Policy Brief 48: Foodways of the poor in South Africa: How poor people get food, what they eat, and how this shapes our food system
FOOD DISTRIBUTIONBy Florian Kroll, March 2017Foodways are the set of strategies shaping what food people choose as well as how and where they access and consume it. Informed by culture and social context, the foodways of the poor simultaneously respond to and influence food systems change. South African food systems are in a process of change. These changes are caused by many factors, including urbanisation, …
Corporate power in the agro-food system and the consumer food environment in South Africa
By Stephen Greenberg, February 2017
This contribution maps the South African agro-food system with a focus on corporate ownership and power, inspired by value chain work applied to the food system as a a whole. Corporations tend to dominate some nodes, for example input supply, grain storage and handling, and feedlots. Other nodes have a corporate core but with a wide number of smaller economic actors, for example agricultural production, food manufacturing, wholesale and retail, and consumer food service. This wide number of actors points to possible areas of …
Rethinking agriculture in South Africa: Constraints and opportunities Key lessons for policy makers
A summary report by Donna Hornby and Ben Cousins, October 2016
A conference-dialogue was held in Cape Town from 11-13th October 2016 with the purpose of rethinking agriculture. The key question guiding the event was: 'What role can agriculture play in helping resolve the crisis facing South Africa?' Persistently high and increasing rates of unemployment, rising inequality, a stagnant economy and a dysfunctional state – these issues define the key policy-political challenges in contemporary post-apartheid South Africa. Rural areas and the agrarian economy are …
Changed working conditions on Western Cape fruit and wine farms: A state of knowledge review
By Margareet Visser, September 2016
This state of the knowledge review sets out to identify the main research themes and findings in the literature on labour relations and conditions on Western Cape fruit farms over the past 20 years. The paper also compares if and how farmworker livelihoods have changed since the heyday of Apartheid, and the role of the state in these changes. While farmworkers enjoy vastly more legal protection than in the past, most may in fact be worse off economically. This lack of improvement can be attributed to the state's …
Lusaka's local food geographies: A gendered reading of everyday food insecurity in Mtendere, Lusaka
By Frances Davies, August 2016
Little is known about how individual abilities and food security determinants - at the scale of everyday life - connect to formal and informal value chains, and broader urban structural systems in which daily processes are embedded. Structural inequalities in urban systems make it difficult to translate economic development into improved food security at different city, household or individual scales. Exploring current a-scalar and anti-urban food security …
Understanding South African food and agricultural policy - Implications for agri-food value chains, regulation, and formal and informal livelihoods

In order to create credibility and sustainability between policies, to avoid political confusion and to reassure "investor confidence", a clear agri-food policy package needs to be in place. To achieve this, policy packages should be constructed to give coherence, with an explicit goal and set of objectives, underscoring accountability to delivery. Considering current policy …
Deflating the fallacy of food deserts: Local food geographies in Orange Farm and Inner City Johannesburg
By Florian Kroll, August 2016
The availability and accessibility of food is constrained by the environments where people live, work and purchase goods, and the pathways which they use to traverse these. This recognition has given rise to innovative conceptual frameworks including "food environments" and "food deserts". These concepts add a spatial dimension to food security research that could inform food systems governance. Although the concepts have expanded the understanding of food security in the global North, their application to …
Foodways of the poor in South Africa: How value-chain consolidation, poverty & cultures of consumption feed each other
FOOD DISTRIBUTIONBy Florian Kroll, July 2016South African food systems are in a dynamic process of transition due to changes in food value chain regimes which have major impacts on the poor. However, these transitions are also shaped by demand-side drivers emerging from the 'foodways of the poor' - the ways poor people access food, what kinds of food they purchase, how they are consumed, and the culturally-conditioned …

I wanted to create a vegetarian Thanksgiving dish that the meat-eaters at the table would enjoy as well. This dish uses quinoa (keen-wah) which actually is a complete protein, so you are not missing out on anything, nutritionally speaking, when you eat this without the bird. Also, we should all consider having at least one meatless dinner per week (good for you AND the environment), and this is a great main dish that satisfies your protein needs and provides a great hearty, meaty texture. I used red quinoa for this dish, but any quinoa will work.
- 1 Acorn Squash
- ground cinnamon (just a pinch or two)
- 1/4 cup quinoa, cooked
- olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons minced onion
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tablespoons walnuts, chopped and toasted (can be easily toasted by heating in a pan on the stove top until they begin to lightly brown)
- 1 Tablespoon UNSWEETENED dried cranberries (or any other dried fruit you have on hand)
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- salt & pepper
- Halve squash, remove seeds, and coat with a little bit of olive oil & cinnamon. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 1 hour
- Meanwhile prepare filling by combining cooked quinoa and toasted walnuts in mixing bowl
- Saute onion, celery and garlic in a little olive oil on stovetop until slightly transparent
- Add herbs, salt & pepper to onion mixture and allow to saute for another minute or two, then add to mixing bowl with quinoa and walnuts. Add cranberries to this, as well.
- When squash is baked, remove from oven and scoop out flesh, leaving enough to allow skin to maintain its shape
- Coarsely chop the squash you have scooped out of the skin and add to mixing bowl (I actually do this with a spoon, in the bowl). Stir to combine mixture.
- Fill each squash half with the quinoa mixture. Bake in 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes.

Best Underwater Cameras for Christmas 2016Dec 15
Best Cameras for Underwater Photography & Video
12 Ideas For the holidays of 2016
By Scott Gietler, Owner Bluewater Photo
Which underwater camera to get? With so many great cameras, lenses and housings out there, the decision is tough. Here are some models that you can't go wrong with for all budgets, whether your shooting stills or underwater video- and we'll mention some runner-ups at the end of the article.
#1 Best deal, $1400 off
Olympus OM-D E-M1 bundle
The Olympus OM-D E-M1 underwater housing bundle is the deal of the year, selling for $1,699 instead of $3,106. It includes the E-M1 mirrorless camera (which is an awesome high-end camera!), 14-42mm lens, housing, port, & zoom gear for the 14-42/9-18mm lenses. The E-M1 focuses much faster than any compact cameras. The ports are much easier to change than the E-PL5 or E-PL7 housings, making this deal a no-brainer. Additional glass and acrylic ports are available for most mirrorless lenses. We also have a popular E-M1 package with a strobe and video light.
#2 Entry Level, Snorkeling or Diving
Olympus TG-4
The Olympus TG-4 housing + camera package is well priced at $649. The TG-4 shoots in RAW, and can take quite good photos & video for such an inexpensive camera. It will work well with high quality wet lenses such as the UWL-04 fisheye lens, or the Bluewater +7 macro lens. Check out our great Olympus TG-4 packages on sale.
#3 Small housings, serious underwater photos
Sony RX-100 V for wide / video, Canon G7X Mark II for a little of everything
The tiny Sony RX-100 V can take excellent photos, especially when combined with the Dyron Superwide lens for very good wide-angle. There is also a good selection of Sony RX-100 V underwater housings for it, including the inexpensive Fantasea RX100 V housing. People who prefer wide-angle over video can save money by getting a Sony RX100 II camera & housing with the UWL-04 fisheye lens - which is my favorite combo for underwater wide-angle with a compact camera. For macro enthusiasts, the older Canon G16 is still king, with its long zoom range allowing for great prize-winning macro shots with a wet lens. Check out, at $399, the very well-priced Fantasea G16 housing.
The Canon G7x Mark II can take great video, and very good macro & wide-angle, and is an excellent all-around compact camera choice. It has a better zoom range / macro capability that the RX100 III/IV/V, and a brighter lens than the RX100 II, and there are some very well-priced high-quality housing like the Fantasea G7X Mark II housing. See our G7x Mark II housings.
#4 Small housing- professional photos
Olympus E-M5 Mark II, Sony A6300
The Olympus E-M1 & E-M1 Mark II are still the king of mirrorless cameras, with great E-M1 housing choices (read our E-M1 review) and an excellent selection of lenses. The Aquatica E-M1 housing is incredible. To save a decent amount of money, go for the Nauticam Olympus E-M10 Mark II and you'll get the same image quality. The excellent E-M1 Mark II camera just came out, here is our E-M1 Mark II camera review. We expect underwater housings to arrive very soon, pre-order the Nauticam E-M1 Mark II here.
Sony A6300
The Sony A6300 boasts a larger sensor than the Olympus E-M1, resulting in spectacular video quality and dynamic range in wide-angle photos. The A6300 has an electronic viewfinder, takes excellent 4K video, and works well in the Nauticam Sony A6300 housing and the Ikelite A6300 housing ($975).
#5 Small housing- professional stills & videos
Sony A7 II, A7s II, A7r II
The Sony A7r II is considered the ultimate choice by some underwater photographers and videographers. There is a great selection of housings and lenses, and the full frame sensor produces incredible stills and videos. We recommend the A7R II over the A7, as the 42 megapixels will come in handy for both wide-angle and macro, high ISO performance and dynamic range are both great given the smaller pixel size, and the video features are almost as good as the A7S II. The downsides are slower responsiveness in general compared to a DSLR, especially when using the Sony 90mm macro lens, and less than ideal battery life. Check out the housings from Nauticam, Sea & Sea and Aquatica - they support all 3 of the Sony models, or read our Sony A7 II / A7R II review.
#6 Best of the best
Canon 5D Mark IV, Nikon D500
With 20 megapixels, 4K video, amazing auto-focus, and 10fps shooting speed, the Nikon D500 is a top choice - view our Nikon D500 housings, or our complete D500 review for underwater. For the unbeatable image quality that comes with a 36 megapixel full frame sensor, check out our Nikon D810 housings and read our D810 review for underwater.
The advantage of the Canon 5D Mark IV is a full frame sensor, and much better auto-focus during video than most other dSLRs, view our Canon 5D Mark IV housings and our Canon 5D Mark IV review for underwater.
#7 Gifts for the GoPro Owner
Lighting packages, accessories
We have several GoPro lighting packages, including ones for best price, small size, and great power. We also stock most GoPro accessories & GoPro mounts.
#8 Best for Video
Sony RX100 V, Panasonic GH5, Sony A6500, Sony A7R II
The Sony RX100 IV & V both have game-changing slow-motion video capability – see an example here, and great housing options for all budgets. For professional level video, the Panasonic GH4 is unbeatable for its size, price and lens selection – we like the Nauticam GH4 housing. Stills from the GH4 are also excellent – check out these killer hammerhead photos taken with the GH4. However, you may want to wait for the GH5 which is coming out soon.
The full-frame Sony A7R II can take video at an ISO higher than any other camera we mention in this article, and we expect this camera to also be a top choice for pro film makers. The RX100 IV / V, LX100, GH4 and Sony A7R II all take 4K video. Last, but certainly not least, the Canon 5D Mark IV is the best choice for a dSLR that offers good auto-focus during video.
#9 Other options for underwater photography
Sony RX100 IV, LX100, Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II, 7D Mark II
There are other excellent cameras out there, like the Sony Rx-100 IV, LX100, Olympus E-M5 Mark II, and the Canon 7D Mark II. All of them are very capable of excellent photos and/or video. The white balance of the LX100 during video is suberb – see our uw video and LX100 review. The E-M5 Mark II is a very close contender to the E-M1 – read our E-M5 Mark II review for underwater. The full-frame sensor of the Canon 5D Mark III and Canon 5DS R can result in spectacular photos, and Canon has some of the best full-frame wide-angle lenses on the market as options. The autofocus of the Canon 7D Mark II works quite well during video and live-view.
#10 In-depth articles on the best cameras
You can also read our three in-depth articles on the best camera choices for underwater photography for 2016 – best compact cameras for underwater photography, best mirrorless cameras for underwater photography, and best dSLR cameras for underwater photography.

Friday morning I had one of those I'm-a-woman breakdowns. Where everything is wrong but nothing even went wrong. They happen at least twice a year.
So Jake found a babysitter and took me out that night. On the way to dinner there was this huge rainbow. It was so, so cool… this is a phone picture so it's not even kind-of as cool as it was in real life… but you could see every color of the rainbow so clearly and it was so bright.
For our date we did a little window shopping while we waited for our table, shared salmon and cheesecake, and then saw the Martian at the dollar theater.
We were out for like 6 hours and they were the best 6 hours of my week! I'm so thankful for a husband who is starting to really understand what I need because it was such a perfect night. I even did one of those loud and embarrassing bursts of laughter in the restaurant because he made me laugh so hard!

Could 1
If you are not the free person you want to be, you must find a place to tell the truth about that. To tell how things go for you. Candor is like a skein being produced inside the belly day after day, it has to get itself woven out somewhere. You could whisper down a well. You could write a letter and keep it in a drawer. You could inscribe a curse on a ribbon of lead and bury it in the ground to lie unread for thousands of years. The point is not to find a reader, the point is the telling itself. Consider a person standing alone in a room. The house is silent. She is looking down at a piece of paper. Nothing else exists. All her veins go down into this paper. She takes her pen and writes on it some marks no one else will ever see, she bestows on it a kind of surplus, she tops it off with a gesture as private and accurate as her own name.

Written by Sharon on September 23, 2015
Eight weeks ago I didn't know very much about sous-vide cooking. Most of us have only seen the technique on shows like Masterchef. The fancy Michelin star restaurant chefs have been doing it for years. Because of the size and high cost of equipment, sous vide has been out of reach for mainstream home cooks, but not anymore! If you follow us on Instagram you may have seen all the sous-vide dinners I have been posting online. I have been cooking up a storm with a quirky little gadget called a Codlo.
Sous-vide in French means under vacuum. Food cooks vacuum sealed in a plastic pouch immersed in a temperature controlled water environment. It isn't necessary to own a vacuum sealer, sous-vide will also work with BPA free zip lock bags using water to disperse the air. Some foods can even be cooked in a heat resistant jar.
The Codlo is a gadget that transforms an existing analogue cooking device into a sous-vide machine. The most common devices used are slow cookers or rice cookers. This makes it a great space saver! Codlo is a bit like a electric thermostat with a timer. When attached to a water filled cooking device it will allow that device to reach and maintain a desired cooking temperature.
Sous-vide cooking temperatures are low and slow, usually between 50-85 degrees celsius. The exact temperature and timing depends on what you're cooking. If desired, food can be finished off very quickly in hot pan to give it some colour. The result you get from cooking this way is wonderful succulence as food cooks evenly from edge to edge. Steak is so tender you can cut it with a butter knife, lamb is pink and moist, and chicken breast is incredibly tender. You can cook almost anything sous-vide including vegetables, legumes and seafood. It sounds a bit chef-y for home cooking, but it is actually quite simple.
Codlo is easy to use. Your water-filled device plugs into the Codlo which then plugs into a powerpoint. The temperature sensor is placed into the water. Temperature and time are set by pressing on the soft touch pad surrounding the LCD display screen. After you turn on your device and press start, the water will heat. When it reaches the set temperature the Codlo will beep to remind you to put in your food. The cooking temperature will be maintained for the cooking time and the Codlo will beep when its finished. That's it!
To get into the swing of cooking I downloaded the free Ultimate Guide to Sous-Vide written by Codlo's creator Grace Lee. The guide resolved all the mystery around sous-vide providing cooking temperatures and times for different cuts of meat, vegetables and legumes. Grace's instructions are easy to follow, I have even developed new skills like pasteurisation and quick chilling food for storage. The 36 inspiring recipes got me up to speed and cooking confidently. This is a great guide for anyone looking to get into sous-vide cooking. To get myself started I chose something really simple, the 63 degree egg!
Eggs are poached in their shell for one hour at 63 or 64 degrees. When the hour is up just crack them straight onto a slice of toast. The family watched on in amazement the first time I did this. I felt like Heston when they gave me a big round of applause. While 63 degrees is a popular cooking temperature for eggs, I like mine at 64 degrees as the white is a little more set. The texture of sous-vide eggs is just amazing.
It didn't take long before I was serving up tender veal and chicken breast. I have even cooked beetroot, pumpkin and chickpeas with the Codlo for salad dishes. The family have also been impressed by sous-vide duck breast and kangaroo fillet. They even gave me a standing ovation for an incredibly tender piece of good quality rump steak as I was previously a lousy steak cook. Most recently I used the Codlo to make some perfectly poached pears for dessert in some vintage fowlers jars.
I trialled Codlo with both my existing slow cooker and rice cooker. The rice cooker was by far the better performer. It heated the water relatively fast and retained correct cooking temperature on point.
Overall Codlo has been a simple gadget to use. The only minor issue I found has been the alarm volume. It's a little low and can be hard to hear over any background noise. This has been noted by the creator as something to work on in future builds. Codlo stores neatly with the temperature sensor wrapping around the unit and clipping in place. It is manufactured in the UK but you can order a model to fit Australian and other international power points.
Codlo would suit enthusiastic home cooks. The way Codlo works using a temperature sensor makes me think it may have some extra potential. It may be useful when making ricotta or yoghurt. You could possibly even use it to keep food warm at a safe temperature for serving. These are a few options I am yet to explore.
The biggest bonus I have noticed with sous-vide cooking, aside from the succulent food, has been the reduced amount of hands on cooking time in the kitchen. Cooking times are longer than traditional methods but much less laborious. I also feel the method has steered me towards healthier cooking as its possible to cook leaner cuts of meat tenderly without overcooking. The unexpected surprise has been how easy it is to cook sous-vide, so watch this space for some upcoming sous-vide recipes!
Codlo retails for around $260AU plus shipping. Visit the Codlo website for more information.

Crystals will work with you through a spectrum of resonating frequencies & will interface with your Etheric & Bio-energetic fields whether you understand, believe or dont. However in saying that, there is a greater connective force if there is focussed conscious intention.
What is Laying-on-of-Stones Laying-on-of-Hands? Laying-on-of-Stones Laying-on-of-Hands is a specific technique which involves placing crystals on specific points of the body & around the body in ancient symbolic geometry called arrays. The multi-dimensional arrangements coupled with the Crystalline Formations provide for an energy that works simultaneously with the multi-facets of a person & help to harmonise conflicting elements in the body, mind, and spirit. Melody's extensive understanding of the Mineral Kingdom has led to worldwide interest through her series of books. This in turn led to Melody Formulating these workshops based on the manual 'Laying-on-of-Stones' & sharing her Methodologies & Techniques, through her Level I & Level II Practitioner Certification Workshops
What can I expect from this workshop? Based on the manual 'Laying-on-of-Stones The Journey Continues' & Formulated by Melody, the workshops are about making Crystology real for those that take part. All who have participated, from novice to practise have found there are many things to learn & have found great growth for themselves & the work that they do. These workshops allow participants first hand experience as both the Facilitator & as Recipient. It's important to realise that feeling, seeing, knowing from both sides is crucial if you are to successfully practise these methods. It's through experience that we learn the most about ourselves & others.
What preparation is reccomended for the workshop? Cleanse & Attune to your crystals, sit with them, handle them lots before you get to the workshop
You should have a basic knowledge of at least the crystals you have intuitively selected to bring with you, for example name / properties. Do try to get hold of Melody's book - Laying-on-of-Stones The Journey Continues. Hand-outs from the book will be available for use, so please do not worry if you cannot get a copy prior to the workshop. Take a look through our shop 'The Crystal Kaleidoscope' which is another valuable resource. Giving you a taste of what is contained within the pages of Love is in the Earth series... there you will find crystals categorised by colour of corresponding chakra & detailed descriptions including Mineralogical & Metaphysical properties, Healing Lore, Keywords & Alchemical values. Find the Crystal Links section of our website, Ive put together a selection of crystal shops & good references for your information... have a browse... but most importantly always go with your intuition (it's never wrong!)
Is there an assessment? All participants are in continual assessment throughout every aspect & stage of the workshop including homework. Each student must demonstrate his knowledge & understanding throughout observation & participation.
Ongoing Development Were also planning some half day workshops for qualified practitioners focusing in on specific aspects taught within Level 2. For example half a day on Tibetan Pulsing or Jin Shin Jyutsu or exploring further into the Great Mystery. We are also planning a few introductory days to Melody's Methodologies which may be of interest. Lots of great happenings planned for the next 12 months!

Ginglebelle has apparently decided enough is enough and is taking a firm hand (paw?) with Mr. Morty. He torments her from morning to night and I really don't think he is trying to be mean but he is still a kitten and wants to play. In kitty years Ginglebelle and I are about the same age and it takes more than a little catnip to get us to chase a ball. Every time Ginglebelle tries to take a nap (23 out of 24 hrs) Morty is either biting her tail, putting his paw in her ears or sitting on her while trying to get her attention. The sliding door in my bedroom has a glass panel insert with a pet door which allows them on the screened porch. Gingles was minding her own business out on the screened porch and idiot child (Morty) spied her through the glass so of course he had to be on the porch too. Gingles waited until Morty was engrossed in watching a squirrel and then she flew through the pet door to get back inside and away from the demon kitty. Once inside she sat right next to the pet door which prevented Morty from following. If kitties had fists I would say Morty was pounding on the door and Gingles totally ignored him. She continued blocking the door with her back while she washed her paws and ears and gave me a, "What..is there a problem look?" Then she then laid down (still blocking the door) and took her nap in peace. I'm pretty sure I heard her laugh.

So did the email replace the conventional mail? A question worth asking and the answer is both yes and no. There are reasons why conventional mail is still around and one of them is receiving tangible goods, or published work, but also it is used for purposes of the law, such as law suits and other related matter which confirms that the person received the mail, for purposes of the law. But since email came out, it caused a revolution, in speeds in which information is sent, from images, audio, and video files and that made our lives easier, drastically and now even the law accounts for email as evidence.
Since we have established the importance of email and the law and that it has changed our lives substantially, we will move to the business aspect of email and I am sure we have all had a problem with "spam" and this is unlawful advertisement of products or services, regardless of their nature, and by that I mean the content of the ads tend to be inappropriate, surely we've all received it at some point in our email accounts at some point in time.
E-mail marketing and email advertising isn't spam, and that is usually done through a service called email "shots", and the process is that emails are gathered through certain sources, and narrowed down to the targeted segment, or group, age, location, gender and other details, since the internet taps on more than just that, such as internet surfing habits and so on, if the email is used on various networks such as social networks or blogging purposes etc...
With constant advances professionals have more advanced methodologies, like every trade, this too has its secrets, mostly media companies have email service related to business and some smaller businesses also provide it, but you don't want to be handing yourself to anyone, usually a fully rounded media company provides the best service, because they also have a certain kind of clients that any customer approaching would desire, so money well spent in the right place is better than that wasted or saved with little or no results. The email business is only one of many methods of putting yourself out, and being heard since everything online you must charge your advertising online from every direction against the competition, from using the social media, marketing strategies through online media, or online ads and email marketing and advertising, in a world full of competition, compete to stand out.

Bangalore: ICICI Bank Ltd., India's largest private bank, said on Thursday its quarterly profit fell 13.4% on falling treasury yields, even as demand for house and car loans picked up.
The decline in net profit to Rs11 billion ($237 million) for the December quarter, from Rs12.7 billion ($273 million) a year earlier, was less than expected.
Total income fell 25%, to Rs77.6 billion ($1.7 billion), from Rs103.5 billion . Income from its holdings of treasuries — government bonds and bills — fell to zero from Rs9.8 billion ($210 million) a year earlier.
India's tightly regulated banks were largely unscathed by the global financial crisis, but as liquidity dried up in global markets, domestic lending froze as well. After more than a year of government stimulus and stronger than expected economic growth, demand for consumer credit is growing and bad loans are falling.
"Because GDP growth is coming back you're seeing an increase in overall consumer and business confidence," said Vaibhav Agrawal, vice-president of research at Mumbai's Angel Broking. "Interest rates have come down 300 to 400 basis points, so overall affordability (of credit) has increased substantially. This was an inevitable kind of thing. It will continue to play out over the next year or so."
Still, ICICI's total loan book fell during the December quarter, to Rs1.8 trillion ($38.5 billion) from Rs1.9 trillion ($41 billion) the prior quarter. The bank trimmed unsecured retail loans and domestic demand for home and auto loans failed to offset weakness in large-scale project lending and loans overseas.
Chief executive Chanda Kochhar told reporters she expected overall credit growth to be flat for the fiscal year, despite double digit rises in home and auto loans.
"Home loan registrations are going up month on month. Car sales are going up month on month. These activities are seeing a huge increase," she said.
She said lending for large scale projects won't likely pick up until next quarter.
"A lot of financial approvals have taken place but a lot of projects have not taken disbursements," she said.
The bank also said provisioning for bad loans would continue to decline.
Cost cutting helped drive a 6% sequential rise in net profit, even as the bank continued to expand its branch network. Operating expenses fell to Rs13.4 billion ($288 million), 3% less than the prior quarter and 20% less than the same period last year.
The bank continued to improve the quality of its deposit base during the quarter, boosting the ratio of low-cost checking and savings accounts deposits to a comfortable 39.6%, from 27.4% a year ago.
Investors in India prefer banks to have about a third of their deposits in checking and savings accounts, as opposed to fixed deposit accounts, on which the bank must pay much higher interest.

Les activités de R-D peuvent jouer un rôle central dans le relèvement de la productivité.
L'innovation a un rôle essentiel à jouer pour stimuler la productivité et l'inclusivité en Australie.
Australia's strong economy has helped drive a healthy job market. But to avoid a future shortage of labour as the population ages, further efforts are needed to help older women, indigenous Australians and mothers with young children into work, according to a new OECD report.
The present report on Australia is part of the series on "Investing in Youth", which builds on the expertise of the OECD on youth employment, social support and skills. This series covers both OECD countries and countries in the process of accession to the OECD, as well as some emerging economies. The report provides a detailed diagnosis of youth policies in the area of education, training, social and employment policies. Its main focus is on disengaged or at-risk of disengaged youth.
Job displacement (involuntary job loss due to firm closure or downsizing) affects many workers over their lifetime. Displaced workers may face long periods of unemployment and, even when they find new jobs, tend to be paid less and have fewer benefits than in their prior jobs. Helping them get back into good jobs quickly should be a key goal of labour market policy. This report is the fourth in a series of reports looking at how this challenge is being tackled in a number of OECD countries. It shows that many displaced workers get new jobs relatively quickly in Australia, mostly thanks to a flexible and dynamic labour market. A small minority of displaced workers receive special support via the labour adjustment programmes, but some displaced workers who would need specific assistance, in particular in the older worker and/or low-educated groups, do not get sufficient support or only too late. There is room to improve policies by moving away from the current sectoral approach to special assistance programmes for workers collectively dismissed, towards an approach covering all sectors of the economy, with the intensity of intervention tailored to the circumstances and needs of the displaced workers. Expanding the training component for displaced workers and making use of skills assessment and training to better target the training and enhance its effectiveness would also help displaced workers transition to sustainable jobs of a certain quality.
The recent mental health reform is an important step towards better services for people with mental ill-health, but Australia needs to do more to help people with mild to moderate mental health issues at and into work, according to a new OECD report.
Les dirigeants des pays du G20 réunis au Sommet de Brisbane, en Australie, ont demandé à l'OCDE et au FMI de suivre les actions menées pour concrétiser leur engagement à stimuler la croissance économique et à créer des emplois.
We must be careful to ensure that G20 growth strategies not only boost growth and jobs, but also address inequalities. This requires win-win policies that combine strong economic growth with improvements in all those aspects of life that matter for people's wellbeing – good health, jobs and skills, and a clean environment, security, civic engagement, work-life balance, etc...
Selon une nouvelle étude publiée par l'OCDE, la crise économique mondiale a eu d'importantes répercussions sur le bien-être des populations, qui s'étendent bien au-delà des suppressions d'emplois et de la perte de revenus puisqu'elles influent sur la satisfaction des individus à l'égard de leur vie et sur leur confiance dans les pouvoirs publics.

New Delhi: India's largest oil marketing company, Indian Oil Corp. Ltd (IOC), said on Thursday its first quarter profit surged almost nine times as it benefited from lower oil prices and interest rates and posted foreign exchange and inventory gains.
Net profit in the June quarter rose 787.46% to Rs3,683 crore from Rs415 crore a year earlier, while revenue declined 21.32% to Rs63,521 crore from Rs80,735 crore.
Chairman and managing director S. Behuria attributed the profit "to stability and lowering of crude oil prices, which had a very positive impact on the oil marketing companies."
Extreme volatility has marked oil prices, that touched $147 per barrel in July 2008. The prices have declined 50% over the past year. Countries such as India are dependent on imports to meet their oil needs and are particularly vulnerable to price volatility.
India—the world's fifth largest energy consumer—imports 75% of its needs and accounts for some 3.5% of global consumption. It will become the third largest oil importer after the US and China before 2025, with its energy needs almost doubling by 2030, the International Energy Agency estimates.
Foreign exchange gains contributed Rs6,52.79 crore versus a foreign exchange loss of Rs1,590.50 crore in the year-ago period. The company also made a profit of Rs1,733 crore on account of inventory gains.
Its borrowing fell to Rs33,678 crore as of 30 June from Rs44,972 crore as on 31 March. The firm also gained as borrowing costs fell from around 15% last year to 6% now.
IOC's refinery margin dipped significantly to $7.36 a barrel from $16.81 as crude prices plunged.
Refinery margin is revenue earned from processing a barrel of crude.
"One is not sure whether under the present environment one can expect to see such trends continue into the next year. The environment continues to be fairly volatile," said Monish Chatrath, national markets leader at consultancy Grant Thornton India.
"One can expect to have greater clarity once there is a definite upturn swing in the global economy," he added.
The company posted a net revenue loss of Rs2,961 crore on account of selling fuel below cost. The company is at present losing Rs1.17 per litre, 6 paise per litre, Rs16 per litre and Rs96.52 per cylinder on petrol, diesel, kerosene and domestic cooking gas sales, respectively.
S.V. Narasimhan, director (finance), said: "We ideally need to generate internal resources of around Rs15,000 crore per annum to continue with our ongoing projects or there will be a problem. "
The state-run company also dropped hints that it was in talks with the promoters of Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd for a possible acquisition of the London-listed oil firm.
IOC shares rose 4.08% to Rs556.30 per share on the Bombay Stock Exchange on Thursday as the benchmark Sensex index gained 1.41%.

|Multiple Tomcat instances for virtual hosts
|Sat, 06 Sep 2003 12:12:16 GMT
Hi, I have Apache 1.3 and Tomcat 4.1.8 on a Red Hat 9 machine. Apache serves several virutal hosts. We have one Tomcat instance running with several web contexts, one context for each virtual host. Now I would like to change this to have one Tomcat instance for each virtual host (this is necessary because Tomcat sometimes crashes, and I don't want all virtual hosts to be down then). I read a book about Tomcat and searched the Web, but could not find out how to do this. What I assume is: In Apache's httpd.conf I have something (after the import of mod_jk): NameVirtualHost 220.127.116.11 (or whatever) <VirtualHost 188.8.131.52> ServerName www.xxx.com DocumentRoot /tomcat1/webapps/xxx JkMount /servlet/* worker1 JkMount /*.jsp worker1 JkMount /*.do worker1 </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 18.104.22.168> ServerName www.yyy.com DocumentRoot /tomcat2/webapps/yyy JkMount /servlet/* worker2 JkMount /*.jsp worker2 JkMount /*.do worker2 </VirtualHost> Then I will install Tomcat two times, in /tomcat1 and /tomcat2. The server.xml of each Tomcat contains different ports (for shutdown and for the connector for ajp13). The workers.properties should look like: worker.list=worker1,worker2 ... worker.worker1.port=8009 worker.worker1.host=localhost worker.worker1.type=ajp13 ... worker.worker1.port=8010 worker.worker1.host=localhost worker.worker1.type=ajp13 Is this all correct? Should that work? Thomas

Two blogs in two days? What? Yep. I just read the article from the Las Vegas Sun that discussed Vince Neil and his DUI sentence. As I mentioned in a previous blog about this, I love the Crue's music but these four idiots are the biggest f*cking babies. Seriously. Vince Neil states, "They were a little harsh in the sentencing," he said. "But they wanted to make an example out of me, and it is what it is. … It's not bad, but it's still jail. Jail is jail." Make an example out of you with a 15 day sentence? Who the hell is this guy kidding? I repeat 15 days?!
This is so damn ridiculous. I am almost at a loss for words. Poor Vince. 15 days in the slammer. I feel so sorry for this asshole. In my opinion this D-bag should not even be allowed to drive again. He's already killed a friend years ago in a drunk driving accident and the guy - 1) still is walking the streets. Way to go Vince. Good lawyers. 2) you still decide to get in a car and drive after drinking again...How many times has he done it and not been busted? Listening to him bitch about this truly pisses me off. If I or anyone of us reading this did what he did, we would have been locked up for years. When will Vince ever learn? I think the real question is how long until he gets arrested again for a DUI?
Why do we continue to give these guys any press at all? Is it necessary to interview this Vince? Do I really need to hear about Nikki Sixx's boring new book and soundtrack to the book? No. Nikki claims he's looking for new rock stars to sign when if you listen to his new song it sounds just as boring as anything out there today in my opinion. What do I know I am just a radio guy.
In all honesty I don't think I have ever wanted a group of rock stars to fall off the planet as much as these guys. Mick Mars is really the only guy in this band anyone should have respect for. I could be wrong but if you go back through the years I am pretty sure he hasn't done the dumb shit the others have...At least publicly. For once even Tommy Lee isn't spouting off somewhere asking to see some chicks tits. Speaking of tits...It was asked of Vince what attracted him to his girlfriend..He replied "her boobs". Oh the comedy. These guys are such idiots.
One last thing.. Why doesn't Vince quit drinking and learn to sing in key again.

Huron High School AP Biology Students Discover Tri-Trophic Interactions
On October 13, 2016, Amanda ran a program for 70 AP Biology students from Huron High School about ecological research at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens. The students participated in hands-on activities to learn about mycorrhizal fungi, plant defenses, and insect herbivores. The students then developed their own research questions and Amanda shared the results of her doctoral research.
Earth Week-Plus Expo at Cheboygan High School
On April 23, 2016, Leslie participated in an Expo at Cheboygan High School to celebrate Earth Week. Leslie worked with students and members of the public to describe the interactions between monarch butterflies, their protozoan parasites, and milkweed plants. To explore some of the decisions that monarch mothers have to make, students were invited to "pin an egg on the milkweed." Some plants have higher levels of toxins, which can make monarchs grow more slowly, but also help to protect monarch offspring from their parasites. So what's a mom to do? Students got to see what their decisions might mean for the well-being of monarchs, and how those decisions might vary under global environmental change.
Amanda Leads a Trip Below Ground
On March 6, 2016, Amanda Meier gave a talk at the annual Wildflower Association of Michigan meeting in the Kellogg Center of Michigan State University. Her talk was titled "The Far-Reaching Effects of Soil Fungi on Plant-Insect Interactions." Amanda discussed how beneficial soil fungi, such as mycorrhizal fungi, can have extensive effects on plants and insects above-ground. Mycorrhizal fungi associate with over 80% of all plant species and provide plants with nutrients in exchange for sugars from the plant in a mutually beneficial relationship. Amanda discussed the important role that mycorrhizal fungi play in interactions among plants, insects, and the predators of insects above-ground. She reviewed her research at the University of Michigan on milkweed (Asclepias) species and their insect herbivores, including monarch caterpillars and aphids. She concluded with comments on why we should consider mycorrhizal fungi in our own natural landscapes.
SEMBA Again
On February 17, 2016, Mark gave an update on monarch butterfly research to the Southeast Michigan Butterfly Association. This was Mark's third talk to the group, and focused on the lab's recent research on global environmental change. Mark described how changes in atmospheric CO2, temperature, and water availability influence the chemistry of milkweed plants. In turn, milkweed chemistry mediates the interactions between monarchs and their protozoan parasites. Mark compared the magnitude of these atmospheric and climatic effects with the more pressing problems of habitat loss and declines in the availability of milkweed. Mark concluded by providing some suggestions on how members of SEMBA might contribute to the conservation of monarch butterflies.
Science Cafe
In November of 2015, Leslie Decker and Mark Hunter hosted a Science Cafe in downtown Ann Arbor. We talked about monarch butterflies, environmental change, and medication behavior.

The uncomfortable tone of Eric Gordon's situation with the Hornets
Eric Gordon doesn't know when he'll return, and it's causing frustration to grow within the New Orleans Hornets organization.
|Everybody would like to see less of Gordon's suit collection. (Getty Images)
The Eric Gordon situation is frustrating for everybody involved, but the turn it's starting to take is making me uncomfortable.
When the trade of Chris Paul away from the Hornets was first announced and we found out that Eric Gordon was in the deal, many Clippers fans were wondering if it was smart to make that deal with the potential of acquiring such an injury-prone guard. Considering Gordon missed seven more games between 2009 and 2011 than Paul did, I can only assume Clippers fans were worried about the Hornets at the time.
Eric Gordon has been an up-and-coming shooting guard in this league for a few years now. People marvel at his talent and athleticism. They get dazzled by the tenacity and physical nature he displays when attacking his opponents. It feels like he's knocking on the door of stardom.
Because of his considerable talents, you hate to see him sidelined with various injuries, and that's all we've seen with him recently. Back in January, he was sidelined with a knee contusion for weeks. After playing for the Hornets on Jan. 4, he didn't return to the lineup until April 4. In between those times, he had orthoscopic surgery to clean out his injured knee.
Gordon played in seven of the final 13 games of last season and played well. He showed the fans exactly what everybody had been missing. Once the Hornets won the lottery and we found out Anthony Davis would be heading to New Orleans, it seemed like the organization was finally taking a turn in the right direction. They had a new owner, they had the best player in college joining them, and they had the restricted free agency rights to Gordon.
And that's where this seemed to take its first dark turn.
Gordon tried to leave for the Phoenix Suns. He signed a max-offer sheet with the Suns and practically begged the Hornets to not match the offer. Maybe he wanted to get to the Phoenix Suns' warlock training staff, which can turn torn cartilage into wine, or maybe he just wanted a change of scenery after being surprised with a trade away from the Clippers, which he found out about while he was on a bus with Clippers season-ticket holders.
Whatever the reason was, he wanted out of New Orleans, and the Hornets wouldn't grant him his wish. He was forced to return to the team. Since then, we've heard about what an honor it is to be a part of the organization and how much they're glowing about him. That was until he missed the entire preseason and the Hornets' first game with his nagging knee injury.
Jeff Duncan's piece today on nola.com was eye opening. This is not to disparage anything Duncan himself said in the piece or anything like that, but it read like people in the organization are trying to put it out there that they think Gordon is a wuss. It feels like parts of the organization have turned on Gordon during his time of constant injury and Dell Demps is trying to be the peacemaker.
Nearly two weeks ago, Monty Williams said Eric Gordon was unlikely to play in the final preseason games because he had to get his conditioning up. He had been out for all of training camp with a sore knee, the same knee he had surgery on in February. And now?
"He probably does feel pain; that would be the only reason why a guy can't play," Williams said. "For me to try to read an MRI ... I'll find out more as we go forward. I try to not get into all that because that would just make me upset."
Williams said on Monday he would check with team physician Scott Montgomery to ascertain if playing Gordon would cause additional damage.
"I've checked with Doc," Williams said, "but for him to explain to me what's going on with his body and then have Eric feel a certain way doesn't matter. You know what I'm saying? If Doc says one thing and the guy is feeling another, then you have to . . . what am I supposed to say?
"I'm sure it's got to be medical. A guy just can't not play. It's got to be medical. At this point of the year, everybody is excited to play. I'm sure it's medical."
To me, that sounds like Monty Williams is getting Gordon an ice pack for his knee so that the swelling is minimized when he throws his player under the bus. What has changed since Oct. 21 when it sounded like Gordon just needed to work on conditioning?
Why does it feel like the organization is trying to roast their max player in the media while Dell Demps attempts to find a fire extinguisher?
You would have hoped Gordon would have cleared up all of this confusion when he talked to the media about his knee, but he seemed to contradict himself multiple times and leave everybody scratching their head. Even before Gordon seemingly presented a riddle about his knee injury, the overall tone of the situation gave me an uneasy feeling.
The doctors say he's structurally fine but he's feeling pain. And at this point, the Hornets seem done waiting for him to play. With information like Duncan gave us in his post, it appears the organization is trying to absolve itself of any ire from the fans -- and putting it all on Gordon.
It feels like the team is setting up a sense of entitlement for Hornets fans to grasp. Many fans won't take the bait and will probably sit back and wait to see just how long Gordon is sidelined with his mysterious knee ailment. But there will be some fans tricked into feeling like Gordon doesn't want to be here, just months after attempting to sign with a different team.
There could be an uprising against the Hornets' max player, and any time he turns an ankle, bangs knees or comes up limping, we'll hear the provoked groans that are a natural fallout from how this story is being portrayed.
Yes, Gordon has played in just 13 percent of possible games with the Hornets so far, but he still has roughly 327 games to potentially be involved with over the life of his contract (not counting any playoff runs the team makes). The team went from glowing about his involvement with drills, huddles and everything team related 10 days ago to now having people question if he is a tough enough person.
I understand the frustration, but I'm not sure the uncomfortable nature of the things being said is the best path to take during his recovery.

In 1998, Janet Bristow and Victoria Galo, two graduate students of the 1997 Women's Leadership Institute at The Hartford Seminary in Hartford, Connecticut gave birth to a ministry as a result of their experience in this program of applied Feminist Spirituality under the direction of Professor Miriam Therese Winter, MMS.
Care and the love of knitting (and crochet) have been combined into a prayerful ministry that reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace. Many blessings are knitted into every shawl. The knitter begins each shawl with prayers for the recipient. Intentions are continued throughout the creation of the shawl. When the shawl is completed, it is offered a final ritual before being sent along its way.
As this gift has been sent along, some recipients have continued the kindness by making one themselves and passing it on to someone in need.
Thus, the blessing is rippled from person to person, with both the giver and receiver feeling the unconditional embrace of a sheltering, mothering God!
Some uses for the Shawl:
Undergoing medical procedures
as a comfort after a loss
during bereavement
prayer or meditation
commitment or marriage ceremonies
nursing a baby
as a bridal shower gift
leading ritual
first menses or croning rites of passage
during an illness and recovery
ministering to others
or just socializing
To make a shawl personal, the giver or the recipient may want to adorn the shawl with beads, shells, feathers, and charms. A blessing or ritual may be offered when the gift is presented.

Center for Children and Families (CCFI) has several opportunities for volunteers. The different activities range from one-time support to direct service opportunities for those looking for continuous, hands-on volunteering.

My son suddenly found a new neighborhood friend (we'll just call him Roscoe; no pun intended). Little did I know, this new relationship would bring additional responsibilities for me. One day my son confidently asked if Roscoe could stay for dinner. Why would he expect me to say no after all of the sermons I'd preached to him about sharing? Keenly aware that saying "no" would damage my credibility for life. I smiled and said of course honey but he needs to check with his mom first. After all, I had prepared more than enough and self-righteously I thought, it takes a village to raise a child.
Well soon enough, one invite rapidly evolved into a daily dinner guest appearance. I began to wonder if Roscoe was getting fed at home, considering no one seemed to mind that he'd been eating dinner at my house everyday for two consecutive weeks. Clearly (or at least in my mind) Roscoe's family was having financial issues and couldn't afford the rising cost of food; as if my situation was any different. With my profound insight and freshly shined halo, I surmised with no personal knowledge that there was definitely something different going on as I would never allow my son to eat at someone's home whom I'd never seen or met. My great parenting skills would never allow my son to eat at someone's home without calling and saying thank you so much. Yes, it was confirmed, I was an awesome mother and Christian.
One blazing hot summer day, my 18 year old godson; another overnights house guest, called me at work to tell me he and my son were locked out of the house as he forgot to unlock the door when he went to pick my son up from school. My godson informed me that he was calling from Roscoe's house. I later learned that my godson asked Roscoe's grandmother if my son could stay inside of their house until I got home to get out of the 100+ degree heat and grandma answered with an emphatic No!
Well lets just say, when I got wind of this, I was incensed. Silently, the conversation began in my head. I called grandma every not so nice name in the book. In my head, the rhetorical questions began. Are you kidding me? Really? I can feed your grandchild dinner and breakfast for a year (details are always grossly exaggerated when I'm angry) including Saturday morning breakfast visits when Roscoe seemed to always casually mention having only had a banana for breakfast. After all I've done, this is how you thank me, by not providing my precious babies shelter from the heat? This question and answer period seemed to last forever. Quickly fading was my desire to control my emotions. The internal battle was more than I'd bargained for. After all, I was a Christian and the mere fact that I was as upset as I was by such a trivial event meant I really didn't know Jesus at all.
With my new revelation, I decided that I would traipse down the street to Roscoe's house with my Christianity or lack thereof in tow and let grandma know just how pissed and heated I was. It was my Christian duty to bring this offense to her attention. Before I could open the door, I felt a heaviness within my spirit followed by an urge to check my motives. Defeated, I sat on the step and pondered why I was so upset. After a couple of agonizing moments, God showed me exactly why. Tearfully, I asked God to forgive me. As only God can do, I was able to see and then admit the ugly honest truth behind the anger. Simple; I would never be able to redeem the "You Owe Me" coupon, I'd inconspicuously created. Tucked away within the teeny tiny restrictions God had written the following:
Coupon not redeemable by persons seeking to please God. My grace and mercy is sufficient. My continual grace and mercy has always been and will always be provided in lieu of any expectation of payment at this time or at any time in the future. For you are you brothers keeper!

Home is where we all begin. It is the place that is filled with all of my memories like my first step. I can be myself without people judging me.
Each night I get to sleep in a warm, soft bed. Every morning, I wake up by the smell of my delicious breakfast. It is very fortunate that I have a comfortable home to live in. Some do not have a proper home or don't even have a home at all. Some peoples can't even afford a proper meal and have to sleep on the cold,hard floor. This is why we should be grateful of your home.

i kind of agree with carf
i can definetly see that u spent some time on this. Honestly i dont think u need to change to much with this. Still take his advice at learning how to bring more to ur tracks but i think what u need to learn for this song his how to balance levels of tracks in volume and in what speakers they come out of to make the song feel more full than it already is.
Keep up the good work though :)
P.S I forgot, do fix that high note track, it does sting the ears a little.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
happy vibes!
It seems that you are really proud of your own work so i will keep my review clean.
Basicly the overall track is quiet alive already, lots of things are happening, but the issue is that its only within one line, the higher sounds.
There is no variation in bass, kicks, highheads. Maybe a vocal would add already a lot to give this idea a bit more vibe.
overall its not bad, I assume that you are playing around with music programs for not that long now, but I see potention.
Learn how to bring variatie in a track and digg deeper, you wont regret it ;).
Yep :P
Ty! And ye.. I'm a Noob ^^
