Thousands of Nurses Hold National Day of Action Aug. 5 to Save Lives During COVID-19 and Beyond

Haven't been on flickr in what feel likes months, life is busy right now, gotta prioritize!
I've had the chance to process some photos in the last few days, and also finally pushed out my blog, which needs lots of work.. But the important thing is that it's functional and I'm populating it with content.
I hope all is well with you guys, and I'll try to check your streams soon!
For a smaller cooperative, they have truly prioritized the need to bring more attentive, tailored support to each of their members. There are now four individuals working on an agronomic agenda and poised to visit Cinco de Junio's 150 members throughout the course of the harvest.

Thousands of registered nurse members of National Nurses United (NNU) held actions on Thursday, Jan. 26, to demand the hospital industry end their profession’s staffing crisis by providing safe numbers of nurses to care for patients. The nationwide protests will highlight the ongoing “quad-demic” fueled by the hospital industry’s prioritization of money over patient care.

Nurses hold national day of action Jan. 13 to demand employers, Biden administration protect RNs, health care workers
Registered nurse members of National Nurses United (NNU), the nation’s largest union of RNs, hold actions across the country on Thursday, Jan. 13 — including a candlelight vigil in Washington, D.C. for nurses who lost their lives to Covid-19, and a national virtual press conference — to demand the hospital industry invest in safe staffing, and to demand that President Biden follow through on his campaign promise to protect nurses and prioritize public health.
NNU nurses emphasize that in recent weeks, the Biden administration has ripped away critical protections from health care workers and the public, with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) weakening Covid isolation guidelines and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announcing that it intends to withdraw critical Covid protections for health care workers—right when the Omicron variant is exploding across the country and hospitalizations are skyrocketing. Nurses emphasize that being left unprotected by the government and by their profit-driven hospital employers which have failed to invest in safe staffing and provide critical health and safety protections, has created such unsafe working conditions that nurses are being driven away from the profession.

Cass and Abby. I've never done a photoshoot with either of these ladies, but Aliya shoots 'em a decent amount.
I barely paid any attention at all to the open mic itself during the open mic. Too crowded to move between the spot where I was hanging out with friends and the spot where I could watch the music happening, so I prioritized to the friends. I stand by my choice.
Today, the Right To The City Alliance marched with the larger Climate Justice Alliance. The frontlines of the climate crisis are low-income people, communities of color and indigenous communities. We understand that the climate crisis will affect everyone, but will have harsher consequences for low income people and communities of color. As housing organizers and people who care deeply about housing justice we see how climate change has and will exacerbate the conditions of gentrification and displacement. The wealth of neighborhoods often influences the way that recovery efforts for major climate crisis incidents gets prioritized. We hope to change this trend. We are the hardest hit by both climate disruption––the storms, floods and droughts––as well as by the extractive, polluting and wasteful industries causing global warming. We are also at the forefront of innovative community-led solutions that ensure a just transition off fossil fuels, and that support an economy good for both people and the planet. We know that we must rush recovery funds from floods, hurricanes and other natural disasters to displaced groups and low-income families who need it most.
Right to the City emerged in 2007 as a unified response to gentrification and a call to halt the displacement of low-income people, people of color, marginalized LGBTQ communities, and youths of color from their historic urban neighborhoods. We are a national alliance of racial, economic and environmental justice organizations. Through shared principles and a common frame and theory of change, RTTC is building a national movement for racial justice, urban justice, human rights, and democracy
The Climate Justice Alliance (CJA) is a collaborative of over 35 community-based and movement support organizations uniting frontline communities to forge a scalable, and socio-economically just transition away from unsustainable energy towards local living economies to address the root causes of climate change.
Kigali, Rwanda – The University of Rwanda (UR) is excited to announce the beginning of a new Master of Science degree program in Agribusiness. The gender-sensitive degree program will enroll its first cohort of students in February 2015.
The degree program was developed in partnership with Michigan State University (MSU) with funding provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) through the Women’s Leadership Program, implemented globally by Higher Education for Development (HED).
The graduate program is prioritizing accessibility to women and mid-career professionals, and is incorporating extensive experiential learning opportunities for the students. The structure of this program in particular will require all students to partake in an internship opportunity thus better preparing them for leadership and entrepreneurial roles in agriculture in Rwanda.
“Agriculture is vital to the people and economy of Rwanda and many of those involved in agriculture are women. Their input to the business of agriculture is essential. It is also important that agriculture adopts a modern business strategy because it is a business and all those involved must learn the relevant skills," said Emeritus Professor James McWha Vice Chancellor University of Rwanda. " This program brings together all the components necessary for a major development of the future of the agriculture and food industries in Rwanda.”
Using a collaborative approach, the Women’s Leadership Program is designed to support access of women to higher education and advanced degrees, strengthen institutional capacity in research and education on women’s leadership, and promote women’s leadership through higher education extension/outreach efforts in underserved communities.
“The empowerment of women through the expansion of their leadership opportunities and spaces for their voices to be heard is a top priority for USAID globally, including in Rwanda,” said Joseph Lessard, USAID/Rwanda Economic Growth Director. “We really believe this program will give women rich opportunities to share their expertise and play major roles in the country’s economic development. We congratulate the University of Rwanda and Michigan State University on this achievement, and look forward to seeing how it will benefit Rwanda into the future.”
Michigan State University has a rich history of working collaboratively with the Rwandan government and their institutes of higher education.
“It has been a great honor to continue the tradition of our two universities working together to advance the agriculture sector in Rwanda,” said Dr. Gretchen Neisler, Principle Investigator on this project from MSU. “Working collaboratively on the Rwanda Women’s Leadership Program has been very rewarding. I look forward to strengthening our partnership with UR through the continued development of this degree program. I am also excited to explore new and innovative ways for our two universities to work together to educate the next generation of thought leaders at both Michigan State University and the University of Rwanda.”

Changing and prioritizing content and experience based on what we know about the user's context. A fascinating talk!
Been very busy learning currency exchange trading since the past 4 months, thus the silence of the my flickr site. Other than images from my D80 and Photoshop CS4, my monitor screen is being invaded by a lot of charts, studying price action... time is so limited. I only have two of each of these; eyes, hands & brains, yet I want to do so much!!! I've gotta focus & prioritize...
By the way, currency exchange is an interesting market, yet fierce enough that some fallen traders even call it satanic market. It's because one can easily lost money despite the fact that one can get a loan up to 99.8% capital to fund their account (interest free, no need collateral, no need guarantor, light speed approval) to buy or short certain amount of currency. Traders make money when the currency value appreciates (price go up) AND also when it depreciates (price go down). Traders lost money when the price moves against their order until they are knocked out by stop out. Thus, those who enter the market without proper money management and proper entry & exit strategies, are considered gamblers and destined to fall. The price movement is, most of the times, unpredictable in the short term due to high volatility, causing many new and greedy traders loss their capital. But, it's still fascinating, because 3 trillion dollars are being traded on the daily basis in the market. It is even so in this difficult economic period. Imagine, if only you can scoop 0.0000001% of it everyday, that would be a handsome USD3000 for you dear, DAILY...
================================================================
Sibuk dgn dagangan matawang asing sejak 4 bulan yg lepas sampaikan takde masa nak update my flickr site. Selain dpd imej2 dari kamera D80 aku & Photoshop CS4, carta2 dari Metatrader4 software pun sama kerap memenuhi paparan skrin aku, mengkaji pergerakan harga2 matawang. Masa mmg terhad.. Aku hanya ada 2 mata, 2 tangan dan 2 otak... tapi, macam2 bende aku nak buat. Kena beri keutamaan dan tumpuan pada satu2 perkara pada satu2 masa...
Perdagangan matawang memang satu pasaran yg menarik walaupun ia agak ganas sedikit, sehinggakan ada di antara pedagang2 yg tersungkur memanggilnya pasaran setan, hehehe... (teringat lawak arwahyarham Tan Sri P. Ramlee...). Pasaran setan, semuanya kerana gara2 di dalam pasaran inilah ramai yg kehilangan wang. Pinjaman yg ditawarkan bagi membantu para pedagang membeli matawang asing memang sukar utk ditangkis kerana pedagang boleh pinjam sehingga 99.8%, tanpa penjamin, tanpa faedah, tanpa pajakan, kelulusan secara spontan, tanpa perlu isi borang. Lagipun, berbanding dengan pasaran saham, pedagang boleh mengaut keuntungan jika harga matawang itu naik, mahupun ketika ia sedang jatuh.
Namun, setiap perdagangan pasti ada untung ruginya. Pedagang akan rugi jika harga pasaran bergerak bertentangan dengan arah belian yg dibuat olehnya. Lebih parah jika pergerakan harga itu bergerak pada arah bertentangan dengan banyaknya, sehinggakan akaun pedagang itu tak mampu menahan "drawdown" dan akhirnya terkena "margin call" dan "stop out", maka unit matawangnya dilepaskan secara automatik oleh sistem, dan tinggallah baki akaun yg mencecah angka kosong itu. Ada yg hilang sehingga ribuan ringgit sebelum berjaya, itupun kalau berjaya.
Itulah lumrah perdagangan matawang asing. Mereka yg memasuki pasaran matawang tanpa pengurusan kewangan yg cekap dan tanpa strategi jual dan beli yang utuh, dianggap penjudi dan memang ditakdirkan untuk gugur. Pergerakan harga matawang memang selalunya tidak boleh dijangka dalam jangka masa yg pendek memang boleh menyebabkan pedagang2 yg baru dan tamak kehilangan keseluruhan duit akaun mereka. Sungguhpun begitu, dagangan matawang asing masih menarik, kerana hampir 3 trillion dolar amerika didagangkan setiap hari di dalam pasaran ini, walaupun dalam keadaan ekonomi yg kelihatan agak parah pada masa ini. Bayangkanlah jika kita boleh kaut hanya 0.0000001% dpd jumlah itu setiap hari... sudah tentu kita kenyang dengan pendapatan 3000 dolar amerika, SETIAP HARI...
Hmm, kenapa kalau aku tulis dlm versi Bahasa Melayu, penerangannya lebih panjang ek? Rasanya, kena buat blog plak nih...

Minister of Labour and Immigration Jason Copping and Minister of Jobs, Economy and Innovation Doug Schweitzer announced, from Edmonton on Monday, October 26, 2020, new initiatives to spur job creation and support Alberta’s economic recovery.
In order to create new businesses and job creators in high-demand industries, Alberta’s government is launching two new immigration pathways to attract investment, create new high-paying jobs for Albertans, diversify the economy and encourage international graduates to launch businesses here in Alberta.
These new streams will support Alberta’s recovery by attracting international job creators and skilled professionals to start businesses and get Albertans back to work.
Starting Oct. 26, recent international graduates from Alberta’s universities and colleges can apply to the new International Graduate Entrepreneur Immigration Stream to launch business ventures and startups in Alberta.
In January, Alberta will also launch the Foreign Graduate Start-up Visa Stream to attract talented international graduates from top U.S. universities and colleges to start businesses and settle in Alberta communities.
Alberta’s government is also making changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program by limiting the number and types of jobs available to new temporary foreign workers – making jobs available to unemployed Albertans.
As of Nov. 1, dozens of additional occupational categories will be added to the “refusal to process list,” removing the vast majority of occupations from the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program. This will result in more than 1,350 available jobs for unemployed Albertans at a time when they’re needed most.
Alberta is using its authority under the Temporary Foreign Worker Annex of the Agreement for Canada-Alberta Cooperation on Immigration and has reached an agreement with the federal government. These changes will impact 475 occupations in sectors such as accommodation and food services, retail trade, transportation, construction, and professional, scientific and technical services.
A small number of specialized occupations experiencing acute and proven labour shortages will be exempted. These changes will not impact employers recruiting for select occupations in the agriculture, technology and caregiving sectors that heavily rely on temporary foreign workers to fill employment gaps.
Alberta will monitor and adjust the province’s “refusal to process list” quarterly and work with industry experts, businesses, post-secondary institutions, municipalities and organizations as economic conditions improve.
Together, the new streams and changes to the TFW program balance the need to get unemployed Albertans back to work in available jobs while keeping educated and talented entrepreneurs in Alberta to build job-creating businesses.
Alberta’s Recovery Plan is a bold, ambitious long-term strategy to build, diversify, and create tens of thousands of jobs now. By building schools, roads and other core infrastructure we are benefiting our communities. By diversifying our economy and attracting investment with Canada’s most competitive tax environment, we are putting Alberta on a path for a generation of growth. Alberta came together to save lives by flattening the curve and now we must do the same to save livelihoods, grow and thrive.
Combined, these programs will provide new tools to grow Alberta’s tech sector and attract new investments that will create new high-paying jobs. (photography by Chris Schwarz/Government of Alberta)

National Nurses United hold National Day of Action
RNs say “Enough is enough,” demand hospitals put patient safety first
Thousands of registered nurse members of National Nurses United (NNU) will hold a national day of action on Tuesday, June 13, to demand that their employers address the current nationwide staffing crisis by ensuring there is safe staffing on all units at all times and that nurses have the resources they need to care for their patients, announced NNU.
“We are saying, ‘Enough is enough’ to our employers who push us to our breaking point with chronic short-staffing and insufficient resources to provide the highest quality of care to our patients,” said Deborah Burger, RN, a president of NNU. “We are tired of the hospital industry’s excuses. We know there are enough nurses to meet the demand, there is just a lack of will on the part of the hospital industry to staff appropriately because they prioritize profits over patient care. We are very clear that our number one focus must be to provide the highest quality of care to each and every patient.”

The Africa Youth Conference 2018- Unleashing the Potential of Youth: Prioritizing investment in Africa Youth within the Post-2015 Agenda- Organized by the UN Family in Kenya (UN Women, UNDP, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNICEF, UN Environment, UNIC Nairobi) and with Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) and YMCA Africa Alliance, gathered youth champions from all corners of Africa will gather, from 23 to 25 October 2018, in Nairobi- Kenya, to discuss the challenges of today’s time, including: how to enhance youth access to sustainable livelihoods through social entrepreneurship; youth engagement in governance/political participation leadership and decision making, with a focus on ensuring active participation and decision making by young women; youth action in preventing violence and other harmful practice against young women and girls; and showcasing and documenting youth-led social innovation addressing development challenges facing youth in Africa.
UNESCO brought on board 11 young champions- young engineers, innovators and educators- from 11 countries- Côte D’Ivoire, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda- to engage in conversations and make their voices and their needs heard, for the Africa they want, tackling both the 7 Aspirations of Agenda 2063 and the United Nations Agenda 2030.
In addition, a panel moderated by UNESCO on United Nations Day, 24 October 2018, from 9 to 10.30 am, looked at opportunities and challenges for youth employment, by creating the pathway for success in Youth Led Enterprise and Business in industry, with founders of social business from Egypt, Nigeria and Uganda.

“Human and nature should work in harmony, many organisations still look over nature and it should prioritize more. In Thailand, climate action is not trendy enough in society. We must find a right touch point to create a correct mindset, many people still waiting for others to start first before themselves or small action is not enough for society. I want to develop an application to indicate waste management spot location indicator, giving direction for locals to separate right waste in the right place. I believe what is fun will make a good attitude and I want to make climate change fun.”

The AcqBusiness team prioritizes requirements into “sprints,” arranged on the scrum board, that help them turn product backlog requirements into increments of completed functionality. Here, Rachel Wright, a software tester on the scrum team, places information on the scrum board.
Substantial progress has been made in structuring and implementing infrastructure projects in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean region, contributing to significant social, environmental and economic development. However, traditional support through national budgets and donor funding cannot meet ongoing needs for building and maintaining infrastructure; and access to new sources of private capital remains a challenge. The real and perceived risks for private investors (e.g. currency volatility, illiquid local capital markets, political uncertainty) have resulted in many projects remaining unfunded or delayed due to a lack of competitive financing options. The scale of investment to meet existing and future growth demands of the region requires targeted infrastructure investment and therefore new sources of capital - whether from the private sector or from the combination of public and private as Jordan’s Queen Alia International Airport successful PPP case demonstrates.
In this context, innovative approaches to increase private financing and government initiatives such as dedicated PPP units, project prioritization and acceleration programmes can help to address some of the country risks and increase access to capital for priority infrastructure projects. Despite the humongous task of rebuilding, new opportunities in infrastructure investment are emerging for the private sector. In this event, participants focused on the role of public-private structuring of investments and related initiatives that offer the potential to mobilize international capital markets and regional institutional investors to finance infrastructure.
