Hoy más que nunca existe la necesidad de proteger y preservar todo el patrimonio natural y cultural que se encuentra en el continente africano. Debido a la gran cantidad de amenazas que enfrenta el hombre moderno como por ejemplo el cambio climático, el terrorismo, la explotación de los recursos naturales, la caza indiscriminada de animales o el mismo desarrollo y que inciden de manera negativa sobre el patrimonio de todo un pueblo y que representa la herencia de las futuras generaciones. Debido a esto, el compromiso de la UNESCO es buscar alianzas y aunar esfuerzos para lograr las transformaciones necesarias que permitan preservar la riqueza invaluable de la cultura africana. Para alcanzar este objetivo, se requiere el trabajo mancomunado de todos los organismos y entes involucrados y hacer de ello, una realidad para alcanzar un mundo mucho más sostenible. 553 Comienza el Segundo Concilio de Constantinopla. 1821 En la isla de Santa Helena (en el océano Atlántico) muere Napoleón Bonaparte. 1890 En España se promulga la Ley de Sufragio universal. 1944 En India, Gandhi es liberado tras 21 meses de arresto. 1955 La República Federal de Alemania recupera la plena soberanía. 1961 Estados Unidos lanza al espacio su primera nave espacial tripulada; el piloto fue Alan B.

Uni-boobing - feeding on just one breast - is more common than many of us think. Whether through child-preference, injury, or as a result of surgery, like my guest this week, it's absolutely possible to exclusively breastfeed on just one breast.My guest, Coral, had duct surgery due to unexplained bleeding and a family history of breast cancer, in her twenties. Although she was told she probably could still breastfeed, it wasn't until her son, Rowan, was born that the reality of exclusively breastfeeding him was revealed. She persevered through tube feeding, combined feeding and very frequent feeds with determination. Rowan is now two years old and still nursing.My new picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies. In the UK, you can also buy it from The Children's Bookshop in Muswell Hill, London. Other book shops and libraries can source a copy from Ingram Spark publishing.You can also get 10% off my books on supporting breastfeeding beyond six months and supporting the transition from breastfeeding at the Jessica Kingsley press website, that's uk.jkp.com using the code MMPE10 at checkout.During our conversation, we mentioned -Breastfeeding After Breast and Nipple Surgeries https://www.bfar.org/index.shtmlMy article Breastfeeding: The dangerous obsession with the infant feeding interval - Baby Friendly Initiative https://www.unicef.org.uk/babyfriendly/breastfeeding-the-dangerous-obsession-with-the-infant-feeding-interval/Follow me on Twitter @MakesMilk and on Instagram  @emmapickettibclc or find out more on my website www.emmapickettbreastfeedingsupport.com This podcast is presented by Emma Pickett IBCLC, and produced by Emily Crosby Media.

Hoy se cumplen 1.164 días del cruel ataque e invasión de Rusia a Ucrania. 3 años y 59 días. Hoy es lunes 5 de abril de 2025. Día Mundial del Patrimonio Africano. El Día Mundial del Patrimonio Africano se celebra el 5 de mayo de cada año, gracias a un decreto de los Estados Miembros de la UNESCO. Su principal objetivo es dar a conocer a todas las personas del planeta, pero en especial, al pueblo africano, el valioso patrimonio cultural y natural de este gran continente. Hoy más que nunca existe la necesidad de proteger y preservar todo el patrimonio natural y cultural que se encuentra en el continente africano. Debido a la gran cantidad de amenazas que enfrenta el hombre moderno como por ejemplo el cambio climático, el terrorismo, la explotación de los recursos naturales, la caza indiscriminada de animales o el mismo desarrollo y que inciden de manera negativa sobre el patrimonio de todo un pueblo y que representa la herencia de las futuras generaciones. Debido a esto, el compromiso de la UNESCO es buscar alianzas y aunar esfuerzos para lograr las transformaciones necesarias que permitan preservar la riqueza invaluable de la cultura africana. Para alcanzar este objetivo, se requiere el trabajo mancomunado de todos los organismos y entes involucrados y hacer de ello, una realidad para alcanzar un mundo mucho más sostenible. 553 Comienza el Segundo Concilio de Constantinopla. 1821 En la isla de Santa Helena (en el océano Atlántico) muere Napoleón Bonaparte. 1890 En España se promulga la Ley de Sufragio universal. 1944 En India, Gandhi es liberado tras 21 meses de arresto. 1955 La República Federal de Alemania recupera la plena soberanía. 1961 Estados Unidos lanza al espacio su primera nave espacial tripulada; el piloto fue Alan B.

Back in 2020, Ann Owen felt like she was the only person in the UK breastfeeding a four year old. Not an unusual feeling for an extended breastfeeder, but Ann's next step was unusual. She's a photographer, specialising in documenting birth and post-partum journeys, so she started a project to meet and photograph other families with older nurslings. Now she travels all over the UK, meeting nurslings from 4-8 years old, with an aim of collating 100 photographs for her Milk Project.The Milk Project can be found at https://milkproject.uk/You can see some of Ann's photographs on my Instagram account this week @emmapickettibclc or Ann's @‌ann.owen.fotoWe also mentioned spectrumlactation.org @‌spectrumlactationMy new picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

Welcome to The kbbreview Podcast, your host is Andy Davies and this is Episode 9 of Season 14.And we've been really looking forward to this episode, as we're catching up with our Adopted Retailers. In the magazine every month, we've been following the fortunes of three kbb retailers with three very different backgrounds, experiences and plans for the future. We last spoke to them here on the podcast back at the start of November - you can listen to that here - and six months later we're here to see how they're getting on.So we have Amanda Raine from The Leamington Kitchen Company in Leamington Spa. She and her husband Tom opened their dream showroom a year or so ago after leaving corporate jobs in construction and marketing.Then we have Joe Kardani from Point 5 Kitchens in London. They're a well-established retailer in Muswell Hill but they're opening a second showroom in nearby Belsize Park.And last but by no means least is Olivia Weaver from Harrison James in Shropshire. Only in their mid-20s she and husband Harry, are just about to open their first showroom after expanding their installation business into retail. So, kbbreview's George Dean caught up with them last week to see how they're all getting on. All this is made possible by our Adopted Retailer Partner Alku, the exciting new range of Kitchen, Bedroom and Lifestyle furniture, created with the designer in mind. We're delighted to have them on board for this and you can actually find out more about them in a bonus episode coming out tomorrow where Andy talking to marketing director Dan Hughes.In the meantime, everything you need to know about them, including how to become a dealer, is at alku.co.uk.

 My guest this week, Sarah, is a great example of the power of self belief. Sarah's twins, Louie and Robyn, were conceived through IVF during the COVID lockdowns, and had a tricky birth resulting in transfusions and a hospital stay. Throughout all this, Sarah knew that she wanted to breastfeed her twins, and advocated for herself despite busy maternity staff not providing the support they needed. She managed to establish breastfeeding with a combination of pumping and nipple shields, continuing when she returned to work as a primary school teacher.Louie and Robyn are now three years old and thriving. Sarah plans to continue breastfeeding them as long as they need.You can find Sarah on Instagram @‌sarahgrace2710My new picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

This week's episode is all about the lessons learned in carrying out a low-carbon retrofit. Natalie Black (Enbee Architecture + Design) and Toby McLean (Allt Environmental Structural Engineers) joined us to talk through their experiments and experiences on the renovation of a derelict house in Muswell Hill, London that was shortlisted for the Architects Journal Retrofit and Reuse awards this year.This is a project that could easily be misrepresented as a Grand Designs-style endeavour that's only representative of what you can do if you've got loads of capital and capacity, but that wouldn't be fair. This project should really be seen as an example of what you can achieve when you've got loads of capital and the capacity to experiment. The lessons learned here aren't going to solve the housing crisis but they can contribute to resolving the climate crisis, and this is what's motivating our guests. Like many of our listeners, Natalie and Toby are built environment professionals who have become increasingly driven to change how they work by the dawning realisation that the climate crisis is upon us. We also discuss whether you can actually have a low-carbon basement.Links for the PhD applications are below too.Notes from the showNatalie Black on LinkedIn The Muswell Hill low-carbon houseThe Enbee Architecture + Design websiteThe Allt Environmental Structural Engineers' websiteNatalie's LinkedIn post about low-carbon basementsEnbee's 12-minute diary film about the Muswell Hill projectEnbee's short film (under 2 mins) about the Muswell Hill projectNatalie's blog about her workPhD #1 - Balancing Supply and Demand: Developing a Net Zero Energy Framework for Difficult-to-Retrofit Buildings in NottinghamshireNottingham Trent University deadline 8th Dec, start Apr 2025, Led by: Dr Orla Williams (UoN), Co-Supervisors: Dr Kate Simpson (NTU) and Prof Richard Bull (NTU); Community Supervisor(s): Phil Berrill (Nottinghamshire County Council), Chris Beattie (Inspire)PhD #2 - Sustainable Construction UK: Investigating the UK construction industry's culture in relation to meeting long-term social, economic and environmental goalsNottingham Trent University, deadline 14th Feb, start Sep 2025, led by Prof Gavin Killip and Dr Ani RaidenPhD #3 - Re-imagining energy retrofit and home adaptation to deliver safe and resilient homes during interconnected energy, health, housing and climate crisesNottingham Trent University, deadline 14th Feb, start Sep 2025, led by myself with Dr Penelope Siebert and Prof Rowena Hill**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)Jeff, Alex, and Dan about websites, branding, and communications - zap@eiux.agency; Everything is User ExperienceSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Own Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**
