself...that was until the reissues were released. She's in great shape, but I definitely wanted the rereleased doll so I could display the second outfit. The slumber party themed shelf in my Barbie dollhouse is one of my favorite Bratz displays! My sister spent a lot of time setting these girls up with an array of their accessories. I'm still missing a few bits and bobs, but there was plenty to fill out a photo. It was also a fun excuse to use my new Lip Couch, my childhood Beauty Bed, and the Chill-Out Lounge I got at the Salvation Army years ago. It's actually missing a leg--I had to make one out of dowel and paint it silver so I could use it.
I am so immensely grateful to have all these beautiful girls and fantastic outfits! I was missing Sasha's main look for years, which is part of why I tracked down the reissue of her first (and my 2003 girl is one of my most sentimental dolls in my collection). I remember drooling over these girls in stores as a kid. I'm not sure why I never asked my dad for one. He was always pretty willing to buy me a Bratz doll back then, even if they were expensive. I was always so excited about them, I guess it made Dad happy to get me Bratz dolls. I still can't deny I'd love to find original versions of at least one of these dolls boxed someday (to open, obviously), since the reissues were simplified. But I have to say M.G.A. did a fantastic job replicating dolls and accessories that were designed over twenty years ago. They have the same quality and vibe as the originals, with a few minor tweaks. Cloe, Sasha, and Jade blend in seamlessly with the original girls in this photo...you wouldn't know they were two decades newer. Meygan is technically the 2002 issue by the way. M.G.A. repackaged her for both the 2002 and 2003 waves. But the 2002 dolls don't have holes in their slippers (the holes were added in 2003 after the introduction of the Formal Funk Super Stylin' Runway Disco, which had peg boards for the dolls to "dance" on).

NTRODUCTION: In 1994, ArcelorMittal has outlined guidelines for the Environment, in line with its policy. It prioritizes projects that focused on the knowledge of environmental aspects and impacts, as well as its monitoring and mitigation, the reduction of resources and improvement of process efficiency, protection, conservation and restoration of biodiversity and community integration, within this last theme was created Regular Environmental Education Program.
OBJECTIVES: (1) Promoting activities of individual and collective local actions to contribute to the conservation and preservation of the environment, (2) Cooperate with the school of Regional Schools, (3) Recognize the importance of socio-economic and environmental natural and planted forests, (4) Understand the importance of rational use of natural resources and biodiversity.
METHODOLOGY: Implementation of an Environmental Education Center where works are developed on a regular basis, in partnership with the Regional Superintendent of Education and the School District and State and the Municipality of Carbonita. A regular program of environmental education is carried out with students from the 7th year of the respective municipality due to: the curriculum content of the sixth grade, the age range of students, and to continue the activities and not just a "ride" the CEAM. Each class visits the CEAM twice a year and the program coordinator visits the school once, talking with students about the diagnosis or the environmental situation of the school. During the school holidays are designed work with employees and contractors, parents, neighbors of company property.
RESULTS: promoting recycling of teachers through courses and seminars, dissemination and multiplication of environmental education, it was observed that students gained more knowledge about the need for
effective actions to ensure the future; a higher valuation of the improvements made in the community, most recognize the importance of improving the school environment, show maturity and critical questioning about environmental issues. Are met staff, parents and students visited all registered neighbors. From 04/10/94 to 31/12/2011, the Environmental Education Centers in Arcelor Mittal Carbonita and Bom Despacho has already received more than 110,000 people.
CONCLUSIONS: Working in partnership enables better planning of activities, includes institutions that have common goals, divide the responsibilities and costs enabling effective action permitting the exercise of citizenship that implies commitment, participation, rights and responsibilities of each member of society as a influencing the environment we live in, instead of taking ourselves for it.

It Takes All Of Us…streamlined to shot success has Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Bremerton staff members providing timely and efficient COVID-19 vaccinations to Sailors in the Pacific Northwest to add a crucial protective shield against the virus and help with the overall effort to stop the spread of COVID-19. Initial doses of the vaccine have been administered to frontline health care workers, along with other first responders, including emergency medical services personnel, security forces, and other essential personnel, followed by health care and support personnel at military medical treatment facilities, active duty service members supporting COVID-19 response operations and to those providing national critical capabilities such as strategic and nuclear forces and homeland defense. An initial shipment of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine that received emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration arrived at NMRTC Bremerton on Dec. 22, 2020, with vaccinations starting the day after. In conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Defense (DoD) distribution plan for administering the vaccine at military medical treatment facilities like NMRTC Bremerton calls for prioritizing through a phased approach to vaccinate all active duty and reserve components, TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Select beneficiaries, and select DoD civilians and contract personnel authorized to receive immunizations from DoD (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).

Recent studies have shown that two important sources of highly-localised and enriched organic matter in the deep sea are the sunken carcasses of dead whales and large pieces of wood which have been washed out to sea.
These large inputs of organic matter can support a highly specialised microbial and invertebrate fauna. During this 2009-410 Seamount cruise, two moorings, each carrying a package of minke, fin and sperm whale bones and a package of mango wood logs, were deployed to two seamount sites from the Research Vessel Dr Fridtjof Nansen. These moorings will remain in place until recovery by ROV in late 2011.
The Fifth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries (LDC5) prioritized shifting gears to ensure that LDCs are firmly in the driver’s seat on the road to prosperity.
With less than a decade to deliver on the 2030 Agenda, supporting LDCs as they harness their social and economic development potential is critical. The five-day conference in Doha, Qatar brought world leaders together with the private sector, civil society, parliamentarians, and young people to accelerate efforts in places where it is needed the most.
“LDC5 was a once-in-a-decade opportunity to build momentum on meaningful dialogue so that we can best understand what the next era of sustainable development in these countries will look like,” said UNOPS Acting Executive Director Jens Wandel.

Since not much trawling has been done deeper than 200 meters off the eastern coast of South-Africa, one of the objectives for this survey was to trawl in the deeper areas. However, the waters here are quite challenging with one of the strongest currents, varying vertically in direction and speed (up to 6 knots), and strong winds often blowing in the opposite direction of the surface current. We were therefore only able to conduct 3 trawl stations deeper than 200 m. In total, 22 trawls have been done, from 20-511 m. The catches have mostly been quite small, particularly north of Richards Bay. Overall, catches have been dominated by anchovies (Engraulis), sand soldiers (Pagellus), greeneyes (Chlorophthalmus) and minikob (Johnius). The dominance of anchovies is perhaps surprising as mainly bottom trawls have been used, but these fish form very large shoals and most of them were caught in just two trawls. Few species of commercial interest have been caught, apart from prawns and langoustines on the deep water crustacean trawl grounds. In total 350 different species were caught in the bottom trawl hauls, of which 200 were various fish species. One of these are rarely caught, the sailfin velifer which was presented in an earlier post. We might also have caught a new species in the group called rover fishes (Emmelichthys sp.), but this remains to be confirmed. The fish is preserved and brought back to the South-African Institute of Aquatic Biodiversity for further analysis. We also caught a shark which Oddgeir didn't have in his photo archive, the lined catchark (Halaelurus lineolatus). Antoher fish caused us some problems to identify, but in the end the taxonomy experts onboard did agree that is must be a blue and gold fusilier (Caesio caerulaurea).

On 19 February 2015, on the occasion of the Workshop on Linking Global and Regional Levels in the Management of Marine Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction”, a side event was jointly organized by the EAF-Nansen Project and the FAO Deep-sea Programme.
The event was to present aspects of the survey carried out on the seamounts in the South East Atlantic Fisheries Organization (SEAFO) area by the R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen and share insights on capacity development for the sustainable management of fisheries and biodiversity conservation in ABNJ.
The Side Event was opened and chaired by Merete Tandstad, Fishery Resources Officer at the FAO Marine and Inland Fisheries Branch.

In a real fml mood as of late. Taking the steps to make it better. Went back to being generic looking. Re-prioritizing. Trying to get back into school. Figuring out who I want and need around me. Life, is horrid. Best to make the best outta what I have.

Sonia Delaunay’s career was long and varied, and her influence on subsequent generations cannot be overstated. Known for her vivid use of color and her bold, abstract patterns, she broke down traditional distinctions between fine and applied arts. In 1905, Delaunay traveled to Paris and immersed herself in the Modernist art world meeting artists such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Robert Delaunay whom she would marry in 1911. Together Sonia and Robert Delaunay developed Orphism (also called Simultaneism) an artistic style/theory that prioritized color over form. The Delaunay’s home in Paris, which was decorated in furniture and fabrics designed by Sonia, was a haven for abstract, Dada, and Surrealist artists like Tristan Tzara and André Breton, with Sonia collaborating with Tzara on many of his costumes and wearable artworks. Delaunay was also commissioned to create costumes for the Ballet Russe and other theatrical productions. After the death of Robert in 1941, Sonia continued to work energetically promoting abstract art, including the work of her late husband. The year of this work is noteworthy, as it marks the year Delaunay became the first living woman artist to have a solo exhibition at the Museé du Louvre.
