Bonita Burton-Washington discusses several demographic factors that have defined her identity, including her gender, age, socioeconomic status, and educational level. As a female, she has had to work harder than males to prove herself in different jobs while raising children alone. Though she waited a long time to return to school, she feels age does not determine success. She then shares her personal story, detailing where she grew up in Reform, Alabama, her education experiences, jobs, and her own family which now includes her three children and new husband with two children.
This document discusses how nutrition can support resilience programming and gender mainstreaming. It provides several key points:
Nutrition is both an input and outcome of resilience efforts. It is an effective entry point for addressing gender issues and multi-sectoral planning. Nutrition indicators should be used to identify vulnerable groups and target programming. Nutrition objectives should be explicitly included in resilience and disaster risk management planning. Approaches that enhance nutritional impact include diversifying livelihoods and crops to meet nutritional needs, incorporating nutrition education, and linking food/agriculture interventions to social protection.
This thesis analyzes alterations in hypersensitive response and senescence rate in BLADE-ON-PETIOLE 1/2 (BOP1/2) mutant Arabidopsis plants. BOP1/2 are involved in plant defense responses. The thesis finds that BOP1/2 mutants exhibit runaway cell death during hypersensitive response to pathogens. It also finds that BOP1/2 mutants have delayed senescence and organ production under short day conditions. This suggests BOP1/2 may regulate senescence rate by modulating plant defense pathways.
This document discusses British Swimming's Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model from 2002-2014. It outlines the early adoption and evolution of the LTAD model, strengths like improved performances and increased talent pools, and constraints like lack of understanding and flexibility. It identifies opportunities to simplify tools, blend models, and base competition on biological development. The immediate future plans include a reviewed Swimmer Support Pathway model blending key LTAD aspects and principles simply through new education tools.

The Neighborhood Academy constructed new academic buildings totaling 150,000 square feet to provide a college preparatory education for underprivileged youth. They worked with Milliken and interior design firm Stantec to create a warm, nurturing environment using custom printed carpet tiles in varied patterns and colors. The new spaces were designed to feel cozy while accommodating students for long days, and the vibrant flooring helped generate excitement on opening day and has held up well to heavy traffic. By using modular carpet tiles, the designers were able to achieve a seamless look while allowing flexibility.
The document proposes splitting an existing store into two locations to better target both current and college-aged customers. The original store would remain largely the same to retain existing customers aged 17-45, while a new store near campus would focus on college students through promotions of school sports and colors. Advertising at the new store would target students through on-campus bulletin boards, event sponsorships seen by parents and teachers, and social media. This approach aims to expand the customer base without alienating current shoppers.

Somalia resilience programming final.doc edited version (1)NE Kim
FAO works to build resilience in Somalia through three approaches: 1) Integrated humanitarian/resilience programming provides immediate assistance during crises to prevent deterioration of livelihoods; 2) Community resilience programming empowers communities to respond to shocks through livelihood diversification and infrastructure rehabilitation; 3) Institutional capacity development supports policies and programs to sustain economic growth and service delivery in the long run. FAO aims to strengthen Somali households and communities as "first responders" to humanitarian crises in the unstable context where the international community plays a major crisis response role.
The document discusses FAO's work addressing risks from H5N1 avian influenza in Egypt. It notes that Egypt has a large poultry sector that is an important part of the economy but has poor biosecurity. H5N1 was introduced in 2006 and caused major economic and health impacts. FAO implemented over $20 million in projects focused on strengthening veterinary services, surveillance systems, diagnostic capacity, and public-private partnerships to control H5N1 and other diseases.
Effect of martensite start and finish terhadap hasil pengelasan cr nihengkiirawan2008
This document discusses the effect of martensite start and finish temperatures on residual stress development in structural steel welds. Low martensite start and finish temperatures can generate compressive residual stresses by allowing expansion from martensitic transformation to compensate for thermal contraction during welding. The study developed new low-transformation-temperature welding wires and investigated their effect on martensite temperatures, microstructure, hardness, and residual stresses in single- and multi-pass welds.
The document discusses trading in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America regions. It notes that the economies of many countries in these regions are dependent on trade with the United States and opportunities provided by NAFTA. Central America has a free trade agreement with the US, while South America has been less receptive to bilateral trade deals. The regions produce and export goods like cotton, wool, and hand-woven textiles. Retail systems vary from traditional open-air markets to more advanced styles seen in North America.
This document provides an introduction to a book titled "Water Scarcity, Security and Democracy: a Mediterranean Mosaic". It discusses how water has always been a scarce yet vital resource in the Mediterranean region, shaping landscapes and societies. Ancient civilizations in the region centered around rivers, springs, and wells, which played an important cultural and social role. While water was sacred, its scarcity also led to conflicts and was used as a weapon of war. Early laws like Hammurabi's Code aimed to regulate water allocation and prevent theft or negligence. The introduction notes how population growth, climate change, and unsustainable consumption patterns are exacerbating water challenges in the region. It argues sustainable solutions require understanding water's cultural significance and changing social

This document discusses FAO's main area of work around building resilience in protracted crises (MAW-PC). It defines protracted crises as situations of long-term food insecurity and humanitarian need caused by recurring factors like conflict, weak governance, and natural hazards. The MAW-PC aims to strengthen resilience at local levels, address uncertainty, and design humanitarian programs with sustainable development in mind. It coordinates FAO's work on resilience in protracted crises and provides expertise to support country-level efforts focused on vulnerable communities' resilience.
This document discusses using the Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis (RIMA) model to evaluate resilience in the West Bank and Gaza Strip (WBGS). RIMA was used to:
1) Evaluate the impact of humanitarian interventions on livelihood resilience.
2) Produce resilience profiles of livelihood groups to inform programming.
3) Geographically target areas for assistance.
RIMA analysis is also being considered as one of three dimensions, along with poverty and diet, to measure food insecurity in WBGS. The goal is to use RIMA to help coordinate humanitarian and development actions by prioritizing interventions.
