By Harold Liversage, regional land advisor, and Steven Jonckheere, land and natural resources associate for IFAD in East and Southern Africa.
A range of stakeholders, from civil society, governments of both investing and recipient countries, and intergovernmental organizations, have expressed concerns about the possible negative impact that increased demand and competition for land and water is having on the land rights and food security of rural people in developing countries. At the same time it is recognized that if done properly, private-sector investment can play a significant role in providing much needed capital, expertize, technologies and market access for smallholder farmers and rural communities more generally. To realize these benefits it is important that smallholder farmers and rural communities more generally are centrally involved in decisions regarding the investments being made.
One approach to increasing sustainable private-sector investment in agriculture, is to promote mutually beneficial partnerships between smallholder farmers and private-sector investors.. Such partnerships can take the form of outgrower schemes, contract farming or joint share equity schemes, with outside investors focusing mainly on providing expertise and other support in agro-processing or improved access to markets. The success of such partnerships, and the real benefits to smallholder farmers and rural communities more generally, depends on the level of ownership, voice (governance), risk-sharing and benefit-sharing between partners.
During the workshop a range of business models that are being used by IFAD to structure agricultural investments in lower- and middle-income countries were showcased at the workshop. The following five experiences were presented and revealed what has worked – and what has not – in inclusive business models currently in practice: i) commercial oil palm farming in Uganda; ii) integrating smallholder farmers in Swaziland's sugar industry; iii) building farmer's income and safety nets while securing the local energy supply in Burkina Faso and Mali; iv) organic and Fairtrade cocoa production in São Tomé; and, v) smallholder tea production in Rwanda.
The models fall under the umbrella of 'contract farming' or 'outgrower farming', which involves agricultural production carried out on the basis of an agreement between the buyer and farm producers. It has been used for decades but its popularity has been increasing in recent years. Under one of them, the 'centralized model,' a company provides support to smallholder production, purchases the crop, and then processes it, closely controlling its quality. This model is used for crops such as tobacco, cotton, sugar cane, banana, tea and rubber. Under the 'nucleus estate' model, the company also manages a plantation in order to supplement smallholder production and provide minimum throughput for the processing plant. This approach is mainly used for tree crops such as oil palm and rubber. If done properly, the centralized model or nucleus estate can provide a good basis for a strong partnership between smallholder farmers and investors. For example, if an investor is establishing a processing plant, his risks can be reduced he is able to secure a guaranteed minimum production output. At the same time, the company can strengthen its commitment to provide the best inputs and technical support to smallholders, as well as providing farmers with a guaranteed market. The key for the success of such models is an equitable and transparent pricing mechanism and clear agreements on quantities for the purchase of feedstock from smallholders.
Establishing mutually beneficial partnerships are possible, but they require sustained support by a range of service providers (government, civil society, private sector), and effort and time. Particular attention needs to be given to empowering smallholder farmers and rural communities to engage on equal terms with outside investors. There is also a need to monitor the implementation of agreements to ensure that the anticipated benefits are realized. Private sector is looking for practical tools for securing the tenure rights of local communities. More work is needed to better understand free, prior and informed consent practically entails.

I probably shouldn't say this on the food blog, but sometimes I get sick of thinking about food. Mostly it is what we will eat for dinner that is the problem.
Breakfast and lunch are usually much the same. Cereal with yoghurt and fruit, usually dried cranberries for breakfast and lunch is salad with some form of cold meat like corned silverside or roast lamb for lunch. But dinner, that's another story. It's often where I get stumped. Sometimes I am just so over thinking about what to cook.
A frequent conversation in our house goes like this. 'What do your want for dinner?' I ask.
'I don't know,' Mick often answers.
'Come on, It's your turn to think of what we're having. I thought up last night's dinner,' I say only half joking.
I admit this has only happened since Mick retired. Before then I had always planned what we having for dinner, except for weekends when it was often a more casual attitude. But now he is here all day I feel like I could do with a bit of help at times. And sometimes he is great. He comes up with an idea I may not have thought of. I am usually happy to make what he suggests.
Of course he has his favorite dishes like Jalepeno Meatballs. I was only too happy to make it the other night because he'd suggested it, I know it is a favorite of his and it was a way of saying thank you for all the work he's been doing this week on drafts of leaflets for my upcoming book launch in a couple of weeks.
I know experts suggest you should plan your menu area of time and before you shop, and then work according to that plan. What about you? Do you plan meal in advance?
I admit I'm never found that satisfactory. Every time I have planned a meal something happens and the weather changes so it's no longer appropriate or I get to that day and feel I simply can't face cooking whatever it is or don't feel like that dish. So while it works for some people it doesn't work for me. We'll just muddle along in this house sharing ideas about what to have for dinner.

London, July 3 (ANI): Spanish tennis player Fernando Verdasco, who is drawn to face Andy Murray in the Wimbledon men's quarterfinals today, has modeled nude for Cosmopolitan magazine, along with appearing on billboards for Calvin Klein underwear, and boasting of some of the best women in tennis as girlfriends.
According to the Mirror, the member of Spain's 2013 Hopman Cup winning team is currently dating a Victoria's Secret model Jarah Mariano, who appeared in the title sequence of the James Bond film Skyfall.
The report said that Verdasco was used to mixing with the rich and famous as his family owned a trendy restaurant in Madrid frequented by Spain's top footballers.
Verdasco also has a collection of sports cars and is best friends with countryman Feliciano Lopez, who has been dubbed 'Deliciano' by Andy's mother and coach, Judy Murray, the report added. (ANI)

5 things to know about Florida's slowly improving job market
Largo's Ditek Corp., a bright spot in manufacturing in the Tampa Bay bay area, plans to add employees. Above, workers assemble and test surge protectors. (Photo: Cheri Diez, Tampa Bay Times.)
Wake up and good morning. We learned last week that Florida's unemployment rate continues to dip and now stands at 8.7 percent. That's a horrendously, punishingly high number that actually looks terrific to us here in the Sunshine State after years of double-digit jobless numbers.
Now let's put a bit more meat on the bones of Florida's job market so we have a better sense of where we stand. Here are 5 things to know about Florida (un)employment right now.
1. Pink slips are still happening to large groups of people. Just less often. Florida had 70 "mass layoff" actions in April, down from from 98 in April of 2011. Translated? That means 4,900 Floridians lost their jobs in these cutbacks compared to 7,600 a year earlier. Read more in this South Florida Sun Sentinel story.
2. The number of Florida counties with double-digit unemployment (Flagler (highest at 11.6 percent), Dixie, Hendry, Hernando and St. Lucie) fell to five in April from ten in March and from a whopping 31 counties in April 2011. Read the 5/18/12 state data here.
3. During the downturn, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics routinely lumped Florida's high jobless rate among those states with the highest margins above the national unemployment rate. No more, as this BLS release (see Table A) shows. The highest unemployment rates are now Nevada (11.7 percent), Rhode Island (11.2 percent) and California (10.9 percent). And plenty of other states now post higher jobless rates than Florida's 8.7 percent, including North Carolina, New Jersey, Georgia and the District of Columbia.
4. Florida posted the third largest drop in unemployment over the past year -- dropping 1.9 percentage points -- among the states. Only Michigan (down 2.2 percentage points) and Alabama (down 2 percentage points) had a steeper drop. See Table B in the BLS release.
5. Florida added 52,600 jobs in the past year, from April 2011 to April 2012. Is that good compared to other states? The big job gainers are Texas (225,800), California (175,600), New York (131,000), a surprising Michigan (59,300) and Indiana (54,200). So Florida is 6th in annual job gains.
Yes, Florida lost jobs in April versus March. Yes, more Floridians stopped looking for work, which statistically helped make the jobless rate lower. Yes, Florida is awash in underemployed workers and part-timers. Yes, many jobs being created in Florida do not pay much.
But the state's still better off than it was in 2011, 2010 and 2009.

The new (to me) Infinity Music Hall in Hartford played host to Brooklyn dhol and brass band Red Baraat on a post-show Saturday during March Madness. Those two factors likely had a measurable impact on the attendance, but those faithful fans who made it out were seriously into the music. Some were even families with kids—and all were dancing unabashedly to the bhangra fusion.

The 30th anniversary benefit concert for the Tibet House US organization was the gemstone in a slew of events celebrating the 80th birthday of Philip Glass. Glass is the artistic director for the annual benefit shows and this year's slate featured many familiar faces from recent years including Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, Scorchio Quartet, Lavinia Meijer and Laurie Anderson. It also included the Alabama Shakes and New Order.
The latter's Bernard Sumner joined Pop for "Stray Dog" and Joy Division's "She's Lost Control". Sufjan Stevens was introduced by the Executive Director of the ACLU Anthony Romero before he spoke briefly about love then performed "The Star Spangled Banner" with the aid of the Scorchio Quartet. Patti Smith wrapped up the evening with a cover of Dylan's "Hard Rain Is Gonna Fall" and led nearly all the musicians in a rousing "People have the Power" set. Smith's final words to the audience were rousing—she implored, "Use your voice, be vigilant, be strong, be happy."
Drive-By Truckers wrapped up their 17 date winter tour with a three night run in their hometown of Athens, Georgia. Just before that however, the band played a two hour set to a capacity crowd at New York's Webster Hall. Kyle Craft kicked off the night around 7:30 before Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley, Brad Morgan, Jay Gonzalez, Matt Patton wasted no time once they began around 8:30 quickly filling the venue with their scuzzy guitars and generously liberal political message.
Drive-By Truckers most recent album American Band (ATO Records) is their most political yet and has drawn a slew of critical adoration. The band led the show with two of the new tracks, "Surrender Under Protest" and "Darkened Flags on the Cusp of Dawn", making it transparent they had a message to share. Introducing the racial-discussion of "What It Means", Hood spoke on how he wrote the song a couple of years back using the murder of Michael Brown as some sort of guidance. But Hood admitted he finds the song is more relevant now given the remarkable rise in incidents of police shooting and killing black people. The lines "I mean Barack Obama won / And you can choose where to eat / But you don't see too many white kids lying / Bleeding on the street" was even more tragic in the light of a Trump victory and the presumption he will reduce or destabilize gun control efforts.
One of the highlights on the newly released Johnnyswim album, Georgica Pond, is the lovely song about solitude and yearning, "Lonely Night in Georgia". The Nashville-based duo was joined by country legend Vince Gill who helped co-write and sing on the track.
Gill was nowhere to be found at Johnnyswim's Atlanta, Georgia gig, but it didn't really matter. The sold out show at the newly refurbished Buckhead Theater was packed with fans who knew every word to the song even though the album it appears on is less than a month old. Johnnyswim were having whatever is the opposite of a lonely night in the Peach State. On a balmy Southern night in November, Johnnyswim was in good company.
Over two nights in the middle of December, jazz guitarist Rez Abbasi premiered his new work Unfiltered Universe at Asia Society in Manhattan alongside his esteemed band, Invocation. Invocation includes two other prominent musicians steeped in South Asian styles, Vijay Iyer on piano and Rudresh Mahanthappa on saxophone as well as Johannes Weidenmueller on bass, Dan Weiss on drums and Elizabeth Means on cello. Invocation shouldn't be considered a fusion band or world music, however—the Indian influences are more subtle.
As the Village Voice noted in a recent interview with Abbasi, "Invocation plays jazz compositions, all by Abbasi, and relates to Indian music at a very broad level (both styles are fundamentally driven by improvisation) and a very subtle one, shaped by years of listening to Indian music and working with Indian musicians—not in between."

A little-known Italian named Ottavio Bottecchia sprang to the forefront on the races second stage, winning the day and grabbing the yellow jersey. The consistent Frenchman Jean Alavoine took over the race lead in the Pyrénées, but Bottecchias team leader, the legendary Henri Pélissier, dominated in the Alps, snatched the yellow jersey in Briançon, and finally won the Tour de France--the one race missing from his impressive career-win list.
Henri Pélissier may have finally won the Tour de France, but the true revelation of the 1922 race was his Italian teammate, Ottavio Bottecchia. After observing the scrawny Italian in the Tour of Lombardy, Pélissier hired him for the Tour de France. "He may look like a peasant, but can he ever climb," Pélissier said of his new recruit. The legendary French rider knew what he was talking about. Bottecchia won the second stage and the yellow jersey. He rode the rest of the race in deference to Pélissier, and he eventually finished second overall. At the end of the race Pélissier insisted, "Next year Bottecchia will be the winner." He was right.
The famous words of Robert Jacquinot, failing and overtaken by Alavoine at Peyresourde: "Jean, I salute you."
Last rider: D. Masson (48th) at 48 h 31 min. 7 sec.
H. Pelissier is the first Frenchman to win since Garrigou (1911). "Bottecchia will take over from me," Pelissier said.
Riders are allowed to receive more technical assistance from their team directors, but riders on the same team still cannot give each other equipment.

Crowded Shuttle Schedule Sparks Worries
Sunday, January 6, 2008
NASA's plan to increase the number of space shuttle flights it launches this year, in an effort to speed up final assembly of the international space station, has stoked concern among independent experts that the space agency is placing scheduling demands on the 27-year-old fleet similar to those that contributed to the Challenger and Columbia disasters.
NASA has scheduled six shuttle launches this year -- twice the number of flights it managed in each of the past two years -- but that plan has already been complicated by the grounding of the shuttle Atlantis as the result of a recurring electrical problem.
Although NASA has many new safety procedures in place as a result of the Columbia accident, the schedule has raised fears that the space agency, pressured by budgetary and political considerations, might again find itself tempting fate with the shuttles, which some say were always too high-maintenance for the real world of space flight.
NASA officials say they remain confident that the three spacecraft will complete their schedule of 13 flights by the time the shuttle program is due to shut down in September 2010. Officials also say they will finish assembly of the space station, which they say will be a historic achievement for mankind.
William H. Gerstenmaier, who has been with the shuttle program since its inception and is now NASA's chief of space operations, acknowledges that flying the shuttles has driven home time and again just how difficult it is to send men and women into space.
Nonetheless, he said that, despite their age, the shuttles are safer now than ever because NASA has learned so much more about flying them. The orbiters themselves remain in good shape, Gerstenmaier said, and the fleet -- which has flown 120 missions -- could continue flying beyond 2010 but for financial and logistical considerations imposed by the effort to build a new generation of spacecraft. The shuttle cannot fly beyond low Earth orbit, and President Bush has called for a renewed effort to explore the moon and later Mars.
"The schedule we've made is very achievable in the big scheme of things," Gerstenmaier said of the remaining flights. "That is, unless we get some unforeseen problems."
The history of the program, however, is filled with such problems -- including a rare and damaging hailstorm at the Kennedy Space Center last year as well as the shedding of foam insulation that led to the destruction of Columbia and its crew in 2003. The 2 1/2 -year hiatus in launches that followed that disaster has already reduced the number of missions scheduled to the space station, and as a result several important and expensive instruments built for it -- including one that cost European researchers $1.5 billion -- now have no way to get into space.
"This pressure feels so familiar," said Alex Roland, a professor at Duke University and a former NASA historian. "It was the same before the Challenger and Columbia disasters: this push to do more with a spaceship that is inherently unpredictable because it is so complex."
The shuttle's complexity is undisputed and proudly proclaimed on the NASA Web site. With room for seven astronauts, a large cargo bay and airplane-like wings that allow it to glide back to Earth for landing, the shuttle can do much more than any other spacecraft in history. But that complexity has also made it subject to innumerable mechanical problems and weather delays -- the kind that seldom trouble the Russian Soyuz program. As Gerstenmaier described it, the Soyuz capsules can easily be launched in winds and other weather that would keep the shuttle earthbound, and they float back to Earth under parachutes like the earlier Apollo capsules.
The panel that investigated the 2003 Columbia disaster addressed the issue of complexity and concluded that it made the shuttle inherently experimental and risky. As a result, some want to see the shuttle grounded as soon as possible. Panel member John Logsdon, a space policy analyst at George Washington University, said another fatal failure must be avoided at all costs, both for the potential loss of life and because it would probably end the manned space program for many years.

A speeding motorist slammed into two parked cars and overturned, seriously injuring his passenger in Point Loma early Tuesday, San Diego police said.
The driver, a 20-year-old man, was northbound on Rosecrans Street at high speed when he lost control of his Nissan sedan about 2:50 a.m., police said.
The sedan crashed into the other cars and flipped over near Kona Way. The driver suffered minor injuries, but his 19-year-old passenger suffered a fractured pelvis and bruised lungs, police said.

What's the strangest thing you can think of that the marketing geniuses of the world have persuaded people to spend money for?
Of course, bottled water has to be right up there.
But the one I keep hearing about on the radio is the Star Registry deal.
I laugh every time I hear it. People can pay something like $50 to register a star in their name.
I mean, this just opens up so many questions for me.
Who granted the authority to these folks to control the naming of the stars? And what level of force are they authorized to use in enforcing this name I purchased. Who's to say my star won't be taken by somebody else in
Moscow or Berlin. Come on, this is my star right.
Are you kidding me? I'm not sure I could even find my star again but that's just me.
I want to charge people to register grains of sand or blades or grass. This is pure genius man. I see grand new markets unfolding before my eye's.
Or maybe I'll box up air in the Rocky Mountains and sell it in
. Los Angeles
What's the craziest thing you ever heard as far as what people are willing to spend money on?

This is a small cammo container located on the snowmobile trail off of Vandercook Rd in the Northern Highland - American Legion State Forest.
In 2008, refelo coined the phrase when his team found "Star Bay Monster 2" (GC150K9) after we both had visited the island via snowmobiles. So we wanted to set out a cache that you can certainly get to via snowmobile and it's on a snowmobile trail.
With some of our finds via snowmobiles we have had to also use our snowshoes or boots (half-stepping)to do quite a bit of hiking- you will not be needing to do that here.
And, while some of our 'extreme winter' caching experiences has also required us to do lots of digging - you will not have to do this here.

When Mets GM Sandy Alderson said he would consider trading for strictly a third baseman, he might as well have said he's not expecting David Wright to return any time soon, or at all this year. That is how they should handle it.
The Mets said Wright would stay in California for the next several weeks. If his rehab progresses, then it won't be until after the All-Star break before he'll even see minor league games. If you figure at least three weeks of games, then we're talking into August before he's activated.
By that time the trade deadline will have passed. And, of course, we have no idea of how he'll play when he comes back, or if there will be a setback.
Alderson told Newsday he has to be open to trading for a third baseman.
"Would we consider a third baseman who can't do anything else?'' Alderson said. "Under the circumstances, yeah, we probably would. But we're not just looking for any third baseman. It has to be something we think is an improvement that doesn't cost us significantly.''
Translation: They don't want to pay.
The current flavor of the month is Milwaukee's Aramis Ramirez, which is a bad idea on several levels. The 36-year-old Ramirez, who indicated he will retire after the season, is hitting only .211 with seven homers and 19 RBI. For that, Ramirez is being paid $14 million.
The Mets don't want to trade a significant prospect and assume that much salary. So, unless the Brewers get bowled over by an offer, they are likely to wait this out until the end of July, figuring somebody might bite.
Milwaukee probably won't eat a significant portion of Ramirez's salary unless they get a decent prospect. The better the prospect, the more of Ramirez's contract they'll assume.
The third baseman I'm most intrigued with is the Angels' David Freese, who will be a free agent this winter. The 32-year-old Freese is making $6.4 million, so in the grand scheme of things, it's not a lot of money.
What the Angels want in return is uncertain, but he's the guy I would want, and if it turns out Wright won't come back, or is moved to the outfield next year, Freese could hang around for a few years. The problem, as it always is with the Mets, is how much they are willing to pay in terms of players and salary.
It seems they want to pay prospective free agents as if they are college students on an internship, meaning they don't want to pay.

RICHMOND coach Damien Hardwick said the Tigers simply didn't come to play in what he described as an "arse whipping"' at Etihad Stadium.
The Tigers, on track to play finals for the first time since 2001, suffered their heaviest loss of the season against North Melbourne, going down by 62 points.
Richmond – sixth on the ladder last night with a nine-five win-loss record- face Gold Coast in Cairns on Saturday, the match the Tigers have dropped in their past two encounters.
"I thought we didn't come to play early,'' Hardwick said.
"I thought they were harder than us, they worked harder than us and we weren't in the game at any stage.
He said North Melbourne's use of Lachlan Hansen as a loose man hurt the Tigers.
"If you bomb the ball to an outnumber, which we knew we were going to get, you're always going to get an arse whipping and that's what happened today,'' he said.
"Second half we probably did a little bit better in that area, but it shouldn't be something that we focus on all week and take till half time to fix.''
He said the result was no more serious than one bad game
"...We just played a really bad game of footy today, it's no deeper than that. The reality is we just had a really poor game.''
"You don't want to lump the whole season into one game,'' he said.
"It's just disappointing that we come out and wanted to play a good style of footy and just couldn't get our game up and going.
"... We think we've got past that stage of the young, inexperienced stuff, we're past it. Good sides perform on a consistent basis and we didn't today, granted we came up against a side which I think played hungry, their pressure and their run was first class.
"...We don't wipe it, from a work rate point of view, we didn't work hard enough. We didn't. They outnumbered us at every contest, so that to me is a player issue we've got to work harder.
"We'll be going through vision. From a track point of view, we'll figure it out. What day break - we've got a seven day break, we travel away so we'll work our way through that.''
Hardwick said his side was different to the one that had previously failed in Cairns against the Suns.
"Last year's last year,'' he said.
"I can bring up 10 years ago, do you want to see how we went then. Reality is we're a different footy side this year."
Brandon Ellis copped a knock to his head late in the first quarter and was substituted out of the game, Daniel Jackson hurt his ankle but played on, while defender Bachar Houli was a late withdrawal from the match with a hamstring issue.
But Hardwick said all three, and injured ruckman Ivan Maric, would be available for Round 16.

Refinishing a bathtub can save a lot of money because it delays or replaces the need to purchase a new bathroom suite. Chemical stripping and refinishing procedures should only be attempted by competent adults using safety equipment.
Things You'll Need
- Bathroom cleaner
- Brush
- Sheeting
- Tape
- Knife
- Blade
- Caulk remover
- Gloves
- Mask
- Goggles
- Disposable brush
- Etching solution
- Baking soda
- Water
- Plastic bags
- Elastic bands
- Fiberglass filler
- Sandpaper
- Vacuum cleaner
- Refinishing kit
- Sprayer
Preparing the Bath Surface for Painting
Begin by cleaning the bath thoroughly with a commercial abrasive cleaner and a plastic scrub brush. Remove all surface grime, rust stains, lime scale and soap scum before proceeding; this will allow any treatments to permanently and correctly adhere to the surface of the bath. Ensure the bath is clean and dry before proceeding.
Prepare the area by laying plastic sheeting or old shower curtains on the floor and fixtures surrounding the bathtub. Tape the sheeting in place so that it doesn't move during the refinishing process. This will prevent accidental spills damaging the area.
Remove all sealing caulk from around the tub using a scraping tool such as a sharp blade. To make the removal process easier, consider purchasing caulk remover that softens dry, hard sealer, and decrease your necessary physical effort. Use a single razor blade to carefully scrape away residual caulk.
Open the window, turn on the exhaust fan and put on gloves, a ventilation mask and goggles. The chemicals used to refinish a tub are highly toxic and should not be inhaled or touched with bare skin. Respirator masks are available at do-it-yourself stores.
Use a small disposal scrubbing brush to apply acid-etching solution to the clean dry surface of the bathtub. Carefully scrub the entire surface of the tub to remove the top surface coating. Allow to set for approximately 20 minutes.
Shake baking soda over the entire surface of the tub to neutralize the acid. Let set for a few minutes, and then rinse with cold water. Keep pouring water over the entire tub to make sure all of the etching solution is washed away.
Dry the bathtub completely before proceeding and ensure no water touches the surface of the tub. Protect against any chance of water entering the tub at this point by covering the shower head and bath taps with a plastic bag held in place with elastic bands.
Repair cracks, chips and nicks with fiberglass filler made for bathtubs before refinishing. Kits are available at home stores; stricly follow the directions on the label. Use sandpaper to smooth down repairs and remove sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner. The bath should still be completely dry before proceeding.
Refinishing and Painting
Purchase a bathtub refinishing kit in your chosen color that includes a cleaning solvent, a primer and a top coat; read the directions very carefully. They should instruct the use of a full mask respirator and professional grade low-pressure sprayer for working with the chemicals.
Clean the bathtub using the solvent in the kit and completely dry the tub following the instructions on the packet. Wait for the tub to be completely dry before proceeding.
Prepare the primer in accordance with the packet directions and place in the sprayer. Spray evenly across the tub creating a single smooth coating. Allow to dry. The drying time should be written on the packet.
Finish the painting process by mixing the top coat and spraying over the primer. Allow to completely dry before removing the plastic sheeting from around the bathroom and enjoying the tub.
Tips & Warnings
- The chemicals in refinishing kits are dangerous. Follow all directions carefully.

Yes, they are. 11 different system-config packages have been pushed as FC6 updates, as has pirut, initscripts and other things. If you go to separate .po files, then, for *every* package that's pushed post release you'll need to add a special new patch to that releases' version of the master file, get it translated, and push out a specific update for that release. You can't just unilaterly move from the head, because other things that *aren't* pushed for FC6 (or whatever) have moved on, and you'll get translations you don't want. If you work directly in the upstream source for these things, as happen now, you avoid these problems. What's needed is better tools for making sure translators are notified on changes, better enforcement of freezes, etc. Splitting the translations off into separate packages just makes the synchronization process worse.

Pedal Chic Stars is a celebration of women entrepreneurs in the world of cycling. Since Pedal Chic was the first women's centric bike shop in the country, we wanted to continue with our mission of empowering, inspiring, supporting and growing women in cycling. The women's "movement" in cycling has tremendous momentum and new fantastic products are being developed by women - for women. We want to bring these products to you.
This month's collection for October 2014 is Tonik Cycling, the newest addition to the shop floor. The fun prints and bright colors have already been a big hit with our customers! Tonik jerseys are made by real women, for real women, so their cut is both comfortable and flattering.
Here's what the founders Lisa and Mary have to say about their journey:
"Before our first century ride, we tried to buy a cycling jersey. We either laughed till our sides ached or wouldn't come out of the dressing room. Why should this be so difficult? That was the beginning of an idea that launched Tonik.
We wanted cycle clothing that functioned on a long ride but wouldn't make you feel silly if you had to walk into a coffee shop. Most importantly, we want women to ride; our goal is to make women feel great when they ride, SO THEY RIDE. We want to share the joy."
The newest additions to the sales floor and our online store are the Abbey and Karen jerseys, plus these killer armwarmers in zebra print and neon coral. I picked up the neon coral for myself (motorists will see my turn signals for sure now!), but I couldn't resist trying on the zebra print with the also just-in Jamis Allegro. This outfit is black and white and "ride" all over..
If you're in Greenville, be sure to stop in and say hello - we've got a lot in the works as we roll into beautiful Fall weather!
You can also see our selection of Tonik apparel in our online store.

Wide receiver: When evaluating the wide receiver position, most prospects are split up into one of three main classifications; big/physical receivers with good ball skills (Z), speedy outside receivers who can burn a defense deep (X), and shifty inside receivers with sure hands that can escape tacklers and move the chains (F).
While some receivers could fit into two positions, and a very select few could play any spot on the field, teams use these classifications to find the perfect pieces for their receiving corps.
Prototype (Z) players: Larry Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson
Prototype (X) players: Mike Wallace, DeSean Jackson
Prototype (F) players: Victor Cruz, Wes Welker
Though the top receivers in this group don't have 'can't miss superstar' written all over them, ala Larry Fitzgerald in 2004, this is possibly the deepest group of receivers that the draft has seen in almost a decade. And though this year won't see seven first round picks like Fitzgerald's class in '04, there is a ton of talent to be had in the second and third round as well.
The cream of the crop
Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma State, 6'1", 207 lbs
Blackmon is the best receiving prospect in this class. Though not the tallest or fastest prospect in this class, Blackmon has great on field awareness and plays the physical game needed in a Z receiver. Blackmon has huge hands and can grab any ball within his reach, and has the ability to break tackles and get open for big plays.
Draft projection: #6 overall to the St. Louis Rams
Michael Floyd, Notre Dame, 6'2", 220 lbs
Floyd is just a bit lower on the pecking order than Blackmon despite having very similar games. Floyd is a physical receiver that plays bigger than he actually is. His lack of elite top end speed limits his ability to beat defenders deep, but he has tremendous body control and can beat almost anyone in jump-ball situations. Multiple alcohol related run-ins with the law made his draft stock a little shaky, but Floyd is slowly moving up draft boards and could sneak into the top 10.
Draft projection: #18 overall to the San Diego Chargers
The speedy little guy
Kendall Wright, Baylor, 5'10", 196 lbs
Wright is a prototype X/F receiver. Though a little on the small side, he has blazing on field speed. There was a small concern about his slow 40 time (4.6+ seconds) at the combine, but Wright responded running in the 4.4 range at his pro-day. Wright has the ability to avoid tacklers and break open big plays, but needs to improve his route running as he mostly capitalized on deep routes that optimized his speed at Baylor.
Draft projection: #22 overall to the Cleveland Browns
The athletic projects
Stephen Hill, Georgia Tech, 6'4", 215 lbs
Hill is the biggest project in this draft outside of Arizona State QB Brock Osweiler. Hill's measurables were off the chart at the NFL scouting combine which instantly turned him from a borderline 3rd round pick into a possible 1st rounder. Hill played in a triple option offense at Georgia Tech, which helped him become the best blocking WR prospect in this class. Unfortunately, his limited time spent running routes in that offense means that he is very raw and will need a few years to develop and refine his route running. A situation where he isn't expected to produce immediately would be ideal.
Draft projection: #30 overall to the San Fransisco 49ers
Brian Quick, Appalachian State. 6'3", 220 lbs
Much like Hill, Quick is a physical specimen that needs time to develop route running and technique to be an effective NFL receiver. Quick has tremendous leaping ability and has impressive coordination. Needs to improve run blocking and explosiveness off the line. Marginal competition playing against small schools means it could take some time for quick to develop.
Draft projection: 2nd round
The darkhorse
Rueben Randle, LSU, 6'3", 210 lbs
Randle could have been considered in the same class as Blackmon and Floyd if he had played in a more balanced offense, but run heavy LSU hindered his development as a receiver. Randle is big, fast, and athletic enough to eventually be a #1 receiver if he can polish his skills. Some concern has been voiced over his lack of production in two games against Alabama, but I believe that was more a factor of below average quarterback play against the nation's best defense.
Draft projection: late 1st – early 2nd round
Falling fast
Alshon Jeffery, South Carolina, 6'3", 216 lbs
Jeffery was once considered to be the top prospect in this group, but enough red flags have been raised to knock him into the 3rd round. Jeffery is at his best on jump balls when he can take advantage of his size, but his poor route running and speed make it difficult at times for him to separate from decent cover corners. Some maturity issues have also hurt his stock.
Draft projection: late 2nd – early 3rd round
If he were only a bit taller
Ryan Broyles, Oklahoma, 5'10", 192 lbs
Like the title says, Broyles could be a 1st/2nd round pick if he had a few more inches on his frame. Broyles has elite field awareness and can find a soft spot in a zone, can catch any ball he gets his hands on, and has the sideline awareness to get his feet down inbounds. He reminds me a little bit of Wes Welker, nothing extremely flashy, but he's reliable in the slot. Suffered a torn left ACL that cut short his senior season and could keep him out of action until the beginning of the season.
Draft projection: 3rd – 4th round
Other notable WR's: In order of projected draft position
2nd – early 3rd round
A.J. Jenkins, Illinois, 6'0", 190 lbs
Joe Adams, Arkansas, 5'10", 179 lbs
3rd – 4th round
Nick Toon, Wisconsin, 6'2", 215 lbs
Keshawn Martin, Michigan State, 5'11", 188 lbs
Mohamed Sanu, Rutgers, 6'1", 211 lbs
T.Y. Hilton, Florida International, 5'9", 183 lbs

Based in Switzerland I have proven proven track record in growing start-up companies into established market leading positions.
Business Angel
Based in Switzerland I have over 30 years of experience in sales, marketing and management within the telco industry. I'm well connected with the wireless network operator community around the world and a proven track record in growing start-up companies into established market leading positions. I was the principal founder and shareholder and CEO of Swiss Mobility Solutions. With its headquarter in Switzerland and R&D centre in Alicante, the company is a leading developer and provider of smartphone based quality of experience solutions aimed to assess the quality of mobile networks. In March 2014 the company was sold to Gemalto and is today a separate business unit with the Mobile Subscription Services division. At the time of transaction, the company was employing around 40 people and serving around 30 network operators around the world. I was also one of the principal founders and shareholders of SwissQual – a leading provider of telecom test & measurement systems with around 90 employees. Since the start of SwissQual in early 2000 he was in charge of Sales & Marketing. In January 2006 SwissQual was sold to Spirent for over CHF 70m. At the time of the transaction, the company was serving over 50 network operators and equipment vendors throughout the world and had annual revenues in excess of CHF 30m. Immediately before and during the formation of SwissQual in 2000, I was a sales and marketing consultant to Nokia Networks. From 1998 to 2000, I was the Marketing Director at Comfone (a joint venture between Vodafone and Swisscom to provide cellular telephone international roaming services). From 1995 to 1998, I was Head of Sales of the test and measurement business unit (QVoice) at Ascom and between 1990 and 1995, the General Manager at Scientific Development Inc. (SDI), a provider of vehicle location systems. Earlier in my career, I held various positions in planning and sales support, as well as software design, development and in-field implementation at Digitron (a provider of automated material handling solutions. I have also been the chairman of the board of Albis Technologies and an investor and boardmember of Bluenio Limited.

Foreign Minister met her German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Vienna
Vienna, 18 January 2007 - "We shall continue and intensify our proven, close, and trustful cooperation with our German friends in the coming months. The German EU Presidency can count on our full support", said Foreign Minister Ursula Plassnik today following a meeting with her German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
This would particularly apply to the constitution issue. "We share the German Presidency's objective of elaborating a clear roadmap for further procedure by the end of June. After all, we already laid the foundations for this during our own Presidency. Our common goal is to achieve clarity in terms of our legal basis by the European elections in 2009. This is why we now need new incentives. However, in striving for this we should not throw out the baby with the bath water - the forward-looking innovations of the Constitution Treaty should not simply be dismissed out of hand," stated the Foreign Minister.
Plassnik informed the German Foreign Minister about yesterday's trip to Serbia, which took place prior to the Serb elections on 21 January. "We both agreed that it is particularly important at this stage to consolidate Serbia's European alignment. The people of Serbia must be communicated in a credible manner that their country's path to Europe is open. We want Serbia as a partner and a friend, firmly anchored in European structures. Serbia's future - and that of the entire Balkans - lies in a common Europe," emphasised the Foreign Minister. In this context the Foreign Minister referred to the big challenge posed by the Kosovo status negotiations during the coming months.
The talks also focused on recent developments in the Middle East. "The international Middle East Quartet in particular can make an important contribution to reviving the peace process in the region. In our search for a long-term peace solution for the Middle East we must not fail to make use of the new movement in the Israeli-Palestinian relations. I therefore welcome the Quartet's intention to resume its meetings at the beginning of February. I have been proposing such a meeting for a long time and therefore emphatically support the endeavours of the German EU Presidency. The EU's commitment in the Middle East will not weaken," emphasised Plassnik.

If you've left a long history of dead plants in your wake, don't despair. It's still possible to decorate your home or office with appealing plants. Try one of these six houseplants that you'd have to put real effort into destroying.
These aren't the loveliest plants ever, but they're exceptionally hard to kill. Also known as devil's ivy or variegated philodendron, the pothos plant has bright, heart-shaped leaves on vines. It requires very little light and actually enjoys drying out between waterings. Hang it in a basket or plant it in a cute little pot where the vines can drape artfully. Remember to keep the leaves out of reach of pets and children.
Jade plant
Jade plant is a succulent with thick, smooth leaves. It doesn't need to be watered regularly, and you can grow it in anything from full sun to very little sun. Jade plants make a great office plant for your desk. Start out small or purchase a larger jade plant to make a statement in your living room.
Spider plant
Spider plants require a little bit of attention, but they're still very hard to kill. Keep the soil moist and provide a light source. Beyond that, you get out what you put in. Let it grow wild or cut away the baby plants it spawns and transfer them to their own pots. Spider plants look a little old-fashioned, so stick them in a cute, trendy pot.
Ponytail palm
If you're looking for a larger accent plant, the ponytail palm is a great choice that requires infrequent watering. Ponytail palms also come in smaller sizes that can be displayed on a table or large shelf. Remember to water it once in a while and it'll take care of itself.
Snake plant
With tall, striking leaves, the snake plant makes for excellent decor. The snake plant also helps improve the air quality in your home. To keep this plant alive, avoid overwatering. During the winter, you only need to water it once or twice a month.
Lucky bamboo
There's a reason you see little pots of bamboo sold everywhere from the mall to gas stations. It's very easy to maintain, and doesn't even need soil to grow. As long as you keep lucky bamboo near a light source and water it once in a while, it'll thrive. This is a great first plant for a child to maintain in his room.

A Northumberland-based coach company, which appeared in court this week charged with falsifying driver records as part of a conspiracy, has denied the allegations.
Howard Snaith Coach Travel, which is based in Otterburn, runs a number of school and public bus services across the county. Recently Northumberland County Council said that it ran 60 school contracts and six public services.
It is alleged that between June 1, 2010, and May 13, 2013, HJ Snaith and Partners, trading as HJ Snaith, as well as a number of members of staff, knowingly made false driver records in contravention to EC regulations as part of a conspiracy.
Yesterday, the company posted a statement on the Gazette's Facebook page.
It reads: "These allegations are denied, and always have been. We are a very compliant bus operator and our own audits prove that. Our drivers are fully trained and we believe are of the highest quality. We put passenger safety and the safety of the public and our drivers at the very top of our agenda. Our records showing that are open and transparent, and we have nothing to hide. We are being wrongly judged by rumour and all it is doing is damaging our business and putting a lot of jobs at risk. To all of those parents out there whose children we carry; you have our assurance that they are in safe hands. Any concerns or queries, please feel free to contact us via email at firstname.lastname@example.com"
Summonses were issued following an investigation by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA), which brought the prosecution, and the charges relate to tachograph charts, which record drivers' working hours.
All of the accused appeared at Newcastle Magistrates' Court on Tuesday morning, but the nature of the conspiracy charge means that the case must be dealt with at the crown court.

I've pointed out before that I am no fan of Crossfit Headquarters (CFHQ), for many reasons. I think Crossfit has some good fitness ideas, just the people running it leave something to be desired. The latest comes from the the Crossfit Journal entry Roundtable in Tahoe: Outside Domination. Many just plain stupid statement were made at this round table, but Dave Castro takes the bonehead award with this statement about athletes outside of Crossfit trying to compete against Crossfitters:
"None of these guys are going to come in and do well without any CrossFit training. That will never happen," Castro says. "They don't have that mindset to push like CrossFitters do."
Professional athletes don't have the mindset to push themselves? I'm sure many would be surprised they lack the mindset to push themselves, to win Super Bowls, gold medals at the Olympics, or win the World Cup. Yeah Dave, they don't have the mindset you do.
Fun reading some of the comments from the Crossfit Kool-Aid drinkers too.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has advised Pakistani opposition leaders, including former premier Nawaz Sharif, to soften their positions against the government and let the political transition take place smoothly.
The visiting Turkish premier, according to officials in Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), has cautioned parties pushing to dislodge the government that political instability can hurt the interests of the country's international backers ahead of a proposed drawdown from Afghanistan.
The message was conveyed to Nawaz Sharif and the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) leadership at separate meetings with Erdogan on Tuesday.
At least two PML-N officials told The Express Tribune that the Turkish leader asked Nawaz to tone down the movement the party launched to force Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani to step down after his conviction by the Supreme Court in a contempt case last month.
'The message by Erdogan was loud and clear; there should be reconciliation among political groups in Pakistan," a PML-N leader said after the meeting.
None of the three aides of Nawaz—Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, National Assembly Opposition Leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and Senator Ishaq Dar—who assisted the PML-N leaders in talks were available for direct comments.
Sources revealed that the Turkish premier said he wanted to see democracy flourish in Pakistan and it was possible only if political parties exhibited maturity.
It was not immediately known how Nawaz responded to Erdogan's advice but a top leader said things might change slightly after the meeting.
Nawaz called an 'informal' meeting of his party top leaders in Punjab House today (Wednesday) ahead of an anti-government rally in Attock in the afternoon today.
Party spokesperson Senator Mushahidullah Khan, however, denied that the Turkish premier discussed domestic politics in his 45-minute meeting with Sharif in which only a few PML-N leaders participated.
While the PML-N was trying to conceal things, the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) was more explicit to share Erdogan's desire to see stability in Pakistan.
One of the JI leaders who attended the meeting said that the Turkish leader asked the religious group's leaders to calm down their rhetoric for bringing down the government.
"While we do respect Turkish leadership, there are certain decisions we have to take according to our ground realities… and what political course to adopt should be our choice," JI leader Liaquat Baloch said.

Teaching and Learning
This track will provide a strong foundation for internationalizing teaching and learning. By considering the importance of not just what our students know, but what we ask them to do with that knowledge, participants will think deeply about how they can engage their students and teach more deliberately toward globally responsible citizenship. Participants will be introduced to pedagogies, instructional methods, best practices, and innovative means of teaching and assessing international/global learning goals. They will work collaboratively to develop learning experiences for students that achieve specific international learning outcomes. Participants will learn how to design or revise a course such that it is intentionally international in scope. Ultimately, by the end of the institute, participants will have the skills, resources, and knowledge to teach more critically, effectively, and internationally.

There is no proven way to prevent stretch marks.
- When caught early and when they are still reddish, the Intense Pulsed Light or Pulse Dye Laser can be effective.
- Once they turn white or pale, the CoolTouch, Smooth Beam, Affirm, Active FX, or Fraxel can minimize their appearance.

Fast fact for your ass: Legend has it that the spirituous substance known as tequila was believed to help cure impotence and raise the dead. And here we thought it was only good for getting good and soused. We might have to put such myths to the test sometime over the upcoming Cinco de Mayo holiday, as heaven knows there's gonna be enough of golden liquor getting slurped up at the bars, clubs, and restaurants throughout the Valley. It's more than just Patron and Jose Cuervo, however, as any number of Mexican beers and spirits will inevitably be sampled during the annual holiday. Looking for the coolest or closest place to party? Peruse our compilation of some the finest fiestas taking place in town from Friday, April 30, until Wednesday, May 5.

You can easily travel to more distant parts of Prague by public transport too - Prague´s underground station and a tram stop are nearby. There are wonderful shopping opportunities in close proximity too. Whether you prefer a comfortable shopping centre or the High Street with numerous boutiques and shops, it is all within easy reach at Grand Hotel Bohemia. The real pride of the hotel is a conference hall in Neo-Baroque architectural style with a characteristic name Boccaccio. In the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic the hall served as a luxury cabaret for the Prague´s cream of society. If you want to impress your guests and have an event to remember, organize your wedding, party or a conference in our Boccaccio ballroom. Mr. Michal Čermák, the chef of our hotel´s fine dining Franz Josef restaurant, will be in charge of preparing local and international culinary specialities. You may end your day full of experiences with a nice glass of wine or beer in our Café-bar. All the premises of the hotel including the guest rooms have a free Wi-Fi internet access. We offer a parking possibility in a nearby supervised garage for the guests arriving by their own cars. Valet parking service is offered by the hotel.
