Is my backboard defective/broken?
Is it possible for your backboard to wear out and become less bouncy? I feel like the ball barely bounces off the backboard if I throw it at it. I can't throw an alley oop off the backboard because the ball just kinda drops down from the net and i feel like practicing on it will throw off my layups and shots on an actual net. Is there a way to see if it is bouncing correctly?

Re: Is my backboard defective/broken?
Yeah, throw the ball up for an alley oop, if it does not bounce back after 3 attempts, you must set fire to the hoop immediately, otherwise the basketball gods will look ill upon you and may smite your game.

Re: Is my backboard defective/broken?
I've seen what you're talking about. The backboard is probably loose somewhere so it absorbs the shock. If you can get a ratchet and try going back there and tightening all the bolts up.

Re: Is my backboard defective/broken?
If you fail an alley oop twice in a row, drop kick the ball to nowhere and go back inside.

text: Armenia to open embassy in IndonesiaAugust 9, 2012 - 14:14 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - On August 8, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian met with his Indonesian counterpart Marty Natalegawa. Minister Natalegawa stressed the vast potential for development of Armenian-Indonesian relations, noting Indonesia's readiness to give new impetus to the bilateral ties. Minister Nalbandian, in turn, underscored the importance of the agreement reached on development and deepening of multifaceted cooperation with Indonesia. "Three months ago we agreed to take action on deepening and development of bilateral cooperation. We stand ready to open Armenian embassy in Indonesia in the near future to further the ties between the two countries," he said. The Indonesian official, in turn, stressed his country's readiness to contribute to the diplomatic outpost's operation. The parties further reached agreement to intensify political dialogue between the two countries, strengthen cooperation in the framework of international organizations and establish legal framework, as well as take steps aimed at development of trade-economic and scientific-technical cooperation. They discussed a number of regional and international issues, with Armenian minister presenting RA foreign policy priorities, the steps Yerevan takes to establish peace and cooperation in the South Caucasus, as well as the latest developments in Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement. The two ministers further signed an intergovernmental agreement on "Armenia-Indonesian economic, scientific and technical cooperation."

No great surprises initially – Sloaney Ponies in South Kensington, a scrum of Topshop Princesses at Oxford Circus, a straggly assortment of Emos up in Camden. In short, the standard style tribes in their rightful locales. Heading home in Shoreditch, however, things got more interesting. For the uninitiated, London's hipster heartland is an explosion of sartorial individuality where you expect to feel like a frump if you've come out sans Elizabethan ruff or a necklace strung with old cassette tapes.
But spend any time in the area and it's easy to spot that it's populated by a style tribe like just any other – the only difference being that you won't find these uniforms on the high street. Which makes the latest look that the trendies are sporting an intriguing one.
The girl queuing next to me at the bus stop was a model example, although rest assured this is a unisex get-up: smears of brightly coloured face paint beneath each eye; head-band plus Pocahontas-style feather; multiple abstract tattoos and a rag bag assortment of clothes of varying patterns and weaves.
This current East London vogue is called "tribal", apparently, which seems a rather catch-all term for a mish-mash of ancient cultures (presumably it's hard to fit in much world history when you spend an hour planning an outfit each morning). Elsewhere, it's best observed at the hippest end of the celeb spectrum – Ben Goldwasser and his partner in electro duo MGMT Andrew VanWyngarden are big fans of an Aztec print or two.
Could this be the hipsters' oh-so post-modern response to their outing as just another style tribe – taking the idea of a uniformed collective to its most absurd conclusion? Oh dear, and just when you thought the Vice generation couldn't get any more ironic.
What a bunch of plonkers
Is there no end to the pointlessness of Twitter? The most recent example of Twitter-mania is a wave of online wine tastings, during which experts tweet their notes between sips, inviting responses from fellow enthusiasts around the globe.
One such event in London earlier this year managed to topple Obama's inauguration from the top spot of Twitter conversation topics, prompting an attendee to eulogise on "the power of alcohol to bring people together". Drinking alone with your mobile phone or a night at the pub? Tough choice.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The bullpen sessions that are a staple of spring training can seem monotonous. But for John Farrell, they represent an opportunity.
The Red Sox pitching coach, now in his fourth season overseeing the Boston staff, can use this time to work with his pitchers to develop approaches meant to help address any areas in which they might have struggled last year or over a longer period of time. For all pitchers in spring training, Farrell said, the chief goal is a basic one: Prepare for the season. Nothing is more important than the simple act of spring repetitions to build arm strength, regain touch and feel of pitches and thus be in a position to execute when the curtain actually lifts on the regular season.
But a pitching coach is by nature a teacher who is always trying to find ways for his pupils to improve. And so, with each pitcher this spring, Farrell has areas of emphasis that he's hoping his staff members can refine as part of an effort to become even more successful.
Here is a pitcher-by-pitcher primer to what Farrell hopes to see from several members of the Red Sox pitching staff:
Josh Beckett (17-6, 3.86)
Key numbers: Went 2-2 with a 7.22 ERA in April, 12-2 with a 2.17 ERA from May 1 thru Aug. 12, 3-2 with a 6.02 ERA from Aug. 13 thru Oct. 3
Farrell said that one simple element proved pivotal in determining the difference between Beckett's struggles at the beginning and end of the season and his dominant stretch during the middle of the year. That key thus represents the key area of emphasis for Beckett in spring training.
"The one thing we want to do is hammer home maintaining leverage of his fastball down in the zone. And I know that can be very simple, but with him, because of how fluid his delivery is and how he gets his whole body into it, he has a tendency to elevate fastballs that don't have that same downhill plane," said Farrell. "When he's commanding the bottom of the strike zone, his curveball is coming out of the same slot, it's not recognized by the hitter, his changeup has the appropriate action. His [goal] is very simple: maintain a downhill angle. Yeah, there are some mechanical things that will affect that, but that's the main thing."
Jon Lester (15-8, 3.41)
Key numbers: Fell behind to a 1-0 count more often (385 times) than he went to 0-1 count (371).
Opposing hitters after 1-0 count: .269/.359/.415/.774
Opposing hitters after 0-1 count: .206/.243/.297/.540
Farrell said that Lester is simply working on refinement, with the following goals:
"Increasing first pitch strike percentage. Increase the use and effectiveness of his changeup and fastball to his arm side."
The changeup would help Lester with right-handers (.237/.299/.350/.649), though he actually proved more vulnerable against left-handed hitters (.257/.306/.411/.717) in 2009. That explains the interest in using the fastball in with greater comfort to left-handers.
Jon Lackey (11-8, 3.83)
For Lackey and the other newcomers to the Red Sox pitching staff, the most important thing is familiarization. Farrell wants to get an understanding of how his new pitchers so that he can find out how best to help them on the execution of their pitches going forward. And so, Farrell's priority during the spring with Lackey will be to gather information that can be useful come the regular season.
"What we do know so far is that he's very competitive with a straightforward approach to pitching. Loves to compete," said Farrell. "But [the goal] is more getting to see him in game action and then get the feedback from him about what he's feeling to be that other set of eyes."
Daisuke Matsuzaka (4-6, 5.76) and Tim Wakefield (11-5, 4.58)
Key numbers: Matsuzaka and Wakefield were available to make a combined 33 starts in 2009, after making 59 in 2008
Injuries and poor conditioning prevented Matsuzaka from being effective until last September. Wakefield, meanwhile, had an All-Star first half before a bulging disc kept him sidelined for most of the second half. As such, leaving Fort Myers in good health is the clear priority.
"[Health] is the first and more important [goal]," said Farrell. "With both, it's re-establishing their strengths as pitchers. We know what those are, but health certainly allows that to play out."
Farrell did not that Matsuzaka's return to the mound in September was highly encouraging. The 29-year-old was 3-1 with a 2.22 ERA, and perhaps more importantly, he seemed willing to attack with his fastball rather than nibbling with that and other pitches.
"The four or five starts he made," said Farrell, "there was a little bit more of a willingness to attack the strike zone, which was an indication, I believe, of him feeling better physically [and saying], 'Okay, I've got a weapon in my fastball that I can use to attack and set up all my other stuff.'"
Clay Buchholz (7-4, 4.21)
Farrell said that there was "nothing real specific" that Buchholz is looking to accomplish this spring. Interestingly, however, last spring's key project -- the incorporation of the two-seam fastball -- was so successful that the team wants to make sure that Buchholz does not stray too far from the use of the pitch that the sinker was meant to complement.
"We want to be sure that, while his two-seam fastball has become such a weapon, to use a four-seamer enough to gain arm strength and know that the two-seamer is going to work right off of that," said Farrell. "And then, [the second goal is to] continue to gain comfort in his own game awareness. That's game experience, getting yourself into jams and getting out of [them]."
Jonathan Papelbon (1-1, 1.85, 38 saves)
Yes, as Jonathan Papelbon suggested, there is a need to find the feel for his split-finger fastball again. Yet Farrell made clear that the issue is not simply one of finding the feel for the pitch. Rather, he would like to see Papelbon drop the split for a strike, rather than simply using it as a chase pitch to put away opposing hitters.
"The book on him is pretty clear. Go get that fastball," said Farrell. "[The spring project is] being able to throw the split for a higher strike percentage to force the opposition to respect it, rather than seeing some different spin out of his hand and spit on it, knowing it's not a fastball. Every report says all the other stuff is not a strike. It's incorporating a little more of a pitch mix. I'm not saying we'll go from 'X' percentage of a split to 10 times that, but the ones we do throw, we'll throw it for strikes more often rather than a swing-and-miss one where you bury it."
Hideki Okajima (6-0, 3.39)
Key numbers: Right-handers hit .309/.386/.520/.906 against Okajima, while lefties had a line of .167/.217/.250/.467
In 2007, Okajima's numbers against right-handers were even better than those against lefties thanks to the devastating changeup that he featured. In 2008 and 2009, he's been vulnerable to right-handers, to the point where the lineup (rather than the stage of the game) is increasingly dictating the point at which he is used. Thus, though Farrell did not want to go into specifics, he made clear that the left-hander's goal is to become more of an equal-opportunity producer of outs.
Okajima's goal is thus "a little more strategy, a little more thought to attacking righties," said Farrell. "The last three years, he's been such a dominant pitcher against lefties. In each of the past two years, we've seen right-handers handle him a little better, so there's a need to attack right-handed hitters better. How we do that has yet to be determined."
Daniel Bard (2-2, 3.65)
Key numbers: Right-handers hit .200/.265/.280/.545 against Bard, while lefties hit .263/.379/.488/.866 against him
Bard's fastball and slider were both tremendous weapons against right-handers, but left-handers hit him hard. Accordingly, the team would like to see Bard develop his changeup as a means of neutralizing left-handers.
"Incorporate his changeup a little bit more, continue to refine his delivery," Farrell said. "I still see him, as dominant as he can be, as still a work in progress."
Manny Delcarmen (5-2, 4.73)
Key numbers: From 8/19/08 thru 7/28/09, Delcarmen's 1.49 ERA was lowest in the majors. From 7/28/09 thru the end of last year, his 8.59 mark was worst in the majors.
When Manny Delcarmen is effective, he is as valuable as set-up pitcher in the Red Sox bullpen. He gives the team an option to shut down left-handed hitters and to go multiple innings. In a sense, he is like duct tape in the middle innings,
"He, to me, is the biggest key of the camp," said Farrell. "Here's someone who, for two and a half years, was probably one of the top five middle relievers in baseball. We've got to get back to that power base that allows that stuff to play to its potential.
"He's a versatile pitcher and a very good one. He allows the back end to fall in line without being overused, or having to be brought in to finish out the seventh inning, and then say, 'OK, how are we going to get through the eighth and the ninth,'" Farrell explained. "He lengthens out our bullpen. He has the ability to attack right-handers and left-handers equally because of the very good changeup. His ability to throw in. His strength is the glove side of the plate, so he's got that ability to attack lefties. Depending on the makeup of our bullpen, he's somewhat our second left-hander. He's got the ability to finish out an inning and pitch the next. He can go multiple innings, he can strike a guy out and shut the inning down.
"[The focus is on getting] him back to a strong power base in his delivery. Use the fastball to his arm side of the plate a little more in to righties."
Ramon Ramirez (7-4, 2.84)
Key numbers: .220/.308/.315/.623 against right-handers, .244/.342/.452/.794 against lefties
There are, of course, two Ramon Ramirezes in Red Sox camp. Ramon S. Ramirez was with the team in 2009, and proved an impressive power option at times. Ramon A. Ramirez is a newcomer who has great minor-league numbers against righties. Farrell distinguished between the two by uniform number.
Farrell discussed "56" -- holdover Ramon S. Ramirez -- who proved an effective option in the early season against lefties, but eventually became vulnerable to them.
"When his changeup is down where it's got to be, many times left-handed hitters are good low-ball hitters. So it's refining his approach against lefties and getting ahead of them a little bit more consistently," said Farrell.
Farrell suggested that Ramirez will work on attacking left-handed hitters, and a need to throw more first-pitch strikes (after on 0-1 count, opponents hit .183 with a .550 OPS against him; after a 1-0 count, opponents hit .264 with an .824 OPS).

Viewpoint: Other cities should chip in for Railroad Park
- David Sher
- Guest Blogger- Birmingham Business Journal
The big controversy currently is whether the city of Birmingham should fund maintenance for Railroad Park.
I love Railroad Park as do many of you. Almost everyone agrees it has been the catalyst for just about everything good that has happened to Birmingham since it opened.
First there was Railroad Park, then Regions Field, the Rotary Trail and then an unending list of announced projects. When the modern history of Birmingham is written, it will be clear that Railroad Park changed everything.
I can't imagine in my wildest dreams that we would allow it to fail. But what about funding? Who should pay to keep Railroad Park going?
Everyone assumes it should be the city of Birmingham — who else? The city along with many generous supporters built it. They should keep it funded.
That seems logical, but allow me to make an observation based on a recent experience.
I live in Vestavia Hills. Homewood is just down the hill from me.
Homewood just built a magnificent $16 million recreational facility. I called to see about becoming a member?
I was asked, "Do you live in Homewood?" I said I didn't. They said I wasn't eligible for membership. Should I be upset? Should anyone be upset? Maybe not – the facility was built and paid for by Homewood and its residents. However, that's not exactly true since my family spends a great deal of money in Homewood.
Now what would happen if the city of Birmingham required that in order to enjoy Railroad Park or the Birmingham Museum of Art, you had to be a resident of Birmingham? All hell would break loose.
A recent city of Birmingham budget showed that it contributed funds to: Railroad Park, Regions Field, Ruffner Park, McWane Center, Birmingham Museum of Art, Barber Motorsports Park, Birmingham Zoo, Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, Lyric Theatre, Vulcan and Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

Agilent gives $90M in software to Georgia Tech
- Jacques Couret
- Senior Online Editor and Social Engagement Manager- Atlanta Business Chronicle
Georgia Tech landed a $90 million software donation from Santa Clara, Calif.-based Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A).
The donation over three years includes Agilent EDA software, support and training.
In 2012, Georgia Tech dedicated a new laboratory to Agilent after the company made a donation to its School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
"Georgia Tech is among the best research universities in the world, offering the largest, most diverse electrical and computer engineering program in the United States and regularly turning out the largest number of engineers in America," said Steve McLaughlin, chair of Georgia Tech's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. "Maintaining that position requires the best teachers and facilities and, increasingly, key partnerships with companies like Agilent. Thanks to Agilent's support, our students now have access to the industry's leading software and hardware tools."

LMI Aerospace posts record quarterly sales
- Matt Allen
Last year's purchase of D3 Technologies helped LMI Aerospace to record quarterly sales and earnings during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the company reported Tuesday.
Net sales for the quarter ended March 31 nearly doubled to $60.4 million from $32.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007. In the Aerostructures segment, net sales were a record $37.1 million in the first quarter of 2008, up 15.2 percent from $32.2 million in the first quarter of 2007. Sales for the Engineering Services segment, comprised entirely of the operations of D3 Technologies, were $23.3 million. LMI bought San Diego-based D3 Technologies Inc. for $65 million on July 31.
Net income for the first quarter of 2008 more than doubled to $4.5 million, or 40 cents per share, compared to $2.2 million, or 20 cents per share, in the first quarter of 2007.
Three analysts polled by Thomson Financial, on average, estimated earnings of 34 cents per share on revenue of $56.3 million for the quarter.
The company benefited from increased sales of military products, primarily for helicopter programs, and increased production rates on Gulfstream aircraft.
The backlog as of March 31, was $157 million, up from approximately $134 million as of March 31, 2007.
LMI reaffirmed its fiscal 2008 guidance and said it expects sales in 2008 to be between $241 million and $259 million with its Aerostructures segment reporting sales between $162 million and $172 million and its Engineering Services between $79 million and $87 million.
The company did not provide earnings per share guidance but said growth in 2008 will be driven by expected increases in build rates and market share gains in the military segment, the third quarter start of production of the Boeing 767 wing-modification kits and higher tooling revenues.
For the full year, analysts polled by Thomson Financial, on average, estimated earnings of $1.63 per share on revenue of $248.3 million.
St. Charles, Mo.-based LMI Aerospace Inc. (Nasdaq: LMIA) provides design engineering services, structural components, assemblies and kits to the aerospace, defense and technology industries.

The Clockwork Teddy: A Bear Collector's Mystery
by John J. Lamb
by John J. Lamb
I'm a big mystery fan, so I'm always looking for a series I can enjoy. I think this is the 3rd, maybe 4th book in the series. They are a quick easy read. The main character are likable and I love learning new things about collectible teddy bears. Maybe some day I'll be able to afford some of the ones mentioned in the books.

Carlos Boozer suggested on a national cable television show Monday that he still hasn't decided if he'll opt out of the final season of his contract with the Jazz – a statement quite contrary to what he told an ESPN.com reporter back in December.
The two-time NBA All-Star power forward and two-time U.S. Olympian also suggested to interviewer Jim Rome of ESPN's "Jim Rome is Burning" sports talk show that his decision largely will hinge on the Jazz's plans for him.
Boozer has until the end of this month to decide if he'll play out the last year of his current deal in Utah at $12,657,233. or if he'll enter the NBA summer shopping market as an unrestricted free agent.
"I want to make the best decision we can, obviously," Boozer, on set in Los Angeles, said to Rome. "Do my homework, do my due diligence and on June 30th I'll decide either to opt in or opt out."
Boozer previously indicated he was unequivocally planning to opt out.
Asked Monday on TV if he likes it in Salt Lake City and if that's where he wants to be, Boozer reiterated much of what he said at the Jazz's locker cleanout session the day after a first-round playoff series loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
"Yeah," he said. "I mean, obviously, I put the ball in their court. You know, I told them I wanted to be there – and we'll see how they respond, and how they approach me."
Other responses by Boozer, who's already been paid more than $55 million over five seasons by the Jazz, to questions from Rome:
On if it's possible he'll opt out, then re-sign and extend with the Jazz anyway: "Definitely possible. But again, like I said, that's up to them. You know, I think I let everybody know that I wanted to be there – and, at the same time, for me, let's see how they approach me, and then do what's best for me and my family."
On if he thinks the Jazz will offer what he thinks he's worth: "Well, we'll see. I mean, obviously, you know, my agent (Rob Pelinka) has been talking to their GM (general manager Kevin O'Connor), and we'll see what happens. But obviously there's teams out there that are very interested as well, and hopefully they can come to a decision and we'll go from there."
On what his decision will come down to: "Being happy. Just want to be happy. I want to win a championship, and at the same time I want to enjoy it. And this is a good opportunity, in such an insecure economy, to secure myself financially doing something I love to do. I'm very appreciate of that, and to have a chance to do it is very advantageous (for) me. But, at the same time, I want to be happy and enjoy what I do."
On if he could ever see they Jazz winning an NBA title without future basketball hall-of-famers John Stockton and Karl Malone, as they couldn't do it with them: "I think we have a chance to, if they keep everybody around. I think I'm a huge piece of that puzzle. I think (point guard) Deron Williams is a stud basketball player. I think we have great pieces around us that give us an opportunity to win every game we play in. And if that was to so happen, I think we'd have a chance, yeah."
The interview was Boozer's first, nationally or locally, since locker cleanout on April 28.
O'Connor was returning Monday from a scouting trip to Italy and could not be reached for comment.
New Jersey point guard Devin Harris, meanwhile, recently made a case that Boozer should join the Nets. Responding during a interview late last week with New York radio station WFAN 66-AM to a recent New York Post report that Boozer has told confidants he'll play for either Detroit or New Jersey next season, Harris said this: "I definitely hope he picks New Jersey. I think he fits in well with in us. He's, you know, a 4 man, obviously, that can complement (big man) Brook (Lopez) real well. He can run the screen-and-roll. He's a rebounder that we need, and he can also space the floor as well."
There's a catch, however.
Unless Boozer plans to sign for nothing more than mid-level salary-exception money – a multi-year deal starting with an annual salary in the mid-to-high $5 million range – he'd have to get Utah to agree to a sign-and-trade in order to land with the Nets.
And agreeing to mid-level money seems decidedly unlikely, as Boozer already has said publicly – first during his December interview with ESPN.com's Chris Sheridan – that he fully expects a pay raise starting next season.
Detroit, on the other hand, has enough team payroll salary cap space to sign Boozer without having to go the sign-and-trade route.
Still, Harris is hopeful.
"I've kind of played with Boozer a couple of times over the summer, so I know what he's capable of doing," the Nets point told WFAN.
"Obviously, going, playing, against him, he's a talented player – but I think he fits right to what we do."
On a related note, the Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger reported over the weekend that Boozer now lives at least part-time in New Jersey.
One Web site, Nets.com, also reported Boozer was seen in New Jersey with his agent back in early May.
According to the Star-Ledger: "He's obviously comfortable in Jersey – he has a home here, if only to be close to the health care specialists that his son requires."
Boozer's young son, Carmani, has endured a well-chronicled battle with sickle cell anemia that included bone marrow transplant surgery.

The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads.
Yet many barriers remain until we can fully realize the opportunities and benefits from the convergence of machines and devices with Big Data and the cloud, including interoperability, ... Feb. 1, 2015 01:00 PM EST Reads: 3,023 |
By Carmen Gonzalez Wearable devices have come of age. The primary applications of wearables so far have been "the Quantified Self" or the tracking of one's fitness and health status. We propose the evolution of wearables into social and emotional communication devices. Our BE(tm) sensor uses light to visualize the skin conductance response. Our sensors are very inexpensive and can be massively distributed to audiences or groups of any size, in order to gauge reactions to performances, video, or any kind of present...

By Elizabeth White Today, IT is not just a cost center. IT is an enabler and driver of business. With the emergence of the hybrid cloud paradigm, IT now has increasingly more capabilities to create new strategic opportunities for a business. Hybrid cloud allows an organization to utilize multi-tenant public clouds, dedicated private clouds, bare metal hosting, and the associated support and services for the right use cases through an on-demand, XaaS model. This model of IT creates tremendous opportunities for busi... Feb. 1, 2015 01:00 PM EST Reads: 1,694 |

The international community is increasingly focused on political economy to determine the feasibility of pro-poor policies in developing countries. Consequently, more than a dozen donor agencies have developed political economy analysis tools to identify, for example, institutional bottlenecks and barriers to collective action. However, the impact of these tools in shifting donor priorities or influencing development policy research over the last decade remains unclear. How similar and different are these multiple political economy tools? How well are these methods mainstreamed across donor agencies and applied by researchers and practitioners working on agriculture, food security, and rural development? What are the lessons learned regarding development strategy policy processes and how can rigorous, empirical research align with political realities on the ground?

Malnutrition, in all of its manifestations–undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, overnutrition--is placing an intolerable burden on individuals and communities, as well as on the cultural, social, economic, and health fabric of nations. The statistics underscore this burden: 805 million people suffer chronically from hunger and stunting affects 161 million children under five years of age.
Jomo Kwame Sundaram, Assistant Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and other distinguished representatives from government and civil society will highlight recent outcomes from the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), convened by the FAO and the World Health Organization (WHO) last November. Along with ICN2, the Scaling Up Nutrition Movement, the Global Panel on Agriculture and Nutrition, the USAID Global Nutrition Strategy, and the release of the first Global Nutrition Report have all helped mobilize world attention on nutrition. We now face the challenge of meeting rapidly rising expectations.
The policy dialogue seeks to accelerate progress on the new nutrition agenda. Participants will identify concrete actions taken so far as leaders mobilize around nutrition as central aspect of the Zero Hunger Challenge and draw attention to efforts still needed to make safe and nutritious food a reality for all.

Hidden hunger is the central theme of the 2014 Global Hunger Index (GHI), published by the International Food Policy Research Institute, Concern Worldwide, and Welthungerhilfe. For the ninth straight year of calculating the Index, global hunger has improved overall, falling by 39 percent since 1990. Meanwhile, 26 countries have cut their GHI scores by more than half during this period.

Read 2014 Global Hunger Index report
Yet much remains in the fight to end global hunger. An estimated 805 million people go hungry every day because they don't get enough to eat; and this number swells to an astonishing 2 billion when we include those also suffering from 'hidden hunger' – deficiencies in micronutrients that are often harder to detect but devastating in their impact. Research shows that such deficiencies can lead to child and maternal death, physical disabilities, weakened immune systems, and compromised intellectual capacity. Hidden hunger also holds countries back in a cycle of poor nutrition, poor health, lost productivity, poverty, and reduced economic growth.
Please join in an online discussion on the state of hunger and hidden hunger in the world and what can be done to ramp up global efforts to ensure food and nutrition security for all. Experts from IFPRI, Concern Worldwide, and Welthungerhilfe will share key insights and research findings from the 2014 GHI report and also answer questions from online participants via Twitter. The following questions will be used to guide discussion during the 1-hour Twitter chat:
- What are the key differences between #GHI2014 & other #hunger related indexes?
- What's one positive trend you'd like to highlight from this year's Global Hunger Index? #GHI2014
