Stolen Harvest: Occupation and Palestinian Olive Trees
Olives and olive oil are fundamental to Palestinian history, economy, subsistence, and culture. Olive trees symbolize Palestinian steadfastness and are deeply valued for their ability to thrive and send down deep roots in land where water is hard to come by. Many olive trees are thousands of years old and yet continue to produce olives. A worldwide symbol of peace, olive trees themselves have come under vicious attack by Israeli soldiers and settlers.
This fact sheet highlights the impact of the occupation, settlements and the Separation Wall on olive trees, olive harvests and Palestinian society, including:
Women are the Backbone of Haiti's Economy
By Mina Remy
April 23rd, 2014
Women, and rural women in particular, are the backbone of Haiti and its economy. They farm, harvest, and transport their produce to local markets where they in turn sell it. They do all of this despite little-to-no support from the government and without the necessary agricultural infrastructure to ease their burden.

New Farm Bill Leaves Many Families and Farmers Out in the Cold
The new version of the Farm Bill passed by Congress on February 4, 2014, and signed by President Obama three days later leaves several critical programs around nutrition and programs to support family farmers underfunded. The legislation is problematic on many levels, starting with the three below.
Life, Death and Bravery in Central America
By Barbara Polk
January 27th, 2014
Barbara Polk traveled with other Grassroots International supporters to Honduras and Guatemala in the fall of 2013. The article below provides an overview of the trip and her experiences.
Today's peasant movement – sophisticated, threatened, and our best hope for survival
The term peasant often conjures up images of medieval serfs out of touch with the ways of the world around them. Such thinking is out of date. Today, peasants proudly and powerfully put forward effective strategies to feed the planet and limit the damages wrought by industrial agriculture. What's more, they understand the connections between complex trade and economic systems, champion the rights of women, and even stand up for the rights of gay men and lesbians.
These are not your great ancestors' peasants.
Recovery in Gaza After Winter Storm Alexa
The occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) faced one of the worst winter storms seen in decades last month. The West Bank experienced record snow fall, which municipalities were ill-equipped to handle. While Gaza was spared much of the snow, the Strip received a devastating wintry mix of freezing rain, strong winds, and bitter cold that paralyzed an area considered a humanitarian crisis long before the storm.
Celebrating 20 years of the Zapatista Uprising for autonomy and self-determination!
On New Year's Day, 20 years ago, a group of indigenous peoples, known as the Zapatistas, occupied several municipalities of the state of Chiapas, Mexico. Not coincidentally, that same day the North American Free Trade Agreement went into effect. The Zapatistas considered the free trade agreement and the neoliberal political system that spawned it to be a death sentence for indigenous peoples in Mexico. The magnitude of the Zapatista uprising was due to the participation of different indigenous groups which joined forces to change a system that was marginalizing and exploiting them.
Advances on the Journey to Food Sovereignty and Human Rights
This last year has seen many advances around the globe for communities and activists pushing to regain their fundamental human rights to land, water, and food. As we now approach the end of 2013, we take this opportunity a look back at some of the accomplishments that have marked the year. In spite of the great challenges—and seemingly insurmountable odds—there is much to celebrate. Below are some of many highlights from the last year.
Winning land for formerly landless farmers in Brazil
If Farming Is Hard, Free Trade Makes It Harder
Being a farmer is hard. This is true no matter what policies exist. The work itself is difficult, and making money from farming requires many, many factors to line up just right. Get too much rain, too dry a season, too many bugs and the crop can be destroyed. Prices might be higher, but there's just not that much to sell. Even a big harvest when everything goes well doesn't guarantee success. A bumper crop means that there are a whole lot of tomatoes, corn, peaches, or eggplants at the market, so prices go down.

Does it ever really get hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk? What's the best way of preventing soda from going flat? Does belching contribute to global warming? You've got questions; Robert Wolke has answers.
Wolke, a chemistry professor emeritus and winner of several food journalism awards, dishes out funny and scientific answers to common questions in this collection of his best "Food 101" columns in The Washington Post. Who says food science can't be fun?
Here's a sample of Wolke's approach:
- Do microwaves change the molecular structure of foods? Answer: "Yes, of course they do. The process is called cooking."
- If corn is a low-fat food, how do they get all that corn oil out of it? Answer: "They use a lot of corn."
- Why do recipes tell us to marinate dishes overnight? Answer: "I'm with you. Why overnight? Are we to believe that daylight somehow interferes with the marinating process? Generally, 'overnight' is intended to mean eight to ten hours."

William Murray, chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition and founder of the Government Is Not God PAC, was a guest on Gordon Klingenschmitt's "Pray In Jesus Name" program today, where he was asked to share his "expertise" on last week's terrorist attacks in Paris. As Murray explained it, such attacks should not come as a surprise since France and Europe as a whole have been "overrun" by Muslims because European women are too selfish and short-sighted to dedicate their lives to having children.

At Saturday's Awakening conference, an annual Religious Right confab organized by Liberty Counsel, the mood surrounding LGBT rights had reached full-blown panic. Nearly two years after the Supreme Court's Windsor decision let loose a cascade of federal court decisions legalizing marriage between same-sex couples in dozens of states, the Religious Right activists gathered in a megachurch in Orlando were bracing for a Supreme Court decision that could establish marriage equality nationwide. At a panel titled "Activism in the Age of Lawlessness," four Religious Right... MORE >

William Murray, the Religious Right activist and son of American Atheists founder Madalyn Murray O'Hair, is joining in the chorus of sympathy for Vladimir Putin, hailing the Russian leader in a WorldNetDaily column today as a bulwark against the increasingly Marxist and secular West. Murray praises Russia for its "flat tax that encourages growth" — which he contrasts with "our president's Soviet-style" economics — and policies to ensure that "individual achievement is honored and prayer and Bible instruction are welcomed in the classrooms...

William Murray, head of the Religious Freedom Coalition and Government Is Not God PAC, writes in WorldNetDaily today that President Obama and the media have a "hatred for Russia" because "morally and spiritually, Russia today is the nation America was in the 1950s." He cites Russia's harsh anti-abortion laws, ban on gays in the military, the influence of the Russian Orthodox Church in government, and flat tax. Why do President Obama and the Western media have such hatred for Russia? What is all the Russia bashing really about? In Russia the clergy are allowed... MORE >

As the HIV/AIDS Alliance notes, the prevalence of HIV is especially high "among sex workers, transgender people, and men who have sex with men."

The newest thing is now since November 2012, we have different People from the Maintenance Department show up and wanting to inspect the House. I am refusing until I get a propper Notification to inspect and yes, I have called the Office and complaint to the Ladies there. Just this month alone we had 3 different attempts that someone stands at the Door and demands to come in and threatens legal action and eviction if we do not let them in this moment. Today was topped by yet another person with a Key to get into the House. My pregnant Daughter was home and just had laid down, when she heard the Dogs bark and going nuts at the Front-door, so she got up, just to see that the Door handle was being moved and she started calling me. I told her to get out thru the Side-door in the Garage, the Dogs will take care of the people entering and to call the Police. Once outside, she found out, that it was Metropolitan again, trying to inspect the house. As I am writing this, I am so over this Management Company and ready to break our lease, as soon as this Baby is born, what can happen at any moment now and find a nice house that we will purchase outright instead of a lease purchase. We have contacted the Owner and asked, if he would consider a early purchase of the home, before our lease in Feb 2014 ends, however, we are still waiting on a response from him....

A few notes from around the boxing world:
• Super middleweight contender George Groves (21-3, 16 KOs), 27, of England, is on the comeback trail. He will headline a Matchroom Boxing and Team Sauerland card at the Copper Box in London, his hometown, on Jan. 30. No opponent was announced for Groves, who has lost three shots at 168-pound world titles -- twice by knockout to countryman Carl Froch and by split decision to Badou Jack on Sept. 12 in Las Vegas on the Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto undercard.
"It's great to be back," Groves said. "I'm looking forward to boxing in London again. This is a chance for me start the New Year on the front foot. I want to get as many fights as possible and start building momentum as I look to work my way back into world title contention."
• Showtime announced that it would have coverage of undercard bouts from the Dec. 5 Daniel Jacobs-Peter Quillin undercard at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, on Showtime Extreme beginning at 7 p.m. ET/PT. There will be at least two bouts on the Showtime Extreme coverage: a 10-round welterweight bout between former junior welterweight titlist Chris Algieri (20-2, 8 KOs) and Erick Bone (16-2, 8 KOs) and an eight-round light heavyweight fight between 2012 U.S. Olympian Marcus Browne (16-0, 12 KOs) and Francisco Sierra (27-9-1, 24 KOs). The main card, on which Jacobs (30-1, 27 KOs) defends his middleweight belt against Quillin (32-0-1, 23 KOs) in an all-Brooklyn battle and featherweight titlist Jesus Cuellar (27-1, 21 KOs) defends against Jonathan Oquendo (26-4, 16 KOs), begins at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Showtime.
Vincent Feigenbutz (21-1, 19 KOs), 20, of Germany, will defend his interim junior middleweight belt in a rematch against Giovanni De Carolis (23-6, 11 KOs), 31, of Italy, on Jan. 9 at the Baden Arena in Offenburg, Germany, Team Sauerland announced on Monday. On Oct. 17, Feigenbutz suffered a first-round knockdown and went on to win a razor-close unanimous decision against De Carolis. "I wasn't happy with my performance in our first fight," Feigenbutz said. "Things went wrong, and I did not give a full account of myself. I offered Giovanni a direct rematch immediately after the fight, and I have stayed true to my word. This time, I will prove once and for all that I'm the better boxer, and there will be no question over the result."

Dodd May Not Move on Fed Nominee Kroszner
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd (D., Conn.), suggested Friday that he might not bring a vote on the renomination of Federal Reserve Governor Randall Kroszner, a leading figure in the central bank's effort to overhaul its mortgage regulation.
Kroszner's term at the Fed expires Jan. 31, and the White House nominated the former academic to a 14-year term that would run through 2022.
"There's one nomination here that would be for somebody [for] 14 years," Dodd told reporters on a conference call. "We're frankly getting down to less than a year away from the [November 2008] election. On nominations of that length, I'm fairly reluctant."
Kroszner is one of five members of the Fed's board, which currently has two empty seats.
The White House has also nominated Larry Klane of Capital One Financial Corp., and Elizabeth Duke of Towne Bank to fill two open seats on the Fed's Board of Governors. Dodd declined to offer his thoughts on any of the nominees.
"I'm not going to get into that at this point," Dodd said. "Let the paperwork come up. Let them complete their part of the process…That way it's a formal nomination." – Damian Paletta

You want fries with that?
AUTHOR: Absolute_Mellow - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 10, 2012POSTED: Friday, August 10, 2012
The person you spoke with is probably a service advisor. He knows less about your vehicle than the man on the moon. That doesn't mean he isn't a professional. It means he has to pass your complaint onto the mechanic. In return, he must pass the diagnosis from the mechanic onto you. Most service advisors are very professional and do an excellent job of relaying this information.
I have been in the auto repair business since 1978. Some of that time was spent as a shop owner. From your complaint, I get the idea the mechanic hadn't looked at your car and basically "blew smoke up the service advisor's behind". The advisor probably believed the dash did indeed need to become disassembled in order to fix the lighter. Furthermore, he probably suggested if she has the dash fixed, he would fix the tire too.
This is inexcusable behavior. Since you clearly have the address of the shop, I suggest you write a letter to the shop owner explaining what happened. Try not to sound as if you feel you were ripped off. Instead, sound as if you were confused by the conflicting information. Furthermore, let them know you are uncomfortable with having anymore work done there. Also, let them know you are unlikely to referre the shop to friends.
Finally I have to ask, what brought you to that shop? An ad? Friends? Whatever it is, make it clear you will make sure and let them know what happened.
Written letters go a long way.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Units - Unit Converter for your iPhone
By crossroad solutions
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Units is a simple, yet elegantly designed unit converter that looks and works a lot like a calculator. You punch in digits and Units does the conversion on the fly. Its streamlined interface has been designed for day to day use with a primary focus on speed. Speed in changing categories and units, speed in calculating the conversions. And new in version 2, simply type the first few letters of each unit (e.g Pou to Ou for Pounds to Ounces) and Units provides you with the most relevant options.
Units remembers the last used conversion settings for each category. Combinations that you use often can be saved as Shortcuts for quick access later.
Currency exchange rates are updated once a day from our server, but you can also do a manual fetch when you want to.
- Supports most common units, and a few specialized conversions
- Go green: Calculate the Carbon Dioxide emissions of your car
- Built-in calculator saves you the trouble of switching between apps
- Press and hold the '.' button to enter fractions and mixed units such as 3ft 2 3/4in
(only for units that allow mixed notation)
- Save often-used combinations as shortcuts for quick and painless access later
- Currency exchange rates are automatically downloaded once a day
- Rotate device to compare values across units
- Copy and paste values between apps
What's New in Version 2.0
Meet the new Units. Same as the old Units. Not.
Units was released just a week after the launch of the App Store, back in 2008. And after 5 years we have yet another major update for you. All for free. Naturally.
This might be version 2.0, but it's really a new app under the hood, with completely rewritten guts. Even the interface has gone under the knife for some serious nip and tuck. Our lead developer yelled and screamed for a pay raise. But you know how it is in small teams, there is always the issue of convincing the Accounts Dept. … unfortunately headed by the same person.
At first, you will notice a lot missing in this release. Gone are the mode buttons, settings screens and the three configurable shortcuts buttons. Simply pull down the keyboard to select any mode and units you want and you are good to go. 3 taps. Or choose from your own carefully curated list of shortcuts. 2 taps. Or use the brand new search function and skip the scrolling altogether. Power to you, sir.
What about settings? Gone. No more flipping back and forth each time you want to filter your lists, or force a currency update. We just integrated the main functions of the settings screen right where you might need them the most.
What else did we do besides getting rid of stuff? Well, there was one little feature we did manage to sneak in by trashing all those buttons. There's now a fully functional calculator built right in. You could probably find a use or two for that.
Hope you like Units 2.0 because it'll certainly like you. And faithfully keep serving your conversion needs till kingdom come. Because this little unit converter simply won't die.
Here are the changes in detail:
- finally, an integrated calculator, so you don't have to leave Units for quick and simple calculations during your conversions.
- simplified interface now makes it even faster to select modes and units.
- create as many shortcuts as you need, not just 3.
- search for units to convert instead of having to navigate through lists
- settings have been integrated into the app and you can now filter, reorder modes and units much more easily.
- added Acre-Feet, Acre-Inches to Volume.
- added Acre-feet per year to Volumetric flow
- fixed conversion errors for Therms in Energy mode
- optimized for iOS 6 and 4" devices
- minor bug fixes and major user interface improvements.

All-rounder Chris Woakes hopes to force his way into England's Test team in time for next year's third Ashes match at Old Trafford after starring with the bat for the Lions on day two of the unofficial four-day Test against Australia A at the same venue.
It is 51 weeks until the Test begins in Manchester. With this fixture being played on the Test wicket, it is a dress rehearsal for Old Trafford as well as Warwickshire's Woakes, who underpinned England's first innings score of 315 with an excellent 92 from number seven in the order before tea on day two.
Woakes hit his third first-class century of 2012 to take him beyond 400 runs and post an impressive average of 88.6. He arrived at the crease with the Lions on 142 for five and helped them recover from 223 for seven by marshalling the tail. "I'm obviously aspiring to play Test cricket for England, so fingers crossed it's not the last time I play at Old Trafford," admitted the 23-year-old.
"Hopefully next time it's in a Test match. When I first went in, it was quite tricky and offering a bit for everyone. There was turn and bounce for the spinners, but it seems to have died a bit as the day's gone on.
"My batting's something that I work hard on. It's got better the more I've played, the more I've matured as a cricketer. My bowling's been more natural to me since I started the game but the more I've worked at my batting over the last few years I feel like I've improved."
Woakes performed against an attack including current Test off-spinner Nathan Lyon and left-arm swing bowler Mitchell Johnson, who is returning from a lengthy injury lay-off.
Johnson led the way for the tourists with figures of four for 47 from 26.1 overs before his skipper Ed Cowan underpinned a strong reply of 127 for one at close with 77 not out.
"It's nice to score runs against international quality bowlers," said Woakes.
"Johnson's been there and done it at the highest level even though he's not in their team at the minute. It definitely gives you confidence that you have scored runs against those guys.
"It felt like he hit his straps well. On the first morning he did that too. He didn't give any freebies. He found a good line, took the ball away from the right-handers and was hard to score off."

Sam Winnall's early header put the Iron in front before Andrew Hughes' second-half equaliser saw Brian Laws' side throw away a lead for the third time in as many games.
Burton praised his side's first-half performance but insisted the team must learn from their mistakes.
He told the club's official website: "I think that we started brightly, and we played some really good football in the first half.
"I think that that was one of the best first-half performances of the season so far, and unfortunately, we just didn't carry that on in the second half.
"They changed their formation a little bit, and dropped back their centre-midfielder on to me to stop me winning the headers.
"It was a disappointing second half, but there are lots of positives to take.
"I think we just stopped doing the things that got us into the good positions but that's something which we can only learn from."

Keep It Real Lyrics by MC Ren
Keep It Real by MC Ren
That real shit nigga'
Living room packed, laid back on the flow
Niggaz can't see me on the madden with frisco
I'm runnin' fools straight to the dirt
While my man train talkin' on the phone, the evil curse
Niggaz waste gas drivin' down the same streets
And hood rats wishin' for the passenger seats
Flag 'em down, like they flaggin' down to get a taxi
Too good to ride a bus, drinkin' is a must
Another day kickin' back, the scientist is hard at work
Thinkin' how to get paid, kickin' back in the shade
Or call will and temple where my homie down by zeenie
With the bald head it's too hot for the beanie
Sittin' on the porch niggaz run the stop sign
Hookers sell they bodies 'round the way ain't hard to find
Right in the corner of mcdonald's parkin' lot
Peepin' out their hair 'cause that spot is hot
And that's real
Nigga gotta keep my shit real
Lettin' punk niggaz know how the fuck I feel
Pussy ass niggaz always wanna be around
A nigga like ren when I put that real shit down
Randy up the street cuttin' up the fresh fade
And compton p.d. around the corner 'bout to raid
The yellow helicopter hangin' 'round like a gnat
And hood rats yellin' out a car where the party at
My robbin' train go and get a duce
And niggaz 'round the way don't give a damn about a gang truce
But I gotta lotta love for my people
And like they ain't tryin', niggaz just keep dyin'
I won't be like most niggaz and just come
And shoot my video in compton and disappear for a year
We make fools like that shake the spot
One for the treble jack yo ass in the parkin' lot
'cause handkerchief headed niggaz come around fakin'
Braggin' 'bout that money they be makin'
Boot lickin' butt dancin' niggaz just better chill
Before I tell 'em how I feel and that's real
Yeah, uh, break it down
All y'all busta ass niggaz
Do it like this, 1995
Uh, yeah, come all y'all fake ass niggaz to this
Goin' to the pad hit the beach up on the pager
Here comes korleone up the street in the mini-blazer
While the dominoes start to get shakin'
The same time that the barbique start bakin'
I don't eat swine, but I take a turkey burger
I can't fade worms, that books' full of terms
Homies pass by, some stop and conversate
On a gang a topics we start to debate
On why in black neighborhoods is always towed down
And white neighborhoods ain't one piece a trash 'round
So we gotta do for self and quit bitchin'
Recycle black dollars so we can roll impalas
Every street got their own rap artist
On every cover every brother got a gun tryin' to look the hardest
But some deserve a slap 'cause they laid down they strap
When they hear that's a rap and that's real

What materials did you use? Multi-colored Kunzite rounds, Multi-colored Jade cubes, 4 mm S/P round spacers, unique flower lobster clasp.
What are you most proud of? I like to combine shapes and colors and this necklace did it all. The Kunzite beads had such a high polish and combined especially well with the softer-polish on the Jade cubes. The unusually chunky lobster clasp just completed the picture. I made it for a charity auction.

Next to serving our nation in the United States Navy for nearly 22 years, representing the citizens of the Indian Wells Valley and Rand Communities for the past 16 years has been the greatest honor and privilege in my 46 years as a working adult. In those 16 years I was guided by simple principles; to work as hard as I could with the abilities God gave me and to make good public policy decisions based on what I held to be the right thing to do without regard to partisan politics. I know that.
In leaving the board the Board of Supervisors, I want to thank you for allowing me to represent this great region. I also want to thank you for your friendship, gracious encouragement, advice, and critiques that helped me to learn and grow in the job. Most of all, I want to acknowledge how proud I am of this region and our communities for their patriotism, commitment to community, volunteerism, philanthropy, and genuine kindness.
I am leaving at a time of both great uncertainty and great challenges. The economy is struggling to dig its way out at the expense of local government. Look no further than the state abolishing redevelopment agencies and taking millions from the City of Ridgecrest, and the state legislated prison reform that has sent hundreds of state prisoners and parolees to Kern County to house and monitor. Look at the crime statistic growth since passage of AB109. State felons are taking capacity in the county jail and lower level offenses see no or a fraction of their sentence incarcerated. The State budget is illusory. It began with a two billion shortfall, relied on a one-time $1.5 billion revenue when Facebook went public on the belief the stock would double, and $6 billion in revenue generated by Proposition 30. Tax revenues are less than projected, Facebook stock has lost forty percent, Proposition 30 passage is questionable. If Proposition 30 fails, California will be facing a $12-14 billion shortfall following the election. The State is now and will continue to take money from local government and/or place more responsibility on local government without sufficient funding to meet those responsibilities.
In January there will be three new members on the Board of Supervisors. The last time that occurred was in 1893. There are moments in time when experience really does matter. This is such a time. For that reason, I am supporting Roy Ashburn. There has never been a time when Roy's 12 years experience on the board of supervisors, six years in the assembly, and eight years in the senate are more needed to fight on behalf of local government than now. Roy Ashburn is the right person for the job for the right reasons at the right moment in time.
I invite you join me in supporting Roy Ashburn for First District Supervisor.

We agreed upon a price and that my things would be picked up on July 20th. We also agreed that my things would arrive either on July 26th or 10 days from that day.
The week following the 26th of July I contacted them to get an idea on when my things should arrive because I had not heard anything from them. A female rep answered the phone and stated that my things should be on their way (but I could tell something was not right). I asked her where the truck was and I found it odd that she didn't offer to contact dispatch so I asked her to be transferred and I was and got no answer.
I waited a few days and called again and got a message stating the phone lines were down. I continued to call for a week and still got the same thing. I sent an email to the rep that had taken care of my order and no response.
Finally I got through to someone today who told me they were no longer in business and that he has been getting several phone calls and that the owner had the lines transferred to his cell phone (he states he is a former manager).
He stated that the owner knew what he was doing because he was no longer accepting credit card or money order on pick up and told his employees to tell customers cash only on pick up.
He stated that everyone's belongings are in a storage facility but he is not sure which one and that the police are involved. I contacted their precinct and they told me this is not a criminal matter which makes no sense to me because several customers have paid for their things to be moved and now we have no information on what has happened to our precious belongings or where to go.
There are at least 40 others being affected (I am sure that number can easily double or triple). The scary thing is that this business was recognized by the Better Business Bureau (not accredited, but they had an A grade) and they had been in business for years.
There is very little as of now on the internet in regards to this scam, but I am sure it is just a matter of time.
