Artistically Blurry, Sepia toned, amateur photojournalism of a major disaster at its best. Don't get me wrong, Misho you had an awesome idea and I think it's great for what you had to work with, but I would have loved to seen it done by folks with an photographic eye and a different app...then we would have seen more of the "real" Sandy experience...
Tracking Hurricane Sandy on Instagram
Misho Baranovic | Published: Oct 31, 2012 at 13:00 UTC15
On Monday night, I was sitting at home in Melbourne, Australia watching and waiting to see the impact of Hurricane Sandy as it approached the East Coast of America, on the other side of the world.
The first place I looked was Instagram. Knowing the app has a massive East Coast user base, I was hoping to find an up-to-date picture from people there on the ground. However, following the #sandy and #frankenstorm hashtags, I was disappointed to be hit with memes and selfies. (At one point, users were posting up to 10 images per second with the hashtag #sandy.) Locating original and verifiable photographs in this gigantic pool seemed useless.
My next step was to head over to the This Is Now site, which pulls in live Instagram feeds from 12 large cities worldwide. Clicking on New York, I was again swamped by images, with only a handful giving me any real perspective into how those posting were facing the approaching hurricane.
At this point, I decided that if I couldn't find a useful Instagram feed, I'd have to create and curate one. I knew valuable photos were out there, they just had to be found and featured. Using Nitrogram, an Instagram moderation tool, I created a customized feed: I could select and track a handful of tags (including #frankenstorm, #hurricanesandy, #sandy and #flood); moderate the photographs as they came through and disregard the memes and fakes; and, finally, embed the curated feed into the Mobile Photo Group blog and share it with interested readers.
Little did I know what I was getting into. Like Alice, I tumbled down a rabbit hole lined with Instagram pics. Each time I refreshed the feed I would get hundreds of new images, coming through every four to 10 seconds depending on the time of day. I started selecting pictures, one by one, searching for images that gave me a flash of insight into what was happening on the ground. They didn't have to be pretty, or professional, they just needed to be relevant and real.
Trigger-happy to begin with, I soon realised that some photos didn't look right, seemed a little exaggerated, or appeared multiple times in the feed. Working on the fly, I developed a rough verification check to weed out less pertinent images, which included:
While by no means a perfect system, I was able to weed out the junk and showcase the most relevant photos. (The next day I saw articles appearing on the big sites, like Mashable and Huffington Post, exposing fake photos which were doing the social media rounds – I'd rejected nearly all of the offenders the night before.)
Transfixed by the feed, I watched as the rain became heavier, the winds picked up and the sea barrelled first into Atlantic City, then New Jersey and finally New York. I saw people fumbling for candles and cuddling their terrified pets. And I witnessed a few venture into the blackened city night to capture the empty streets. The following morning, I saw the destruction and the shock.
Amazingly, while I was selecting pictures, other people found and followed my feed. In the first 24 hours the blog post received more than 10,000 views (about 9,500 more than Mobile Photo Group gets on a good day). A re-post on Boing Boing even knocked us offline momentarily, our bandwidth spent.
In the past two days, and with the assistance of other Mobile Photo Group members, the feed has featured over 300 photos documenting Hurricane Sandy. The feed is more of a mosaic than a complete picture, but it provides multiple insights into the significance of the event as experienced by some of the many thousands of Instagram users in the hurricane's path.
In my view, a feed like this – featuring contributions from many photographers, amateur and pro alike – does not rival traditional photojournalism but it does complement it. It gives us insight into an event in real time, and allows for spontaneity and chance.
What do you think?

I first bought a 1911 chanmbered in 22 just to practice and I just traded that in for a S&W M&P 45 full size bi tone dark earth brown I think its called. So far I love it though I have not shot it.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- "Would you like to buy some Girl Scout cookies?" asked a few Girl Scouts from Troop 20711.
If you do, you have the option of sending a box to our troops overseas.
The program is called "Cookies From Home."
"Customers can donate cookies and we will transport them for free over to our deployed soldiers during the season," explained Peggy Frye, the Evans Girls Scout service unit manager.
Frye has dedicated years of her life to the Girl Scouts and has a personal connection to the Cookies From Home program.
"I'm prior Air Force and my husband's prior Navy," she said.
The Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia just started this program about four years ago.
And now Frye is just grateful for the opportunity to give back to the troops.
"I love being able to offer that taste of home," she said. "Because when we were in Italy as active duty, we didn't have that taste of home."
"To be able to do that now for our soldiers, currently men and women over there, it's great," Frye said.
A little bite to remind them of the place they're trying to protect.
"It means a lot, really it does," said Petty Officer Trevor Mork. "It takes me back to having memories back home when my dad would bring back Girl Scout cookies."
Petty Officer Mork is from Montana. Now stationed at Fort Gordon, Mork has been away from home during his entire four year naval career.
"There are times where it's kinda like we feel like we're out there on our own, but when we have backing from America as a whole, it just feels great," Mork said.
Support that these Girls Scouts are more than happy to provide.
"We should help the community, the world and our town," said Lucy Johnson, a Girl Scout with Troop 20771.

UNDATED (21 Alive) -, Leo completed its unbeaten Allen County Athletic Conference run, and Churubusco fell short in its bid for a piece of the Northeast Corner Conference crown on Friday night.
Leo closed out the ACAC and regular season unbeaten with their 45-0 romp at Bluffton, with Jordan Hissong scoring three touchdowns on just eight carries with 102 yards, and Logan Leiter going for 95 yards and another score.
Morgan Moore returned an interception 95 yards for the deciding touchdown as Lakeland downed Churubusco 14-13, earning a share of the Northeast Corner Conference title and dropping the Eagles into third place.
Hayden Kilgore threw for one touchdown and ran for another for Churubusco, but was stopped shot on a two point conversion attempt in the fourth quarter that would have put the Eagles in the lead.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Saturday, March 24, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The TEE Center held its very first citywide event this weekend.
"They've got it set for a general session -- and kind of pretty much just used every single ... corner, every inch," said Barry White, president and CEO of the Augusta Convention and Visitors Bureau.
It's much-needed space for the TEE Center's very first citywide event.
"That's the reason this city invested in this building, so that we could host events and conventions and meetings that are larger than we could host before," White explained.
A space that now allows thousands to visit the City of Augusta.
"[This group is] utilizing five hotels ... probably more," White said. "[It's] 2,600 people and we're thrilled to have had them in town this weekend."
Helping to bring in thousands of dollars in just one weekend.
These first lucky takers? The popular beauty line, Mary Kay, for its 2013 Career Conference.
"I love the fact that it's Mary Kay ... because with Mary Kay, we know they're here," White said. "A lot of pink cars were driving around the past few days and you see the ladies everywhere."
Augusta Marriott officials say there are about 20 large citywide events confirmed on the calendar this year, which stands to bring in more than $10 million dollars -- continuing to help put Augusta on the map.
"Oh my God, it's so beautiful!" said Kathryn Pitts.
Pitts has been to several Mary Kay conventions over the years and says she's now fallen in love with Augusta.
"This place ... is so convenient for what we're doing," she said. "And it was so nice for us to be here, we're thankful."
"It's good to see that it was used and is being used for exactly what it was designed for," White said.

- Journal ranking studies are a popular means of assessing research performance but are subject to criticism. An analysis of rankings of marketing journals is undertaken revealing consistency in rankings across regions and methodologies. Agreement is most strong for the very top journals. Explanations for the consistency in rankings and implications of it are discussed.

Marnie Allen
this wiki
Marnie Allen is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series, appearing as a random character in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Marnie was voiced by Reyna de Courcy.
Marnie was born in 1987 and raised somewhere in the Midwest, where she was a cheerleader. She moved to Liberty City to become an actress in 2005, and was immediately conned into appearing in internet porn by Joseph Kaplan. She also claims Kaplan was the one to get her hooked on heroin, and she quickly started a 2-bag-per-day habit.
From then on she turned to panhandling to support a 5-a-day habit, and had to return to prostitution when it increased again. She was arrested in 2006, for petty theft and prostitution, back when she worked for a Peruvian pimp in Acter, Alderney. She was arrested a third time in 2007 for heroin, and after refusing rehab she was released onto the street.
Events of GTA IV
In 2008, Marnie is strung out on a park bench in a small park at the corner of Liberty Lane & Diamond Street, City Hall, Algonquin. When Niko comes across her, she begs for money and/or drugs, and offers a lot of herself for next to nothing. She's young and has fallen victim to the streets. Niko feels sorry for her and agrees to take her to her dealer for a fix. Upon arriving at her dealer on Boyden Avenue, Niko gives her $500 and sees her off.
The second time Niko encounters Marnie, she is in Varsity Heights leaning up against a lampost on a street corner. Marnie explains to Niko that she has "crossed a john" and now thinks he is going to kill her. Niko, again feeling sympatheic, agrees to take her to Grand Easton Terminal train station, to flee the city to live with her parents in the Midwest. As Niko bids her farewell, he gives her $500 and tells her to look after herself.
Marnie later e-mails Niko, revealing that she is currently attending college to become a psychologist and is living happily back home with her parents. If Niko answers positively, he will tell her that maybe she "can help crazy people like me [him]".
LCPD Database information
Surname: Allen
First Name: Marnie
Age: 21
Place of Birth: Midwest
Affiliations: Linked to Peruvian pimp in Acter and porn producers in Star Junction
Criminal Record:
- Relocated to Liberty City from the Midwest.
- Believed to be working as a prostitute to support heroin addiction.
- Refused to enter rehabilitation program on first arrest and was released onto street.
- Operating in Southern Algonquin and Alderney.
Mission appearances
Marnie Allen's Random Encounters
- In both of her encounters, Niko gives her $500.
- After the end of Marnie's two encounters, the police database will report her as missing.
- Like most characters in the game, Marnie will don a unique helmet when riding alongside the protagonist on a motorbike. Her helmet is pink with white stripes.
- Oswaldo Quiroga was likely Marnie's pimp before meeting Niko, as he is also from Peru and is shown to operate in the Alderney area. Therefore, it is also likely that Oswaldo is who she was meeting at the drop-off point.

The keyless watch
In 1847, Antoine LeCoultre created a revolutionary system which did away with the need for keys to rewind and set watches. His simple and brilliant solution was a pushbutton that activated a lever to change over from one function to the other. Today, Jaeger-LeCoultre perpetuates this tradition of inventions in the service of user-friendliness.

Tokyo Confidential
Tokyoites are uncompromising food lovers! As well-informed as they are enthusiastic, they savour every mouthful with the greatest of care. The biggest city on Earth may enjoy exotic flavours, but it prefers to give them its own spin. Five Nespresso Club Members give you their take on this megacity which is less Japan's window to the world, more the world according to the Japanese.
TOKYO IS A JUNGLE WHERE ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN AND NOTHING IS LACKING, a city which lives and breathes both creativity and simulated destruction. There are parchment lanterns, projecting only their own shadows, interchanges snaking this way and that, and roads so clean they look as if they have been carpeted. During the 2002 football World Cup in Tokyo, matches were shown on giant screens at the famous Shibuya Crossing. Thousands of fans gathered in the middle of the huge pedestrian crossing, moving back to the pavement whenever the traffic lights went to green so as not to disrupt the traffic.
THE BIGGEST CITY IN THE WORLD IS NO LESS THAN THE CAPITAL OF A NATION BURSTING WITH CHARACTER. There is no doubt that the Land of the Rising Sun woke up to some of the major issues facing the great cities of the future long before anyone else. It has even provided some solutions to problems that megacities will face in the near future, relating to the environment, overpopulation, strategies of distinction and an aesthetic of constraint and excess... But the lights it sends out on the horizon are as fragile as its red paper lanterns. As this untamed yet delicate climbing plant struggles to adjust to climates other than its own.
Yumiko "Hanachiyo" Singer master florist, member since 2009
Her floral arrangements bring together Japanese sensibility and a French perspective, two worlds as dissimilar from one another as the moss temple is from the baroque garden. While the latter requires every living thing to bend to its architecture, the Japanese aethestic is more along the lines of a Bedouin tent where the layout of the mallets, canvas tension and size of the mat all come together in a balance which is compromised by the absence of any one component. Yumiko harmonises the poetic temperament and rhymed verse of the Japanese garden with the grand Romanesque flourishes of the French. She makes herself Espressos all day with an ESSENZA machine she has had for several years, and wishes that the HAWAII KONA Limited Edition was a permanent feature.
YUMIKO'S SELECTION HAD TO RESEMBLE A BEAUTIFUL BOUQUET. She translated the luxury of the biggest city on earth with an incredible economy of means, much like those old ink drawings from China which could conjure up a landscape with a few judicious brush strokes in the right place. The small premises of SUSHI YOSHITAKE has been awarded three Michelin stars, the highest distinction awarded by this respected observer of the culinary world. Its virtuoso chef was the one to recognise the sophistication of this cuisine of humble origins, which is to food what kabuki, a recently ennobled ancient form of entertainment, is to opera. GALLERY EF presents a poignant reminder of old Tokyo: this house survived the Edo era and now plays host to performances on the biwa, an instrument like a guttural lute, dating from the very origins of Japan. The BABY DOLL TOKYO boutique presents another side of the capital: that of fetishism, the weakness of idolaters: corsets, fishnet stockings, garters and other risqué undergarments have been all the rage since Lady Gaga had some of her stage costumes designed here. In Roppongi, a small area of the city whose energy is provided by huge Rolls-Royce turbines, the exhibition spaces of the MORI ART MUSEUM can just as well host Art Nouveau collections as free compositions on love. Not far from there, the GRAND HYATT hotel is flooded every weekend by Tokyoites in need of some indulgence enjoying a holiday in the city. Its Shunbou restaurant maintains the very strict rules of "Ryotei", Japanese fine dining.
Katsuhiko Shimaji writer-barman, member since 2008
Mr Shimaji, the former editor-in-chief of Japanese Playboy, now publishes a luxurious editorial entitled "Magna Carta" to which his writer friends contribute news items, interviews and refined culinary articles, ranging from a review of a brown bear steak tasting, to a report on fermented foods. As well as editing this masculine cultural review, Mr Shimaji also sets forth his conception of virile elegance in a corner of Isetan department store in Shinjuku. Every Saturday and Sunday afternoon, he personally serves Cuban cigars, Japanese single malts and Nespresso Grand Crus. He particularly enjoys a ROMA which he drinks by the rules as a carefully brewed Espresso. In terms of machines, he naturally gravitates towards the U, whose flexibility means it can fit into any kitchen.
TO MR SHIMAJI, TOKYO IS A CITY OF CONSTANT ACTIVITY, YET WHICH MAINTAINS AN UNRUFFLED EXTERIOR, JUST AS THE SURFACE OF A CALM SEA MASKS THE LIFE SWIRLING BENEATH. Although you can taste food from many different cultures in Tokyo, it has often been adapted by Japanese chefs who came across it in other countries. It is as if this city preferred an adaptation to the original, creating a universality which reflects back only its own face, a voyage from the self to the self. A vision of the world which exempts this country from having to truly interact with others. Frenchman Christophe Paucod is one of the few ex-pat chefs who has successfully altered the cuisine of his birthplace to suit the Japanese palate. His restaurant, LUGDUNUM, translates the exuberance of classic Lyonnais dishes into a more minimalist setting, perfectly encapsulating modernity and a celebratory spirit. Demonstrating a similar tension between the future and tradition, the noble MEIJI SHRINE juxtaposes teenagers dressed like Harajuku cake toppers, whose zany appropriation of western clothing displays a curious mix of exuberance and inhibition. In the Ginza district, the old facade of the famed KABUKI-ZA THEATRE has been re-created rather than restored, with the result that the new temple to Japanese epic drama only hints at what came before, like a computer-generated image. In Roppongi, MADURO bar with its leather-topped counter has developed an exhaustive menu of grain spirits, delighting this lover of single malts who is so greatly admired for his SALON SHIMAJI at Isetan Men's department store. The writer explores the subjects of his next books with his fans, mixing soda with whiskey from Suntory distilleries.
Mari Kubota designer, member since 2013
This young woman develops small products on behalf of businesses who want to promote their brand identity through personalised products. For example, she has designed a pocket-sized dressing-room mirror complete with a circle of lights, which allows you to network in a night club queue. It can now be found in concept stores the world over. What she finds exciting about Tokyo is the way the city appropriates global fashion trends without losing its own identity. A little like the teenagers of Omotesando overloaded with imported clothing and accessories, whose creative ways of combining items lend them an indefinably Japanese air. Mari brews herself DECAFFEINATO latte until late at night with an Electric Lime PIXIE which matches her green living space.
THE LONG AXIS OF GINKGO AVENUE IS LINED WITH HUGE, AGE-OLD TREES, WHOSE FAN-LIKE LEAVES ARE THE EMBLEM OF THE CITY OF TOKYO. With a melancholy reminiscent of a Kawabata novel, this unchanging part of town comes into its own in autumn and has remained relatively tourist-free, despite its proximity to the Meiji shrine. Far from the fierce parades of Harajuku youth, RESTAURANT I serves Franco-Japanese fusion cuisine as cheeky as the aforementioned sartorial experiments. Its chef trained alongside two-Michelin-starred Niçois Keisuke Matsuchima in the Côte d'Azur. At HONMURA AN, there is the curious sensation of being seated with other refugees of the urban explosion. The restaurant's speciality is soba noodles, which diners eat quickly so as to capture and recreate every aromatic nuance on the palate, much like someone appreciating a coffee. HIGASHI-YAMA has an ambiance somewhere between the architecture of Le Corbusier and an opium den, converging on the waxed concrete counter of the attractive open kitchen. The menu is less bipolar, particular highlights including thick wheat noodles served in cooking water flavoured with yuzu, and a coconut flan balanced by a bitter matcha tea reduction. Finally, the bookshop complex that is DAIKANYAMA T. SITE has risen from the ashes of digitalisation, like a sort of rehab centre for cultural content, whether music, newspapers, literature or films; a centre of gravity for these worlds fast losing their attraction.
Toshikazu Iwaya stylist, member since 2008
Toshikazu is a designer for clothing label Dress Camp, and confesses a love of vibrant colours. His designs combine street style with the ceremony of historic Japanese clothing. Despite appearances, Tokyo is a city which seeks out flashes of colour. Not without reason, we imagine its pavements to be filled with grey-suited penpushers, but this funereal costume of post-war bureaucrats never truly stifled the city's taste for the bright, exciting but never garish colours which were the pride and joy of city-dwellers in days gone by. This thoroughly refutes the idea that Japan turns its nose up at sensuality, or finds pleasure and enjoyment painful. Toshikazu swears by Pure Origin INDRIYA from India Grand Cru, which he drinks as an Espresso brewed in his PIXIE machine.
THE FAMED GOOD MANNERS OF TOKYO'S INHABITANTS DO NOT GET IN THE WAY OF THEM HAVING SOME FUN. One of the best ways to have a good time in the city is through its myriad of restaurants, each of which specialise in one particular ingredient, dressing or way of preparing food. At KANEISHI, the chef is a former baseball champion complete with bandana and sweatbands who has reinvented himself, taking up the most physical of Japanese cooking forms, teppanyaki: the art of cooking on an iron griddle. Teppanyaki has been hugely successful in the States, where it has become an elaborate gymnastic display. Here, you can expect physicality, rather than cheap tricks. Seated at the bar, dishes are prepared before your eyes as the suspense builds: yam pancakes melting with fried egg, sauté tripe with lotus roots stuffed with caviar, dashi-soaked crepes rolled up like cigars and served on pork belly and onion leaves then caramelised with soy sauce... NARUKIYO is another restaurant managed by a charismatic chef, with a reputation for offering customers a list of quality ingredients from which they create a personalised menu. Most of the ingredients likely come from the TSUKIJI MARKET, which is a real journey to the depths of the ocean in the middle of Tokyo. If you do not make it to the incredible tuna auction which takes place before sunrise, go along to sample the amazing variety of sushi bars (in particular the Ryiu bar) which cling to the outskirts of the market like barnacles to a whale. Every bit as exotic, LE PAZ café is an oasis of calm in a city always rushing onwards, while clothing store DRESS CAMP makes use of whimsical prints and bright colours.
Tetsuyuki Kokin graphic artist, member since 2007
His first job as a typographer got him designing logos, and also led him to design a font for both alphabetic writing and Japanese characters (the not inconsequential task of nearly 8000 printing characters each produced in normal and capital letters). Unlike traditional calligraphy using a paintbrush, modern fonts do not require a skilled writer, but demand perfect writing. They fill the gap between unique, one-off works and dull uniformity. In Japan, this came about as the result of developments in parallel with progress, unlike the luminous signs which naively decorate Chinese skyscrapers without seeming to have lost their primitive, talismanic quality. Tetsuyuki uses his PIXIE to brew Espressos made with ARPEGGIO Grand Cru during the day, and DECAFFEINATO INTENSO in the evening.
JAPAN IS AN ORDERED COUNTRY, WHOSE VERY GEOGRAPHY SUGGESTS A READING DIRECTION, A FRONT PAGE AND FLIP SIDE. Tokyo is located on the right side of the map, on the part destined to be seen. That does not stop underground sushi bar NUMAZUKOU from serving raw fish dishes from Tetsuyuki Kokin's homeland on Japan's flip side, on its eastern shore: the blind side of the country, where comforts are limited. From the side that can be seen, Tuscan restaurant BICE enjoys an unbeatable view over the Port of Tokyo and its walls often host works by contemporary artists. A five-minute walk from Tetsuyuki's home is the IMPERIAL PALACE, home to the oldest monarchy in the world, now devoid of any governmental responsibilities and whose only power consists of unveiling the chrysanthemums in the palace gardens. When not visiting these spots, Tetsuyuki goes to NIHONBASHI BRIDGE, which offers one of the most striking views of the peaceful coexistence of successive centuries in the Japanese capital. Such is the case with TOKYO STATION, a combination of the Far East and the Wild West, combining exotic and indigenous features, such as its fine slate dome and puritanical facade. It brings to mind an Asian operatic spin on a Chopin composition, denatured en route so that all dissonances and unexpected twists are smoothed out to create a fluid piece. Behind the prestigious shop front, the station houses an ambitious shopping centre, whose logo Tetsuyuki Kokin is proud to have designed.
Atsushi Uchida, national boutique manager in Japan, tells us how the people of Tokyo have taken to Nespresso and its Grand Crus.
Atsushi Uchida: The boutique is our flagship, the biggest space dedicated to Nespresso in Japan. Its striking façade is ideal for showcasing the brand. It hosts exhibitions by local artists who are inspired by our world, like the multi-media artist, Asami Kiyokawa, whose work has been here since our launch. We also have an "experiential centre", providing two levels of introductory sessions for clients who are passionate about learning more about coffee (see our Experts section).
A. U.: It is on Omotesando Avenue, an iconic road at the heart of Tokyo. The megacity does not really have a city centre and is actually just a cluster of villages that were swallowed up by rapid urban development. We are in a thriving commercial area which is starting to prove an alternative to Ginza, the leading upscale district in the capital.
A. U.: People from all over Tokyo, Japan and even Asia come to us. During office hours, many office workers come here to relax between meetings. They immediately took to this boutique when it opened last spring.
A. U.: The Japanese are used to drinking their coffee with milk and our customers appreciate the diverse range of recipes that they can try using our technology. Iced coffee is also very popular in this country and we have even installed an ice dispenser in the boutique.
A. U.: Precision, without doubt. They have picked up on the incredible accuracy of our methods, from the quality of coffee-bean selection to the clarity of our range of Limited Editions, each standing out from each other, the perfect amount in each capsule and the high-performance system used to preserve freshly-ground coffee. And of course, there's the rigorous extraction process which helps create the perfect Espresso, at the right temperature and ready to be enjoyed. Finally, the people of Tokyo are attracted to the compact nature of our machines. Don't forget that they mainly live in small apartments. To them, the "U" machine in particular seems to perfectly combine design and performance.

Last Thursday was a good day for Tanzania's agriculture, as the government and an Indian company formally agreed on the modalities of further promoting irrigation farming and the efficient management and use of water in Tanzania.
Specifically, the day saw the Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives ministry and India's Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd sign a memorandum of understanding to that effect.
Part of the proof that this was a decisive occasion for Tanzanians lay in the fact that the signing ceremony was witnessed by none other than Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda, who has always declared that his humble beginnings have made him both adore and treasure agriculture.
But it is also on record that the Indian firm stands as one of the largest and most technologically advanced players in irrigation farming in the world, which should make Tanzania proud to have wooed such a giant into agreeing to support its agriculture.
As self-avowed guardians of the national agricultural policy popularly known as Kilimo Kwanza, which suggests that agriculture is now our country's top priority, we are likewise proud. This is because it is our hope that Thursday's ceremony will soon be followed by concrete action that will help pull the stings of drudgery and avoidable pain from Tanzania's agriculture, making the sector a step more modern and therefore more efficient and productive.
In remarks at the ceremony, an upbeat PM Pinda expressed hope that Tanzania's agriculture would find JISL's rich and long global experience in research and actual farm work a sure asset.
He said his dream was to see the Indian firm chip in with new but appropriate and affordable technology that would facilitate the evolution of irrigation and other modes of agriculture, improve food processing and marketing alongside supporting the development of renewable sources of energy.
This ties in excellently with the pillars of Kilimo Kwanza, one of which is the need to transform peasant and small-scale farmers into commercial players through emphasis on greater productivity and enhanced tradability of their produce.
Also underlined is the importance of promoting medium and large-scale farmers to the full realisation of the initiative's vision and objectives – that is, the modernisation and commercialisation of agriculture at all levels.
It is heartening that in his observations at Thursday's event, PM Pinda did not start and end with appeals to the Indian company only. Rather, and this is noteworthy, he said it was of crucial importance for the government to use the line of credit extended by the Indian government tom demonstrate the various wonders technological "wizardry" can do with water.
To be fair, the government has done a lot in terms of drawing up plans to ensure more efficient and economical use of the water resources Tanzania is blessed with. However, there is precious little to show with respect to implementation – that is, unless one cites the very few cases of irrigation practised by private farmers.
What is most needed now is to ensure we put to truly abide by the letter and spirit of Kilimo Kwanza, in part by ensuring intervention by partners like JISL effectively complement our own efforts.

In 1961 Mary moved to New York from Los Angeles. After working various jobs including one at the Whitney where she was fired for insubordination, she opened up a vintage store in Soho. I asked her what her favorite thing about living in the city was and she replied, " I just love walking around New York. The world changes every 3 blocks." Mary has a great love for vintage and antique items, especially memorabilia from the 1939 World's Fair held in New York City.She was born the same year as the fair and is seen in a few of the photos above wearing one of the ticket takers uniforms. She let me know that, " items from the 70's are not vintage" and that the most important thing about New York is the street life, walking around and seeing new things.
Mary shared some wonderful stories and after a quick change into something more "modern" we headed out for a little walk and a trip to Venieros. Check out some of Mary's New York favorites below:
2. Sitting in Rockefeller center a major part of the Art Deco period.
3.Taking the M9 bus from Ave B crosstown. Its a cheap mini tour of Lower Manhattan.
4. Visiting the Cloisters on a beautiful afternoon.
5. Visiting The Ukrainian National Home in the east village.

Haiti's heroineMay 2012
Port-au-Prince, HaitiWant to embed this video?
Get the code
Two years after the country's devastating earthquake, the UNHCR reports an alarming upsurge in rape cases against women and children of all ages in the squalid refugee camps. But there are some who have had the courage to take on the system and become crusaders for women's rights.
Jocie Philistin has been fighting to criminalize rape and stop violence against women in Haiti for 15 years. A first victory was making rape a crime in 2005.
"Violence against women and young girls in Haiti has always been taken for granted," says Jocie. "It's been a huge victory in Haiti, that now it is considered a crime under Haitian law."
Jocie runs Kofaviv, one of the first women's rights organizations in Haiti founded by rape victims. She says it took time to effect change, but becoming a victim of violence herself galvanized her efforts.
In 1994, as a law student, Jocie was on a routine student committee meeting with the military government.
"One of the officials called me into his office. The door slammed shut. It was one of those doors that could only open when pressing a button. He took my clothes off and I fought him off. Thank God the penetration was not all the way, but the atrocity of his violence was hard to fight. He finally let me go."
Jocie says she kept he assault a secret, even while working as an advocate for other rape victims. "I had reconciled myself to the fact that my virginity had not been completely violated. And thought it could be forgotten."
Still, she filed a complaint, never expecting to see him again. "I was working in prisons… preaching. When I saw him in jail, I relived all the atrocities of that day. That's when I realized the post-traumatic conditions were still very much alive."
It proved a turning point for Jocie. Today she coordinates Kofaviv, providing one of the few "safe houses" in a dilapidated capital that remains dangerous territory for unprotected women and children living in appalling conditions in the refugee camps.
Despite the change in the law, few rape cases have been brought to justice, especially in a country where human rights groups say poverty and weak state institutions foster a climate of impunity. Jocie told us, "There's always a problem applying the law when you have a dysfunctional justice system that instills fear among the population, especially the victims who are the most vulnerable and live in marginalized conditions."
But while she will never forget, she still has hope.
"One can, over time, maybe heal a little, self-channel. But it's an act you can never forget. Because you don't want a rape to diminish you, to marginalize you in society. And that is our fight, to make the victim understand that you don't have to be ashamed."

Panthers hope fast start is sign of things to come

Pinewood School head coach Cayse Kaveny doesn't want to get too excited about her volleyball team's 2-0 start. Yet she can't help but be encouraged by the Panthers' performance.
"We haven't really been tested just yet, but I am happy with the way we have responded when we weren't playing our best," Kaveny said. "The girls have been able to make adjustments during the game, and that's huge."
Pinewood didn't face much resistance in its opener, sweeping Liberty Baptist 25-18, 25-21, 25-11 Sept. 8 in Los Altos Hills. The Panthers showed their resolve the next day, however, winning at Capuchino in four games: 25-17, 23-25, 25-15, 25-22.
Kaveny was proud of the way Pinewood shook off a second-game loss to win the next two to take the match.
"So much of volleyball can be played on emotion and momentum," she said. "It is really important that, as a player, you are able to forget your mistakes and move on to the next play. I have found that sometimes that is the hardest thing to teach. I always tell my players that volleyball is a game of mistakes, and the team that makes the least wins. It is OK to make a mistake, even the best players do, but it is really how you respond to that mistake and what you do next that matters."
Junior Hailie Eackles made the biggest statement in the match, notching her first double-double of the season. The athletic outside hitter tallied 18 kills, 10 digs and four aces. Senior Jennifer Jue added 11 digs, while junior Lizzie Fields "was big at the net," Kaveny said, posting two solo blocks and three block assists.
Middle blocker Fields, all-leaguer Eackles and sophomore Michelle Tarlton are the team's top returning players, according to the coach. Pinewood has eight returnees, four of whom started last year.
Of the four players new to the squad, Kaveny said sophomores Kandace Korver and Jen Bodine "have shown the most improvement during the preseason thus far."
Bodine had seven kills against Liberty Baptist, tying Eackles for team-high honors. Senior Jessica Lacy contributed six aces in the match.
Kaveny said the Panthers' strengths include the "commitment to each other and team goals." Those goals include competing for first place in the West Bay Athletic League Skyline Division, in which they finished fourth last year at 6-6. The coach expects Pinewood to contend with defending champion King's Academy, Crystal Springs and possibly Woodside Priory for the title.
To do so, the Panthers must "hold one another accountable for the goals we set early on," Kaveny said. "I want them to support each other and believe in themselves, but a little ball control and a fast offense wouldn't hurt, either."
Ball control is the area in which Pinewood needs the most improvement, according to the coach, but she is convinced her players have the work ethic to get better at it.
"(They have a) willingness to work hard every day in practice and push themselves and each other to get better," said Kaveny, who played volleyball for Mitty High and Florida Atlantic University
It's that mentality that has Kaveny almost giddy about the potential of this team – even if it's early in the season.
"It is my third season at Pinewood, and I am really excited about everything we are doing right now," she said. "I have two great assistants (Kym Le and Carter Youngblood), and a team of girls I know will work hard for the common goal every day.
Pinewood is scheduled to visit Fremont-Sunnyvale 7 p.m. today.

Ohio's junior class is loaded with quality defensive backs and one of the best is Avon product Ross Douglas. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound cornerback is coming an impressive junior season for the Eagles and he continues to be one of the most heavily recruited juniors in the Buckeye State. With the coaching staff shakeup at Ohio State, the Buckeyes haven't lost track of Douglas as he is still very much on the radar screen. "Coach (Taver) Johnson was up at the school today," said Douglas. "They aren't allowed to call guys down (to speak with coaches) so I didn't get a chance to talk to him." Still, Douglas was pleased to hear that Ohio State is still tracking him, especially with Urban Meyer now at the helm. "It's a good hire for Ohio State," he said. "Urban Meyer is one of the best college coaches probably in the past decade. Him bringing his winning tradition to Ohio State when they really needed that, it helps a lot. I really think that Ohio State is heading in the right direction in the next couple years." Ohio State isn't the only big-time program showing serious interest in the lockdown corner, many of the elite programs in the Midwest are doing the same. "Right now I have four offers and I'm hearing from a lot of schools," he said. "The main ones are Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Louisville, and there's a bunch more that I've been talking to on a constant basis. I think my recruitment should pick up here in January in the next couple of months." With such a loaded group of defensive backs in Ohio's 2013 class, naturally many Big Ten programs should benefit from the depth. Douglas says he takes pride in the quality of the class as a whole and uses the stereotypes that Ohio doesn't produce elite skill players as a motivational tool when he competes at camps. "Oh, no doubt," Douglas said, when asked if he carried a chip on his shoulder at the big camps. "Mostly they just say that SEC schools only recruit Ohio linemen or whatever but we have some nice skill players in this class. We just want to make it known around the nation that we can compete with anybody." Douglas is just a month removed from the completion of his junior football season and overall he was pretty satisfied with how everything went. "I did really good this season," he said. "I was a little disappointed in myself in the title game. I played the title game with a concussion so that's the only thing that really disappointed me this season. Other than that, I think I performed very well for my team and I did everything that my coach asked me for." Despite the tough loss in the finals, Douglas enjoyed the experience and the opportunity to compete against other high level players. "It was great," he said. "We played a very good Trotwood-Madison team. We got to play against some great players like Mike McCray, Bam Bradley, and Cam Burrows. All three of them are very good players and it was just tough that it had to end that way." Douglas is currently the No. 7 ranked player in the BuckeyeGrove.com class of 2013 Ohio rankings.

I've featured A.J. Dimarucot aka Collision Theory on this blog many times before (read interview) and was excited when I read this post that he made over at Emptees regarding a Kevin Garnett design that he did a year ago. This story should be pretty inspiring for you would be and hopeful designer types.
I had a friend who worked in Adidas in my country and I emailed him the graphic, asking him to send it over to his US contacts. I was hoping they would pick it up and use it on t-shirts.
A year passed and nothing came of it. Until June of this year.
I got an email.
From Adidas.
They wanted to buy the graphic.
I didn't wait long enough….I had sold the graphic to a clothing line who liked the zombie quality of the design. And they didn't really care that it was actually KG. I never expected Adidas to come back to me after so long. So I sold the damn design to someone else!
So I told the Adidas contact it was not available anymore expecting I would probably miss the only chance I could work with a client like Adidas. But good thing they wanted me to do graphics for Dwight Howard (fuck you SWH haha) and Derrick Rose. So I did! They're not in stores yet and probably won't be available until 2010 (if at all they print it).
So I was stoked. Thinking I was lucky enough to have worked for them. Damn good pieces for the folio.
I thought it would end there.
Come November of this year. Nike US emails me and asks if I could do some t-shirt graphics for them. Telling me how much they like my work. They actually showed me a design of mine they really liked.
Guess what graphic it was..
So I did two Nike Air Max graphics for them for their Europe accounts. They paid me a damn huge amount and they may or may not print the design.
So there. I officially love Kevin Garnett.
Moral of the story. Do things you love. One day someone will pay you for it.

There's a popular story that's been floating around my family for years. My mother revels in telling it, and every time she does, it elicits a mixture of nervous laughs, horrified looks and hasty signs of the cross. It's about my mother's childhood BFF, Rosie. Rosie and my mom lived next door to each other while growing up, and for most of that time were inseparable. They played with each other's dolls, did each other's hair and practically lived in each other's houses. Rosie wasn't Italian, but my nonna loved her anyway. After Rosie and Mom graduated from high school, my mom began dating my dad and Rosie met a nice boy named Tommy. Of course, they did a lot of double dating too. And, when they both got married, they were each other's maids of honor.
After a while, Rosie and Tommy bought their first house out in Long Island and moved away. Since not many young couples had cars back then, Mom and Rosie didn't see too much of each other anymore. So, it was a huge deal when my father bought his first car, and we excitedly drove out to "the island" for our first visit to Rosie and Tommy's place. read more >>

The porcelain crown which had been placed over the lower left second molar fourteen years back, in a city based Dental Clinic had admirably served its purpose.
However, of late the porcelain crown had come out of its base as the patient was flossing the inter-dental spaces between first molar and second molar and second molar and third molar. The patient had been methodically scrupulous in maintaining her oral hygiene.
As a 54 year old business woman her job was to interact with customers and convince them of the quality of watches in the shop which had a varying range of price-line.
She was conscious of the fact that her breath should always 'smell good' as halitosis of the mouth would discourage the clients from engaging in face to face financial transactions.
The Dental Surgeon surveyed the porcelain crown which the patient had tucked in her hand bag and taken out.
The status of the porcelain crown was good. The sulfaces-occlusal, mesial, distal, bucal and lingual-were all clear of plaque or food debris. The porcelain had remained intact despite the load of mastication it had taken over the years.
The patient said earnestly that since the porcelain crown had been out she had a weird smell and taste in her mouth. She wanted to have the crown fitted back into the void, left by the dismantled crown.
The Dental Surgeon (DS) cleared off the previous carboxylate cement from the hollow of the porcelain crown using the high speed drill with its jet of water to cool the crown. The cement provides the much needed tightening around the cut tooth and helps to retain the crown in place.
The DS was about to place the crown on the site to see if the bite with the upper molars was okay. His eyes fell on the base of the tooth which had been providing the support to the tooth. There was no portion of the enamel or dentine left. Instead, around the margins of the gums the two roots had opened up.
Their canals had reddish points indicative of the root –canal treatment that had been carried out more than a decade ago. The patient said, "I have also been having pain in the same tooth when I chew food." The DS addressing her concern said, "There is no sufficient base on your second molar to provide a retentive seat to the porcelain crown. Furthermore the roots are denuded. The gums are inflamed.
They also bleed upon slight probing. There is also a degree or two of mobility associated with your roots.
I wish to convey to you that even after insertion of freshly prepared cement to place the porcelain crown back into its original position there is a possibility that the porcelain crown will not hold".
The patient did not like the site of the roots and the accompanying redness of the gums around the roots. She said, "Doctor, please try to cement the crown as best as you can."
The porcelain crown was re-fitted into the stumps of the roots.
For the sake of any future need for a new restoration it was decided to take a peri-apical view of the area. Needless to say both roots at their ends showed gross resorption of the alveolar bone that normally supports the tooth structure. No amount of conservation of the roots would help to restore the health of the roots.
The patient, as per the differential diagnosis, came back after eight days to the Dental Surgeon. She was carrying the crown as on 'integument'. She agreed to have the infected roots of the molar removed under local anesthesia. The roots came out nice and easy with no resistance whatsoever, offered by the underlying bone.
The patient is now awaiting the complete healing of the socket site. She said, "I want to replace the gap with a removable partial denture which is clipped in. It I get used to this contraption it will save me the expenditure which I may have to incur in case I have to go for fixed crown and bridgewook."
A mouth later a removable prosthesis consisting of the second molar with two stainless steel clasps grasping the anterior and posterior molars was put in place. The patient seems quite comfortable with the denture.
Son: "Pop, what's the capital of Uruguay?"
Father: "I don't know, son."
Son: "Where was Mwalimu Nyerere born?."
Father: "I don't know."
Son: "What is a polygon?"
Mother: "Don't bother your Father!"
Father: "Let him ask questions. How else is he going to learn?"
In the trilogue above, the son would have been better off seeking answers to his quessions from somebody with an educational base. An ignoramus cannot provide a reply to a question posed by his own child if he has no academic background.
The patient in the Dental Clinc at least made it certain that her dental problem was tackled with appropriate expertise of the Dental Surgeon. There is no room for flippancy in health matters.
