|Part of the Second Arab–Khazar War
|Khazar warrior with captive
|Khazar Khaganate
|Umayyad Caliphate
|al-Jarrah ibn Abdallah †
|ca. 25,000
|very high
The Battle of Marj Ardabil or the Battle of Ardabil was a battle fought on the plains surrounding the city of Ardabil in northwestern Iran in 730 CE. A Khazar army led by Barjik, the son of the Khazar khagan, invaded the Umayyad provinces of Jibal and Adharybaydjian in retaliation for Caliphate attacks on Khazaria during the course of the decades-long Khazar-Arab War of the early 700s.
Barjik''s expedition into northern Iran (and later into Kurdistan and northern Mesopotamia) may have been an attempt to establish Khazar rule south of the Caucasus Mountains.
An outnumbered force led by the Umayyad general al-Jarrah ibn Abdallah engaged the Khazars for three days. Ultimately, abandoned by many of their mawali auxiliaries, the Caliph''s forces were overwhelmed and defeated. During the course of the battle, al-Jarrah was killed. The victorious Barjik mounted his head on top of the throne from which he commanded the battles of his Middle Eastern campaign. According to the historian Agapius, the Arabs suffered 20,000 dead and twice that number captured, a figure which probably includes the population of Ardabil and the surrounding territories.
Following their victory, the Khazars occupied Ardabil. The next year, however, Barjik led an army to Mosul and was defeated. According to Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari and other Arab historians, the Muslims were so enraged by Barjik''s desecration of their commander''s head that they fought with extra vigor. The Khazar army at Mosul was defeated and withdrew north of the Caucasus Mountains.

text: A friend suggested me to watch The Big Bang Theory. In fact, I had that in mind for some time, but the poke made me watch it earlier. The sitcom format makes it a good series to watch: just 20 minutes, of fun. Already watched two and I am really carving it. Also, I am really interested in the Paid Masturbation Process… it might be interesting.

Twas a good night again. I think I went to bed around 10pm, and Amélie was up at 6am.
It was a little bit rush rush rush as we had to get ready to leave at 10am so (a) Lu could catch her train to London and (b) I was ready with Amélie to go to see Mum and Dad. We still managed to sneak in a bit of a lie in though.
Once I got to Mum and Dad's we headed off to Wisley. We had a fab day there, and didn't leave until nigh on closing time. Amélie was running around like a lunatic for most of it, and it was great just to see her having fun. Around 3pm she wouldn't walk any more, yet still tried to refuse going in the pram (she wanted me to carry her instead). After 2 minutes in the pram though she fell asleep. She slept all the way back to Mum and Dad's in the car.
Mum and Dad have been having computer problems, but other than turning their Chrome bookmark toolbar back on the rest was all OK. Their computer feels oddly slow, yet is running reasonable anti-virus. I may have to upgrade it to Windows 7 from a spring clean perspective.
From Mum and Dad's I drove home. I toyed with the idea of stopping off at the local supermarket for some essential food, but thought it better to get Amélie home for food and a bath. Her appetite has been very poor again today, and this continued all the way to dinner; all she ate for dinner was a bit of an apple. Still no real signs of an illness, except for a couple of frightening nappies, so perhaps it's a stomach bug. She drank loads at least around lunchtime.
We headed off to get Lu from the train station around 7pm. She had been to Camden and bought us both T-shirts, although had primarily done there to meet up with some Brazilian girl friends.
Now we're relaxing a little before bedtime. Barry and Jo are still scheduled for tomorrow.
Three pictures from today...
^The amazing greenhouse at Wisley. The tropical part played havoc with my cameras, but I got there in the end.
^Amélie running around inside the greenhouse.

Sounds and looks like a really lovely day
Yep it was great. It felt relaxing, strangely, despite all the running around!

I was reminded of this today because the only ads for HelpSpot I currently run are on the blog of the 9rules network founder Paul Scrivens. The ads were doing OK, but recently he changed the layout, moving the ads off the side and towards the top. Since doing this click through has been much better! Something to look out for if you're buying ads.
Here's a sample of his new layout:

Cost of Living
If you are hoping for free college education this election season, you may have bigger problems than being uneducated. Graduates from the school of hard knocks understand whenever the word free is used there is sufficient cause for concern.
We all know not to feed the birds. Feeding wild animals makes them lazy and dependent on the source to the extent they are unable to fend for themselves. What is worse is when the free food is withheld, an animal will often cross boundaries putting itself at risk in order to receive the handout to which they have become accustomed.
Body builders, marathon runners or anyone at the top of their game know you do not achieve a noteworthy goal without sacrifice. The coach may take the team out for an ice cream after a game, which can be consumed in minutes, but only after hours of practice, exertion, pain and often defeat. Partial payment does not purchase the prize, and, if it does, you have to wonder what profit does it have if it may be obtained with limited or no effort. Read the rest of this entry »

Last week, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger revealed he expected the move to be "pushed through" but Gills boss Stimson insists nothing has been finalised and maintains the reported figures of around £500,000 were well wide of the mark.
Stimson told the Kent Messenger: "He is still a Gillingham player. Luke is in the process of maybe going across to Arsenal. At the moment the chairman and someone from Arsenal are sorting the details out."

Imagine what the Information Technology industry will look like in 2020. Now, ask yourself what problems it will solve and how it will change our lives. Would you like to be part of that?
That was the question posed to Grade 5 to 9 girls attending CBE schools who had a unique opportunity to learn more about careers in technology at a DigiGirlz event on November 20. DigiGirlz is an outreach program run by Microsoft to provide girls with a better understanding of careers in technology. The CBE offered this November 20 event in partnership with Microsoft Canada and Alberta Education and it was the first DigiGirlz event held in Western Canada.
This program fits nicely within the CBE's Career and Technology Strategy, which aims to engage and inspire students in career and technology education opportunities. At the CBE, career and technology programs offer more relevant and meaningful learning opportunities by showing students that the classes they are taking today can lead them to exciting real-world career opportunities of personal interest to them.
Hosted at Dr. Gladys McKelvie Egbert School, this one-day event included industry speakers from Konica Minolta Business Solutions, SMART Technologies, Werklund Foundation, The City of Calgary and Microsoft Canada. Students were provided with career planning assistance, information about technology and business roles, thought-provoking exercises, and interesting product demonstrations. The sessions gave the students a chance to explore a wide range of career paths available in the high-tech industry.
The DigiGirlz program aims to address a current imbalance in the Canadian information technology industry that has women making up less than 30 per cent of its workforce when women comprise close to 50 per cent of Canada's total workforce. Responses from this event would suggest that this kind of program is helping address that issue. Before the event was held, only four girls who attended the event were considering a career in information technology. At the end of the one-day event, the number of girls considering a career in information technology had jumped to 16.
One student who attended the event said, "Everything was awesome, fun and so interesting. I learned about the skills you need: Math, English, Computer Science, social skills, solving problems and confidence."

News Story
Sweeping Sexual Harassment Reporting Bill Introduced in Congress
March 02, 2018
by Mark Wilson
This week, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Rep. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) introduced the "
Sunlight in Workplace Harassment Act
" (S. 2454/H.R. 5028), which would require publicly held companies to report the total number of discrimination claims they—and their contractors and subcontractors—settle every year. The bill would require companies to disclose the following information on their 10-K reports:
The total number and aggregate dollar amount of settled claims related to sexual abuse or harassment or discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, service member status, gender identity, or sexual orientation;
The average length of time it takes to resolve harassment complaints;
The number of pending harassment complaints the company is seeking to resolve through internal processes or litigation; and
Their efforts to prevent the perpetration of harassment, discrimination, and abuse by their employees.
According to Sen. Warren, "Secret settlements pose a material risk to investors [and] some investors argue that the way companies treat their workers—including the company's response to harassment allegations—is critical to a company's financial success or failure. Furthermore, investors deserve to know the amount of money that companies spend on settlements related to discriminatory behavior." The same day the bill was introduced, the Council of Institutional Investors, which represents 130 pension funds, released a report encouraging boards to review five areas in their efforts to mitigate sexual harassment and urging investors to question boards on those issues, including whether the company claws back compensation where sexual harassment has been shown to occur. Meanwhile, Rep. Nanette Diaz Barragán (D-CA) introduced the "
Federal Contractor Anti-Harassment Training Act,
" which would require federal contractors to provide annual anti-harassment and anti-discrimination training to their employees. At the state level, the Washington legislature unanimously passed two bills addressing sexual harassment in the workplace.
One will
prohibit employers from requiring employees to sign a nondisclosure agreement preventing them from reporting sexual assault or harassment. The bill will also constrain employers from firing or otherwise retaliating against employees who disclose or discuss "sexual harassment or sexual assault occurring in the workplace, at work-related events coordinated by or through the employer, or between employees, or between an employer and an employee, off the employment premises." The bill exempts confidentiality clauses in settlement agreements. The
second measure
will establish "a stakeholder work group to develop model policies and best practices for employers and employees to keep workplaces safe from sexual harassment." There was no testimony against either bill in both chambers of the Washington legislature. Governor Jay Inslee is expected to sign both measures into law.

S.Africa's Zuma admits mistakes as ANC set for change
South African President Jacob Zuma on Sunday denounced corruption within the ruling ANC party and admitted that mistakes had cost the party at the ballot box after a year of damaging scandals.
Zuma is set to step down as leader of the African National Congress (ANC) in December, before he completes the maximum two terms in office as national president in 2019.
He and other senior ANC figures have been embroiled in a series of graft allegations, as South Africa has struggled with a slowing economy, high unemployment and regular violent protests.

In August, the ANC -- which came to power in 1994 under Nelson Mandela after the end of apartheid -- recorded its worst-ever election results at local polls.
"The ANC has heard the message that the people delivered in August. We accept that we have made mistakes," Zuma, 74, said in a speech marking the ANC's 105th anniversary.
"When leaders and members of the ANC are corrupt and steal they are betraying the values of the ANC, the people and our country. We will not allow this."
Among Zuma's possible successors are his ex-wife, African Union chief Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa and ANC treasurer-general Zweli Mkhize.
On Saturday, the ANC's influential women's league pledged its support for Dlamini-Zuma.
"The ANC will elect a new national leadership towards the end of the year," Zuma said.
"Too often, comrades fight for leadership positions as they see leadership as the route to material and personal gain."
As attacks on his presidency grew last year, Zuma survived an attempt by ANC rivals to oust him in November, shrugging off criticism of his conduct by the official anti-graft watchdog and the Constitutional Court.
The watchdog probe uncovered evidence of possible criminal activity in his relationship with the Guptas, a business family accused of wielding undue political influence.
Zuma, who took power in 2009, retains strong loyalty among many rank-and-file ANC party members, as well as its lawmakers.
He struck a humble note at the ANC celebrations in a sports stadium in Soweto, a hotbed of the struggle that ended white-majority rule more than 20 years ago.
"The people have told us that we are too busy fighting each other and we do not pay sufficient attention to their needs," he said.
"The ANC must unite so that we are able to unite the people against our common enemies -- unemployment, poverty and inequality."
Zuma gave a shortened version of his published speech as heavy rain lashed the venue.

About New Valley Wolves
New Valley Wolves are Jonny Lucey and Baz Joyce. The band formed in the hot summer of 2012. Just drums and guitar, but played with the gusto of 27 charging Spanish bulls. They have been compared to QOTSA and Death From Above 1979 (which is fine by them!).
Although still fresh pups on the music scene, NVW have: recorded a few tracks, shot a music video, gigged all over the country, been on the radio a few times and secured slots at summer festivals.
Plans for their debut album are also in motion.

Active Learning Strategies
"In the traditional approach to college teaching, most class time is spent with
the professor lecturing and the students watching and listening. The students work individually on assignments,
and cooperation is discouraged.
Such teacher-centered instructional methods have repeatedly been found inferior to instruction that involves active
learning, in which students solve problems, answer questions, formulate questions of their own, discuss, explain, debate,
or brainstorm during class, and cooperative learning, in which students work in teams on problems and projects under
conditions that assure both positive interdependence and individual accountability. This conclusion applies whether
the assessment measure is short-term mastery, long-term retention, or depth of understanding of course material, acquisition
of critical thinking or creative problem-solving skills, formation of positive attitudes toward the subject being taught,
or level of confidence in knowledge or skills."

It is hot in AZ, but we haven't quite gotten the night light hours yet. So, to keep things cool we go outside early in the day and then again late in the evening. This way we still get the outside time and some Vit. D, but don't get burned in the process. The problem is that the kids want to ride their bikes and I don't trust other people to slow down on a cul-de-sac. For this reason we teach the kids to get on the side walk when ever they see a car at all, but I also want to make sure the cars see them. So, reflectors on the tires, and light colored bikes help, but why not add a little more?
Mommy Moments like Abby's review of Longest Lasting Super Bright Rim Lights: When I first obtained this product I wanted to surprise my daughter by putting these on and letter her see them work once she started pedaling. I waited until nap and then put them on. It was super easy, just take off the black cap the the air on the tires. Put on the silver one these come with and then attach these on top of that. Took me just a minute or two to get them on. I put the multi-colored one's on her bike so she could have some rainbow wheels! That night she set off pedaling and nothing happened! So, I emailed the company. They were great polite and offered to help me find a solution to my issue. Here is where it gets really stupid, at least on my end. So, here I am all upset at the lack of a best mom ever moment and I find out it was instead a major mom fail moment. In the nicest way possible, basically promise to help me than stating the obvious, they company asked if I had taken the paper that sits between the battery and connector so it won't accidently burn the battery out if moved during shipping since movement is what turns the flasher on and off. Umm, paper on battery, ya I hadn't even looked at that! I apologized and thanked them for not pointing out my mom fail. So, battery paper removed, we tried this again! Success! She was so excited at her light up bike! The faster she goes the more it looks like their is an entire circle of lights on her wheels. No one can miss her now!
So, other than my moment of stupidity, this product works great. It makes my daughter more visible as she rides in the dusk lighting. While I will still watch with an eagle eye, teach not to be in the road at all when a car is coming even if we do live at the end of the cul-de-sac, and dress her in light colors at night, it is nice to know that now her light up wheels will be in the mix. You can't be too safe with these little ones and you can't trust others will be watching, I like that a little light can help them take notice though!
Just remember to take the paper off the battery and light up your bike!
Product Description
- * Light up your bike at night with the Speed Racer rim lights - Choose from three different styles
* Motion sensor LED technology ensures durability along with 50,000 hours of lifetime
* Easy to install - simple attach LED wheel flash light to valve stem on bike. Fits almost all bikes.

"I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay." With these three short sentences in this week's issue of Sports Illustrated, Jason Collins, with the help of writer Franz Lidz, told the sports world two things it already knew, and one that it didn't, and in doing so has made history, becoming the first active male player in any of the big four of American sports leagues—baseball, hockey, basketball, and football—to come out as gay.
You may not have heard of Jason Collins before today. Even dedicated basketball fans might have confused him with his twin brother, Jarron, who is about an inch shorter, and who played with Jason at Stanford and also had a long career in the pros. Jason played for the Boston Celtics this year, before being traded to the Washington Wizards. He is a free agent this summer, and is nearing the end of his years in the league, but he says he hopes to get picked up by another team next season. If he does, he may be the only openly gay player, but as he notes at the end of the piece, he will surely not be the only gay player: "Pro basketball is a family. And pretty much every family I know has a brother, sister or cousin who's gay. In the brotherhood of the NBA, I just happen to be the one who's out."
Now I had to print this story because I know there's going to be allot of press about this in the news. How do you feel about Jason coming out. The last huge issue in the NBA was Magic Johnson announcing he had the HIV virus then his son coming out the closet and now this, Oh Boy!

On April 8, 2015, the Second Department issued a decision in Sears Ready Mix, Ltd. v. Lighthouse Marina, Inc., 2015 NY Slip Op. 02955, affirming the dismissal of a claim against a property owner for a contractor's breach of its contract with a subcontractor, explaining:
A property owner who contracts with a general contractor does not become liable to a subcontractor on a quasi contract theory unless it expressly consents to pay for the subcontractor's performance. The mere fact that the owners consented to the improvements and received some benefit from the subcontractor's activities is insufficient to recover on such a theory; the subcontractor must also show that it was working for the owners when it performed its work resulting in unjust enrichment.

I don't equate gun ownership with liberty. Owning a gun won't stop the homeland security forces from raiding your house- for more than a few minutes. Ask David Koresh. I'm not particularly attached to my guns. So personally, I'm not taking that stance. I think if you are worried about liberty, your time is better spent backing the EFF than the NRA. But unlke the UK, the guns are ALREADY OUT THERE. We can't get from here to there. Law abiding folks will give them up willingly, or grudgingly, but a lot of people will see this as the line that will not be crossed and they will become the outlaws they always fantisized they would be. It will create a whole new class of "domestic terrorists". It fulfills a self-fulfilling prophecy. Taking guns really would become the first step to tyranny, because a whole class of people want that to be the case. They are begging for it. The feds know that it's just not going to happen, or if it does it will be UGLY. Here's another idea. Pull out of ALL foreign entanglements. Reduce the military budget by 2/3. Allow that money to go back into the economy and improve peoples lives. Let's stop the prison industrial complex and reform drug laws- that would reduce illegal gun traffic by -what- 90%? Let's get some decent health care happening, so sick, delluded, paranoid people can address these problems. Let's get election reform so peoples voices can be heard and we don't have to fear our government. Let's abolish the "National Guard" and return militias to the states, so people who want to receive military training can get it in their state helping and defending their neighbors, not kicking in doors and shooting children in Fallujah. THEN, and only then, will people stop feeling like they need to defend their "Liberty". THEN, maybe we can have a society where people don't feel they need to bury ammo in their back yard.

One of the biggest constraints to adoption and use of FSI tools is undoubtedly a lack of consistent and marked funding to collect this data routinely. However, as technology makes data collection easier, it is equally important to increase capacity and cooperation so that data can be efficiently used and efforts not replicated. It will be interesting to have the perspective of local experts on particular limitations on funding as well as cooperation.
I agree with this observation. Collection of nationally-representative data, such as household food consumption, is an expensive exercise. In addition, this kind of data would need to be collected often to enable analysis of trends. Many countries in SSA have a myriad of challenges that they would prioritise interms of resources. So support in funding is needed and this isone area that development partners can support more. In terms of cooperation, we are seeing improvement in formation of multistakeholder platforms and networks which is a good thing. But capacity building will definitely be needed to ensure collected data is of high quality
One great example to highlight the importance of cooperation is what MAFAP-FAO has done for collection and analysis of data in African countries in collaboration with local experts. They have focused on 13 countries for selected crops and provide indicators of nominal rates of protection based on this data effort. This exercise is an excellent example of collaboration between international institutions and local analysts on an ongoing basis, and how it can be used for policy analysis as well. See <http://www.fao.org/in-action/mafap/home/en/> for more details.
IFPRI is also in collaboration with MAFAP-FAO through Ag-Incentives Consortium < http://ag-incentives.org/content/about-us>. This is an international organization consortium for measuring the policy environment for agriculture, including OECD, FAO-MAFAP, IDB, IFPRI, World Bank and CGIAR PIM.
Including international organizations in data collection, and most importantly data analysis would also help increase data quality, and identify data gaps.
In the 21st century, new strategies and approaches are needed to reduce food losses and waste because of the rapidly changing nature of agri-food systems and the need to address a variety of inter-related drivers such as: Global market integration; Increasing influence of the private sector; Urbanization and 'Lengthening' of food supply chains which must now cover increasing distances from rural to urban centres and accommodate an increasing number of actors engaged in logistical and value adding activities.
In view of these changes, intervention strategies at country level need to focus on systematic improvements to the efficiency and sustainability of the entire supply chain rather than the single point interventions of the past. Critically, there must be clear roles for both the public and private sectors. Governments cannot by themselves reduce losses; their role is to provide the enabling environment, policies and institutional and regulatory frameworks that will enable private sector actors to develop modern, efficient food supply chains with minimal losses and maximum benefits for all value chain actors.
As an illustrative approach, the most challenges on food loss and waste as part food systems are :Much of the post-harvest loss data used for policy making is outdated and not evidenced based. There is thus a need to collect sound, replicable data which can be used to inform policy and also to measure progress. Much of the data collected in the past has been quantitative. Yet we know that qualitative losses are just as, if not more, important than quantitative ones. Poor quality grain will fetch a lower market price, resulting in economic loss. Grain contaminated with aflatoxin poses a public food safety and health hazard. Poorly stored or processed fruits and vegetables will result in nutritional loss. Yet, none of these factors are captured in purely quantitative loss assessments. More flexible methods for estimating losses are required that capture economic, nutritional and food safety losses, but without significantly increasing the research budget.
The private sector has not been fully engaged in the fight against food losses. It is critically important that strategies to reduce food losses take a holistic value chain approach and engage with all stakeholders. The private sector is best placed to make the necessary investments and provide technical expertise and economic incentives to reduce losses. Government should create the enabling environment and provide oversight, especially to ensure equitable participation of smallholder farmers and other weaker actors. FAO has been at the forefront of efforts to reduce food losses through the Global Initiative on Food Loss and Waste Reduction (SAVE FOOD).
The most important step is to decide on a minimum agreed set of indicators are that will track and report on progress towards national goals.
How would this follow from Malabo and how would it expand on those? What further is needed and at what level?
There is the need to go beyond the current mechanisms of reporting and accountability putting in place by NEPAD and African Union commission. The ECOWAS model in supporting countries to develop the second generation of NAIP could be documented and expanded in other RECs. This model privilegied the country ownership of the generic guidelines and partnership and inclusive technical assistance to countries with clear division of labour between sub-regional partners.
Important to have technical capacities and ONE adopted plan for FSI
One of the way to increase the capacity is to create Community of Practice group on specific topics . you can find here the link to FAO's Community of Practice on reduction of food losses and waste: http://www.fao.org/food-loss-reduction/en/
What are your recommendations for arriving at a unified plan and supporting capacities?
Currently countries are negotiating theri SDG M&E frameworks and can draw on these indicators as a start to negotiating country indicator sets. Each SDG contains food secuirty related indicators. Although only one food secuirty indiactor per se is included in this set. Lawrence Haddad and the Global Nutriuion Report count 12 out of 17 SDG indicators sets include nutrition-related indicators. Of course there will be overlap with some food secuirty and nutirion indicators.
The CAADP Results framework is also a good starting point for agreeing on a common set of indicators. http://www.nepad-caadp.net/sites/default/files/the_caadp_results_framework_2015-2025.pdf
The Results Framework is a good starting point. However, even with these agreements in place, many countries still face challenges in actually implementing the framework.
Following on the comments on the CAADP Framework, are there any recommendations for what countries need to better implement the framework?
All countries need to iplement the CAADP framework particularly its M&E but some are more advanced than others. In ECOWAS, the approaches are more systematised and harmonized.
Countries that mostly need FSI strategy are the ones that aren't showing full interest in implementing one... For example in Niger and Burkina Faso to name a few, detailled Agricultural projects expenditure review can tell you have communication pertaining to FSI is the least of their concerns in many regards... It'd take major awareness raising to demonstrate to such stakeholders, how information and communication are critical to sound FSI infrastructures for better decisionmaking... How can a project perform well without benchmark and periodic review in the context of stakeholders engagement?... The FAO is joining to pitch in and with huge assets in com4dev they are likely going to adjust the imbalances... crossing fingers on that!
As curently being tried out, even in any of these 13 countries where WAAPP is being undertaken, inter-institutional communication is yet a rarity... recent experiments have evidenced cases of lack of coordination within same research institutions when all that was needed is to facilitate cross departments' communication, whether through periodic workshops or throughout an intranet solution, which in the cas of Mali was my favored recommendation. You can definitley see momentum building as resource persons and staekholders start networking and sharing BECAUSE not only its the thing to do, but the infrastructure is ready to ease the exchange...
Therefore it's absolutely necesary to feature and showcase communication interfaces wherever needed to demonstrate added value over time once key actors are involved and informed over expectations...
FSI has better days in WAAPP and can inspire other countries beyond in goal setting and data collection/sharing protocols..
Dear all,
I'm a youth trainer based in Brussels, working a lot with the EU institutions and I've been coaching some youth organisations @COP22.
What youth taught the world @COP22: #ClimateFinance4Youth: 100% for Adults, 0% for Youth. Adults say it is OUR Future, then where the heck is OUR money so we can build out stable youth organisations that can play a role in non-formal education so youth can fulfil their role as vectors of change in society?!
One of the key drivers of the action was the Climate Smart Agriculture Youth Network - CSAYN. They just linked up with their European peers who came back with a conclusion from the EU Commmission's portal for Youth & Agriculture/Youth Farmers.
The European Commission's portal for Young Agriculturers: http://enrd.ec.europa.eu/themes/youth-and-young-farmers/young-farmers-library_en
- Ordered an Analysis EU pilot project: Exchange programmes for young farmers - final-report-1_en.pdf - Summaries of the important chapters
- Conclusion:
- Climate change is not a recognized issue
- Africans, Asians, Latin Americans, Small Islands: happy dying from climate change. Young farmers mind their own business and don't care about y'all.
- Western Young farmers don't care about exchanges. Eastern European are more interested if it is with similar farms, similar conditions.
- Most youth farmers are not interested in other cultures.
- If you want to catch up with young farmers, you have to catch up with them in the 1-2 years between when they're in the agri-school and not yet fully employed at their families farm.
- Conclusions for CSAYN: You're going to die from Climate Change, you're going to have to slam hard on the table for money to climate smart your farms, pay for adaptive measures like strong roads, bridges, local energy production, greenhouses, etc. because the EU young agriculturers don't have time and don't bother about you, all they care about is their own money. Suck it up! Wake up! Maybe the increasing dropping of water tables here in the West, heavy storms, will slowly wake up young farmers and lead to some solidarity with african & co young farmers that are not yet dead completely and have their representative organisations issue joint statements for Climate Finance 4 Agriculturers / Youth.
- Conclusion:
What now?
Not feeling that great in Brussels right now.

Usually Monday mornings is when you find me here researching and reporting on the work of other crochet artists. However, today I'm here to report on my own crochet art. I've just launched a big crochet art project called Swaddle that I've been hinting at here on the blog for awhile. It's up on Kickstarter where I'm looking for funding to make it a reality. So I'm just asking you to take a look at it, give a little bit if you can and help me to spread the word.
The First Swaddle Crochet Project Video
I am going to be reporting twice-monthly on this crochet art project here on the blog using video posts. I have never used video before and never really been on a video before so that's totally new for me. I'm doing that because I think it's important to make sure that I push my own boundaries to show that I'm serious about this project. So, I've made my first video that is in an intro to the project (and it's the video you'll find on Kickstarter).
I want to tell you something about this video. It's a lengthy video with lots of mistakes and in bad need of editing. I had thought about getting help to make a cool video. And I thought about editing this piece myself. However, in the end I decided that the best thing to do here is to be honest and genuine about who I am, to really show you a bit about myself. I'll be developing my video and video editing skills throughout the duration of this project and I'm hoping that you'll watch me grow with that as I do.
More about Swaddle
In case you're more into reading words than watching video (like me), I thought I'd share basically what Swaddle is all about. You can read more on the Kickstarter page but essentially this is a 12+ piece crochet art exhibit designed to explore and share the following things:
- How women communicate individually and as a whole
- How women's communication styles improve and hinder their relationships with men
- Celebration of crochet and craft as a celebration of women's history
- Celebration of modern businesswomen through use of yarn from indie dyers and sellers and small business owners
4 Reasons Crochet is Perfect for this Art Project
- Crochet has historically been seen as a female craft and therefore lends itself well to artistic explorations involving gender issues.
- Crochet is made up of knots and loops. Communication often gets tangled up and repeated so the form is ideal for expressing this.
- Crochet can easily be used to create both "female" objects (domestic objects, lace, fashion) and "male" objects (math principles, science objects, tools).
- Crochet is beautiful! There is a small segment of fiber artists and mixed media artists who are working to show off the true beauty and detail of crochet. This project adds to that community voice. It is important that this project explore many detailed aspects of crochet and not just use basic stitches.
Why is it Called Swaddle?
Why is this project called Swaddle? Swaddling is a way of wrapping up babies to protect them. Historically it was done in a way that was extremely binding and restrictive. Modern swaddling is more comfortable although can still be controversial. Either way, swaddling immediately draws to mind the image of the nurturing woman. This project explores how women nurture the men in their lives, in ways that are both traditional and controversial. It explores how that nurturing can help the men in their lives and the relationship between them (as swaddling to care for an infant can be a positive experience between mom and child). It also explores how sometimes that communication unintentionally infantilizes men and eats at the relationship.
3 Pieces in the Collection
No photos yet, but I wanted to tell you about some of the things that you'll see as this project develops:
- 40 Variations on a Granny. This is a repetitive crochet piece showing how the tiniest shift in a stitch can alter the appearance of your work. It represents how small changes in conversations (using "I" statements is a well-known example) can improve relationships. It also references the way that men sometimes feel like the women in their lives are just saying the same thing over and over and so they stop listening. The piece places 40 granny squares side by side, each one a variation on the traditional granny square.
- It Takes a Village. This crochet art piece is all about how the community affects individual relationships. Women tend to turn to other women to talk about what is going on in their relationships with men in order to resolve problems and get their feelings out without rocking the actual relationship. This piece juxtaposes very frilly, feminine, soft crochet on one side with very hard, edgy, structural crochet on the other side and shows how they blend in the middle and run into one another.
- Swaddled. This is a collection of crochet swaddling blankets wrapped around representations of male figures. Some are cozy and comfortable, as we expect crochet blankets to be. Some are strangling and suffocating. Some are too loose and the male is exposed. This represents the core idea behind the title project.
Help Support Crochet Art
I hope that you can get excited about this crochet art project. I know that I am! If you like the idea and want to help, here's what you can do:
- Donate as little as $5 to the cause at Kickstarter. Everyone who donates gets rewards!
- Blog about this project. I am happy to do interviews, answer questions, write guest posts, etc. Kickstarter funding ends Nov. 14th so the sooner the better if you want to set something up with me! To do so, shoot me an email at createmefree at yahoo.com
- Tweet about the project, Facebook share it, etc.
- Let me know that you believe in the project! Support of all kinds is always appreciated.
- Grab the project's image for your sidebar. Link it to the Kickstarter page or to this post. Here it is:

|The Beginning
This is a very personal post that just had to be written. It is intended for an audience of two. I have just returned form the LGA Conference where I have been doing more of the councillor / social media stuff which I've blogged about in the past. This post is not about that.
This post is about two gents who I have had the good fortune to work with over the last three years. Thanks to Ken Eastwood having the foresight to put a councillor / social media session on at LocalGov Camp Yorkshire and the Humber I met Councillors Tim Cheetham and Simon Cooke. Since then we have worked together across the region trying to raise the profile and discussion around all things democratic and social media. They have both visited the Council I work for to help me spread the word. Our work together has been captured and shared here.
|The End?
Here's my take on Simon and Tim. Ideologically they probably couldn't be much further apart, but they have quite a few things in common. They are passionate about being a councillor, they genuinely believe in representing their communities and making a difference. They want to be representatives in a digital age and they want to support their colleagues on that journey. They are very funny and have a unique sort of chemistry. All this I have observed.
For reasons which aren't really material to this post I think today may be the last time that all three of us will collaborate. As Simon tweeted as we chatted over lunch - it had a bit of an end of an era feeling. If that's the case perhaps it's fitting we ended on the national stage at the LGA Conference.
As an officer it goes with my territory that relationships with councillors remain professional, neutral and independent. I think I kept my part of the bargain over the last three years. That said I think I can also say that we worked well together and genuinely got on - this is a good thing and something I look back on with great pride. So this is my chance to say thanks, it was a real blast.

I heard a provocative seminar by Peter Gogarten of U. Conn today. His work is funded by the NASA Exobiology program and by NSF's Tree of Life program. The title of his seminar was "Phylogenetics in Light of Horizontal Gene Transfer". His main thesis is that horizontal gene transfers, regarded by most evolutionary biologists as a tremendous hindrance to deducing phylogeny, can instead provide clear signals that assist in phylogenetic reconstruction. However, one must first abandon the idea that evolution of taxa can best be represented as a bifurcating tree. Rather, as proposed by Darwin himself, a "coral of life" metaphor is more apt, because the base of the branches of life consists of dead lineages. Moreover, horizontal gene transfers cause reticulation rather than a straight bifurcating tree.
For me, with an interest in evolution of plants, the most interesting part of his talk dealt with dozens of genes found in red algae and green plants that appear to be of chlamydial origin. Most of these proteins appear to function in the plastid, many as transporters. Surprisingly, the cyanobacterial homologues of these genes are relatively distant on molecular phylogenetic trees. How can we account for these genes of apparent chlamydial origin, rather than the expected cyanobacterial origin, especially since chlamydia are not known to infect extant plants or red algae?
One hypothesis could be that plants acquired these genes from chlamydia associated with insect feeders. However, these horizontal gene transfers must have occurred in the common ancestor of red algae and green plants, which died out long before insects evolved. The possibility that gene transfer took place from plants to chlamydia is ruled out because these genes in question clearly resemble bacterial genes, not eukaryotic genes. A third hypothesis is that these genes resemble chlamydial genes because cyanobacteria and chlamydia have a common ancestry that has been obscured. However, this fails to explain why these genes in red algae and green plants are more similar to chlamydial genes than cyanobacterial genes, if they came from cyanobacteria.
Peter Gogarten proposes a fourth hypothesis, that these genes indicate an ancient parasitic or symbiotic relationship between chlamydia and the common ancestor of red algae and green plants. This common ancestor would have had both chlamydial and cyanobacterial residents in the cytoplasm. Over millions of years, horizontal gene transfer took place from chlamydia to the nucleus of the host cell, and those genes that could be redirected to the cyanobacterial endosymbiont to provide transport functions and improve efficiency of the photosynthetic symbiosis were retained. The chlamydial symbiont was subsequently lost. Gogarten wonders if the tripartitite gene swapping helps explain why successful acquisition of endosymbionts is rare – it requires assistance from a third party.

The motivating factor that keeps Larry Edgins behind the wheel is pride.
There have been times in his 21 years of trucking, the OOIDA member said, where his pride was the only thing he had left.
The second-generation over-the-road trucker and owner-operator from Spartanville, SC, doesn't sugarcoat anything when he talks about his career. Like so many in his industry, he calls it as he sees it.
"I've been lied to, cheated on, ripped off and stole from," he said. "About anything you can imagine."
But he never gave up his driver's seat.
Larry has survived a number of undesirable leases with large motor carriers that were based on lofty promises of "more miles equal more money." He has seen the bottom of the barrel a few times.
In and out of debt and a couple of failed marriages – and down to his last dime on more than one occasion – Larry grew paranoid of anyone giving him advice.
"I'm a proud fella," he said.
Even the services offered by OOIDA did not appeal to him for a time. He was sure it was just another company looking to make a buck off of truck drivers. But that perception has changed dramatically, he said.
Part of his epiphany was meeting a business-savvy CDL holder named Shirley Kumferman of Wisconsin.
"She has taught me to slow down and see things," Larry said.
Shirley adds that Larry could have driven through the Grand Canyon and not taken time to enjoy the scenery.
"The canyon would be an obstruction to his destination," she said good-naturedly.
As part of their business plan to slow down, regroup and get out from under bad leases, the pair made a conscious choice to obtain their own operating authority.
They plan to get married, buy a truck and form their own business with Larry as the driver and Shirley keeping the books.
Passing up a couple of loads in October, Larry and Shirley convinced each other to enroll in an OOIDA business seminar after hearing about it on "Land Line Now" on XM Satellite Radio.
It took only the first day of the three-day seminar for Larry and Shirley to be convinced that their new business plan was a good one for them.
The affirmation that "this is possible" made the trip worth it, they said.
"We want to keep as many people's hands off our money as possible," Shirley said. "Our business plan is to be more profitable than ever by working smarter, not harder."
The subjects covered by instructor Tom Weakley of the OOIDA Foundation and several guest instructors from OOIDA included the topics of operating authority, taxes, spec'ing a truck, financing, cost of operation, broker-carrier agreements, leasing, insurance, drug testing, safety audits, inspections and keeping good records.
"The whole goal of it is to help you evaluate where you are, where you want to go with it, and what it takes to get there," Weakley said.
Most of the people in the class of 14 had driven trucks or been part of the trucking industry somehow, but no one had his or her own operating authority going in.
"We don't pull any punches and we don't try to make a big show out of it," Weakley said of the subject matter. "It is what it is and you've got to know the good and the bad. There's a lot of paperwork and there's a lot of things you need to know."
Weakley said he remembers Larry and Shirley for their real-world questions and genuine interest in the program.
"I think they had a little bit of a business plan in place going in," Weakley said. "They felt like they had started and had made some good progress, and they were just hoping to tweak it a little bit.
"Once they got there, they realized that there was so much more that they had not considered yet and I think it opened their eyes."
The OOIDA business seminar may eventually be offered online, Weakley said, so truckers would be able to study the subject matter without having to book time off the road or travel to a physical location.
After completing the October class, each student received a certificate in addition to some valuable one-on-one time with the instructor and guest speakers.
A belief in the future was enough for a proud trucker like Larry to sum up what he called an eye-opening experience.
"The information they give you, you can't put a price on it," he said.
Larry and Shirley admit they are not out of the woods just yet in their business lives. They are still hooked into what they call a bad lease, but believe they are turning an important corner in their careers.
"We have made some bad business decisions," Shirley said, "but we know that this is the way it has to work."
"They made a believer out of me," Larry added. "We don't have unrealistic expectations. We don't want to be millionaires in five years. We also don't want to haul any more cheap freight because that hurts the whole industry."
The pride to keep trucking is motivation enough for the pair, who admit that too much pride has been part of their downfall in the past. Now, instead of driving more miles to earn a few more pennies, they intend to structure their business to find better pay under their own authority.
"I'm a fighter, not a quitter," Larry said. LL

Recently I shared articles about accessing blocked websites and in each article there's different method and here's same in this article I am going to share that how you can change proxy to access blocked websites without using any tool. It's totally different method because in all other tutorials we have to download or use a website to access blocked websites but with the method that I am going to share you can access any blocked website without using any tool or software or website all you need is to change computer proxy settings and it's done. Read my recent article about making your own proxy website for free.
First, Find a Proxy
It's simple, first we need to find a proxy (IP and port) then we can use that proxy to make a secure and anonymous connection which will help us to surf any website even blocked websites without any trouble and seriously this is the best method if you want to surf blocked websites because if you are using a proxy website then you'll not be able to login or sign up and many other different functions will not be available and if you are using a tool then you may not be able to download videos from video sharing websites but in this method you'll be able to use any available function on blocked websites so it's the best way. Sorry, I think I should be telling you how to get free proxy so it's easy you just need to go to hidemyass.com/proxy-list/ there you will find tons of public proxy servers but you have to choose a fast proxy just copy any proxy with fastest speed and connection, before copying any proxy just make sure that the website you want to access isn't blocked in that country too like porn websites are blocked in many countries so you should choose it wisely. Copy the IP and port in your computer system for later use.
Change Proxy to Access Blocked Websites
Now here's the real part of tutorial now you have a proxy now it's time to use it, so first of all open up your Chrome browser and go to settings just click on the icon which looks like three lines in the right top corner of Chrome browser just click on the icon and click on Settings then a new page will open just scroll down to the bottom of that page there in the bottom you will see a link saying Show advanced settings… simply click on this link more settings will be shown to you now scroll down until you see a button with text Change proxy settings… a pop-up will appear now just see the screen shot I think the screen shot will save hundreds of words and time.
Have Any Question?
If you have any question about this tutorial then please comment below I'll reply with the answer as soon as possible and please always say thanks if you like any article on my blog, thanks for reading.

We have come to realize Tesla Motors, and its enigmatic CEO Elon Musk, like to do things their own way. The one-time California start-up is no stranger of going against the grain. When the practical approach to entering the automotive industry would have been to utilize a conventional gasoline-powered engine, Tesla took a different approach. While other companies were busying themselves with hybrid, and plug-in hybrid technology, Tesla was hard at work paving the way for its all-electric Roadster.
With the release of the Model S, the California-based automaker is looking to drive down a different road yet again with a unique and new retail strategy.
Traditionalists will undoubtedly balk, but the method of vehicle buying is changing and companies like Tesla are pioneering new ways modern and future cars can be bought – and it's about time, too.
Part of that changing landscape sees a shift to where shoppers head down to a retail location– where little to no inventory will be on hand — instead of the car lot. Here, potential buyers can configure a vehicle exactly to their liking. Everything from the car's paint and rim size, to the interior's material and trim color, the entire experience is streamlined, sleek, and personalized. It's not exactly revolutionary in terms of the retail experience where we used to constantly poking, prodding, and interacting with what we're about to buy, but it's new to the automotive industry and a welcome change.
Will it work? Tesla seems to think so. The company just opened its newest showroom located in Portland, Oregon, making it the 14th of its kind in North America (with another six to seven on their way by the end of the year), and 24th Tesla retail location worldwide.
We recently had the opportunity to take a tour and needless to say it's an impressive, if not familiar, experience. From its modern minimalistic Apple-like layout with wide open glass doors, to its glowing touchscreens and Model S showcased prominently at the front, the Tesla store has little trouble drawing you in — which is exactly the point. Not everyone will feel inclined to head down to a traditional Tesla dealership, but placing these showrooms in malls and large traffic areas will get people curious, into the shop, and (hopefully) ordering.
With Tesla's retail stores, the company seems to be doing everything it can to promote not only the Model S and the brand, but the overall experience. As it is, the Model S is one cool car — and the whole store is designed to accentuate that.
Large touchscreen displays are strewn about the walls where the Model S' most frequently asked questions are on display for people to interact with and have answered. Shoppers can learn everything there is to know about the Model S, from how much the car costs (base price starts at a steep $57,400) to charging times for the various battery sizes.
Of course part of the traditional car buying experience centers on testing out your potential set of wheels and here the dealership is no different. Tesla says customers will be able to drive the Model S (and later the Model X) before they buy. And it won't be a solo effort either: Tesla will have product specialists – which the company were keen to point out will not work on commission – available to help answer any and all questions.
From what we gather Tesla has made a deft move. It might be struggling to keep up with orders –and if you were to mosey on into a Tesla store, or order one online you're looking at waiting just under a year before delivery – but Tesla's retail strategy has the potential to work and at the very least create even more buzz and excitement for the brand. Besides, what other automotive company will deliver your vehicle wherever you want?
It'll certainly be sometime before we see big car lots removed from the equation entirely, but it's going to happen. After all, people thought Apple was crazy when it launched its own retail stores in the beginning, which turned out to be a runaway success. Could Tesla become the Apple of the automotive world? Crazier things have happened.

Grey Hat Website positioning Services

Some Grey Hat Search engine optimization expert services might are likely to use more doubtful approaches and get even even larger threats to produce quickly and superior lookup engine rankings.
Whilst lots of Gray Hat Web optimization expert services methods obey search engine tips, other folks may well put you at threat. If you choose for Search engine marketing companies applying Gray Hat, be confident about what you are precisely subjecting your on the internet web-site to.

Individuals working with Black Hat Seo products and services may well inform you that White Hat is much too ineffective and Grey Hat may be protected but not as powerful.
Those people who like Grey Hat may well declare that White Hat Orange County SEO Companies. is only effective only when no Grey or Black Hats are associated.

Through all these various thoughts, know that it is continue to up to you to choose the correct type of Website positioning San Diego SEO Services that you want.
It is your goals and targets that will decide which sort of hat you need to put on. From my position of check out White Hat is greater and far more price effective if you are critical about your business… and serious organizations exclude: gambling, grownup, and pharmacy web pages.

10 Women-Friendly Destinations In India
Travel through India can be a richly rewarding experience. From ancient art and history, a rich tribal culture, local and world-class shopping, budget and wildlife urban experiences, natural and man-made wonders and high adventure, there is so much to see and do.
So where can a woman travel alone, and experience all this without worrying about her safety? Reshma Kulkarni presents a list of ten women-friendly destinations in India, that offer a variety of safe holiday experiences.
Coorg: For A Plantation Holiday
Things To Do In Coorg
Trek around the hills and do a coffee or spice tour in the many plantations. Discover the delights of the Tibetan settlement in Coorg and visit the beautiful monastery at Kushalnagar to see the Golden Buddha. Bathe a pachyderm in Dubare Elephant Camp, go white water rafting, angling, birding or cycling through the beautiful hills. The festivals, temples and ritual ceremonies are also something to look out for.
Is Coorg Safe For Women?
Unlike several other destinations in India, the sex ratio in Coorg favours women, who hold a respectful position in society. Coorg is also well-connected to big cities like Bengaluru and Mysore and has good communication lines. The literacy rate is very high and the crime rate is low.
Where To Stay In Coorg
Enjoy the Kodava style architecture in eco-friendly surroundings at 'Orange County'; go heritage hunting in the luxurious 'Green Hills Estate'; or revel in the lush foliage at the 'Last Resort'. There are home-stay options where you can experience true Coorgi cuisine and culture.
