Mr. Felice Yoamou, Community Relay visits the family of little Niama, aged 2 months, to provide advice on good feeding and care practices for infants, young children and women with the help of a picture box, Kobéla convergence commune, Nzérékoré region in Guinea. UNICEF Guinea country office in collaboration with UNICEF WCARO regional office and UNICEF New York headquarters, conducted a field mission in October 2022 to review the status of the effective implementation of primary health care and the Child Friendly Communities (CFC) initiative in Nzérékoré region, Guinea.
The administrative region of Nzérékoré, located in the southeast of Guinea, 954 km from the capital Conakry, includes 6 health districts and has an estimated total population of approximately 2 million inhabitants. The epidemiological profile of this region is characterized by outbreaks of epidemics, including cases of measles, Ebola virus disease, Lassa hemorrhagic fever, and Marburg. Over the past two decades, the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene in Guinea has been committed to making maternal, newborn, and child health a priority. However, insufficient progress has been made based on the results of the DHS from 1999 to 2018. There has been a slight decrease in neonatal mortality rates from 48 to 32 per 1,000 live births, infant and child mortality from 177 per 1,000 to 111 deaths per 1,000 live births, and infant mortality from 98 deaths to 67 per 1,000 in 2018. Only 27% of children under 5 years of age sleep under Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs). 55% of children under 5 with diarrhea received treatment with Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS) and only 22% with ORS-Zinc. Only 83% of children with Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) received treatment or counseling and 30% on the same day. Only 24% of children aged 12-23 months received all vaccinations with persistent measles outbreaks. Low rate of exclusive breastfeeding 33%. High prevalence of stunting at 30%, 9% are emaciated or acutely malnourished and 16% are underweight. Low level of sanitation, 52% of households have an improved sanitation facility. The Ministry of Health's main strategy for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is based on primary health care. In 2018, UNICEF in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene (MSHP) operationalized this new policy in 40 communes known as convergence communes with the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Decentralization (MATD).

Bangor RFC v Donaghadee restart catch
Crushing win against the Dee
by Roger Corbett
In a keenly anticipated local derby, Donaghadee briefly took the lead by 3-8, until Bangor produced what is becoming something of a trademark in turning the game around, and responded with a further 53 unanswered points to win convincingly by 56-8.
The sun certainly shone on Upritchard Park on Saturday – our final corporate lunch of the season, glorious playing conditions, the earlier loss to Donaghadee avenged with style, and the 6 Nations secured in Paris. Also among the large crowd of spectators who lined the touchlines were Ulster stars Craig Gilroy and Mike McComish. With the pitch in perfect condition, and the weather conditions glorious, the scene was set for a great afternoon’s sport.
Like Bangor the week before, Donaghadee were catching up with their fixtures, and this marked their third game in 8 days. However, nobody would have thought it as they took the game to Bangor straight from the kick-off. Within a couple of minutes, they had forced a penalty in front of Bangor’s posts, which was successfully converted. However, this was soon cancelled out when the Dee conceded a penalty which Mark Thompson kicked to level the scores at 3-3 after just 6 minutes.
Worryingly for Bangor, the Dee back line were working well together and finding gaps through the centre of play. With 16 minutes gone, the Dee continued to press forward having once again broken through the Bangor line. Some slick passing from right to left found the Dee winger who ran in to score the first try of the day in the left hand corner and, with the conversion missed, re-take the lead by 3-8.
Having let the earlier game at Donaldson Park get too far away from them, Bangor knew that a quick response was needed. Most of the following play was in the Donaghadee twenty two, with Bangor patiently building their attacking platform. Although several waves were repelled by a stubborn Dee defence, persistence finally paid off when Andrew Jackson was driven over the line to score and level the scores once again.
Another successful penalty, this time by Neil Cuthbertson, put Bangor narrowly in front by 11-8 as the first half drew to a close.
One often wonders what magic words (or otherwise) are conjured up in the team huddle at half time. It may sound simple, but when play resumes Bangor appear to have identified the problems of the first half, and put together a plan to correct these in the second. As the Dee re-started the game, it is unlikely that their half time talk prepared them for what was to come.
Having immediately raised the tempo, an early Bangor attack was halted by the Dee centre killing the ball, and earning a yellow card as a result. From the penalty and subsequent line-out that followed, the well-proven ‘catch and drive’ was put to good effect, with Jamie Clegg getting the ball down in the right hand corner. The kick was missed, making the score 16-8.
At this early stage in the second half, the game was still wide open. Donaghadee’s big forwards worked hard in both the set pieces and rucks, but the positional kicking was not always as effective. On one such occasion, the high ball was safely taken in the Bangor twenty two by Richard Corbett who brought play infield before passing to Jason Morgan in the centre. Having then split the Dee back line with a great injection of pace, Morgan passed to full back Josh Devitt who had the simplest of runs to score under the posts. With Cuthbertson adding the extras, Bangor’s lead had stretched to 23-8.
It took just another 3 minutes to add a fourth try, and with it the bonus point. Once again, the move started deep in Bangor territory, with Mark Widdowson jinking his way towards the 10 metre line. Although well tackled, he managed to off-load to Morgan who advanced the move towards the Dee twenty two. Although Morgan’s path to the line was blocked, he made a well-timed pass outside to Curtis Stewart who came steaming up the left wing to score. The conversion was missed, but in the space of 10 minutes, Bangor had secured the bonus point and taken complete control as their lead was now 28-8.
As some Dee heads started to drop, and with a quarter of the game remaining, Bangor now went for the jugular. Another good combination of ball-handling and support play saw Morgan rewarded for his hard work, gathering a pop pass by Mike Weir to score under the posts. Jackson recorded his second try of the day 5 minutes later, rounding off a great move started by Ricky Armstrong, and then powerfully taken on by James Henly, before rounding the last defender to score. A further 5 minutes elapsed before Morgan got his second try, courtesy of an excellent run down the left wing by prop Phil Whyte. The rout was completed by Devitt who intercepted a loose Dee pass in his own twenty two before running the length of the pitch to top off a sparkling performance. With Cuthbertson converting all these tries, the final score had leapt to a comprehensive 56-8 victory.
This was another great Bangor performance that completely justified the final result. For the Dee, this may just have been a game too far in such a short period. However, on current form, Bangor have shown themselves to be a force to contend with, and with just 2 more league games remaining, will want to maintain this form and finish hard on Portadown’s heels. For Donaghadee’s part, their recent run of good results has placed them safely in the middle of the table, and their focus now will be on a testing Towns Cup semi-final at Ballynahinch. It would be fair to say that despite our close rivalry, we at Bangor wish them every success.

Although not strictly speaking 'street photography,' today I went to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire and I did like the strong lines in this shot I got. It also reminds me of the peacefulness of the place. My B-side wasn't up to much anyway, so I decided that I'd just put this in here to be something different.

Okay on the left we have the box
the box is more uniform in colour, and is a slightly higher cake. When just a batter , the box was not overly pleasant in the spoon licking state. During baking the smell permeated the house HOWEVER the smell didnt have a nice aroma until the last 10 minutes. Until then it was a rather 'raw?' smell.
It is more solid feeling and smells okay but doesnt have the MMMMM factor.
On the right we have 'baked from scratch. baked form scratch has had a substitution (oil from butter) to make it more equal in the playing field. the cake is however not quite as high, straight sided or even in colour (maybe the difference in sugar used??).
The batter stage of baked from scratches career was similar in texture and colour to the box but the tatse was definately more preferable. The aroma during baking was constant and consistantly good. the cake has a softer feel when lightly touched and smells great.
The taste test and interior photos will be held and posted tomorrow, the cakes will be tasted plain uniced as in my opinion a cake should be able to stand on its own to feet!
This has all happened in the interst of science and a discussion that unfolded. Published results will also include my recipe used, so anyone who wishes to try both (if you can get your hands on a BC mix) and let me know then i would love your opinion.
Until then we leave the champs cooling down in seperate corners ready for the ultimate decision. So far points have been awarded i think pretty equally with positives on both sides However as we all know The TASTE is IT!!!!
Visit: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortress_of_Louisbourg
The Fortress of Louisbourg (French: Forteresse de Louisbourg) is a National Historic Site of Canada and the location of a one-quarter partial reconstruction of an 18th-century French fortress at Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Its two sieges, especially that of 1758, were turning points in the Anglo-French struggle for what today is Canada.
The original settlement was made in 1713, and initially called Havre à l'Anglois. Subsequently, the fishing port grew to become a major commercial port and a strongly defended fortress. The fortifications eventually surrounded the town. The walls were constructed mainly between 1720 and 1740. By the mid-1740s Louisbourg was one of the most extensive (and expensive) European fortifications constructed in North America. It was supported by two smaller garrisons on Île Royale located at present-day St. Peter's and Englishtown. The Fortress of Louisbourg suffered key weaknesses, since it was erected on low-lying ground commanded by nearby hills and its design was directed mainly toward sea-based assaults, leaving the land-facing defences relatively weak. A third weakness was that it was a long way from France or Quebec, from which reinforcements might be sent. It was captured by British colonists in 1745, and was a major bargaining chip in the negotiations leading to the 1748 treaty ending the War of the Austrian Succession. It was returned to the French in exchange for border towns in what is today Belgium. It was captured again in 1758 by British forces in the Seven Years' War, after which its fortifications were systematically destroyed by British engineers. The British continued to have a garrison at Louisbourg until 1768.
The fortress and town were partially reconstructed in the 1960s and 1970s, using some of the original stonework, which provided jobs for unemployed coal miners. The head stonemason for this project was Ron Bovaird. The site is operated by Parks Canada as a living history museum.
French settlement on Île Royale (now Cape Breton Island) can be traced to the early 17th century following settlements in Acadia that were concentrated on Baie Française (now the Bay of Fundy) such as at Port-Royal and other locations in present-day peninsular Nova Scotia
In 1713, France set about constructing Port Dauphin and a limited naval support base at the former site of Fort Ste-Anne; however, the winter icing conditions of the harbour led the French to choose another harbour on the southeastern part of Île Royale. The harbour, being ice-free and well protected, soon became a winter port for French naval forces on the Atlantic seaboard and they named it Havre Louisbourg after King Louis XIV.
The Fortress of Louisbourg was the capital for the colony of Île-Royale, and was located on the Atlantic coast of Cape Breton Island near its southeastern point. The location for the fortress was chosen because it was easy to defend against British ships attempting to either block or attack the St. Lawrence River, at the time the only way to get goods to Canada and its cities of Quebec and Montreal. South of the fort, a reef provided a natural barrier, while a large island provided a good location for a battery. These defences forced British ships to enter the harbour via a 500-foot (150 m) channel. The fort was built to protect and provide a base for France's lucrative North American fishery and to protect Quebec City from British invasions. For this reason it has been given the nicknames ‘Gibraltar of the North’ or the ‘Dunkirk of America.’ The fort was also built to protect France’s hold on one of the richest fishing grounds in the world, the Grand Banks. One hundred and sixteen men, ten women, and twenty-three children originally settled in Louisbourg. (Wikipedia)

Whitinsville Christian beats Watertown, 42- 36, for D3 boys' title.STATE BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS..By Jim Wilson TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF.jimwilson@telegram.com..Taylor Bajema had a game-high 14 points and sank three foul shots in the final moments as Whitinsville Christian hung on to defeat Watertown, 42-36, today to capture the Division 3 boys' basketball state title at the DCU Center...Hans Miersma and Colin Richey each added 12 points for Whitinsville Christian...The Crusaders shook off a sluggish start that saw the Red Raiders jump out to a 9-2 lead thanks to a trio of 3-pointers from Cory Donahue..Whitinsville Christian (23-2) cut the lead to 9-7 at the end of the first quarter, then got going in the second quarter to take a 21-15 lead at the break. Richey and Bajema worked outside to go into the locker rooms with seven points each, as the Crusaders limited Watertown to just 10 of 31 shooting from the floor -- and forced the Red Raiders to miss all eight of their 3-point attempts in the quarter..Watertown tied the game, 30-30, in the fourth quarter, but Whitinsville Christian responded with a layup from Richey, then a free throw from Miersma. After a Red Raiders' bucket cut the lead back to one, Richey found Miersma with a nice pass for a layup, then Peter Koopman hit a free throw and Miersma sank two foul shots of his own to put Whitinsville Christian up, 38-32, with 1:30 left in the game..The Crusaders allowed just one more field goal down the stretch, as Bajema hit three foul shots and Grant Brown hit another to seal the win...“It feels so good right now, it's amazing,” Miersma said. "We haven't played a team that physical all year and they were all over us. We got used to it, especially in the second half and that's when we started to roll.”

This time it's a scene from the G1 episode 'The Immobilizer', which introduced Carly for the first time, starring RotF Human Alliance Bumblebee, Sam and Mikaela. You can see the original scene here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-GFDzqhG6Q#t=2m00s
Basically Wheeljack sends Bumblebee and Spike to Toshi Station for some power converters or whatever, and they decide to hang out at Robots Video Arcade and play Robot Resource instead, where they run into Carly. The scale in this scene is hilariously off, so the pointedly in-scale Human Alliance figures immediately sprang to mind. That arcade game doesn't even come up to Bumblebee's knee! Besides, in any continuity, the ladies only love Witwicky for his car. His crazy, double bonus points earning car.
