Content Insider #326 - Experts FadeSocial Media Numbers Don't Matter, People Do Why is it when people are warned not to go into the light they run to the light? It's a lot like that with social media experts - the people who know everything about how to get you followers, likes, Twits. The more you've got the more you want, the more you need because it's what enables you to engage with all those people. Of course most of them expect you to follow them, like them, Tweet/Retweet their stuff as well. And they are all experts! Sure lots of us would like to have huge social media numbers but it's really all about quantity, not quantity. The social media expert may have bigger numbers but you've got people you know, deal with and have credibility with. Tell that to your resident expert and watch him/her fade into the light.

Eggplant Pomodoro Pasta
From EatingWell.com
Diced eggplant turns tender and tasty sautéed with garlic and olive oil. Toss with fresh plum tomatoes, green olives, and capers and you have a simple light summer sauce. We like it over angel hair pasta, but any type of pasta will work. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a mixed green salad.

Eric Knopsnyder
In some ways Sunday was a wonderful day for Johnstown Tomahawks coach Jason Spence.
He got to see his second-year North American Hockey League team play a spirited and fast-paced intersquad game in front of nearly 300 fans at Planet Ice. There was talent all over the ice, which could mean an even better season for the Tomahawks, who made the Robertson Cup playoffs in their inaugural campaign.
But it was also a miserable day for him, as he had to tell about half of those players that they had been cut from the Tomahawks and wouldn't be back for the team's training camp next month.
"It was awful," Spence said. "It was so good and so tough and bad at the same time."
The team did not immediately release its roster, but Spence did say that nearly all of the players from last year's squad that were in camp will return. They include forwards J.B. Baker, Jaycob McCombs, Brandon Reinholz, Zach Wallace and Jordan Watt; defensemen Cody Bentzel, Jake Fairchild, Mitch Hall and Dakoda Menslage; and goalie Colin Brennan.
Forward Jesse Kessler, who was with the team last season, missed camp with an injury but will return for training camp.
The rest of the returnees had to earn their spots, according to Spence.
"I think the veterans had to pull their socks up," he said. "I think they saw the talent level. They know what they have to do."
Two players who spent time with the Tomahawks last season – Joe Bender and Westmont's Corey Schafer – were cut before Sunday's all-star game. Tre Pridgen of the Prospect section of Johnstown also did not make it to Sunday.
Fairchild was impressed by what he saw from his second Tomahawks camp.
"The talent was pretty good," the defenseman said. "We had a good team last year. We know we fell short (in the playoffs). I think they're pretty comparable camps. This year we've got a lot of young guys that look like they've got some good potential. It'll be fun to see how it turns out."
Fairchild squared off against Griffin Leach in one of two fights during the game in which his Red team beat the Blue team 6-3.
"Today was a lot better than the last few days, for me anyway, and for my Red team," Fairchild said. "We worked a lot harder. Guys knew that today was the last day; that they were going to be making cuts, so guys were playing and doing what they had to do to get on the team."
Spence said that he was impressed by Casey Linkenheld, an 18-year-old forward who was the team's top draft pick this spring.
"He had a great game today," Spence said. "He scored a nice goal today. He's a really nice player."
Another player that stood out during camp was Eric Tien, a forward tendered by the team in the spring.
"He was great," Spence said. "I don't want to say it was a surprise, because it wasn't. I know what he can do and he did it. He's a guy that is 20 years old this year and he has to be a leader, because he is. He's a great player and a really, really good person."
Also earning a spot in training camp was Alex Okicki, a 20-year-old goalie who played with Kalamazoo in the NAHL last year.
"We had success last year against Kalamazoo, but it wasn't because he was playing goal," Spence said. "He made so many big stops for them last year. He plays better when he's getting a lot of action."
Players like Linkenheld, Tien and Okicki made Spence's decisions very difficult.
"I think both teams could have played in the North American league last year," Spence said. "You think about how good our team can be (because) we're making one team out of those two."
If that wasn't enough to make it a good day for Spence, he got some more good news in the reports from people around Johnstown about how the players, all of whom are 20 or younger, behaved during the four-day camp.
"I've heard from people that work in the restaurants how polite they've been," Spence said. "I know a lot of people in this town. People are telling me how proud of the boys I should be because of how polite the boys are. It makes you feel good when you know how bad they want to be here."
It also makes him ache for those who can't be here.

Our view: Duluth Children's Museum is doing great, but needs help to reach its goals
Michael Garcia can understand the confusion. Just a little more than a year ago, the Duluth Children's Museum, where he's president and CEO, made a high-profile move from its cramped space in the basement of the Depot downtown to spacious new digs at the Clyde Iron campus in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. That was followed by a first year at Clyde Iron that absolutely brimmed with success and growth.

NPDES Permits in New England
Chelsea River (Creek) Bulk Petroleum Storage Facilities NPDES Permits
EPA and the Massachusetts Department
of Environmental Protection (MADEP) are preparing to reissue National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for seven
bulk petroleum storage facilities located along Chelsea River (Creek)
in Chelsea, Revere and East Boston, Massachusetts to meet the requirements of
the Clean Water Act. The seven terminals and their respective
NPDES permit numbers are:
Chelsea Sandwich, LLC | (MA0003280) |
Gulf Oil Limited Partnership | (MA0001091) |
Global REVCO Terminal, LLC | (MA0003298) |
Global Petroleum Corporation | (MA0003425) |
Global South Terminal, LLC | (MA0000825) |
Irving Oil Terminal - Revere | (MA0001929) |
Sunoco Logistics East Boston Terminal (PDF) (16 pp, 81 K) | (MA0004006) |
EPA has terminated the following NPDES permit, issued in 2005 with the majority of permits above: |
Coastal Oil of New England, Inc. - Chelsea Terminal | (MA0004375) |
The permits seek to address potential adverse impacts to aquatic life, aesthetics, and recreation due to the discharge of stormwater and non-stormwater from these facilities. The permits limit the extent to which petroleum products (e.g., gasoline, ethanol, diesel, kerosene, and fuel oil) or pollutants found in these products come in contact with stormwater during: 1) the unloading or offloading of product at the marine vessel dock; 2) the transfer and storage of product into the bulk storage tanks located within the tank farm; and 3) the off-site distribution of product at the truck loading rack. All of the facilities discharge into Chelsea Creek. However, the Global REVCO Terminal, LLC also discharges to a tributary leading to Sales Creek. Several facilities (i.e., Chelsea Sandwich, LLC, Sunoco Logistics, and Global Petroleum Corporation) also have active groundwater remediation systems whose discharges have been incorporated into their current permits.
The current permits were jointly issued by EPA New England and the MADEP in 2005 and 2006. In addition, a joint public information meeting and public hearing was held for interested members of the community in Chelsea, Massachusetts on April 27, 2005 for six of the current permits and the permit terminated for Coastal Oil of New England, Inc. EPA received a number of written comments on the draft permits during the public comment period which were considered during the finalization of the permits. Summaries of the comments and EPA's responses to comments have been compiled into a document listed below as "Chelsea Creek Fuel Terminals Responses to Comments." Documents for the Sunoco Logistics East Boston Terminal (formerly ConocoPhillips) are also available below.
EPA intends to reissue the draft permits through public notice. During the public notice, EPA will hold a public hearing in the community and will accept written comments from interested persons. EPA responds to comments received during the public notice period in writing.
Further information, including copies of the current permits and key supporting documentation, is available on this web site using the links below. Documents may be downloaded and printed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. Individuals with further questions concerning the final permits may contact: Shauna Little, Industrial NPDES Permits at (617) 918-1989 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Travis Ford's Cowboys started the season 12-1 and looked like a whole new basketball team. But since Big 12 play began they have failed to find the win column. That was until Wednesday night. The Cowboys beat the TCU Horned Frogs pretty good, 63-45.
The Pokes were led by freshman phenom Marcus Smart and Markel Brown with 14-points. La'Bryan Nash added 13.
Oklahoma State shot 52-percent from the field and held TCU to just 38-percent.
The win snapped a two-game losing streak for OSU.
Up next is Bedlam in Norman Saturday afternoon at 2:00pm.
A side note from the game, the Oklahoma State players all wore a ribbon on their uniform with the name Patsy on them. It was in honor of legendary coach Eddie Sutton's wife Patsy who passed away Tuesday in Tulsa.

IAEA Statement After Iran Meeting
8 June 2012
The following is a statement by IAEA Deputy Director General Herman Nackaerts after the meeting:
"As announced by the Director General earlier this week, we met today to discuss the structured approach paper. The Agency team came to the meeting in a constructive spirit with the desire and intention of finalising the paper. We presented a revised draft which addressed Iran's earlier stated concerns. However, there has been no progress and, indeed, Iran raised issues that we have already discussed and added new ones. This is disappointing. A date for a follow-on meeting has yet to be fixed."

Caring for an infant who has colic can be exhausting and stressful, even for experienced parents. Remember to take care of yourself, too. These suggestions may help:
It's also important to recognize your limits. If your baby's crying is causing you to lose control, put the baby in a safe place — such as a crib — and go to another room to collect yourself. If necessary, contact your doctor, a local crisis intervention service or a mental health help line for additional support. These suggestions apply not only to parents but also to any other person who cares for your child.

What is UML—exactly? How is it being used? By whom? Are there many ways to use it, or is there One True Way? Does it apply to embedded and real-time systems? How? Really? How effective has it been? Why are there so many tools? Why do they seem to be so different—even though UML is a standard? What should I look for in a tool? Will using UML change my development process? Make it faster? Or not? Build better quality systems? Or is it all hype? If these, and myriad more, questions bombard you when you think about UML, this class is for you.

Ticket #208 (new defect)
Yaml doesn't parse ISO8601 datetimes if they do not include seconds.
Reported by: | mythmon@… | Owned by: | xi |
Priority: | normal | Component: | pyyaml |
Severity: | normal | Keywords: | |
Cc: |
When YAML sees a ISO8601 date, or a datetime that includes seconds, it returns the right Python objects. But if the datetime only goes out to minutes and doesn't include the seconds, a plain string is returned.
Here is an example from a python interactive session:
>>> yaml.__version__ '3.10 >>> yaml.load('2011-10-24') datetime.date(2011, 10, 24) >>> yaml.load('2011-10-24 12:00:00') datetime.datetime(2011, 10, 24, 12, 0) >>> yaml.load('2011-10-24 12:00') '2011-10-24 12:00'
Change History
comment:1 Changed 2 years ago by py4fun@…
According to the specification ( http://yaml.org/type/timestamp.html) the seconds must be present.
comment:2 Changed 2 years ago by joe.pyyaml@…
The example in the linked page shows a bunch of examples of what should be acceptable.
To quote the spec you linked to:
A timestamp value represents a single point in time. This can be serialized using a subset of the ISO8601 format and the formats proposed by the W3C note on datetime. In addition, a more relaxed format is also supported for enhanced readability, using white space separation.
If the time zone is omitted, the timestamp is assumed to be specified in UTC. The time part may be omitted altogether, resulting in a date format. In such a case, the time part is assumed to be 00:00:00Z (start of day, UTC).
The fact that two items that are both '!!timestamp' return objects of different types that can't be compared is pretty painful.

Clear Channel Communities™ Selects DonorsChoose.org as Inaugural Non-Profit Partner
National Campaign Will Encourage Listeners to Contribute to Innovative, Award-Winning Education Charity that Benefits Local Teachers
Chase to Help Match Listeners' Donations
New York, NY – January 18, 2012 – Clear Channel Communities™, the recently launched community engagement brand of CC Media Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: CCMO) that galvanizes local radio and outdoor resources to educate and inspire residents to make a difference within their own communities, today announced that it has selected DonorsChoose.org, the award-winning non-profit dedicated to funding local teachers' classroom projects, as its first quarter partner.
"Tools for Classrooms," a collaboration between Clear Channel Communities, DonorsChoose.org and Chase, the U.S. consumer and commercial banking business of JPMorgan Chase & Co., is designed to bring attention to the lack of educational resources in classrooms across the country.
Each quarter, Clear Channel Communities will spotlight a leading national non-profit organization that is working to address critical issues and causes primarily in one of four focus areas: family and social impact; health and wellness; education and literacy; and music and arts.
The partnership with DonorsChoose.org reflects Clear Channel's ongoing commitment to support local communities across the country, and builds on the company's work with thousands of non-profits each year through national and local public service campaigns that resonate at the grassroots level. The collaboration with Chase contributes to Clear Channel Communities' goal to conduct integrated cause marketing campaigns that engage listeners and allow them to make an impact in their local community.
The "Tools for Classrooms" effort is a three-month radio campaign that will air nationally on 850 radio stations and reach 238 million monthly U.S. listeners from January 18 through April 8, 2012. A series of more than 300,000 radio spots will feature celebrities and recording artists including Ryan Seacrest, Kelly Clarkson, Chris Daughtry, J.R. Martinez, Pitbull, LMFAO, Gym Class Heroes, Kris Allen and others to encourage listeners to contribute to DonorsChoose.org and learn more about how to address the lack of educational supplies in our nation's public schools.
"I am really excited to partner with other great musicians in an effort to help teachers like my wife in communities all around the country," said Kris Allen, platinum recording artist and 2009 American Idol winner. "I have supported DonorsChoose.org for years and I love that the "Tools for Classrooms" initiative uses the enormous power of Clear Channel's reach to get their listeners involved and to help fund worthy classroom projects in their own neighborhoods."
As part of the campaign, Chase is serving as a major corporate partner in matching donations made by listeners. Chase and other partners will match each donation up to $50, for a total commitment of $250,000.
Approximately 40 percent of classrooms across the U.S. use DonorsChoose.org, an innovative online charity that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need. Public school teachers from every corner of America post specific requests to support their classroom projects, ranging from pencils for a poetry writing unit, to violins for a school recital, to microscope slides for a biology class. Visitors to the website decide which project they would like to support and DonorsChoose.org delivers materials to the school once a project reaches its funding goal. Contributors to DonorsChoose.org receive photos of their selected project taking place, a thank-you letter from the teacher, and a cost report showing how each dollar was spent. Those who donate $50 or more receive hand-written thank you letters from students.
"Our partnership with DonorsChoose.org and Chase enables us to tackle U.S. education by directly addressing the specific needs of classrooms and teachers in local communities across the nation," said Jessica King, Director of Community Engagement for Clear Channel. "This program provides a perfect opportunity to activate Clear Channel's broad reach, shared vision and local presence to benefit the neighborhoods our stations serve every day."
"We are thrilled to team up with Clear Channel Communities and DonorsChoose.org to support this campaign, which is aligned with our larger philanthropic mission to invest in programs that focus on education," said Kimberly B. Davis, President of the JPMorgan Chase Foundation. "Clear Channel's ability to reach millions of people in communities across the U.S. will help bring attention to the importance of a high-quality education, which every child deserves. We are especially proud that this unique collaboration represents the first major matching campaign of its kind for DonorsChoose.org."
JPMorgan Chase has donated more than $180 million to educational programs since 2005, and has donated more than $500 million to nonprofit organizations in the last five years.
"Through our partnership with Clear Channel we will reach millions of people from communities all across the country and encourage them to help teachers who are dedicated to educating kids right in their neighborhood – local teachers, local kids," said Charles Best, CEO of DonorsChoose.org. "Tens of thousands of students from every corner of America will receive essential educational materials, art supplies, sports equipment and more to improve their learning experience because of the generosity of companies like Clear Chanel and Chase."

Now, with the introduction of modern engineered materials and precision manufacturing methods, Baratza has designed the all new Encore grinder incorporating all of the great features and qualities of the Maestro series along with the feedback from users and new materials to make it an even better, quieter, and more efficient coffee grinder with an enhanced range of grind fineness.
Features like a weighted base, 40 individual grind settings, a new 2nd generation gearbox (GB2.0), efficient DC motor, and a combination of electric and gear speed reducers to slow the burr revolutions to 450 RPM keeping the grounds cool and avoiding static build up, make the Encore a wise choice for the at-home Barista. Oh, and the price is still the best in its category for a true burr type espresso grinder that can produce drip grind and French press grind! The Encore is a truly versatile all-around grinder for the coffee lover.
Back to TopBurrs
The Encore is equipped with a new design of durable 40mm conical burrs precision manufactured in Liechtenstein. The burrs are held in place with a precision mounting system to provide a steady platform for accurate grinding. The Encore now grinds fine enough for espresso and is adjustable for all other brewing needs all the way to a coarse French press grind. The new burrs are so efficient that even at the low rotating speed of 450rpm, they grind a typical espresso dose in 7 seconds. The burrs are removable with no tools, making cleaning very easy.
The Encore also features the next generation of gearbox design that along with a redesigned drive shaft and motor mounting plate and bushings incorporates a new drive gear made of 15% glass filled thermo plastic which is quieter than the prior metal gear, wears better and is more shock resistant. This creates a very robust yet quieter grinding performance. The new design includes safety features stopping the grinder and triggering the automatically-resettable thermal cutout if foreign objects enter the burrs.
The high-torque, direct-current motor results in seamless operation; since the burrs are operated at about 450 RPM, heat transfer and static are kept to a minimum. In addition to heat and static reduction, the low RPM lets the grinder remain quiet and unobtrusive. The motor also features an automatically resetting, thermal cut-off switch for safe operation.
Speed Control
With unique speed control, the Encore uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reduction to control the rotation of the burr to 450 RPM. The electronic speed controller is adjustable from 405 to 495 RPM in the event that specific user conditions require modification of the speed. This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs.
Bean Hopper and Grounds Container
This Baratza model has an 8-ounce bean hopper and a 5-ounce anti-static grounds container. Both are tinted to reduce light exposure.
Grinder Adjustments
The Baratza Encore has 40 stepped grind adjustments from fine for espresso to coarse for French Press. Alternating between the different grind settings is easy; simply turn the bean hopper. The grind range is from 250 to 1200 microns.
An innovative burr calibration system ensures that each grinder has the full range of grind. If necessary, the Encore can be user calibrated.
Grinds Left in Grinder
To maximize freshness, the Encore minimizes the ground coffee left in the grinder.

The beans will not pass through my Encore until I get to a minimum of setting 10. I am trying to find my best espresso setting. Anyone else have this problem?techkathy aswered:
Are your beans oily?Randy aswered:
No. I am using Starbucks Espresso beans.techkathy aswered:
Starbucks espresso beans are very oily. The oily surface causes the beans to be slippery. The small auger can not pull the beans in and force them down between the grinder burrs. When the grinder is on a fine setting the burrs are close together. Oily beans will slip out and not grind.Question by Mitchell K.
I've been using this grinder for about five years both to grind espresso and brewed coffee. Then today it suddenly stopped working properly. It's making an uneven, unusual noise, and grinding very finely. The grind isn't dropping into the hopper, but staying in burrs, then finally drops out in...mjackson aswered:
Mitchell, I am sorry about your grinder. It may be a few things such as a broken adjustment collar, needs cleaning or may need a new drive gear. Check here to do a more complete troubleshooting and how to fix it. https://www.baratza.com/troubleshooting/Question by darin h.
I like to make cold brew coffee with a coarse grind. I use a $20.00 krups grinder and the consistency of the coffee grinded is lacking. Would the Baratza give me consistency through out the whole grinded coffee? Would this be overkill and something less expensive would also serve this purpose?mjackson aswered:
Darin, This grinder would certainly be an upgrade and give you a very consistent grind. I would not consider it overkill as it would prove to be a good investment. If You are looking for something less expensive you may want to look at the Capresso Infinity Burr grinder. But I do think the Encore... moreBlog

Hopefully, you have been following this extraordinary series of essays from the New York Times. A young woman, being treated for leukemia, has been writing of her experience in an honest, thoughtful, and absolutely accurate way. This most recent piece may be the best so far (although that is hard to say as many have been marvelous). In it, she talks about her usual style of taking charge, pushing forward, using her strength and wits to "win". She has slowly learned, as have we, that cancer does not really lend itself to a contest. We have the tools that we have--chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, our support system, our own strengthes and determination--but the disease will do what it does. Here is the beginning and then a link. Read it.
There is a dreadful routine to chemotherapy. My life has been synched to a chemotherapy calendar ever since my leukemia diagnosis last year. I have become an expert at predicting when side effects and symptoms will set in. It's a ghoulish monthly party, and the guests always arrive on time: nausea, vomiting, chills, exhaustion, fever, mouth sores, pain, infections and emergency hospitalizations.
Suleika Jaouad writes about her experiences as a young adult with cancer.
Despite the clockwork of these cycles (start chemo, wait for symptoms, get sick, go to the hospital), at the start of every new round I convince myself that the outcome will be different. This time, I am going to be stronger than my treatment. This time, my mind will outwit my body. This time.
But over the past year, after 28 rounds of treatment, not once have I "won" this secret battle with myself.

The fall of Jan Peter Balkenende's first government in October 2002 was followed by a readjustment of the political order. The results of the parliamentary election on 22 January 2003 restored a more familiar political balance. In early spring, avian influenza was found on several Dutch farms, and drastic measures were taken to prevent it from spreading. In March, the Dutch government gave its political support to the invasion of Iraq by the USA and the UK. Later, the government sent troops to help restore security and stability in Iraq. On 30 September 2003, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Air France merged to form a new company. At the end of the year, the country rejoiced in the birth of the first child of Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima.
A new government
The rift within the LPF became obvious when several prominent members seceded and decided to take part in the election on 22 January 2003 as a new party. Even before that, it was clear from the opinion polls that familiar political structures would return, although after Pim Fortuyn's murder things would never be quite the same. Many of the existing parties, as well as some new ones, adopted Fortuyn's views to varying degrees, in the hope of attracting voters.
Once the votes were counted it was clear that the Labour Party (PvdA) had recovered from its defeat the previous year (increasing from 23 seats to 42) and that the LPF had lost heavily (falling from 26 seats to 8). Having won one additional seat (44) the CDA was again the largest party and began lengthy talks with the Labour Party on forming a government. However, these efforts came to nothing because of the parties' differing views on the economic measures to be taken and - as Jan Peter Balkenende himself put it - their lack of chemistry. So when the second Balkenende government took office on 27 May 2003 it was a coalition of the CDA, the VVD and Democrats '66, a small left-liberal party.
Avian flu outbreak
On 28 February 2003, the National Inspection Service for Livestock and Meat reported cases of avian influenza on six farms in the Gelderse Vallei, a region in the central Netherlands that is home to many poultry farms. Mortality among the affected chickens was high. On 1 March the virus was identified as the H7N7 strain, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality announced the measures to be taken. To prevent the spread of the disease, culling began on 5 March, but the virus spread nonetheless to other parts of the country. In total 30.7 million birds were killed during the outbreak.
Political support for the war in Iraq
On 20 March 2003, American and British forces launched military operations against Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq, because of suspicions that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and because Saddam Hussein refused to cooperate with UN weapons inspectors. The Dutch government resolved to lend only political support to the war. At that time there was virtually no support in parliament or among the public for military action.
Dutch troops to Iraq
On 31 June 2003, the Dutch government sent 1,100 troops to Iraq, as part of the international stabilisation force (SFIR). The troops were originally intended to stay for six months to help restore security and stability in the southern province of Al-Muthanna, but in the end they remained for 20 months. During that time the Dutch contingent trained some 2,800 security officers. Two Dutch soldiers were killed.
KLM and Air France merger
On 30 September 2003, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Air France merged to form Air France-KLM, thus ending KLM's long history as an independent airline. Air France precipitated the merger by purchasing €874 million worth of KLM shares. The State of the Netherlands retained 14.1% of the shares, which it will only relinquish when France reduces its own interest in the airline. One of the three supervisory directors of the newly-formed holding company is Dutch.
The airline still uses the names of Air France and KLM. As a result of the merger, KLM joined SkyTeam, an alliance of airlines of which Air France was already a member.
Princess Amalia born
On 7 December 2003, 101 shots were fired in salute in Den Helder, The Hague, Willemstad (Netherlands Antilles) and Oranjestad (Aruba) to greet the birth of Crown Princess Catharina-Amalia Beatrix Carmen Victoria, the daughter of Princess Máxima and Prince Willem-Alexander. Princess Amalia, as she is known, is second in line to the throne after her father and is the Queen's second grandchild.

WFP Activities
WFP Offices
Threats to food security
- Cyclones
- Drought
- Floods
- Locust infestations
- Low sanitary conditions
- Low education levels
In Madagascar, WFP is addressing food security and malnutrition challenges through a development-oriented Country Programme, and a Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation which provides a response to shocks and natural disasters. In 2013, WFP targeted almost one million vulnerable people in remote, food-insecure areas of the south, in cyclone- prone cyclone regions mainly along the eastern coastline, and in the island's urban slum areas.
1) The Country Programme (Development) has three components:
- Support to basic education through a school meals programme. This initiative encourages children to attend school and helps reduce dropout rates, especially during the lean season. School meals have been found to improve students' academic performance while the addition of micro-nutrients helps boost their nutritional status.
- Mitigation of natural disasters and environmental protection through food-for-assets programmes. These activities target those communities which are most exposed to the impacts of climate change and degradation of the environment. Activities focus on reforestation, mitigation of sand dune invasion of agricultural land and the construction of water catchment systems to improve access to water.
- Fight against malnutrition, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. WFP provides supplementary feeding to prevent malnutrition among pregnant and nursing women, and children under the age of two in the south of Madagascar. It also gives nutritional support to tuberculosis and HIV-AIDS patients so they can get the most out of their medical treatment.
2) Protracted Relief and Recovery Operations (Response to natural disasters) This operation addresses the food needs of vulnerable households in disaster-affected areas, mainly in the south and along the eastern coastline. Under it, WFP provides relief assistance to affected communities by means of general food distributions while supporting early recovery through food-for-assets and cash-for-assets programmes. Food-for-assets programmes help disaster-affected communities rebuild their lives and restore their livelihoods while cash transfers enable them to purchase their own commodities where markets conditions are favorable. In this way, farmers are less likely to see their produce at a low price during harvest time and, in cyclone-prone areas, have more food in stock ahead of the cyclone season. Promoting local purchase Since 2009, WFP has implemented a local food purchase policy, mainly in relation to maize and pulses. From 2009 to 2012, the quantity of food commodities purchased by WFP in Madagascar rose from 490 metric tons to 3,500 MT. By promoting the purchase of food from small-holder farmers' associations in the south of the island, WFP seeks to stimulate local agriculture and boost the economy of that region.

This is fun. Gotta do some stretches to get my arm limber! @Rachel, being careful of the flying vinyl. Thanks for the ELP Tom. | |
Sun. 2/21/10 6:29am
Rachel's right. Did you bring the ghostbusters single, for protection? | |
Sun. 2/21/10 6:30am
Tom L:
This is really painful and bringing back awful teenage memories! | |
Sun. 2/21/10 6:31am
I should have thought of this earlier, but it would be the perfect moment to test the marathon cam | |
Sun. 2/21/10 6:32am
Dan, can you give this one an extra smash for the fretless bass? | |

Tom L:
Dan, please promise that if you don't get to play all the awful things everyone sent in that you'll at least destroy them privately. We need that comfort. | |
Sun. 2/21/10 6:47am
fred is right this should be seen | |
Sun. 2/21/10 6:51am
Maybe you could post a picture of all these (now) harmless records before putting them in the dustbin. | |
Sun. 2/21/10 6:58am

OK, photos here: http://twitpic.com/photos/danbodah | |

How convenient that the temperature of his fever fits in with the rhyme scheme :) | |

Enid Coleslaw:
Dan, do you have Jordy's Dur dur d'être bébé! ? You must kill it if you do!!!!! | |
Sun. 2/21/10 7:38am
Didn't remember this sucks as much... | |
Sun. 2/21/10 7:39am
Sorry mates! | |
Sun. 2/21/10 7:41am
Sun. 2/21/10 7:48am

Sun. 2/21/10 7:49am
Tom L:
Thanks so much Dan! Kill this thing! | |
Sun. 2/21/10 7:56am

Sun. 2/21/10 7:58am
@Thomas: Dan posted it at 6:58am | |

REO Speedwagon? | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:10am
damn,i love this song | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:10am
Hate heroic guitar solos! Tom's right, this deserves to fall into oblivion! | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:11am
Tom L:
Henry Townsend is incredibly rare. A copy sold for $2,000 at auction. See http://tinyurl.com/yhhtkp8 | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:15am
Tom L:
@Looms, glad you agree. The "heroic" guitar solo is grotesque. | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:18am
Al H.:
Hahaha, you got Rick Rolled! | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:20am
what a crossover crap ;DDD | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:22am
Dan, could you please speed up and torture this shit, i'm begging you! | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:28am
ACK! Too early on a Sunday morning to get rick-rolled :-P | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:34am
Yes, i insist! Thanks Dan! | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:36am
Rachel Malheure:
Another "it" I'd honestly love to smash is "Last Christmas" - Wham, isn't that an invitaion to smash it?! | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:43am
dan - if i were at a tiffany concert at the mall i would pick boston over blues control. and i like blues control. in fact, i actually like ALL of these records except billy joel and i have no animosity towards him. god is love. love is all! | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:44am
Sincere sympathy, dan. | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:44am
sun araw is cool, man | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:45am
boston is kinda blues decontrol. maximalist to minimalist and sad. the keyboard and guitar textures available to boston are richer and deeper and more loved than the tossed-off hipster nonsense of blues control | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:46am
Bill Mac:
Yo Dan! Too bad you can't purge some of the vinyl I choose to occasionally fall back on in the early hours. I had a few people gang up on me for playing "My Sharona" on Friday night. You should take the hammer to me! Two chords!!!! It's a no brainer! Take it out of it's misery now! You'll make Joe happy and give a certain DJ his cred back! | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:46am
tom scholz works for decades on individual albums. how many albums have blues control put out? maybe we should call them blues quality lack of control. | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:49am
ps: as much as i love that king crimson album, "man with an open heart" is a wretched song, deserving to be eaten by "owner of a lonely heart" in 80's prog darwinism. | |
Sun. 2/21/10 8:52am
Rachel Malheure:
ThnX for the katharsis! | |

THANK YOU! This is so unbelievably ridiculous. | |

jaysus, the best show on the radio suddenly becomes the worst - don't do this again | |
Sun. 2/21/10 3:15pm
Dan B:
OK all, thanks for your comments. Sorry I couldn't keep up with them during the show, but I ended up being much busier than usual this time. It seems like there's definitely another show's worth of suggestions here. Maybe I'll schedule it annually for just after the WFMU record fair (beginning of November)... Also, @Tom L, I don't buy that the Townsend record sold for that ridiculous amount of money, stop pulling my leg! You can hardly even hear it through all that static. Also, who are you numbatwombat, picking at my Blues Control pain? Was it *you* that submitted that one? Though I admit, Blues Lack of Quality Control is a brilliant joke. Finally, I hope you all enjoyed the Ric Astley as much as I did! Cheers! | |
Sun. 2/21/10 5:57pm
doing some wonderful cleaning to your show. love the boston and admittedly, the ll cool j. amazing you guys are smashing at such an early hour! | |
Sun. 2/21/10 11:36pm
dan b - oh no sir! i was just giving you a hard time! i would never give blues control up for destruction! i am probably a bigger boston fan on average, though... i feel you were brave to do this and it certainly got me thinking about what i value and why. that is quite a good thing! nw | |
Fri. 2/26/10 2:21pm
That was a totally enjoyable show. So much fun. Thanks for smashing those cassingles. I actually did like the LL Cool J, but I figured I needed to submit it for the higher purpose of eliminating all evidence of the cassingle format from the planet. The benefit for the many outweighs the benefit for the one. | |
Fri. 2/26/10 9:01pm
I admit though, hearing you smash some of your favorite records was like hearing about Nazi collaborators, who did what they thought they had to do. | |
