Working Together to Prevent Storm Damage

Feb 26, 2022 | Business

 The international RAMPF Group is donating 5,000 euros to support the work of Verein zur Hagelabwehr im Landkreis Reutlingen (Cloud Seeding Association Reutlingen). This means the cloud seeding aircraft can be in action for 80 days in the coming storm season.

The storm of June 23, 2021, did more than cause significant damage in and around Reutlingen. It also brought back bad memories of July 28, 2013, when several hundred people were injured and vehicles, building fronts, roofs, and solar panels were battered by hailstones – some of which were as big as tennis balls.

Although the Verein zur Hagelabwehr im Landkreis Reutlingen was set up in 2014 in response to the storm of the century, its cloud seeding aircraft was not able to take off until early July in 2021. This was because the aircraft that the association hires was grounded due to engine damage.

“This can’t happen again. That’s why we are so reliant on donations from companies and private individuals, as these will ensure our pilots and aircraft are always ready to go throughout the storm season from May till September,” says Gabriele Gaiser, First Chairperson of the Association.

Donating as a gesture of solidarity

As things currently stand, finance is in place for 80 deployment days in 2022. “This means we’re ready to go from the beginning of June till mid-August,” says Franz Eisele, the Association’s Treasurer. However, he also indicates that he hopes more donations will come in to further expand the potential deployment time.

The international RAMPF Group, based in Grafenberg, is playing a part in this by donating 5,000 euros to the Association.

Matthias Rampf, CEO of the RAMPF Group, explains, “For one thing, the Association’s work is very important for us as a company. After all, extreme weather can affect our production reliability and cause considerable damage to buildings and vehicles. On top of that, this is a way for us to show our solidarity with the people of the Reutlingen district. After all, the cloud seeding aircraft could have significantly reduced the damage caused by the storms in 2013 and 2021.”

Feb 3, 2022 | Business

Author A.R. Johnson’s new book “Wishful Thinking” brings a fresh and artistic expression that illuminates people. His book is a compilation of written artwork that suits the genre for PMG to give it another venue to reach a bigger audience.

Anaheim, California – WEBWIRE –



Pearson Media Group is a digital media platform that aims to promote various genres through screenplay and promotions. The group is remarkable for helping budding authors advertise their unique and inspirational outputs in the international section. In the coming days, PMG collaborates with an artistic author and illustrator, A.R. Johnson, to bring people another poetry work to enjoy.


“Wishful Thinking” is an interpretive poetic art form that strives to connect with the hearts and souls of those who wish to journey through the world of abstract thinking.


Poetry is a form of art. The author desires to communicate with this different audience through the artistic expression of writing, lyric, poetic encouragement, and the American jingle art form of haiku.


Author Adrian Johnson wishes to communicate with and entice genuine readers through his form of wishful thinking. He clings to the notion that time tends to lean toward motivation and gives itself to the end of time. And, as life struggles to navigate the human perspective, wishful thinking captures what continues to remain out there.


Wishful Thinking is the title of the illustration cover and is also the name of this poetry narrative.


Pearson Media Group aims to promote author Adrian R. Johnson in connecting and reaching a good number of audiences in this growing digital platform. You might not want to miss adding this treasure to your library this coming holiday season.


Go check out “Wishful Thinking,” available in many digital formats. Be inspired, relieved, and learn about life, love, and mystery with this new material.

Together on the road to evidence-informed decision-making for health in the post-pandemic era: new EVIPNet Call for Action

Dec 30, 2021 | Business



Evidence-informed decision-making is essential for improving the health and well-being of populations, and the COVID-19 pandemic has recently put a bright spotlight on the evidence–policy–society nexus. The newly published Evidence-informed Policy Network (EVIPNet) Call for Action charts the way forward for systematic and improved evidence-informed health policy-making towards more resilient, equitable and sustainable global health, both for future emergencies and recurring political and societal challenges.


The Call for Action was developed through an iterative process with global EVIPNet members and launched at the WHO Evidence-to-Policy Summit held from 15-17 November 2021. During the Summit, key stakeholders expressed strong support for the Call for Action, including representatives from the Cochrane Library, the Asian Development Bank, the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, and the Evidence for Policy and Practice Information and Co-ordinating Centre (EPPI-Centre), among others.


“We hope that using evidence in policy will be the norm rather than the exception”, said Jorge Barreto of EVIPNet Brazil, stressing that the Call for Action also marks a shift in culture among policy-makers and actors of the evidence ecosystem. Kerry Albright from UNICEF’s Office of Research Innocenti emphasized that “whole-of-society approaches and collaboration across sectors and the evidence ecosystem are needed to better tackle the future health emergencies”.


Stakeholders also noted the Call for Action’s alignment with the United Nations Research Roadmap for the COVID-19 Recovery and the Global Commission on Evidence to Address Societal Challenges. Senior leaders of several stakeholder organisations and partner institutions committed to forming a new partner coalition for sustainable evidence-policy-society-systems to implement the Call for Action.


The call explicitly invites governments, intergovernmental organizations such as United Nations system organizations, international financial institutions and other key stakeholders to join the WHO Evidence-informed Policy Network (EVIPNet) and commit to 16 concrete steps towards better evidence-informed decision-making. The four main sections focus on (1) institutionalizing structures and processes to support evidence-informed decision-making, (2) using high-quality norms, standards and tools promoting evidence-informed decision-making, (3) striving to ensure national and international capacity for the translation and use of evidence in decision-making, and (4) striving to ensure that evidence is accessible, timely and relevant for policy-making, especially in emergency situations.


The World Health Organization encourages governments, intergovernmental organizations and other key stakeholders to support EVIPNet to put in place implementation plans and dedicated resources for each of these four main recommendations.


 To support or inquire about the Call for Action and join EVIPNet, please contact evipnet@who.int or the network’s focal points in the respective WHO region: Joseph Okeibunor, EVIPNet Africa (okeibunorj@who.int); Ludovic Reveiz, EVIPNet America (reveizl@paho.org); Marge Reinap, EVIPNet Europe: (reinapm@who.int); Siswanto Siswanto, EVIPNet Southeast Asia (siswantos@who.int); and the Regional Network of Institutions for Evidence and Data to Policy in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region (emrgoedp@who.int).
