In direct response to the worst El Nino effect and climate change in which Zimbabwe was not spared, FAO rolled out a drought mitigation strategy to ensure improved food security of drought affected households in the country.
The project, with over 8 000 households benefitting, provides access to subsidized stock feed (survival meal) and drought tolerant seeds (sorghum and cowpeas).
The training of trainers on pen-feeding of cattle and animal grading as a drought mitigation strategy has also been undertaken or is underway in the project districts. Farmers are being encouraged to use pen-fattening to obtain higher prices for cattle as they destock to maintain their (smaller) herds.

my photo teacher dropped this behemoth on me last night. You could call it a fixer upper. just need a lense for the most part.
Yesterday I had an appt with my stylist. I joked with her that it was our four year anniversary, almost to the day, since she started doing my hair. I've been feeling so bored with my hair that I decided to do something drastic and go for a longish pixie cut.
So here it is, shorter than I anticipated. I'm still not convinced that I like it but luckily everyone else seems to.
my sleep pattern. It improved once I took progesterone pills (in yellow). These are bio-identical hormones, brand Utrogestan, 100mg. At night it gets converted to Allopregnanolone, a powerful neurotransmitter. I lack progesterone AND the enzyme that breaks down the excitatory neurotransmitters (nor)adrenaline etc.
This prevents me from going into REMsleep after the initial 5 hours of nonREMsleep.

The Delaware Donation Performance Improvement Initiative through Gift of Life has increased Delaware’s organ donation rate to the highest in the U.S. For 10 years, the donation rate in Delaware had been relatively static. Secretary Landgraf and the Medical Society of Delaware asked hospitals to be open to improving that rate, and they were. Gift of Life set as a goal moving from a conversion rate of 57% to 65%. In 2015, the rate in Delaware jumped to 66% and for the last quarter of 2015 it was a whopping 79%.
Gift of Life honored those partners on April 29 at a ceremony at the Medical Society of Delaware. Health care systems and other organizations honored were: Bayhealth, Beebe Healthcare, Christiana Care Health System, Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, Nemours/A.I. duPont Hospital for Children, Saint Francis Health, the Medical Society of Delaware, Delaware Academy of Medicine/Delaware Public Health Association, DHSS, Delaware Healthcare Association, Delaware Nurses Association and Delaware Organization of Nurse Leaders.
“You have made a promise to do more and to do it better,” said Christopher Schimpf, hospital services manager for the Gift of Life Donor Program.
What those statistics mean is that Delaware is saving more lives through organ donation and transplants. In 2015, there were 62 donors in Delaware (a rate of 66 donors per million population -- highest in the U.S.) and their donated organs went to 159 transplant recipients. Secretary Landgraf thanked the hospital representatives for “advancing the most precious gift of all, the Gift of Life.”
Delaware has more work to do -- there are almost 650 of our friends and neighbors in the state on the waiting list for a transplant -- but the initiative shows what we can do when we have a plan and carry it out. Gift of Life will be presenting details of Delaware’s clinical initiative this summer at the annual conference of the North American Transplant Coordinators Organization in Orlando.
At the recognition event, attendees heard from an organ recipient, Mary Coyle, a librarian at Downes Elementary in Newark, who has had two separate kidney transplants. She received her first kidney transplant in 1990 and needed a second in 2013. Transplanted kidneys last for about 20 years. By 2012, she said she was losing steam. “I was mentally and physically drained.” In a paired transplant, her husband donated his kidney to someone else, and Mary got one from a man in California who was a match for her.
Attendees also heard from Andrea Haritos, who donated her son Cecil’s organs after he was shot and killed in 2014. She said it was easy to donate her son’s organs because “I didn’t see them.” It was more difficult to decide to donate his eyes and bones, but it is reassuring to know her son’s organs helped four older men to live. “It is such a gift,” she said, encouraging others to become designated donors. “Being a donor at any age is important,” she said.
Thank you to all of the donor families. You truly have given the Gift of Life.
To become a designated organ and tissue donor takes less than a minute online:

Nutrition is a crucial aspect that cross-cuts accross all of FAO’s work and is central in achieving the goal of zero hunger. Both small and large livestock contribute greatly to household nutrition. The ‘Making a living from Livestock’ project has been supporting an initiative on infant and young child feeding by diversifying household diets including locally available small livestock and livestock products. Through the project, Village Health Workers such as Portia Ncube have received training on infant nutritional health, diets and weight monitoring that her and her group are passing on to members of the community.
No relationship can be successful if it is taken for granted; it needs to be nurtured with commitment and conscious effort.

Your warehouse or distribution center is the heart of your entire operation, the place where you complete projects and fulfill contracts. Efficiency and productivity are crucial in a warehouse. And for your employees to be efficient and productive, the environment they work in must be conducive.
Having LED lighting in your warehouse is the starting point to enhancing safety and boosting employee productivity. While LED technology is known for the savings it offers, one of its lesser-known benefits is boosting safety. Today, we’ll be looking at 5 ways LED lighting can enhance warehouse safety.
1. It Improves Visibility, Resulting in Fewer Accidents
One of the less discussed benefits of LED lighting is the significant decrease in fire hazard risk realized when fluorescents or high intensity discharge lights are replaced with LEDs. Since LEDs pull very little electricity and produce very little heat, they are less likely to cause any type of fire.
Traditional lights waste a lot of energy as they emit 95% of the electricity they draw as heat. On the other hand, LEDs only emit 5% electricity as heat and convert 95% into light. Because traditional lights waste so much energy, they tend to get very hot. Try putting your hand close to any conventional light bulb and it can easily burn your skin. And because your hand has a different temperature, the temperature change might cause the bulb’s glass to shatter.
If traditional lights are installed incorrectly, recessed into a wall’s plaster without adequate ventilation, or left touching other materials, the heat they produce can easily cause fires. LED lights consume about one-tenth of the electricity conventional lights consume and produce the same amount of lumens (or even more). They produce very little heat and do not pose a fire hazard.
2. Decreased Work Errors
Bad lighting can cause headaches, eye strain, and poor posture. When employees are not comfortable, their concentration decreases, which affects their productivity. They are less alert and energetic and can easily make mistakes that will have a negative impact on your business or jeopardize their safety.
A light’s color temperature determines how people see objects and also impacts their mood and productivity. LED lights for a warehouse must have a color temperature between 4000K and 5000K. These lights produce bright white light that is very similar to natural light.
Get such lights for your warehouse and create a happier, productive work environment for your employees. They will find it easy to read high shelving labels and stack products properly. Shipping mistakes will also be reduced as workers will be able to read small package labels.
3. Cools Down a Warehouse
The high heat produced by traditional fixtures can cause a warehouse’s temperature to fluctuate. For instance, a warehouse may be very cool in the morning and very warm and stuffy in the afternoon. These drastic temperature changes can have a very negative impact on employee productivity.
In addition, conventional lights make the air conditioning to work extra hard to decrease the heat they produce, which means your energy bill will go through the roof. LEDs are designed to operate at lower temperatures and do not cause drastic temperature changes in spaces.
4. Reduces Damage to Property and Loss of Products
The products you store in your warehouse can make or break your business. If products get damaged or lost, your business’ bottom line will be negatively impacted. If your warehouse functions as a distribution center, you can be held liable if your customers’ products get lost or damaged. The last thing you want is your business to suffer because of bad lighting.
Since LED lights are bright and powerful, they illuminate dim corners, high shelves, and back aisles. This means your workers will easily locate products (you may have thought were lost) in the dark corners of your warehouse. LED Lighting will also ensure that your employees do not waste a lot of time searching for items that are close by.
With LED lighting, your workers will be able to organize products properly (which will ensure they don’t get damaged) and those packing them for shipping will be able to find them easily (as no product will be lost).
5. Lower Chances of Forklifts Causing Accidents
Modern warehouses are hectic places filled with a lot of activity. Most hold very many products in order to make the most revenue, which means workers are always in a hurry to do their jobs.
Forklift drivers are some of the busiest people in a warehouse as they are always organizing and rearranging products. They are always moving around in tight warehouse aisles and quickly loading and offloading products. Even the best forklift drivers hurry up to get the job done, exceeding the set speed limits in the process.
If a warehouse is poorly lit, forklift drivers can easily hit other workers or crash into products and damage them. LED lights make sure that forklift drivers see everything clearly, be it their fellow workers or objects. They can easily steer clear of them and avert disaster.
Switch to LED Technology Today
If you’re still using conventional lighting systems in your warehouse, we hope we’ve convinced you to make the switch. Create a safe work environment for your employees and take your business to the next level. LED lighting creates a win-win situation: it saves you money and protects your employees and products. That’s why upgrading to LED needs no contemplation.

With the weather improving and temperatures increasing I took a walk around the West End of Edinburgh with my friend Norman and took a mixture of Architecture, street, nature and abstract images. It was a very nice afternoon, even discovering some new hidden spots, and I'm quite pleased with the results.
