Neela (left) was married in 2006 aged 14. There was no dowry payment involved. She went to live with her in laws but while she was there overheard her husband saying to his parents that marrying her was a bad decision as he received no dowry payment. She overheard the decision that her husband would traffic her to Saudi Arabia where he worked. When confronting her husband he threw acid over her face and body. She had six months of treatment, still managed to pass her exams and was then brought to ASN to receive support. She now lives with her family in Siraganj. Her husband was arrested and given the death penalty in early 2009. However, he was imprisoned for just one year and now walks free.
‘I am Neela.
I think being a girl, the best thing is nowadays girls’ position in society has improved a lot and we can do many things. At the same time, the worst thing is because it is a male dominated society, even though women have advanced a lot, they are still oppressed and neglected. Side by side, the message I want to convey, as a girl, is that I want for girls to change their minds and go ahead. In my life, I want to continue my studies and graduate. After graduation I want to have a good job.
My name is Neela. I am ActionAid’.
The Acid Survivors Network was formed in 2006 in Sirajganj, Bangladesh to help the victims of Acid Violence. Acid attacks are a form of violent assault, often linked to ‘honour’ in parts of Asia. Acid is readily available and used in the garments trade in areas of Bangladesh where acid violence is inherently more rife. Poor women are usually the victims of these domestic attacks perpetrated as revenge for refusal of marriage, sexual advances, dowry payment or land disputes. The ASN not only helps with the physical challenges such as legal aid and medical assistance, but also assists with the psychological challenges that arise from fear of prejudice and stigma in the community. Victims are provided with a safe place to stay, develop life skills, attend group counselling sessions and actively campaign to enforce acid laws and build awareness. ActionAid is assisting the ASN through its partner organisation SHARP (‘Socio Health and Rehabilitation Programmes).

The Scottish Ambulance Service Emergency Support Unit for Tayside, based at Dundee and used for multiple casualty situations, was set up in Victoria Park in February, 1993, as part of the monthly training exercise, and also to give local emergency services - Police, Fire, Coastguard and Ambulance an opportunity to see the unit in action. It could be used as a rapidly erected shelter for up to 50 casualties and carried a full range of medical and paramedical supplies and equipment.
Nice place to watch the show from, if you had the right job or knew someone who did. Not for people who need back-support.

Along with profound and expanding benefits, global technological change also poses serious and growing risks for the world’s economies and societies. Evolving Internet communication products and services have powered growth and productivity, exponentially encouraging democratization, innovation, and collaboration.
A society that actively addresses COP with a 360 degree approach has a competitive advantage over a society that denies or chooses not to address all aspects of cyber-abuse, because societies that provide for victim support as well as prevention and education, are more resilient to socio-economic disruptions and more likely to experience overall social and economic success.

GMP officers recently joined representatives from Victim Support to launch the Birch Room at Rochdale police station yesterday as it became the second space to be dedicated to victim experience at the station.
The Willow Room has been a dedicated safe place in Rochdale police station since it opened in 2009 and will now be used solely by GMP whilst the Birch Room will be a specialist room dedicated to Victim Support.
Claire Powell, contract manager for Victim Support in Manchester said: "It's important that people affected by crime are given the support they need and the respect they deserve."
"We're delighted to have funded the furnishing of the Birch room, which we hope will aid the police and Victim Support staff to better support victims at Rochdale police station."
Victim Support has fitted the Birch Room with specialist equipment and chairs to create a ‘soft’ environment for people who need extra support such as victims of serious crime and children. It is designed to encourage vulnerable victims to feel at ease when receiving support at the police station, helping them on their journey to recovery.
Chief Superintendent Chris Sykes from GMP said: “Victims are at the core of everything that we do and we are constantly looking at ways to improve their experience when they come to us.
“The new Birch Room, supplied with furniture from Victim Support, will allow us to give our victims the time and space they need, in a comfortable and safe environment.”
Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd said: “Rooms like these will help to create a supportive, comforting environment during an incredibly difficult time. Victims must be placed firmly at the heart of our criminal justice system, and that should start from the moment they report the crime or attend a police station.”
To find out more about Greater Manchester Police please visit our website www.gmp.police.uk

U.S. Army Africa supports Burundi's peacekeeping efforts in Somalia
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa
BUJUMBURA, Burundi – When U.S. Army Col. Steve Smith recently joined discussions with Burundian generals about how Burundi conducts peacekeeping efforts in Somalia, he was leading the way for U.S. Army Africa partnerships on the continent.
In mid-January, Smith led a team to work with Burundian officers on ways to enhance Burundi’s leadership capacity as their military prepares to deploy its next rotation of peacekeepers to Mogadishu. Smith, of the U.S. Army’s Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute and Lt. Col. Ronald Miller, an Africa expert from U.S. Army Africa headquarters, held discussions with senior Burundian military officers at the Ministry of Defense in Bujumbura.
“We discussed the U.S. military’s way of planning for operations at the brigade level, using what we call MDMP, the military decision making process,” Smith said. “We also talked about how U.S. Army officers run a brigade-level command post.”
Burundi and Uganda share peacekeeping duties under the African Union Mission in Somalia, an operation designed to stabilize Somalia’s security situation following decades of war and chaos. African peacekeepers in Somalia face daily challenges as they mentor Somalis in security operations and work to counter extremist groups like al-Shabaab.
The U.S. Army effort is part of a larger effort by the U.S. government to support Burundi in its peacekeeping efforts, said Brig. Gen. Cyprien Ndikuryio, chief of Burundi’s land forces. The U.S. has helped with training and equipment, followed by these senior leader discussions, he said.
“My colleagues and I are senior officers. One of them, or I, could be appointed to higher responsibilities in Somalia’s peacekeeping mission and use what we have learned,” Ndikuryio said.
Until now, Burundi’s military planned missions similar to the way Belgian and French militaries work. The Ugandan People’s Defense Force, Burundi’s partner in AMISOM, already employs a planning system that is similar to the U.S. military, Smith said.
“It’s incredibly important for Burundi, as they are working alongside other armies using the U.S.-based model, to promote interoperability and overall efficiency,” Smith said.
In 2006, Burundi ended its 12-year civil war. Since then, Burundi has made strides toward partnering with its East African neighbors and the United States.
In October 2009, Burundian troops took part in Natural Fire 10, a U.S. Army Africa-led humanitarian and civil assistance exercise held in Uganda. During that time, Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III, commander of U.S. Army Africa, visited Bujumbura to watch Burundian troops undergoing training with the U.S. State Department-led African Contingency Operations Training and Assistance program.
Burundian senior leaders then asked U.S. Army Africa to help with a familiarization event on brigade-level peacekeeping operations. Leaders from PKSOI at Carlisle Barracks in Pennsylvania offered their expertise for the event.
“This effort in Burundi has been a great opportunity for the U.S. Army to engage with a partner nation’s land forces on the continent,” Smith said. “There’s a tremendous potential here, a great thirst for knowledge.”
Smith’s Burundi assignment also benefits PKSOI in their efforts, he said.
“I’m taking back with me a better understanding of U.S. Army Africa operations and what’s happening on the ground in Africa,” Smith said. “That knowledge will help PKSOI plan to support future missions.”
The talks came at a key time for the Burundian military, as they prepare to deploy a new rotation of peacekeepers to Somali.
“This support was very important and effective,” Ndikuryio said. “We appreciate this cooperation with U.S. Army Africa. We hope to interact with the command in the future.”

The display reads:
The M981, known as the FIST-V was the first U.S. Army specialized vehicle for the Fire Support Team or Forward Observer in the U.S. Army. Introduced in 1978, the FIST-V used a M113 Armored Personnel Carrier chassis and was identical in appearance to the M901 Improved TOW Vehicle (ITV). This identical appearance helped make the fire support team less of a target on the battlefield. The ITV used the large "hammerhead" on top of the vehicle to launch TOW anti-tank missiles. The "hammerhead" on the FIST-V housed a ground / vehicle laser locator designator (G/VLLD) and a AN/TAS-4 night sight. This allowed the fire support team to locate and designate targets with the laser to be hit by precision guided artillery projectiles or aerial bombs. Inside, the M981 had seven radios and two digital message devices to communicate with the infantry or armor units it supported or the artillery fire direction center. During Operation Desert Storm in 1991, units found that the M981 and other M113 series vehicles were unable to keep up with the Abrams tanks and Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles. The FIST-V was replaced by the Bradley FIST (BFIST) beginning in 2000.

At the moment the minimum wage for workers aged 16 and 17 is just $8.20. This is only 80% of the minimum wage for those 18 and over, which is $10.25. Employers expect exactly the same level of work from 17 year olds as 18 year olds. 17 year olds don’t get to scan the shopping 20% slower, or make burgers 20% slower. But employers can pay them less.
For those under 16 there is no minimum wage protection at all, employers can pay whatever they want. This means that 15 year olds can legally get paid $5 or less for stacking supermarket shelves or making pizza.
Youth rates hurt all workers, because employers use the lower amount they can pay young workers to drive down everyone else’s wages. Employers pay youth rates because they can, because the government lets them. Sue Bradford currently has a bill before parliament that would eliminate youth rates for 16 and 17 year olds. We don’t believe this bill goes far enough. The Youth Union Movement believes that there must be one minimum wage for all workers, and no legal discrimination in employment on grounds of age.
In 1455, the Poznań burgher Maciej Czarny (Matthew Black), with the support of Bishop Andrzej Bniński, handed over the land to the Bernardines. The monks arrived in the city on Christmas Day 1456 and soon built a wooden church. Already in 1470, the construction of a brick church began. The church in the late Gothic style was consecrated in 1473. The temple received the call of the Holy Cross, the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Andrew, Franciszek and Bernardine of Siena, and its founder was Bishop Andrzej Bniński. In 1487, the Custody was established here, which involved the extension of the guardian's authority, which henceforth wore the title of custodian for the surrounding monasteries of the congregation.
In 1609 a Renaissance chapel of Our Lady of Loreta was added to the church.
During the Swedish Deluge, in 1657, the church was set on fire by Brandenburg. The most valuable items from the sacristy and many manuscripts and prints from the rich monastery library were plundered. To this day, they are found in the royal libraries in Stockholm and Uppsala.
Reconstruction began already in 1658 under the leadership of Krzysztof Bonadura the Elder, and then Jerzy Catenazzi. The construction was completed in 1668, and then the bishop suffragan, Maciej Kurski, who was also a St. Bernard, again consecrated the church, giving him the call of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The temple was severely damaged during a hurricane in 1725. Renovation took place in 1730-1736. At that time, the present elevation and the characteristic two towers with two-sided helmets designed by Jan Adam Stier from Leszno and a group of figures of Franciscan saints in the façade of Franciszek Domsburger from Wschowa were created. In 1742, the chapel of Our Lady of Loreta was added from the south, replacing the Loreto house erected there in 1663, and the renovation was completed by the addition of new organs in 1750.
The end of the existence of the Bernardine monastery was its dissolution made by the Prussian authorities in 1835, in 1839 the church and monastery were taken over by the parish of Saint. Marcin (the last monk, father Julian Fujarski, he died in 1841), and then in 1843 the Middle School of Saint. Mary Magdalene. From that time on, the team acted as a school church.
During World War II, the Germans changed the temple into opera painting workshops. Then all the equipment was destroyed. The buildings themselves were destroyed in 1945, during the liberation of Poznań, when the Germans placed an anti-tank gun in it, making it a point of resistance.
In 1947 the ruins of the band were taken over by the Minorites from the Bernardine Province of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, beginning in 1948 with long-lasting reconstruction. It is true that in 1951 the church was so renovated that it was consecrated, giving today's call, however, the reconstruction was completed only in 1972, and the last work dragged on until 1983, when the reconstruction of helmets and the roof was completed. Later, works on the reconstruction of the interior and the monastery premises were also underway. In 1988, the new wing of the monastery was completed, which took the place of the destroyed during the war, and the chapel from St. Anne. In 1974 a parish was established near the church, where the Church of the Transfiguration in Poznań is also located.
In the meantime, in 1965, the Provincial Chapter decided to put in the monastery a central library of old prints and manuscripts. It was for her that the southern wing of the monastery was added. Since 1991, the monastery and the temple are the seat of the Franciscan province - Saint. Francis of Assisi.
It is a massive, three-nave hall structure on a rectangular plan, with an elongated, lower presbytery which closes a straight wall. From the south adjoins the preserved chapel of Our Lady of Loreta from the eighteenth century in which there is a Renaissance Loretan house originally located in the nave, and from the north of the monastery buildings. From the outside, attention is drawn to the rich, baroque facade with two towers, which are crowned with magnificent helmets, 29 m tall, designed by Jan Adam Stiera.
Between the pilasters and cornices there are niches with figures of Franciscan saints from around 1730, sculpted by Franciszek Domsburger. They present:
in the lower part: Saint. Jan Kapistrana (in the middle) and Saint. Bernardine from Siena, Saint. Franciszek Solano, Saint. James of Marches and Saint. Peter of Alcantara.
in the middle part: Saint. Bonaventure and Saint. Ludwika from Toulouse
in the upper floor of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary and on her sides St. Francis of Assisi and Saint. Antoni Padewski.
Inside, enter the porch, covered with a vaulted ceiling, from where you enter the nave on the rather high stairs up to the nave, and down to the chapel of the Holy Cross and the crypt. The unusual, high position of the floor results from the desire to avoid flooding during Warta's frequent floods. In the porch there is a window, which is a remnant of the original Baroque portal from the 17th century, transformed into a window after 1823. There is a stained glass window from the early twentieth century depicting Saint. Piotr from Alkantra was moved here in 1948 from the church in Panewniki (today Katowice). In the porch, there is also a plaque commemorating Fr. Leona Skórnicki (1891-1965), rector of the church and prefect of the gymnasium of Maria Magdalena.
The interior of the church is covered with a barrel vault with lunettes, and between arcaded pillars there are arcaded passages. The main altar was built after 1950. In its center, there is a copy of Rubens' God's Wrath authored by Józef Pade from 1950. On its sides, sculptures from 1778-1779 by Augustine Schöps, depicting Saint. John the Evangelist and Saint. Józef with Baby Jesus. In the finial of the altar, God the Father.
In front of the altar, also by Schöps, sculptures depicting Saint. Bonaventure, Saint. Bernardine from Siena, Saint. Augustine and Saint. Ambrose.
In the presbytery there are also stalls from 1950-1960, reconstructed according to archival photographs. A passion group from the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries on the rainbow beam. At the first, counting from the presbytery, the pillars on the left are the pulpit crowned with the figure of Christ and on the left a sarcophagus of Mary and above it the scene of the Assumption. Both neo-Baroque equipment elements were created in 1954. Next to the pulpit there is a stylized rococo font.
Side altars were made in 1988-1989 according to the design of Henryk Marcinkowski. In the left in the central part there is a painting of Saint. Józef with Child, and in the finial image of Saint. Anna, Lose with little Maria. On the sides of the sculpture of Saint. Franciszka and Saint. Paschal. In the right altar, the middle is taken by Saint. Antoni Padewski, another painting in the finial presents Saint. John Duns. In the side parts, the sculptures show St. John of Dukla and Bl. Władysława from Gielniowa. All paintings in the side altars were painted by Danuta Waberska, and sculptures were made by Andrzej Biernacki. On the pillars there are 12 figures of apostles standing on the consoles from the side of the nave. Only Saint survived the war. Piotr and Saint. Paweł (the remaining 10 figures of the apostles are reconstructions).
The chapel of the Divine Mother of Loreto closes the early-baroque trellis from 1650. Inside, a contemporary figure of Our Lady of Loretto made by Franciszek Masorz from Rybnik.
The nave from the west closes the empora. with the pillars supporting it, Saint. John Kapistrana and Saint. Francis of Assisi. In the Empire, the organ prospectus from the 19th century was maintained in the neo-baroque style, which came here from one of the post-evangelic churches.
In the chapel of St. The cross, under the floor, is a late-baroque crucifix from the mid-18th century, which was moved here from the Reformed monastery in Wieleń.
In front of the monastery, a small statue of St. Francis of Assisi and the cracked bell of Saint. Franciszka and Saint. Jan Kapistran was cast in 1730 by Poznań Ludwisarzy, hung on one of the towers in 1733 and dropped in 1945.

New and beginning farmers are able to receive education, experience and support from the Agricultural Land Based Training Association (ALBA), whose graduates of their Farmer Education Course (PEPA) can then move on to agricultural related careers or continue a farming association for up to five incubator years where they can rent farm land, at their 100-acre facility in Salinas, Ca., on Nov. 14, 2018.
The Agricultural Land Based Training Association (ALBA) is a training program that helps low income farmworkers and others learn how to become farmers. New farmers begin with a series of classroom courses and on-hands training, and graduate to farming their own piece of land on the farm. Eventually these new graduates hope to become successful farmers.
ALBAâs Farmer Education and Enterprise Development (FEED) Program educates and trains new farmer-entrepreneurs to plan, launch, and establish viable organic farm businesses or advance their careers. To accomplish this, ALBA has 100 acres of organic land, an experienced team with diverse expertise, and a hands-on, 5-year farmer development program. FEED is comprised of three main components:
1.The Farmer Education Course (PEPA) is a one year, bilingual, 300-hour curriculum featuring classroom instruction and field-based training, readying participants to launch an organic farm business.
2.The Organic Farm Incubator allows course graduates to launch their farm on ALBAâs land. Starting at ½ acre, farmers gradually scale up to 5 acres over 4 years under ALBAâs supervision before transitioning to fully independent farming.
3.ALBA Organics, aggregates, markets and ships participantsâ products to growing markets around California. Doing so gives farmers access to clients that would otherwise be out of reach and allows them to focus on growing and business management in their initial years.
For more information about PEPA please see www.albafarmers.org/programs/
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) is the USDAâs focal point for the nationâs farmers and ranchers and other stewards of private agricultural lands and non-industrial private forest lands. FPAC agencies implement programs designed to mitigate the significant risks of farming through crop insurance services, conservation programs and technical assistance, and commodity, lending, and disaster programs. The FPAC team includes, Farm Service Agency (FSA) (www.fsa.usda.gov/), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) (www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/site/national/home/), and Risk Management Agency (RMA) (www.rma.usda.gov/).
USDA FPAC Farm Service Agency (FSA) is equitably serving all farmers, ranchers, and agricultural partners through the delivery of effective, efficient agricultural programs for all Americans. FSA is a customer-driven agency with a diverse and multi-talented work force, dedicated to achieving an economically and environmentally sound future for American Agriculture. The vision is to be a market-oriented, economically and environmentally sound American agriculture delivering an abundant, safe, and affordable food and fiber supply while sustaining quality agricultural communities.
Here, FSA works with non-profit organizations such as ALBA to provide program information and outreach to beginning farmers, socially disadvantaged farmers and limited income farmers. ALBA works with a unique farmer base of nontraditional, diverse and beginning farmers.
FSA staff has worked with ALBA for many years in the following ways:
1. Provide classroom training to new ALBA students at the ALBA farm during their regular coursework. FSA provides training on:
a. How to apply for a farm loan and prepare a cash flow statement.
b. How to apply for FSA programs that help with risk management on the farm, such as the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) or other regional crop insurance options.
c. How to apply for Disaster Assistance through FSA in case of an adverse weather event or other emergency.
2. FSA has provided micro loans, operating loans and ownership loans to help ALBA farmers become independent and successful in their operations. FSA has provided Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) and Noninsured Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) payments to these farmers.
3. FSA has provided bookkeeping training courses to ALBA students, on farm tours, and has helped students apply for USDA scholarships to attend agricultural conferences and other trainings.
4. FSA has referred ALBA farmers to NRCS for help with resource management issues.
âThese farmers are the future face of American Agriculture. It is so important for FSA to help them get a strong start in ensuring the success of their operations, said FSA County Executive Director Vivian Soffa. Carlos will need support when he graduates from ALBA and hopefully FSA will be able to assist him with his capital needs when he is farming on his own in this very competitive agriculture market. Familiarity with FSAâs programs at the beginning of a new farmerâs endeavor may be the difference between success and failure.â

Limited Edition Teal Jasmine deboxed. She is posed standing, supported by her included display stand.
Because of the weight of her hair, when it is placed in its natural position behind her, it unbalances her and makes her head and back lean backwards. The base of the doll stand is slick and the top clamp doesn't help that much to keep her in position, so she tends to slide forwards on the stand as well. So it's a chore to make her stand straight up for the photos (or just for displaying her). Red Jasmine has a similar problem that is even more severe, since her pony tail juts out behind her, and her neck and upper torso joints aren't as stiff as they are on my Teal Jasmine.
Detailed photos of my pre-ordered Teal Jasmine 17 inch doll. I picked her up on release day (Tuesday October 13, 2015) from my local Disney Store. She is #1834 of 5000. She has a similar color difference between her torso and the rest of her body (including her head) as that of my Red Jasmine doll. There is golden sheen in her torso that is especially noticeable in her neck and upper chest. I like Teal Jasmine much more than I thought I would from my initial look at the stock photos and even seeing the display doll in person, although Red Jasmine is still my favorite of the two.
She is photographed boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed. She is also posed with other comparable dolls.

In a debate with Presidents Michel and von der Leyen, MEPs called for continued support for Ukraine and a common EU response to the US inflation reduction act.
“We are seeing more examples of Russia’s strategy of terror in Ukraine but its people will continue to resist and the EU will support their efforts”, said European Council President Charles Michel. He added that the EU must rapidly boost the competitiveness of European companies so they can compete with those in the USA and China that receive massive state aid. President Michel also highlighted the significant progress made in the EU’s coordinated response to high energy prices and underlined the importance of the upcoming reform of the electricity market, talks on migration and the need to strengthen sanctions against Iran for its continued repression of its citizens. “2023 will be a key year for the European project”, he concluded.
On Russia’s war against Ukraine, the Commission President said that “we need strength and resolve”. Europe has shown unity and joint efforts, for example regarding energy, have paid off, with gas prices now lower than before the invasion and gas storage at 80%. “For this winter we are safe, but we now have to prepare for the next one”, she continued and announced that the first energy supply contracts will be signed before summer.
To boost the competitiveness of Europe’s industry, President von der Leyen presented the “Green Deal industrial plan”, based on four pillars: speed and access, by simplifying and fast-tracking procedures; boosting investment in clean tech production by temporarily adapting state aid rules; supporting workers to improve their skills set to create good and well-paid jobs; and trade agreements to secure strong and resilient supply chains.
MEPs welcomed the EU’s continued support for Ukraine‘s stand against Russia’s aggression. They were convinced the European model will prevail over the Russian dictatorship, because Europe puts people first and does not use them to push through the will of a political leader.
Some MEPs demanded an increase in support for the most vulnerable during the cost of living crisis, and to ensure better conditions for platform workers. Others welcomed the Commission‘s action plan for European industry and called for an EU fund in response to the US inflation reduction act.
Some MEPs suggested better targeting of EU subsidies and more investment in research and development, a major prerequisite for improving the EU’s competitiveness. On the green transition, several MEPs urged the EU to maintain the momentum and advance the work set out in the European green deal.

The Pan-Africa Bean Research Alliance works with the Institut des Siences Agronomique du Burundi (ISABU), to give farmers access to improved beans. The beans have been bred with characteristics like high iron; some yield more produce and some are more resilient to drought. Researchers at ISABU are working with key farmers, to produce more beans. And they are linking producers who are adding value, for example by grinding beans into bean flour, to feed to children as part of a school feeding program to tackle malnutrition with World Vision. www.ciat.cgiar.org or www.pabra-africa.org
