South Sudan is a landlocked country in Eastern Central Africa, home to more than 12.5 million people and in 2018 has been classified as the most fragile state in the world, according to the Fragile States Index. Some of the many reasons for this fragility include armed conflict, inter-communal violence, economic decline, disease, and climate shocks, resulting in some of the world’s poorest health and development indicators.
From December 2013, after only two years of independence, up to August 2018, when a peace agreement was signed between the many warring parties, South Sudan had remained locked in conflict. The severity of the crisis has led to thousands of lives being lost directly through fighting and indirectly through disease (among other causes).
Since the outbreak of the crisis, 4.1 million people have become displaced, including 2.2 million who have fled to neighbouring countries, leaving 1.9 million others internally displaced. This has resulted in a nation that is now suffering from severe hunger and malnutrition, with one in three children characterised as acutely malnourished and 6.4 million people living with severe food insecurity.
South Sudan - Public Health Crisis
South Sudan is experiencing a public health crisis. It suffers from a heavy burden of malaria, which is made worse by violence and displacement. Displaced people are particularly vulnerable to communicable diseases, as exemplified by the increase in malaria outbreaks in recent years, in particular in the country’s camps for internally displaced persons (IDP), the Protection of Citizen Camps (PoCs) as well as refugee camps. Malaria has crippled more communities across the country than any other. With an estimated number of 1.8 million cases and more than 6,000 deaths in 2017 it remains the top public health priority in South Sudan. Other tropical diseases taking their toll on the health of South Sudan’s population include diarrhoeal diseases, Onchocerciasis (River Blindness), Lymphatic Filariasis, Visceral Leishmaniasis, Schistosomiasis, Soil-Transmitted Helminths, Trachoma and others.
The MENTOR Initiative aligns its approach with the WHO Integrated Vector Management (IVM) strategy and effective malaria case management.
The IVM package combines vector breeding site reduction and control (with WASH activities focused on surface water treatment, hard and soft waste management, and behaviour change) as well as direct protection from infection, through the implementation of:
- Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS): Interior walls of human and animal shelters are sprayed with insecticide to ensure 6-9 months of control of malarial mosquitoes and other household insects.
- Larviciding (Larval Source Management): Regular treatment of open surface water in the camps that otherwise provides a breeding site for malaria (Anopheles) mosquitoes and containerized water (drums, used tyres etc.), the preferred breeding site for mosquitoes (Aedes) that are capable of transmitting Dengue, Chikungunya and Yellow Fever.
- Fly Control: Regular treatment of potential fly breeding sites, such as pit latrines, waste disposal sites, animal manure and open defecation sites to curb the adult fly population in an effort to prevent fly-borne diseases.
- Medical Commodities: MENTOR supplies health facilities in its operational areas with medical commodities like Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) for diseases such as malaria, leishmaniasis, dengue fever and others, malaria drugs for treatment and prevention (in pregnancy) of malaria, syringes and more. Donations of medical commodities happen on a gap-filling basis to prevent stock-outs.
- Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) messaging: Teaching safe vector-borne disease practices and how to prevent contracting the diseases. Examples are the use of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs), avoiding creating mosquito breeding sites, recognising disease symptoms and seeking early treatment as well as going for regular Antenatal Care (ANC) check-ups during pregnancy.
- WASH Activities: The MENTOR Initiative implements hygiene promotion activities in targeted areas to increase community awareness and knowledge around inadequate hygiene practices whilst interactively guiding through feasible, realistic and effective behaviour change to prevent water-borne diseases.
- Mass Drug Administration (MDA): The MENTOR Initiative has so far implemented two MDA campaigns in South Sudan. MDA is a means of delivering essential medicines based on the principles of preventive chemotherapy. Populations are offered treatment without any individual diagnosis taking place beforehand. The aim is to prevent and alleviate symptoms and morbidity and to also reduce disease transmission. MDA is the recommended strategy of the World Health Organization to control or eliminate several neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).
MENTOR in South Sudan
The MENTOR Initiative began partnering with the Government of South Sudan and its country partnership of the United Nations (UN), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) as well as Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs) in 2012, in order to find effective, timely and scalable solutions to vector-borne disease control. Efforts have been made to reduce the heavy burden of malarial and other vector-borne diseases amongst the most vulnerable displaced and isolated communities affected by conflict, displacement, malnutrition and flooding, while also working to mitigate the risk and impact of disease epidemics. To date, MENTOR has focused support on communities in Warrap, Abeyi, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Upper Nile, Lakes and Unity states.
Bentiu PoC, Rubkona- Former Unity State
The MENTOR IRS campaign, supported by UNICEF, for 2018 in Bentiu PoC was completed in August, reaching a total of 117,204 internally displaced persons. IRS sprayers are also accompanied by mobilizers, who are tasked to educate households on preventing and controlling malaria through the proper use of mosquito nets, the signs and symptoms of malaria and treatment-seeking behaviour. MENTOR also treats mosquito breeding sites as part of its Larval Source Management (LSM) campaigns on a regular basis as well as potential fly breeding sites. To determine the impact the activities, have on the local mosquito population, a number of entomological sentinel sites routinely collect data on key entomological parameters, such as mosquito population density, the predominant mosquito species as well as mosquito resting and biting behaviours.
Malakal PoC, Former Upper Nile State
The 2018 MENTOR IRS campaign in Malakal PoC, also supported by UNICEF, was completed in July, reaching a total of 28,372 IDPs. IRS sprayers are also accompanied by mobilizers, who deliver VBD IEC messages to all households.
As in Bentiu PoC, MENTOR also treats mosquito breeding sites as part of its LSM campaigns on a regular basis as well as potential fly breeding sites. Several entomological sentinel sites also collect data on key entomological data, such as mosquito population density, predominant mosquito species as well as mosquito resting and biting behaviours.
Maban County, former Upper Nile State
The MENTOR Initiative has been active in Maban since 2013 and implements VBD control activities in all four refugee camps in the county. As of 2019, all camps combined are temporarily home to over 146,000 refugees, which have fled violent conflicts in the border region of South Sudan and Sudan.
MENTOR’s yearly IRS campaigns, supported by the United States’ Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, target every shelter in the camps, just before the yearly rains start, to protect people throughout the malaria high-transmission season. IRS in Maban also protects people from sandflies, which transmit Visceral Leishmaniasis, a disease that is highly endemic in this region of the country.
MENTOR also regularly carries out LSM and fly control activities. These activities are complemented by IEC sessions in the camps, whereby refugees are invited to learn about malaria and other VBDs, how to prevent them, signs and symptoms and when and where to seek treatment. The refugees can then pass the information and messages on to their family and relatives, resulting in a multiplication effect.
Furthermore, training and technical coaching is being provided to health care providers and managers/supervisors from health facilities in and around the camps on malaria and other VBD diagnosis as well as correct treatment of diagnosed diseases. Additionally, MENTOR also supplies medical commodities to these health facilities to prevent them from experiencing episodes of stock-outs and the subsequent inability to correctly diagnose and treat tropical diseases.
Jamjang County, Ruweng State
In Jamjang County, MENTOR is active in two refugee camps since 2018: Pamir and Ajoung Thok. Like in Maban, the programme is supported by the United States’ Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration. The yearly IRS campaign targets both camps and protects over 65,000 refugees from disease-transmitting mosquitoes, which thrive during and after the rainy season as the result of an abundance of breeding sites. IRS in Jamjang also protects people from sandflies, which transmit Visceral Leishmaniasis, a disease that is endemic in the state.
In addition, MENTOR carries out LSM and fly control activities in the two camps as well as IEC sessions on malaria and other VBDs, how to prevent them, signs and symptoms and when and where to seek treatment. In Jamjang, MENTOR also disseminates health- and VBD-related information though radio shows.
Training and technical coaching is also being provided to health care providers and managers/supervisors from health facilities in and around the camps on malaria and other VBD diagnosis as well as correct treatment of diagnosed diseases. Additionally, MENTOR also supplies medical commodities to these health facilities to prevent them from experiencing episodes of stock-outs and the subsequent inability to correctly diagnose and treat tropical diseases.
Aweil East, Northern Bahr el Ghazal
In Aweil, MENTOR is involved in community hygiene promotion activities to reduce water-washed and water-borne diseases amongst the most vulnerable communities. Hygiene promotion activities increase community awareness and knowledge around inadequate hygiene practices whilst interactively guiding through feasible, realistic and effective behaviour changes. A list of community-based hygiene promotional approaches is applied to reach different levels of community structures with emphasis placed on household reach through door-to-door messaging and community hygiene sensitization meetings. Besides the community Health Promotion interventions, institutional hygiene promotion is also being conducted at health and education facilities, e.g. children at schools and mothers with malnourished children at an outpatient therapeutic feedings centre and peripheral health facilities.
Western Equatoria State
In 2018 in the state of Western Equatoria, the MENTOR Initiative implemented the second Mass Drug Administration campaign since 2017. Onchocerciasis and Lymphatic Filariasis were the targeted diseases, using a combination of two different drugs. The campaign was supported by Sightsavers and the END Fund.
Despite ongoing fighting and displacement of populations, the MENTOR team managed to distribute the drugs to 562,561 people to treat and prevent both diseases, which can, among a multitude of symptoms, lead to permanent blindness and severe bodily disfigurement.
The Way Forward
MENTOR remains committed to delivering health as well as VBD control and prevention services to the most vulnerable populations in different regions of South Sudan. With the security situation remaining fragile even despite the signed peace agreement, internal displacement is estimated to remain high. Neighbouring countries like Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Central African Republic experience political turmoil, with armed conflicts and ethnical clashes leading to people fleeing to South Sudanese territory and temporarily settling into makeshift camps. The country remains endemic for a multitude of tropical diseases, which can thrive in displacement settings. MENTOR will therefore seek to continue its current activities to reduce deaths and suffering from tropical diseases in South Sudan.

Rome might be the Eternal City and Milan the world’s fashion capital, but Florence is one of the Earth’s most pedestrian-friendly cities.
Walking is the best way to soak in the historic, sometimes-fairy-tale-like Florentine atmosphere. The Renaissance buildings, narrow cobblestone streets, wide piazzas and centuries-old bridges spanning the Arno River bring pedestrian sightseers the quintessential Italian city experience. Many of the city’s main sights are located in its historic central district. Attractions that can be reached easily on foot include the incomparable Uffizi Gallery, the Piazzale Michelangelo, and the famous Ponte Vecchio, shown here.

Filmed for the first time in 3D and for the giant screen, JERUSALEM immerses audiences into one of the world's most beloved cities. Discover why this tiny piece of land is sacred to three major religions through the stories of Jewish, Christian and Muslim families who call Jerusalem home. Join renowned archaeologist, Dr. Jodi Magness, as she travels underground to solve some of this city’s greatest mysteries. Find out why, after thousands of years, Jerusalem and the Holy Land continue to stir the imagination of billions of people. Unprecedented access to the city's holiest sites, as well as rare and breathtaking aerial footage of the Old City and the Holy Land, combine to make JERUSALEM a unique and stunning cinematic experience.
Jerusalem stirs passions so deep and its role in Western civilization is so pivotal that we as filmmakers felt moved to bring this city to the world through the beauty and power of the giant screen.
Our goal is to look at the roots of the universal attachment to Jerusalem: Jewish, Christian and Muslim. We hope the juxtaposition of these different religions and cultures – all with profound spiritual and historical connections to the city – will reveal how much Jews, Christians and Muslims have in common and inspire all of us to better understand each other.
Our film is not about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It embraces the idea that Jerusalem is many cities: imagined and real; past and present; Jewish, Christian, Muslim and secular. We are trying to answer the question: Why Jerusalem? What is it about this tiny space that made it the ultimate prize of empires and the object of longing for so many different cultures over thousands of years?
We believe that the power of the images and stories in JERUSALEM will allow our audience a unique window into the lives of others. Every stone in Jerusalem has many stories. It is the collective power of all these stories that makes the city so endearing to billions of people.

The project "Discover the Natural Treasures of South Westphalia"
The wonders of nature – a special experience.
50 areas that are particularly suitable for experiencing the wonders of nature are presented to you here: From primeval forest to moors, wet meadows and rocks; from species-rich meadows and pastures to floodplains and near-natural stream valleys. For each area there is a map with suggested routes for hikers and cyclists, as well as information about the area and its flora and fauna. There are also tips about nearby places of interest, so that everybody is able to combine the visit to our natural treasures with other activities.
The project "Naturschätze Südwestfalens entdecken" was launched as part of the Regionale programme in May 2013. The Regionale is a structural funding programme of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, under which a different region is presented every three years and various projects are implemented to promote that region. The Regionale South Westphalia 2013 was implemented jointly by the five district authorities Olpe, Siegen-Wittgenstein, Märkischer Kreis, Hochsauerlandkreis and Soest, and was organized and coordinated by the South Westphalia Agency. The state of North Rhine Westphalia, represented by the Arnsberg District Authority, took over the financing of the project.
The aim of the project "Discover the natural treasures of South Westphalia" is to develop a multimedia nature guide for the 50 areas. Modern and classic media present the natural treasures. A pocket book was published in autumn 2014. Digital media round off the presentation. In addition to the project website on the Internet, there is a smartphone app which enables you to learn all about the natural treasures and navigate in the areas. From June 2016, it has been possible to call up videos or short audio files at certain points. Communal districts and municipalities can draw attention to the project by means of a traveling exhibition.
The Project Management Organisation is the conservation group Arbeitsgemeinschaft Biologischer Umweltschutz (ABU) in the District of Soest.
The project partners are:

I am actually embarrassed to say that up until the 27th of November 2012, I had never been up Table Mountain. Now I have been living here all my life (22 years) and I never went up. I always wondered how it looks up there. So I decided one day to go up with my dad, his cousin and a friend. We took the cable car up, which was pretty quick and then we went for a two and a half hour walk. The walk was long and tiring but it was worth it to just be in the nature away from cars, computers and noisy taxi drivers. I used my Nike + Sportswatch GPS to map and record the walk. It was about 5.8kms. You can check the map and stats here.
We went to Maclears Beacon, then Echo Valley and then landed back at the start. We found a cave that had writing, that must have been chiseled onto it, that dated back to 1891 ( if you don’t believe me check the pics). Inside the cave it must have been about 10 degrees. It was so hot outside that we sat down in the cave and had our lunch. I am pretty sure back in the day, someone lived there. If I ever need to disappear for a while, the cave will be my home!


This is the number of businesses with 50 or more employees per 1000 persons by zip code. Is is taken from the U.S. 2006 Economic Census Zip Code Business Patterns and compared against population counts from the 2000 decennial census. It was decided that this would be a more robust number than trying to resolve estimated population projections for 2006 down to the zip code level.
The number of businesses with 50 or more employees in a location as compared to that location's population is a measure of a location's economic base and employment capacity. Over time it is also used to analyze changes in the structure and location of area businesses, and the need to attract new business or retain existing firms.
The economic data is pulled from the U.S. Annual Economic Census ZIP Code Business Patterns (ZCBP) reports for 2006. The population data is from the 2000 census, field P001001: Total Population. They can both be found on FactFinder:

Starting in December, California faced a dramatic spike in virus cases concentrated in the southern part of the state and in its main agricultural region, the Central Valley, as well as the spread of a new local strain that may be more transmissible.
Mr. Garcetti said that hospitalizations in Los Angeles were down to about 3,700 on Wednesday, the lowest number in months.
City officials said one of the main issues that led to the shortage was the unpredictability of their allocation of doses. The city does not have its own public health department and receives doses from the county, but the uncertainty at the county, state and federal levels over how many doses are coming in per week has made long-term planning difficult.
“We don’t know what we’re going to get,” said Christopher Covino, who helps oversee vaccine distribution for Mr. Garcetti. “Think of it like income. If I don’t know how much money I’m going to make next week, what do I buy? If you’re planning your life around that, it’s impossible. And if you’re planning a whole massive vaccination program where you’re trying to vaccinate 20,000 people a day, it’s an issue.”
Dodger Stadium was one of several mass vaccination sites to open at stadiums and convention centers across the country. The sites typically give out doses by the thousands in a drive-through format, allowing people to remain in their vehicles. But the mass-vaccine model has run into supply, technical and logistical problems. In Dallas, city officials struggled with technical glitches in its appointment registration system that led to people being turned away at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
Two mass vaccine sites in Arizona, at State Farm Stadium and the Phoenix Municipal Stadium, were not in danger of running out of vaccine, but officials were limiting appointments at the sites based on the anticipated supply of the Pfizer vaccine, said a spokesman with the Arizona Department of Health Services.
Despite shortage concerns, Los Angeles will continue its mobile vaccination program, Mr. Garcetti said. “We can’t afford to see the outbreaks and, quite frankly, the unequal deaths that we’re seeing in communities of color,” he said.

I started the next day
I moved to St. Augustine, Florida, a few months ago. My girlfriend and I were living together in Northeast Florida and we broke up. I had to move out of our apartment and I did not want to stay in the same city. My parents were living in St. Augustine, so I decided to move back in with them for a short time. I didn’t have a hard time finding a job, because I am a certified heating and air conditioning repair technician. I was working in Northeast Florida at a commercial air conditioning repair company and as soon as I moved to St. Augustine, I found a job working at a commercial and residential air conditioning repair company here. I was in town for one day and then I heard that the St. Augustine air conditioning repair company was hiring. I called the store and asked if I could speak with the owner about a job. The person on the phone told me to come down to the office if I was interested in working. The next morning I showed up at 9:00 a.m. The manager of the air conditioning repair business asked me a couple of questions and I showed him my credentials. That afternoon I got fitted for a uniform and filled out all of my paperwork. I started the next day. It only took 6 weeks of working at the air conditioning repair business before I could move out of my parents place and into an apartment of my own. I’m out by I-95, where I have lots of access to restaurants and shopping.


Welcome to the Torridge Methodist Circuit website. The Torridge Circuit straddles the whole length of The Torridge River from source to sea. Its area includes the bustling market towns of Bideford and Great Torrington, the coastal villages of Clovelly and Westward Ho!, and many typical Devon villages linked by deep lanes winding through peaceful farmland.
(The Bideford and Shebbear Circuit came into being on 1st September 2011. It was an amalgamation of two former Circuits – the Bideford Circuit and the Shebbear Circuit. Two years later we have found the right name for ourselves -Torridge.)
Mission Statement: We, the Christian people of the Methodist churches of the Torridge Circuit, are working together to deepen our love of God through worship and service, and to express our love of God by making, and nurturing new disciples of Jesus Christ.
Mission statements of themselves will not take us very far without a vision. Visions are caught not taught. They stir the heart as well as the mind. There have been many visions that have impacted the Shebbear Circuit and beyond in the last ten years, some of which are retold on this website under “Kingdom Visions” in the “Ministries” tab.
On this website you can discover details about our Ministers, our Circuit Stewards, our Churches/Chapels and find a copy of the latest quarterly Preaching Plan. The “About us” page indicates the range of material on this website, as do the tabs “Christians”, “Ministries“, “Our Heritage”, and “Our Future”, across the top bar. Local events will be found in the current Circuit Newsletter.
We have begun the process of looking for a new Minister to serve in the Circuit from September 2014. The Minister will live in the splendid Shebbear Manse just a field away from Lake Farmhouse, the historic Bible Christian birthplace; Lake Chapel (shared with Shebbear College); and the College itself. Information about all the local Primary schools is here and Secondary Schools here.

With the launch of the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple enables spatial video capturing
Users of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max can now shoot spatial movies with iOS 17.2, a revolutionary new feature that enables users capture life’s key moments. Beginning early next year, customers will be able to revisit those memories on Apple Vision Pro.
According to Greg Joswiak, senior vice president of worldwide marketing at Apple, “the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max feature the most powerful camera systems they ever developed, including the best video quality in any smartphone.” “And now, by allowing people to capture unique experiences as they transpired, they raising the bar for what may be achieved. They are excited for people to be able to see the enchanted realm of spatial films on Apple Vision Pro in the early part of 2019.
Turn on iPhone’s Spatial Video Capture feature
Users may take use of the sophisticated camera systems on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max to record their favorite moments in three dimensions after they have enabled spatial video capture in Settings. Standard dynamic range 1080p 30 frames per second video is used to record spatial movies. The HEVC compression and sophisticated computational videography methods used by the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max provide breathtaking spatial memories in small file sizes.
Making Outstanding Spatial Videos
It’s as simple to record spatial movies on an iPhone as it is to record normal videos: Rotate your iPhone to landscape mode, hit the spatial video symbol, and then choose Record while the Camera app is open in video mode. The iPhone records video using its superior Main and Ultra Wide cameras simultaneously. It then combines the Ultra Wide camera’s field of vision with the Main camera’s to create a single video file.
Watching Videos in Space
Spatial films may be seen or shared via applications like Messages, much as ordinary 2D videos, on the iPhone and other smartphones. All of the spatial movies that users take will sync with iCloud across all of their devices, and they can discover all of their captured videos in a new Spatial album in the Photos app.
With Apple Vision Pro, spatial films are brought to life. Users will be able to watch films in life-size with stunning clarity and vibrant color via iCloud, which will allow them to access their whole collection in the Photos app. Spatial films on Apple Vision Pro may be enlarged into an immersive view or played again in a window, taking viewers back to specific moments in time, such as a memorable family get-together or party.
Prior to the release of Apple Vision Pro, owners of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max may start recording moments with loved ones to cherish for later use with Apple Vision Pro thanks to the availability of spatial video capture on these devices.


Tyréns is currently running a development project comprising several subprojects, which are described below, all of which aim to increase our knowledge in order to secure a safer supply of drinking water.
Identifying and managing strategic drinking water resources
By developing a method in which strategic drinking water resources are systematically identified and managed in a transparent way, the chances are increased that they will be available in the future despite climate changes and competing interests.
A more general method, which is based on multi-criteria analysis, has been developed. This can also be used as an aid to decision making in other questions concerning the drinking water supply. It is important for the method be transparent because the conditions and valuation criteria may change over time and may be affected by various events such as, for example, outbreaks of water-borne disease. In such a case, it will be possible to work back through the chain and adjust the criteria or ranking without needing to start again from the beginning.
The method that has been developed in the project has been applied to a number of case studies concerning different types of issue. These include providing data for analyses of a municipal water supply plan as well as providing data for choosing a long-term sustainable water and wastewater supply in a transformation area. It has also been used to provide support for analysis and comparisons between different water resources or water intakes as data for strategic choices, including the analysis of different alternatives and strategies for backup water supply in Stockholm County. In connection with the applications, the method has been tested from different angles and contexts, which has resulted in its subsequent further development.
GIS support for prioritising parasite sources – evaluation of proliferation models
The Cryptosporidium and Giardia parasites have caused expensive outbreaks of water-borne diseases in Scandinavia in recent years. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) can be helpful in localising the sources of proliferation in the run-off area and, combined with hydrological modelling, constitute a powerful tool for analysing the health risks of raw water.
The aim of this project was to evaluate the usefulness of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) for analysing the origin and proliferation of E. coli as well as other species of the Cryptosporidium parasite in surface water intakes. An interdisciplinary project group and a reference group with the authorities concerned has assisted in assuring the quality of the model design.
Three SWAT models were set up, two within the run-off area for the Göta Älv river (the Slumpån river and upstream of Trollhättan’s raw water intake) and one in Lake Mälaren’s run-off area (upstream of Stäket). The sources of proliferation included municipal wastewater (emissions from sewage treatment plants and overflow points), private wastewater, muck spreading as well as grazing stock.
In order to give a representative picture of probable and relevant conditions, modelling was performed for various scenarios. Five base scenarios (S0A-S0E) were chosen to describe probable situations regarding the spread of faecal material and various levels (prevalence) of Cryptosporidium infection in humans and animals.
Seven action scenarios (S1-S7) were analysed, where the effect of the measures taken in the run-off areas were presented as a log-reduction compared to the base scenario, S0D. The best fit to the modelled and measured levels of E. coli were in the Trollhättan model area. For this area, an infection risk analysis (MRA) was performed.
The run-off areas with relatively detailed information on point sources and diffuse sources (Slumpån river) are better suited for analysis with the SWAT tool compared to the large run-off areas where there is scanty information about the point sources (Lake Mälaren) or where the inflow to the model area largely controls the microbiological levels at the outflow node (Trollhättan). SWAT could possibly be used for calculating the proliferation of other pathogens, for example norovirus.
Ground water that is safe for health in a changed climate: Microbial risk analysis
The influence of wastewater is a common cause of water-borne infections in the production of drinking water based on ground water. For municipal ground water intakes, the awareness and opportunities for protection are presumably greater than is the case for private drinking water wells, but even in these facilities, water-borne infections occur. For municipal drinking water treatment plants taking their supply from surface water, microbial risk analysis (MRA) has been in use for several years as a tool to estimate the infection risk for a specific system, where the raw water quality and separation in preparatory stages during normal operation and during impaired function affect the risk. For ground water treatment plants, the industry has lacked an analysis tool for quantifying the microbiological risks, this includes for assessing the barrier effect in saturated and unsaturated zones.
In this project, a MRA tool has been developed and implemented to estimate infection risks for municipal ground water treatment plants and for private drinking water wells. The project, which was performed jointly with drinking water researchers at Chalmers, included:
- Identifying ground water intakes subject to microbiological risks, describing sources of proliferation and microbiological barriers;
- Based on literature studies, selecting methods for estimating the reduction of bacteria, viruses and parasites in saturated and unsaturated zones;
- Establishing estimation models in the Analytica® software, where this information is used for the risk analysis of municipal ground water treatment plants;
- Implementing the MRA tool in three case studies at municipal ground water intakes;
While groundwater intakes with natural infiltration may be exposed to pathogens from small drains, leaking sewers and muck spreading, basin infiltration means that large volumes of the surface water are infiltrated, with a consequently potentially large risk for a small unsaturated zone and short transport times. Viruses from humans, for example the norovirus, are the category of pathogens with the best chances of penetrating soil strata; however, the transport, and thus the risk, is controlled by both natural and operational factors.
An MRA tool for ground water treatment plants has been developed in Analytica®, where the results from field tests are implemented in the calculation modules for bacteria, viruses and parasites in unsaturated and saturated zones. A calculation module has been set up for modelling the transport of viruses in saturated zones. The MRA tool builds on the existing model for surface water treatment plants and, thus, can be easily extended with additional preparation steps, such as UV light. The tool has been evaluated in several case studies; two in the ground water intakes at Forslunda in Umeå Municipality and one in Magra, Alingsås Municipality. The results from the analyses have been presented and discussed with each municipality.
Method for formulating water protection regulations
The formulation of water protection for municipal sources of water is a hard and extensive process. The study aims at developing a method to streamline the work with formulating regulations as well as to raise the quality and the legal security. This has included developing the coupling between the regulations and a risk analysis.
The regulations drawn up must be legally sustainable. Regulations are frequently questioned. In the study, the possibility of considering case law as early as the formulation of the regulations was investigated. It must be possible to justify the restriction levels selected. Today, there are no recommendations on how this process should be pursued and documented. In many cases, the available recommendations are contradictory and difficult to apply in practise. The conclusion is that they need to be revised and developed, this includes taking into consideration other legislation.
In the study, case law and guideline judgements, where water protection regulations were examined, were inventoried. The bodies from which such decisions and judgements were taken include the Government, the Land and Environmental Court and the Supreme Administrative Court. A comparison was then made with the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s general recommendations.
In the project, a method was developed for making risk assessments and how this should lead to a risk level. A specification of what constitutes risk in an activity. For example, pesticides can involve a risk during transport, storage and spreading. The different risks associated with the example of pesticides may need to be described and regulated in different ways. The method will make possible structured work including risk assessment.
In the project, a method was identified for describing the conditions for ground water movements in a significantly easier way than is the case in conventional hydrogeological surveys.
In the “Slug-interference” method, wave movements in the ground water are used to determine the ground’s properties. A pressure wave is induced at one point and it is read off at several other points. The calculation program transforms the wave movements measured into hydrogeological parameters. A suitable program has been selected for this purpose and the method will be evaluated in trials and compared to conventional methods.

Metropolitan regions, understood here as coupled human-environment systems comprised of urban agglomerations and their peri-urban hinterlands, are subject to both challenges and opportunities for attaining the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. With the global megatrend of urbanization expected to further increase the urban share of the world populationfrom about 55 percent in 2018 to 68 percent by 2050, substantial transformations of metropolitan regions are urgently needed to attain those goals. Understanding transformations of metropolitan regions, and navigating those transformations towards more sustainable pathways, is therefore of utmost societal relevance.
Our mission is to advance the scientific understanding of spatial transformations of metropolitan regions, and to generate strategies for navigating those transformations towards more sustainable pathways in collaboration with knowledge holders from science, practice, and policy.
We strive for excellence in research in the interdisciplinary field of geography to emerge as an internationally visible center for research on metropolitan transformations, to provide best-available teaching to support the efforts of our students to learn relevant theories, methods, and practical applications, and to serve society by contributing to a sustainable transformation of metropolitan regions. We understand sustainable transformations as pathways of change in metropolitan regions that advance the goals of sustainable development, especially Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11), Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7), Climate Action (SDG 13), Life on Land (SDG 15), and Quality Education (SDG 4).
We actively contribute to major research and innovation initiatives at the Ruhr University Bochum (e.g. Digitalization Strategy, Internationalization Strategy, Research-based Learning) and in the University Alliance Ruhr (e.g. the Competence Field Metropolitan Research, Alliance for East Asia Ruhr). Our research and teaching is in line with major international research efforts as stipulated, among others, by the Global Land Program (GLP) and the Program on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) of Future Earth. Our work is inherently international, focusing on the transformation of metropolitan regions in Europe, Asia and beyond, involving intensive collaborations with colleagues worldwide.
We perceive our co-generation of excellent research not only as an end in itself but as the basis for delivering societal impact and contributing to the advancement of multiple transformations towards more sustainable metropolitan development.
We do so by embedding our research in local initiatives, including efforts towards a sustainable campus of the Ruhr University, and the facilitation of Living Labs for sustainable transformations for neighborhoods, cities, and metropolitan regions. A key contribution in this regard is also our focus on geography didactic and researchbased teaching, aiming to enhance geographical literacy and understanding among students in high school, university and further education in the context of lifelong learning and educating future teachers around issues of sustainable development.

A much needed break was made super easy thanks to Karen !Many thanksThe Marsdens xVerifiedCharlotte26 December 2023Karen’s cottage is absolutely beautiful. The photos do not do it justice or show how large it is. It was spotlessly clean and decorative to a very high standard. The beds and sofas were very comfortable.

There was a private driveway to park our car right in front of the cottage. The location is peaceful but within walking distance to local amenities.

Is CBD Oil Legal in Mexico?
November 19, 2019
All across the globe, cannabis law reform is ongoing – and it appears the trend is headed toward legalization. Since Colorado and Washington became the first states in the US to legalize recreational cannabis in 2012, Alaska, Oregon, Vermont, California, Nevada, Maine, Illinois, Michigan, Massachusetts, and the District of Columbia have all followed suit, with even more states allowing medical marijuana or decriminalizing cannabis in lieu of full legalization.
So, Is CBD Oil Legal in Mexico?
The U.S. isn’t the only country experiencing widespread cannabis reform. As of October 2018, cannabis has been fully legalized in Canada, making it the 2 nd country to do so after Uruguay in 2013. States in the US continue to legalize each year with federal legalization looming on the horizon. But what about our neighbors to the south? Is cannabis, or CBD oil for that matter, legal in Mexico?
In 2009, in an effort to decrease cartel activity, Mexico decriminalized marijuana, allowing possession of up to five grams with no ramifications. Ten years later, Mexico is yet to legalize marijuana officially, however, in October 2018, the Supreme Court ruled that blanket prohibition of marijuana was unconstitutional and impeded on citizens’ rights to “personal development.” This was the fifth time the court had come to such a verdict – an important detail in this case, because in Mexico, once a similar verdict has been reached five times in the Supreme Court, it becomes the set standard.
As a result of this new standard, it is now up to Mexico’s federal courts to ultimately decide the legality of recreational use, possession, and growing of cannabis. The October ruling established a one-year deadline for a vote on legalization. But an onslaught of lobbying from cannabis companies has impeded the process, and that deadline has been extended to April 30, 2020, as the many complexities of a new legal market across an entire country – requiring input from both lawmakers and the public – continue to be addressed.
In 2017, Mexico legalized medicinal use of cannabis containing less than 1% THC, opening the doors for CBD distribution and consumption nationwide. After the 2018 Supreme Court ruling, no less than 38 over-the-counter cannabis products were approved by the Mexican Federal Commission for the Protection Against Sanitary Risks (the equivalent of the Food and Drug Administration in the US). These CBD products, which include food supplements, cosmetics, edibles, and raw materials, are now available for retail purchase in Mexico.
Mexico is poised to legalize marijuana at any moment. When it does, 125 million adults will have access, making it the largest market for cannabis in the entire world as far as individual countries go. The magnitude of regulating such a market carries with it enormous complexities, meaning it will likely be years before a fully regulated market is established. In the meantime, dozens of legal full spectrum CBD oil and CBD capsules are available across the country, and the recent Supreme Court ruling should act as sufficient peace of mind for cannabis enthusiasts of all persuasions.

Wholesale CBD oil in Mexico ? Unfortunately, Joy Organics does not currently serve this market.
2018 was a huge year for hemp. Many countries took bold steps in approving this plant for supplemental use. Perhaps no country made a bigger statement than Mexico. After legalizing medical cannabis in 2017, the North American country upped the ante in 2018. Mexican officials allowed 38 over-the-counter CBD products to hit the market. That is why now is the time to find a high-quality CBD oil wholesale distributor in Mexico.
Why Use CBD Products?
President of HempMedz Latin America, Raul Elizalde, stated, “The Mexican government understands that CBD is not a danger to public health, so regulating quantity just doesn’t make sense.” As Elizalde explained, scientific researchers have found that even extremely high quantities of CBD do not cause adverse side effects in users. That is why CBD is such a potent extract.
How to Use CBD Products
Not only does CBD support wellness, but it can also be used in a variety of ways. This is what makes joining a wholesale program so worthwhile. You can establish a partnership with a company that allows you to provide your clients with choices!
Some of the most popular ways to supplement with CBD products include:
- CBD Tinctures.
- CBD Vape Pens.
- CBD Salves/Lotions.
- CBD Pet Treats.
- CBD Isolate.
- CBD Flowers.
- CBD Crystals.
However, this is just the beginning for CBD in Mexico. With much of the country jumping on the CBD bandwagon, the industry is expected to boom. Cannabis products are expected to hit $57 billion globally by 2027, and CBD products will make up a large chunk of that. Get ahead of the wave by partnering with a CBD wholesale program in Mexico.
How to Get Wholesale CBD Oil in Mexico
One of Elizalde’s concerns is that pharmaceutical companies are trying to patent CBD in Mexico. However, you can’t patent a botanical compound. Right now, there are many ethical and sustainably sourced CBD products out there. Partner with a respected company before the industry becomes muddled.
Consider one of the following brands for your CBD wholesale partnership in Mexico:
As you can see, only a few companies have a presence in Mexico. With time, this list will grow. Eventually, the field may become watered down with cheap imitations. Right now is the time to strike and partner with a reputable CBD wholesale company with a proven track record.
Wholesale CBD oil in Mexico? Officials allowed 38 CBD products to hit the market. Now is the time to find a high-quality CBD oil wholesale distributor.
