Around 230 new electric
Charge point manufacturer and operator Chargemaster has been given the contract by Nottingham City Council to install the charge points in order to support the growing number of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles on the roads.
The City Council, together with Derby City and Nottinghamshire County Councils, was awarded £6.1m in 2016 from the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) to help support the uptake of electric vehicles.
The £2m contract will significantly increase the availability of publicly-accessible fast and rapid charge points across both cities and the county.
As part of the project, Chargemaster will also invest in 50 of its Ultra-charge rapid chargers in the area.
Planning for the new network is already underway and work is expected to begin in early 2018.
Charge points are set to be installed across 11 City Council-owned sites within the next six months, including park and ride sites close to major routes.
Councillor Sally
"The electricity used by the new charge points will be generated entirely from renewable sources, meaning every mile driven by vehicles charging on the network will be powered by renewable energy.
"Not only that, but an improved network is better for everyone. By enabling more low emission vehicles on our roads, we can reduce the emission of harmful gases, resulting in cleaner air for everyone in our city.
"Chargemaster has been involved in several schemes in other parts of the country and we're excited to work with them to deliver our ambitions for Nottingham.
Chargemaster will also be integrating the new network with its extensive POLAR user
David Martell, chief executive of Chargemaster, said: "We are extremely proud to have been appointed to develop the electric vehicle charging infrastructure across Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and Derby over the next three years.
"The council has a clear vision for Nottingham as a Go Ultra Low City and we are excited to be helping them to achieve it.
"The provision of public charging points for electric vehicles is critical for encouraging drivers to make the switch and ultimately to reduce urban emissions in our towns and cities."

On my first job I saw two men in an argument. One was a plant foreman, the other worked for the railroad. The argument was about the location and timing of "spotting" a coal car. It quickly became heated. At this point one of them removed his work glove in order to shake the hand of the other. They introduced themselves and then continued the argument.
As a boy just out of high school I saw how men should handle disagreements. I have a terrible feeling that now a different path is followed. Anger and even murder are stirred up in debates. Within the realm of the church, the results are resentment, permanent separation, and lifelong animosity.
I think of such "opponents" of long ago. George Whitfield and John Wesley. Both were Methodists, but Wesley was Arminian, and Whitefield was a Calvinist. This same argument goes on today, but the way it was conducted then at our nation's beginning is a wonderful example of how it should be done. These two men exchanged letters for almost twenty years, each laying out his case, and remained friends.
I am not so patient. As a Calvinist, I recommend all Arminians just read Romans chapter nine, and let Paul do the arguing for me.

new decade (and new appliances…)
Listening to: Norah Jones
Reading: CJ Sansom, Revelation
I'm going to do the looking back/forward thing on the year tomorrow. But we have a new decade coming up, so I want to look back on the Noughties as a whole (we were talking about it last night over dinner, so this list includes what the kids said...)
Overall, the Noughties were pretty good to me. We became a four-person family with the birth of Madam; Byron joined us; I got my hearing back (which I hadn't thought possible) and went back to music lessons; and careerwise I had my two biggest dreams come true – becoming a Mills & Boon author in 2001 (first book out 2002) and winning a literary award (RNA Romance Prize 2008). We made some really good friends, through work and school. We also extended the house quite a bit, so now we have a living space that really suits us. Yes, there was some dark stuff (mainly close family deaths and serious illnesses – some of which is still ongoing – and losing our first two spaniels), but on the whole it was a good decade. I feel grounded and settled, and that's a good place to be.
I hope the next decade will be as happy, overall. I know we have some more dark stuff coming, this decade, with our remaining parents getting elderly, but we're going to make some good memories to help counterbalance that (i.e. going to Italy in 2010, and I am SO looking forward to that). Our littlies will hit their teens, and be spreading their wings at uni towards the end of the decade (though they'll always have a home with us, if they need it). And we should also be paying off the mortgage this decade (cough, cough, depending on endowment performance, but I lost trust in that a while back and switched a tranche of our mortgage over to repayment, which will hopefully cover the shortfall). I guess we'll be heading for a new life stage. I hope the ride's as nice as the last ten years have been.
Yesterday was an 'interesting' day. Had to queue for ages in the post office (kids were wonderful and didn't moan at all, despite our ticket saying that there were 54 people in the queue ahead of us – our first experience of the new queuing system). 'You queued all this time just for passport forms?' the cashier asked in seeming disbelief. Cue saccharine smile from me. Yup. You didn't have any forms out in the rack, so the only way to get them was to queue up and ask you for them, was it not?
After all that, I was in the mood for spending money, and we have two domestic appliances that we bought in the millennium year and are on their last legs. First up was the tumble dryer – that's arriving next week. Had a look at the cookers in John Lewis, but there isn't much choice in the actual shop, and I'd like the up-to-date equivalent of my current cooker. Had a look online, and the one I'd like is substantially cheaper in House of Fraser (the difference will practically cover the costs of all four passports, so I do mean substantially), AND they do it in the colour I want. (Having seen the fingerprints on display models, no way are we having stainless steel; and this is a hard water area, so a quick wipe across a black cooker will leave noticeable streaks, whereas grey looks fine without having to be dried and buffed after wiping.) Just need to get a date from DH when his electrician friend can fit it, and then I can order it and arrange delivery.
As the kids had been so utterly brilliant during said tedious things, I caved in to daughter's polite request and took them to lunch at Giraffe. (I was good and opted for chicken salad. Mainly because the scales on… when was Monday? What day is it, again?? Anyway, the weigh-in wasn't good. And I'm so much fatter now than I was in 1994 that I look completely different and will need my passport renewal application and photographs countersigned. That's a bit distressing. Actually, it's really upset me. So the diet is back on, as of now. Probably the kick up the backside that I needed for sliding back, the last six weeks.)
Plan for today: sort out passports, then son's best friend is coming for a sleepover. Methinks they're going to be messing about with models, and I will be baking with daughter. And in between… the deadline loometh.

WOW you were brave going to the Post Office but goal accomplished.
Big hugs on the weight.
I am not that brave.
Perhaps next week when the Hotel Chocolate Box is out of sight?
Hope you have a lovely day. :-)

Nice look back, Kate. The great things so much outweigh the not-terrific.
Get all the holiday food out of the way and then restart diet. If it's still hanging around it's just too tempting.

Thanks for sharing your last 10 years. Hope you have another great 10 years and I look forward to reading many more of your books!
Spoiler alert! Whinge coming up! I'm with you 100% on the Post Office. I've turned in Gumpy Old Woman when it comes to queues there lately. Last time I queued I was eavesdropping (as you do) and no word of a lie, every person that was served was bombarded with the likes of "the PO does car insurance have you been on line to get a quote?" or, "have you considered the PO's telephone and internet connection package", or "the PO does house/contents insurance, would you like a quote?" AHHHH it was enough to make you scream! I'm sure the queue would have taken half the time to clear if they hadn't had to deal out the speel. Although in fairness they probably have to do their "quota" of advertisments every day.
Have a great New Year! Take care. Caroline x

What a lovely look back at the decade.
It's no good even thinking diets at this time of year, is it? Noooo. I have far too many chocolates left to eat.

Your look back at the decade got me thinking and I've started trying to put something together for my blog (which I will hopefully post over the next day or two). It's amazing to look back over 10 years isn't it?
Looking forward to your year in review and goals for 2010 :-)

Happy new year :o)

Caroline - thank you, and I hope the coming decade brings you a similarly happy writing career!
Blimey - they were flogging all their services? Hmm. Ours at least wasn't doing that. (Or maybe it's because it was heaving!)
Happy new year :o)

Shirley - you obviously had more restraint thnt we did over Christmas, then!
Happy new year :o)

Katie - it's been quite a decade for you, too, hasn't it? Moving halfway across the world and getting married... I'll be fascinated to see your decade review.

When someone creates a character they may not understand that they are creating a completely separate entity. There are new players who will try and base a character off themselves, but there will always come a point where the player has to let the character take over. This is because they have been but in an impossible or unthinkable situation.
This can help people learn how to act and or express themselves in new ways. It allows for people to try and recognize or understand how they will act in similar situations. It makes you think about that which most people might never consider.
An examples might help to get this point across. Vinnie was an up and coming gangster, when his world was turned upside down when he was turned into a vampire. Then as a vampire he gained the amazing power of illusions and this power grew until his illusions could become reality. Of course he had to do some inconceivable things such as killing and drinking blood and other such things. His amazing illusion powers however turned him into a paranoid schizophrenic because he could no longer tell illusion from reality while at the same time being employed as a puppet leader for the vampire group he had been adopted into.
Now imagine if you had been the player of Vinnie. Having to go through all of these inconceivable scenarios, would you have attempted to steer the character away from these events, rolled with the punches, or attempt to go beyond what happened?


text:
The Spurs have lost two games in a row! Where the haters and the national media? When the Lakers lose two games Coach Zen has lost his magic. Kobe Bryant is selfish and the triangle offense is dead! When the Spurs lose two games to the Knicks (NY Vinnie's alma mater) and the Old Head Boston Celtics no one even blinks. Seriously? I guess I should expect no less from the media pundits.
I am on the record as saying the Spurs are going to win 70 games. I have not wavered on that prediction and I still have absolute confidence in that roster and coaching staff. I also believe that Coach Popovich is one of the greats. Every team goes through mid season ruts. In fact this is the first time the Spurs have lost two in a row. At 29-6 the Spurs are well on their way to a record season. This is the only team that can knockoff my boy Kobe and the World Champions. The Spurs got some serious depth. Besides depth they are playing some off the hook D.
In order for the Celtics to beat the Spurs they had to shoot 60% from the floor and they still only scored 105 points. The Celts also needed Big Baby to score 23 and Allen to put up 31 and go 13 for 16. Is it possible the national media realizes this? Doubtful! The Lakers are a more juicy story and that is why they attack them like rabid dogs. Add to that the locale of LA VS San Antonio and there ya have it!
The Spurs get a pass while the Lakers have to face the fictious music created by the NBA "bleep storm" over Artest and Jackson having a mano a mano.

Editor's comments:- Market research company Gartner defines a blade as follows:- A blade server is a server contained on a card. Rather than installing servers one chassis at a time into a rack cabinet as is most common today, with blade servers, network administrators can install a server card (or blade) into a chassis that has multiple slots to hold these server cards.
In a recent report Gartner forecasted worldwide blade server shipmentsto grow from 84,810 units in 2002 to more than 1 million by 2006 but warned that standardisation questions may slow down market acceptance.

SANTA CLARA, CA - February 26, 2002 - Exemplary of Sun's commitment of "Collaborating for Customer Success", Sun Microsystems, Inc. today announced new free programs that make partnering even easier. Designed specifically for Sun's Worldwide iForce Partner Community, the iForce Information Source, iForce Partners Portal, Sun Developer Connection[sm] Partner Program and iForce Community Executive Management Forum initiatives provide Sun[tm] technology partners with direct access to the people, information and tools they need to help them accelerate time to market, differentiate value and reduce costs. By enhancing partner relationships, Sun is assuring its customers they will get best-of-breed, single-source solutions for financial services, government, healthcare, wireless, customer relationship management, and other key markets.
Editor's comments:- one of the "benefits" which Sun offers its marketing partners, is that Sun sells banner advertising on Sun owned and controlled sites. It has done for several years. FYI none of that advertising has ever appeared on the high volume SPARC and storage computer sites published by this publisher ACSL. We're independent of Sun, and always have been. However we recognise there's a need for more marketing info, which is why we set up MarketingViews. If you're involved in electronic marketing that'll give you lists of portals which reach far more people than you can with the Sun branded programs, and other practical info as well.

Storage Systems Demonstrate Ability to Rapidly Protect Massive Amounts of Data
Mountain View, CA, and Milpitas, CA - February 26, 2002 At the SNIA's Backup and Restore Workshop this week, Legato Systems, Inc. and LSI Logic Storage Systems will demonstrate how businesses can rapidly protect massive, growing amounts of data by optimizing their SAN infrastructure and consolidating storage.
More than 1 terabyte of data will be backed up in less than one hour using a combination of Legato NetWorker® 6 in a Fibre Channel SAN, LSI Logic MetaStor E4600, Sun E450 with LSI449290 host adapters, Brocade Silkworm 3800 switch, and Spectralogic 64000 Library AIT-3 tape drives.
"Businesses continue to generate data volumes at extraordinarily high growth rates while facing increasing application service level requirements. Meanwhile, there is less time to complete backup operations without impacting user productivity," said Flavio Santoni, vice president of sales and marketing, LSI Logic Storage Systems. "As a result, businesses are under relentless pressure to protect growing amounts of business-critical data faster. We are pleased to demonstrate with Legato, at SNIA's Backup and Restore Workshop, solutions that will help users backup massive amounts of information at extraordinary speed."
"Time to backup" is the number one backup and restore issue cited by enterprise companies, according to SNIA. ...Legato Systems profile, ...LSI Logic Storage Systems profile

Investigating the Impact of Market Power on Foreign Direct Investment Absorption in Concentrated and Unconcentrated Industries in Iran
|by Behnaz Heidarzadeh, Mohammad Nabi Shahiki Tash
|Foreign Direct Investment, Market Power, Market Structure.
|Open Access
|Access PDF Open in New Tab
The central purpose of this thesis is investigating the relationship between market structure and absorption of foreign direct investment in Iran manufacturing industries. Four firm concentration ratio and Herfindahl -Hirschman index are used to measure market power. Analysis of these indexes determines the concentrated and monopoly in the market and also provides a good background for understanding the relationship between market structure with FDI. In other words, this research seeks to answer that the 10 industries in ISIC based on two-digit code in Iran industries during 1996 to 2008 have what market structure (concentrated or unconcentrated) and what effect it has on absorption of FDI. Using regression analysis and panel data model, estimation results of model showed that there is a negative relationship between concentrated market structures with absorption of FDI. In Iran industries there is a positive relationship between export and economic scales with FDI.

Maybe what we need to warm things up around here is a good, old-fashioned climate-change debate.
NASA released this image today (strongly suggest you click on it to get the larger image) showing the difference between Arctic sea ice in September and the sea ice in the same location in March.
The yellow lines mark the the median sea ice extent observed by satellite sensors in September and March from 1979-2000, according to NASA.
The amount of sea ice in March was the second lowest recorded during that time. The amount in September was the third-lowest.
New data showed that the amount of older, thicker ice had increased slightly over last year. "Data through the third week of March shows an increase in sea ice one to two years old, and older than two years old, compared to recent years," NSIDC noted. "However, the amount of older ice remains much lower than in the mid-1980s, and there is still almost none of the oldest ice (older than four years) that used to dominate much of the Arctic Ocean."

Another solo outing, hopefully my last one as I think Erik is back next week. I travelled back to Nottingham from Teesside to do the show, and it took me a while to settle in. From arriving in Nottingham, having a shower and eating my tea I was then straight out the door and getting a tram to Bulwell for the show. I normally spend some time on a Sunday afternoon preparing, (honest), but I didn't get time. Luckily I arrive at the studio an hour before my show starts, so I had least had time to get some music together, make coffee and do some self promoting tweeting and face-booking (fifteen days into 2012 and I am still logging into facebook like it's 2008).
After a shaky start, as my brain wasn't really in gear, I got into the swing of it and produced a good quality two hours of music. When I'm doing the show alone there is more music and less talk.

#thedailyhustle | #1 The Friction Agency
8.5.17 | #1 Releasing Friction
The paradox of modern digital complexity: "Let's make everything faster, easier and more convenient. But in the meantime, we'll make everything slower, more difficult and awkward".
Idea: I think a business that trades in common-sense, to help businesses identify and release both old and new points of human friction created in pursuit of digital transformation, is both urgent, and would make millions. Quickly.
#dailyhustle is a simple commitment: share one idea with the world every day. Anything. Big, small, moving or ridiculous. It's an exercise in discipline. Gratitude. Creative altruism. And Reciprocation. If you like one, please steal it. But only if you plan to make, share or develop it. Or at least try. And keep me posted.

REO Demand Pushes Sept. Prices Up: Campbell Survey
National average home prices rose 6% from August to September, driven by an increase in real estate owned (REO) sales prices and transaction counts, according to a monthly real estate market survey conducted by Campbell Surveys. Increased demand REO property increased in September. The average price of distressed REO property was $124,500 in September, up from $106,700 in August. Combined with move-in ready REO, distressed properties accounted for 31% of purchase transactions during the month. The increase comes after a 1% decline experienced between July and August and was fueled by a 16% increase in home purchase transactions month-over-month, according to the survey. "Our survey statistics are indicating a mini-boom in the housing market," said Thomas Popik, the survey's research director. "There's a confluence of positive factors: historically low interest rates, high demand from first-time homebuyers before the expiration of the tax credit at the end of November, increased affordability, lower inventories of foreclosed properties, and a perception among homebuyers and real estate agents that the market has turned." Prices of non-distressed properties remained nearly level, up slightly to $268,200 in September from $267,900 in August. Non-distressed sales accounted for 55% of home purchases. Short sales took a 14% share of the transaction pool. First-time homebuyers accounted for 42% of home purchase transactions in September, and real estate agents surveyed reported that first time homebuyer traffic was up, while existing homeowner and investor traffic was down. The majority of first-time homebuyers in September purchased move-in ready REO, according to the survey. The results are based on a national survey of more than 1,500 real estate agents and changes in price and transaction rates are recorded by individual agent's reported activity.

Between the wars, there was only one way to travel between the Old World and the New. The great steamships crossing the Atlantic were microcosms of the societies which produced them, almost miniature floating cities. Vessels such as the Aquitania and the Queen Mary symbolised national pride and identity, and reflected the hierarchy of their times. First-class suites, decorated like historic boudoirs, were occupied by aristocrats, millionaires and glamorous celebrities. Second-class cabins housed the respectable, affluent and upwardly mobile. Down in the bowels of each ship, the third class passengers were located above the cargo; it was their £5 a head one-way tickets to America which kept the whole enterprise financially viable. The parallel 'floating population', the crew, officers, engineers, stewards, stokers and the all-powerful Captain, each had their own domains and duties. Life Below Decks was often hard and austere, but it offered unparalleled opportunities to travel the world. Using contemporary sources, diaries and archives, social historian Siân Evans reveals the unknown stories of those who sailed for leisure and pleasure, for industry or indulgence, in the hope of making a fortune or to escape an intolerable existence in their own country. Focusing on the 1920s and 1930s, she examines the phenomenal growth of transatlantic travel amongst all classes, against the background of increasing international menace as the Second World War loomed.

Advancing Ideas
Judges for the 10th annual University of Dayton Business Plan Competition heard 50 ideas for startups during the elevator pitch round and awarded first place to an innovative strap designed for heavy weight lifting.
Slap Wrap Lifting Straps and nine other business pitches will advance to the cameo round, where teams will have just five minutes to present their ideas for a great, new product or service. The round begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 21, in Miriam Hall room 209. The public is welcome.
"The quality of the pitches and ideas continue to improve every year," said Vincent Lewis, director of the L. William Crotty Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership. "The top 10 ideas moving on to the cameo round are all 'investment worthy' ideas that have a strong probability of becoming sustainable businesses."
Slap Wrap, presented by Keith Lamping, a doctoral student in the University's physical therapy program, won the $1,500 first-place prize. Lamping said during his 60-second presentation that the patent-pending straps will tap into the multi-billion dollar fitness market.
"He was able to explain the current market opportunity to the judges, talk about the benefits of his solution, frame the potential market opportunity and build the necessary trust that he could execute on his idea," Lewis said.
Other ideas that advanced to the cameo round included a device to help cystic fibrosis patients and an energy use monitor for apartment renters.
Senior entrepreneurship major Jessica Kerr won the the Women-in-Entrepreneurship Award sponsored by Ernst and Young and $2,500 for Aer, which will help cystic fibrosis patients determine if they need a trip to the hospital for further testing. Kaitlyn Roberts, a sophomore in the School of Business Administration, won the Top Sustainability/Green Technology Idea Award and $2,500 for PowerSage, the device to help apartment renters monitor their energy use.
Going forward in the competition, teams will receive guidance to help flesh out their ideas and get their startups off the ground.
Out of the cameo round, five teams will advance to the final round on March 5. The first place winner will take home $25,000, second place $15,000; third place $10,000; and fourth, fifth and sixth place $5,000.
The University of Dayton Business Plan Competition — one of the largest collegiate competition in the country with $90,000 in cash prizes and more than $100,000 of in-kind awards — added an Entrepreneurship-in-China track this year. An elevator pitch round is set for Jan. 10 at the University of Dayton China Institute in Suzhou Industrial Park. Two members of the first-place team will win free travel to Dayton to compete in the final round in March.
The 2014 second-place winner, Smart Barn, was recently named a finalist in the Verizon's worldwide Powerful Answers Award program. Smart Barn — a system of wireless sensors that continuously monitors livestock feed usage and barn temperature, power and ventilation, and sends alerts to a smartphone — could receive $1 million when winners are announced in December.

There's a young man in our community who has schizophrenia. We see him around town all the time. He walks, listening to his music, and without any prompting, except I'm sure for the song in his earbuds, he dances in the street. It's like interpretive dance, very flowy and bendy.
Tonight I decided to go for a walk. My walk turned into some light running and, as I was heading around a corner, this man jogs up beside me, joins me and starts chatting up a storm. My first thought was "geeze, now what am I gonna do?". We walked on a bit and then I said I was going to run some more (hoping I would lose him) and he said "I'll stay with you". Ummmm….well, ok. So we continued on, walking and running and chatting. We pushed each other to run a little further than I planned, and I ran more than I walked in the hour I was out.
I felt great when I got home, energized and happy. Instead of trying to lose the kid I decided to embrace the time with him, let him chatter on about the big plan he has in the works (it's a secret) and enjoy being with someone who a lot of people laugh at and make fun of. He's a pretty amazing person and his beauty shone through to me tonight.

Masters of Business and Science Program
Rutgers is helping professionals respond to growing international competition in science innovation with a new degree: the Master of Business and Science (M.B.S.).
As part of a national movement of professional science master's programs, the M.B.S. program brings together the Master of Science and the master of business administration degrees, with 24 credits in the sciences and 19 credits in business. Business classes introduce students to the management of science and technology. Course offerings include finance and accounting, marketing, communication and leadership, management of science and technology, ethics, and a capstone course covering entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship.
The Department of Mathematical Sciences in Rutgers-Camden offers concentrations in Industrial Mathematics and Actuarial and Statistical Analysis. These programs are tailored to students that are interested in a more applied program than the traditional MSCS degree program, who seek the master's as a terminal degree that will offer better opportunities for them in industry. This program is also suitable for working professionals that have some kind of scientific training and want to improve their computational skills, but feel they do not qualify to apply to the MSCS program because their undergraduate degree is not in CS. It is also designed for industry professionals who wish to update their skills; high school teachers who wish to expand their knowledge; or those who seek the intellectual challenge of continuing their mathematical studies. The Mathematical Sciences department uses state-of-the-art computational and visualization tools for instruction.
The target candidate for this program is someone with a science or engineering background, seeking professional training in computing skills that are most applicable in industry. An undergraduate degree in Mathematics is not a requirement to apply to the program.
Rutgers–Camden offers two concentrations within this program: Actuarial Sciences and Industrial Mathematics.

Sneaker Net
Sneaker net is an informal term used to describe the first PC network. This type of networking required storing data on a floppy disk (or even tape) and running across the room, and handing the physical media containing the data to another user. This network-sharing model is still in use in one form or another today.
Sneaker net, though sometimes useful, has a number of disadvantages. It tends to be expensive in both time and the mistakes that resulted from sharing resources in this manner. It is error prone because one user could update a file, while another user updates the same file in a different location. And sometimes, it is simply impractical because the users are located hours away from each other, necessitating that an overnight courier service be used to help sneaker the data from one user to another.
Sneaker net also provided limited functionally in business needs such as disaster recovery, mass storage, and fault-tolerance. Also, it simply wasnt practical to share many types of resources via sneaker net, such as fax capabilities and printers. These limitations provided the incentive for enterprising engineers to come up with a better way, and gave rise to the two types of network models for resource-sharing that are still in use today.
Both of these network models, the peer-to-peer and client/server models are structured in compliance with the OSI model, described in the chapter on Networking Standards. Also, both can be implemented on the same types of physical and logical topologies, which well talk more about later in this chapter.
Even with the use of these network models, network users may sometimes still resort to the physical sneaker net approach. For instance, when a large amount of information needs to be transferred from one host to another, and the network link between those two hosts is a very slow one (for instance, modem dial-up), overnight delivery may well be a more practical and efficient option to move the data.

Do you waste food? I do sometimes but have become quite good at eating all I take and using all I buy. Mostly probably because I don't cook so there's next to nothing to waste from an empty fridge.
Food wastage and lost are huge problems globally. About a third of all the food produced globally, is lost or wasted. Technically, we produce enough food for no one to go hungry in the world. The figurative fact doesn't comfort any of those 800 million people who don't have enough food to lead a healthy life. Or to live at all.
I currently live in the wealthy city-state Singapore, which despite its small geographical size is one of the world's top food secure countries. With the extremely limited agricultural ability, Singapore heavily relies on imports for food. Yet out of it's annual imports, in 2014 it wasted 13 % of it. According to the statistics form the National Environment Agency, Singaporeans waste 788,600 tonnes of food, which equals to the weight of 108 full load double-decker buses.
Attitude change of consumers – normal people like you and me – is essential to tackle the issue. I recently saw the below disturbing video by Ministry of Funny, giving light to the controversy of food wasting. People on the streets got really mad about the comedian throwing away food and tried to stop him – yet at home, behind closed doors, they do the exactly same thing. All the time. Maybe the food is not intentionally wasted – but it should be intentionally addressed.
Eating every you take and buy won't directly benefit any of the hundreds of million hungry people. But it is an easy action contributing to more efficient and reliant food distribution chain development and over time supporting to reduction of food waste. Being conscious of ones own choices and demanding grocery markets and food stalls to improve their practices as well will have direct positive impact. Reducing your own food waste is the least you can do.

Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands
I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always even to the end of the age.
Matthew 28:19-20
Matt Komenan
My life turned around on May 21, 2006 during service at First Baptist Church of Pflugerville. I was introduced to Jesus and He became the purpose of my life that day. My purpose in life changed from that point on. Serving Jesus became what I was living for. Spreading the Gospel and testifying about the unconditional love of Jesus are my daily goals. I was baptized and became a new man, who decided to live for Jesus from that day on.
Mariette Komenan
Mariette first received the Lord at the age of 16. She went through a very painful event in her life losing both her mother and father at a young age. The Lord then became her father and still is to this day. The struggles, the pain, the unanswered questions and going through life without parents gave Mariette the open heart to get involved with sharing the Word and the love of God to others, and to help the fatherless as God directed her heart.

About you, yeah"
Did we mention we like Chelsea Cutler..? Teaming up with ayokay this is an absolute jam.
Little info from the source:

I love spring and my CSA embodied it this week. There were strawberries, asparagus, greenhouse tomatoes, collards, red kale, and green kale. I'm in veggie heaven!
The more greens you eat, the more stems you have left over. I know some of you cook the stems and eat them with the leaves, and I commend you. In my household, I take out the stems whenever I'm sautéing because Cheryl will pick them out.
Instead of throwing them out or composting them, I've been using them in sauces and pesto too. I want you to tell me what you use your kale stems for in the comments. Do you just eat them with the leaves, make a fun sauce or spread? Maybe yours go into the compost to grow some new kale in next year!I went ahead and prepped my greens once I got my CSA and had a huge bunch of green kale and a giant bunch of collards.
What that entails is rinsing off any clumps of dirt off the whole leaves and tearing them off the stem into bite-sized pieces. Then I put them in a lettuce spinner, wash them more, and spin them dry.
I store them in a resealable container that I lined with clean paper towels. This helps keep them fresh longer.
- 1 1/2 cup kale stems
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup cashew
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt optional or to taste
- 10 rosemary leaves not sprigs!
- Add everything into your blender and blend until smooth. Optional: You can add up to 1/4 cup extra unsweetened nondairy milk to make it smoother and creamier.
- Serve over pasta, spread on sandwiches or use as a salad dressing.

Who is Malaa? Well, no one really knows the answer to that because he dons a black balaclava on stage. There are several theories as to who he might be, some fans believe Malaa is an alias for Tchami, and some believe Malaa might be DJ Snake. No one knows! Maybe it's both? Or someone new entirely?
Get down to some bass house and see what all the hype is about Malaa this August! Who knows, maybe someone will finally solve the mystery about who Malaa is.

|Srimad-Bhagavatam is meant for all human beings and it is the duty of the Hindus specially the Vaisnavas to disseminate the great knowledge throughout the whole world. With this purpose in view I have taken up the mighty project and I wish that you gentlemen cooperate with me fully. The cooperation is possible to be made either by life, wealth, intelligence or words. Every one has got some of the above assets of the above four principles if not at least one of them must we have and we can engage them in the service of the Lord.

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
|"By establishing a godless civilization we are not happy. We are not happy, just like the same way, not supplying foodstuff to the stomach, we are thinking of becoming happy. No, that cannot be. If the senses of the body, parts of the body want to become happy, then he, the senses and the parts of the body, they have to supply foodstuff to the stomach. Similarly, if you want to be happy in this world, there is no alternative without, I mean to say, performing sacrifices."
|660525 - Lecture BG 03.16-17 - New York
|We have to understand that this human life is not meant for the animal propensities of life like cats and dog; it is meant for some other divine purpose. We have to get rid of this material encagement and attain our spiritual life and be happy forever. Yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama. One has to return back to the kingdom of God. That is the mission of human life.
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
| "So far yajña is concerned, we can perform this yajña, saṅkīrtana-yajña. That is not very difficult. Everyone, at home or in this place... What is that?
Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare
Hare Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare Hare
It is the most inexpensive performance of yajña. Anyone can adopt it."
|660525 - Lecture BG 03.16-17 - New York
1969 - May 25
|Brāhmaṇa qualification is truthfulness, cleanliness, satyaṁ śaucam. Sama, equilibrium of the mind, without any disturbance, without any anxiety. Satyaṁ śaucam śamo dama. Dama means controlling the senses. Śamo dama titikṣa. Titikṣa means tolerance. So many things in the material world will happen. We have to practice to tolerate.
|At present I am living in New Vrindaban. It is a very nice place, but there is no facility of modern amenities. It is completely aloof from city life, and we have to adopt so many things. In comparison to city life it is very inconvenient. But still the atmosphere here is very pleasant.
|Now I am staying in New Vrindaban and it is a very nice spot for developing our community project. There is sufficient land for building great temples and houses for devotees. There is pasturing land, and sufficient grass and vegetables for the grazing of cows.
|We have to transcend this position by cleansing our hearts from such rubbish concept of life that I am American, I am European, I am Indian, I am this or that. Anyone keeping himself under such impression, but at the same time trying to get into Krishna Consciousness is called neophyte devotee, or prakrta. Lord Caitanya has given us a very nice method of chanting Hare Krishna, and if we execute this without any offense, we can transcend this prakrta platform and come to the spiritual platform of serving Krishna.
1970 - May 25
|As you have no resort than myself, so I have no other disciple than yourself who can take care of organizing Sydney center. Please do therefore everything with enthusiasm. That will satisfy me, and Krsna also, and as a result of which you will be satisfied transcendentally—this is our position.
|So far responsibility is concerned, there is an action in Bhaktirasamrta Sindhu to be executed by the devotee which is called Krsna arthe akhila cesta which means to take all kinds of responsibilities for Krsna's sake. Sometimes I also think that let me go back to Vrndavana, in that peaceful situation, to live without any responsibilities; still, in this old age, I take the responsibility of managing our quite a big Institution now, and I have to reply so many letters from different centers to give them instruction.
|As an old man I can take relief from this work immediately, but for Krsna's sake I am pulling on even though there is sometimes personal inconveniences. So let us act in that way all together for Krsna's sake.
|Regarding using our Temple for marriage ceremonies for the Hindu community, if they contribute something to the Temple they can use the Temple and perform the marriage with their own priest, but we cannot take responsibility for marrying others who are not initiated by us.
1971 - May 25
|Please accept our prayers for your well being. Our society wishes to thank you for your kind cooperation in the past, regarding CCP application and import of books. As before, we wish to reiterate that the religious books received from either Japan or our New York Press, are gifts, and there is no intention to sell these books in India, nor is there any question of foreign trade in any of our activities.
|I can understand that things are going on nicely. And the Japanese boys and girls are taking a more responsible role in order to help you out. That is very encouraging.
1972 - May 25
|Nobody's here? Where is Nanda Kumāra? Sleeping? As soon as there is opportunity, sleep. One has to conquer over sleeping, eating, and sense enjoyment. Nidrā, nidrā means sleeping. Āhāra means eating or collecting more, collecting. Eating, sleeping, and vihāra, sense gratification. Vijitau, the Gosvāmīs, they conquered over this.
|GBC means now they should tour very extensive. That is the first principle, the GBC. Not sit down (in) one place and pass resolution. No, they must be active. They must act like me. As I am old man, I am traveling all over the world. Now to give me relief, the GBC members... I shall expand into twelve more so that they can exactly work like me. Gradually they will be initiators. At least first initiation. You must make advance. That is my motive. So, in that way I want to divide it in twelve zones. And we have to make more propaganda throughout the whole world.
|We have no theory, we have got a positive presentation, "Here is God." With that conviction we have to push on. So you must be prepared in that way. There will be so many questions, so many opposing elements. You have to face them by your arguments, by your knowledge. This is required.
|Now we have got very many centers, but the duty is very responsible. So as, so far the center is concerned, the local president is (indistinct) man. The GBC can supervise that things are going on. The first management is that each and every member in the temple is chanting sixteen rounds regularly and following the regulations, that's all. Otherwise we have no... That is our spiritual strength. That must be executed.
|So the president, local president, must see that the members are chanting. So this way the institution will be managed, then it will make progress. That is our spiritual strength—to observe the regulative principles and at least chant sixteen rounds. Then you do other things. This is the biggest institution of spiritual activities so everyone of us should be spiritually strong. Otherwise, superficially if we want to manage, it will not be possible.
|So many boys, young boys, you have understood. So do it and give me relief. I remain in the background. Let me finish my Bhagavata Purana and those who are assisting in the writing, I'll be there. That this institution, ISKCON will give to the world so many valuable jewels. There is no comparison.
|Our writing will be gospel. We have to edit in such a way, present our literature in such a way that it will be gospel truth. Authorized. That people will refer to our books. So we have to very cautiously print our literatures. It is not ordinary literature, fiction, or something, story. Just like Bhagavad-gītā and Bhāgavata. They are not ordinary. literature. Without any four defects of human frailties. Bhrama, pramāda, vipralipsa, also... We are following those literatures. So our writing should be so authorized that in future one may not find any fault, contradiction. We shall have to, cautiously.
|We can never expect to find any kind of utopia, even in the spiritual world. Where ever there are persons there are bound to be differences, so we should not expect any kind of perfect arrangement, especially here in the material world.
1974 - May 25
|They have created this working civilization, "Work very hard, very hard." That's all. In this Rome city you can see. There are evidences. These buildings are constructed with hard labor. Now those rascals have gone, and they are maintaining, that "They worked so hard." That's all. Those who worked very hard, they have gone away. Now nobody knows where they are and what they have become. But they are maintaining their bricks. That's all. Brick civilization.
|This Hare Kṛṣṇa movement is a spiritual movement. There is spirit soul within the body, and the material body is covering, just like shirt and coat, of the spirit soul. The spirit soul somehow or other is encaged within this material body. The problems of life there are many, but they are pertaining to the body. Real problem is how to get the spirit soul out of this material encagement.
|I think this American company Donnelly, is better than Dai Nippon and the magazine is improving more and more.
|So I am glad that you are fully absorbed in your work and very concerned that it be executed just to my satisfaction in parampara standard. This is your perfection. I am hopeful we will continue our cooperation as I have many many more books to write if you can only keep up with me in publishing and painting.
1975 - May 25
|Persons who have lost their consciousness on account of being too much attached to material enjoyment, they cannot understand Krsna consciousness.
|You can produce your necessities; there is no difficulty. If we keep cows and grow food grains, fruits, vegetables, then we can live very peacefully like that. There is no need of going to the city. That is the plan of God, Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa personally exhibited.
|Try to become devotee of Kṛṣṇa. Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is teaching this philosophy. We have got so many books. Whoever comes here must read the books, devotee, the inmates of the temple, outsider, then you will understand what is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
|So you have got this land; develop it. Don't go away. Develop it. That is my instruction. Keep cows, as many cows as possible. You don't require practice. Produce your own food, own milk—save time; chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. This is perfect. You don't require technical education and this education, that education, wine, meat. This is rakṣasā civilization. This is not human civilization. Human civilization: peacefully living, saving time for Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and then at the time of death you remember Kṛṣṇa. You are immediately delivered within a second, back to home, back to Godhead.
1976 - May 25
|We have concluded that it will take seven months to reach the moon planet at the speed of eighteen thousand miles per hour. But they're going in four days. Just see how bluffing.
|Suppose your wife or husband, you love, because the husband and wife is in the body, within the body. So I love the body because the spirit soul is there. This is right conclusion. Otherwise who is going to love a dead body? Nobody.
1977 - May 25
|These people were within Aryan civilization. Aryan, Iranian, their names are given. Up to Iran, their field(?). Europeans also, Indo-European. Gradually they declined. Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission is to make them civilized. Paścimera loka saba mūḍha anācāra (CC Adi 10.89). They are all fools and misbehaved. Teach them this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. They'll be happy.
