Hesperidina bottles, c. 1864.
|Bitter orange
Hesperidina is a classic Argentine apéritif made from bitter and sweet orange peels, with contain a high number of flavonoids. The beverage has antioxidant effects because of the flavonoids.[1]
Its name was taken from the Greek myth of Hesperides.
This alcoholic drink was invented in 1864 by an American immigrant, Melville Sewell Bagley, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[2] Bagley was a native of the state of Maine. He had been involved in the dry goods business in New Orleans before the outbreak of the American Civil War. After the outbreak he emigrated to Buenos Aires where he worked at "La Estrella" pharmacy, sited on Defensa and Alsina streets. Bagley started to try with different formulas to create a digestive beverage, using oranges as its main ingredient.[3] The Hesperidina would be born from those tests.[4]
Prior to the official launching of the drink, Bagley made an extensive public campaign with posters spread in the city of Buenos Aires. Those posters only had the word "Hesperidina", without images or further explanations about the subject in question.[5]
The poster campaign lasted three months until Hesperidina was finally launched on December 24, 1864, with an advertisement published in La Tribuna newspaper. The advertisement stated Hesperidina was a "stomach digestive, prepared with bitter oranges." The immediate success of the apéritif led to the appearance of imitations and other counterfeiting of the product. Alarmed by the situation, Bagley convinced president of Argentina, Nicolás Avellaneda to create a patent and trademark office in order to protect his product. The office was created in 1876, being Hesperidina the first product to register as a trademark in Argentina on October 27.[6] Soon after, Bagley began to print the Hesperidina labels at the New York Bank Note Company to strengthen controls over the product.
During the Triple Alliance War (1864–1870) Hesperidina was distributed among the soldiers "to revitalize the wounded" because of its therapeutic effects that could solve stomach problems, derived from the non-potable water drank by the combatants.[4]
Beverages, indeed, opened the door to a whole new sector of advertisement driven by the Hesperidina campaign and the arrival to the country of world-wide "food and beverage" names such as Real Hollands, Nestlé, Domecq and Bols among others.
In popular culture[edit]
The Hesperidina is mentioned in three short tales by Julio Cortázar: Casa Tomada, Tía en Apuros and Circe. Another writer, Juan Carlos Casas, also included Hesperidina in his book Fraile Muerto.[7] Hesperidina also appeared in the short tale Perdido by Haroldo Conti.[8]
Tango singer Roberto Goyeneche referred Hesperidina as his favorite beverage, which he used to drink at "La Sirena", a bar in Saavedra, Buenos Aires. The Hesperidina also appeared in several calendars painted by Gauchesco artist Florencio Molina Campos.[4] Other famous person that adopted Hesperidina as his favorite drink was explorer Francisco Moreno, who used to drink it during his trips to the harsher regions of the south of Argentina.[5]
French musician José de Wravrin (mostly known artistic name, Juan Nirvassed) composed Hesperidina: Tango de Moda in 1915.,[9] which would later won first prize at Sociedad Sportiva Argentina. Hesperidina is also mentioned in the film Juan Moreira directed by Leonardo Favio in 1973.[4]

Potentially offensive racial slurs are used in this video. That fat sausage between his legs is stroked and licked till it's hard, wet and throbbing. Joseph has done so much damage with this monster. His dick belongs to these perverted men now who squash, peg and restrict his cock.

Sad to Leave...Posted Jan 28, 2017
Pros: The way we were treated by all the staff we had contact with.
Location: The location was excellent for us. We went to San Francisco, the Pacific Coast highway and the Palo Alto area.
As I told the front desk person when we were checking out - this is the first hotel that I have ever felt sad about leaving! And as a former airline pilot, I've spent many nights in hotels. The breakfasts that were offered each morning were varied and quite good. The coffee was very good! And four nights a week, they had wine & beer from 5-7 with munchies, soups and salads. Every single staff person made us feel comfortable without being so over the top as to be annoying. The place was clean, comfortable and very low stress - for us - it was perfect.

We had a very pleasant stay was a lovely Hotel. The convenience of being close to the airport and to the San Francisco State University was also a plus

Posted Jan 13, 2017
Pros: The name
Cons: Give what is promised at the time of reservation.
Location: The only reason I stayed in this hotel was because it was outside of San Francisco and easily accessible from the main highway.
I decided to stay in this hotel because of previous experience with this brand. I chose a king size bed and was given a queen size instead. No explanation at all. The hotel offered complementary breakfast. However, the food was terrible and the staff was not very friendly.

Nice hotelPosted Dec 27, 2016
Pros: Room accommodations
Cons: Better breakfast selections
Location: Close to airport, not much to do in Brisbane but close to San Francisco.
Hotel was nice, kind of out of the way from restaurants and fast food.

Good locationPosted Dec 20, 2016
Pros: location
Cons: deeper pool for swimming
Location: central to the west bay
The location is great for us, as we visited family in the valley, went to downtown S.F. a couple times, and over to the coast one day. We like to have a rental car and not feel it's a burden like most places just a little further north in S.F. Plus the awesome free breakfast is a bonus, or could we say it's a great $100 breakfast that comes with a free room for the night.

Nice hotel, great staff.Posted Dec 12, 2016
Every aspect of our stay was great. The staff was extraordinary and went above and beyond expectation. The complimentary breakfast, fresh cookies in the lobby and evening social added to the experience. The fully equipped kitchen was very convienient. The pool is small, but my teenage kids still enjoyed it. There is also a short walk down to the bay. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Affordable apartment hotel for a family of 6Posted Dec 10, 2016
The hotel is close to the airport but outside the main San Francisco area. If you have a car and have a large family, this hotel is worth considering. Size-wise, it is more spacious than the other offerings nearby and cost about the same. The staff are very friendly and helpful which makes our stay very pleasant. One thing I thought the hotel management could improve is the quality of the breakfast, especially the cooked section. They have up to 4 cooked items, which are changed daily, but are not so well done. For example the sausages are rather dry and hard. Overall, the stay was comfortable and among the more affordable ones nearby.

UPDATE - Currently Bitcoin's price is hovering around $1000 USD to 1 BTC. I've decided to list Blockchain.link at $49,987. The domain is listed at various marketplaces.
While Blockchain tech is arguable more important compared to Bitcoin, at least for large banks and financial companies, Blockchain is still an important part of Bitcoin economy.
Blockchain.link is a domain that is available if you want to make an offer.
I had Blockchain.link available on several marketplaces at a BIN (Buy it Now) price. Most of the offers I got on this domain were people kinda just wasting my time. Therefore Blockchain.link is still open to offers but since I have development plans for Blockchain.link I'm only accepting offers right now.
To make an offer on Blockchain.link feel free to email - d AT yamadamedia.org. I will reply as quickly as I can
I can accept payments via Escrow.com and Epik Escrow. My preference is to use an Escrow service being paid with USD but I will consider a domain purchase using Bitcoin.
This is one of the most common questions I get asked.
Basically a Blockchain is a huge open public ledger of each transaction that has taken place. This is the foundation for how Bitcoin operates and other cyrptocurrencies and onlinge digital coins. Each transaction is a "link" against the last transaction. This makes fraud and tampering with the system extremely hard.
This is why you've seen major banks and financial companies invest in Blockchain R&D.

It looks like the positive "January Effect" is still in play as the market rallied to close with two of three major indices up, while gold added 9.9 points, oil lost 1.7 points, and the euro continued its slide against the dollar.
We had an amalgamation of macro reports, with possibly the most notable an analyst note from Morgan Stanley predicting a slowing economy in the first half of 2012 leading to a new round of quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve. Talk of a slowdown flies in the face of most of the recent economic reports including better jobs data, improved stability in Europe, and a healing housing market.
With that in mind, it is encouraging that the Dow Jones Industrial Average
Inside the Dow, it was no surprise that given the positive economic indicators on one hand and on the other an increased likelihood that the Fed will come to the rescue with QE3 if those indicators prove illusory, the big gainers were financials. Bank of America
The best-performing stock of all all today belonged to the Nasdaq: Prostate-cancer vaccine maker Dendreon
All told, it appears the market is continuing a positive trend to kick off the year. It's worth watching with a close eye to see how the market closes this week and this month. If January ends on an up note, past trends have it foreshadowing a strong annual performance.
And while we're discussing coming trends, our top analysts have identified the best way to profit from The Next Trillion-Dollar Revolution. Download this must read special free report right now, and don't miss your opportunity for truly market-beating returns.

Today, I was in a Zumba class with a young woman in her 20s and an older woman in her 80s. I couldn't keep up with either one of them. FML

Excactly. That's what it's there for. To have fun, not be I'm competition with other people.
Dude zumba is intense. Just keep up the work, friend!
Zumba is about having fun. Don't push yourself too hard, mate. :)
WTF is zumba?
I recently started Zumba it's really intense but you'll get better, stick with it. It's definitely worth it.
I love your picture
Maybe, eventually, you will be able to go all out. First time I went I barely did anything but laugh...had no idea what I was doing. But as I kept going I started to get my head around individual moves and full routines and my fitness levels were rising and I started to be able to get a lot more out of the classes. 11 months on I'm at 6 classes a week, front row centre and loving every minute. Just keep going back and just enjoy yourself :)
Wrong FML
Sorry but you posted on the wrong one. :/
I think we've established that he posted on the wrong fml.
I don't know about that, 32. I think we're going to need more evidence in the form of more people repeating the same thing.
Wrong FML.... or just good trolling?? ;)
^^^ This comment: Shit trolling or really shit trolling?
#2 your comment makes u seem as though YOU'RE suffering from brain damage lol ... but one FML down :p
I think its you that's brain damaged.
See guys? Told you 58 is always being buried lmao
The only way to kill a troll is to bury it you know.
Question marks?
Hey man. Zumba is really hard when you first start. Dont quit! It gets really fun!
i'm taking a zumba class and i can't imagine that a woman in her 80s could do that. you really must be out of shape!
Yeah, it's a bit too strenuous for old people, I would think...
There are many 80 year olds who can do things younger people probably can't. Both sets of my grandparents lived well into their 90s, and never stopped exercising or limiting their mobility. They might have been old, but they never acted like it. I think it depends on overall quality of life and health throughout it, as well as genes. That said, I have to say I don't often see such vibrant elderly people in the US. Look at Japan's old grannies and feel the shame!
Lol @ "Japan's old grannies." New favorite phrase =D
Yeah, old people are running marathons and pushing people into bushes.
I've taught many people that are older in my Zumba classes....don't knock old people! They keep up with me!
My neighbor just finished a huge addition to his house, and he's 93. As long as you have what it takes, you can do anything at any age.
By Ali_Br_fml
Well, I guess that's why you are in the zumba class. Soon you will be able to keep up with 80-yr olds OP... then you'll have some bragging rights...

Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment
i have a rope in my garage if you need it?
That was a horrible thing to say.
37- Because donating other people's blood at a blood drive is just lovely?
Psshhh, the picture changed. Sneaky!
What was the pic before?
It was an Insanity Wolf meme that said "Go to a blood drive. Donate other people's blood." But I changed it to one of me before I even saw that he said anything...
25, I think 14 was talking about using the rope to go into the Zumba class with a lasso like Indiana Jones.

Gender Issues in Ethnography by Carol A. B. Warren
Book DescriptionThis Second Edition summarizes the state of the art of gender issues in fieldwork both in anthropology and sociology. Warren shows how the researcher's gender affects both the fieldwork relationships and the production of ethnography. The authors' focus is more empirical than theoretical; using literature on gender and ethnography, together with their own experiences as women ethnographers, they focus on ways in which researchers represent these experiences through narrative.

- 2 hair ties
- Hair pin
- Hair oil
Brush your hair from root to tip with a natural-bristle brush to remove any knots and create a smooth finish. Begin with hair that was washed one or two days previously, as it will have more grip and maintain volume the easiest.
Place one thumb above each ear, and pull them toward each other around the back of your head. Pick up the section that falls above your thumbs.
Hold the section straight up in the air, grasping the ends. Insert a natural-bristle brush 3 inches from the roots on the underside of the section. Brush the hair down until you reach the roots and return the brush to the starting point. Repeat this 10 times. This action creates volume at the crown of your head to give the illusion of fuller hair.
Position the top section so that it sits 2 inches above your ears. Use a hair elastic in the same tone of your hair to tie it tightly.
Pick up the remaining hair. Use the brush to neatly pull it into a ponytail that sits 1/2 inch beneath the first ponytail. Tie it tightly with an elastic.
Lift the bottom ponytail up and wrap it around the elastic of the top ponytail. Tuck the base of the bottom ponytail underneath the top ponytail, and use a hair pin to secure it to your scalp. Securing it at the base will allow your hair to remain full while creating the illusion of one long ponytail.
Pour a dime-sized amount of hair oil into the palm of your hand and gently smooth it over any flyaways. Genie ponytails are sleek at the crown, allowing the ponytail portion to standout. Choose a dry oil if you have oily hair to avoid weighing your locks down.
Tips & Warnings
- If you decide to create the style on freshly washed hair, spritz the roots with dry shampoo to add grip.

Your OC Film Fiesta's Updated Schedule: Mariachi Gringo, Haskell Wexler, and More!
OC Film Fiesta
I've already provided a primer for some of the things going down at this year's OC Film Fiesta in Downtown SanTana, and if that didn't entice you to check out the online schedule, perhaps this will: the organizers have given us some added items to expect, and damn if they aren't impressive. So here now is a list of extra goodies going on for this year's already expansive itinerary.
The festival mayhem starts Friday night with the opening night screening of Tom Gustafson's Mariachi Gringo, a story about hip young gunslinger Shawn Ashmore who leaves his dismal life in a small town behind for a more interesting career as a mariachi singer. Following the screening is the after party (woo hoo!) at Diego's on 3rd street across the Yost.
September 7th's screening of Bringing King To China will feature a scheduled appearance by legendary cinematographer Haskell Wexler. Some of the more notable titles on his resume include Colors (1988), The Conversation (1974), The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966). Wexler's work in Hollywood is well known, but beyond mainstream pictures the man worked as director of photography in many documentaries, including Bringing King To China. And here he is, coming to discuss the movie in our own neighborhood.
September 14 is Fan Fest, a mini expo taking place atop the rooftop patio of Fiesta Twin Cinema featuring comics, memorabilia, art and cinematic equipment for all to see. Sunday, September 15 features a different kind of fest- Quince Fest- a second mini expo atop the very same Fiesta Twin rooftop patio promising an array of quinceañera culture, artisans and merchants, preceeding the evening's later fashion show of Disney-themed quinceañera dresses and screening of Alondra Smiles: A Quinceañera Story.

The Sunflower 6830 Series: A New Era in Tillage
With wet conditions impacting much of the corn and soybean-producing areas of Minnesota and Iowa, it has been tough to perform effective tillage. However, last week, the clouds parted for a few days and gave way to fair tillage conditions before the rains returned. During this time, I took the New Sunflower 6830 High-Speed Rotary Finisher for a trip across 230-bushel corn planted in the 36,000 to 39,000 plant population. I was very impressed with the tool's performance in both sizing and mixing residue.
The corn was harvested using a chopping corn head. Highest-yielding corn was in the range of 240 bushels with an average yield of 203. Row spacing was planted on 30-inch rows. Very soft field conditions were present during harvest leaving ruts 4 to 6 inches deep where the harvester and grain cart was run. Operating speed of the tool was at 11.5 mph. The depth of the 6830 was set and checked at 4 inches. The width of this unit was 29 feet. 11.5 mph x 29 feet = 333.5/8.25 = 40.43 acres per hour. The Sunflower 6830 was pulled with a Challenger 855E tractor, which burned 17 gallons per hour during this operation.
I took a 5-foot by 6-foot area and painted it with marker paint to give a visual of the chopping, sizing and mixing the residue mat left on the soil surface.
In the above picture, you can see the extraordinary job the Sunflower 6830 did in chopping, sizing and mixing the residue mat. In some areas of the country, this single pass will provide a sufficient job in allowing the residue to be broken down prior to the next planting season. Although difficult to see, this picture was taken directly in the wheel track seen in the first picture of the painted residue. Not only were the residue and soil mixed, but also completely leveled a 4-inch rut left by the combine.
These pictures show the tool's ability to manage the root mass that is left and needs to be managed before further tillage or planting the next crop. Not only are we managing the surface residue, but also the below-surface residue. The sooner we can start the incorporation of this residue with the soil and its many helpful microorganisms, the faster that residue can start the decomposition process.
I'm lucky enough to run several of these Sunflower tools. Sunflower 6830 High-Speed Rotary Finisher is one of the only tools that can prepare a seedbed in the spring by leaving a level seedbed to plant into. It can also perform the act of residue management in the fall and succeed at both.

Women in Agriculture
By: Nicole Schrock, Miss Rodeo Oregon
Growing up, agriculture and farming had a huge influence on me. Farming was a family affair. Both my parents came from farming families, so that lifestyle was the only one I knew. Being the daughter of farmers taught me to have a lot of respect for the land and our way of life. As I grew older, I had no desire to leave that way of life, and I chose to pursue a higher education in a field that would keep me close to the agriculture lifestyle that I had grown up loving.
During my travels as Miss Rodeo Oregon, one of the organizations I worked with was my local Oregon Women for Agriculture chapter. I have so much respect for these women, not only because of their involvement on their own farms, but for their passion for agriculture and their willingness to take extra time out of their schedules to promote that way of life to the public. They support other women in agriculture through fundraisers and scholarships for youth, and they work to educate through public events such as fairs and ag day celebrations. Women for Ag and Miss Rodeo Oregon walked parallel paths and so it was an honor and pleasure when I got to work side by side with them — working toward a common goal of promoting agriculture in our area.
Another thing that I noticed in my travels as Miss Rodeo Oregon is the common misconception among the general public that farming and ranching are all-male vocations. Growing up on a farm, I know firsthand that farming is not just for men and boys. In our house, everyone had a role to play. Whether it was in the office or the field, everyone contributed to the success of the harvest — man or woman, adult or child, we all helped out.
As a woman in agriculture, I think the most challenging obstacle to overcome is stereotyping from outside people. Because agriculture is generally viewed as a male-dominated industry, I've found that women often have to work harder than their male counterparts to prove their worth and knowledge in the industry. But women are slowly making their presence known, and I look forward to a future where women and men are recognized equally as they work toward promoting and making innovative leaps in techniques, practices and technology for the industry.
I love being a woman in agriculture… getting to work outside and admire nature's beauty while giving back to my community. On my family's farm, summer is the busiest time of year — the same time that rodeo season hits full swing in the Northwest. So, like clockwork every year, I find myself dividing my time between the two loves of my life… and I wouldn't have it any other way! Whether I am driving my Massey Ferguson tractor in the fields or galloping my horse in the rodeo arena — you can bet I'll have a smile on my face!
Antarctica2 – For Those Who Dare to Dream
Massey Ferguson, a worldwide brand of AGCO (NYSE: AGCO), has celebrated the launch of an ambitious mission to drive a tractor to the Geographical South Pole, the fulfillment of a dream for a Dutch theatre maker that also aims to inspire others to dare to dream.
Antarctica2 follows in the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary, who drove a specially adapted Ferguson TE20 to the South Pole in 1958.
But the 2014 mission, which departs Cape Town on 15th September for the 2350km journey, has enlisted the help of leading industry partners to take a wheeled tractor to Antarctica for the first time.
The MF 5610, modified by the engineering team at AGCO's Beauvais tractor plant, will be driven by Manon Ossevoort, better known as Tractor Girl, who has already driven a tractor from her childhood home in the Netherlands to South Africa.
"It was my dream to drive a tractor to the end of the world, and I was inspired by Sir Edmund Hillary's mission," Manon explains, "I found that along the way my journey inspired other people to talk about their own dreams, so I set about collecting these dreams with the goal of taking them to the South Pole with me."
When her original mission – which was undertaken largely with only local support –ended with Manon unable to make the final leg to Antarctica, she remained convinced that she had to finish it. She approached Massey Ferguson via its distributor in Holland, Mechatrac, and was assured of the company's commitment to help her follow her dreams.
Support for Antarctica2 will be provided by partners including Massey Ferguson, Trelleborg, Castrol, AGCO Finance, AGCO Parts and Fuse Technologies. There are still opportunities for additional partners to join this exciting project, which will reach a global audience.
Richard Markwell, Vice President and Managing Director of Massey Ferguson EAME,who handed over the keys to the MF 5600 to Manon in a special ceremony at Beauvais, said: "I congratulate our Engineering Project Manager Olivier Hembert and his team, who worked in their spare time, along with AGCO Power in Finland, to adapt the tractor for conditions that are probably the toughest in the world."
"As John F Kennedy said about the mission to the moon in 1962 – 'We choose to do these things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.' This is Massey Ferguson, wanting to take on a challenge and work in the spirit to achieve not only easy things, but challenging things. On behalf of AGCO and the full team of sponsors, I wish Manon and her straightforward, dependable MF 5610 a safe and exciting journey to the South Pole."
Expedition specialists Arctic Trucks will provide guidance and safety support with the help of two Toyota four- and six-wheel drive pick-up trucks, and has worked closely with Trelleborg and Massey Ferguson to develop tyre technology for the mission.
Gudmundur Gudjonsson, Arctic Trucks Project Manager for Antarctica explains: "Tyres are more efficient than tracks in this kind of expedition, being capable of higher forward speeds and using less fuel. They also provide suspension, which is beneficial to the environment as well as the vehicle and the driver."
Under Arctic Trucks guidance, MF 5600 tractors have undergone extensive cold weather testing, while the expedition team has received polar training, including guidance from seasoned polar explorers Matty McNair and her daughter Sarah McNair-Landry who will be key team members for Antarctica2.
A technical support specialist and former Massey Ferguson photographic specialist Simon Foster complete the team.
The expedition will call on not only the straightforward and dependable engineering of the MF 5610 to endure temperatures down to minus 40deg centigrade, altitude of 3400m and deep, soft snow, but also AGCO's impressive parts and technical capability.
Up to 1000kg of parts will be carried on the mission, a twice daily maintenance regime adhered to, and the Agcommand™ telematics system will relay performance information back to a 24 hour support team in Beauvais.
The latest broadcast and social media technology will also be employed in stark contrast to when Sir Edmund Hillary's arrival at the South Pole was marked by at telegram of thanks to Harry Ferguson. Live streaming and regular updates via a dedicated website will keep the rest of the world in touch with the mission's progress.When the MF 5610, with its Tractor Girl and her cargo of dreams on board, arrives at the South Pole around 7th December, it will be a testimony to the work of all the partners in the Antarctica2 project and their tireless commitment to its message – #BelieveInIt
Massey Ferguson Children's Character "Little Grey Fergie" Opens a Dedicated Attraction at Norway Theme Park
The Land of the Little Grey Fergie – Gråtassland – opened in grand style in Stavanger Norway on 4 June.
This fantastic brand-new attraction area at the Kongeparken in Stavanger is a celebration of the children's character 'Little Grey Fergie' (Gråtass) which is based on an original Ferguson TE 20 tractor. Over the last 20 years the original story of his adventures, written by Morten Myklebust, has grown into two feature film hits, a TV series, several stage shows and DVDs, plus a brand-new production filmed in England which is available on the itnernet and features a full-size live-action tractor.
Ultra-modern technology has been employed at Kongeparken, one of Scandinavia's foremost theme parks, to ensure Little Grey Fergie comes to life for visitors. "It's like walking into the movie!" says Håkon Lund, CEO of Kongeparken.
Visitors will be welcomed by the character himself and will also be able to meet the animals on the farm at the petting zoo. An exciting tractor ride takes visitors through the captivating story of Little Grey Fergie and his friends. There are also play tractors and an old country store. Bringing things right up to date, there is the chance to experience one of the very latest Massey Ferguson tractors especially adjusted for kids.
Massey Ferguson Norwegian dealer – Eiksenteret – and the dealership chain are key partners in this exciting new project along with Fantasifabrikken A/S, the production company behind Gråtass.
With the opening of Gråtassland in Stavanger, the Ferguson TE 20 is effectively returning to its origins in Norway. More than 60 years ago not far from the town, Christian Eik started to import the tractor into the country from England. His pioneering work played an important part in laying the foundations for mechanised agriculture in Norway.
"As importers of Massey Ferguson today, we want to make sure that the history of the Little Grey Fergie is embraced, along with the Massey Ferguson brand name," says Trond Kjempekjenn, General Sales Manager, AGCO Norway/ Eikmaskin a/s. "We have a very good partnership with Kongeparken – Fergie is in the best hands. Gråtassland will be a great place for the whole family to enjoy. Fergie has many fans both in Norway and abroad. Children and grown-ups alike can now share their fun with him as he returns 'home' to Stavanger."

My AGCO Ambassador Experience at Africa Summit 2014
Written by: Joy Jelimo Chelagat, 2014 AGCO Africa Ambassador
On the 15th of January at 5:00 am in the morning I drove to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on my trip to Berlin, Germany. Just five months before I had seen a competition online for an ambassadorship opportunity. Having only a week to the deadline, I was pretty sure that my chances were slim, but I decided to apply anyway.
To my surprise, the AGCO team got in contact with me. A few Skype interviews later I was informed that I could represent Africa at the annual AGCO Africa Summit in Berlin. Two months passed by fast and I was aboard a plane heading to Germany. The trip was long and the weather was a stark difference from the sunny Nairobi climes, but the warm welcome of the team in the Adlon Hotel made me feel at home.
The day after I arrived I hit the ground running. I had a meeting with a team of AGCO people to prepare for the activities scheduled. It was only our first meeting yet they were very friendly and resourceful. I also met Sue Musunga Chuzu, who was the first AGCO Africa Ambassador and who works now as Marketing Services Specialist at AGCO in Zambia. She shared her experiences with me and gave me some presentation tips for moderating the conference.
Agriculture is Universal
One of my tasks as Africa Ambassador was to represent AGCO at the International Green Week fair. The "Grüne Woche", as the Germans call it, is an agricultural trade show that attracts exhibitors from around the world. Together with Marco Prehn, Sahra Malin, Sue Chuzu and Philip De Leon from AGCO we talked to numerous people about what the company is doing in Africa. One thing was evident during the fair: agriculture is a global concern. Even though the visitors and exhibitors were from far flung corners of the globe, they all came together in one place for once cause: agriculture.
The night before the AGCO Africa Summit we had an exclusive dinner with the conference's speakers and the top brass of the AGCO team. The room was full of exceptional people who had done great things for the African continent. From the conversations we had that evening, I could tell that the summit would be full of wonderful insights. As I woke up that Monday I was fully charged for the conference.
African Solutions
Walking into the conference hall, the excitement was palpable. You could see crowds of people huddled together immersed in conversation. You could spot top decision makers of key sectors of the agricultural industry. As the program kicked off, I was slightly nervous but as we moved along I eased up. Each speaker rose to the podium with wonderful ideas about the improvement of the agriculture industry in Kenya and on the African continent.
The speakers and panelists talked about their activities in Africa and about what they plan to do in days to come. Robert Sichinga, Agriculture Minister of Zambia, riled the crowd when he passionately explained why solutions to African agriculture have to be African. Another topic that got the audience excited was the appeal to make agriculture "sexy" for it to attract young people. Several speakers also emphasized the issue of innovation. Thus by the end of the full-day event I was more convinced than ever that agriculture is not only the present but also the future for Africa.
Yet, my trip was not all business. I had several opportunities to shop and tour the German capital. Berlin is a beautiful city with rich history: I visited the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie and the Holocaust memorial. Another highlight of the trip was the opportunity to meet and make friends with remarkable people from all around the globe.
All in all, this journey was an inspirational and eye-opening experience. I was able to see how small-scale innovations in the field have a global impact on food security. The importance of efficient production, transportation and distribution was also brought home. At the end of the trip I felt charged to take up my role as AGCO Africa Ambassador for the year 2014.

THE DIGITAL INSTRUCTOR: How to Achieve Financial Freedom with Online Teaching
I started my IT career as a Pascal programming language student in 1994. Later I discovered the potential of the web and co-founded WEBXP company with my colleague, where we offered websites and web applications for local businesses.
In 2000 I started working for a German-based company Caatoosee, where I was the part of a team creating the top of the line web shop for than famous Breuninger Mode & Beauty online kaufen. I focused primarily on DHTML, Javascript, CSS for static websites and PHP with MySQL for dynamic apps.
At that time I also started my very own LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) project and designed, developed and published one of the first so-called discussion servers, that were very popular in my country years before the Facebook became the worldwide success.
In 2008 when iPhone SDK was introduced, I moved to mobile apps world and soon published my first verb dictionary for iPhone which you can still find on the App Store.
In 2015 I founded BOHEMIAPPS which evolved from simple iOS apps platform to online education program.
I love to learn new things of all sorts and I love to share more knowledge with others even more. I believe the student is only as successful in understanding the topic as the teacher is in explaining it properly. In other words - there's no bad student, only the bad instructor.
My mission is to share what I know and present it in the best possible way I can provide, so my students can benefit from it. I respect their time and I always try to do my best to bring them a quality education.
In 2016 I decided to push my mission even further with SMART PROFIT SCHOOL. I believe that everyone can teach. SMART PROFIT SCHOOL will help you start your own online teaching career. I will teach you how to teach!

Search for "Jean Sibelius: The Early Years" on Amazon.com
Do you have any images for this title?
Winner of the Silver Medal in the Music Category at the 1984 New York International Film and Television Festival and the Special Jury Award at the Banff Television Festival 1985, Christopher Nupen's two-part look at the life of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius is both a musical tribute and a poetic statement about the creative process. Separated into segments, Jean Sibelius: The Early Years, and Jean Sibelius: Maturity and Silence, the film traces the composer's life from its beginnings in rural Finland to his death at age 91 in 1957 using excerpts from Sibelius' writings and those of his wife Aino, old photographs, performances of some of his best known works conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy, and gorgeous scenes of the Finland's forest, lakes, and clouds. After an introduction by the director, Sibelius is seen in 1939 in his last public appearance conducting a performance of the Andante Festivo, one of his most deeply felt works. Discussed in the film is Sibelius' goal to be a virtuoso violinist, his bout with a throat tumor, his struggles with alcoholism and self-confidence, his retreat from the city to a secluded country home, his musical silence during the last thirty years, and his failure to produce the Eighth Symphony that musicians and critics all over the world desperately wanted. Excerpts are heard of Sibelius major works including Finlandia, Tapiola, Kullervo, Karelia Suite, the Violin Concerto, and each of his seven symphonies (with the unexplained exception of the Sixth) but not always to their advantage, stirring crescendos trumping Sibelius' tender, lyrical passages. The works, conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy, unfortunately often with too much focus on the conductor's dramatics, are enhanced by Sibelius' own words. As Nupen describes them, "they are extremely telling words, extremely poetic words, extremely deeply felt words. This man cared more than anything else that he had to compose music, and that he wanted to reach people with that music
It's telling the story, but it's the story of the work and what it has to tell us today." Unfortunately, there are no interviews with musicologists and artists who might provide a deeper appreciation of the music, as in Phil Grabsky's In Search of" series. Deficient also is the expressive and searching narration of the Grabsky films. Here the British narrator talks in a soporific monotone without the expressiveness needed to sustain interest. What does come through, however, in spite of the film's flaws, is the sublime music of one of the twentieth century's great masters. Listening to Sibelius' Second and Fifth Symphonies especially as performed by Serge Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony Orchestra is an unforgettable musical experience.Although Sibelius was considered as the greatest symphonist of the twentieth century during his peak creative years, his reputation began to suffer during the 1960s but documentaries such as this will help to reestablish his greatness. According to director Christopher Nupen, "His music has lasted and I believe that it will continue to last, whatever fashion may do...his voice is inimitable, unmistakable and for me unforgettable. My first encounters with it opened up a whole new world that remains with me." In the words of Ralph Vaughan Williams, "You (Sibelius) have lit a candle in the world of music that will never go out." If you are a lover of Sibelius' music as I am, I would recommend this documentary for a broad overview of his life and, if you know little or nothing about him, this is a good introduction.
