Cheap maize insurance cover throws smallholder farmers lifeline against crop failureTuesday, March 14, 2017 20:26
As the impact of global warming becomes clear in Kenya, farmers are no longer certain of getting expected yields. Erratic rain patterns, outbreak of diseases and perennial drought have subjected farmers to huge losses.
Kenya is now betting on better-managed, better-fertilised crops covered for risks like flooding and droughts to boost food production.
On Saturday, the Agriculture ministry launched a 50 per cent subsidy on premiums in partnership with seven insurers to compensate maize and wheat farmers in the event of shortfalls in the expected yields.
A few years ago, insurance companies and banks launched covers for livestock and crops such as sugarcane, maize, wheat, barley, rice, tea, coffee, flowers and vegetables, but the uptake has been low.
Low literacy levels, high production costs, the complexity of weather-index-related insurance schemes has locked many, especially small-scale farmers from coverage.
The government is now betting on the subsidised insurance scheme to protect more from perennial crop losses.
Maize and wheat farmers with crop on less than a five-acre piece of land will be offered subsidised insurance cover should their expected yields fall by more than a fifth in a scheme offered by APA Insurance, Amaco, CIC, Heritage, Jubilee, Kenya Orient and UAP.
"This will encourage farmers to enrol for the insurance cover to protect them from losses caused by unpredictable weather patterns," said Dr Johnson Irungu, the director of crops in the Agriculture ministry.
Fredrick Muhorela, a small-scale maize farmer in Trans-Nzoia, said: "This is the best thing to have happened in the agricultural sector.
"Over the years we have been making losses without any form of compensation for the farmers, making it difficult for us to invest back in the next season."
The farmer added that the losses have always made them to scale down on the size of acreage under the crop due to a lack of enough funds, a move that has been detrimental to the national food security.
Under the subsided government scheme, a farmer with more than five acres of land will have an option to take cover for the extra acreage, but one would be required to pay the full premium for the extra acres above the subsidised level.
The cover caters for crops damaged by animals, insects, plagues, diseases and any other perils which may influence the yield quantity of the insured commodity.
Farmers are required to sign up for the cover ahead of the long rains planting season that starts next month and the second week of October for the short rains season.
The scheme is a seasonal cover and it starts when the season begins at the onset of rains and ends at the completion of the crop period when the produce is ready for harvesting.
APA Group chief executive Ashok Shah lauded the government for providing subsidies on the premiums, adding that the cover would safeguard farmers' livelihoods that are often threatened by adverse climatic conditions.
"Smallholder farmers are the backbone of our agricultural production. However, in recent years, they have had to bear the huge risk that comes with effects of climate change," Mr Shah said.
"The weather is no longer predictable and natural disasters have become more frequent, leading to huge crop losses. We aim to address this challenge to livelihoods, our bread basket and our economy," he said.
UAP launched an agriculture and livestock insurance cover in 2007. The insurer's flagship product — Kilimo Salama, is based on index insurance that leverages weather information.
Weather index insurance is based on historical rainfall data in given areas to aid assessment of payout based on drought or excessive rainfall that affects average crop yield.
Experts argues that one obstacle to the expansion of whether index insurance schemes is the complexity and unreliability of the data.
In 2014, UAP extended Kilimo Salama insurance to area yield basis. Farmers who take up this insurance receive a payout in case the actual average yield in an area is below a set threshold.
In early March 2016, UAP paid out Sh20 million to a group of Kenya Seed farmers who experienced lower than average maize crop yield.
"The support of the government to agriculture insurance is a big boost to both enhancing the lives of farmers and entrenching insurance in our rural areas," said UAP managing director, general insurance James Wambugu.
Harvest history
Jubilee's chief executive Patrick Tumbo said that with the insurance, farmers can now concentrate on production and not the effects of natural disasters.
"Agriculture dominates 24 per cent of Kenya's economy therefore this product will be supporting the heart of our agricultural production.
"Smallholder farmers face vast challenges due to climate change, which is a risk that is uncertain. Jubilee Insurance is determined to help them live free of huge crop losses," said Mr Tumbo.
APA will use Unit Area of Insurance which refers to a specific portion of territory within a county for which expected yields and production shortfalls are determined, and in which equal or similar geographical and climatic conditions apply to all producers of the insured crop.
Each farm is insured based on the conditions and harvest history of the Unit Area of Insurance where the farm falls.
For instance, APA pointed out that farmers in Ngata zone of Rongai constituency would pay a subsidised premium of Sh1,367 per acre compared to drier Solai where premiums have been set at Sh456 an acre.
A farmer will be required to still take good care of his crop as they will not be paid for losses that occur only in his farm.
"You will only be paid for losses that affect a majority of farmers within your unit area of insurance," said APA.
At the end of each season, a specialist organisation hired by the State Department of Agriculture will be contracted to carry out crop cutting exercises, where the yield levels of randomly selected farms within a unit area of insurance will be determined.
The yield achieved in these farms will be used to determine the average yield achieved within a given unit. In case the harvest achieved is below the insured yield, then all farmers within that unit will be paid an equal amount per acre depending on the level of loss.
In 1970s, the government offered farmers a form of insurance that was known as Guaranteed Minimum Returns (GMR) but it did not work for long due to abuse by farmers, who would lie of having incurred a total crop failure in order to get money from the state.
The GMR ensured that farmers would earn something in the event of a total crop failure in order to enable them go back to farm in the next season.
The Kenya Farmers Association (KFA) welcomed the move by the State and the underwriters, noting that it comes at the right time when yields have become unpredictable in Kenya.
"This is the right step that both parties in the scheme have taken, it will go a long way in safeguarding farmers interests," said Kipkor Menjo, a director with KFA.
Mr Menjo, however, noted that there should be a lot of caution in implementing the scheme in order to ensure that it is not abused by the farmers as it was the case with GMR.
"A proper mechanism should be put in place to ensure that false claims are not compensated in order to avert insurance firms from making losses, hence leading to the closure of the scheme," he said.
Kenya is a maize-deficit country and relies on cross-border business to bridge the 20 million bags gap every year. The country relies on rain-fed agriculture for crop production with only half a million acres under irrigation schemes.
The emergence of maize lethal necrosis a couple of years ago saw farmers incur huge losses, especially in the South Rift where the disease was first spotted.
The disease affects maize leaves, making them to wilt at a critical stage when the crop has just tussled, stagnating the formation of the cobs. In 2014, maize worth Sh4.7 million went to waste while in 2013 the disease affected 26,000 hectares valued at Sh2 billion.

So my final days in Prague came to and end faster than I had expected but I'll save that for a later blog post.
Photo by pnoid00
Tuesday afternoon I arrived in London in the pouring rain and it was raining a lot. Ann has been saying that London weather is not as bad as people make it out be to but this day she was a bit off. I'm not complaining tho. Ann had cooked me a nice English meal of Shepard's Pie and showed me around our new home. Mmm, our new home. It's been almost exactly two years since we went on our first date in Prague and now we are finally living in the same country 🙂
The next day the weather was a lot nicer so while Ann went to university I could get out and explore the neighborhood. The picture above is of the house we live in. We are in the house on the left with the red door on the first floor where we share a two bedroom flat with an Aussie/Brit couple.
Our neighborhood is covered with streets of terraced houses – all looking the same but also very different. It's an interesting place to walk around and see how these maybe 80 year old houses have evolved differently depending of different styles and owners. Some are very nice and others are falling apart.
London is a very multiethnic city which also shows in our neighborhood with all sorts of exotic shops and restaurants. Compared to Prague which is very homogeneous (if you don't count in the tourists) it's a quite different atmosphere with all these cultures mixed amongst each other. On my trip I remember seeing Polish, Jamaican, Brazilian, Pakistani, Indian and South African and I'm sure I forgot a few. Also I've seen one synagogue, two mosques and a couple of churches and this place:
There is plenty to explore still and I'm looking forward to tasting the different foods and seeing what else there is to explore in this area.
Before I made it home I came across this piece in a school yard, "Share My World" – what a nice welcome 🙂

A Cultural Exchange
Article excerpt
"We hope tonight is the start of a long-term effort that will promote a scholarly and cultural partnership between your country's storied past and ours," NEH Chairman Bruce Cole told Afghan President Hamid Karzai at an event held in the president's honor at the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
'As a pivotal partner in the Silk Road trade of two thousand years ago, Afghanistan has been the home of one of the most vibrant cultures the world has witnessed," continued Chairman Cole. 'Artifacts, such as the golden hoard of the Bactria and the Begram ivories, reflect not only the creative genius of the Afghans, but the cross-pollination of cultures that the Silk Road wove through China, India, Egypt, Greece, and Rome.
"But in one of history's recent dark chapters, many of the treasured objects of Afghanistan's past were hidden, lost, or spirited away. It is our shared joy that many of priceless artifacts have been rediscovered and protected in these brighter times. President Karzai, we salute you for undertaking the difficult work of keeping Afghanistan's cultural heritage alive.
"We at the NEH have undertaken special efforts to support such brave work. We have awarded several important grants to preserve and document the art and artifacts of Afghanistan. New York University is creating a digital library of Afghan works from 1871 to 1930. Another grant helped fund a digital catalog of the Begram ivories. And in the last year, the NEH awarded a series of grants to the National Geographic Society to catalog the priceless collections in the National Museum of Afghanistan. …

The goal for this project was to remodel a 1923 cottage style house on an urban lake. The kitchen and dining area form one addition facing the lake. The original kitchen was on the back side of the house, away from views and light, and cut off from other living spaces. The solution was to add a single story gabled form which complements the original house. The vaulted ceiling allows daylight to be brought in from all sides and incorporates half timbering elements present in the original living areas. The height provides a welcome contrast to the low ceilings of the existing main living spaces. The second addition to the rear, includes a three car garage and the children's bedroom wing.
- In the kitchen, all of the cabinetry was recessed within deep side walls to emphasize the space of the high ceilings.
- Exterior arched windows were reused internally to provide a view from the kitchen into the entry hall.

It is rare for my Amazons to bite. The only bad bites were when they were tangled or trapped and I needed to help them get out. I lost some blood over those times. Even with the blood letting I kept talking softly. They did not mean to hurt me but they grabbed my hands to help them pull out. They were not responsible for causing me pain and I did not react.
Some times while playing they will chomp down too hard and I say "owe". They have learned that "owe" was said because they went too far and they will back off. They have even asked me "owe?" if I do not say it. They were asking if they went too far.
My aunt on the other hand is a screamer. Poke her with a finger and she will scream and call it being beaten. Amazons like noise. They makes lots of noise and will play with the toys that make the most noise.
Rambo would spend hours behind the toilet waiting for my aunt to sit down then jump out and scare her or even hit her leg. She screamed and he liked the noise. It became a common thing.
Myrtle also likes her screams. She will fly over my aunt and grab her hair or even just smack into her while flying by. I have to work with them both to teach Myrtle not to do that and to teach my aunt not to scream. The situation is improving because my aunt is not screaming as easy as before and Myrtle is loosing interest in making her scream.
The worst bite I ever had was from a cockatiel. Cockatiels use bites to defend themselves but Rosie seemed to like causing pain and she did it any chance she got. Since I had multiple birds in the cage it was hard to defend myself. I returned Curley after a few years when his last human was ready to care for him again. I sent Rosie with him. Curley was very social. My only hope is that one to one Rosie picked up some of it. Of course I warned that human about Rosie's abuse.
Well that turned into a long post. I have a habit of telling old stories as a way to explain myself.

The new Castrol 75W-140 formulation
The Synthetic Castrol 75W-140 is regarded as being one of the best multi-grade rear axle oils in the industry. It is designed to ensure superior protection of all the high-pressure metal parts. The lubricant makes it possible for the axel to operate in both high as well as extremely low temperatures something that regular mineral oils cannot do. The 75W-140 comes highly recommended by experts for the rear excels of the BMW, as well as 4WD drive axels as well as those that have limited slip differentials.
How can you benefit from synthetic oil?
One of the problems with the rear excels or the differentials of a 4-wheel drive vehicle is the fact that they vibrate a great deal. As the lubricant becomes old, the vibrations become more violent. Plus, it can have difficulty maintaining good performance. Conventionally used mineral oil will also not protect the metal parts from wear and tear. That's why the Castrol 75W-140 is recommended. If anything, it not just prevents damage when the vehicle is under load, but it also ensures a safe ride through bad terrain.
Get the axel oil you need today
engine-oil.ie sells an array of lubricants with rear axle oil just being one of the many. Experts and car manufacturers highly recommend the Castrol 75W-140, but we sell oil by other brands as well.

In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. 3 5mm 4 Pole Audio Jack Wiring Pinout. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. 3 5mm 4 Pole Audio Jack Wiring Pinout. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires. In case it needs full capacity to begin, it won't operate in any way.
Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system. Diagnosing an electrical short can be extremely tough and costly.

Spacing magazine is pleased to announce we have obtained the naming rights to the Leslie Street Spit Quonset Hut. Months of negotiations with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) — the municipal body that regulates the Spit — have resulted in this unique partnership, allowing Spacing to expand its reach and preserve a historic structure.
As of today, the iconic metal structure will be known as Spacing Magazine Hut. On top of purchasing the rights and affixing our sign — up as of 3:14PM yesterday — we will be restoring and converting the hut into a "Public Space Interpretation Centre" that will house both permanent and rotating exhibitions. Spacing Magazine Hut will be Toronto's premier physical hub for both thought and activity involving the public realm, a world-class attraction unique to our city.
This project began back in September, when I wrote an essay about this particular Quonset Hut for the Toronto Star's Ideas page. Though run-down, the hut is still as formidable as its World War II origins would suggest. When I discovered that the hut was to be torn down in the near future, the other Spacing editors and I felt compelled to act. We brainstormed ideas, came up with a plan, and contacted TRCA. Being one of the continent's most innovative conservation organizations, they were extremely open and receptive to our idea. Partially inspired by our friends at Toronto Life magazine, and their move last year that redefined — and renamed — public space by creating Toronto Life Square at Yonge and Dundas Square, this new venture is an exciting step for Spacing into the world of high profile branding and convergence marketing.
Most unique about our Quonset Hut, found approximately half-way out the Spit's five-kilometer length (officially known as Tommy Thompson Park, named after the former Metro parks commissioner), is it's likely the Toronto structure in a public space located farthest from privately owned land, making it even more of an attractive and natural a fit for us.
Apart from the exhibition space, we are most pleased to have secured a locally-built vintage 1961 Faema E61 Legend espresso machine that will also be installed inside the hut. Once an uncivilized land of concrete ruins and squawking cormorants, pedestrians, cyclists, and roller bladers will now be able have a robust and motivating coffee on their way out to Vicky Keith Point at the end of Spit. Though TRCA regulations prevent us from roasting our own beans on site, all our coffee will be fair-trade, supplied locally by Kensington Market's Moonbean Café who roast and create their own blends at their 30 St. Andrew Street location.
Spacing Magazine Hut's interpretive centre and café will open officially on Victoria Day weekend in May, just in time for a fantastic Toronto summer, something we have all been waiting for. So make a plan to come by.
Spacing Magazine gratefully acknowledges the assistance of the Toronto Economic Development Corporation and Industry Canada in this endeavour.

apple posted a table comparing the features of each version of os x, and one particular line item, "amd support," has caused quite a stir of anticipation for an "announcement." well, amd does not equal amd, at least not on the apple table. amd is an automount daemon feature, not advanced micro devices support. i read a number of postings on various websites that claimed hector de j. ruiz, president and ceo of amd, was going to make some big announcement during his keynote at comdex this past week … but it didn't happen. macosrumors is waiting to see why steve jobs keeps saying 2003 is the year for apple. something with amd (not amd) just might not be too far off …

stupid apple wishful thinking…. – by steve
|got to be kidding? (1:21pm est wed nov 27 2002)
jobs says next year is pivotal to apple and the best he has is some digital lifestyle devices (dld's). good luck in turning around apple's fortunes on a couple of accessories when the main product is at a low point.
the article also speculates that apple is hedging its bets in case motorola can't deliver. hello!! they haven't delivered. they are years behind amd and intel in developing competitive processors and continue sticking with them will be apple's demise.
all i want is the best os, osx, on an amd chip. please. – by business geek
|amd or ppc (1:30pm est wed nov 27 2002)
i think apple has no choise to go little endian like all the others do…
ppc becomes too costly and slow.
don't get me wrong i am a apple user and saw most cards and devices become the same as used in a pc.
i think they are on a dead end hardware wise, they need double even quadruple cpu's to keep up with a middle of the road little endian machine like amd or intel.
i prefer amd but thats personal.

|dx8 (1:56pm est wed nov 27 2002)
thanks bassie,
i try to explain litte endian, vs. big or bi to mac users in my profession all the time. and that quick draw is irrelevant. all they want to hear is how great altivec is!. ugh.
anyway, they should go little, and port aqua to opengl or direct x8 so that all of the pretty interface bits can run under full hardware acceleration.

|endians (2:14pm est wed nov 27 2002)
little endian and big endian has to do with the way words (several bytes)are handled and treated by the cpu.
it's a bit like roman counting and arabic counting which we all adapted in the end.

|dump motorola switch to amd. (3:27pm est wed nov 27 2002)
i would love to see apple stop using motorola chips, as they are years out of date. apple needs to use amd. intel would be a bad choice. a 64-bit processor is the way to go. a hammer cpu is 30% faster at the same clock speed as athlon xp, without any software optimizations. os optimizations will speed it even more. – by pc abuser
|apple just might be a worthy opponent. (3:32pm est wed nov 27 2002)
for years apple has been slowly lagging behind intel and amd in terms of processor speed. their fastest processor currently available, the g4, slugs around at 800mhz. meanwhile amd's athlon xp 2100 is very adequate at 1.7ghz and intel's renound pentium 4 speeds along at an incredible 3.6 ghz. big difference. but a 1.7ghz apple powered by the athlon xp 2100? maybe i'll finally make "the switch". – by slimtubbydub09'
|i dunno about this (3:32pm est wed nov 27 2002)
i would like to see apple do something so they can stay in business but if amd goes over there and they 1 day take over intel marketshare or something then amd might have a monopoly on both platforms. this could also save amd and keep intel from having a monopoly also. well only time can tell. – by doom
|you know nothing (3:32pm est wed nov 27 2002)
apple will not choose amd. they are planning on using the single-core version of ibm's power4. it is 64-bit, will debut at 1.8ghz, and is backwards compatible with powerpc. – by monkey spunk

it looks like amd is getting out of the computer processing field. take a look.

|2+ghz apples (3:39pm est wed nov 27 2002)
don't forget that the hammer is to ship at speeds starting at 2.53ghz. that is double macs current speed. a 64-bit architecture @ 2.53ghz = 1 fast mac. a dual processor model? we can only hope. power mac g64 anyone! – by bigmac
|to clause… (3:55pm est wed nov 27 2002)
from apple: "quartz uses the integrated opengl technology to convert each window into a texture, then sends it to the graphics card to render on screen."
the problem with people is that they like to talk bad about apple without even knowing it… use it, then talk…
p.s.: i am a pc and apple user… – by luciano
|um… (4:21pm est wed nov 27 2002)
they are currently running g4's at the high end at 1.25ghz dual processor, not 800mhz.
and p4s are 3.06 ghz, not 3.6.
yes, the fastest pc is faster than the faster mac in most tests, but keep in mind that a g4 at the same clock speed is significantly faster than a p4 or p3 – by jb smooth

i didn't know that quartz extreme had already gon opengl. that does explain the speed increase in some of the windowing operations. still, it does seem like aqua should run faster if it is running w/ hardware acceleration. – by clause

seriously, i know it's off topic. i've got a 933 qs. half way through install i get a black screen and the whole thing takes a dump. i've made sure that all the dimm's are pc133-322-620, the after market cdrw, was taken out and replaced w/ an apple oem dvd drive, and the hd is the factory drive. apple has not given me any other bright ideas as to what might be wrong. swaping the ram and using oem hd's solved the other 6 g4's that were doing the same thing.
if anyone has any bright ideas, i'd be grateful.
on topic, i thought only darwin was ported x86? won't they need to port carbon, cocoa, or some variation of the development tools too?
maybe they already have. – by clause

can you imagine? mac os x recompiled for x86-64 and running on hammer?
ye gods! – by songblade
|the future (7:15pm est wed nov 27 2002)
i think apple's should run with amd and have linux as their os just so they can truly head towards a dead-end. – by linux babies
|classic (7:29pm est wed nov 27 2002)
everytime i read these, one thing all the "clear crystal ball geniuses" forget is how classic (the mac os 9 portion) is going to be dealt with. that is tied way too closely to the ppc and 68k code is still dynamically recompiled as well. until classic itself can be fully depreciated and apple officially declares that dead in os x, you will not see an amd/x86 box from apple. and even if apple were to use an amd cpu in the future, the processor itself is only one component out of many. good example is back when apple was using the ppc604, ibm also had aix based workstations using that same chip. but it didn't mean the macs could boot aix or the ibm's could boot mac os. apple using intel or amd would amount to the same thing. – by pc ignoramus
|i think apple will use the… (8:04pm est wed nov 27 2002)
ibm power4. i think apple is running osx on x86 pcs, not macs. – by tech
|reality check (8:33pm est wed nov 27 2002)
i have a compaq p4 1.7 ghz and an emac at 700mhz sitting right next to each other. in everyday business life (e-mail, ms office, etc), the emac is much faster and far more reliable than the compaq. in fact my company is in the process of switching to the mac since this comparison was done. good riddance to false advertising and poor performance! – by switcher!
|ibm vs amd (11:07pm est wed nov 27 2002)
who cares wether they use ibm or amd processors. i personally would like to see amd stick around a while longer and so would lean towards them. however i currently am one of two system admins running some macs and pcs for a company. i am in charge of a x-serve running os 10.2.2 and it is a pos. macs are still the most non-compatible piece of hardware on the market. macs won't connect to pc servers very well yet pcs don't care who the server is as long as it has an ip address. – by bb
|re: bb (11:22pm est wed nov 27 2002)
pos=point of sale (ie cash register). are you running x-server as a cash register, or do you mean pos (ie "piece of sh!t")? if you are running it as a cash register, what front end software are you running? middle & acct'ing? – by tech
|cisc or risc? (12:19am est thu nov 28 2002)
dont forget that amd chips are cisc at the core and only emulate x86 code. making a power pc version of the hammer might be faster as there would be no emulation layer. – by kdog
|what apple needs (12:45am est thu nov 28 2002)
is a 64-bit operating system that will run on the new ibm power4 processors.
well, also the chipset stuff to make that work, but having two power4 processors inside a quicksilver case would definitely be a big selling point for me… – by fr0
|1.2 ghz motorola (2:01am est thu nov 28 2002)
they are just 1 ghz overclocked. motorola's chips are over, so apple, in a desperate attempt to offer some minimal upgrades before they get another chip (x86? ibm?).
– by the way
|oops (2:01am est thu nov 28 2002)
, decided to overclock them. – by the way
|:) (7:19am est thu nov 28 2002)
all nice, but remember, the motorola or ibm chip will always be way more expensive as the apple market is almost non noticable compared to the pc market…
this has nothing to do with better/worse…
just economics… – by bassie.
|der (11:30am est thu nov 28 2002)
"p.s.: i am a pc and apple user…"
me too. what's the point of this deep-seated animosity between pc and apple users? it's so childish. it's almost as bad as republican vs. democratic. – by me
|12 (1:36pm est thu nov 28 2002)
in general powerpc is actually quite a bit cheaper compared to similar intel offerings. this doesn't count for the ibm power 4, which is a double core, high redundancy professional server processor (somewhat comparable with itanium) technically power 4 is not powerpc architecture, but power architecture, of which the former is only a subset. – by johan-olof
|i'll design it, you build it (9:09pm est thu nov 28 2002)
who's to say that apple won't design a power pc chip and contract out its manufacturing. (ala nvidia) maby this is the relationship with amd that we've been hearing about?
– by kdog
|i agree (12:06am est fri nov 29 2002)
i love my mac. i love osx and i will never change, but i think it's about time for able to change to new chips.
– by macfan
|market share (7:24am est fri nov 29 2002)
x86 osx? brilliant. with so many people converting to linux and the like, plus the release of xp (xp inspired me to swear off micro$oft os's), why not release osx for x86? more ppl using it would put to rest the compatibility problem. were osx for x86 to ship tomorrow, i'd be in line to buy in. – by digital zero
|because (6:18pm est fri nov 29 2002)
apple would have to deal with the same amount of potential driver incompatibilities as windows, caused by the large number of different components available for x86. if apple were to go x86(64) it would still remain a closed platform, and apple would use a mix of homebrewn and custombuilt components from a limited amount of suppliers.
typically cpu:amd, mobochips:apple/nvidia, mobo and busdesign:apple, graphics nvidia/ati. don't expect to be able to install x-x86(64) on just any homebuilt peecee. even if you manage to hack the os beyond apple's proprietry hardware hacks and adaptations, you'd end up with an illegal and unsupported machine, which probably won't survive the next incremental os-upgrade. – by johan-olof
|story picked up by ap… (6:50pm est fri nov 29 2002)
"will novell survive?" $300m in revenues, $260m in cash, 3,600 employees at 96 locations. for 15 yrs the media has said, "if it's not m$, how can it survive?" – by tech
|power4 nothing more (4:46am est sat nov 30 2002)
ok, kdog's post wins for the most absurd. there are too many apple fanatics out there who watch the company like a hawk, not to mention the nearly dozen analyst's who also watch the company like a hawk. i think these people would note apple hiring chip designers and tell the world.
no a little birdy told me to expect powermac's and xserve to receive ibm power4 chips while the consumer line of emacs and imacs will continue on the g4 chips for another year until ibm can ramp up and cut the price of power4 production.
power4 makes the most sense since apple doesn't have to worry about the problems of those who still want to use old system 9.2 apps. you'd be surprised by the number of users who still cling to the old os. after all, quark still only runs in the classic environment. even when it is ported to os x, there are so many plug-ins and xtensions that may not get ported for another year — and their are some orphaned xtensions and plug-ins that will never get ported leaving some quark users stranded in os 9 until they can find replacement software. i work at a publishing business that relies upon an orphaned quark app, so i'm familiar with the dillema. – by webpilot
|prediction (12:48pm est sun dec 01 2002)
apple moves to amd processors:
the wailing of macmacs soon begins as they now have to purchase new software and wean themselves cold from os 9.
not gonna happen boys and girls, at least not in the near future where there are still viable options for apple, mainly ibm. i'd love to see a scientific poll which indicates what % of 2.8ghz+ users use there machine for tasks which *really* require such horsepower. my bookie tells me below 10%..the rest are simply playing the my penis is bigger than yours game ) – by frank
|pipeline problems (1:01pm est sun dec 01 2002)
the powerpc architecture has a pipeline too short. when many already have pipleine depths of 2-digits, single-digit depth (like 7 stages) just won't make the cut. converting some of the stages with longer operational time into multiple stages, and ask each stage to do a bit less, chip in smt, then the powerpc can compete better, at least from a marketing standpoint. when you tie one of the best desktop oses (os x) with one of the weakest chips (g4), you get only a mediocre solution.
or maybe dual-core? :-) – by kreditorj
|970 (5:05pm est sun dec 01 2002)
go to arstechnica, and read about the ibm ppc-970. this is a 64bit, single core, cheap, low-power, 64bit power 4 derivative. it includes altivec (vmx), and sports a 900 mhz front-side bus. this is the chip apple will be using in their new pro-workstations (maybe they won't be called powermacs anymore?)and the xserve about eight months from now. a single 1,8 ghz 970 will be about as fast as intels fastest dektop offerings at that moment (3,6 ghz p4, with hyperthreading). this is apple's future. in the meanwhile they will have to stick with a souped-up .13micron g4, running at up to 1,6 ghz (supposing a 200 mhz fsb).
while you're at it, read the p4 – g4e comparison as well, maybe then you might understand a little bit more about the trade-offs associated with a longer pipeline. the 970 will suffer from them as well (17 stage pipeline), but less than p4, due to more advanced branch prediction. – by johan-olof

|funny the difference a year makes… (9:48am est sat dec 20 2003)
i look at all the stuff these people said a year ago, then i look at where we are now.
apple hardware and x86 hardware are fueling each other's progression, which is very cool. the introduction of the g5 has set many opinions straight and has levelled the playing field in many respects.
…and since x86 m$ os software is still light years behind osx technologically and visually, and always will be because of an infinite number of compatibility issues, i just can't imagine why anyone would choose anything other than a mac.
the cost has dropped, the speed has kicked up a few notches, and my powerbook will still blow the doors off of a new dell. that mixed with the fact that i couldn't get jaguar to crash if you paid me…well, i just don't know why people stick with something that's bound to break. – by exm$employee

The Londonderry Lancers boys basketball team earned their first win of the season, 77-60 over the Trinity Pioneers. It was a strong defensive performance for the Lancers as they frustrated the Pioneer attack all night.
"Our defensive intensity is what really got us over that hump today," said Coach Nate Stanton. Jake Coleman and Nate Gaw brought carried that intensity throughout the game for the Lancers. They started alongside, Cole Britting, Matt Corey and Cam Reddy. Reddy proved effective at both ends of the floor and tied with a Coleman for a game high 20 points. His imposing presence down low matchup up well against Connor Walsh of Trinity. Trinity started Walsh with Justin Trickett, Zach Dagan, James Santos and Jordan Santos.
The lead swung back and forth over the first 5 minutes of the game before the Lancers gained some traction. Down 5-4, Reddy and Corey combined for 6 straight points to put Londonderry up 10-5. A long 2 from Jordan Santos would cut the lead to 3 points. With 1:20 to play Cam Reddy took the inbound pass and went straight up to the basket scoring easily over a
Pioneer defender. Trinity closed within two, put a corner 3 from Cam McDonald gave Londonderry a 15-10 lead at the end of the 1st quarter. McDonald was impressive of the bench, showing his range to the tune of five 3-pointers for the game.
Jordan Santos opened the scoring in the 2nd quarter with a 3 points of his own, to cut the Londonderry lead down to two, but Jake Coleman responded with a lay-up and a mid-range jumper putting his team up by six. Connor Walsh used a no look feed to get the ball to James Santos who put the ball off glass and in. The Lancers would go on a 9-4 run over the next two and a half minutes with baskets from Corey, Coleman and Reddy. They lead 28-19.
Trinity didn't quit and tried to keep things close at the half came to a close. A Jake Coleman 3-pointer at the top of the key looked to give Londonderry a large lead heading into the half, but Jordan Santos hit from long range in the closing minutes to offset it. At halftime, Londonderry: 35, Trinity: 24.
Jake Coleman opened the scoring in the second half for Londonderry pushing the lead to 13, but 6 straight points from Connor Walsh put Trinity within 7 of the lead. Cam Reddy had a monster 3rd quarter as he put up 10 points and some crucial offensive rebounds. Londonderry just seemed to out hustle Trinity to loose balls all night. They took advantage of their many second chance opportunities. Cam McDonald added another three in the 3rd and at the end of three Londonderry lead 57-43.
The Lancers poured on the points in the 4th quarter and saw their lead get as high as 20 points. Trinity tried to keep pace scoring 17 points in the quarter, but the deficit proved to be too much. Cam McDonald added 3 more 3-pointers in the 4th for the Lancers as they go on to win 77-60. Jake Coleman and Cam Reddy tied with a game high 20 points. Cam McDonald added 15 off the bench.
Connor Walsh scored 15 points for the Pioneers, but did receive a technical after a disagreement with officials in the third. That will be something to watch out for moving forward. James Santos finished with 14 points, Jordan Santos added 10.

When humans started to express themselves on cavern walls, dogs were soon portrayed in various scenes ranging from attack to hunting. Where dogs truly hunting with humans or did dogs simply tag along because they saw a great opportunity to catch scraps of food left by human hunters. Today, we'll explore human and dog relationships; are dogs true companions, or have they evolved as symbiotic partners. The answer might surprise you.
Companionship Relationship
Dog owners, it seems, struggle to answer the why do you have a dog question. It's funny how the simplest question is by far the hardest one to answer. I've asked this question to the majority of my clients for the last 20 years. It's true the majority of people answer companionship as the number one reason, but decades later, I still don't have a clear reason as to why people share their lives with dogs. Let me explain.
I've always found the companionship answer to be superficial and meaningless. Think about the definition of companionship for a moment and you'll be propelled into the realm of confusion. To illustrate my point, consider the following definitions.
- Companionship: a feeling of fellowship or friendship.
- Friendship: a state of mutual trust and support between individuals.
- Fellowship: friendly association, especially with people who share one's interests.
Can your relationship be explained by these definitions? I think not. Here's why. A companion relationship relates to a shared social structure, common linguistics, and mutual interests between two individuals. Although similar, humans and dogs don't share the same social structure, nor do people talk dog or share mutual interests. I don't know about you, but I don't have the urge to roll in dead insects, eat poop, or smell other dogs' behinds. It's true we are two social species, but I don't bark or growl at people when I'm uncomfortable or angry. In other words, dogs are not human companions.
Partnership Relationship
A symbiotic relationship, on the other hand, is an exchange between two different species; the relationship can benefit or hinder both individuals. Symbiotic relationships are essential to organisms that enter them because they offer a balance which is only achieved by working together.
Humans have bred dogs based on symbiotic relationships for generations. Hunters employ dogs to find and bring back prey; farmers need dogs to organize and move livestock; public safety officials breed and train dogs to serve and protect; the entire terrier group saw the light of day to assist in vermin control. Throughout the decades, dogs have entered human lives with a very specific purpose in mind. A symbiotic relationship is by definition a working partnership, not a companionship. When a dog enters a home it should be to fulfil a service, whatever the service need be. To deprive an animal of performing the work it was created for is, in my opinion, cruel and abusive.
I'm in a symbiotic relationship with my dog. As my work partner, Albear offers educational lessons to aspiring puppies; he helps facilitate my human interventions; he assists me when my medical condition reduces my mobility; consequently, my dog is my partner. In return, I provide healthcare, excellent nutrition, training opportunities, comfortable sleep areas, play sessions, and exploration situations.
Canine Conundrum
The conundrum lies within the reason people have dogs: companionship. Although social media is omnipresent in our lives, people feel lonelier than ever before. The emotional isolation is often compensated through dog interactions. Unfortunately, dogs make poor surrogate people. Companionship relationships with dogs are truly parasitic ones. One abuses* the other till the relationship breaks down. Unfortunately, re-homing, abandonment, or death severs the dysfunctional link.
Thankfully, it is possible to change a companionship relationship into a symbiotic partnership; however, one question needs to be answered before I can explain how to change dysfunctional relationships into a functional one. Tell me, why do you have a dog?

Blood clots most often originate in the legs and travel up through the right side of the heart and into the lungs. Pulmonary embolism is a blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in your lungs. In most cases, pulmonary embolism is caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from the legs or, rarely, other parts of the body (deep vein thrombosis). Because the clots block blood flow to the lungs, pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening. However, prompt treatment greatly reduces the risk of death. Taking measures to prevent blood clots in your legs will help protect you against pulmonary embolism. SymptomsPulmonary embolism symptoms can vary greatly, depending on how much of your lung is involved, the size of the clots, and whether you have underlying lung or heart disease. Common signs and symptoms include: Shortness of breath. This symptom typically appears suddenly and always gets worse with exertion. Chest pain. You may feel like you're having a heart attack. The pain may become worse when you breathe deeply (pleurisy), cough, eat, bend or stoop. The pain will get worse with exertion but won't go away when you rest. Cough. The cough may produce bloody or blood-streaked sputum. Other signs and symptoms that can occur with pulmonary embolism include: Leg pain or swelling, or both, usually in the calf Clammy or discolored skin (cyanosis) Fever Excessive sweating Rapid or irregular heartbeat Lightheadedness or dizziness When to see a doctor Pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience unexplained shortness of breath, chest pain or a cough that produces bloody sputum. Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic CausesPulmonary embolism occurs when a clump of material, most often a blood clot, gets wedged into an artery in your lungs. These blood clots most commonly come from the deep veins of your legs. This condition is known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In most cases, multiple clots are involved but not necessarily all at once. The portions of lung served by each blocked artery are robbed of blood and may die. This is known as pulmonary infarction. This makes it more difficult for your lungs to provide oxygen to the rest of your body. Occasionally, blockages in the blood vessels are caused by substances other than blood clots, such as: Fat from the marrow of a broken long bone Collagen or other tissue Part of a tumor Air bubbles Risk factors Blood clot in leg veinBlood clot in leg veinA blood clot in a leg vein may cause pain, warmth and tenderness in the affected area. Although anyone can develop blood clots and subsequent pulmonary embolism, certain factors can increase your risk. Medical history You're at higher risk if you or any of your family members have had venous blood clots or pulmonary embolism in the past. This may be due to inherited disorders that affect blood, making it more prone to clot. In addition, some medical conditions and treatments put you at risk, such as: Heart disease. Cardiovascular disease, specifically heart failure, makes clot formation more likely. Cancer. Certain cancers — especially pancreatic, ovarian and lung cancers, and many cancers with metastasis — can increase levels of substances that help blood clot, and chemotherapy further increases the risk. Women with a personal or family history of breast cancer who are taking tamoxifen or raloxifene also are at higher risk of blood clots. Surgery. Surgery is one of the leading causes of problem blood clots. For this reason, medication to prevent clots may be given before and after major surgery such as joint replacement. Prolonged immobility Blood clots are more likely to form during periods of inactivity, such as: Bed rest. Being confined to bed for an extended period after surgery, a heart attack, leg fracture, trauma or any serious illness makes you more vulnerable to blood clots. When the lower extremities are horizontal for long periods, the flow of venous blood slows and blood can pool in the legs. Long trips. Sitting in a cramped position during lengthy plane or car trips slows blood flow in the legs, which contributes to the formation of clots. Other risk factors Smoking. For reasons that aren't well-understood, tobacco use predisposes some people to blood clot formation, especially when combined with other risk factors. Being overweight. Excess weight increases the risk of blood clots — particularly in women who smoke or have high blood pressure. Supplemental estrogen. The estrogen in birth control pills and in hormone replacement therapy can increase clotting factors in your blood, especially if you smoke or are overweight. Pregnancy. The weight of the baby pressing on veins in the pelvis can slow blood return from the legs. Clots are more likely to form when blood slows or pools. ComplicationsPulmonary embolism can be life-threatening. About one-third of people with undiagnosed and untreated pulmonary embolism don't survive. When the condition is diagnosed and treated promptly, however, that number drops dramatically. Pulmonary embolism can also lead to pulmonary hypertension, a condition in which the blood pressure in your lungs and in the right side of the heart is too high. When you have obstructions in the arteries inside your lungs, your heart must work harder to push blood through those vessels. This increases the blood pressure within these vessels and the right side of the heart, which can weaken your heart. In rare cases, small emboli occur frequently and develop over time, resulting in chronic pulmonary hypertension, also known as chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. PreventionPreventing clots in the deep veins in your legs (deep vein thrombosis) will help prevent pulmonary embolism. For this reason, most hospitals are aggressive about taking measures to prevent blood clots, including: Blood thinners (anticoagulants). These medications are often given to people at risk of clots before and after an operation — as well as to people admitted to the hospital with a heart attack, stroke or complications of cancer. Compression stockings. Compression stockings steadily squeeze your legs, helping your veins and leg muscles move blood more efficiently. They offer a safe, simple and inexpensive way to keep blood from stagnating during and after general surgery. Leg elevation. Elevating your legs when possible and during the night also can be very effective. Raise the bottom of your bed 4 to 6 inches with blocks or books. Physical activity. Moving as soon as possible after surgery can help prevent pulmonary embolism and hasten recovery overall. This is one of the main reasons your nurse may push you to get up, even on your day of surgery, and walk despite pain at the site of your surgical incision. Pneumatic compression. This treatment uses thigh-high or calf-high cuffs that automatically inflate with air and deflate every few minutes to massage and squeeze the veins in your legs and improve blood flow. Prevention while traveling The risk of blood clots developing while traveling is low, but increases as travel increases. If you have risk factors for blood clots and you're concerned about traveling, talk with your doctor. Your doctor might suggest the following to help prevent blood clots during travel: Drink plenty of fluids. Water is the best liquid for preventing dehydration, which can contribute to the development of blood clots. Avoid alcohol, which contributes to fluid loss. Take a break from sitting. Move around the airplane cabin once an hour or so. If you're driving, stop every hour and walk around the car a couple of times. Do a few deep knee bends. Fidget in your seat. Flex your ankles every 15 to 30 minutes. Wear support stockings. Your doctor may recommend these to help promote circulation and fluid movement in your legs. Compression stockings are available in a range of stylish colors and textures. There are even devices, called stocking butlers, to help you put on the stockings.

Internet of Things (IoT) devices ranged from Bluetooth gateways and smart sensors to intensive cloud-based data processors and hackathons – all powered by ARM.
By John Blyler, Editorial Director
Connectivity continues to be a major theme at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The only difference each year is the way in which the connectivity is express in products. For example, this year's (2015) event showcased an increase in gateway networking devices that permitted Bluetooth Low Energy-equipped gadgets to connect to a WiFi router or other interfaces with the outside world.
According to a recent IHS report, the global market for low-power, Bluetooth Smart integrated circuits (IC) will see shipments rise nearly tenfold over the next 5 years. This is good news for very low power wireless semiconductor intellectual property (IP) and device manufacturers in the wearable and connected markets. One example out of many is Atmel's BTLC1000 chip, which the company claims will help improve battery life by over 30% of current devices. The chip architecture is based on a ARM® Cortex®-M0 processor.
Bluetooth Smart is the intelligent, low-power version of traditional Bluetooth wireless technology that works with existing smartphone and tablet applications. The technology brings smart connectivity to every day devices such as toothbrushes, heart-rate monitors, fitness devices and more. (See, Wearable Technologies Meet Bluetooth Low Energy)
For the IoT to be useful, sensor data at the edge of the connectivity node must be communicated to the cloud for high performance processing of all the IoT data. This year's CES showcased a number of multicore 64-bit devices like NVIDIA ARM-based Tegra X1. Another example of a high-end computing system is Samsung's Exynos 5422 processor that is based upon ARM's big.LITTLE™ technology and contains four Cortex-A15 cores and four Cortex-A7 cores. These types of products can run Android and 4K video displays on a 28nm process node.
Team mbed
Many embedded software developers enjoy the challenge of creating something new. Today, it is fashionable to call these people hackers, in part because they exhibit the prerequisite mindset, namely, "one who programs enthusiastically…" – from the Hacker's Jargon File, circa 1988.
Special events called hackathons have been created for these enthusiastic programmers to practice and demonstrate their skills. For example, back in August of 2014, ARM provided a group of hackers know as Team mbed™ with hardware and software development platforms for the AT&T Hackathon at Super Mobility Week. Last week, Team mbed returned to participate in the ATT Hackathon at the CES 2015. The team consisted of Internet of Things (IoT) industry participants from Freescale, Multi-Tech, Nordic Semiconductor, STMicroelectronics, u-blox and ARM. The team was supplied with a number of cool resources including ARM mbed-enabled development boards, connectivity modules, and a variety of different actuators and sensors. These resources combined with available guidance and inspiration enabled the developers to bring their own ideas to reality.
Following the show's IoT theme, these software developer were given a 'smorgasbord' of sensors and actuators to go along with a variety of hardware platforms and I/O connectivity subsystems including Bluetooth®, cellular, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi®. Recent projects are built around this IoT platform are highlighted at haster.io/mbed (see Figure 1).
Next to connectivity, sensors are the defining component of any IoT technology. Maybe that is why sensor companies have been a growing presence on the CES show floor. This year, sensor-related vendors accounted for over 10% of total exhibitors. Many new IoT sensor technology is implemented using tiny MEMS physical structures. At CES, a relatively new company known as Invensenseannounced a Sensor System on Chip that combines an ARM Cortex-M0 processor with 2 motion co-processors (see Figure 2). This combination enables a 6-axis motion measurement all in a 3mm x 3mm x 1mm package. To complete the package, this device has its own RTOS that is compatible with Android Lollipop.
Such sensor systems on chip would make a fine addition for the resources available for Team mbed at their next hackathon.

"Wo-oooow," she admired, over and over, as the water filled the tub.
I showered first, so I could hop in the deep tub with her (in my swimsuit, just to be clear), making sure that the high water didn't knock her off balance.
As the water level rose past the jet, we pushed the button together to release the tiny air bubbles, and the motor started humming as the jets turned on.
I'd heard from other families about the benefits, but there was still some doubt. How much difference can this tub make?
The water quickly became foggy as the air bubbles emerged from the jets.
And then I began to rub her back…and her legs…and her arms.
And her skin softened and practically fell off as I lightly rubbed.
We played and played. We giggled over the stream of bubbles pushing her puffy blue fish and her choo-choo train around the water, and we read her bath books. We held our hands in the way of the jet, and she exclaimed "Tickle!"
And the whole time, I rubbed my hands gently on her skin, under the foggy water, and she barely noticed.
A half hour later, we again pushed the button, and the motor stopped humming with a little whoosh. We emerged from the bath tub, skin flakes covering the top of the water, and even covering me.
There were no pleas of "ALL DONE." There was no fighting to hold her still.
We always thought we wanted a MicroSilk bath tub for Brenna, so we splurged a bit on her newly constructed bathroom in our new home, hoping that it would make a difference in her skin care.
It has not only made a difference in her skin care (her skin is as healthy as ever), but it has made a difference in our lives. It has brought a bit of normalcy, a bit of joy and play, into our daily bath routine – when most of what we had experienced was crying and fighting.
I had also heard that one of the benefits is better sleep…we have yet to experience that, but hey, there are only so many miracles this tub can work! 🙂
Maybe better sleep will come eventually…but I'll take no crying for now. I have always hoped that one day Brenna would find bath time enjoyable, and finally getting to experience a fun bath with her has been a really exciting change.
