It affects the way people live, their consequent chance of illness, and their risk of premature death. We watch in wonder as life expectancy and good health continue to increase in parts of the world and in alarm as they fail to improve in others.

Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” “seek,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “might,” “will,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from Coca-Cola European Partners plc’s (“CCEP”) historical experience and its present expectations or projections. These risks include, but are not limited to, obesity concerns; water scarcity and poor quality; evolving consumer preferences; increased competition and capabilities in the marketplace; product safety and quality concerns; perceived negative health consequences of certain ingredients, such as non-nutritive sweeteners and biotechnology-derived substances, and of other substances present in their beverage products or packaging materials; increased demand for food products and decreased agricultural productivity; changes in the retail landscape or the loss of key retail or foodservice customers; an inability to expand operations in emerging or developing markets; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; interest rate increases; an inability to maintain good

  • HIV Prevention Ambassador Training Package for Adolescent Girls and Young Women This Training Package Was Developed by the OPTIONS Consortium and Collective Action
    HIV Prevention Ambassador Training Package for Adolescent Girls and Young Women This training package was developed by the OPTIONS Consortium and Collective Action. The OPTIONS Consortium partners who contributed to the development of the training package include FHI 360, AVAC, LVCT Health in Kenya, Pangaea Zimbabwe AIDS Trust in Zimbabwe, and Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Institute in South Africa. The Optimizing Prevention Technology Introduction On Schedule (OPTIONS) Consortium is a five-year cooperative agreement funded by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). OPTIONS Consortium partners are conducting a range of activities to support the rollout and scale-up of oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention in Kenya, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and globally. A critical component of OPTIONS’ work is ensuring adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) can access and effectively use oral PrEP for HIV prevention. Empowering AGYW with the knowledge, skills and agency to discuss HIV prevention with their peers, partners, families and communities is key to normalizing oral PrEP so that AGYW can successfully use it to protect themselves from HIV. We would love to hear how you’ve used this training package. Please email us at [email protected].

Students will be able to engineer high quality building blocks for Web applications. CONTENT: Detailed study of the engineering methods and technologies for building highly interactive web sites for e-commerce and other web-based applications. Engineering principles for building web sites that exhibit high reliability, usability, security, availability, scalability and maintainability are presented. Methods such as client-server programming, component-based software development, middleware, and reusable components are covered. After the course, students should be prepared to create software for large-scale web sites. SWE 642 teaches some of the topics related to the exciting software development models that are used to support web and e-commerce applications. We will be studying the software design and development side of web applications, rather than the policy, business, or networking sides. An introductory level knowledge of HTML and Java is required. SWE 619 is a required prerequisite and SWE 632 is a good background course. The class will be very practical (how to build things) and require several programming assignments.
