Growth Corridors to Agric Profits: Yara, Which Operates in All Seven Continents of the World, Is One of the World's Leading Producers of Mineral Fertilisers. the Norwegian Company, Which Won This Year's African Business Award as the Best Global Business in Africa, Is Dedicated to Not Only Increasing Africa's Agricultural Output, but to Make Farming at All Levels a Profitable Enterprise. Report by Omar Ben Yedder and Anna Rosenberg
Yedder, Omar Ben, Rosenberg, Anna, African Business
Yara traces its history back to the beginning of the last century when the Norwegian conglomerate, Norsk Hydro, was formed by industrialists Sam Eyde, Kristian Birkeland and Marcus Wallenberg. They tapped into Norway's giant hydro-energy resources to produce mineral fertilisers. Norsk Hydro itself has expanded into a vast array of businesses--from fertilisers to oil to metals--and the Yara division, devoted to agricultural-and by-products, was floated on the Oslo Stock Exchange in 2004.
Since then, Yara has been dedicated to making African farming a profitable business, while ensuring that it is carried out in the most sustainable manner. It is assisting farmers to boost their output to produce both a decent livelihood for them and affordable foodstuffs for a rapidly growing population.
"Of all the world's regions, Africa is now the one with the greatest potential to increase yields," Jorgen Haslestad, Yara's chief executive told African Business.
"It certainly has the land area and the manpower to grow crops. Our long-term positive outlook for Africa is also why Yara has a long-standing presence on the continent."
But what exactly needs to be done to achieve this objective? Haslestad says that the key is to align resources in order to make the entire value chain function efficiently. "The farmers need inputs for their production--seeds, fertilisers, etc; at the same time, efficient transport and other infrastructure such as irrigation, storage facilities, knowledge about modern farming techniques, a reliable power supply and so on, must also be in place. The dilemma is that you need it all at once. If one piece is missing or one part of the supply chain doesn't make a profit, then failure is highly likely."
He points out the crucial role that the financial sector plays in Africa's agricultural industry and applauds the work of Equity Bank, Standard Bank, Rabobank and other financial institutions which are all providing vital access to credit for farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs. They are also working with other finance partners to come up with innovative ways to reduce risk--such as introducing weather-based crop micro-insurance for small-scale farmers.
Growth corridors
For its part, Yara has been particularly involved in the development of 'agricultural growth corridors' in Africa, working closely with governments and international organisations. The idea is relatively simple.
Haslestad explains: "Yara's approach is to develop agricultural markets in Africa using this value chain perspective. We then identify those regions where the key resources such as sufficient irrigation and transportation are present; and those regions that are strategically located to serve local and overseas markets, such as having access to deep-water harbours."
"The idea underpinning the agricultural growth corridors," he continues, "is to leverage existing infrastructure networks in order to 'crowd-in' agricultural investment, both from local and international players, along those corridors."
In both Mozambique and Tanzania, where this work has been undertaken, he says, an investment blueprint is being developed. It supports the development of agricultural clusters merging both smaller and larger farm development needs in a positive way along the infrastructure corridors. This significantly improves the potential for those areas to scale up while creating increased opportunities for both on-farm and off-farm employment."
This growth corridor concept has developed along the public-private partnership (PPP) model, an example of this increasingly popular development strategy being used within Africa's agricultural sector. Yara has been encouraging governments and international organisations to partner them in developing these growth corridors, sharing both the challenges and also the successes. …

Black Eagle - shooting multimedia in Poland
As if often the case in the era of multimedia news gathering I was recently despatched to Poland on a whirlwind visit to shoot stills and video . A British armoured Battlegroup have been taking part in war games with the Polish military entitle " Black Eagle" for several weeks and the press had been invited along to coincide with a visit by the CGS General Nick Carter .
We had to be at the army base in Poland bright and early on Friday morning so our only choice was to fly late Thursday night to Berlin and then drive for the border, luckily only a 2 ½ hr drive . Our hotel for the night was literally a truck stop Motel, with a bit of a Swiss chalet style thing going on, but being a 10 minute drive from our rendezvous point the following morning it was bearable .

The Games
Glasgow, I heard plenty over the years and Scots would often reply if I mentioned that I'd visited Edinburgh once in my twenties that Glasgow is a real Scottish city . With the backdrop of the Referendum for Scots independence I travelled up to Scotland's second city on a particularly noisy Virgin train (was on the way back too and I complained), it's tannoy refusing to keep quiet for more than 5 minutes at a time .

Helmand - The End ?
In March I visited Camp Bastion on a media visit for the handover from British to NATO control signalling the beginning of the end for the British military deployment in Afghanistan . I've been visiting Afghanistan since late 2001 when I lived with the mujahideen fighting the Taliban in the West's proxy war post 911 . As the British are due to pull all combat troops out of the country by the end of 2014 any opportunity to witness the final days of the mission had to be taken regardless of the fact that such trips usually equate to poor picture taking opportunities, especially after my experience on a press junket to Basra for the handover in 2009 .

Crisis in Crimea
Earlier this month I travelled to Donestk in eastern Ukraine which was in the process of political upheaval after Putin's recent annexation of Crimea after the Kremlin friendly Ukrainian President was ousted after months of protests in Kiev . The situation was still relatively stable in Donetsk, a city which had seen the worst of the Reich's brutal excesses in WWII, with two thirds of it's population wiped out under German occupation . The elderly Russian speakers who remembered the days of security as members of the old USSR and the young unemployed found comradeship in Lenin Square unified in their aim to once again be joined with Russia under a President who seems hell bent on recreating the greatness of an eastern Empire that probably never really existed in the first place during Communist or Tsarist times by bullying former satellite states into rekindling old alliances .

Iraq 10 Years On
14 March 2013 , Falkland Islands
Before the dust had even begun to settle after the events of 9/11 and the 2001 conflict in Afghanistan, I was despatched to Iraq by the Daily Telegraph to cover the final months of Saddam Hussein's brutal Baathist regime.
Saddam announced an amnesty releasing thousands of prisoners from the notorious Abu Ghraib prison after "winning" a 100% Yes vote in a referendum, hundreds, possibly thousands of Iraq's turned up at the gates of the prison and ultimately forced their way inside the outer perimeter of the jail hoping to find their loved ones being released, it was the first sign that the regime's days were numbered .

A Rich Fantasy Life
a collection of cloisonne images and the stories that created them
de Mary Klein
Since 1995, enamel artist Mary Klein has created imagery of multicultural goddesses. She has used her own image as the core of these cloisonne wall pieces and added her own familiars to each image. This book chronicles these images, their development, techniques used to achieve certain imagery, and how this work has empowered the artist. More than a pretty picture book, descriptions of techniques the artist has used makes this an instruction book for enamel artists as well.
I've been an artist all my life. I like it that way. I also like being able to put my photos of work in a book to share pix, thoughts, with others. When I am not in my studio working, I am playing with my dog, or working in the garden or pursuing some other "do-gooder" task.

Best Coach — Professional (2012)
John Fox
Let's not go nuts here because John Fox led the Donkeys to a .500 record in a crappy division, but he gets credit for not doing what so many coaches in his position would have done: be a stubborn, old, crotchety coach. Rather than try to shove a square peg into a round hole by making Tim Tebow run a traditional NFL offense, Fox played to Tebow's strengths and integrated a read-option that allowed football Jesus to throw less and run more. Now Fox has the exact opposite situation to work with in Peyton Manning. We think he'll be fine.

Enterprise Architect has a way to generate the documentation in HTML/RTF/etc. that you could publish, but you have to use its GUI to do that manually. When you have your *.eap files in a CVS/Subversion server, it would be useful to have a script that would check out daily the latest version and publish it in a web server. As long as I know, EA doesn't have a command line utility for this purpose. I found that you can automate almost anything using its COM interface, but that means it's necessary to write a small program to do that. Any ideas about the easiest/cleanest way to do that (without having to write code, if possible)?
I'm afraid you will need to write some code, but it shouldn't be more than a dozen lines or so. The function you will want to call is Project.RunHTMLReport() - a quick search for "RunHTMLReport" in the EA help file will tell you what parameters it needs, and a search on the Sparx website forum will find you an example or two.
Thanks chimp, It was easier than I thought. In Java:

I have always wondered how people get repeatedly 'fooled' by the exact same person, the exact same way, and manage to have the exact same astonishment and disappointment every single time! And what's even more amazing (and frustrating for that matter) is that they never have a tiny doubt of what was going on until very very late!! The amount of hurt and misery they go through every single time is tremendous, the state of shock is great, the reaction is violent, the 'big' decisions are firm, yet the exact same history repeats itself, over and over!!
(I am of course not referring to love relationships in particular, though they might be included)
Could it be love? A 'good heart'? A 'Spell'?!
(I'd say neither!!)
Assuming that when being crazily in love, one tends to be easily fooled by the sweet words and gestures of his beloved one despite any bitter reality he may be going through, and to positively justify any negative behavior or action from his partner (or son, or friend, etc.). And when things go really wrong, and in the name of their great love or bond, he lives in a great state of denial pretending their relation is stronger and small 'bumps' will go away when "people" cease to intervene or "foreign interventions" cease to exist, or simply when the sky is brighter…
And… Assuming that when one has a 'good heart' and a goodwill he tends to be always positive, fearing to doubt people's intentions and always focusing on the good version of the story. He tends to trust people and believe whatever story they sell him, until he can buy no more…
And… Assuming we're living in a fairy world and that "magic" actually exists, and that when under a spell, one can't really control his behavior and rationalize, for only the wishes of his bewitcher are to be executed…
Assuming all the above, one may (or may not) understand people falling in for other (same) people's bad intentions and actions more than once, but I just can't understand how they manage to be equally shocked, hurt and disappointed every single time!
Any thoughts regarding this mystery/misery?
When You Feel Helpless…
Posted July 19, 2013on:
Interference in other's business and personal life is an invasion of the other's private space.
I Agree.
Watching someone drowning or ruining their life without being able to interfere is an invasion of all rules of humanity, compassion and care.
I Agree.
Tough dilemma!!
Respecting others' "mature" decisions and freedom of making choices and embracing life the way they see it right is characteristic of any decent respectable human being, but it becomes a conscience burden when your ethics, beliefs, and principles contradict with those of the people you care about, and find no way to make a point or impose your opinion where, hypothetically, you have no right to do so. (Assuming you're totally right, but anyway it wouldn't be a dilemma if you were not 100% sure you were right (even if you're not!!))
It is indeed extremely hard to find yourself helpless when you know you can help…
Life is Fair, People are NOT!
Posted April 25, 2013on:
I just can't seem to understand how life is always accused to be unfair when most people seem to be indifferent to all what's happening around them, throwing away every last bit of compassion, solidarity, charity and humanity they ever had, if they had any…
Poverty, sickness and death in absolute are not unfair. Despite their painful nature, they can all be surmounted and dealt with should we have best of all a healthy surrounding. Life is not unfair; what's truly unfair is how people treat "life" in every human they encounter, even the closest to them…
What's unfair is poor kids not being able to go to school because there is not enough space nor enough education in public schools!
What's unfair is poor people dying because they have no cash and no support!
What's unfair is teenage girls being forced to get married to lift some weight off their care takers' shoulders!
What's unfair is kids losing one or both parents only to find they lost all their present and future with them!
What's unfair is 10% of the population having what could have spared the lives and dignities of the other 90%
What is unfair is being indifferent to and totally uninvolved in what could be fair to others!
What is totally unfair is to blame it on life when life should blame it on you!
Think about it!
Shining Success
Posted November 16, 2012on:
There is quite a big difference between being successful and actually shining! As much as success is relative and at many instances subjective, shining can rarely be disputable and is mainly driven and caused by some magical qualities, namely passion, persistence, consistency, enthusiasm, empathy, and kindness …
Shining, in my opinion, is way beyond being just successful. Shining is inspirational, contagious, and energizing. Neither position, nor money, nor phony respect and obedience gained through power can define real success. In fact, true success keeps the person's feet stiff on the ground yet agile when following an opportunity or a dream, his head in the sky yet humbly bent to the achievements of others, his eyes on the horizon yet vividly watching over his surrounding, and his heart as big as the world…
For me, no one can be successful in isolation from his surroundings. I can only be successful through the success of everyone around me, no matter my or their size, power or influence. Success can only be real when it makes its beholder and those surrounding him shine inside out!
In one of his amazing lectures, Benjamin Zander said "I have a definition of success. For me, it's very simple. It's not about wealth and fame and power. It's about how many shining eyes I have around me". I couldn't agree more! I can only feel my worth as a mother, a teacher, a friend or a manager when the eyes of the people around me shine! And there is no way I could do that if my own eyes do not truly shine!

15-year-old Nada Al Dash is celebrating today a valuable heritage embraced by a particularly old building she felt connection with the moment she noticed. All she could see from its cracked walls and weary condition is authenticity and beauty.
Here's a drawing of that building she would like to share with us! Enjoy!
"Human Nature"

A calm yet strong personality, a sharp mind, and a great heart; that's 15-year-old Egyptian Salma Ahmad, one of my special students who never ceased to exceed my expectations, leaving a big mark in my heart and mind!
Tonight, I would like to share with you one of Salma's lovely creations; a poem she wrote this summer about "Human Nature"
Human nature
I marvel how nature could ever find space
For so many strange contrasts in one human face
There's thought and no thought, and there's paleness and bloom
And bustle and sluggishness, pleasure and gloom.
There's weakness, and strength both redundant and vain;
Such strength as, if ever affliction and pain
Could pierce through a temper that's soft to disease,
Would be rational peace—a philosopher's ease.
There's indifference, alike when he fails or succeeds,
And full attention ten times as much as there are needs;
Pride where there's no envy, there's so much of joy;
And mildness, and spirit both forward and coy.
There's freedom, and sometimes a diffident stare
Of shame scarcely seeming to know that she's there,
There's virtue, the title it surely may claim,
Yet wants heaven to know what is to be worthy the name.
This picture from nature may seem to depart,
Yet Man would at once run away with your heart;
And I for five centuries right gladly would be
Such an odd, such a kind happy creature as he.
Painful, but Sweet
Posted August 29, 2012on:
There are times when I feel hurtfully in love with everything and everyone around me. Well, yes, despite being such a beautiful and peaceful feeling, its intensity may break you into pieces. It becomes such a strong and overwhelming feeling that you start losing a good part of your freedom and spontaneity.
These painful but sweet strong emotions may be mixed blessings.
They give you unprecedented, somehow supernatural, powers when your beloved ones are in need or threatened. You may work like never before, fight and challenge the whole world, support and defend wholeheartedly and to the extreme. You love and give unconditionally, sacrifice and dedicate your life with ultimate compassion and devotion. You never give up, never get tired, never feel down. You're always energetic and enthusiastic and in a lot of instances aggressively supportive despite all the exhaustion or challenges you may be experiencing but not consciously admitting…
However, those same strong emotions may weaken you to the extreme and strip you off your strong will and determination. Your fear soars and your adventurous soul drowns. A lot of times, you feel helpless and submissive, anxious and feeble. Loss and separation are your worst enemies; over-protection and emotional instability are your best friends.
Despite their pain and because of their sweetness those deep and strong emotions are so beautiful and healthy should they be balanced and well celebrated. It's so divine to fiercely protect, support and fight for your loved ones and be super strong for them but at the same time surrender to that beautiful feeling and allow yourself some sweet unharmful obsession over them.

Picture: Meryl Streep Curtain call for staged reading of 'Romeo and Juliet' held at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park New York City, USA ...
Meryl Streep, Meg Ryan and Steve Martin were among the stars who turned out to honour the life of celebrated screenwriter and director Nora Ephron in her native New York on Monday (09Jul12).
The beloved writer/filmmaker passed away on 26 June (12) due to complications from acute myeloid leukaemia, and her death prompted many of her fans and collaborators to take to Twitter.com to share their grief.
On Monday dozens of Hollywood's biggest names arrived at the Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center to pay their last respects, and among the crowd of famous faces were the leading ladies of her most famous films Julie & Julia and Sleepless in Seattle - Streep and Ryan.
Also in attendance were Martin, Steven Spielberg, Sally Field, Larry David, Kristin Chenoweth, Jon Hamm and girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt, Matthew Broderick, designer Diane Von Furstenberg, homemaker Martha Stewart, and journalists Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer.
Longtime pals Tom Hanks and director Mike Nichols delivered touching tributes during the ceremony, while guests were handed printed programmes, which included food lover and cook Ephron's recipe for Esther Fein's Brisket.
It was a bittersweet day for Oscar winner Hanks, who turned 56 on Monday.

Gary Clark Jr. got his first guitar for Christmas back when he was just 12 years old and the Austin, Texas native has been playing around his hometown ever since. But with a breakout performance at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in 2010, Clark Jr. netted not only a manager, but a recording deal with Warner Bros.
In the time since Gary Clark Jr.'s 2012 major label debut, Blak And Blu, he's played with Mick Jagger and blues legend B.B. King for the President at the White House, opened for The Rolling Stones, and played with Alicia Keys and The Roots. That album also scored big at his home town Austin Music Awards, winning eight awards, including musician and album of the year.
And with a scorching and gritty blues rock sound -- that frequently draws comparisons to guitar legends like Jimi Hendrix -- Gary Clark Jr. has earned a loyal following and become a star on the rise. He plays an acoustic set live in the Soundcheck studio, and talks with host John Schaefer about growing up in Austin, why he doesn't play a Stratocaster, and the inspiration behind his song "Bright Lights."
For more photos from the session, visit Soundcheck's Tumblr page.
Set List:
The two songs that Gray Clark Jr. performed in Soundcheck are the best performances I have heard of his doing "When My Train Pulls In" and "Bright Light." The later in particular brings the blues out in a way that tears your heart apart. So different from the studio and live band performances, much more direct and powerful. Baker Dan

Anthony joins star-studded ownership

NEW YORK -- New Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross had to be loving the scene: the flashbulbs glittering, the passers-by straining to catch a glimpse, the questions asked and answered in Spanish.
This was the kind of energy Ross sought when he added singer Marc Anthony as a minority owner. The Dolphins held the news conference Tuesday not in Miami but in the media mecca of Manhattan, with the bonus buzz of a cameo by Anthony's wife, Jennifer Lopez.

Why eight for Felix, Hultzen update and a little fun
By Shannon Drayer
Good to be back after a couple of days off. Sorry I missed last night's game; it was definitely one of Felix's better starts against the Angels, a team that has given him trouble in the past. Why didn't he go the distance in this game? He admitted to being a bit tired after his eight innings pitched and put up no fight when taken out of the game. No reason for concern over that, according to Eric Wedge.
"When I went to tell him he was done he acknowledged the fact that he was," Wedge said. "It was good to get him out of there, we didn't have the same issues that we had in the previous start."
Felix experienced some back stiffness in that start in Houston, something he has been dealing with on and off with for some time now. While in past years Felix would often put up a fight when the skipper came to take the ball from him during games, he hasn't done that in well over a year. While complete games are no doubt a huge reward for him, staying healthy for the entire season is a bigger one, and Felix realizes that.
"He's a good communicator," Wedge said. "Sometimes I go down there and I am in between and I am going to see how he reacts. Other times I go down there with my mind made up and still listen, but more times than not we are on the same page. I think he has a good understanding. There are real reasons if I am taking him out of the game."
Of course, a trusted closer in Tom Wilhemsen down in the pen makes the move easier for Wedge to make. I was wondering if this has helped save Felix any innings in the early season but not really. Felix has just thrown 2 1/3 fewer innings through six starts this season than last. His numbers this April are slightly better than last April, striking out two more and walking five fewer. A fairly typical April for Felix. So far so good.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of Danny Hultzen, who was in the clubhouse this morning getting checked out by the trainers. Hultzen was scratched from his start Thursday after not being able to get loose in his warmup. He was diagnosed with a left rotator cuff strain and tendinitis and shut down. Frustrating, yes, but Hultzen was encouraged by what he had been told.
"There's a lot of tendinitis and inflammation but they said it is not worrisome. Just a couple of weeks of rest and then get after it after that," he said.
Hultzen said that he had felt a little stiffness before Thursday's attempted outing but nothing that he couldn't get past. That day, however, as he was doing his long toss, pitching coach Dwight Bernard noticed that he didn't look right and came out to ask if everything was okay.
"I didn't really want to say anything but he shut me down," said Hultzen, who admitted that obviously it was a good decision. "It's a tough one. You need to know the difference between hurting and being injured. All pitchers, their arm doesn't feel good all the time but they need to know the difference between when to say something and when to just go through it. This was one of the times when I should say something."
It was no doubt tough to take himself out as he had been pitching very well. Hultzen appears to have put his command issues behind him, having walked just six batters in his first four outings.
"I think that the second go-around and going through the full season I am a lot more comfortable in knowing what is going on a little bit and that's helped out a lot," he said of the improvement he has shown.
Hultzen is to be shut down for a couple of weeks but will then need to build back up a bit as he can condition but not throw. Hopefully this is just a minor roadblock because as I said, he had been pitching well and had the look of a pitcher that was getting closer to the big leagues.
As Hultzen was talking to the media, Brandon Maurer and Carter Capps were waiting nearby to talk with their former Jackson teammate. The three are still very close and had a lot to talk about. First and foremost Capps and Maurer wanted to know how he checked out from his training room session. Then Capps had something he wanted to show Hultzen: A small case of flies. The three are fishing enthusiasts and Capps is learning to fly fish and no, he does not cast side arm. It was fun to watch the three interact and hopefully something we will see on a regular basis in the near future.
Last bit of fun: Have you caught Charlie Furbush's Bullpen Banter on the Sunday Magazine Show? He is a rather charismatic host to say the least, and gets a great interview out of Capps. Learn why Capps knows so much about pickles, what nicknames he would prefer and what pet he is hoping to acquire soon.

Manbearpig to Beck: No TV for You!
January 3rd, 2013 Leave a comment Go to comments
So you may have heard that the failing TV network "Current TV", owned by Al Gore was up for sale.
Apparently one of the bidders was Glenn Beck's TheBlaze, but was ultimately rejected because "the legacy of who the network goes to is important to us and we are sensitive to networks not aligned with our point of view".
Who is aligned with their view, and subsequently won, you ask? Why Al-Jazeera, of course!
Speaks volumes, eh?

Giulia Lorimer has French and Spanish ancestry, an American mother, a Swiss passport and a childhood spent in Bulgaria. She caught the last Orient Express out of Sofia and later went to the U.S., where she married an American journalist. They came to Italy over 50 years ago and raised their 11 children in a farmhouse in the hills of Florence. For years, the Poggio all'Arrigo house was a meeting place for musicians, poets and artists from all over the world who had come to Italy to find inspiration.
It was during that time that Giulia discovered her passion for Irish music, which led to the founding of the internationally renowned Irish folk music group, Whisky Trail. The group has produced 10 successful albums and has performed all over Italy and Europe. Giulia sat down with The Florentine to talk about how hospitality and creativity joined forces to create an Irish folk band in Tuscany.
After having lived all over the world as a child, how did you end up in Florence?
In 1955 my husband was a journalist and had just finished his degree from Georgetown University and taken the Foreign Service exam. He was going to Rome to study political science, and I was going to join him with our two children after he had gotten settled. When he got to La Sapienza, he went to sign up for classes and they shut the window in his face because it was lunchtime or some such thing. He got annoyed and left—he was a very impulsive man. He came up to Florence where he heard they were looking for writers for a left-wing newspaper. I got a telegram that said: 'No more Rome, but Florence. Get ready.'
We had a rather large farmhouse up in the hills above Florence, and my husband began working in the fields, tending to the land and all it required. At that point we had four children and, being Catholic, we began to feel quite guilty about how big the house and the surroundings were. So we went to talk to a priest and he said, 'If you feel guilty, then open your house to others'. So we did.
Who came to stay? How long did they stay?
Well, we did have rules. Anyone staying with us had to stay at least two weeks. Our first 'temporary' guest was a painter and he stayed for seven years. After that, loads of people started coming and our house turned into a place where you could come and discuss and write and be creative. We had some very well-known people come to stay with us, including the American artist Harry Jackson, who was the first living person to have a work in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. We had poets, writers, musicians and artists from all over the world come to stay.
Is that how the music started?
More or less, yes. We began exchanging music of all kinds, French and Spanish lullabies that my mother had taught me, and other influences from friends and guests throughout the years.
So where did the Irish come in?
The Irish groups were the liveliest, always finding something to sing about and a musical instrument to play. But it really developed after my husband and I took a long trip all over Ireland with Ned O'Gorman, the American poet. We left our (then) five children with my mother and took off in search of our musical roots.
When we got back to Italy we began playing more seriously and in 1975, we formed the group Whisky Trail.
What does the name mean?
The name refers to the path taken by Irish immigrants as they made their way to America. Immigration, along with whiskey (which was a sort of consolation for the difficult condition of being an immigrant), created a type of music that really took off in the States. It can be considered the beginning of 'modern' popular music in the US, where it blended with gospel to create pop.
How were you initially received in Italy?
Wonderfully, even though we were very different from anything else that was going on at that time. We played at festivals all over the country, especially in piazzas during the summer. Nowadays you see people all dancing together in squares and at concerts, but it didn't used to be like that. We were the first musicians to really get people moving together.
When did you start recording?
We started making records right from the beginning. We made our first album in Milan. It was an immediate success. This was during the folk music revival, so we were in demand. We began recording more and more, collaborating with well-known Irish singers and groups like the Chieftains and Sineaid O'Connor.
What has surprised you most about the success of Irish music in Tuscany?
One thing that stands out is being approached by a school in Prato that had incorporated Irish dancing into its gym lessons—that was the first time we saw an example of Irish music in a Tuscan classroom. We were impressed!

The Complete Guide To Calculating Your Net Worth: What Your Net Worth Means
If your net worth is a negative number, your liabilities exceed your assets. If your net worth is positive, your assets are greater than your liabilities. Keep in mind, your net worth figure is a snapshot of your financial situation at this point in time. A positive net worth now does not guarantee it will be so in the future; nor does a negative net worth today mean you are destined for a lifetime of debt.
It is difficult to meaningfully compare your net worth to someone else's. Someone else may have a higher net worth than you, but at what cost? Are they working 80 hours each week and leading an unhealthy and unsatisfying lifestyle (i.e. no exercise, no time with family, etc)? Rather than using your net worth to evaluate where you stand against your peers, use it to track your own progress over time. Just like a marathon runner gunning for her personal best, focus your attention on your own numbers.
Changes Over Time
Your net worth inherently changes over time in response to your income, spending and saving habits. As mentioned previously, ideally your net worth increases as you age as you pay down large debt, build equity in your home and enjoy a salary increase as your career advances. It is not uncommon, however, for your net worth to fluctuate in much the same way as your stock portfolio. The value of your assets changes from day to day – look at the what a volatile housing market can do to home prices – and as a result you can hold the same assets but suffer a drop in value from one net worth statement to the next. You have to set your own goals for where you want to be in one, five, ten or twenty years from now. By evaluating your net worth statements over time, you can tell if you are moving in the right direction, or if some changes are in order.
Lifestyle inflation
Most people will spend more money if they have more money to spend. For instance, when someone is fresh out of college and not earning much money yet, he or she might be getting by on $1,000 a month for an apartment, used car loan, groceries, etc. But when that person moves into a more profitable position, his or her monthly expenses will correspondingly rise. This phenomenon is known as lifestyle inflation, and it can be a problem because even though you might still be paying your bills, you are limiting your ability to build wealth.
A driving force at work here is the keeping-up-with-the-joneses mentality. For example, many people who work at offices where everyone drives BMWs might feel the need to drive a BMW as well. And it's not just cars – expensive homes, vacations, boats, private school tuition – there are endless ways to spend more than we need to or should.
Being aware of lifestyle inflation can help you curb your spending appetite so that, despite the fact that you are earning more money, you can save and build wealth instead of purchasing unnecessary (or extravagant) material objects that don't help your bottom line. Remember, the Joneses are typically servicing a lot of debt over a period of decades. Just because they look "rich" doesn't mean they are.
Personal Wealth Versus Material Wealth
It should be noted that your net worth is the result of your income and spending up until this point in time, and cannot account for your personal happiness or life experiences. A high net worth does not guarantee happiness or personal fulfillment, and a low net worth does not promise discontent. Your net worth statement does not allow you to place a value on your life experiences, which to many people represents a more accurate picture of "wealth" than numbers on a page. While we can acknowledge this limitation, it does not provide an excuse for not managing your finances and not completing a net worth statement. The fact is, even if you are content leading a minimalist lifestyle and prefer to measure wealth in terms of happiness and experiences, you are still going to have to plan for your financial future.

New data published in the American Enterprise Institute–Heritage Foundation China Global Investment Tracker show that China continues to invest heavily around the world. Outward investment excluding bonds stood at $85 billion in 2013 and is likely to reach $100 billion annually by 2015. Energy, metals, and real estate are the prime targets. The United States in particular received a record of more than $14 billion in Chinese investment in 2013. Although China has shown a pattern of focusing on one region for a time then moving on to the next, the United States could prove to be a viable long-term investment location. The economic benefits of this investment flow are notable, but US policymakers (and those in other countries) should consider national security, the treatment of state-owned enterprises, and reciprocity when deciding to encourage or limit future Chinese investment.
The following are among the largest purchases in the United States made by Chinese entities in 2013.

Many large corporations with significant property holdings are doing a poor job of managing, utilizing or even just keeping track of their real estate holdings, and could be spending way too much on things like office buildings, retail space or manufacturing space. That's the finding of a survey conducted by the global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing firm Accenture, which surveyed real estate executives at 181 companies.
Athena Reilly, global lead for Accenture Real Estate Solutions, says that if large companies acted to optimize their real estate portfolios, "they could save anywhere from 5% to 40% of what they are spending on real estate." In many cases, that could be quite a lot of money.
"What we're seeing is that managements are starting to try to centralize property oversight so they can gain more transparency across their portfolio," Reilly says. "The actual management of properties might remain decentralized, but they are trying to centralize the data. They're also getting more interested in analytics."
Reilly predicts that this centralization will make corporate real estate more of a risk management issue, "so treasury and risk departments may have a bigger role in real estate going forward."

Quick Tips on Recognizing Cutaneous Manifestations of Systemic Disease
Journal of the Dermatology Nurses' Association, August 2015
Although many skin manifestations are isolated to a dermatological disorder, some skin manifestations can be related to a deeper, more systemic issue. The skin is related to other body systems and functions. The importance of being able to recognize these dermatological manifestations and associate them with potential systemic disease can be a critical diagnostic tool for the practitioner. Sometimes, these skin manifestations can be the first sign of an internal disease. Although challenging, recognition, prompt diagnosis, and treatment can alter the course of a life-threatening illness.
Erythroderma is a condition caused by several etiologies that result in red inflamed skin on 90% or more of the body surface.

Here is proof that my site is not portable. I had some regex that worked perfectly on my old server. I have now transferred my site to a new server and it doesn't work.
$handle = popen('/usr/bin/python '.YOUTUBEDL.'youtube-dl.py -o '.VIDEOPATH.$fileName.'.flv '.$url.' 2>&1', 'rb');
$progress = fread($handle, 8192);
$pattern = '/(?<percent>[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,2})% of (?<filesize>.+) at/';
///######Does not execute this if - no matches
if(preg_match_all($pattern, $progress, $matches)){
fwrite($fh, $matches[0][0]."\r\n");
The output of the from the shell is something like this and the regex should match filesize and percentage.
[download] 56.8% of 4.40M at 142.40k/s ETA 00:13
The regex worked on the previous server but not this one. Why? How can I debug this?
The difference in the servers is that the previous one was Fedora and its now Centos. Also I specified the shell as /bin/bash.
Is there anything in the PHP.ini that could cause a change in this?
Please help.
The output of $progress is this: (just a small sample)

Update 2
Could that regex fail because of extra spacing in the output?
Also would a different shell make a difference??

A book I like to teach
One of my grad school teachers said that anyone teaching bioethics should adopt Anne Fadiman's The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. Upon arriving at Baylor I took up her suggestion, and I have taught the National Book Critics Circle Award winner twice a year for nearly a decade.

Medicine and What Matters in the End
Not every ailment can be fixed—or should be. Atul Gawande thinks we need to talk about this.
The Modern Practice of Medicine
Eric Cassell reminds us that people experience sickness in profoundly individual ways. Physicians should learn to heal patients even when they cannot cure their diseases.
Sick people long to be touched—the very thing loved ones tend to avoid. In today's mechanized medicine, doctors keep their distance as well.
Medicine, Power, and the Care of the Dying
Jeffrey Bishop is both a physician and a philosopher. Here he turns his clinical and analytical gaze on medicine, and his diagnosis is bleak.
Theological Insight for Christian Ministry
Fred Gaiser offers a sober, accessible review of the biblical materials pertinent to our thinking about healing.
Medicine, Daniel Callahan argues, has become the sustainer of false hope in the face of death and dissolution. Callahan calls for a medicine more modest in its aspirations and more careful in its promises. Giving up the illusion that it can extend life indefinitely for a few, this new medicine would devote itself to making life better for the many.
Manipulating the genetic code
