What are the keys to hosting a successful fashion and runway show at your gala or signature fundraising event?   Today, I talk with Jacob Samson and Payton Martin, co-chairs of DIFFA Dallas' signature fundraising event House of DIFFA 2025: Dreamstate. Over the past several decades, DIFFA has consistently been one of Texas' most anticipated, successful, fun, and fashionable signature fundraising events. As Texas' most fashionable gala, it features an epic jacket auction where the organization partners with acclaimed designers known locally, regionally, and globally. It all culminates with a hour-plus fashion show that ties into the event theme, complete with cutting-edge, avant-garde fashion mixed in with choreographed numbers making it an unforgettable night for their guests. The substantial amount of funds raised from House Of DIFFA support HIV prevention, awareness, and treatment programs in North Texas. In this episode, Jacob and Payton share their thoughts on a wide range of topics including creating innovative themes that keep donors on their toes and wanting more, how to host a successful kickoff party that creates buzz for your gala or signature fundraising events, establishing strong partnerships with production partners, and so much more. This is one episode you will not want to miss.

Au Tchad, plus d'1 million de personnes sont affectées par des inondations dues à des pluies hors normes. Au Nigeria, le même phénomène a tué 600 personnes et dévasté l'agriculture. Dans le sud-est du Niger, dans la région de Diffa, ce sont 2 800 personnes qui ont été déplacées par des inondations et qui vivent aujourd'hui dans le dénuement le plus total. C'est «le changement climatique causé par l'activité humaine qui a rendu ces événements 80 fois plus probable et 20 % plus intense». C'est la conclusion du World Weather Attribution, un réseau mondial de scientifiques capables d'évaluer en peu de temps le lien entre les événements météorologiques extrêmes et le changement climatique. Ces phénomènes vont s'accentuer, nous le savons. Mais, peut-on les anticiper pour mieux y faire face ? C'est l'objectif du premier centre de formation dédié au numérique pour lutter contre le dérèglement climatique en Afrique de l'Ouest qui s'est ouvert à Ouagadougou, à l'Université Joseph Kizerbo. Samuel Turpin nous y emmène. Mais quel va être le prix de l'action climatique pour les pays du sud ? 2 400 milliards de dollars par an, répond l'économiste britannique Nicholas Stern, dans le rapport qu'il a co-présidé avec l'économiste camerounaise Vera Songwe : Le financement de l'action climatique, accroître les investissements pour le climat et le développement.

Selon un élu de cette localité située à une trentaine de kilomètres de la ville de Diffa, plusieurs villages de la zone ont été attaqués. Harold Girard, correspondant à Niamey, livre plus de détails.

HIV/AIDS does not care who you are-- it affects all people of all ages from all walks of life. However, it does disproportionately impact the gay, bisexual, and trans communities. Lesbians are also at risk due to low testing rates caused by a lot of HIV/AIDS messaging being geared toward people assigned male at birth who sleep with men. Host Shane Allen speaks with Prism Health North Texas CEO Dr. John Carlo about what organizations like his and DIFFA are doing to slow the spread of HIV/AIDS, the myth that it started in the gay community, and how the cure might be right under our noses.

The events industry is all about creating the pretty. But let's be honest... things aren't so pretty right now. With events postponing and canceling and most vendors seeing fewer inquiries coming in than in years past, being in the wedding industry right now is no joke. In this week's episode of the This Week In Weddings podcast, we're chatting with floral designer and event production guru Jes Gordon about the changes to her business in light of Covid. She's sharing her open and honest opinions and best advice for the event industry to move forward.

Gordon was the Design Mentor on Bravo’s “Rocco’s Dinner Party.”  Each week, Gordon aided the competing chefs in creating a memorable dinner party experience that went well beyond the cuisine. Gordon’s innate eye for color was first noticed at thirteen when she stumbled into the industry as an assistant to a floral designer.  By the time she reached her junior year at Bard College, she had a blooming floral business.  Gordon went on to open a contemporary art gallery and flower shop in Taos, New Mexico, and later moved to New Orleans to work on set designs for films, including “Interview with a Vampire” and “Dead Man Walking.” In 1992, Gordon became the Events and Decor Director for the infamous Tavern on the Green restaurant in New York.  Her work at Tavern on the Green led to private commissions for celebrities including Madonna, Barbara Streisand, Harrison Ford, Vanessa Williams, Sting, and Elton John, among others.  Gordon now applies her eye for design and passion for the unexpected to her event design and production firm.  Gordon has created captivating corporate events for Bank of Hapoalim, CNN, L’oreal Paris, Hostess, M&M’s, Comcast, West Point, The Lifetime Channel and many others.  She also continues to dazzle brides and socialites alike with dream weddings and private affairs.

Episode 5 of IMPACT features one of DIFFA/Dallas' beneficiaries, Dallas Hope Charities, and their impact on the Dallas Community.With special guest Jason Vallejo

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=5806NEI GULAG NORDCOREANI 50 MILA CRISTIANI di Leone Grotti«Quest'anno la persecuzione religiosa in Corea del Nord è aumentata. Sembra che sia in atto una massiccia campagna di ricerca per scovare i cristiani». È quanto dichiarato da Lee (il nome è omesso per motivi di sicurezza), fuggito dalla Corea del Nord e oggi impegnato nella missione tra i nordcoreani, al sito specializzato Daily Nk.L'ultimo caso di cui è venuto a conoscenza è quello di «una famiglia cristiana arrestata a Hyesan, nella provincia di Ryanggang, dopo essersi convertita. La madre è sparita e nessuno sa cosa le sia successo, mentre i due figli e la nipote sono stati rilasciati dopo aver pagato 5.000 dollari di multa».PERSECUZIONE IN AUMENTO: ALMENO 50 MILA CRISTIANI NEI GULAGNonostante il padre della patria e "presidente eterno" della Corea del Nord, Kim Il-sung, fosse stato battezzato ed educato come cristiano, la persecuzione religiosa è stata messa in atto dal suo regime totalitario fin dal 1948. Ogni culto, specie quello cristiano, è vietato da allora ma secondo stime credibili nel paese vivono ancora circa 400 mila cristiani.Tutti tengono la loro fede nascosta, salvo qualche eroico caso di esplicita testimonianza, dal momento che basta possedere una Bibbia o essere scoperti a pregare per rischiare l'esecuzione pubblica o la condanna a un campo di lavoro. Gli Stati Uniti sanzionano Pyongyang per violazione della libertà religiosa da 18 anni di fila, ma la situazione è peggiorata negli ultimi otto anni, da quando cioè Kim Jong-un ha preso il potere in seguito alla morte improvvisa del padre Jong-il.Come dichiarato ancora da Lee, «soprattutto quest'anno vengo informato più spesso di cristiani arrestati e detenuti. Le autorità stanno conducendo incursioni a sorpresa nelle case dei cristiani e sembrano avere informazioni molto dettagliate su di loro».Anche i controlli in Cina sono aumentati. Nelle province cinesi più vicine al confine, infatti, operano molti missionari cattolici e chiese protestanti, che offrono riparo a disertori e perseguitati nel tentativo di aiutarli a fuggire principalmente in Corea del Sud.SI PREGA IN CODA AI BAGNINegli ultimi due anni gli omicidi e le estradizioni di missionari, insieme alle deportazioni in Corea del Nord dei disertori, sono aumentati a dismisura. Avere una religione diversa dal culto di Kim Il-sung è un crimine politico e migliaia di persone vengono spedite nei famigerati gulag nordcoreani.Secondo un'indagine della Commissione sulla libertà religiosa internazionale del dipartimento di Stato americano, si trovano attualmente nei gulag tra i 50 mila e i 70 mila cristiani.Nonostante la persecuzione, le comunità cristiane crescono e secondo quanto dichiarato a Daily Nk da una seconda disertrice - scappata, rimpatriata, rinchiusa in un gulag e poi scappata di nuovo - anche nei campi di lavoro aumentano le attività missionarie e gli incontri di preghiera: «Mentre ero rinchiusa nel campo di lavoro, sono rimasta sorpresa dallo scoprire che c'erano molti cristiani. Sono rimasta profondamente commossa dalle preghiere che pronunciavamo insieme in silenzio. Alle cinque del mattino si formano lunghe code ai bagni. Lì i cristiani, mentre sono in fila, pregano. Se le persecuzioni religiose stanno diventando più dure, sempre più persone si rafforzano nella fede. Il miracolo della condivisione del Vangelo avviene anche in questo momento in posti infernali come i campi di lavoro nordcoreani».Nota di BastaBugie: Lorenza Formicola nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Viaggio in Africa dove i cristiani restano nel mirino degli integralisti" parla della drammatica situazione dei cristiani in Uganda, Eritrea e gli altri Paesi dell'immenso continente. Con un'Europa e un Medio Oriente svuotato di fedeli i jihadisti si stanno concentrando sulla pulizia religiosa in Africa.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su Il Giornale il 9 agosto 2019:Il Pew Research Center ha previsto che i cristiani dell'Africa sub sahariana nel 2050 saranno il 38% della popolazione, rispetto al 24% del 2010. Ecco l'Africa, oggi: la casa per il maggior numero di cristiani al mondo. Motivo per cui i jihadisti hanno intrapreso e recentemente accelerato una strenua e attenta pulizia religiosa.Tra i 50 paesi classificati nella World Watch List 2019, 14 (quasi un terzo) si trovano nell'Africa sub-sahariana. Solo nel mese di giugno, in Uganda, una scuola elementare cristiana è stata distrutta in un villaggio musulmano. Prima alcune minacce e poi la demolizione radicale della scuola per figli di convertiti dall'islam al cristianesimo.Intorno al 27 giugno in Burkina Faso l'ennesimo attacco jihadista. I musulmani sono andati, casa per casa, armati di machete e fucili, nel villaggio di Bani, e tra la morte e l'islam hanno imposto ai cristiani di scegliere.In Burkina Faso i cristiani vivono ormai un vero e proprio inferno: decine le vittime della persecuzione islamica solo nelle ultime settimane che hanno visto un susseguirsi terribile di attentati. «Se non si interverrà, il risultato sarà l'eliminazione della presenza cristiana in quest'area».Secondo l'Ufficio delle Nazioni Unite per il coordinamento degli affari umanitari, dall'inizio dell'anno i jihadisti hanno costretto 136 mila persone alla fuga. E sarebbero circa 82 i pastori costretti alla fuga. Nella terza più grande città del Niger, Maradi, è stata data alle fiamme una chiesa. Pare come protesta in seguito all'arresto di un imam di spicco. Erano in 150 i musulmani che hanno commesso l'attentato.La situazione nel resto dell'Africa non è migliore. In Libia i convertiti al cristianesimo affrontano abusi e violenze continue. In Somalia, dove la comunità cristiana raggiunge solo le poche centinaia, c'è per loro solo una vita di violenza e isolamento. In Sudan i cristiani sono quasi 2 milioni. E sono costretti a convivere con le pressioni e le discriminazioni tipiche di un Paese governato come uno stato islamico.Non solo quindi i diritti limitati, ma anche i luoghi di culto demoliti. In Etiopia le chiese sono prese di mira al grido di «Allah Akbar».L'Eritrea, che è stata battezzata come la «Corea del Nord Africa», conta circa 2,5 milioni di cristiani. E molti riempiono le prigioni in condizioni disumane. Quelli che restano, s'incontrano in segreto avendo il governo approvato una legge che chiude le chiese.La palma come Paese peggiore per i cristiani, continua a detenerla la Nigeria. Là, la comunità di fedeli non conosce tregua. Mentre in Egitto le severe restrizioni sulla costruzione e l'agibilità delle chiese, impediscono ai cristiani di riunirsi.Nella Repubblica Centrafricana, la religione principale è il cristianesimo. La popolazione cristiana raggiunge quasi la cifra dei 3.950.000 con 1.260.000 di cattolici. Eppure i cristiani sono comunque oggetto di una persecuzione sempre più violenta negli ultimi anni: intrappolati come sono nel violento conflitto tra Seleka un'alleanza di gruppi musulmani miliziani e gli anti-balaka gruppi cristiani di autodifesa.È in Algeria il numero più alto di chiese chiuse nell'ultimo anno. Nel Paese le leggi che regolano il culto non musulmano vietano la conversione e proibiscono il proselitismo oltre all'espressione pubblica della fede cristiana.In Kenya, dove il cristianesimo è la religione principale, i politici musulmani, su ispirazione dei radicali islamici somali, hanno deciso di eliminare il cristianesimo come recita il rapporto Open Doors 2019 ,«i funzionari spesso chiedono alle chiese di fare cose che non sono in linea con la loro fede, mentre i militanti eseguono brutalmente attacchi suicidi contro chiunque è considerato nemico dell'islam. E grazie alla corruzione nelle agenzie governative, quanti operano contro i cristiani, godono di impunità».In Marocco il cristianesimo è perseguitato da stato e società. Ci sono restrizioni ovunque, restrizioni all'evangelizzazione e persino la confisca di materiale cristiano in lingua araba. In Niger, Ciad e Camerun, gli attentati terroristici hanno provocato una drammatica crisi di rifugiati. In Ruanda, invece, centinaia di chiese vengono chiuse «per inquinamento acustico».Giulio Meotti di recente ha raccontato del messaggio che Boko Haram sta consegnando ai cristiani di Diffa, «hai tre giorni per andare via o sarai ucciso». E da quelle parti l'emorragia è evidente. A Dablo è abbastanza fresca la notizia di sei cattolici uccisi in chiesa. Mentre a Silgadji è stato ucciso un pastore e le processioni cattoliche sono ostaggio di islamici.Il rapporto pubblicato ad aprile 2019 nel Regno Unito, commissionato dal ministro degli Esteri Jeremy Hunt e diretto dal vescovo di Truro, presenta i cristiani come il gruppo più perseguitato al mondo.Una persecuzione che non riguarda l'etnia, la razza o il colore della pelle né degli autori né delle vittime, ma la sola religione. Perché in Africa, vari gruppi e individui islamici stanno attaccando e tentando di annientare i cristiani solo perché credono in Cristo.Il rapporto inglese e i fatti di cronaca denunciano uno stato delle cose che, se non fermato, trasformerà il continente africano in un posto simile al Medio Oriente: dove da terra a maggioranza cristiana, si è arrivati a una minoranza indifesa e agonizzante.

Breakfast with Oliver DIFFA

Dans ce nouveau numéro, on s'intéressera aux repentis de Boko Haram au Niger. Les personnes qui ont décidé de faire défection de la secte terroriste sont cantonnés à Diffa, dans un « camp de transit ». Le gouvernement a lancé fin décembre un programme d'amnistie et de réinsertion pour les anciens combattants de Boko Haram. Un main tendue acceptée par une centaine que nigériens que notre reporter a rencontré. Direction la France ensuite pour parler des lignes politiques qui bougent ces derniers temps. François Bayrou a tranché ce mercredi. A 65 ans, il ne sera pas candidat à l’élection présidentielle. Le président du MoDem a d'ailleurs décidé d'apporter son soutien à Emmanuel Macron. Le fondateur d’« En marche ! » a accepté l’« offre d’alliance » proposer par Bayrou parlant de «tournant dans la campagne». La politique en Europe, il en sera question aussi dans votre coup de coeur média de la semaine. Matthias Raynal nous parlera d'un reportage du Journal du Dimanche tourné au Pays-Bas. Une journaliste s'est rendue dans le fief du parti populiste de Geert Wilders, favori pour les législatives de mars prochain. Enfin on remontera le temps. Zoom cette semaine sur la naissance du premier bébé éprouvette en France.

Welcome to the Interior Design Today radio show with Mary Knackstedt.In our 29th episode, Mary talks about the 2013 Architectural Digest Show and DIFFA.It was a great show this year, featuring a lot of different artisans and companies from different parts of the world. There was quite an upgrade of quality in many of the things, especially many of the kitchen features. There were many new and "techy" contributions, which are really part of convenience and which also provide space saving and other elements. There are marvelous conveniences and things that we can do with technology that we could never dream of before.In addition to that, they also feature the DIFFA dining by design. This is where different companies and designers working with them feature their design for dining. Some of them were very different than before. There was one by Benjamin Moore which you could definitely tell was a painting company because they showed how you could use color and paint in many ways. It was very rich and very fun, but also, there was no question that their product was paint.The one that the Pratt students did was very interesting in that it featured a map of the world. They did it in a very "techy" way, using an interesting lighting treatment, which I hope you can see from my photographs. It was very interesting and quite well done. We were all amazed at their thought patterns and how they developed it with design.Ralph Lauren, last year, had an outdoor porch; very country. This year, its was much more modern. You will see a number of fun designs throughout the photographs I have taken as best I could with my simple camera.This is a wonderful contribution to the arts that all these designers and companies are making, both in monetary contributions, as well as their artistic display.Please subscribe to the video or audio version of the radio show via iTunes or listen to it at http://interiordesigntodaypodcast.blogger.com via the following MP3 Link.
