Well, what I did with my son, who is now almost 3, I let him eat whenever he wanted and whatever he wanted. Your child will not starve he will eat when he/she is hungry. I gave my son vitamins as well just to make sure he was getting all the nutrients he needed. Also I noticed that when my son was going into a growth spurt that he would eat alot before the spurt and not really eat at all during it. Its a hit and miss situation sometimes they will eat sometimes not. My son still to this day still hardly eats anything.
What can I do about my 18 month old not eating?
Finding a balance between what children want to eat with what children need nutritionally can be a struggle. But what do you do when your child does not want to eat at all?
My son goes through phases like this...sometimes he'll go two or three days eating everything in sight, then for a week or more he won't eat enough to keep a bird alive! I was very stressed about it at first, but after talking to a few other moms more seasoned than myself, I realized this was not all that unusual, and he would eat when he gets hungry. If there's anything your child WILL eat, even if it's pretzel sticks or crackers, just keep those on hand and let him/her eat at will. In the meantime, I would suggest talking to your pediatrician about getting recommendations on supplemental vitamins, beverages, etc. I know there are drinks available that are formulated for children and provide all the nutrition they need. Then anything they eat on top of that is just gravy...so to speak. Good luck!
My daughter is 18months but she does not eat much. I tried giving her healthy stuffs like fruits , veggies meat.But she throws everything out & refuses to even open to have a taste.She just eats Cheerios oatmeal some days only 2 spoons.I am so worried and tried. Please give me some tips ..
Hi I'm going through the same problem I know u posted this in DEC..BUT I WAS WONDERFUL IF IT'S GETTING BETTER
i have given my daughter apple sauce freshly made two days in a row with two 8oz of milk and munching on snacks, trust me i am worried too.
I'm currently experiencing this. It is very irritating and stressful as you all had mentioned. But now that I know I'm not alone makes me feel a little better
I have the same problem with my son, who just turned 2, now and then. It worried me at first. but from what I've been told by our doctor, it's completely normal. The doctor said toddlers need 2000-3000 calories a week (and as adults we need that much per day!). And if they get all those calories by eating really well for like 2 days, and doesn't eat well the rest of the week, its totally normal. Most toddlers go through it. Just like us, they know to eat when they are hungry, and don't eat when they are not!!
My son turns three in August and he does this mostly during dinner time, thus we started having breakfast for dinner! It may sound weird but at least I knew he was eating something. Some little ones are just stubborn (I think he gets that from me though) Hope it helps!
i have a problem with my baby she is 1year and 7months now she doesn't want to eat the food only she like to drink in her milk pls help me im worried for her
my daughter is about the same age too, she is still drinking her milk but it can be a challenged at times. she see food and then sometimes she don't want it. i do get worried but her grandmother is more worried than me, lol. soon will be doing the doctor visit and we will see if she is underweight or healthy, keep trying so am i
my son is now 2 year old but he is very wea
k and eat noting every time hi vomet i am werry about my son wath can i do plz ans me wath is best for my son
What I did for my #2 son who was a picky eater we gave him lots of crackers and breads and whatever he wanted to eat like baby carrots ect. He is 23 now and still thin! LOL but he's healthy so don't worry too much about it. He will eat when he gets hungry as long as there is food available. Good luck!
A good rule of thumb is a tablespoon of each food per meal per year of age. ie: 1 Tb fruit or veg, 1Tb protein, 1Tb carbs for a 1 year old. They have little tummies. So even if it looks like they aren't eating enough, they probable are.
My daughter did the same thing at 18 months. Her nutritionist told us to let her eat what ever she wants but to try to still introduce her to new foods. For a while all my daughter would eat was apples, banana, and oranges once in a while eat mac-n-cheese. She loved her pizza. Have you ever watch Yo Gabba Gabba? They have shows the children to eat new foods and try new things. So now that my daughter is 2 1/2 she says all the time that she likes it she tried it. It will be frustrating, hard. But they are at the age were they are learning to eat what they want. It took my daughter 4months before she started to really eat again. You got to have the patience to wait on your child. Every child goes throw this and there is nothing that anyone can do about it. Just keep giving your child what he or she will eat. Also make sure that you cut back on there amount of milk. If they are thirsty give them half water and half juice. They also had told me about that too.
Can someone help me very worried shes loosing weight on me all she wants to eat is junk food and not proper dinners
i m much worried about my child health he is 18 months old and very weak plz suggest me
My daughter just turned 2 in June and some dayz i could pull my hair out trying to get her to eat. She loves breakfast tho a big bowl of cereal (special K or cherrios) but the rest of the day it's difficult. So i've decided to experiment with foods. For lunch i've been trying smoothies. @ first i was unsure of a smoothie as a meal but if i put a whole banana, a yogurt, juice and more friut in it what more could u ask for, and she loves them. I'm also gonna get brave in the next couple of dayz and try putting in carrots and spinach, but put it in with blueberries that way he/she doesn't see the icky green color. I always have some kind of crackers out for her, gold fish, special K crackers, mini rice snacks and things of the sort. I've just started doing this the last couple of dayz and find that by supper she is hungry. But hang in there, i know i'll still have dayz that by the time my hubby comes home i've given up and told him it's his turn, lol. She loves french toast, egos, pb&j sandwiches, yogurt, fruit but veggies is a hard one so i try to sneek them in food when i can. Good luck to all those mama and dada's struggling with this! ;D
First, talk to your paediatrician. They will have some advice.
Secondly, do not make the table a battle ground. The more you push and force the more they will fight back.
Limit snacks and have structure meal times. Do not negotiate with treats. Let your child play with their food and squish it, smash it, spread it around. Let them laugh about it. Make eating a positive experience.
If they take a bite of an apple - say "whoo-hooo, good for you. can you take another?".
If your child doesn't eat their meal - don't give dessert or treats. If they are hungry they will eat.
Also, be sure that you are not filling them up with milk or fluid before meals. If they are drinking a lot they will feel full.
Don't make your child sit until they are finished every bite. This will just make meal time a battle ground and they will win.
If there are serious problems, there are eating clinics and special dr. to help with food and eating issues. Don't be afraid to ask your Dr. if you are truly concerned.
thank u
my boy is 20 mth and doesnt like to eat most food though he will have 3 weetbix !!!!for breakie .he will eat apple and yoghurt ,sausages and CANNED spaghetti!!!! i always put new and foods he doesnt like on his plate but when i sit down with my steak and big salad i sit close to him (and while i HATE people touching my food ) have found he loves certain veges !!!!
mind you it has only been in the last month that he will eat bread!!! thankfully
Don't put too much food on his plate at one time, have small portions on a small plate as it might seem overwhelming to him and then rather than try anything he won't eat at all.
I always offered healthy snacks (fruit, veggies, cheese etc) if my chilkdren were hungry between meals and at least if they didn't eat a lot at the next meal I knew they had had something. If he is snacking he may not be hungry enough to eat when meal time comes.
If you think he has had enough at lunch for example don't offer snacks unless he asks and then he should be hungry for supper.
I found having supper at 5 or 5:30pm was best any later and my children were past being hungry and then didn't want to eat.
A variety of foods is always good to have for a meal and if food can be eaten cooked or raw offer it a different way at different meals. Having said that one of my children wouldn't eat anything else for breakfast except a bacon sandwich and a glass of orange juice for almost a year. (he had protein, carbs and fruit so wasn't too bad) Boy did I get flack from the grandmothers about not having a variety of foods. One day I gave him the usual and he refused and wanted cereal instead. When one of my daughter's was in JK she wouldn't eat anything for lunch but homemade chicken noodle soup, 4 crackers, milk and 2 chocolate chip cookies. After eating this for months one day she came home from school and nothing had been touched and she was complaining she didn;t know why I had given her that for lunch as she hated chicken noodle soup and she didn't touch it again for several years.
I know it can be frustrating especially when it seems as if your child isn't eating anything and other children are shovelling food into their mouths, I know it is hard but try not to compare your child with others or get drawn into the trap with other moms as to how much their child eats and yours doesn't. it will only make you frustrated and upset. As long as your child is healthy and the dr can do some tests if you are concerned about iron, mineral and vitamin, calcuim absorbance etc. Giving a good multi-vitamin such as Koala Pals and a good nutritious shake if he hasn't eaten much during the day will help.
Hope this helps, sometimes by the time you have figured out the solution the concern has disappeared. Take care Susan Roper
My son goes through phases where he doesn't want to eat so I give him Carnation Instant Breakfast shakes. That way I know he is getting nutrients, protein, & calcium and he thinks its just a yummy milkshake!
When my 18mos doesn't eat well, ta take him to Jamba Juice. This really helps to fill his tummy with fresh fruit and yogurt! It also sometimes give him an appetite once he is done! That's my trick, I'd you try I hope it work for you!
My son, now two and half years old is just the same. he was becoming very weak bcz he was not eating well. around 18 months age I started working on how to make him eat, and eat healthy. Thats what I found. There is almost every time a reason due to which he is refusing food.
- weather, if weather is very hot he does not like eating, what I do is offer him frozen or chilled fruits (cut fresh fruit into small pieces and freeze for few hours), fruit milkshakes made at home. Fruits also increase his appetite.
- he is digesting slow may be constipated a bit, again fresh fruits are my best bet
- he does not like the taste of the food I am offering, he generally eats all food groups but his objections are mostly on the seasoning of the meal:) e.g salt is more than he likes. He was unable to tell the reason so he just used to reject the meal and I took it as he is not hungry. When I realized that problem I just change his meal now to his taste.
- he is too busy playing and eating seems a boring task. I let him skip him meal once a while when he playing and he will get back to food when he feels like. but if I feel it is going too far and he may get overtired and sleep without eating, I took his meal to play area and feed him when playing. I dont recommend it as general practice but I think sometimes it is needed. My son was really underweight and all the advice saying "he wont starve himself" was not proving correct. He is so stubborn that he can starve him to illness.
- I noticed there are some good times of the day and some bad ones. In our case he eats more at breakfast so i manage good special breakfast. he wants something to drink after playing in afternoon so I plan milk or fruit shake at that time. At dinner he is mostly not hungry so I dont put that much effort in his dinner, he may manage with leftovers of previous meals.
I tried to put all the points which worked for us. I hope it is helpful.
Have you checked for things like Hand, Foot,& Mouth Disease? It's a very common virus for kids to get & it causes pain in the mouth from the sores. It could even be a sore throat from sinus drainage. Or like all the other moms have suggested it could just be a tiny phase. As long as your toddler is drinking fluids & taking vitamins he/she should be fine. But if it is a medical issue, babies have a strange way of dealing with pain & not letting us know all of the time when something is wrong. I will also add that too much fluid could be the appetite suppressant if your child constantly has a zippy it bottle available. You will both be fine. Follow your instinct.
I just giver her the formula (which has all the major nutrients). After one day of liquid diet, Laura goes back to being hungry and she eats everything I give her, or almost everything.
The doc always says, she'll eat when she is hungry, but don't give in to the temptation of giving her anything (even junk food) for the sake of having her eat something.
Most of all, try not to get frustrated... these little creatures manage to get just what they need.
my girl is almost 2 and most days she doesnt eat much. at this age they are still teething( two year molars) and it plays a big part in their appetite. i give her a variety of snacks through out the day, small amounts so she can pick and choose. a children's multi-vitamin once a day. if your child wont eat anything give them plenty of fluids, nesquick (iron enriched) is a wonder, and toddler formula is always a healthy choice. someday's i notice my daughter eats better after a nap. even late at night she'll wake up and have a snack cuddled up on the couch( no cartoons), then straight back to bed. they wont starve themselves, they will eat when they are hungry.
My daughter, who will be 3 in a week has had this ongoing issue since she stopped breastfeeding at 2 years old. I know it's frustrating because you sit at the table (or where ever) and look at your little one and wish they would just eat already! I agree with many of the moms here, I let her eat what she wanted, but gave her choices. So, if we were having meat loaf with rice and veggies and she only wanted the rice, I let her eat that, kept her plate available in case she was hungry later. Sometimes, she would go back to it, sometimes not. it's an option. I also I made sure i kept her favorites on hand and revert to that when she rejected everything. For example, I always kept cheese, cracker, and fruit in the fridge ready for her. She knew to go to the fridge and get what she wanted when she wanted. I give her a probiotic multivitamin, plenty of her favorite milk and yogurt around. I completely eliminated all sweet beverages and that helped with her appetite, no sweet snacks. If I HAD to give her juice, I stuck with honest kids juice which has less sugar per serving. My daughter and I still struggle, but it's improving to the point where we can sit at the table and go through our meals without her getting up after 2 minutes. Hang in there!
If you are worried that your child is not getting the vitamins and nutrients that he needs try giving him some Carnation Instant Breakfast. I will give my daughter one after dinner if I feel like she has not eaten much throughout the day.
make sure your child is not drinking milk too close to meal times. milk can be very filling, and children will tend to drink more than they need when drinking out of a bottle or sippy cup.
we were told in nursing school to give them food they can carry around, but that's tough when you're wanting to teach manners or go out to eat. I asked my dr about it and he said that kids this age usually have one good meal a day, so utilize it for good. Also he said that sometimes you have to get protein one meal, fruit another, and veggies another. You can't always be well balanced at every meal. This from a pediatrician with 4 kiddos of his own.
Wow...I think you and the other moms need to relax and think about the big picture. Maybe keep a log for a week of what your child is eating. You'll be surprised. From about 1 to 3, most kids are out of growth spurts and eat like birds. Their stomachs are small. Serving sizes are a tablespoon per food per year. I don't agree with any of the moms saying "let them eat whatever whenever ". I serve my kids a small portion of what we are eating with a cup of water or milk. If they choose not to eat it, they can have some instant oatmeal or wait for breakfast the next day. It's always the same options. Sometimes they don't eat anything, whine all night and eat just fine the next day. My daughter ate very little at this age and didn't gain an ounce for two years. I worried every day but the Dr assured me she was fine. And she's now 10 and wonderful. My son is 22 months and I'm dealing with the same problems. I'm taking my own advice knowing that this will get better. Also, I'm trying to use his crazy independence to help the situation. He eats happier and almost twice as much when he can make a mess.
Letting the kids have choices in what they eat can also help. Instead of "what would you like to eat?" for my son, I use "would you like crackers or apples?" so that it's less a question of if he will eat, but more what he eats, that he's controlling. Also, I have discovered the joy of eating with a straw. He loves smoothies (and you can throw all kinds of good things in those) and soups that can go through a straw. Dips are another delight - fish sticks, chicken nuggets, even burritos and eggrolls all have dipping possibilities. Letting my son help me make things sometimes gets him interested in eating the results - he's 2, but he can dump a cup of flour, etc. Things you can poke with a toothpick or skewer (and there's more than you'd think), odd things made bite size (sandwiches, fruit/veg), and turning almost anything into a sandwich (we have lots of cracker and cream cheese based sandwiches).
You might also see if there is a place he will eat more at - my son eats well in his car seat, but much less so with a table and chairs. I made food and we go for very little drives sometimes just so I can get him to eat. Other than that, as other moms have said, feed as much as they will eat, vitamins (including fiber if necessary), stay hydrated and as long as the kid is acting well, don't worry about it.
dont stress too much they all do it!! My daugter is a HUGE eater but then goes through no eating stages she has vitamins and I give her 'up and go' breakfast drinks when i think she hasnt eaten enough, good luck :)
i thought it was just my son. he is twenty months now and there are days he can eat and eat and then just stop. his doctor said it is simple ´´mamma decides what he will eat and he decides how much´´ plus some milk with every meal or snack. however little it counts and some water and thats it. am in sweden and we dont have vitamins for kids under three. so it all goes into what he eats. and when he looks and acts okay then there is nothing to worry about. keeping him dehydrated is very important. i hope this helps!
Our now 21 month old son has always been a light eater/nurser. He has never been above the 10th percentile for weight. Putting him in his high chair routinely with a variety of foods has helped along with always making sure he has a sippy of fresh milk handy. I, like some of the others on the site, will let him eat whatever/whenever I.e. he took me to the fridge one time, pointed to the freezer side; I opened it & he pointed & got all excited about a box of lo mein noodles w/ meatballs (20 min prep time); well, at 10pm, I wasn't too excited about cooking up some lo mein; but he ate & it did make me feel better.
I also agree w/ giving a vitamin supplement... Good luck!!!

I've just returned from the Mechanical Service Contractors Association (MSCA) Annual Conference this year in Colorado Springs. It's always a worthwhile event. Among its many good sessions was a presentation by Jim Baston, founder of BBA Consulting Group. His topic: "Engaging Technicians in Business Development Activities."
Your field technicians' role in your company's success can't be overstated. They're your eyes and ears in the field, your barometer of customer satisfaction, your on-the-spot troubleshooters and goodwill ambassadors. Therefore, the way they perform these various roles — while staying focused on technical issues — doesn't go unnoticed by customers.
Therefore, Baston says, it's important that your field teams act in way that can serve to indirectly generate more revenue, higher margins, and a higher level of customer service — all of which are very important in a business that's become more competitive because of improved technology, higher customer awareness of new technology, and the ability to learn about you through your level of social media interaction and reputation.
Baston says an engaged field service technician will actively build trust by the way they handle every interaction. In other words, what's their "bedside manner"? According to Baston, a survey has revealed that the doctors who are most likely to be sued for malpractice are the ones who have a lousy bedside manner.
Translated to HVAC, a technician's "field service manner" includes: appearance, honesty, dependability, discretion, knowledge, accountability, consistency, and, last but not least, their likeability and friendliness. They must show they care.
Do your field technicians know your company's mission statement? If not, have them memorize it (you do have one, right?). Repeat it as a group at every meeting. Your technicians need to be able to respond to every question with pride and knowledge that leads to customer confidence.
Baston says the key dimensions of service quality are:
reliability: providing what's promised
assurance: shown by their knowledge and courtesy and their ability to instill confidence
tangibles: the physical condition of the facility they are in charge of, and their personal appearance.
empathy: the degree of caring and individual attention they provide customers.
responsiveness: willingness to help and provide prompt service.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? Have you seen this at work in your company? Let me know when you 'have a minute'.
EXTRA, EXTRA: The first 10 contractors who respond with a meaningful comment get a prize! So make sure I can get back in touch with you.

Game 146: Toronto at New York
Some suspensions and fines have been dished out for Tuesday night's rumble in the Bronx between the Fightin' Jays and Bombers.
Yankees catcher Jorge Posada and Jays reliever Jesse Carlson — the two at the heart of the fracas — were each dealt four-game suspensions and fined $3,000 by the league.
Carlson said that he told Blue Jays player rep Vernon Wells that he did not feel he deserved as much as Posada and a few minutes later, Wells called Carlson and said the suspension had been reduced to three games and the fine was also trimmed. Carlson will begin sitting out Wednesday.
Word is that Posada's suspension will also begin Wednesday and has also been cut down to three games — not four. Fines were also handed to Yankees pitcher Edwar Ramirez — maybe to replace Rod Barajas' mangled chest protector? — and hitting coach Kevin Long.
New York's Shelley Duncan has also been suspended three games and fined. Blue Jays catcher Barajas also received a $1,000 fine, but he said he plans on appealing. Rod's fine was for "verbal abuse", but he said he was not given further explanation and he planned on appealing.
As for that one replay that appeared to show mild-mannered John McDonald taking a swing at Yanks skip Joe Girardi, they both insist it did not happen. Girardi called Johnny Mac a "peacemaker" and a "good man" and the pair met on the field before Wednesday's game to talk things over. McDonald was trying to pull players off the pile and the one camera angle made it look like he swung at the manager.

This is total BS that Posada got the same suspension as Carlson. Warnings were not issued until after Carlson threw way behind Posada and it was Posada who instigated the fighting when he pushed Carlson. This is blatant favourtism of the Yankee players yet again . There have been 15 Jays' batters hit in the last few weeks and 9 of them were Yankee pitchers tossing the ball . I don't care if Yanks in the post season and they need Posada, he should have thought of that when he started the fight with Carlson .
Yankee pitchers have hit more batters than any other team , why doesn't MLB do something to prevent what happened last night . You didn't see Hill or Encarnacion go after the Yank's pitcher or even make a comment or the other 6-7 Jays' batters that were hit in the last series. When yanks are losing their pitchers seem to take aim and always get away with it …total BS
A tip of the hat to Jessie Carlson; finally we retaliate. The only mistake Jessie made was he should have hit Posado right in the nuts.
Our guys have been hit 19 times in the month of September and we didn't retaliate. Scutaro takes on in the head from Beckett, we do nothing, so Becket throws one at Barajas's head-and we still don't retaliate.
I get the feeling this is from Cito's direction. But fact is, if someone throws purposely at one of our guys and we let them get away with it, they do it again.
I don't agree with the suspensions being the same, clearly Posado should have received a more sever one than Jessie, but it is NY and they always get special treatment from MLB and the umpires.
My take is that the incident was a carry over from the series in Toronto where 6? of our batters were hit. If the umpiring crew had done their job in that series, issued warnings, and maybe tossed somebody, this would likely never have happened.
Is it just me, or were warnings more frequent in years past? With the number of batters knocked out of games by wild pitches this year, I think the rule should be enforced more strongly before someone suffers a serious injury.
I might be wrong, but when the warning rule first came out, warnings were issued after the second batter was hit, and sometimes after the first one. This year, in all the Jays games I have watched, I haven't seen one warning issued.
There was no warning issued when either Encarnacion or Hill were hit , not until Carlson threw behind Posada ( a pitch that was waist high and a good 2 feet away so nowhere near Posada) . You are right , last series 6 or 7 Jays' batters were hit and not one warning. . The thing that I find upsetting is that Posada was ejected and never left instead he came after Carlson. If Posada had left, as he was suppose to, things would not have escalated to the point they did . I feel because Posada was ejected and didn't leave he escalated the situation and he should have received a longer suspension . At some point a player will get seriously injured , MLB needs to curb all this before that happens . Ruiz was fortunate that his jaw didn't get broken last series or Scutaro didn't end up with a concussion when he was hit by Beckett .

Dirty socks
I am officially working the no sleep...I can't remember if I slept or for that matter when. I don't pick up the camera as much as I should. There are a bunch of things I should probably be doing right now and laundry just isn't on the top of my list.
Baby life is pretty standard. Simone won't let me out of her sight, or put her down for longer than 10 minutes. It is hard to get things done.So the dirty sock can lie in the middle of the floor a little longer...
Note to self : No more babies

Nkrumah Vision Too Big For Africa's Current Leaders
"How can an African country face a Europe that is united, negotiate with a big USA or Japan or China? If we have a United States of Africa, then Africa can be on an equal footing and negotiate with them," the Libyan ruler said.
[African News: Analysis]
African leaders who met recently in Accra, Ghana for the AU summit walked through the chapters of history and relived Kwame Nkrumah's ideals by calling once again for a United States of Africa. Yet the continent seems no closer to that lofty goal.
If Nkrumah were alive this year, he would be 97 years old and would be happy to see the new crop of African leaders treading on a path he would have wished to have happened earlier on in the century.
A few days before the AU summit, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi spoke strongly about the concept of a United States of Africa. He was quite emotional about it and wanted Africans to voice their support for this concept which he hoped would bring dignity for the Africans, bring new hope for its children who are running away to other parts of the world and improve the livelihoods of millions of people on the continent.
"The OAU failed, the Council of African ministers failed, the African Parliament is a rump parliament," Gaddafi told a rally of more than 50, 000 people in a stadium in Conakry, Guinea, before the parley; he was referring to the Organization of African Unity, which preceded the African Union (AU).
"In Africa we have not been able to create a government of union nor any instrument of union to bring about our aim. These instruments must be created in Accra, the voice of the people must be heard at last. The masses of the people want roads, bridges, health, education, agriculture, water and electricity," Gaddafi declared.
"I see in front of me young people who want to leave for Europe by transiting through Libya. Why do we want to go to Europe? We must decide to live and die in our countries—all that must stop, thanks to the creation of a United States of Africa," he added.
People in Africa have heard this before. Is it a question of a new wine in old bottles? Is it something of a political rhetoric coming too soon for a divided continent? The dream of a United States of Africa was voiced half a century ago by Nkrumah.
This long-standing plan for a Pan-African government was shattered by divisions during the days of emerging African ndependence. Can this ideal sail through when divisions between rich and poor, Black and Arab, Muslim and Christian, and scores of armed conflicts are still raging as we see in Somalia and Sudan's western region of Darfur?
"How can an African country face a Europe that is united, negotiate with a big USA or Japan or China? If we have a United States of Africa, then Africa can be on an equal footing and negotiate with them," the Libyan ruler said.
Nkrumah and his crop of independence leaders like Mwalimu Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia and others wanted to remove barriers to movement which were drawn up by colonial rulers at the Berlin Conference in 1884. Gaddafi reignited the debate on the premise that if the European Union is succeeding as a bloc how can the dream of a United States of Africa first pioneered by Nkrumah fail? He might have been pleading to a quite a few deaf ears, in terms of Africa's other leaders.
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe and other African leaders support the view that the Union Government should be established through a bottom-up approach founded on the regional economic groupings such as Sadc, Comesa, Ecowas, the East African Community and the Central African Community. The AU has proposed a three-phase transition towards a Union Government.
2007 to 2009 would see the setting up a new executive commission; 2009-2012 operational and constitutional groundwork for the United States of Africa; and, 2012-2015, ensuring all structures of the United States of Africa at national, regional and continental levels are in place.
Many people in Africa still think it's premature to talk about establishing a United States of Africa. But practical examples of success, including the EU model, are there for Africans to see. Much ground has been covered to remove barriers to movement and trade in most African trading blocs.
But challenges remain. Visas need to be scrapped. Yet, rich and powerful countries will do everything to divide and weaken African countries. This enables the outside world to exploit Africa's resources without adequate compensation. A strong and united Africa would mean an end to such exploitation and the beginning of a partnership of equals. As early as 1963, Nkrumah had addressed this issue:
"For centuries, Africa has been the milk cow of the Western world. Was it not our continent that helped the Western world to build up its accumulated wealth? We have the resources. It was colonialism in the first place that prevented us from accumulating the effective capital, but ourselves have failed to make full use of our power in independence to mobilize our resources for the most effective take-off into thorough-going economic and social development."
He had added: "We have been too busy nursing our separate states to understand fully the basic need of our union, rooted in common purpose, common planning and common endeavor. A union that ignores the fundamental necessities will be but a shame.
"It is only by uniting our productive capacity and the resultant production that we can amass capital. And once we start, the momentum will increase, with capital controlled by our own banks, harnessed to our own true industrial and agricultural development, we shall make our advance."
These words rang true then and even more so today. If Europe is moving ahead with a common parliament, currency, social, political and economic policies, scrapping visas and forging a new and stronger unity, why not Africa?
Should we continue to evade this important issue by making excuses? Do we still want to see a Kenyan going to the French embassy to apply for a Senegalese visa or Senegalese going to the British embassy to go to Kenya? Do we still want Zimbabweans to apply for a visa just to go across the Limpopo River to South Africa and vice-versa?
Well, let's allow Nkrumah to again provide the answers: "But if we fail and let this grand and historic opportunity slip by, then we shall give way to greater dissension and division among us for which the people of Africa will never forgive us. And the popular and progressive forces and movements within Africa will condemn us."

YES! Magazine Project Censored Awards, 2009-2010
For more than 30 years, Project Censored has searched out the most important undercovered stories of the year. Those stories tended to follow the standard wisdom: "Real news" is about what's going wrong in the world. But in 2008, Project Censored began offering a new feature: a list of the top underreported stories of hope and creative change.
In the latest installment, stories of powerful ideas and practical actions from YES! Magazine once again make up the majority of the chapter.
Project Censored writes: "These stories suggest that a better world is both possible and practical… and that every day, all over the world, people are solving problems. The message is simple: Stop fighting or lamenting existing reality—be an innovator and help create something better."
Local Food Comes to a Neighborhood Near You
Communities across the United States are turning to local food to improve health, strengthen the local economy, and bring fresh foods to those living in food deserts. While school cafeterias, such as those in Boulder, Colo., incorporate fresh and regional produce to combat obesity, University of California students have launched a movement to serve 20 percent "real" food on campus by 2020: referring to products that are local, fairly traded, and environmentally sound. In Savannah, Ga., the Southeastern African-American Farmers Organic Network regularly hosts farmers markets at historical Forsyth Park—a location African-Americans were excluded from just decades ago. Cities like Seattle and Minneapolis fund the creation of community gardens on vacant land, and San Francisco requires that all farmers markets accept food stamps. Community gardening has even gone cyber; website Hyperlocavore connects "landless gardeners with land hosts" to involve everyone in the movement.

Outrage Turns to Action Over Supreme Court Decision on Corporate Elections Funding
Seldom since the Dred Scott decision in 1857 has a Supreme Court ruling been so clarifying, and viewed as so wrong by so many. Just as Dred Scott caused outrage by declaring black people could not enjoy full constitutional rights, the Citizens' United case is causing outrage by declaring that corporations have the constitutional rights of people and can spend unlimited amounts of money on elections. Across the political spectrum, polls show, people oppose the decision and many are getting organized to protect the rights of real, human people to elect the representatives of their choice, free of the outsized influence of corporate treasuries.

Worldwide Climate Movement Flexes Its Muscles
The December 2009 United Nations climate talks in Copenhagen did not produce a binding treaty, but they did galvanize a united international movement of people calling for solutions to stop runaway climate change. The movement builds on years of political organizing in Europe, the United States, and around the world: In Europe and Australia, civil disobedience training camps have blockaded and shut down coal-fired power plants, and in the United States, rural conservatives have joined young people to protest mountaintop removal mining. On October 24, 2009, citizens in 181 countries staged demonstrations during a global day of climate action coordinated by the group 350.org, founded by author-activist Bill McKibben. In December, climate activists delivered a petition calling for an ambitious climate treaty to the United Nations with 10 million signatures.
When negotiations broke down and leaders failed to agree on a binding deal, countries from the Global South and civil society groups stepped forward to propose their own solutions. A climate conference held in May in Cochabamba, Bolivia, drew thirty thousand people. The gatherers drew up a "People's Agreement," which demands that wealthy nations must slash their carbon emissions and pay for the damages that climate change will cause to developing nations.

Wall Street Banking Crisis Spurs Development of State Banks
At a time of state budget crises, North Dakota has a sizable budget surplus, and while other states are cutting back on essential services and jobs, North Dakota is adding jobs. How is it different than other states? North Dakota is the only state in the United States that owns its own bank. Now, other states are taking notice. Massachusetts, Washington, Illinois, Michigan, and Virginia have bills introduced in their legislatures, and state leaders in Missouri, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Vermont are also calling for studying and developing state banks.

Happiness, Not Economic Growth, Is Becoming the Goal
Increasing numbers are recognizing that growth-at-all-costs policies can't continue: Growth-based policies may increase the wealth for the already rich, but they have failed to result in broad well-being. And fast growing economies are hitting up against limits to the planet's natural resources (including energy) and sinks for wastes (like the atmosphere). Global surveys confirm that the happiest peoples are not those living in countries with the highest growth rates or the most wealth, but those with the most equity, "social solidarity," work-life balance, and strong safety nets. Happiness is emerging as a substitute goal among researchers and leading policy makers, in the European Union, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), in the kingdom of Bhutan, and increasingly, in the United States.

Worker Ownership Burgeoning in the United States
Corporate outsourcing and trade policies that encourage the movement of production to the world's lowest-wage countries had already created long-term unemployment and community decline before the 2008 economic crash. But in the last two years, these trends have only gotten worse. Those facts are well covered in the media, but what is unreported is the growth of cooperatives, which are creating the sorts of jobs that can't pick up and move overseas, while helping some communities make a green economic recovery. Worker-owned coops are just one segment of the 30,000 cooperative business in the U.S. generating $500 billion in revenue.

Citizen Budgeting Comes to the U.S.
Born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, participatory budgeting has come to Chicago's 49th ward, the first place in the United States to adopt the practice that allows taxpayers to directly decide how to spend public money. Over 1,600 community members got involved in the process: proposing project ideas, planning budgets, and voting on which they felt were most important. Participatory budgeting has already spread to cities throughout Latin America and Europe, where the process keeps government spending transparent, changes governmental priorities, and makes democracy palpable.

Politics & Government
Dan Walters: Wage theft a real problem, but solving it isn't easy
The Capitol is accustomed – even inured – to political battles between unions and employers over laws governing labor-management relations.
Assembly Bill 2416 is, in that sense, just another in a decades-long series of such skirmishes.
But it also presents a genuine moral dilemma:
How can government help California's lowest income workers be paid what they are owed without subjecting reputable businesspeople to ruinous legal harassment?
The issue is called "wage theft" and it appears, from research in Los Angeles and other cities, to be quite common.
A study by UCLA's Institute for Research on Labor and Employment found that "low-wage workers in Los Angeles regularly experience violations of basic laws that mandate a minimum wage and overtime pay and are frequently forced to work off the clock or during their breaks. Other violations in the survey include lack of required payroll documentation, being paid late, tip stealing and employer retaliation."
Three years ago, the Legislature passed and Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill aimed at curbing wage theft with new laws, including tougher penalties on thieving employers.
However, unions and worker rights groups contend, even when workers win cases against employers and are owed back wages, collecting is very difficulty.
Their remedy is AB 2416, carried by Assemblyman Mark Stone, D-Scotts Valley, which cleared the Assembly last month and is now pending in the Senate.
It would give employees the ability to impose liens for unpaid wages on errant employers' property, including homes in some circumstances, and on property where the work was performed.
Filing liens would certainly increase the clout of workers in wage disputes, but business groups, calling the bill a "job killer," contend that liens could be misused to harass property owners not directly connected to the dispute and make it very difficult for lien targets to obtain mortgages and other loans. Getting liens lifted could take months, or even years, in an overstressed court system.
The Senate Judiciary Committee listened to victimized employees and business lobbyists this week, but postponed a vote with members clearly seeking a workable compromise.
Workers should be paid for their work, employers who cheat workers out of their wages should be hammered – but liens, or their threat, could become extortionate and discourage job creation if misused.
A better approach might be to expand the state labor commissioner's authority with even more severe penalties and perhaps the exclusive authority to file the property liens envisioned in the legislation as a last resort, and lift them when the back wages have been paid, minimizing the courts.
The state's goal should be to fill the wallets of cheated workers, not the bank accounts of lawyers.

The world's top diplomats are this week hammering out a deal to locate and destroy Syria's chemical weapons, a proposition that will rely on old rivals working together and require cooperation and coordination across continents by a vast international bureaucracy.
Already diplomats fear that competing regional and national interests, rivalries between agencies, a morass of ambiguous international regulations, and a desire to profit from a potentially lucrative operation, could slow or derail an already delicate process, officials told ABC News.
"This is a four or five-headed monster," said an official at the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the institution created under the Chemical Weapons Convention treaty, and responsible for assembling the team of technical experts and inspectors.
"Where there's business and money to be made, all kinds of countries and businesses are trying to get dealt in on this," the official said.
Several international organizations and numerous countries will play a role overseeing Syria's disarmament, but the question remains: Who will really be in charge of dismantling thousands of tons of deadly weapon in the middle of a war zone?
"These are all of the complicated issues we're working out," one U.S. official close to the negotiations conceded. Another U.S. official put less fine a point on it, telling ABC News, "It's a mess right now and no one really knows how it's going to work out."
Syria is believed to have a thousand tons of chemical weapons spread over perhaps a dozen locations. A declassified CIA report released by the White House indicated the regime's arsenal includes mustard gas and the nerve agents sarin and VX. The U.S. blames the regime of President Bashar al-Assad for an attack last month that killed more than 1,400 people.
This week the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council are meeting to flesh out a framework agreement the U.S. and Russia finalized over the weekend that would require Syria to submit a "comprehensive listing" of their chemical weapons by Saturday. Still at issue is whether a future agreement will be backed up with the threat of force by the council if Syria fails to comply.
Behind closed doors, however, diplomats and officials at international organizations warn that coming to a consensus that something should be done might be the easy part.
Who will make up and fund the team of inspectors? What will be the nationality and experience of its leaders? Who will offer inspectors security and protection on the ground? And who will negotiate with the Syrians to ensure they are given access to every site they're entitled to visit?
"Those questions are Topic A this week," said the OPCW official.
The OPCW is an international treaty organization independent from the U.N., but its mandate to operate in Syria, and all of the political wrangling needed to get inspectors into the country and moved safely between sites, would potentially be handled by the U.N.
Syrian Disarmament Efforts to Scrambled by Money, Politics, Rivalries
As part of the agreement, the Russians and Americans will each get their own experts involved. Iran, a party to the treaty and currently a voting member of its executive committee, will also likely try to get one of its inspectors on the team, said Stewart Patrick, a senior fellow at the Council for Foreign Relations.
"There's going to be a lot of horse trading. Both personality and nationality are going to be important factors for the people involved to make this credible. The U.S. is not going to just sign off on a bunch of clowns," said Patrick, an expert on international institutions.
British Foreign Minister William Hague said this week that the UK would send its own inspectors, even though none of the parties involved have yet to approve a British presence, according to an official at U.N. Office of Disarmament Affairs.
Other countries, with seemingly no stake in the conflict, are also jockeying for a role in the inspection regime. Former weapons inspectors pointed ABCNews.com to a 2012 report drafted by the Norwegian Foreign Ministry being circulated among diplomats and inspectors, entitled "Weapons of Mass Destruction: How to Set Up an Inspection Regime."
"The framework agreement is bringing all kinds of customers out of the woodwork," said an OPCW official. "Norway would like to deal itself in on the business of conducting this operation. It's strange that anyone would tell OPCW how to set up a verification regime."
Disarming "a country at civil war and at warp speed is uncharted territory" said Patrick of the Council on Foreign Relations. The makeup and governance of the team is critical because "different countries have different stakes about how successful they want disarmament. Iranians don't want success. The Russians might want to slow roll the process."
Once inspectors are on the ground, finding and destroying those weapons will be its own daunting task.
"Nothing about this will be easy," said Gwyn Wifiled, editor of CBRNe World and an expert on weapons of mass destruction. "The inspectors will effectively become a third player in the conflict. It will be difficult to get to places they need to go, and they will be forced to rely on the Syrians for information and security."

gsummer Thanks Man for the minor league site hours and hours of entertainment for everyone.
gsummer I went to the Boston site and posted myself.How about Aaron Hill tie game but not for long McGowen looks like the McGowen of old no good or was he left in to long by Gibbons again.God I hate that manager.
Here's exactly what I mean by Gibby not handling pitchers well. McGowan had already thrown the best part of 100 pitches and struggled all game.
So why send him out in the 6th and why let him pitch to Varitek when we have two lefties in the pen?
Probably will cost us the ball game and just when we got momentum back .
Great manager call.
Brilliant managing
Gibby keep making high quality decisions like you did tonight and we'll be out of it by Monday morning.
Although I'm not a big Gibbons fan, I think you guys are way too quick to criticize his decisions. Scott Downs pitched the previous two games, so there's no way he's coming in tonight. So that leaves one lefty in the pen (Tallet), and I think Gibbons had the right idea trying not to use him so early in the game (the 6th inning).
McGowan didn't have his best stuff tonight, but he should be able to buckle down and go six innings. Besides, the only other "6th inning" guys the Jays have are Wolfe and Frasor, both of whom don't inspire a lot of confidence against a potent Red Sox lineup in a tie-game situation.
I dunno. It's easy to criticize in hindsight. All in all, I just think Gibbons had the right idea trying to stretch McGowan through the sixth so he could hand things over to Jannsen in the seventh.
Looks like another brutal loss, though, especially after the momentum seemed to be swinging in the Jays' favour….
Oh, and I just noticed Janssen had pitched the previous two games, too, so it's unlikely he's available tonight either.
Posted by Ian Brown on the bosox blog
"On to other matters, what a throw by Coco Crisp to nail Glaus trying to get a double. Sure, Glaus was safe because Pedroia never tagged him. But nobody ever expected Coco to make a no-hop throw from the left-center field wall to second base. He's having an all-around great year in the field"
I wonder what the going rate for an Ump is these days
I noticed that Gibbons always keeps the starting pitchers in if it is a tied game and he wants to give the pitchers a chance to win the game. But it usualy winds up in a loss. I don't think the pitchers care that much if they get a win or not, but for the entire team to suffer the loss over Gibbons decision…… It makes me sooo mad!!!
Freedom Fighter: But as I mentioned above, who would you bring in that early in the game? Jannsen and Downs are both probably unavailable, DeJong hasn't proven that he can pitch in a close game, and Tallet is the only other lefty in the pen. Do you use up Tallet in the sixth when he might be more useful in the 7th or 8th to go after a tough left-handed hitter like Ortiz?
The only possibility seems like Wolfe, but he's a rookie with little big league experience. I dunno, it's a really tough call and I think it was worth giving McGowan a shot at going one more inning….
You hit the nail on the head-that is exactly what Gibby does and it almost always bites him.
By the start of the 6th McGowan had already ran out of gas. He could have brought Fraser or Wolfe in to start the inning.
Yes, Boston's offense is strong-which is exactly the reason you don't leave a pitcher out there that's ran out of gas.
If there's no faith in Fraser or Wolfe, call Brandon back up or Gronkowicz
I'll agree that Wolfe was an option in the 6th, but Frasor? He's been incredibly inconsistent this year and not reliable in close games.
League isn't ready to come back to the Majors — his velocity's not where it should be and his mechanics are still off. As far as Gronk goes, he's a great Minor League filler guy, but he'll never be a Major League pitcher. Did you see his brief stint with the Jays? Unfortunately, his stuff really doesn't look good enough.
Actually, League is very close-in his last 4 games he's given up no runs and apparently his velocity is back.
The only time Gonk was here he pitched 4 innings-which is 3 more than he normally went and gave up 1 run. I never watched the game but the results weren't bad. Vermilea did well here as well going 6 innings and giving up no runs. So if there's no faith in De Yong or Wolfe there are options.
I think what we needed to do was get through the 6th clean, get the hitters back up and maintain the momentum we got from the 6th. Sending a guy back out there that had already thrown 100+ pitches on a night he was struggling made no sense. Anyone would have been a better option.
My point though is like Freedom's. Over and over again Gibby does the same thing, whether he has options in the pen or not.
We can't afford these crippling losses-our season is coming to an end soon.
Yeah, I noticed League's only pitched 6 or so innings at Double AA. I think he'll probably need a lot more rehab time. Maybe we won't see him again at this level until the September call-ups?
gsumner: Although it'd be a great story if Gronk could make an impact at the Major League level, there's usually a reason why 29-year-olds don't get a chance to play above Triple AAA.
I dunno, most of the stuff I've read about him seems to indicate his chance has come and gone.
But, I love the underdog — it'd be nice if he could beat all the odds and make a push. It's a long shot, but you never know…
And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Jordan answer a question in his mail bag about Gronk? I think he might even have said that Gronk will be a great career Minor Leaguer, but that he's probably reached his plateau…
Yeah, Vermilyea didn't seem to be doing too badly here. I'm surprised he wasn't given a longer look. Then again, if you look at his Triple AAA numbers, he's been hit HARD. His ERA's near 6 I think….
Brandon has been at AAA for his last 11 appearances. In his last 8 outings, he's gone 10 innings and given up 1 run. JP stated Brandon would be back up here before the end of the month.
As i said, I didn't see Gonk pitch, I just know his results looked fine as had Vermilea's.
But Gonk isn't the point Gibby is; and he should have sent someone else out there for the 6th-we gave this game away.
Good to hear about League — we'll see what happens. Yeah, and sorry to harp on the Minor League guys, I just think we can't expect too much from them. A lot of them seem well past their prime….
As far as Gibbons go, I'm definitely not a fan. But, with that said, I think he made the right decision trying to stretch McGowan for another inning. I guess I'm just not a fan of babying starting pitchers. Pitchers should be able to buckle down even when their stuff isn't at their best. Think of Marcum last night — lots of people would argue he should have been pulled after the third inning, but he pulled it together and pitched shutout ball for the next three innings. Good stuff.
Anyway, those are just my thoughts. Good talking to you tonight….
The difference with Marcum last night and McGowan tonight is pitch count. Last night Marcum's was low, tonight McGowan had maxed out. The decision last night was the right one, the decision tonight was not.
And it's not about babying anyone; If a guy has nothing left in the tank take him out.
Have a good evening

A new home is a great time to start fresh and leave old habits behind. To make sure you don't forget anything in the process, use this handy moving checklist. It's full of great tips to help you from beginning to end. Print it out and post it on your fridge or bulletin board, so you'll always know what you have left to do.
Use the 4-Pile Principle to get rid of anything that doesn't need to move with you, and donate it to the Goodwill or Salvation Army. This saves space and money by lightening your load, and helps you get a better idea of how much you have to move.
Decide if you want to use a mover to help you move. If you decide on a mover, find a reputable one and get references. And book early if you plan on moving during the busy summer moving season, especially August and September.
Get lots of storage bins (more than you think you'll need) in different sizes. You'll need small bins for heavy items like books, and bigger ones for lighter items like pillows and bedding.
Get a head start by packing out-of-season clothes, holiday decorations and books you don't plan on opening again in the next few months. Try tackling one of these categories each week until you move in order to spread out the work.
Be sure to label ALL bins no matter how big or small. Label each one with the room it's destined for, a description of its contents, and the priority with which it needs to be unpacked (for example, sheets and towels may be a "1", while holiday decorations may be a "4".)
Don't leave empty spaces in bins. Fill in the gaps with blankets, beach towels, and linens to maximize space.
Keep all bins for a particular room stacked together. This will make it easier to unpack after you move, since they will likely end up in the same spot.
Tape or tie long items like garden tools or hockey sticks in bundles.
Inform utility companies of your move so you will have power and water service when you move in.
Be sure to notify the post office, your bank, any magazine subscriptions and other service providers of your address change.
Pack and label extremely fragile or meaningful items as fragile and consider moving them to your new home yourself to avoid damage.
Create a "moving kit" that you can take from room to room that includes tape, scissors, a label maker, Sharpies and wrapping material so you have everything you need at hand.
Pack a bin for your family that includes clothing and toiletries that you will need the week prior to and the week after your move.
Pack another bin that includes kitchen supplies like paper plates, plastic cutlery and cups that you will need in the first few days of your move. This will allow you to feel comfortable packing up your kitchen, knowing you can use these for pizza or takeout before unpacking the kitchen.
Pack linens room by room in Roughneck Clears and label them "1"s, so it will be easy to find them and make the beds in your new home.
Pack any condiments, perishable foods and other items from your fridge that you are bringing with you into a 5-day cooler, especially if you have a long move.

(13/P4) TRENTON –Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin today announced that approximately 50,000 cubic yards of fill dirt that was placed illegally within the flood zone of the Raritan River in Bound Brook, Somerset County, has been fully removed as the result of work spearheaded by the DEP's Compliance and Enforcement Program and the Attorney General's Office.
The removal done by a contractor for Brook Industrial Park followed a number of court actions led by the DEP and Attorney General's Office. A Superior Court ruling in 2011 found Brook Industrial, its owner James G. Schleck, and its property manager, Richard Dobrzynski, in violation of the state's Flood Hazard Area Control Act for allowing the fill to be deposited at the site by Arthur Fletcher, Jr. and his company, G&A Holdings, LLC.
Removal began in early 2012 and was completed last month. Small amounts of rock and concrete also were hauled away as part of the removal project.
"This is an important victory for the residents of Bound Brook," Commissioner Martin said. "Our message remains simple and clear: huge piles of illegally placed dirt such as those in Bound Brook are not going to be tolerated. The DEP is committed to taking strong and decisive action to make sure piles such as these are removed for the protection of the health and safety of our communities."
"This was an important environmental, legal and quality-of-life matter, and we're glad to have had a role in resolving it on behalf of the residents of Bound Brook," said Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa. "We remain committed to working with DEP – and to taking legal action wherever necessary – in order to protect New Jersey communities from environmental dangers."
The dirt threatened to exacerbate flooding by obstructing and restricting the flow of the river during flooding events. Runoff from the exposed dirt also threatened to obstruct the Raritan by carrying silt into the river.
"On behalf of the residents of Bound Brook, we are pleased that this dirt pile has been removed from our community," said Mayor Carey Pilato. "This work, made possible by the diligence of Commissioner Martin and the Attorney General's Office, removes a significant flood hazard from the borough."
The fill dirt at the Brook Industrial Park, which contained slightly elevated levels of a hydrocarbon known as benzo(a)pyrene, was moved to the former Nuodex Corp. site in Fords, Woodbridge Township, where it was used as grading material in the redevelopment of the site, which is part of the Keasbey Redevelopment Area project. The Nuodex site is authorized to accept minimally contaminated fill, such as the Brook Industrial Park material, under strict DEP oversight.
The DEP has been working with Woodbridge to clean up contamination at former industrial properties and develop the area as a gas-fired power plant and eco-park that will allow public access to the Raritan River and associated wetlands. The township is also developing a resource-recovery park for recycling, compost processing and other resource reuse.
Arthur Fletcher was initially charged in a 2009 DEP lawsuit. During the course of the case, principles in the Bound Brook industrial park presented various options for removal of the dirt but none ever came to fruition.

Coca-Cola Builds On Largest Olympic Marketing Effort In Company History
By Barry Janoff
July 5, 2012: With just three weeks to go until the Opening Ceremonies for the 2012 Summer Olympics, Coca-Cola has unveiled the latest elements in what it is calling "the largest Olympic-themed marketing effort" in company history.
Activation for the Summer Games, which run July 27-Aug. 12, includes eight Olympic-themed TV spots, a promotion via My Coke Rewards, a mobile Coca-Cola Swelter Stopper tour, limited-edition Olympic graphics on products at retail, downloadable music and graphics and consumer interaction via social media destinations.
Coca-Cola, an official marketing partner of the U.S. Olympic and International Olympic Committees, has already activated behind the 2012 Games in various aspects, including co-sponsor of the Torch Run currently making its way to London.
Coke said it would release eight TV spots during the Games across NBC Universal networks, which will be airing the events, as well as in theaters nationwide. The commercials feature eight current, former or Olympic team hopefuls who are official Coca-Cola spokespersons: David Boudia (diving), Henry Cejudo (wrestling), Marlen Esparza (boxing), John Isner (tennis), Shawn Johnson (pictured below; gymnastics), Jessica Long (paralympic swimming), Alex Morgan (soccer) and David Oliver (track & field).
Coca-Cola said the aspirational spots, part of Coca-Cola's "Open Happiness" campaign, would emphasize "the values of community, connection and support." Lead agencies are Ogilvy & Mather, Wieden + Kennedy and Leo Burnett.
"The new work captures the individual stories of support of our athletes on their Olympic journeys," Katie Bayne, president and GM for Sparkling Beverages, Coca-Cola North America, said in a statement. "Just like Coke, the energetic stories are all about patriotic optimism."
The beverage giant said that MyCokeRewards.com/theOlympics would "serve as the digital hub designed to bring families closer to the Coca-Cola 8-Pack of Athletes." Activation includes interactive athlete quizzes, instant-win prize opportunities and enter-to-win sweepstakes.
Coca-Cola's "On the Go with D.O." at My Coke Rewards offers consumers the chance to bring 2008 Olympic bronze medalist David Oliver (aka "D.O.") to their child's school for a "field day" of athletic activities.
The Coca-Cola Swelter Stopper is a mobile marketing unit that is scheduled to appear at more than 80 events throughout the summer. The vehicle "reflects the look and theme of the 2012 London Olympic Games."
According to Coke, it includes "blasts of frosty air to provide refreshing relief to visitors in the summer heat," an ice bar with a "perfect serve" Coca-Cola sampling experience, the ability for visitors to upload a photo and a message of support for the chance to appear in a montage "Cheers" video (which will be featured on Coca-Cola's social channels during the Games), an opportunity to view Olympic Games footage and take part in interactive challenges and a recording studio and photo station, providing consumers with a memento that captures the experience.
Coca-Cola recently offered consumers the opportunity to download messages and photos of encouragement for Team America. A collage of the photos will appear on a six-story Coca-Cola billboard in New York's Times Square billboard on July 18.

Les Garrigues olive oil
Olive oil
The olive plantations in the county of Les Garrigues, in Lleida, date from the last century. The extra quality virgin olive oils produced there are covered by the Designation of Origin.
This is Extra Virgin Olive Oil obtained from olives of the Arbequina (main) and Verdiell varieties. The Arbequina owes its origin and name to the village of Arbequa (Lleida). The oil is produced in the south-eastern part of the province of Lleida, where a total of approximately 36,000 hectares of olive trees are grown for this oil, covered by the Designation of Origin. The irregular relief of this olive growing area means they have to be placed on terraces. Harvesting uses the manual "milking" method directly from the tree. In this way, the aroma and flavour of the oil is not affected.
- 産品の種類: Others
- シーズン: All year round.
- 産地: The Designation of Origin covers the area occupied by the olive groves belonging to the county of Les Garrigues and some neighbouring municipalities in the counties of La Segarra and Meridional. The county of Les Garrigues includes 22 municipalities, El Segriá, 11, and the county of L´Urgell, 9.
- 種類: Depending on the way of harvesting the olives, there are two types of oil:
- Fruity: From the early harvest, greenish colour with body and bitter almond flavour.
- Sweet: From the later harvest, yellow in colour, fluid and with a sweeter flavour.
- 注意: Rich in lipids and vitamin E.

I originally saw a version of this on Pinterest and was smitten. I love my 1950s ranch house and think that a home is a welcoming place. I've always said that grabbing the front door knob of a building is shaking the hand of an old soul.
So I commissioned this dark brown vinyl 'Hello.' from an old high school friend of mine, Kristi Day, who runs a darling and affordable vinyl and crafty design shop out of her home in Burley, Idaho. She quickly worked something up to my specifications, sent me a proof, I paid her via Paypal, and it arrived in my mailbox within the week. I love it. Hello, home. And thanks Kristi!

Generalized breast lumpiness, also called fibrocystic breast
changes or benign (noncancerous) breast disease, is a common breast condition.
Generalized breast lumpiness tends to become more noticeable before a menstrual
period and can often be felt in both breasts around the nipple and in the
upper, outer part of the breasts.
Generalized breast lumpiness occurs most often in women ages 35 to
50. It usually disappears with menopause, when menstrual periods end. It may
continue in women who are taking estrogen for hormone
