Holidecor: Take Eleven
- Details
Final holidecor post on Thanksgiving! (next up: Christmas!!)
Below are some awesome centerpiece ideas for ya' as you prep your tables for a glorious feast! :)
a thankful tree filled with guests' notes of things they're thankful for and apple candles! (I've never attempted this but the idea is to hollow out an apple and place a votive inside)
Color themes! White and rustic or gilded and brassy!
decoupage pumpkins! (because of the previously stated love of Mod Podge)
Throwback Sunday
- Details
I know it's not a "Throwback Thursday" or anything but I've been sitting on this now for a while and it's too sweet not to just share. ~ V
Liam and Papa then.....
Liam and Papa now.... :-)
"The Family Stone"
- Details
We shared this on Facebook a few days ago and wanted to post about it here some more.
For as long as he's been walking, Mr. L has been an avid rock collector. We have a box filled with rocks of varying sizes, shapes and textures. And he knows them all.....as in: he knows when one is missing. ;-P
Lately he's taken to singling certain ones out and assigning them a role of some kind -- "baby rock", "big rock", etc. Now he's gone and named an entire family and it appears to be ours!
Happy Friday!!
Holidecor: Take Ten
- Details
Squeezing in an evening post to share some additional Turkey Day decoration motivation! :) That Thanksgiving is next week already blows the mind. November was swallowed up for us faster than we could blink! Looking forward to a wonderful time spent with family and loved ones!
I like the idea of doing this with fake leaves as I feel they would stand up to Mod Podge better. Seriously, how much do you love any excuse to Mod Podge something?? Or is that just me? Nevermind.
Excellent and budget friendly option for a placemat! How much do you love any excuse to break out Kraft paper and a black Sharpie?? Again, just me??? Moving on.
And this. This is not a decor item per se.....but it's pumpkin cheese cake snickerdoodles and when will I ever get to talk to you about that?? When I say?! ;-D

Thank You Husband

This is Alex's last paternity leave weekend - he returns to the office on Monday. We will definitely miss him. I mean, hello, it's not like he's shipping off....he'll be home by 6pm Monday night...but you know how it is. You get used to it being all the family, all together, all the time. ;)
I've said it throughout the week but then I've also been in and out of my own frustration at being cooped up and told to rest (I'm no picnic when made to rest) so who knows how much it's shown through at times, but I'm very grateful for all the help that Alex has been these last 2 weeks. Toddler wrangling, straightening up around the house, the occasional night of unexpected baked goods, newborn assistance....he's done it all and with no complaints. I can't ask for much better than that so thank you my love. Thanks for diving into our weekly tornadoes around here ~~ I speak for myself and the littles when I say, "We love you."
Random aside: My sister just texted to say she slept 16 hours straight last night. Thanks Ron. ;-P
Mr. Isaac and Mr. Alex, sharing smiles ;)
Family Of Four
- Details
We've had Alex home with us since last week and it's been really nice getting to all be together as we've transitioned to a party of four. ;)
Alex has been a huge help, especially in the first few days when I was mostly just physically exhausted. The beauty of babyhood the second time around is that you're more confident in what you're doing obviously plus you've graduated past rookie parenting mistakes (mostly). I have to say we've been doing pretty darn good! Now....what happens once I'm on my own with these 2 kiddos is a whole other story and yes, I'm definitely accepting prayers and good luck wishes for that. ;-P
More life in photos below!

Late night Friday post, say what! ;-P
It's actually only just after 8:30 here but when you've got kids, you know that late night is everything that exists after the kids go to bed for the night.
(party like rockstars! just kidding...we zone out on the couch half the time.)
This week's holiday inspiration kicks off the days of preparation leading up to Thanksgiving!! Oh glorious, glorious day. Pie, turkey, family, blessings. Pie. :)
natural elements in your table settings ~~ decorative to-go bags for guests and family
a string of lights with greenery woven through ~~ styrofoam balls picked up from local craft store with faux sunflowers glued on for hanging decorations
dark and dramatic centerpieces for an elegant Thanksgiving table!

Soooooo excited for Thanksgiving!!!
A day to reflect on all you are blessed with, give thanks AND chow down?

Woman beaten in library after contact with policeAugust 12, 2014 @ 7:12 pm
SEATTLE (AP) -- Seattle police say four men beat and robbed a woman at a Seattle library branch just hours after police talked to her at the scene of a south Seattle shooting.
Police say the men attacked the 21-year-old woman Monday evening in the lobby of the Rainier Beach library branch. One clubbed her with a handgun and the others kicked and punched her as she fell to the ground. The attack stopped when a library employee pounded on a lobby window. The attackers then grabbed the woman's purse and ran off. Police were not able to locate them.
Police contacted the woman at the scene of a shooting early Monday morning. Officers say they think the woman was present when an argument at a home in the Rainier View neighborhood escalated into a shooting that left one man with life-threatening gunshot wounds.
Medics treated the woman for cuts and bruises.
She told officers she had received several threatening Facebook messages after the shooting.

|Despite lack of name recognition, Butler no second-class citizen in NCAA tournament
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 21 March 2008 23:41
The Louisville coach was a believer long before the 11th-ranked Bulldogs went through South Alabama 81-61 Friday in the first round of the East Regional.
``Butler is a major powerhouse in the game of college basketball,'' said Pitino, whose Cardinals were beaten by Butler in 2003. ``I get insulted myself - and I don't work for the school - when they're called a mid-major.
``They're a major, major big-time college basketball team.''
No. 5 Tennessee advanced into the second round with a late-blooming 72-57 win over American and were rewarded with a game against Butler with a spot in the regional semifinals on the line. Sunday's other East Regional matchup in Birmingham features No. 13 Louisville against Oklahoma after the Cardinals knocked off Boise State 79-61 and the Sooners rolled past Saint Joseph's 72-64.
Butler set a school record with its 30th win, but has been hearing questions about its worthiness all week.
First, the NCAA tournament selection committee slapped the Bulldogs with a seventh seed. Then they had to listen to the college basketball pundits nattering on all week about the worthiness of all the mid-major teams in the bracket.
South Alabama coach Ronnie Arrow dismissed all that chatter after Butler hit 15 3-pointers to sting the Jaguars in a game that was over at halftime.
``Whenever you run up against somebody who hits 3s like that, they're going to beat some people,'' Arrow said. ``If they can hit like that against Tennessee, they have a great shot of beating them.''
Pete Campbell hit 8 of 10 3-point shots, hitting a handful from 25 feet. The Jaguars (26-7) played the Bulldogs close for a while, but Campbell beat the halftime buzzer with his sixth 3 to make it 47-30 and South Alabama never threatened again.
Like most seasoned teams, Butler displayed little emotion after the win. It was just another day, one the Bulldogs have been preparing for all season.
``We schedule stuff like this,'' said guard A.J. Graves, who scored 18. ``We went up to Alaska and played on neutral courts, we played in Conseco, Indianapolis on neutral courts. So I think this is just some experience that's come along with us. But you still got to go out there and play. There's going to be tough teams that come out and want to challenge you and you just got to try and do your best.''
Tennessee 72, American 57, East Region
JaJuan Smith finished with 19 points, Wayne Chism added 16 and Tennessee woke up just in time to avoid a big upset in the first round.
Ahead 53-51 with 5:45 left, Tennessee (30-4) escaped from a team making its NCAA tournament debut. The Vols held the 15th-seeded Eagles to only one basket the rest of the way.
Garrison Carr, the MVP of the Patriot League tournament, scored 24 points for American (21-12), even though the Vols threw five different defenders at him to no avail.
The Volunteers survived to play seventh-seeded Butler on Sunday.
The Vols felt slighted coming in, believing they deserved more recognition. Smith wrote ``No. 1 seed'' on his orange-and-white sneakers, but coach Bruce Pearl and Tennessee cost themselves with a sluggish showing in the Southeastern Conference tournament.
Oklahoma 72, Saint Joseph's 64, East Region
David Godbold scored a career-high 25 points, including the Sooners' first 11 of the second half, and they survived a late rally to beat Saint Joseph's.
Godbold and the Sooners (23-11), who had a 25-year postseason streak end last season, built a 19-point lead and watched it shrink against a Hawks team eager to prove it belonged.
Ahmad Nivins' putback for the Hawks made it 65-61 with 3:31 to play, then Oklahoma's Blake Griffin scored back-to-back baskets inside to double the lead with about 2 minutes left.
The Hawks (21-13) managed just free throws after that.
Longar Longar had 14 points for the Sooners, who shot 57 percent. Griffin finished with 12.
Rob Ferguson helped keep Saint Joseph's in the game with 21 points.
Louisville 79, Boise State 61, East Region
Earl Clark scored 15 points and Juan Palacios had 13 as Louisville cruised to the victory.
The third-seeded Cardinals rushed to a 10-1 lead and Derrick Caracter's slam made it 42-26 late in the first half.
Leading scorer David Padgett didn't even take a shot before the break and Louisville still breezed, helped by a dozen 3-pointers.
Coming off a disappointing one-and-done performance in the Big East tournament, the Cardinals (25-8) punctuated the rout with several late jams. They play Sunday against Oklahoma.
Matt Nelson scored 17 for Boise State (25-9).
AP National Writer Ben Walker and AP Sports Writer John Zenor contributed to this report.

"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me."
It is probably the most famous hymn in history:
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind but now I see.
Though some today wonder if the word wretch is hyperbole or a bit of dramatic license, John Newton, the song's author, clearly did not.
Newton was nurtured by a Christian mother who taught him the Bible at an early age, but he was raised in his father's image after she died of tuberculosis when Newton was 7. At age 11, Newton went on his first of six sea-voyages with the merchant navy captain.
Newton lost his first job, in a merchant's office, because of "unsettled behavior and impatience of restraint"—a pattern that would persist for years. He spent his later teen years at sea before he was press-ganged aboard the H.M.S. Harwich in 1744. Newton rebelled against the discipline of the Royal Navy and deserted. He was caught, put in irons, and flogged. He eventually convinced his superiors to discharge him to a slaver ship. Espousing freethinking principles, he remained arrogant and insubordinate, and he lived with moral abandon: "I sinned with a high hand," he later wrote, "and I made it my study to tempt and seduce others."
He took up employment with a slave-trader named Clow, who owned a plantation of lemon trees on an island off of west Africa. But he was treated cruelly by Clow and the slaver's African mistress; soon Newton's clothes turned to rags, and Newton was forced to beg for food to allay his hunger.

Alexander Campbell begins Restoration Movement
The sluggish sailor was transferred to the service of the captain of the Greyhound, a Liverpool ship, in 1747, and on its homeward journey, the ship was overtaken by an enormous storm. Newton had been reading Thomas a Kempis's The Imitation of Christ, and was struck by a line about the "uncertain continuance of life." He also recalled the passage in Proverbs, "Because I have called and ye have refused, … I also will laugh at your calamity." He converted during the storm, though he admitted later, "I cannot consider myself to have been a believer, in the full sense of the word."
Newton then served as a mate and then as captain of a number of slave ships, hoping as a Christian to restrain the worst excesses of the slave trade, "promoting the life of God in the soul" of both his crew and his African cargo.
After leaving the sea for an office job in 1755, Newton held Bible studies in his Liverpool home. Influenced by both the Wesleys and George Whitefield, he adopted mild Calvinist views and became increasingly disgusted with the slave trade and his role in it. He quit, was ordained into the Anglican ministry, and in 1764 took a parish in Olney in Buckinghamshire.
Three years after Newton arrived, poet William Cowper moved to Olney. Cowper, a skilled poet who experienced bouts of depression, became a lay helper in the small congregation.
In 1769, Newton began a Thursday evening prayer service. For almost every week's service, he wrote a hymn to be sung to a familiar tune. Newton challenged Cowper also to write hymns for these meetings, which he did until falling seriously ill in 1773. Newton later combined 280 of his own hymns with 68 of Cowper's in what was to become the popular Olney Hymns. Among the well-known hymns in it are "Amazing Grace," "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken," "How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds," "O for a Closer Walk with God," and "There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood."

Spreading granular seed and chemical materials allows your grass's root system to grow thicker, crowding out weeds and giving it what it needs to survive the stress of heat, drought and yard traffic. Regular lawn feeding, weeding, and pest control with a broadcast spreader helps keep your lawn healthy, vibrant and growing strong.
Need to spread larger yards? Brinly's BS36BH tow-behind broadcast spreader features a large capacity 3.5 cubic feet 175 lb. capacity hopper, ideal for homeowners and light commercial applications of 1 acre and larger. Its easy hitch pin tow behind hookup fits most lawn tractors so you don't have to do the heavy work. Use it year-round to easily apply granular seed, yard fertilizer, and lawn chemicals. In winter, use your broadcast spreader to apply salt, sand and other snow and ice melt agents.
The BS36BH tow spreader is built of durable, rust-proof polyethylene so it stands up to even the most highly corrosive fertilizers for years of dependability. A fully enclosed gearbox and stainless steel interior hardware, shaft and agitator, inhibits rust and corrosion, eliminating down time so you're on the job when your lawn demands it. The spreader's glass filled nylon gears feature a high-speed, 6:1 ratio providing the widest spread patterns at the slowest speeds.
Along with the BS26BH broadcast spreader, the BS36BH features a Patented Directional Spread Pattern Control, providing spread compensation for various granular weights (seed vs. fertilizer). It centers the distribution pattern, guaranteeing an even spread at the widest possible widths. The spreader's calibration controls are always within reach and feature a setting lock dial.
Brinly's Autoflow™ is a unique feature that automatically stops material flow when you stop your lawn tractor, eliminating waste and yard burn. So no matter what the season - spring, summer, fall, winter – Brinly's BS36BH has you and your lawn covered.

Exclusive Teaser Video for Arcade Fire's Reflektor
Byon October 25, 2013
While Arcade Fire's new album, Reflektor, officially releases next Tuesday, it's already receiving critical acclaim after it was preemptively streamed on YouTube yesterday. Recorded over a three-year span in exotic and familiar locales, including Jamaica, New York, Haiti, and their home of Montreal, and produced by LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy alongside Markus Dravs, who produced their last album, 2011's Grammy-winning The Suburbs, as well as Mumford and Sons' acclaimed Sigh No More, Reflektor sees Arcade Fire's genre-bending style running the gamut from dub to straight-ahead rock and punk to tribal rhythms and industrial dance. Here is an exclusive teaser video for the album, followed by the video stream of Reflektor in its entirety, set to footage from the 1959 film Black Orpheus.

GUILDHALL A Vermont sheriff is pushing for tougher all-terrain vehicle ordinances in two towns.
Essex County Sheriff Trevor Colby has pitched to selectmen in Concord and Lunenburg the idea of speed regulations, prohibiting intentional tire-spinning and requiring ATVs to be registered for road use.
Neither town has an ATV ordinance, but they allow ATVs on public highways.
Colby says his office has been getting a lot of complaints about unregistered ATVs speeding and cutting doughnuts.

Congressional panelists advise on DOD support for domestic disasters
A panel created by Congress recommends creating a central federal/defense data depository to track disaster response efforts and nearly 40 other measures to improve how the Defense Department supports civilian authorities for disaster responses.
The panel, in a Sept. 15 report, advised establishing a nationwide repository of data on federal military responses, developing a common operating picture to coordinate defense and civilian responses, encouraging sharing of response plans across jurisdictions, and increasing DOD's training and capacity for response to chemical, radiological, nuclear, biological and explosive disasters.
Congress created the Advisory Panel on Department of Defense Capabilities for Support of Civil Authorities After Certain Incidents under the defense authorization law of 2008, as amended in 2009. The Rand Corporation provided research and administrative support.

The panel recommended that the president establish a central data depository to track all federal responses to natural and man-made disasters. DOD also should create a data depository to feed into the federal depository that would include details on deployed military units and personnel, operations, logistical and transportation support, command and control, funding and related analysis, it said.
In addition, a central common operating picture is needed to support incident response.
"Civil/military coordination for emergency response is currently hampered by the lack of a common operating picture to which response organizations can fully contribute and which they can fully use. This is despite legislation to direct such coordination and communication," the panel report said.
The panelists recommend that the Homeland Security Department, with help from DOD, complete developing the Homeland Security Information Network and Common Operating Picture. The network has been in the works for several years.

The interest in a Common Operating Picture (COP) for emergency response capabilities has been a priority for the National Guard, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs, FEMA, and SECDEF since the Katrina events.The National Guard has developed and fielded a common database called the Joint Capabilities Database (JCD) that seeks to show capability and availability of the Guard's response capabilities in ten "core" capabilities. The ESF structure set by the HSPD-5 and -8 directives also serves as a platform for visibility of the forces and capabilities DoD brings to the table for domestic response events. The National Incident Management Structure (NIMS) sets a standardized approach within the Homeland Security/Homeland Defense, FEMA, DoD, Governmental and Non-Governmental communities in the response to and management of events, incidents, or conditions across the country. Another congressional panel that sets forth the same mandates as past legislative actions is simply another episode of our national interest in doing things today and forgetting we did the same things yesterday...Tecnology has given life to redundancy of efforts among governmental activities at a disheartening level. Too bad we don't leverage the systems already supposed to be in place instead of reinventing every legislative session that is influenced by the next group of bright idea lobbyists speaking for their governmental contracting clients.
To earlier comment - there are laws that deliberately segregate the jurisdictions of DoD versus DHS, thus the need for duplication. However, the National Guard WMD First Civilian Support Teams (22 people in each of the states) are DoD funded and supplied with the latest mil-grade Chem-Bio weapons detectors and countermeasures, yet the NG is under civilian command (i.e. governors). These groups are probably the best response we have for any kind of disaster, be it natural or man-made. In my opinion, DHS/FEMA are broke beyond repair.
Uh, isn't this what DHS/FEMA was chartered to do? And by the way DoD part of the federal government. This habit of DoD having their own little mirror-world duplicate of everything the rest of FedGov does, is one of the reasons the deficit is so high. It's All The Same Store, Folks, etc.

Ed. note- In lieu of screenshot descriptions, we offer you the following prices for games (which is the only thing on the page we could understand): Asheron's Call 2 (presumably priced to sell fast)- 20 Euros, Horizons - 8,50 Euros, City of Heroes deluxe - 20 Euros. There ya go!

The Agricultural Development Support Project for Zambia has a satisfactory outcome rating. The rick to development is low or negligible; the Bank's performance is satisfactory; and the borrower's performance is satisfactory. ... 更多显示 This project supports increased commercialization of smallholder agriculture through improved productivity, quality and efficiency of value chains where smallholders participate. The project development objective was not changed during implementation. With respect to the key performance indicators, the mid-term review noted that the National Coordination Office (NCO) faced issues in regularly updating the indicators due to unclear data collection methodology and analysis between the NCO and the project implementing agencies (IAs). The indicators were therefore revised to better link to the components and logically reflect the impact of ongoing activities specifically supported by the project. The revised key performance indicators were: i) agricultural exports for target value chains (tons/year); ii) targeted commodities produced by smallholder householders (tons/year); iii) smallholder households growing targeted crops (number); iv) average income per household in targeted areas; and v) direct project beneficiaries (number), of which females (percent). Improved value chain productivity, quality and efficiency were assessed using above key performance indicators in terms of increases in volumes and numbers. There are six major lessons learned from the project. First, innovations in project design, which the project had in the Market Improvement and Innovation Facility and Rural Roads Improvement Facility components, should address capacity limitations upfront in order to assure implementation success. In general, projects of this type need to take into account country capacity in project. Second, the OPRC-type contract, where road rehabilitation design includes sufficient resources and practical arrangements for post-rehabilitation maintenance for several years, combined in one contract proved successful. Third, the link between producers and markets is critical in a project that seeks to increase commercialization in agriculture. Fourth, strengthening government core functions can build private sector trust in government. Fifth, good continuous monitoring; periodic and regular evaluation; and quality impact assessments played an important role in learning from the project throughout implementation, and once it was completed. Sixth, flexibility and being opportunistic in implementation was key to the success of this project. 更少显示
Although a large literature discusses the productivity effects of land fragmentation, measurement and potential endogeneity issues are often overlooked. ... 更多显示 This paper uses several measures of fragmentation and controls for endogeneity and crop choice by looking at inherited paddy and wheat plots to show that these issues matter empirically. While crop choice can mitigate effects, fragmentation as measured by the Simpson index increases production cost and fosters substitution of labor for machinery, especially for small and medium farmers. Greater distances between fragments have a smaller effect. Creating opportunities for market-based consolidation could be one step to limit fragmentation-induced cost increases. 更少显示

This paper examines the determinants of agricultural productivity and its link to poverty using nationally representative data from the Nigeria General Household Survey Panel, 2010/11. ... 更多显示 The findings indicate an elasticity of poverty reduction with respect to agricultural productivity of between 0.25 to 0.3 percent, implying that a 10 percent increase in agricultural productivity will decrease the likelihood of being poor by between 2.5 and 3 percent. To increase agricultural productivity, land, labor, fertilizer, agricultural advice, and diversification within agriculture are the most important factors. As commonly found in the literature, the results indicate the inverse-land size productivity relationship. More specifically, a 10 percent increase in harvested land size will decrease productivity by 6.6 percent, all else being equal. In a simulation exercise where land quality is assumed to be constant across small and large holdings, the results show that if farms in the top land quintile had half the median yield per hectare of farms in the lowest quintile, production of the top quintile would be 10 times higher. The higher overall values of harvests from larger land sizes are more likely because of cultivation of larger expanses of land, rather than from efficient production. It should be noted that having larger land sizes in itself is not positively correlated with a lower likelihood of being poor. This is not to say that having larger land sizes is not important for farming, but rather it indicates that increasing efficiency is the more important need that could lead to poverty reduction for agricultural households. 更少显示

The development objective of the Sustainable Agriculture Transformation Project for Vietnam is to contribute to the deployment and implementation of the agricultural restructuring plan (ARP) by providing capacity building and organizational development to the sector and re-organizing production to increase value addition and sustainability of rice and coffee sub-sectors in two key commodity production zones of Vietnam such as Mekong delta and Central Highlands regions. ... 更多显示 Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: investments are consulted with benefited communities. For example, in Dong Thap, whether the project would invests on a low embankment to protect the existing storage facility or finance the elevation of existing ground to above flood level should be voted by local community; provide information on the recommended quantity of water used coffee watering, timing of fertiliser application, and solutions ofr reuse of crop by-products in an effective way, advice on the quantity, distance and types of trees to be planted to shield coffee trees; design of embankment include staircases on canal slopes at certain intervals to maintain canal water access; and the project should support planting of trees that provide shades for coffee trees to reduce evapotranspiration from coffee leaves under the sun; and Investments on infrastructure such as improving acces roads to farmland, irrigation canals, medium and low voltages, construction of rice storage facilities should be financed 100 percent by the project. Cooperatives can contribute in the form of land donations for storage construction. 更少显示
In many developing countries, consumption of animal source foods among the poor is still at a level where increasing its share in total caloric intake may have many positive nutritional benefits. ... 更多显示 This paper explores whether ownership of various livestock species increases consumption of animal source foods and helps improve child nutritional status. The paper finds some evidence that food consumption patterns and nutritional outcomes may be affected by livestock ownership in rural Uganda. The results are suggestive that promoting (small) livestock ownership has the potential to affect human nutrition in rural Uganda, but further research is needed to estimate more precisely the direction and size of these effects. 更少显示

Ratings for the Avian and Human Influenza Control and Preparedness Emergency Project for Cambodia were as follows: outcomes were moderately satisfactory, the risk to development outcome was substantial, the Bank performance was moderately satisfactory, and the Borrower performance was satisfactory. ... 更多显示 Some lessons learned included: there is also an issue with attribution when dealing with changes in the number of cases. For example, one of the initial key indicators in this project (the number of cases of avian influenza in peri-urban commercial poultry) had to be dropped because no new cases were detected in this sector during the course of the project. This was coincidental and not attributable to gains from project activities. Procurement and financial management arrangements for the engagement of the UN agencies in an emergency disease response project should be clearly established at the corporate level in advance. One of the crucial issues that remains to be addressed in Cambodia but for which some background work has been conducted (such as improved legislation and training in biosecurity for villages) is the weak control over poultry movements. Until such time as there is better control of movement of poultry within Cambodia and across borders disease outbreaks will recur. Limited controls on movement of other types of livestock also threaten the health status of livestock in the country. Detailed case investigations and monitoring provide opportunities to reduce the probability of emergence of a pandemic agent. The work undertaken by officers in Health Departments following detection of human cases provided the best possible chance of detecting any evidence of human to human transmission of the virus therefore allowing measures to be implemented to prevent its spread. 更少显示

This is a statement by Kanayo Nwanze, at the ninetieth meeting of the Development Committee held on October 11, 2014. In May 2013, the report of the high-level panel of eminent persons on the post-2015 Development Agenda (HLP) acknowledged that poverty is often characterized by exclusion both from decisions and from full participation in civil, social and cultural life. ... 更多显示 Earlier this year, the World Economic Forum identified income disparity as the risk most likely to cause damage globally in the coming decade. And, also in 2014, the International Monetary Fund cautioned that income inequality may lead to slower or less sustainable economic growth. These three analyses speak directly to the multi-faceted impact of unequal prosperity. Inequality robs people of the capacity to achieve their full potential. This unharnessed capacity, in turn, undermines prosperity for all and threatens social order. Addressing inequality, then, is not simply the right thing to do for those who are marginalized; it is also an investment in sustainable development and global security. With this emerging consensus around the critical need to address inequality, the international community will be well advised to scale up investment in areas that can generate the greatest impact on income inequality: agriculture and rural development. 更少显示

Under second economic development and poverty reduction strategy (EDPRS 2), PSTA 3's high-level targets are: agriculture growth of 8.5 percent per annum; the share of agriculture gross domestic product (GDP) reduced to 25 percent; and the number of households with good food consumption increased to 90 percent. The PSTA 3 comprises four strategic program areas and 24 component subprograms (SPs). The strategic program areas and their outcomes are: agriculture and animal resource intensification; research, technology transfer, and organization of farmers; private sector-driven value chain development and expanded investments; and institutional results-focused development and agricultural cross-cutting issues. Financed by the International Development Association (IDA) operation and co-financed by other development partners (DPs), the presented PforR program will support a time slice of the national PSTA 3 (medium-cost funding scenario), including its four programs and 24 SPs. The main focus of the PforR operation will be to support the delivery of the strategic results of the PSTA 3 program, while also providing value-added contributions to the content and processes required to efficiently and effectively implement. The PforR will support core components and activities of PSTA 3 while recognizing important linkages and synergies across the four programs and SPs. 更少显示

This note analyzes domestic obstacles to trade and transport in Nigeria and their impact on competitiveness. Among other sources, the note uses data collected during a field study on livestock and leather trade along the Lagos-Kano corridor, the main trade route in the country. ... 更多显示 Despite the absence of an international border to cross, the costs, delays and uncertainties faced by traders within Nigeria and along this corridor are high. As illustrated in the case of cattle trade between the northern and southern parts of the country, the available evidence suggests that unjustified charges and barriers along the corridor increase transport and related costs by around 18 percent, lengthen transport time by up to a quarter and create significant risks for traders. Such trade transaction costs also make it harder for products from the north to compete with imported goods, which arrive directly by sea in the largest markets in southern Nigeria. Combined with interventions to enhance productivity and quality, reducing domestic trade and transport transaction costs could improve the competitiveness of Nigerian products such as meat more efficiently than the restrictive trade policy instruments currently in place, which have counterproductive effects. As argued in this note, a combination of investment in infrastructure and policy interventions can contribute to facilitating trade and transport within Nigeria. Reducing trade transaction costs is also essential to ensure that economic activity does not excessively concentrate in the Lagos area and that growth is shared with the rest of Nigeria. For instance, trade in cattle for domestic consumption and exports of leather are already important and growing economic activities in Nigeria, benefiting millions in the northern part of the country. 更少显示

In 1959, shortly after the European Economic Community was founded under the 1957 Treaty of Rome, Turkey applied for Associate Membership in the then six-member common market. ... 更多显示 By 1963, a path for integrating the economies of Turkey and the eventual European Union had been mapped. As with many trade agreements, agriculture posed difficult political hurdles, which were never fully cleared, even as trade barriers to other sectors were eventually removed and a Customs Union formed. This essay traces the influences the Turkey-European Union economic institutions have had on agricultural policies and the agriculture sector. An applied general equilibrium framework is used to provide estimates of what including agriculture under the Customs Union would mean for the sector and the economy. The paper also discusses the implications of fully aligning Turkey's agricultural policies with the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy, as would be required under full membership. 更少显示

Understanding the trade-offs in improving the precision of agricultural measures through survey design is crucial. Yet, standard indicators used to determine program effectiveness may be flawed and at a differential rate for men and women. ... 更多显示 The authors use a household survey from Mozambique to estimate the measurement error from male and female self-reports of their adoption and knowledge of three practices: intercropping, mulching, and strip tillage. Despite clear differences in human and physical capital, there are no obvious differences in the knowledge, adoption, and error in self-reporting between men and women. Having received training unanimously lowers knowledge misreports and increases adoption misreports. Other determinants of reporting error differ by gender. Misreporting is positively associated with a greater number of plots for men. Recall decay on measures of knowledge appears prominent among men but not women. Findings from regression and cost-effectiveness analyses always favor the collection of objective measures of knowledge. Given the lowest rate of accuracy for adoption was around 80 percent, costlier objective adoption measures are recommended for a subsample in regions with heterogeneous farm sizes. 更少显示

The Emergency Food and Livestock Crisis Response Project of Chad has an objective to improve the availability of and access to food and livestock productive capacity for targeted beneficiaries affected by the conflict in the Central African Republic on the Recipients territory. ... 更多显示 This project consists of two components A and B. Component A seeks to improve food security for the affected communities and help them establish livelihoods by preventing them from having to sell their limited productive assets. This component will enable WFP to scale up its safety net operation for vulnerable households in Chad to cover 31,200 refugees/returnees for 12 months. Component B aims to restore and maintain crop and livestock production capacity among the affected populations in a context where pressure on the natural resource base is increasing rapidly. 更少显示
This Project Paper seeks the approval of the Executive Directors to provide an additional credit in the amount of US$75 million to the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia for the Regional Pastoral Livelihoods Resilience Project. ... 更多显示 The Project Development Objective (PDO) and project components under the AF will remain the same as in the first phase of the RPLRP. The proposed AF will expand target intervention areas to include well-defined geographic areas within the Arid and Semi-Arid Lowlands (ASALs) of Ethiopia that have been identified based on country-driven criteria. The AF will also expand the scope of the RPLRP activities to: (i) include Woredas (districts) of the Oromiya and the Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples (SNNPR) National Regional States bordering Kenya, as well as Woredas in Somali and Afar National Regional States in Eastern Ethiopia; (ii) include some additional interventions under each component specific to conditions in Ethiopia; and (iii) revise performance targets as reflected in the revised Results Framework. 更少显示

The development objective of the Andhra Pradesh Rural Inclusive Growth Project for India is to enable selected poor households to diversify and enhance sources of income and secure increased access to human development services and social entitlements. ... 更多显示 Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (1) selecting suitable varieties based on soil and climatic conditions as recommended by agriculture department; (2) using water efficient methods of irrigation like drip especially for horticultural crops; (3) following natural methods of storage pest control such as impregnating gunny sacks in neem oil, using dried neem leaves, repairing all crevices cracks in the godown etc.; (4) providing noise protective equipment to the operator of the machines; (5) using energy efficient equipment for processing (such as steam boilers in turmeric, steam roaster in cashew, or aqua pulper in coffee); (6) exploring the alternate uses for the wastes, in cases where they cannot be put to alternate use, disposing the wastes as per the prescribed procedures; and (7) organizing awareness and training programs for community and involved stakeholders. 更少显示

You can purchase my collection of short stories, High-Water Mark, from AbeBooks.com.
Over the weekend (Oct. 18-19) I participated in Marcato Festival's first Hackathon. I complain a lot about how few women are involved in technology in Cape Breton and, well, everywhere. Then my friend Leah Noble signed up, and I got all inspired, so I signed up, too. I know a bit of code, but I want to know more, and that's exactly why I signed up. To learn, and for the experience (and, ok, maybe the free beer helped to seal the deal).
So Leah, me, and Ardell MacKinnon, who's the software developer at Pure Project Relations, formed a team ahead of time, and decided we'd build an app for the Cape Breton SPCA. We called ourselves Team LOL Cats. Our skills divided up quite nicely--Ardell took the lead on programming, Leah, who's a graphic designer, made the app look good, and I wrangled the data. I got to play around with Petfinder's API and plug in an XML file to the app (an Android app, built in Java). APIs are big in librarianship right now, so I have been really wanting to learn more about them.
The Hackathon was a competition, but we honestly weren't in it to win. So when they announced our name, we were shocked. Happy, but really surprised. Turns out we were able to build an almost complete app in 2 days, and that really impressed the judges.
I won't go into too many details, especially since Leah wrote all about the day and our win over at her Dream Big Cape Breton blog. We were also in the Chronicle Herald, and CBC Information Morning interviewed us very early Monday morning.
Now we have a meeting next week with the CB SPCA and the app may get out into stores and onto phones very soon!
Cape Breton's CBC Mainstreet has a series called "Making a Difference," about Cape Bretoners who are doing positive things in their communities on the island. Alyce MacLean, CBC's freelance reporter, interviewed me for the series. We talked about writing in New Waterford, east coast stories, working (as a woman) in technology, and revitalizing the economy of the island by supporting local businesses. Here's the link to the interview! http://www.cbc.ca/mainstreetcb/making-a-difference/2014/09/23/making-a-difference-nicole-dixon/
I was asked to share a couple of stories about Alistair MacLeod for CBC Cape Breton's Information Morning. The segment aired this morning (April 25) and I remembered to record it. Yup. I had a scotch with Alistair MacLeod. Here's the story!
I have an essay in The M Word: Conversations about Motherhood called "Babies in a Dangerous Time: On Choosing to Be Child-Free." It's a non-mom essay in an anthology that's very mom-oriented--kinda like non-moms in a very mom-oriented world. Anyway, I'm heading to Toronto for the launch on Tues., April 15, 6 p.m., at Ben McNally Bookstore, 366 Bay St. I'll be reading with other contributors and there'll be a discussion. Gonna represent for the child-free! Woot!
After this I hope I never ever have to explain why I'm not having kids. I know I probably will, but, hey--wouldn't it be nice if I never ever had to ever again? Dreams...
It's official: I'll be heading to Dawson City, Yukon, next January-March, to be the writer-in-resident at the Pierre Berton House. The promise of 3 months to write and only write would tempt any writer to the Yukon in January...right? For more info about the program, you can read the Writers' Trust's official press release.
After Alice Munro's Nobel win, CBC's The World at Six did a segment on Canadian short story writers and I was mentioned!
I finally got a hold of the clip. Enjoy!
Nine is my favourite number! Which is only one reason why I was so stoked when Steven Beattie wrote about my story, "Saudade," for his 31 Days of Stories series.
All of Dixon's writing contains a strong feminist streak, and here she has built into her story its very own version of the Bechdel Test. "Sabine didn't act like women acted at parties," Dixon writes, "didn't hate Ingrid just because Ingrid had expressed an opinion which was outside of the things women were supposed to talk about."
I've been invited to particiapte in this year's FICTIONista Tour. FICTIONistas is a "collaborative project among independent publishers to bring together Canadian women writers". Several readings are held across the country. I'll be heading to Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton and Winnipeg where I will read from HWM. As well, I'll be hosting the tour stop in Montreal.

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick who has been dubbed the "Hip Hop Mayor" and is known for his wild mansion parties is caught up in yet another scandal. He is being sued by two former police bodyguards who alleges he ruined their careers after they launched an internal investigation into the mayor's marital infidelities and misconduct by other security officers. One cop is claiming he had to flee the city because he feared for his life.
The testimony so far has been riveting: Already, two former officers have cried on the witness stand. There were stories of clandestine meetings between the mayor and women. And one cop said he was so scared of retaliation that he put on a bulletproof vest. "I knew that my career with Detroit Police was over," former Officer Walt Harris said. "And I told two of my friends what I knew, because I knew I was either going to be murdered … or I had to get out of Detroit."
Also today, a female Detroit police officer testified that the mayor urged her at a party "to take care of my boy" — a reference to his friend, Bobby Ferguson. "I thought it meant in a sexual way or date him or give him what he wanted," said Officer Cathy Wright.
What in John Gotti Hell is going on in the city of Detroit? The mayor first made headlines a few years ago over a $25,ooo Navigator he leased for his wife with city money, and sources say that in another incident his wife allegedly showed up at one of the mayor's mansion stripper parties and beat down one of the strippers. Months later the stripper was found dead outside of her house in a drive by shooting. Whether it's true or not is questionable but it sounds like some ole' Mafia madness to us.

1992 GMC Sonoma Regular Cab GT 2dr Regular Cab SB
"Jenny" as we call her was given to me after my father passed away about 11 years ago. At first I didn't drive her for about a year. It had 33,000 miles when I got her. Then I started using her for work. She has a 2.8L V6 with a five-speed and pretty much everything you could get on one of these trucks. Everyday, for the next two years I towed a 3000lb generator load bank and close to 1000lbs of tools and equipment around. I was putting 1000 miles a week or more on her. Never any problems except brakes. When I stopped this job she ran about 20,000 miles a year for the next 7 years. After 300,000 miles I've only replaced a tranny 3 clutches, two alternators and I've never been stranded.
