This document discusses eating disorders and the language used by those suffering from them. It defines "Ana" as referring to anorexia and "Mia" as referring to bulimia. Those with eating disorders seek perfection and control through their disorder and have developed codes and rules around restricting food intake and purging behaviors. They may call each other terms like "angel" or "princess" and use phrases that promote thinness as the ultimate goal. Specific diets are outlined that involve severely limiting calories over a period of days or not eating at all.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

1. A MOTHER'S DAY STORY
A beautiful baby boy was born. His name is Avery.
Changing diapers, night
time feedings, and "ma,ma", "da,da".
Then come the "terrible twos!" Not the regular "terrible twos".
Iwould call them the "blessing today twos".
On January 9,2005, while at day care, Avery started having tonic clonic seizures.
(JohnHopkins medicine.org) He was sent to the Emergency Room. While there he had to be
resuscitated. Tonic clonic seizures were called grand mal seizures. Avery would begin having
myoclonic seizures.(John Hopkins Hopkinsmedicine.org)
Avery's mother, Jennifer could not let her emotions get the best of her. She had to become strong
fast. She had a lot of questions she wanted answered. Epilepsy medicine is hard
to keep track of when there is more than one. Think about giving medicine to
a two year old. Some days were Add harder text
than others. Side effects were hair loss
and one caused short term memory loss.
A very's health started getting worse when he started having seizures during
the middle of the night. Jennifer said she was blessed daily when she could spend
time with Avery. The doctors said they didn't know what they could do to help.
Jennifer found out about the Ketogenic diet. This diet helped for weight loss and epilepsy. Tried it.
To make up for weight loss, Avery had to drink heavy whipping cream, eat one part carbohydrates,
and eat four part fat. Starting at two years old it was hard. He had to give up some food that he liked.
(Ketogenic diet www.epilepsy.com)
Avery proved that strength was in his genes and that he could conquer anything!! Give him a ball
and he will kick it, bat it, or catch it. Show him a wall and he will climb it. After starting the Ketogenic
diet, his seizures during the day stopped. Not long afterwards the moghtly seizures stopped.Finally
the seizures completely stopped and he came off the Ketogenic diet! The first thing that he asked for
to eat was a banana.
Happy Mother's Day to a Strong, loving, never giving up mother, JENNIFER!
Happy Mother's Day to all of the MOTHERS Who are also strong and loving to children with EPILEPSY
Avery's story is on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMO4J396J_Y#t=46
