— New York, USA
Stanley Roger "Stan" Smith is a former world No. 1 American tennis player and two-time Grand Slam singles champion. His name is also used in a popular brand of tennis shoes.
— My Defining Moment?
In May 1971 I met Horst Dassler son of Adi Dassler, founder of Adidas, in a Parisian night club at 11pm. A strange time and place for our first business meeting. In 1965 Adidas had created the first leather tennis shoe and French player Robert Haillet's name was on the shoe. They wanted to get a stronger presence in the US market and I was the #1 US player as well as the #1 in the world at the time. Adidas put my photo on the tongue of the shoe in 1972 and later my name on the heel of the shoe as well. It was the best high tech performance shoe on the market but over the years it evolved into a fashion shoe, and I miraculously transitioned into a fashion icon. Today most people think Stan Smith is a shoe!!

investors have already invested EUR
through Bondora and have received EUR
million in interest.
% of investors - including
from United States of America - have earned over
% annually.
For a Better Bottom Line, Invest in P2P Lending
At Bondora, our success is your success
Whether you call it "peer-to-peer lending," "peer-2-peer lending," "marketplace lending" or "P2P lending," all those terms mean one thing: an investing platform that helps connect creditworthy borrowers with individuals¬ seeking to achieve their long-term financial goals.
Experience in good times and bad
There's a big difference between Bondora.com and other P2P lending sites, however. While rivals may claim they offer "high" rates or have "a lot" of expertise, Bondora has a seven-year track record of success. Our experience in good times and bad has taught us how to maximize the value of every loan we make so you can earn attractive returns with well-diversified risk.
Skin in the game
In fact, we know that your investing success depends on our success in making sure the majority of the borrowers behind the loans we offer on our P2P lending platform live up to their obligations. Charging risk-adjusted interest rates and having our own skin in the game help, of course. So, too, do our sophisticated underwriting capabilities, well-managed default-control process and institutional quality service providers.
More than 10% a year
But there's more to it than our dedication and commitment. The fact that more than investors from 40 countries have chosen our P2P lending platform likely boils down to two things: 98.6% of them have realized positive returns and % have earned more than % annually.
As they say on Wall Street, it's the bottom line that counts.

Customer reviews
I have always read The Economist – that's where I came across an article on Bondora in April 2014. I am very impressed at how innovative Bondora has been. If Bondora had existed 25 years ago, I would be a very wealthy man by now.
My best investment so far has been my investment through Bondora. Since I started to invest in 2013, my internal rate of return to-date is nearly 30% p.a. after defaults.
I really like Bondora's way of publishing lots of data and opening its API to all.
Bondora offers a much simpler way of investing than the platforms available in my own country, and so far everything is working out nicely.
Bondora offers an excellent yield and is easy to use.
Frequently asked questions
What is Bondora?
Bondora.com is a leading peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platform for investing in European non-bank personal loans. All loans are issued by our parent company, Bondora AS, which retains a share of the risk of every loan it offers through the Bondora.com marketplace.
What type of investments can I make through Bondora?
You can invest in Bondora loans, which are fixed-income investments that generate monthly cash flow from principal and interest payments.
How are you able to offer investors "above-market" returns?
Bondora issues loans to individuals in Finland, Spain and Estonia. These markets are underbanked in comparison to other Western European markets, owing to oligopolistic banking structures and the fallout from past financial crises. Uncompetitive banking sectors and a limited focus on consumer finance have created a high-cost environment with little credit available for the near-prime borrower segment.
How do you determine whether a borrower is creditworthy?
All borrowers are risk-assessed using Bondora's sophisticated underwriting models and assigned to credit groups where the interest rates offered reflect the relevant risks.
Do I need a lot of experience to invest through your platform?
In short, no. We provide you with easy-to-use automatic investing tools that make it simple to invest through Bondora. We take care of borrower credit assessment, scoring, payment collection, and collections (in cases of nonpayment), giving you complete peace of mind.
Can anyone invest on Bondora?
Anyone who is over age 18 and living in the EU, Switzerland or Norway, as well as businesses registered in the EU, can invest through Bondora. If you live or work outside the EU in any of the countries that comply with the EU's anti-money laundering directive, you can invest through Bondora if you are an accredited investor.

|memory required for syscs_util.syscs_compress_table
|Fri, 21 May 2010 03:50:40 GMT
Hi, Is there an upper-bound on the memory required to run syscs_util.syscs_compress_table? What determines how much memory is required (for example, should it be fixed or proportional to table size? affected by page size or page cache size?) We're occasionally getting out of memory errors when calling this function. For example, in testing our app (which is not small, but is in a pretty quiescent state during my testing), the app is in a stable state at approx 116M with max heap at 256M, and then running a series of table compresses (strictly one-at-a-time) eventually gives OOME. So it seems that 140M is not enough to accommodate this function. I did get all tables to compress successfully when using 512M max heap, but I need to understand how much memory Derby will require, and if the requirements will grow with larger tables. I'm using Derby 10.4.2. The "sequential" parameter is set to false. Thanks, Jim

Shocking goings on in a Japanese POW camp lead mild-mannered Brits and potty-mouthed Australian comrades to revolt. Revolt is right.
A gruesome beheading, some unlikely escaping and an attempted mutiny aboard a ship: not to be confused with David Leans supreme 1957 The Bridge On the River Kwai (the two films are brothers in name alone), this cheap and mindless rambling adventure sequel features Denholm Elliott as WWII's oldest commando, George ("Mr Sulu") Takei as the evil Commandant and Edward Fox as the leader (Benford) of our lads behind the wire. This is the worst kind of wartime garbage, but Fox's marble-mouthed self-parody has to be seen and heard to be believed. A must for all lovers of the seriously inept.
Torture to sit through and adds nothing in terms of historical accuracy, characterisation or suspense to David Lean's 1957 original.

Taking a proton pump inhibitor like Nexium is probably not a good option for heart attack patients being treated with aspirin. A new study published in the British Medical Journal has found that the addition of a proton pump inhibitor places these aspirin therapy patients in greater danger of experiencing a serious, possibly fatal, cardiovascular event.
The authors of the article, researchers from Copenhagen University in Denmark, called for further studies in this area to the drug interaction between proton pump inhibitors and aspirin, "owing to the large clinical implications of a possible interaction." Doctors often prescribe Nexium or another proton pump inhibitor to heart attack patients being treated with aspirin to prevent ulcers.
The study involved 19,925 patients admitted to the hospital for a first heart attack between 1996 and 2007. Of those, 3,366 experienced a recurrent heart attack, stroke or death within a year. According to the study authors, those taking both drugs faced a significant increase of suffering another heart attack, stroke or cardiac death compared to those taking only aspirin.
The study authors surmised that the increased cardiovascular event risk could have been the result of a reduced platelet response to aspirin caused by the proton pump inhibitor, or the drugs could impact gastric pH, inhibiting the absorption of aspirin.

A truly awful company. I placed an order and after 3 weeks of no item arriving, I phoned them, only to find my product was not in stock. I rang repeatedly every 3 weeks or so with the same response that it was expected within the next few days. I gave up after a while and requested a refund. After no refund was given, and my numerous unanswered calls to their York store, I decided to take the money back through my bank. Thankyou Bike Outlet for teaching me the true meaning of terrible customer service.

text: The Tasmanian Tiger The Tasmanian Tiger whose scientific name is the Thylacine once roamed the remote parts of Tasmania. The last of the species died at Hobart Zoo in 1936. The Tigers color helped it blend in to it's surroundings and allowed it to be a prolific hunter. The Tasmanian Tiger was such a great hunter, and killed so many farmer's sheep that the government placed a bounty on them. This was the primary reason they became extinct. The Thylacine - Australian Museum What is a thylacine? Why did it become extinct? Tasmanian Tiger Footage This clip captures images of the Tasmanian tiger, alone in its enclosure at Beaumaris Zoo in Hobart. The thylacine is shown in close-up investigating the camera, pacing up and down its small cage, yawning, lying in the sun, and sitting quietly.

Discussion in 'News Zone' started by Charles, Jun 4, 2004.
i'l be doing backflips if he gains 1300 yards.
I agree been too long since we have seen a QB\WR combo that has a feel for one another that can produce those types of numbers
Keyshawn is NOT the playmaker...that is true.
Keyshawn is his own person.....however his ego of thinking he is the best and that he can not be contained...IS like irvin.
Ha! I read that article at least five times, drooling over it more and more each time.
I was amazed last year to see so many claim Glenn was an "ideal" slot receiver. Spags said that too, not just fans. Some of it I suspect was wanting to get AB on the field, and Terry off it, some a feeling Glenn's quickness and size make him a slot receiver, some that he can't muscle a defender off the LOS ..and who knows what else rationales.
All I know is Glenn running eight yard curls and short slants is the stuff of which
nightmares are made. And the chief reason being how his SPEED is wasted,not just the perceived lack of "balls". I felt he should have been running JOEY'S plays last year, as that was in stock in trade since college. Hats off to him for diversifying his game last year, but he sure didn't elevate it by doing so, OR contribute to the team as much as he could and should have.
But hey, it took a year for Tuna to rectify the problem. Can't think of a better solution than Keyshawn Johnson.
In Bill we trust. And I look forward to seeing the REAL Terry Glenn this year.
Let's hope so. I wish we had drafted a receiver, but maybe TG and Key can prove my fears pointless.
Not saying he is or will be.
Just saying that his attitude and swagger are back in Dallas.
Sounds to me as though Johnson is going more of a Shannon Sharpe pass catching TE than a true WR.
Let's see that figures out to a little over 81 yards per game. Yep he can do that!
I like Johnson in the slot also. Even when the Oilers had the run & shoot, I wondered why they never put the bigger stronger receivers in the slot.

What is your username?
First of all I am TheSleepyhollow02 aka Gio Patrick S. Prequencia and I am a big Pokémon fan.
Please link to the wiki here:
How many edits have you made on that wiki?
I have total 166 edits to this Wiki.
How many days/months have you been editing there?
I am editing here since June 19, 2012 but I stopped editing here because there are few users are editing here and admin doesn't care about the wiki..
On the Special Pages -> Special:ListUsers when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it?
They last editing in this wiki since August 2012 and after that they don't care about the wiki...
Any other information:
Some of informations here in this wiki are outdated like upcoming episodes was listed in the home page and featured characters and others....
I know why these admin is stopped contributing to this wiki because:
1.) They don't like wikia now and the rules of it and one of the admin here says: "Wikia is a bad wiki hosting - It doesn't let communities decide about their work or how they should look".
2.) They moved to a Marriland Wiki and I don't what is the reason why they moved to there and become an admin of it in a short period of time. I thought they pay of Marriland Wiki.
And the other information I will add here is the contents in this wiki and Marriland Wiki is totally the same since they moved there and I saw some pictures used to Marriland Wiki is the same in Pokémon Wiki and the uploaders of it is the Wikia Users. I know the real source of information here is Pokémon Wiki and they only copy it in Marriland Wiki. Please add more Bureaucats and Administrators to this wiki and i hope you will fix this...
- You have your information wrong. The last admin who edited was today, and I would know since I just edited. Marriland wiki may have happened, but it doesn't mean there aren't admins on Pokemon Wiki. We have two bureaucrats and one user with just administrative rights. I'm sorry, but you've never interacted with the community and 166 edits isn't really anything. Please don't run an adoption request on a wiki that has admins who are active. Thanks. – EnemyPeacemaker 12:52, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
- I mean they add more admins because the former admins doesn't care about the wiki, if they have concern why they didn't update the upcoming episodes and the worst of all is they copy all information in Marriland Wiki even the uploaders of pictures used in Marriland Wiki is the user in Wikia except for those new uploaded. I don't want to become an admin because i can't handle it, if your question why i go here because i want to add more bureaucats or admins in Pokémon Wiki and two bureaucats and one active admin is too few. TheSleepyhollow02 (talk)
Sleepyhollow you can only adopt a wiki if their hasn't been any recent contributions by admins for at least 60 days. It doesn't matter what you think about their editing it's still a mattter. There are currently 3 admins editing recently and many contributors who have sayings for admin requests. I have been adopting wikis for a long time and as far as i know you're way off to be able to adopt this wiki. And also, three admins are enough for one whole community, i've been there for a little and they seem very active. At this point, only the admins can choose who does and who doesn't get the rights --DeviantSerpent (talk) 08:06, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Ok sorry, I don't want this chat get too long and I'm only concerned to the wiki but let's wait for staff decision. TheSleepyhollow02 (talk) 08:19, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
- First of all, a good wiki community should have a minimum of three sysops and one bureaucrat. The pokemon wiki currently has two active sysops and one active bureaucrat. Don't judge me wrong or anything, but the wiki would be better off with an extra sysop. Lelouch Di Britannia Talk Page 10:02, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Pokémon Wiki has:
- Rainbow Shifter as a sysop
- EnemyPeacemaker (me) and Slayingthehalcyon as bureaucrats.
- I honestly do not see how you guys are only seeing two active sysops and one active bureaucrat. In addition to the users that do have administrative privileges we have a user who is running a request for administrative rights who currently has rollback rights. I'm pretty sure he would get the rights were it not for poor community skills. I also do not think you can rightfully judge what the community on Pokémon Wiki is like when you've not made an edit there regarding community, or anything for that matter. We also don't have much of a community at Pokémon Wiki, at most we have 10 users who may choose to be active in discussion. We really aren't in the need of another admin at this time, especially not someone who hasn't really edited much. – EnemyPeacemaker 21:37, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Pokémon Wiki has:
- Hi. I'm sorry but the wiki is not eligible for adoption as it has active admins. If you have a complaint against those admins feel free to write to Special:Contact. -- Wendy (talk) 03:22, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

In the field of fiber optic communication industry marketing consulting, FiberStore as a rising star, given the forecast is always to be optimistic than others. Now, shouted the slogan but also winter in China some of the veterans of the optical device manufacturers, FiberStore said yesterday that the earliest the second half of the year, most likely next year, the fiber optic communication industry usher in a new round of boom. Their reason is that AT & A and Deustche Telekom announdced last year that the next three years will be an annual increase of 10% to 15% of investment, and other carriers are likely to follow up.
First, China's three major operators in the world's largest 15 operators market share increased from 17% in 2007 to 27% now. Share of the three major U.S.operators during the same period from 28% down to 24%. This rise and that drop, the growing importance of the Chinese market. But China's economy can not maintain past growth rate of 9% to 10% target for 2013 is now 7.5%. Nevertheless, the growth of China's telecom industry outlook remains bullish.
For example, China Telecom has 75 million 3G users, but all mobile users a little more than 10%. In FTTH fiber optic cable, FTTH network operators in China to cover the world's first, but the average speed is much lowe than the level of the United States, not to mention Japan and South Korea. Based on this, China's economic slowdown will not be significant impact on the global telecommunications market.
Second, AT & T and Deutsche Telekom said that operators do exist in the past few years the problem of insufficient network investments. If you take into account the price war in the field of equipment manufacturers, operators of commercial lower prices for better fiber optic products and technology is very possible, which will stimulate investment in equipment operators.
Third, FiberStore predict a major starting point is the relationship between the growth of Internet traffic and network bandwidth growth. Based on the network bandwidth will continue in the next few years to more than 30% of the rate of growth, their model shows that the growth of bandwidth on the growth of the market as a whole is very obvious. For example, in 2014 the network bandwidth from 33% to 40% of the change in optical devices to improve the sales growth forecast from 15% to 55%. Development of IP video from the United States, or from CES2013 new broadband standards, the emergence of a new terminal products, the future growth of the network bandwidth and Internet traffic are still can be expected. In FiberStore opinion, this is the fundamental reason for the optical communications market continue to be optimistic.

Admire the most beautiful places of Cosenza and add them to your basket. YAMGU will create your trip considering distances, opening hours and weather.
About 380 metres of the Hill Pancrazio, down the street of the same name, the ruins of the Norman-Swabian Castle dominates the capital bruzio.
Its construction is usually attributed to the Byzantines around 937. In 1184 as many other historical monuments of the city, was severely damaged by an earthquake, until its renovation during the 13th century by Frederick II of Swabia (hence its official name: normanno-svevo).
The Church, part of a monastic complex, was born to the family Sanseverino of Bisignano in the mid fifteenth century and the façade still retains elements of the original building, like the rose and the arch framing the entrance portal in Gothic style.
The Interior is characterized by the late Baroque decoration, as can be seen from the stucco, the vault and the dome; the chorus is instead due to the medieval period. The Interior was altered in the 18th century and the period in question are the Saints painted by grenade and marble altar next to which stands the sacristy, which contains a 17t

The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the sanctuary of the Virgin of Leslie, is located in the heart of the historic centre, on Piazza Duomo, next to corso Telesio. Built in the middle of the 11th century, it boasts, thanks to its millenary history, more architectural styles.
On October 12, 2011 has been recognised as a witness to the culture of peace UNESCO.
The Cathedral has a façade divided into three main parts in the development of the transverse part of the basement. This Division corresponds to the internal one. Dominating the landscape of distinctive historic cosentino, stands the

Daschle's withdrawal, along with wrangling over the stimulus, made for possibly the rockiest day of Obama's presidency so far. The president said he will learn from the Daschle debacle. "I consider this a mistake on my part, one that I intend to fix and correct and make sure that we're not screwing up again," Obama said. "Ultimately I have to take responsibility for a process that resulted in us not having a (health and human services) secretary at a time when people need relief on their health care costs. "So this is a mistake -- probably not the first one I'm going to be making in this office, but what I'm absolutely committed to doing is fixing it," he said. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/02/03/obama-admits-mistake-handling-daschle-nomination/ Personally I respect Obama more for stepping up and taking responsibility. . .

There are three basic ways to go about hiring a caregiver. First, you need to decide whether to hire a private caregiver or go through an agency. There are two kinds of homecare agencies: referral and full-service. This article outlines the questions you need to ask if you decide to go the agency route. Gilbert Guide also provides information on hiring private caregivers and working with agencies, along with detailed explanations of the services you can expect from all three homecare options.
Your Personal Needs
Before calling any agencies, make a list of what the job will entail and what your expectations are for hiring a professional caregiver. Be as detailed as possible.
- When and how often do you need a caregiver? Is it likely to change soon? If so, will it be a problem?
- What duties would you like the caregiver to perform and how often? List out the duties and frequency (e.g, light housekeeping weekly, driving to doctor's appointment as needed, and aiding with bathing every morning).
- Do you need any specialized care, such as for dementia or incontinence?
The agency you choose will help you determine how many hours a week are needed as well as figuring out the best timing, but it's up to you to identify subtler personal needs. Make a note of any strong preferences that you have regarding your caregiver. Also consider the following issues:
Cultural Awareness & Sensitivity
Let the agency know if the person who will be receiving care has cultural habits or traditions, food preferences or limited English-speaking skills that need to be accommodated.
SEE ALSO: Find In-Home Care Help Near You
Some people may feel uncomfortable with personal care tasks being performed by a person of the opposite gender. Ask the agency if they will send a caregiver who suits your loved one's preference.
Pet Peeves
The caregiver you hire will be spending a lot of time with your loved one, so this is a significant issue. What are your loved one's pet peeves? Disorder or messiness? Smoking in the home? Bring these up when you coordinate with the agency.
Personality Traits
You want your loved one to feel comfortable around and get along well with the caregiver. Are there any personality traits that would be beneficial or detrimental for a caregiver to have in this relationship? Make your concerns known to the agency.
Questions to Ask an Agency
Before calling a homecare agency, assess your needs and know what kind of care you need. Ask yourself what type of homecare agency you want. If a full-service agency best meets your needs, make sure the agency offers the following:
SEE ALSO: Find In-Home Care Help Near You
- Criminal background check on caregivers
- Worker's compensation insurance
- Professional liability insurance or bond
- Covers all payroll taxes
- Ongoing supervision of caregivers
- Caregiver training, especially in areas that are important for your loved one, such as dementia training
See Gilbert Guide's listings to find full-service agencies in your area. Once you narrow your choices down, the following questions will help you get a feel for the agency's protocols and management style.
- How often are caregivers checked in on by supervisors? (Weekly and as-needed checks are best.)
- Do check-ins occur over the phone, via progress reports or in person?
- How often are care plans reevaluated? (Every 30 days and as needed is best.)
- Are caregivers available 24 hours a day?
- Are supervisors on call 24 hours a day?
- If I request a new caregiver what is the longest time it will take to find a new match? (Anything over 48 hours is unreasonable.)
- How long does it take to cover a shift if my caregiver is unavailable at the last minute?
- If your rates change, how much time will I have between the time I am informed and when I will need to pay the higher price?
- When is payment due? What are my payment options?
- If my caregiver is sick, will he or she contact me directly? Will you inform me if a new caregiver will be coming?
- Will caregivers change periodically or will I most likely have the same person(s)?
To help you find the right local homecare services for your loved one, our partner ElderCarelink has established a nationwide network of carefully screened eldercare providers. Find help quickly with this FREE Homecare Referral service...get a detailed list of matched providers within minutes.
Tip: Specialized Dementia Care Does your loved one require specialized care for dementia? Larger agencies can usually offer more applicants with specialized training in a variety of areas, as they have a larger pool from which to draw.

Seeds For ChangeMar 04 2012 · 0 comments · Uncategorized
Growing Faith, Food, and The Future
It's wake up time. Our nation heaves under the weight of complicated, layered crises; wars, a failing economy, economic and racial divides, collapsing infrastructure and urban decay, environmental devastation, soil and air pollution and challenges that affect the source, quality and supply of our foods. The crises are so interrelated and polarizing that it is difficult to know where to begin to affect meaningful change. Perhaps, however, the real challenge involves making a shift in the way we think about change. Should you venture to listen beyond the bitter argumentation inside Washington for example, beyond the deafening rhetoric within city councils and mayoralties, beyond even the overwhelming negativity, fragmentation and divisive national conversations, you will find quite a different scenario unfolding. Critical numbers of people within urban neighborhoods are demonstrating a powerfully creative approach to issues that adversely impact the quality of their lives. The seeds of change are being quietly sown and have already sprouted wondrous roots. At first glance, you may never hear or notice them at work as you drive through the neighborhood. Nevertheless, intergenerational bands of earth warriors, urban farmers, people from diverse backgrounds and cultures are busily engaged in a grass roots movement now comfortably called "The Good Food Revolution". And far more than good food is being introduced.
The Revolution is being led and carried out by everyday folk across the country who, quite simply, feel called to make a difference. They know they can. They include once alienated youth, wisdom- filled elders, eager of school kids, working folk and the under- employed, singles and partners, war veterans now armored with hope, the formerly incarcerated now intent upon growing a new life, volunteering college interns and apprentices of all ages. Each in their own way is defining the meaning of this movement to their future and to that of their community, regardless of the signs of despair all around: abandoned buildings, empty lots and warehouses, homes and apartments in varying states of disrepair. Exiles within our American cities are emerging out from seeming chaos and obscurity, daring to rediscover and unfold earth's secret resources and uncover the alchemic mystery of soil and biosphere. After clearing away broken glass and debris, they carry out their tasks with such passion, sacrifice and sacred regard, that it is almost best understood through the lens of those touched by some unifying spiritual force and driven by deep religious commitment. But most of all, they are providing the world with a template for creative community development that may be imaginatively applied as we all rethink the restoration of our beloved neighborhoods and cities.
Struggling urban areas have historically been victims of the exigencies of modern living and the subjective strategies of developers and urban planners. So what exactly is going on here that is different? And why is it unfolding within the more hidden and forgotten areas of the city? Perhaps like grassroots movements throughout modern history, the focus remains upon the plight of disconnected peoples, disenfranchised voters, people who have been denied basic civil and human rights or who experience social and environmental injustices, racism and unemployment on a daily basis. And like former movements that began within the black church tradition, today's Good Food Revolution addresses the continued adverse conditions that compromised urban neighborhoods must contend with each day. Leaders in this movement are called upon, once again, to conjure ways of intentionally transforming adversity into advantage in the face of a subtle dismissal of their existence and of the seriousness of their concerns. But unlike food movements from the sixties and seventies that involved the folklore of flower children and life within organic- producing communities, this one is directed across inner- city communities that have great social, cultural and economic diversity. And today's urban farmers incorporate an ingenious mix of traditional and cutting-edge technologies to achieve their goals. The specific objective today is to target and eventually eliminate what is currently being called "food deserts", neighborhoods that suffer from the unavailability of fresh fruits, vegetables and wholesome foods. When found at all in local markets, foods are rarely fresh and always far too costly for purchase by the people who live there.
The presence of "food deserts" also points toward even more devastating consequences of living beneath the poverty line: regular consumption of fast foods and restaurants foods that contain zero nutritional value, cholesterol-laden diets, foods prepared with excess salt, sugar and preservatives. In communities where obesity, diabetes, hypertension and heart disease are the norm, this is a deadly diet. It is the breeding ground for chronic poor health and all too often, premature death from entirely preventable diseases. Creating a "good food consciousness" is certainly critical for every one. But within inner-city communities, it has become a matter of life and death. Yet as grim as the outlook seems to be, and despite the appearance of city spaces void of income and important resources, an experience of fertile goodness is quite still possible. A Good Food Revolution is already in progress.
All vibrant life hinges upon the infinite evolutions of mysterious cycles that carry us across the threshold of birth, awakening to vibrancy, gradual decomposition and regeneration. Following the honored legacy of creative conjurors of social change, the imaginative leadership within this particular revolution, have placed the locus of activity within the most symbolic of life-affirming, sacred space. In the midst of often unsightly, uninviting urban decay and devastation, they are at work inside the garden. Faithful co- laborers within the movement now retreat to the garden for work and think-space in which to introduce new directions that will make things happen in a powerful way. From there, they safe-guard a vision that will feed many thousands, market fresh, organic produce and foods, restore neighborhoods, and in time, help make sick people whole again.
The religious imagery here is intentional although religion, as such, is hardly the subject. Far from attempting to label the urban farmer as participant in some new kind of spiritual order, we are challenged to think more broadly and go beyond conventional interpretations. While there may be unquestionable spiritual significance in the act of introducing change from within a garden, there is no particular allegiance to any ideology or system of belief. The contemporary urban farmer, however, does operate from a fundamentally unifying, inspirational, life-affirming idea: people can be empowered to grow good food and create healthier, more vibrant communities for their families. Farming is understandably a metaphor for the cultivation of life. But from the vantage point of the inner-city urban farmer, it also becomes an in-your-face, revolutionary action carried out in order to return the power of life back to the people.
When we borrow from the insight of Joseph Campbell, prolific religious scholar, writer and authority on global mythology, we uncover a more depth understanding of how religious imagery is, in fact, relevant here. It may even help dispel some misinterpretations about what religious activity truly means. The word "religion" derives from an old Latin verb, "re-ligare", meaning 'to link back', to re-link, or re-connect that which has become broken off. The emphasis here is placed on the action of a verb that is pointing toward some ultimate good being activated. "God", in the ancient Hebrew, is an ultimate, ineffable, un-nameable reality and represents more than a noun that identifies some Divine Being. The focus shifts instead to what happens as a result of a re-connection to an ultimate, life- affirming reality always at work within creation. The intent of the Good Food Revolutionary then, the challenge of the urban farmer, is to 'hook' people and communities back up to a re-creative possibility that is always available. How easy it is to forget this awesome reality amidst the fragmentation of city life. Harvesting good food is a fundamentally transformative activity and certainly qualifies as sacred, re-connecting labor. It is work that involves constant reflection, redirection and sacrifice, but ultimately, the joy of providing sustenance for our communities. It is whole-making and healing labor that, coincidently, also seems naturally fashioned for participation by communities of Faith, outreach programs and interfaith collaborations across all traditions. For any community, farming activity is a 'sactified' way to bring meaningful perspective to the anxiety-producing, divisive preoccupations of the world and to participate in a larger vision of wholeness for our beloved communities.
Every major and indigenous spiritual tradition, especially within the mystic traditions, provides a path for retreat to the realms of re-creative activity, followed by a return to the world to confront particular conditions of brokenness. The created space within community gardens provides both a path of retreat and a strategy for important community action. It is also a process easily adaptable across language and culture and transportable across the globe. The vision of urban farmers co-laboring world-wide, attempting to address issues of food shortage and community disruption is profound and entirely realizable.
Whether it is a person or community in crisis, a neighborhood plagued by broken moments of history, ill-treatment, neglect and oppression, or a city attempting to overcome the adverse effects of a plantation economy, industrialization, discrimination or environmental degradation, the drive toward transformational insight and change starts from the single revolutionary act of sacred reconnection. Beyond the limited labels we like to use, the work of change introduced from within the garden in has, in fact, awesome spiritual significance. It is a way of tapping back into the source of all creative energy that exists eternally, without condition. Those who dare labor in the garden become empowered to recharged themselves and return to work in a world that is continually being disconnected or broken, a world that is always in need of more harmony, more justice, more healing… and of beginning again.
Co- laborers inside gardens and hoop houses share more then productive work. They are creating a new story of community. They are re-storying their lives. They gather to share their own life stories, dreams and visions of new homes, markets that provide places to work and sell their produce and new ways to nurture their neighborhood. Abandoned buildings and warehouses, rather than representing a blight of disintegrating wood, bricks and mortar upon the urban landscape, are re-envisioned as a restorable projects, potential financial and community investments. Working together, people envision new small businesses, better schools and vital organs of community life that can possibly emerge over time.
Along with the growing presence of beautiful and fruitful community gardens, many contemporary urban farmers have incorporated the process of aquaponics, a visionary fusion of ancient, conventional and cutting- edge bio-scientific technology. It is a process that moves biology beyond the boundaries of a Cartesian-Newtonian framework within science. Inside this garden, plant cells are experienced as highly activated, energizing organisms that thrive within a dynamic complex of living systems, far removed from any machine- like imagery. Inside the building, the aquaponics system re-creates a fully organic environment where plant life grows and flourishes with or without the use of soil. It is an integral system that has proved useful in the creation of green spaces within a variety of urban environments.
The vibrations from within an aquaponics facility, frequently an abandoned neighborhood building, are nothing short of amazing. As you enter you are struck by the overwhelming presence of light and greening life everywhere. Folk are busily tending to tanks able to hold thousands of gallons of water and swimming fish, either tilapia or perch. Above the tanks are long rows, sometimes even layered rows of seeding grow beds, soon to evolve into mature plants. And above everything, efficient grow lights are constructed to correspond to the rows of plants growing below. In some facilities solar panels are also incorporated. The creativity evidenced in making all this happen is as great as the imaginations of the people involved. It is simply unlimited. Plants are fertilized and cultivated by the circulation and recycling of water and waste from the fish tanks below. Tanks are monitored regularly for proper nutritional content, toxins and an optimal growth environment. This is an entirely self-sustaining system. It is good for the neighborhood, good for the community and wonderful for the production of abundant, fresh food destined to cover the food deserts with new life. It is an efficiently maintainable, bio-scientific process that produces a continual supply of fresh fish, certain kinds of vegetables and herbs, all from inside an old building, inside a garden, inside a so-called food desert. In reality and in truth, through the eyes of creation, there is simply no such thing as a desert.
The work of creation unfolds mysteriously, intentionally, rhythmically and eternally. Liberated from restrictions of denomination, ideology and dogma, co-laborers of creation- possibility are free to direct their attention away from external signs of neighborhood disintegration and focus upon the movement of creation being nurtured from inside an urban Cosmos. Unbound from the paralyzing polemics of restrictive scientific paradigms, where boundaries between space and matter, people and things prevail, a way he is being made out of no way. Life- affirming activity is unleashed to perform the work of reconnection at vibrating atomic levels. Sub atomic particles move in quantum flights, leaping through boundless growth space within a bio-scientific garden. No separation exists between the creative realm, the laborer, the growth of wholesome foods and the healing activity of faithful human beings intent upon making a difference. It can be said that a new age of urban farmers are engaged in holy tasks from within the sacred spaces of gardens and aquaponics "temples", critical realms of transformation and change. That is exactly what seems to be happening. They are places where virtual vibrational fields of spirit- filled human and plant energy surround seeds, fish, sprouting roots and created goodness, powerful enough to heal a dis-eased people, resurrect weakened communities, restore decaying neighborhoods and re-birth dynamic cities of hope. What entirely credible dreams can be cultivated from within an urban cosmos!
This radical revolution could not move and fulfill its purpose without extraordinary leadership throughout its ranks. The Good Food Revolution definitely has such leadership which, for the purposes of this writing, will be referred to as "Urban Shamans". In conventional terms, Shamans exist in most indigenous cultures where they are thought of as practitioners of healing. They are believed to be individuals who possess special gifts that enable them to identify and address particular conditions of destruction and imbalance within their communities. We can adopt this term in an urban context not only because many indigenous cultures and people who understand the term well now live within our urban communities, but also because the work performed by leadership demands the kind of sensitivity, wisdom and healing engagement that is asked of the traditional Shaman. They are leaders who deeply understand the conditions within their communities and serve as co-creators in order to bring about a change. Leaders within this Good Food Revolution combine personal skills, wisdom, and experience, along with current technological know-how, in order to create a new reality within the communities where they live and operate.
An African saying speaks of a wisdom that is the essential challenge and charge to a new generation of Urban Farmers and Shamanic-Leaders within the Good Food Revolution. It is a reminder that
"The Creator may send a famine, but he also provides a way to find food".
It also helps to understand that, within the African sacred dynamic, all life is imbued with a vital life- affirming, spirit- filled energy that comes from the Creator of all life. The responsibility for the care of creation, however, is assigned to the human being. Ancestors play an important role as guardian of their descendants and over community life. They are always a shrine or invocation away and can be called upon to intervene in human affairs, frequently answering the call through visions and dreams. Those who listen and respond to their ancestors must often go to extreme lengths in order to restore a sense of balance within their communities.
Enter the powerful presence of a gifted African American man and leader within the movement. Will Allen is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Growing Power Inc., an ambitious urban farm enterprise with facilities located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Chicago, Illinois, Detroit, Michigan and satellite communities across the country. Recently he has been the recipient of the Katherine T. MacArthur Fellowship Award for Genius and among others, a grant from The Clinton Global Initiative. One can only wonder at some mysterious ancestral connection and insight that may have caused this professional basketball player to stop, reassess a successful career, completely change direction and tackle the issues of food deserts within our urban communities. What visions and dreams might have come from Will Allen's own ancestors, once rural sharecroppers and farmers, and influence him to return to the path of growing food?
Growing Power Inc. farming initiatives are extensive and engage communities in a number of critical ways. In addition to starting urban farms, Growing Power also operates farms in more rural areas that include the raising of organic-fed poultry and beef. Growing Power produces and distributes their foods within community markets and provides important community outreach through local workshops. There is also a Training Center which brings in people from all over the country and teaches the technology of growing food and the development of community food systems. Will Allen and the urban farmers within the Growing Power extended family easily qualify as dedicated co-creators who are intent upon cultivating a more healthful urban reality. The dedication of its co-laborers beautifully illustrate its name and vision by growing good food, growing greater consciousness, community concern and ultimately, by growing communities without food deserts.
The Good Food Movement continues to grow nationally and internationally but a vibrating Hub of model initiatives remain in the mid-west of the country. Detroit Michigan is a city that exemplifies historic urban crises at every level. For centuries it has been home for waves of slaves escaping to freedom on the Underground Railroad, Americans and immigrants in search of an American dream, and industrial tycoons making vast fortunes from the manufacturing every major American vehicle. The excesses of war, economic collapse, out- of- control costs of gas and oil, urban "flight", fires, floods and riots have had devastating effects upon the once vibrant the beautiful city along the lakes.
Resilient people and communities within the city, however, have remained singularly focused on a restorative vision. Detroit has two mottos that illustrate its intent. "We hope for better" and "We will rise from the ashes". The Good Food Movement is also present and is now strategically woven into that vision. But there is the presence in Detroit of someone we can easily anoint as a kind of "High Priestess" within grassroots activity nation-wide: a mid-wife of urban restoration and Radical Revolution. Her name is Grace Lee Boggs. Now in her nineties, Grace is an appropriate name for a woman who has offered so much of herself to Detroit and grassroots activists over the years. As author, teacher, mentor, philosopher and advocate of bold, visionary change, Grace Lee Boggs continues the work begun in partnership with her late husband, James Boggs, many years ago. Their mutual commitment to "radical revolution" has initiated generations of urban warriors, nurtured grassroots activity, restoring hope, vitality and creative direction in Detroit and across the country. Her sharp intellect and sensitive humanity stimulate and energize people into purposeful participation and evoke relentless community action and change. Despite mountains of difficulty that must still be overcome, the results of her influence in and around Detroit are palpable and visible.
Similar challenges, but on a smaller scale, exist in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. But confronting the devastating effects of collapsed businesses, failing economy and urban deterioration is Urban Shaman, James Godsil. Brother James is a roofer, Renaissance man, social artist, and provocateur of possibility. He is also the co- founder of Sweet Water Organics and President of the Board of The Sweet Water Foundation. Sweet Water," The Farm," is a successful urban farm and aquaponics facility. The Sweet Water Foundation, "The Academy," is a non-profit enterprise harvesting information from the work of The Farm and diffusing it to learners of all ages throughout Milwaukee, the nation and beyond. Godsil studied the art of urban farming as an apprentice of Will Allen and Growing Power Inc. Sweet Water Organics is an intensified fish and vegetable farm located in an old factory- warehouse building where trains were once maintained and massive mining cranes assembled. Covering the space and rails where cargo trains once traveled, are now huge fish tanks and rows of captivatingly beautiful green produce cultivated with the help of aquaponics technology. Sweet Water fish tanks hold 8,000 to 12,000 gallons and, at this moment, they are among the largest tanks in the aquaponics system in the world. Sweet Water is also a Foundation and 501C3 Organization. Like Growing Power Inc., Sweet Water Inc is also involved with economic development at the local level, social justice initiatives, growing food and fish for market, creating jobs and training workshops.
There is a special place at Sweet Water for involvement with school children and introducing them to the mysteries of plant growth, the world of bioscience, artful expression and community engagement. At any given time, you will see elementary and High School students focused on studying or discussing this art with Sweet Water staff. But what James Godsil is perhaps best known for is he is portrayal of an endearing character called "The Worm Mon". Moving about Sweet Water gardens, hoop houses and compost, "The Worm Mon" teaches schoolchildren about the magic and function of worms as they busily feed and fertilize the soil so that good food might grow. Children can even taste as they go in the edible gardens and farms that they visit. High school students are welcomed at Sweet Water. In collaboration with their school teachers and administrators, they are encouraged to learn through a kind of 'school without walls' experience. They learn the art and discipline of urban farming while serving as apprentices, contributing their gifts and acquiring new skills.
Walnut Way Conservation Corps, also in Milwaukee, is another exciting example of the partnership in the vision of community restoration. Husband and wife team, Sharon and Larry Adams, lead by example throughout their greening activities within the Walnut Way community. Its programs have successfully brought together youth, elders, families, new home owners and renters in a shared vision of community restoration and development. The productive community gardens at Walnut Way, special events, art projects, housing restoration and renovation, economic strategies, all play important parts in the healing and empowerment of this community. And all began inside a garden.
The redefined interpretation of Urban Shamanic activity within a contemporary urban environment plays out well here. The Shamans/grassroots leaders identified go to great lengths indeed, taking on the responsibility of restoring fundamentally broken aspects of community life and reconnecting the people to the resources helpful for wholeness. They attend to the crucial, bridge-building relationships that move a disenfranchised people toward intentional, faith-filled, spirited activity. They initiate meaningful movement from their existence as isolated neighborhoods to healing reconnecting action within empowered communities, and from abandoned city lots to reclaimed property and personal ownership of real estate. And they facilitate progressive movement from a hopeless, struggling past toward a more hopeful, healthful and fulfilling future.
New Vision Grows
Emmanuel Pratt is a young African American Urban Shaman who now serves as Executive Director of the Sweet Water Foundation. He brings his particular life experience to the vision of healthy,vibrant urban living. Musician, architect, and doctoral candidate in Urban Planning at Columbia University, Emmanuel is a weaver of connections between people, institutions and organizations within the Milwaukee and Chicago urban farming community. His study of struggling urban communities world-wide gives him a panoramic view of the challenging issues that city- dwellers face every day while attempting to forge a life and create community.
Through his work at Sweet Water, Emmanuel communicates a vision for good food and good living by creating an intricate web of resources networks that altogether, empower communities to create good spaces in which to live and grow. Emmanuel represents a new generation of urban planners, shifting away from conventional emphasis upon blueprints, buildings, city developers, anonymous housing subdivisions and isolated communities. This new reality in urban planning seeks to create habitable spaces that foster a sense of belonging, where people want to live and contribute, be respected and, just as within the garden, have a stake in the total well-being of the communities in which they live.
This shift in thinking about inner-city urban life serves as an important corrective to planning schemes where, despite decades of living and serving a beloved community, people can be uprooted like useless weeds, then exiled to other alienated neighborhood, perhaps even in another city. They easily become the victims of entrepreneurial or political re-zoning and gentrification schemes that significantly and adversely effect neighborhood demographics. Creating Urban Farms initiates a direction that moves people from institutionalized victimhood to empowered personhood.
This is where you, the reader, prospective urban farmers of good food, earth warriors, potential visionary Urban Shamans and restorers of broken community dreams come in. You are invited into a new story of re-creation. Whoever you may be, teachers, students, laborers, principals, professionals, pastors or members of the flock, you have much to offer to a new age of meaningful urban life. So when you decide to explore a neighborhood within your city, and should you come across a local community garden there, you now know that far more is happening than meets the eye. And should you feel called into sacred, co-creative action and want to participate in a wonderfully mysterious urban adventure, should you feel seduced by the sheer madness and magical possibility of making good things happen inside the deserts of your city, you are welcome to a revolution that will surely not be televised. Most of all, if you have become tired of the disgruntled, frenzied, negative voices of the world, it is time to plant the seeds for change. In the words of an old gospel song, "There's a plenty good room…"

I am anxious to get a Nexus 4 and I plan to keep of for very long time. Since I want the N4 for considerable amount time which leaves to wonder how long Google will keep the OS updated.
Nexus One made it a year.
Nexus S basically two years.
Will two years be the cycle Google will try to keep with Nexus devices from now on?
Will Google try to go longer than 2 years?
Right now for Galaxy Nexus does not seem it might not make 2 year mark like Nexus S. GN with 4.2 may have shown it's limitations.
I would like Nexus 4 to be update for three years as long as it is feasible and performance improve or same.

The world champion scored his first win of the season but his celebrations were drowned out by jeers on the podium after safety concerns regarding the use of Michelin tyres saw 14 drivers pull into the pits before the race started.
Schumacher was nevertheless delighted to claim ten points and move closer to world championship leader Fernando Alonso after winning from Ferrari team-mate Rubens Barrichello. He said: "My feelings are mixed. It was very strange to see everyone going into the pits. Nevertheless, after that Rubens and myself had a race going. We had a very good car to fight for the victory and were strong in free practice.
"So it is sad, particularly for all the supporters, that we were not able to fight for victory under normal circumstances.
"America has always been a special Grand Prix for us. This time it was a unique race but there was nothing we could have done."
Williams driver Nick Heidfeld says seven Formula One team bosses were right to pull out of the race, claiming the farce was preferable to a serious accident.
Ralf Schumacher crashed on the banked final turn at Indianapolis on Friday because of a puncture and Michelin advised their teams not to race unless changes were made to the corner.
Proposals to introduce a chicane were vetoed by world governing body the FIA and seven teams decided their cars were not safe to race.
Heidfeld claims that brave decision was the right one. He said: "We would have liked to drive but if Michelin tell us it's not safe, we have to follow their instructions."
