Secretary Landgraf joined speakers at the 11th annual Saving Our Sisters Conference to educate and empower African-American girls and women about the risks of HIV/AIDS and other diseases, and how to keep themselves and the people they love protected. As of January, 3,462 Delawareans are living with HIV/AIDS, including 787 African-American women, Secretary Landgraf told the hundreds in the audience March 12 at the Downtown Doubletree Hotel.
"Just as friends do with friends," Secretary Landgraf said, "the facts are realistic -- never sugar-coated. And when it comes to taking action, the advice is straightforward and strong. It truly is about saving our sisters."
The conference is coordinated by Beautiful Gate Outreach Center in Wilmington in celebration with the National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. Other presenters included Patricia Lincoln, RN, on "HIV-34 Years Later," nurse practitioner Janice Heinssen on Hepatitis C, Dr. Lisa Phillips on sexual education for girls and women, Wilmington First Lady Shayne Williams, and the Rev. Dr. Pernessa Seele. The keynote speaker was actress Vanessa Williams ("New Jack City," "Our America"). The theme of the conference was "Celebrating the Masterpiece That I am."
In Delaware, African-Americans are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. While African-Americans make up 21% of Delaware's total population, they account for 60% of all people living with HIV/AIDS. Of the 1,070 women living with the disease in the state, 74% are African-American. "We must speak the truth," Secretary Landgraf said.
The good news is that the percentage of African-Americans being newly diagnosed with HIV is on the decline, Secretary Landgraf said. In 2001, of the 278 people newly diagnosed in Delaware, 76% were African-American. In 2015, they were 56% of the 107 newly diagnosed individuals in the state. "You are the messengers in the community," she said, "the people who can talk with others and help to reduce the incidence of HIV. You can keep yourself healthy and also the people you love."
Delaware is one of only five states that has achieved the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention goal that 90% of the individuals living with HIV know they are infected. The benefits of early treatment are critical to people diagnosed with HIV.

We managed to find this female three horned chameleon in the Ruwenzori Mountains Uganda at night. Chameleons seem to become completely white at night (I call it "turning of their energy?"), they hang down from little branches and sleep. When you walk around and shine your torche into the bush, you might be able to spot them. This one woke up and started to turn his colours back on.

The documentary Home is an eye opening film that highlights the importance of the natural events and the scarce of resources that affect the human lives. The number of resources that humans consume goes up every year, and water is one of those resources. Ecological footprint shows how much water and land is needed for one person: unfortunately, this footprint is bigger than the area that an individual lives at. The beginning of the film Home shows the importance of the term such as water cycle in our lives. Water is vital for all forms of the life on Earth, and we can't take advantage of it. For instance, Niagara Falls, the biggest waterfall on the territory of North America, has been polluted from chemical companies around its area. I visited Niagara Falls with my family last Thanksgiving, and i was fascinated by its powerful nature. It seems like nothing can harm it, however, the life of the waterfall is extremely fragile. If considering all of the chemicals that polluted Niagara Falls, it would take hundreds of years for the water to get rid off of the toxic chemicals. Just a couple of decades ago, Niagara Falls had no signs of pollution at all! Nevertheless, the film Home mentions humans’ effort to prevent an ecological catastrophe. Most of the industrial companies in the US have the rights from the special Environmental Departments to dump chemicals into the waters of the United States. The permit forces the companies to control the amounts of chemicals and their affect on Niagara Falls. Also, US government spends millions of dollars on protecting the environment around the waterfall and eliminating the risk of the environmental disaster. It seems like it's too late to be negative, however, the humans should continue to make a big effort to protect the most important part of the life cycle, water.

I'm planning to take off 3-4 weeks from work in late May - early June to go to Japan and hopefully back to Jersey. My sister and her family live in Japan, and I'm hoping I can talk my Mom into going with me. I've managed to talk her into getting a passport, so I guess that's a step in the right direction!
In the mean time I'm saving all my change and putting it into a savings account as well as a set amount from each paycheck.

“So what does Christianity have to do with the defecation problems of the world?”
That’s a question posed in Gospel for Asia (GFA) special report “Saving Lives at Risk from Open Defecation: Using Outdoor Toilets to Improve Sanitation.”
The report, written by bestselling author and speaker Karen Burton Mains, takes an in-depth—and, at times, personal—view concerning open defecation problems around the world and those specific to Asia.
