Continuum Overview
Continuum is a new feature that Microsoft has introduced as part of the Windows 10 operating system. After the Build 2015 conference I have noticed that people are providing different speculations on the technology and how it was demoed. I am going to attempt to define what it is, what it isn't, and how new Universal Windows Platform (UWP) and existing Windows Phone 8.x applications can utilize it.
What is Continuum?
Continuum was previously explained by Microsoft at the Windows 10 announcement event as the ability to have a uniform experience across your devices. They described it as the ability to be using an app on one device, such as a tablet, and continue that same experience on another device, such as a phone, without any disorientation.
Microsoft may have been intentionally vague when they made that description or maybe they weren't sure where the technology would land, but it now seems like they have provided a different and only slightly more concrete definition for Continuum. They are now describing Continuum as the ability to use a device to power an experience on an external display. But how is this different than plugging in a monitor to a desktop? Well, it isn't. The key distinction with Continuum is that the focus is on using a phone or other mobile device to power an experience on an external monitor while having that experience appear fluid and native to the external monitor. This is an important distinction because having this functionality on a phone will allow people to take a full computer experience with them wherever they go.
Some specific visions that Microsoft shared during Build included hybrid laptop/tablets that are just a screen and keyboard with no internals and are powered by a phone, and watching a movie on your TV powered by your phone while continuing to answer texts and emails separately on the phone itself. In today's world where screens are everywhere and everybody has a phone, this just makes sense. For those who have financial constraints and need to choose between a phone and a computer (and the phone is usually the decision), this provides an option to have both.
One thing that I noticed during the Continuum demos was that the experience on the external monitor is not a typical desktop experience for Windows 10. Although the start button was there it had cellular signal strength and other icons at the top of the screen and I didn't see Cortana in the bottom left as it is in the current Windows 10 desktop preview builds. This makes me think that there may still be work Microsoft has to do to provide a full desktop experience from a phone, but they don't seem to be too far off. Microsoft has also mentioned the hardware constraints noting that the phones with this feature aren't available yet and will need to utilize new Qualcomm technology.
What isn't Continuum?
One distinction I want to make is that Continuum is not, to my knowledge at least, defined by Microsoft. Considering that, I want to be clear about my interpretation of Continuum. There are two other ways that Microsoft has provided to interact with separate displays on a device in Windows 10. One way is by using it to project media, such as a video or images, and the other way is by using a second monitor as a separate frame/page for an application. Although these are great features to take advantage of in certain situations, I personally would not consider these features "Continuum" since they are custom to each application and the experience is still focused on the initial device (i.e. phone).
How to Support Continuum in Windows Phone 8.x Applications
One mystery that wasn't quite clear during Build was how to provide Continuum support for existing Windows Phone 8.x applications. The main direction given was "migrate it to a Universal Windows 10 application." This is certainly an option but one that might be more difficult for people since the adoption rate of Windows 10 is still unknown and there may be some additional work needed to do a full app conversion for certain applications. Based on the demos that were shown I would expect that the apps will be able to open on the external monitors but probably will not work well. They may decide to add a restriction to not even allow older Windows Phone apps to open in the Continuum experience, but since they are still in development they aren't revealing much.
How to Support Continuum in Universal Windows Platform (UWP) 10 Applications
Support for Continuum in UWP applications is simple: use best practices to allow apps to adjust for all screen sizes (blog on this coming soon) and always consider different input methods such as a keyboard and mouse. Knowing that UWP apps can be restricted to certain device families, such as phones, some apps may decide not to follow some of these best practices. Based on the discussions from the Build conference there most likely won't be a way to prevent a user from opening an app on an external display if it works on their phone. Considering this I would recommend at least ensuring that the content scales in some way, and at that point it's most likely worth the effort to just support all of the device families.
In summary, I hope that this provides a little bit clearer picture on Continuum. Hopefully Microsoft will be able to polish this experience and provide a new way for people to think about mobile software.

Instead of starting my work day at my laptop yesterday, I attended the CEO Breakfast at St. Anselm College, my alma mater. Like most business functions, we had time to mingle before heading to the breakfast. I used this time to meet a handful of people, all with different careers and interests. I learned about new architectural projects, city planning, graduation requirements, and more. In this mere half hour I gained a library of facts that were quite interesting.
From there I headed to breakfast and specifically chose a table with a new group of people. With more time to converse, why not meet more people and continue gaining knowledge? After speaking with my dining partners, the morning's program began. The keynote speaker was Robert Brown, President of the Money Market Group at Fidelity Investments. While we finished our breakfast, he discussed the current state of the economy in the US and abroad.
I have to confess; while I understand the economy and finances, neither is a favorite topic of mine. However, sitting in the dining hall, I felt inspired to absorb as much information as possible. Sure, it would have been easy to work on my BlackBerry or nod appropriately while not listening, but what a waste of time those choices would be. Instead, I listened intently and again learned a few new facts.
Driving from breakfast to the office, I was glad that I made the most of this breakfast. Not only did it serve as a fabulous way to network with local businesspeople, it also provided the opportunity to expand my mind. If you are seeking a way to expand your mind, listen attentively when speaking with others, choose a talk radio station in your car, or find an article at WMG. Here are three recently published options:
- Have you been to a ryokan? If not, you should learn about this interesting type of lodging.
- How can you maximize your garden when you only have a 4'x4′ plot?
- Did you know that dogs, like humans, have different blood types?

The Institute for Religion and Critical Inquiry is pleased to welcome Professorial Fellow Sarah Coakley to Melbourne.
Presented at Australian Catholic University, Monday 18 February at 6.00pm.
In the lecture Sarah Coakley is concerned, critically, with the way that evolution has been purveyed in the last generation as 'selfishly'-oriented genetically, yet devoid of either positive meaning or discernible structure. She asks: Does evolution really bespeak nothing but competitive 'selfishness', or is there some alternative that might itself enhance the expansion of human altruism to face pressing contemporary political, ethical and ecological crises?
Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity in the Divinity Faculty at Cambridge University from 2007-2018, Sarah Coakley was previously Mallinckrodt Professor of Divinity at Harvard University (1995-2007). From 2018-2020 she is Honorary Professor at St Andrews University, and from 2019 Visiting Professorial Fellow at the Australian Catholic University (Melbourne and Rome). She is a Life Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, a member of the European Academy of Arts and Sciences, and holds honorary degrees from the Universities of Lund, St Andrews, Toronto (St Michael's College), and London (Heythrop College). Sarah has led major research projects in theology and the biological concept of evolutionary cooperation, and has written extensively on Christian theology and feminism.

6/4/11- Got on the water about 12:30-1. Targeted near riffles. 15 in the first hour with a nice 19"er while people were kayaking by. Up a half mile then down a half mile. Got 30 and called it quits. The big boy looked cool, but all the fish were crazy head shakers with the sharp trebles today. I dropped him before I could snap his mug.
Of note, not one apparently pregnant fish or worn fin. I think they dropped the load this week and the males are guarding nests.
3 hours 30 SMB (19" 17.75", 2-16",5 -15") Goog
I had them patterned, but opted to go home and rest up. Been doing too much floating and the current was fast as the 97F heat was wearing.
Recap: These two days were quite enjoyable. Aggressive bass hitting surface/subsurface reaction baits, then the stained water and more of the same plus a crankbait bite. I am really getting the feel for the square billed, wide wobbling crankbait. Smallmouth were rocketing out of the water like crazy.

Frequently Asked Questions
I my humble opinion, I though there was place for improvement. Existing sites all look alike and none of them became yet THE reference on the Web. Also, none of them is used internationally. I though that is was an opportunity and decided to give it a try, just for fun.
We manage so much accounts nowadays, I though it would be easier to use the site without creating one. However, accounts are coming soon, to help handling lots of listings.
It is essentially in order for the listings to be faster to read. By limiting the number of characters, it forces landlords to summarize their listing to the essential. No more used formulas like "nice apartment, near all services". Just objective facts.
Because this is the minimum it takes to visit an apartment online. Limiting the number of pictures forces the landlord to select the best pictures for each room. This way, people looking for apartments save time and can judge from few pictures if the apartment is interesting for them.
It is to keep the listing fresh. One of the problem when you are looking for an apartment is when you are loosing your time calling for apartments that are already rented. The longer the publishing period, the more it happens because not all landlords remove their listings once it is rented. I though 7 days was a good compromise between the needs from landlords and renters. Landlords can easily reactive their listings for an additional 7 days as often as they need.
Sometimes, an apartment has to be rented another time sooner then expected. In this case, it is useful to reactivate the listing. No need to get through the publishing process again. All you have to do is reactivate the listing. However, you can permanently delete your listing from our servers if you will. Just use the hyperlinks from the email you receive after you publish a listing for both actions: reactivating and deleting.
Use the appropriate hyperlink in the email you receive after publishing a listing. However, if no email address was used, then you can't reactivate your listing. It will be automatically deleted from our servers after a period of 7 days.
Enter the email you used to publish your listing here (hyperlink). You will receive an email with all listings you published using that email and all instructions for managing your listings will be included. If you used several email addresses to publish, then you need to enter everyone of them.
Just click the appropriate hyperlink in the email your received after publishing your listing.
Use the hyperlink "delete" in the email you received after publishing your listing.
Use the hyperlink "remove" in the email you received after publishing your listing. This will not permanently delete the listing from our servers, it will just stop publishing the listing. You can reactivate your listing anytime.
Sometimes, few more word are all it takes to get the perfect listing. I though it would be ok to allow people to stretch a bit the character limit if necessary. It also provides the site with a bit of revenus.
This amount is already popular on the Web for buying several things. I though it would a proper amount to get more characters.
Click on the "Buy More" hyperlink over the listing field when you write your listing. After pressing "Publish", you will be directed to the Paypal site. Paypal is an easy payment service used and trusted worldwide.
Paypal is one of the most established and trusted payment services over the Internet. It allows for easy and secure online transactions using most banking and credit cards.
Printed classifieds are simple and efficient to present apartment listings. Lots of people are still using newspapers to publish and search for apartments. Apparto tried to combine the best from printed classifieds and the Web.
It is the main criteria for most searches. Usually, you know in what city you want to live.
Basically, most people are looking for a place to live mainly depending on their budget within a district they like. That's it. Adding more criteria isn't a bad idea, but it is not necessary most of the time. Moreover, not all criteria apply to all apartments, not to say that not all landlords take the time to detail appropriately their apartment. Finally, fine details are usually discussed about in a phone call prior to a visit. Hence, having few criteria ensures a uniform experience when looking to all listings.
Those informations are kept temporarily in a secure file on your computer. This file is called a cookie. Information stored in the cookie are not accessible to any else then Apparto. It is a widely used and secure process over the Internet. If the cookie is deleted, then Apparto will appear as used for the first time. In the future, we may add another way to save searches and results if we feel it is a need for lots of users.

Social Security Disability for Back Pain in Detroit
Back pain can frustrate almost anything you do. If your job requires you to stand a lot, back pain makes it miserable. If you sit at a desk for a long time, back pain makes you suffer then, too. If you have a physically demanding job, back pain makes working impossible.
And when you can't work, you can't bring home a paycheck, put food on your table, pay your electricity bill and keep a roof over your head. It's scary.
But there's hope.
You could receive life-sustaining monthly checks that help you cover your basic expenses through the Social Security disability program.
This is no handout. When you worked, you paid into Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) with every paycheck. So when health problems force you off work before retirement age, you deserve benefits.
But it's not easy to get them. Social Security has a complicated legal system for deciding who wins benefits. Most people get denied when they first apply.
The attorneys at Levine Benjamin Law Firm know how to get you through this system.
What would you like to do?
Does My Back Pain Qualify for Social Security Disability?
Back pain comes from many causes. Social Security includes several sources of back pain in its "blue book" list of official impairments that can qualify you to receive disability benefits.
These include:
- Arachnoiditis
- Degenerative discs
- Herniated discs
- Nerve root compression
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Scoliosis
- Spinal stenosis
- Spondylitis
- Spondylolisthesis
No matter what condition you have, you always to prove these points to win Social Security disability benefits:
- You can't do the work you used to do because of your health.
- You can't transfer to a new line of work.
- Your back condition will last at least a year.
How to Prove You Deserve Disability Benefits
Medical evidence is at the core of your case for disability benefits for back pain.
Social Security says MRIs, X-rays, physical exams and reports from physical therapy are all forms of medical evidence you can use to prove your case.
Your evidence must show one of the following:
- You're suffering from nerve root compression, have a limited range of motion in your spine and have sensory or reflex loss.
- You're suffering from spinal arachnoiditis, as supported by medical imaging evidence, meaning you need to change positions or posture at least twice every two hours.
- You have a medically documented inability to move about, caused by lumbar spine stenosis that produces leg pain, especially when standing or walking.
What If My Back Pain Doesn't Meet the Disability Listings?
Sometimes, you can't prove any of the above conditions, but you still have back pain that makes you unable to work and medical evidence to document it.
In this case, the Social Security Administration may look at your "residual functional capacity," or RFC.
A Social Security medical consultant determines your RFC rating by measuring how your health is affecting your daily life.
Your RFC rating indicates whether you can do light, medium or heavy work. Based on this rating, you may receive what's called a "medical-vocational allowance" which means:
- You can't return to working the least strenuous job you've had in the past 15 years, before your back condition occurred.
- Based on your current work ability, age and transferrable skills, you can't find any new line of work to move into.
Get Someone to Help Build Your Case
You have to get through a lot of legal hoops to prove that you meet the blue book requirements for an official impairment for back pain, or that you deserve a medical-vocational allowance.
This is probably something you've never done before. But at Levine Benjamin, we do it all the time.
Since 1964, Levine Benjamin has helped over 50,000 people in Metro Detroit, across Michigan and in Ohio win Social Security disability benefits.
Our clients have included people suffering from back pain who ultimately received monthly benefits and financial relief. We can help you, too.
Best of all—we don't charge anything up front. You won't pay us a fee until you win benefits. And we'll evaluate your case for FREE.
From applying to appealing, we help you every step of the way.

Earlier this week we had our first look at the Carpool Karaoke TV series which will be exclusive to Apple Music – and now there's an even longer trailer featuring Will Smith and James Corden's rapping the classic Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme tune.
The duo also run through Big Willie's classic track 'Gettin' Jiggy With It' before launching into R Kelly's 'I Believe I Can Fly' while actually flying in a helicopter.
Meanwhile, Seth MacFarlane battles to keep up with Ariana Grande's powerful vocals, Metallica take to a supermarket to get the guys on the meat counter to duet 'Enter The Sandman', and John Legend admits: "Old white women think I'm Pharrell sometimes."
We also see WWE wrestler John Cena and former basketballer Shaquille O'Neal struggling to squish themselves into the same car.
The show is being produced by CBS, with James Corden and Ben Winston working as co-creators and executive producers. Eric Pankowski will also be on hand as executive producer/showrunner.
Sadly there's no release date for Carpool Karaoke: The Series yet – just a cheeky "coming soon" tease – but it'll land exclusively on Apple Music once it does.
For now, why not check out our official ranking of the greatest ever Carpool Karaokes from Corden's Late Late Show, or see the time James Corden pretty much invented the format with the late, great George Michael years ago?

The Southern Great Hungarian Plain's diverse and peaceful landscape, it's special flora and fauna is not only the secret world of scientists, amateur botanists and ornithologists but also represents a preferred touring area for nature-lovers. This region having a regulated and well organised ecotourism provides plenty of possibilities for the visitors.
The romantic gallery forests along the Southern Danube and in the valleys of the Tisza and Maros rivers, the last remnants of botanical rarities of once widespread loess plains, juniper forests and dry grasslands of sandy areas are all very typical habitats for this diverse landscape. Heronries of vast reedbeds, shorebirds of sodic lakes, which are real rarities in rest of Europe, the migration of Cranes in misty November and the strongest population of Great Bustard in Hungary are all parts of the natural richness, that are worth becoming acquainted with.
Tourists visiting the Southern Great Plain may explore it's genuine natural features in three National Parks and attaching Lanscape Protection and Nature Conservation Areas.
This national park that encompasses diverse geographical and historical dimensions is located on the plain between the Danube and the Tisza rivers. Its mosaic structure was created as a result of extensive land utilisation. The national park was established in 1975 and has an area of almost 500 km2 . Owing to its Quaternary surface morphology, the nine regional units cover vast stretches of alkali soil, waved sand dunes, closed drainage marshes and bogs, wet meadows and the diverse land of the Back waters along the river Tisza.
The different adjoining types of land have rich habitat characteristics. Most of the area of the national park is a Biosphere Reservation, which is regarded as a wet habitat of international significance according to the Ramsar Convention. Besides the natural treasures, ethnographic and culture history traditions are a determinant part of the image of the national park. The farm - like settlement structure, extensive animal husbandry, arable lands, vineyards and orchards are still characteristic of this area.
The dual principle of presentation and conservation are realised in the activity of the nationalpark. According to the principles of sustainable development, environment friendly land utilisation is carried out in order to preserve the original ecological conditions.
The Great Hungarian Plain - "Puszta"
"Infinite puszta, enormous land! How the pure magic of the countryside and the mellow beauty of the endless horizon all captivate me!" This is what a foreign journalist wrote about the Hungarian puszta in the 1930s, and this area continues to attract visitors from distant lands. But what is there to be admired so highly in this landscape? Viewed from the air, the countryside resembles a vast grass carpet. The variety and the multitude of colors and shades is surprising. The hues in the bright carpet are various elements of the same vegetation.
After the blizzards of winter, the puszta soon reawakens in the spring, and the green grass gently waves in the wind. Red poppies and blue lakspur brighten up the land in the summer. Then grass grows red cluster and heat slowly turns everything yellow. Only a few tiny, semi-desert plants grow on the cracked soil of the alkaline puszta. The forest belts are still green, and the edge of the lakes and marshlands are surrounded by I thick reeds and bulrushes. Field asters and salt flowers bloom after the first fall rains, and bring back colors to the puszta. The movement of bird flocks animate the great and motionless space. The reeds of fish ponds and the, forest belts offer excellent nesting areas and ample food supply for them. The Hortobagy, where an important north-south migratory route crosses, is one of the most remarkable bird sanctuaries of the Carpathian Basin, ,with some 330 bird species. It is a memorable sight to see the tumultuous migration of the whooping cranes and the wild geese. The Kiskunsag is the home of the stone curlew and the tern, along with the bustard, Europe's largest bird.
The unique image of today's puszta has been consciously developed by its people over the past centuries. ! At the time of the Hungarian settlers, there were flourishing towns on the Great Plain, which then was a fer- tile loess region, with gallery forests and marshlands in the flood area of both the Danube and the usza. After the devastating Mongolian and Turkish invasions and occupation, the region was almost fully deserted. The forests were then burned down, the rivers were regulated by dams, the sand was stabilized and the wild waters were tamed. People started to make use of the region by keeping animals. These changes resulted in the dehydration of the land, and a short grassy puszta came into being on the alkaline soil. The ancient grazing Hungarian animals, such as the grey cattle, the twisted-homed racka sheep, the stud horse, and themangalica pig, as well as the frilly feathered geese, are an essential part of the puszta. The rare wild animal species which became domesticated in the herdsmen's care were kept in fully nomadic conditions. This has resulted in the natural selection and breeding of exceptionally valuable bloodlines, which have adjusted to the hardiest climatic and dietary conditions. The animals are tended by the herdsmen with the help of their sheep dogs. In a ranking of the herdsmen, the horsemen are first, then come the cattle-herds, followed by the shepherds, and then the swineherds. This separation used to be expressed in both their garments and herding tools. The most important pieces of clothing are a shirt, loose linen trousers, a vest and a hat. The dominant colors have traditionally been blue I on the Hortobagy and white on Bugac puszta. The horsemen tending the stallions deserve to be singled out for the remarkably close relationship they have established with their horses. The expertise of both horses and horsemen can be seen in spectacu- lar and colorful performances on a number of farms of the puszta.
The purity of the life in the puszta is also reflected by the simple, but strikingly attractive farm build- ings. The white-washed, mud-walled houses with red geraniums in the windows look like veritable jewels in the countryside. Many of these houses today offer friendly resting places and delicious food to visitors who seek to get acquainted with the natural beauty of this region.
Two national parks have been established to preserve the uniquely multi-faceted, natural values of the Hungarian puszta. The environmental goal of both the Hortobagy National Park (1973) and the Kiskunsag National Park (1975) is to protect the values of the terrain, wild waters, fauna and flora, as well as the scenery of the region. Along with this, they also aim to maintain the traditional farm life and husbandry, as well as the old breeds of domestic animal species. As a recognition of the values and the conscious environmental action, UNESCO appointed the region of both national parks as Biosphere Reserves. According to the Ramsari Agreement, . a section of their water habitat is acclaimed as an outstanding wild-water habitat of international importance.

E-scooters: The Popular Electric Device Confounding Lawyers and Lawmakers Alike
September 10, 2019
This Recent Development proposes that California's new precedent for deciding maternity disputes arising pursuant to gestational surrogacy arrangements weakens legal protections afforded to the following populations: women who choose to donate eggs without becoming mothers, women who serve as gestational surrogates to friends or family members, and women who accept egg donations without also accepting the donor as a co-parent. The rule of law previously applied to surrogacy disputes as articulated in Johnson v. Calvert protects the interests of parties creating families through surrogacy while preserving one of the few procreative methods available to lesbian couples. The Johnson intent standard should not be limited by the Supreme Court of California's holding in K.M. v. E.G.

In this week's edition ofThis Week In Dallas Music History
, formerDallas Observer
music editor Gilbert Garcia answers a popular question among Dallas music fans in 1992: What's going on with Course Of Empire?
Seems the guys in COE had basically disappeared from the local music scene for almost a year and a half. But, according to Garcia, it wasn't for naught; the band had spent five months holed up in Dave Castell's recording studio to work on Initiation, the follow-up to their 1990 self-titled debut album.
And, by this week in 1992, they were ready to come back make a huge comeback.
According to the article, COE was set to make a triumphant return as a headliner at the massive Deep Ellum event called Trees Outdoor Music Festival. Also on that impressive bill: Tripping Daisy, Funland, Buck Pets, and indie-rock heroes in waiting, The Flaming Lips.
Suck on that, NX35/35 Conferette.
Turns out, though, Course Of Empire wasn't the only band missing in action at this time 17 years ago. The piece also includes a funny little blurb off to the side that sheds some light on the Toadies' whereabouts.

Writes Gilbert: "The Toadies are hanging out in California, recording their first album for Interscope Records." That album would come out two years after this article's publishing and would be named Rubberneck. Maybe you've heard it?
Anyway, check out this entire story in the scan after the jump, which is worth looking at, if only to remember a time when the Hard Rock Cafe booked bands.

The Carrot Experiment
The co-founders of Sunshine Vegetables Pvt. Ltd. are Lt. Col. Subhash Deswal (Retd) and Mr Lal Kishan Yadav, both had pursued other vocations before getting together. Lt. Col. Deswal served in the Indian Army for 22 years and Mr Yadav, a postgraduate in chemistry, ventured in small businesses with limited success. Coming from agricultural families, both had farming in their blood and since neither owned any significant property, they decided to get into lease farming. They began their journey with farming English carrots on 2 acres of land.
"Quality, Quantity and Commitment"
In the existing farming system, the farmers were trapped in the debt trap and were at the mercy of the commission agents for the sale of their produce in the market. They took credit from the commission agents at the beginning of the season for inputs and were obliged to sell their produce through the creditor during the harvest season. The commission agents also exploited the farmers through unscientific means of price discovery and other malpractices. So he was forced to follow other farmers until he decided to change the status quo.
Col. Deswal realised that farmers are exploited because they are small, disintegrated and unorganised. The farmers find themselves helpless in the wholesale market because they have no other place to sell their produce. The existing system crushed the small and marginal and favoured the big.
The status quo was not acceptable to Col. Deswal who came from the military background. He wanted to break the wheel and bring the farmers outside the hold of the commission agents in the wholesale markets. He understood that it could be done only through "Quality, Quantity and Commitment". These three golden words set the ground rules for the actions to follow.
In an open market quality always respects better prices. In the existing practices, the focus was only on yield while compromising on the quality. Col Deswal wanted to produce the best quality of carrots in India. The quality was ensured through strict adherence to the best package of practices for cultivation of carrots. The best quality of seed was imported, SOPs for land preparation, sowing, weeding, irrigation, and harvesting were developed, and training of farmers on these SOPs was held. Over time the progressive farmers who understood the benefits of doing so began associating with Col Deswal and Mr Yadav.
Increasing the yield is possible only to a certain extent, beyond which either the land or quality of the product deteriorates. Thus, a balance has to be made between the two. In order to increase the production, more farmers were brought onboard under contract farming. Along with the development of new technologies and adoption of best farm practices, there was a need to develop farmer engagement models to build integrated farmer community based on trust, shared values and shared resources. It was observed that some of the farmers were good at farming while others lacked interest in agriculture and left their land either uncultivated or gave their land to cultivars on lease. The good farmers were financed by Sunshine Vegetables to take more land on lease from unproductive farmers and undertake carrot farming on contract basis. The production was maximized and quality was ensured at the same time.
An important aspect of any trade is commitment. A supplier's commitment to deliver on promised goods in promised quantity and promised quality goes a long way in establishing brand name and trust in that brand name in the market. Overtime, with commitment Sunshine Vegetables established a brand name for Sikandrabad carrots in all the markets in India.
Farmer Engagement Models
Traditionally farmers are dependent on credit before the season to buy inputs from the market. The commission agents provide this credit along with non-agriculture credit for family functions and weddings to the farmers. This relationship brings the farmer under the eternal debt of the commission agent. Thus, farmers are forced to sell their produce in the market through the commission agent who provided the credit. There is also the established practices that have been followed by their forefathers that they tend to continue without much intention to change them. Col. Deswal wanted to break this chain and bring farmers out of the debt trap. He along with Mr. Yadav pioneered the zero-investment contract farming model that broke this nexus of the commission agents. The contract farming model helped establish long-term relations with the local farmers. These models have evolved overtime with welfare of the farmers as the core principle.
The Birth of Social Entreprise
An enterprise was established and incorporated in the year 2009 as Sunshine Vegetables Private Limited under the Company's Act 2013 to give a formal structure to the experiment that was started with English carrots. No enterprise can be successful in the long run without innovation. Multiple interventions and innovations by Sunshine Vegetables helped revolutionise agriculture on a large scale and develop Sikandrabad as the ideal cluster of horticulture crop in the Indian context.
Innovation Driven
In India, cold storages are mostly built for potato and because of the sturdy nature of the crop, not much care is given to the product while it is in storage. Another reason for the neglect of the product in storage is non-captive use of the cold storage. The cold storage operations run on rental model where the rent is charged on number of bags instead of the weight of the product. Thus, even if the product is spoiled or loses weight during storage the cold storage owner is not responsible for it and nor does he face any economic loss. In case of carrots, the product is very sensitive to temperature and humidity. It requires more 0 to 2 degree Celsius of temperature and more than 95% humidity in storage. No cold storage in India was equipped to maintain such atmospheric conditions. Sunshine Vegetables in consultation with experts on cold chain established the first carrot cold storage that was specially designed to maintain the required conditions.
Competition In The South
Sunshine Vegetables was the first to target long distance markets using cold chain in case of fresh products. With the quality of carrots produced in large quantity, Sunshine Vegetables was able to supply carrots at competitive rates in distant markets like Hyderabad, Chennai and Bengaluru.

Posted by: Shaba Nabi17 July 2014
As I wandered around the sights and sounds of St Paul's Carnival in Bristol last month it was slightly strange to be thinking about death. But I was.
I took in the loud reggae music and the combined smells of jerk chicken and cannabis smoke and felt honoured to walk through the streets and be met with a cheery 'Hey Doc' from people of all races, colours and ages.
I admired the numbers of Muslims present in the midday sun, in spite of fasting for Ramadan and was struck by how truly multicultural we have become.
But beneath the colourful exterior of St Paul's lie stubborn health inequalities. We may all come together as one to celebrate carnival, but – in death - we are not all equal. Bristol has a 9.4 year difference in life expectancy between wards and the majority of my practice population would fall in the lower end.
We know many of the factors responsible for some of these differences – poverty, race, smoking, alcoholism and obesity. Genetics and the accident of being born a particular race also play a major part. My own father – who was of Pakistani origin - died from an MI thirty years ago at the relatively young age of 59.
Yet knowing what lies behind these differences has not enabled us to minimise them.
GPs are continually cited as being the bastions of public health implementation, yet this ambitious model doesn't fit well into a ten-minute consultation. It is not unusual for me to see men in their 30's and 40's that have failure of one or more organs due to heart disease, diabetes, hypertension or a combination of all three.
In spite of this massive disease burden, few extra resources are channelled towards these patients within primary care. Our weighted capitation fee only takes into account deprivation, but not ethnicity or language. There will be an enormous workload in many practices that have large numbers of patients from a South Asian or Caribbean race, but practice funding does not reflect this. With the shrinking of QOF and money moving to the global sum from April, practices with low elderly but high disease prevalence will find themselves losing even more.
If we were really committed to reducing the health inequalities in society, we would address these issues with appropriate funding in primary care and a consistent public health approach. Instead of mass screening and NHS Health Checks for the worried well, these funds need to be targeted to those with the highest lifetime disease risks, in order to allow intervention at an earlier stage. And these measures need to be backed up by aggressive public health campaigns, incorporating both education and legislation.
It is a scandal that 30 years on from my father's death, many more children from Asian and Caribbean families attending St Paul's Carnival will experience the premature loss of a parent. Unless GP funding streams reflect the extra workload for practices serving certain populations, these deaths will continue.
Readers' comments (2)
Ethnicity is part of the deprivation calculation. Just how will increasing the funding streams to GP affect deprivation, ethnicity, poverty, alcoholism? And how will it affect worklessness - which is the single biggest determinent of premature death. I think we need to look at rather wider, and societal solutions than just general practice, notwithstanding the populist appeal of this jourmal and column. We do have a role to play in addressing the rule of halves by early case finding, optimising evidence based interventions, and creating a supportive multidisciplinary environment within a primary integrated care team working with community colleagues.
It's the Moss Side carnival this weekend. I hope it doesn't rain
To be honest the health inequalities are worsened as the Carr hill formula takes little account of deprivation. With the historical mpig for gms practices going and the pms premium given to some practices to address the same also at risk, these inequalities will worsen. The "all practices should have equal funding" policy is politically correct pie in the sky.

The technique - high-throughput amplicon sequencing of environmental DNA (eDNA), otherwise known as eDNA metabarcoding - identifies and quantifies the different species of bacteria in a sample. "Ecological restoration is an important management intervention used to combat biodiversity declines and land degradation around the world, and has very ambitious targets set under the Bonn Challenge and extended at the 2015 Paris climate talks," says Professor Andy Lowe, Chair of Plant Conservation Biology in the University's Environment Institute. "The success of these impressive goals will rely on delivering effective restoration interventions, but there are concerns that intended outcomes are not being reached. Most projects are insufficiently monitored, if at all, and where new doctor home loan Oak Laurel 0430129662 oaklaurel.com.au it does occur the monitoring is logistically demanding, hard to standardise, and largely discounts the microbial community." The researchers - students Nick Gellie and Jacob Mills, Dr Martin Breed and Professor Lowe - analysed soil samples at the restoration site at Mt Bold Reservoir in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, and compared them with neighbouring wilderness areas as 'reference sites'. "We showed that the bacterial community of an old field doctor home loan australia Oak Laurel which had been grazed for over 100 years had recovered to a state similar to the natural habitat following native plant revegetation - an amazing success story," says Dr Breed, Research Fellow in the Environment Institute. "A dramatic change in the bacterial community were observed after just eight years of revegetation. The bacterial communities in younger restoration sites were more similar to cleared sites, and older sites were more similar to the remnant patches of woodland." The researchers say that eDNA metabarcoding holds great promise as a cost-effective, scalable and uniform ecological monitoring tool to assess the success of the restoration. "Although still needing further development, this tool has significant scope for improving the efficacy of restoration interventions more broadly and ensuring the global targets set are achieved," says PhD student Nick Gellie, lead author of the work. ### Media Contact: Professor Andrew Lowe, Chair of Plant Conservation Biology, Environment Institute, University of Adelaide.

Great Value for Money
Searched the internet for best buy and best quality, read reviews and decided on this greenhouse. Customer service is very good and delivery driver very helpful and rang before delivery. Quality of greenhouse is great, very sturdy with spacious headroom. Took ages to erect though. Majority of items were clearly labelled but not all, and some were hard to identify. The instructions are rubbish, put it together and took apart lots of times as put some parts on the wrong way round or missed out screws because diagrams/instructions weren't clear or non existent. Hooray for the internet, found a couple of websites that helped and youtube. Overall very happy with greenhouse and would recommend it.

Liked the look of this greenhouse, not least the price which I thought very competitive. The extras are well worth considering, the louvre is good at increasing air circulation and I've found the staging essential. Glad I bought this one.

Lots of Working Area
This Halls greenhouse gives you lots of working area for your money and that's why I bought it. The double doors make access in and out of the greenhouse so much easier - I don't think I would recommend a single door greenhouse now I've got double doors. I also ordered some staging and an automatic vent which means one of the windows opens and closes itself as the temperature rises and falls again. Make sure you sue gloves when putting it up, especially with the glass, which is obvious really. The basic frame is very simple to install, the most difficult thing is identifying which piece is which, but a lot of them are the same to be fair. Looks good when finished and with some plants inside.

Voice-enabled products are rapidly penetrating both consumer and enterprise markets. The expectations are that in the near future voice interaction will become a key interface for people's Internet-connected lives.
Currently, the voice product market is heavily dominated by a few giant tech companies. This is unhealthy as it stifles competition and prevents the entry of smaller companies with new and innovative products.
Mozilla wants to change that. Our engagement in the development of voice-related products is a natural reflection of the company's mission of empowering people to take control of their online experiences. Mozilla wants to open up the voice product development process, to make it transparent and accessible to everyone. The Competitor wants to take the next step: we would like to identify and integrate a full plan to define the voice technology space by creating a "stack" of open source technologies to support the development of new voice-enabled products.
What is it?
The objective of this Challenge is to create a comprehensive stack of open source voice-enabled technologies for the development of voice-enabled products. For the purpose of this Challenge, we define voice-enabled technologies as "technologies that use voice as an interface, allowing people to interact with various connected devices through verbal means — both when speaking and listening."
Mozilla wants to improve this list by adding more relevant technologies and then place the list in a public repository for open access. To achieve this, all proposed technologies in the stack need to be open source licensed.
