This newsletter discusses parenting and whether it requires learning. It notes that most parenting knowledge comes informally from parents, friends, and experiences rather than formal education. However, with changing times and fewer children, more preparation may be needed. The newsletter encourages readers to reflect on their own parenting sources and practices. It also shares a story about a couple who rediscovers the joy in their marriage by reviewing deposits they had made in a bank book to record happy memories. The newsletter aims to inspire readers by discussing dreams of India's founding leaders and celebrating national achievements despite current challenges. It closes by requesting feedback to improve.
University of Sydney, Master Of Management Case Study - Danielle WarbyDanielle Warby
A case study by Danielle Warby of The University of Sydney as part of the Social Media Campaign seminar on 3 Jul 2009 at AFTRS - http://lamp.edu.au/the-social-media-campaign-seminar-workshop/

Ha pham transboundary river basin cooperation for climate change adaptation...Ha Pham
The main strands of International Relations theory naming realism, liberalism, regime theory and constructivism, have embedded elements of cooperation for environmental challenges in a various range of ways and perspectives. These days, it is widely recognized that the cooperation of riparian countries in transboundary river basin management can significantly tackle climate change extremes such as floods, seasonal droughts, and saltwater intrusion. Increasing variation across the basin puts more pressure on transboundary cooperation in terms of sharing the burden and relief assistance. Dams operated with a climate perspective can reduce the intensity of potential flood impacts and increase dry season water levels under drought. Sharing information, risk management and support systems is also a common climate change adaptation measure to try to reduce vulnerability to climate variability. The paper will analyze the case of Greater Mekong Region, focusing in the worst drought in a century hit Vietnam in early 2016 and cooperative attempts of all related countries to deal with this natural disaster under the cooperative mechanism of Mekong River Commission and the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Mechanism. Three main findings are: (1) River Basin Cooperation between all countries in a transboundary river basin can be a potential solution for climate change adaptation; (2) The rise of China as an upstream superpower may hinder risk for weaker countries in the lower basin and maintaining solid lower Mekong coalition can facilitate these riparian states to smartly deal with their neighboring hegemon; (3) River Basin Cooperation should focus on information sharing for warning system of extreme events like flood and drought.

Social-ecological systems in emerging democracies are often in an untenable state. Under such conditions, building resilience is not appropriate and transformation is the way forward.

This is a brief synopsis of the bestselling book :"The New: dare to Discipline". I have no affiliation with the author Dr. Dobson, or his work that I have discussed here. This is a presentation made as a part of the psychotherapy seminar: book review series. In my personal oppinion, you should not take every word that is written in the book. Just like most other written things in this world, this should be evaluated and weighed according to the current time and situation. A good decision about parenting should be made, taking into account your own religious cultural and ethnic background, and most importantly the individiual needs of your child. This book does not provide a panacea for child rearing, nor it should be treated as a rule book, but it certainly lays out some basic principles, which shall remain applicable, no matter what tthe circumstances are viz, the need for structure, consistency with regards to parenting, not only in the punishments but in rewards, and how small gratifications and rewards which we do for the children anyways, can be utilized and will go a long way in making good citizens out of them.

will need to be celebrated and shared, in order for the group identity or class community to emerge, develop and grow. The individual child needs to be given many opportunities to discover his or her own identity to enable him or her to feel comfortable to share with the group. We were determined to continue on this path of identity, because we knew that the young child’s thoughts are continually evolving. We wanted to pursue the notion of what it is to be somebody. We could see the children’s faces. We were able to identify a sense of self but what was that child really like? A sense of self has to develop gradually. Being yourself is about knowing who you are.

An Indian mathematician and autodidact who, with almost
no formal training in pure mathematics, made extraordinary
contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite
series, and continued fractions. Living in India with no access
to the larger mathematical community, which was centered in
Europe at the time, Ramanujan developed his own mathematical
research in isolation. As a result, he sometimes rediscovered
known theorems in addition to producing new work. Ramanujan
was said to be a natural genius by the English mathematician
G.H.
Hardy, in the same league as mathematicians such as Euler and
Gauss.
