Professor Williams, I am Hama and sending this blog from Xiandon's name because I can't log-in by using my first name.
I analyzed Aeon's business activities by comparing with other retailers to ensure these activities show the improvement by sustainable business strategy.
Aeon is the first retail group which sales is more than us$39billion. The company aim to growth as top 10 companies in terms sales and management in the world. Aeon is operating 393 stores in Japan and developing their business to Asian countries. The company is also famous in Japan as their proactive activities in terms of sustainable activities and takes part in GRI. They have invested in natural capital as "tree planting campaign" that has planted 5.7 million trees in the world since 1991. And "bring your own bag campaign" which save the waste of plastic bag also has penetrated into customer and accumulated usage of my bag is more than 633k pieces. It seems that Aeon is really proactive to sustainable development, but is it true? Does company commit green wash? To make sure their sustainable business strategy, I analyzed the company's business activity by comparing with other companies in the same industry.
Firstly, I compared with second retailer, Ito Yokado (IY) in Japan which is operating 183 stores in Japan. I pick up four items (the usage of electricity, plastic bag, copy paper and waste) which have the strong impact on environment to compare the efficiency per store. As for the usage of electricity, Aeon used 5 billion (wh/year), on the other hand, IY used 6.9 billion wh. Aeon managed to control the usage of electricity almost 74% of IY's usage of electricity per store. In a similar manner, Aeon used almost 52% of plastic bags, 54% of copy paper and exhaust 56% of waste per store. These figures show Aeon managed to control all the items more efficiently than IY in their business activities. Thus, I can make sure Aeon is not the company commits green wash by appealing their environmental activity as PR. Secondary; I tried to compare with Tesco which also proactive to sustainable development in the UK. Unfortunately, I could not get the detail data from their CR review to compare their business activities. However, I could identify that their sustainable strategy is more proactive than Aeon. For example, Tesco open the 90% of new stores on brown field site. Usually, Aeon open the new store green field site, therefore, they destroy many greens and ecosystem to open new stores. In addition, they open the "green" store in Bangkok, which inbuilt roof top solar energy system. These ideas are something new to Aeon. Thus, Aeon still have room to enhance their sustainable activity and can reduce huge amount of energy and waste by applying the central strategy of natural capital such as radical resource productivity into their business activities.
Sustainable business strategy of Aeon company-Hama

Pecan Crusted Chicken Breast
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Our entire family loves these. You can cut the chicken into strips and coat them with pecans, or coat them in whole cutlets. They are also great in a salad with mixed greens. The recipe includes a honey dijon dipping sauce or you can use barbeque sauce. They are great without any sauce.
1 1/2 pounds chicken breast, boneless and skinless
3/4 cup nuts, pecans
2/3 cup Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, light or reduced fat
cooking spray
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. To make the dipping sauce, mix 2 tablespoons of honey, one third cup Dijon, and the mayonnaise in a small, microwave safe bowl. Place the pecans in a zip lock bag and finely crush them with a meat mallet or a rolling pin. Pour pecans onto a plate. Place the chicken in a zip lock bag and flatten them to one quarter inch thickness using the meat mallet or rolling pin). In a small bowl, mix one third cup of Dijon with one tablespoon of honey. Heavily coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Brush each piece of chicken with the honey Dijon mixture and coat with crushed pecans. Place chicken on the baking sheet. Spray tops with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes, then turn the chicken over and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until cooked through. Microwave dipping sauce for 30 seconds and serve with the chicken.

Can I just say that my mom ROCKS! She has this business up on Long Island that she started herself several years ago. She does invitation, calligraphy, wedding/party favors, seating charts, menus, programs...essentially, everything that you would need printed up for a large party or wedding.
Well, about two months ago she was contacted by WEtv's "My Fair Wedding with David Tutera" about doing some work for one of their episodes! How cool is that?? So she did a seating chart, programs and menus (I think) for an episode called "The Purple Princess Bride". A couple of weeks after she sent them her stuff, they contacted her AGAIN about doing more work for them for their FINALE episode! Again, way cool. So she does her magic and "Voila!" off it goes.
Tonight at 10:00 pm on WEtv, the "Purple Princess Bride Episode" is going to air! YEAH!! Now, she (my mom) is not actually "in" the episode, her work will be showcased and her name and company (Printing with Panache) will be mentioned by David Tutera himself during the episode AND she will get free advertising on the show's website. Since she doesn't get paid for the work she did for the episode's, it's the free advertising that can really lead to a big payoff. After all, it is a really big coupe to be part of a nationally syndicated TV show and get a spot on their website! Needless to say that I am hoping that her phone will be ringing off the hook come Monday morning.
So if you are just sitting around tonight around 10:00 with nothing to do, check your local listing for WEtv and "My Fair Wedding with David Tutera" and catch a look at my mom's awesome stuff!

Think of his comment as a warning. Having somehow turned much of Islam into a foe, Washington has essentially assured itself of never-ending crises that it stands no chance whatsoever of winning. In this sense, Iraq was not an aberration, but the historic zenith and nadir for a way of thinking that is only now slowing waning. For decades to come, the US will have a big enough military to ensure that our decline is slow, bloody, ugly, and reluctant, if inevitable. One day, however, even the drones will have to land.
Silly human.... We have better relations with Libya and Tunisia and the Egyptian people that we have had in decades. Irag is more pro-west than any time since the Baathist took over years ago. We have more friends in Afghanistan than enemies. The governments of Kuwait, Saudi and the other on the Arabian peninsula are more closely allied to us than ever.
I think we may have lost Pakistan but that is the Brits fault for setting it up as ungovernable from the start!
Our president visited Indonesia the largest Moslem country in the world during his first term and was well received.
AlQaida is getting weaker but there is still venom in the fangs, we must kill the rest of them ... and I think we will.

Acupuncture Is Silence on Crack
By Sara Calabro Life as we know it is inundated with noise. Literal noise (phones buzzing, advertisements screaming, cars beeping) and metaphorical noise (internal chatter about things we can't control) take us out of the present by keeping us constantly distracted. When we're constantly distracted, it becomes impossible to recognize how we really feel. When we're out of touch with how we really feel, we're forced to disconnect from the process of feeling better. For this and other reasons, silence is golden.

You Probably Had No Idea This 1 Thing Increases Your Risk of Heart Disease
Heart disease is the leading cause of death among both women and men in the United States. An estimated 289,758 women died as a result of the disease in 2013 alone. While there are plenty of risk factors you can control to decrease your risk, like fitness and weight loss, there are also many you can't. Recent research suggests one factor you never thought might damage your heart (check out page 5).
Are you at an increased risk of this deadly health condition compared to the women around you? Here's what you need to know.
What causes heart disease?
There are many different types of heart disease, and therefore many reasons it might happen to you. The most common form involves damage to your heart muscle because of plaque buildup in your arteries. This is the kind of damage that physical fitness and weight loss can help prevent.
Next: You could have it without even knowing.
What are its symptoms?
Men and women often experience different symptoms. While men might have mainly chest pain, women sometimes suffer from nausea, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Back and jaw pain sometimes occur as well. Because many women aren't diagnosed until after they've had a heart attack, keep these signs in mind.
Next: Here's everything you need to know about its risks.
Is heart disease a death sentence?
People are living longer with heart disease than they used to, especially older adults. While this condition can develop into heart failure — which has a much higher fatality rate — it's possible to live with it and still lead a relatively normal life.
Next: Are you in danger of a damaged heart?
Who is at risk?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, those who abuse alcohol, don't exercise, and don't lose weight when they need to are more likely to suffer from heart disease. Unfortunately, these and other factors also increase your risk for another problem that could indirectly affect your heart health.
Next: Hormonal changes happen with age — but it shouldn't happen too soon.
Early menopause also increases a woman's heart disease risk
Recent research found that participants who went through menopause before the age of 47 had a 33% higher risk of developing heart disease. In addition, their risk of stroke — which leads to blockage in the brain as the result of a blood clot — also increased.
Beginning menopause between the ages of 40 and 45 also increases a woman's risk of developing osteoporosis due to low estrogen levels.
Next: So it's dangerous — but can it be prevented?
What causes early menopause?
Early menopause can result from factors both in and outside of your control. You can't avoid it altogether, but there might be a few things you can do to keep it from happening too soon.
Genetics and autoimmune diseases like hypothyroidism can trigger premature hormonal changes — there isn't anything you can do about that. However, you can do something about your weight, your smoking habit, or your lack of exercise — all lifestyle factors that can really mess with your hormones as you age.
Next: Do you know what menopause looks like?
These are the menopause symptoms to watch out for
Regardless of your age, it's important to know the telltale signs your body is about to go through major changes. Shorter or more irregular periods might be the most obvious, but that's not all. Some women experience increased bladder infections, worsening PMS symptoms, and low sex drive.
Next: This is the most important thing you can do to protect your heart.
How else can you decrease your heart disease risk?
Improving your health overall lowers your risk for more than just heart disease. However, if you can protect your heart, you're (literally) in good shape.
This requires a combination of commitments — everything from eating more heart-healthy foods to taking longer walks with your dog, friends, and family. A healthier lifestyle doesn't mean you'll stay young in age, but just because you're getting older doesn't mean it has to feel like it.

NFL week 3 betting odds are out and I am here to run down my picks. The opening Las Vegas NFL odds are a perfect indication of who the professionals believe have the edge on winning the game straight up. Does risking a king's ransom on the favorite's money line for a paltry return worth it? Not in my world. I am here to give you the extra edge to win your ATS bets.
Early NFL Week 3 Odds & Free Picks
Washington at New York Giants -4
Washington has looked good in 2 games so far this season. Washington was close to Miami in Week 1 while they upset St. Louis in Week 2. But, they take on the Giants in Week 3. The G-Men are due for a win after losing games late to Dallas and Atlanta.
Pick: New York Giants
Atlanta -1.5 at Dallas
QB Tony Romo's injury is not good. The Cowboys will have to win with their running game and their defense. Coach Dan Quinn at Atlanta has made all of the right moves. They're the team to beat in the NFC South. The Falcons will prevail.
Pick: Atlanta
How will the #Cowboys fare without Tony Romo? #FSLive pic.twitter.com/DyXaiuy0oZ
— FOX Sports Live (@FOXSportsLive) September 21, 2015
Indianapolis at Tennessee
You can't win when you turn the ball over. The Titans lost 3 fumbles versus Cleveland in their 14 to 28 Week 2 loss. Titans QB Marcus Mariota hurt his ankle and is questionable for this. All signs point to Tennessee losing by a healthy margin.
Pick: Indianapolis
Oakland at Cleveland -4
Oakland's a much improved team, but the Cleveland defense is better than many believe it to be. Cleveland's D should be the deciding factor in this matchup.
Pick: Cleveland
Is Manziel finally figuring it out in Cleveland? http://t.co/Hc3lR3Rl28 pic.twitter.com/dHTpobQIb5
— FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) September 21, 2015
Cincinnati at Baltimore -3
You have to appreciate how Cincinnati can win with either a strong power rushing attack or with Andy Dalton throwing the football. Baltimore has some issues but this is a rivalry game. It can go either way. Back the home team.
Pick: Baltimore
Jacksonville at New England -13.5
New England should have no trouble against Jacksonville, right? Motivation is a funny thing. New England was plenty motivated to put a beating on Buffalo, but then they allowed the Bills to get within 8 points in a 40 to 32 road win in Week 2. How motivated will they be to beat the Jaguars? Expect a win but not a cover.
Pick: New England
New Orleans at Carolina -3.5
New Orleans is a bad team while Carolina's D is ranked in the Top 10 in every single defensive category. The Panthers are also one of the better rushing teams in the NFL. Then again, it's tough to see a Sean Payton coached team losing 3 games in a row.
Pick: New Orleans
Philadelphia -2 at New York Jets
Now, a Chip Kelly team losing 3 games in a row? That can definitely happen. The problem with Philadelphia is that the team doesn't really believe in Chip. He blew the call versus Atlanta and then his guy, QB Sam Bradford, made some terrible mistakes in the second half. If Philly switches to Mark Sanchez, they might have a shot. If they don't, that terrible defense is going to get run over by the Jets' rushing attack.
Pick: New York Jets
DeMarco Murray on the season…
21 Rush, 11 Yards pic.twitter.com/NcypX0enYk
— NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) September 20, 2015
Tampa Bay at Houston -6.5
Jameis Winston meet JJ Watt. You might have to shake his hand while lying on your back and writhing in pain, but, there you go. The official introduction has been made.
Pick: Houston
San Diego at Minnesota -2
Minnesota got it together versus Detroit in Week 2 and a beautiful game from both the offensive line opening up holes for RB Adrian Peterson and giving Teddy Bridgewater time to throw the ball is the result. Minnesota should win their second game in a row.
Pick: Minnesota
Pittsburgh -1 at St. Louis
Pittsburgh's offense is very talented. St. Louis' defensive line is one of the best in the NFL, but it will get worn down facing such a dynamic offense. On offense, though, St. Louis can stick with the Steelers. This is going to be a much tougher game than many believes it to be. Going with the home team.
Pick: St. Louis
San Francisco at Arizona -6
San Francisco QB Colin Kaepernick has played well this season. He threw the ball with authority versus Pittsburgh's secondary. Still, Arizona is one of the best teams in the NFL. If they start RB David Johnson, they should roll to an easy victory.
Pick: Arizona
Buffalo at Miami -3
Miami's offense had some trouble scoring more than 20 points versus Jacksonville's supposedly terrible defense. What's going to happen to the Fins when they face Buffalo? Buffalo's offense got it going versus New England's defense late. It won't be as effective versus Miami's defense.
Pick: Miami
Chicago at Seattle
Seattle should sign Kam Chancellor as soon as possible. Give the guy whatever he wants. The 'Hawks have now allowed Nick Foles to throw for 297 yards and a TD without a pick and Aaron Rodgers to throw for 249 yards and 2 TDs without a pick. Seattle should beat Chicago but it's not looking good.
Pick: Seattle

Denver -2.5 at Detroit
Denver performed a miracle comeback against Kansas City on the road in Week 2. Detroit failed miserably on the road versus the Vikings in Week 2. Matthew Stafford is questionable. If he plays, Detroit should win.
Pick: Detroit
Kansas City at Green Bay -6.5
Green Bay has that Super Bowl look to them. A letdown in Week 3 after beating Seattle 27 to 17 could be in store, though. Go with Kansas City who knows that they should be sitting at 2 and 0 instead of 1 and 1.
Pick: Kansas City

Nicolas Chopin emailed me about the opening of a position of Professor of Statistics at [my alma mater] ENSAE, on the Paris-Saclay campus [and plateau], next to Polytechnique, Telecom, and a bunch of other engineer schools [a.k.a The French MIT!]. The largest concentration of Science majors in France, definitely to be considered for a posiiton in France! Deadline is quite soon, as November 1. [Pardon my French: The pun in the title sort of fizzled out in translation because served on a plate is equivalent to served on a plateau in French.]

lost in translation [oops]Posted in Statistics with tags book review, CHANCE, Maurice Audin, Michèle Audin, One Hundred Twenty-One Days, translation, Une Vie Brève on April 20, 2017 by xi'an
In my latest book review for CHANCE, I published my review of Michèle Audin's Une Vie Brève. However, for a reason I cannot remember, I (?) added that the translated edition of the book was One Hundred Twenty-One Days, which is an altogether different book by the same author! (I actually cannot find a trace of this reference in my submitted LaTeX file, although this does not signify I did not add the remark when I got the proofs.) This was pointed out by the translator, Christiana Hills, so apologies to the author and to the readers for this confusion!
how to translate evidence into French?Posted in Books, Statistics, University life with tags Bayes factors, evidence, Evidence and Evolution, French vs. English, obvious, translation on July 6, 2014 by xi'an
I got this email from Gauvain who writes a PhD in philosophy of sciences a few minutes ago:
L'auteur du texte que j'ai à traduire désigne les facteurs de Bayes comme une "Bayesian measure of evidence", et les tests de p-value comme une "frequentist measure of evidence". Je me demandais s'il existait une traduction française reconnue et établie pour cette expression de "measure of evidence". J'ai rencontré parfois "mesure d'évidence" qui ressemble fort à un anglicisme, et parfois "estimateur de preuve", mais qui me semble pouvoir mener à des confusions avec d'autres emploi du terme "estimateur".
which (pardon my French!) wonders how to translate the term evidence into French. It would sound natural that the French évidence is the answer but this is not the case. Despite sharing the same Latin root (evidentia), since the English version comes from medieval French, the two words have different meanings: in English, it means a collection of facts coming to support an assumption or a theory, while in French it means something obvious, which truth is immediately perceived. Surprisingly, English kept the adjective evident with the same [obvious] meaning as the French évident. But the noun moved towards a much less definitive meaning, both in Law and in Science. I had never thought of the huge gap between the two meanings but must have been surprised at its use the first time I heard it in English. But does not think about it any longer, as when I reviewed Seber's Evidence and Evolution.
One may wonder at the best possible translation of evidence into French. Even though marginal likelihood (vraisemblance marginale) is just fine for statistical purposes. I would suggest faisceau de présomptions or degré de soutien or yet intensité de soupçon as (lengthy) solutions. Soupçon could work as such, but has a fairly negative ring…
did I mean endemic? [pardon my French!]Posted in Books, Statistics, University life with tags Air France, Bayesian Analysis, censoring, endemic, Glasgow, guest editors, information theory, Larry Wasserman, Robins-Wasserman paradox, Statistical Science, translation, Ubiquitous Chip on June 26, 2014 by xi'an
Deborah Mayo wrote a Saturday night special column on our Big Bayes stories issue in Statistical Science. She (predictably?) focussed on the critical discussions, esp. David Hand's most forceful arguments where he essentially considers that, due to our (special issue editors') selection of successful stories, we biased the debate by providing a "one-sided" story. And that we or the editor of Statistical Science should also have included frequentist stories. To which Deborah points out that demonstrating that "only" a frequentist solution is available may be beyond the possible. And still, I could think of partial information and partial inference problems like the "paradox" raised by Jamie Robbins and Larry Wasserman in the past years. (Not the normalising constant paradox but the one about censoring.) Anyway, the goal of this special issue was to provide a range of realistic illustrations where Bayesian analysis was a most reasonable approach, not to raise the Bayesian flag against other perspectives: in an ideal world it would have been more interesting to get discussants produce alternative analyses bypassing the Bayesian modelling but obviously discussants only have a limited amount of time to dedicate to their discussion(s) and the problems were complex enough to deter any attempt in this direction.
As an aside and in explanation of the cryptic title of this post, Deborah wonders at my use of endemic in the preface and at the possible mis-translation from the French. I did mean endemic (and endémique) in a half-joking reference to a disease one cannot completely get rid of. At least in French, the term extends beyond diseases, but presumably pervasive would have been less confusing… Or ubiquitous (as in Ubiquitous Chip for those with Glaswegian ties!). She also expresses "surprise at the choice of name for the special issue. Incidentally, the "big" refers to the bigness of the problem, not big data. Not sure about "stories"." Maybe another occurrence of lost in translation… I had indeed no intent of connection with the "big" of "Big Data", but wanted to convey the notion of a big as in major problem. And of a story explaining why the problem was considered and how the authors reached a satisfactory analysis. The story of the Air France Rio-Paris crash resolution is representative of that intent. (Hence the explanation for the above picture.)

The translation of the book Introducing Monte Carlo Methods with R is now published and out! I have received five copies in the mail yesterday, although it was not produced in time for my R class students to get it before the exam today. The book is still indicated on amazon.com as appearing in February, while amazon.fr announces the publication for January 20. I am very pleased with the quality of the output, in contrast with the first printing of the English version.
Méthodes de Monte-Carlo avec RPosted in Books, Kids, R, Statistics, University life with tags Introducing Monte Carlo Methods with R, Pratique R, R, Springer-Verlag Paris, translation, Use R on December 3, 2010 by xi'an
The translation of the book Introducing Monte Carlo Methods with R is close to being completed. The copy-editing and page-setting are done, I have received the cover proposal and am happy with it, so it should now go to production and be ready by early January, (earlier than the tentative end of February indicated on amazon) maybe in time for my R class students to get it before the exam. Thanks to the efforts of Pierre-André Cornillon and Eric Matzner (from the Université de Haute-Bretagne in Rennes), the move from the Use R! series format to the Pratique R series format was done seamlessly and effortlessly for me. (Again, thanks to the traductors who did produce their translations in sometimes less than a month!) I am curious to see how much of a market there is for the French translation… The Japanese translation is scheduled for August 2011 at the very least, but I am obviously not involved at all in this translation!
Beta translation done!Posted in Books, R, Statistics, University life with tags French, Introducing Monte Carlo Methods with R, Springer-Verlag, translation, Vancouver on August 30, 2010 by xi'an
Once my team of four translators had handed back to me all the chapters of the French version of Introducing Monte Carlo Methods with R to me, I had to go over the book to ensure some minimal consistency between the chapters. I started the editing in the plane to Vancouver but did not get much done until last Monday when arriving in Long Beach. After three days of hard work, here at home, I am now done with the beta version of the translation and I have sent it to the French Springer editor… I hope he will not ask for deep changes as I have absolutely no time left in my schedule for the coming months!

"Bipolar Menopause," Meg Tuite
by MP
Lately, I've been strapped into this chokehold ride of blunt, cataleptic stalemate, like that time I was stuck inside The Egg, upside down at a carnival, with bloodless knuckles clutching the bar for twenty minutes, gritting my teeth, preparing to wallop the dolt below who operated this rickety cage, if I survived this chess game with death and got out and stood with my goddamned numbed feet on solid ground again.
So I'm listening to this friend of mine go on about her fucked up marriage for an eternity and I can hear the movement of her frantic pulsating voice like some kind of bipolar symphony with her jumping from woodwinds to brass and back again. He was jacking off to porn in the basement three years ago and she caught him. How could he do something so heinous when he knows she's been through trauma and it all happened in a basement? Were you having any sex with the guy, I made myself ask. Well, no, not for three years, but it was a horrible thing to walk into. And I'm thinking I would have probably hit the porn sites. So I say, aren't you glad it was a porn site and not a real woman he went out on you with? And then I realize, wait a fucking minute, she's just had sex with some other guy. She said when she drank too much red wine that this new bronco had done things to her that she never even knew existed. And I had to say well, hell, yes to that. And now, I'm feeling myself rocking back and forth trying to figure out where I'm supposed to go and that's when the strangulation begins and I feel the heat rising from every internal organ inside me and I think I don't have time for this shit and people get paid to give out advice and so, I say, give me twenty bucks. That stops her in her tracks. She looks at me like I'm crazy and I hold out my hand. So my anger starts to crescendo and I say what am I? A free goddamn therapist? And she screams and smacks at me, jumps up in horror and runs off to her car and another manic voice is out of my dwindling throng.
Another one keeps calling. I see her face show up on my phone and I'm not answering. I don't feel like listening to her whining about something that's happened at work of for that matter anywhere at all. The boyfriend who left her. The bills she can't pay. The friends who don't talk to her anymore. And whenever I make the mistake of picking up the phone, if I respond or say something I think I need to say back, she tells me that's exactly what you should have done. It came to her in a dream last night because she's psychic and anything that I have figured out in my life, well, she has already seen it in a fucking vision. So once again, I'm sucked into this vortex of foaming, blustering violence and I understand all those poor souls that are fenced behind bars in prisons all over the world, because right now I'd like to take a rake to her and so I decide to rack them up like billiard balls, so I tell her she's a bloodsucker, someone who comes from a long line of deranged gene pools, and she's huffing and puffing and cutting in on my words like teeth. She slams down the phone and somehow I'm feeling lighter, less full of bullshit.
Soon the phone doesn't ring anymore. No more lunches or intense café chats to sit through. I can watch TV and eat popcorn or ice cream or whatever the hell I want. It's not nearly as lonely as I had imagined.

Food production turns green
Agriculture is – somewhat paradoxically – one of the largest polluters and contributors of greenhouse gases. The latest trends in food production, most notably sustainable agriculture, are trying to hange that. Key to this are local production, new scientific methods and, above all, no pesticides and other phytopharmaceuticals. One of the leaders in organic food production in Slovenia is KMG PanOrganic, a young company from Ljutomer in eastern Slovenia. Their Goji fruit spread is successfully sold in many markets, including the United Arab Emirates. KMG PanOrganic is becoming one of the leading organic farmers in Slovenia, supplying all the major retailers in the country with fresh produce, with original brands like Česnek for garlic and Živa for lettuce. Another initiative from eastern Slovenia focuses on so called smart agriculture to replace traditional agricultural methods based on chemistry and information technology. Murska Sobota based Digital Innovation Hub for Agriculture and Food production (DIH AGRIFOOD) brings together Slovenian and European research and development expertise in the field of Agriculture and Food production. In western Slovenia sustainable methods are being put into practice in cheese production: Planika diary in Kobarid, for example, took part in the Interreg project on sustainability in the Mediterranean agri-food system to »clean-up« the production of its premium Tolminc cheese.
The key ingredient in Slovenian sustainable agriculture, however, remains beekeeping. Since the introduction of the World Bee Day last May, Slovenia has strengthened its position as the global leader in beekeeping technology and know-how. The Beekeeping Academy of Slovenia and Medex, a honey seller, have launched a pilot project for training beekeepers from developing countries in Bangladesh earlier this year. The goal of the project is beekeeping that provides opportunities to reduce unemployment, empower socially vulnerable groups, raise awareness of living with nature and environmental protection, and – above all - to combat famine by increasing food production with pollination. Experts from the University of Ljubljana are also taking part in a UK led project to develop honeybee derived medicine and health support in relation to some of Africa's most intractable diseases.

(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) WBA light heavyweight champion Beibut Shumenov (14-1, 9 KO's) realizes that he's got to be a lot better than he's ever been before if he's go escape with his WBA title in his unification match against the wily old fox IBF light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (54-6-2, 32 KO's) in their fight on April 19th at the DC Armory, Washington, District of Columbia, USA. The fight will the be televised by Showtime, and it's going to give the 30-year-old Shumenov a lot of publicity to either shine or look bad against the 49-year-old Hopkins.
Shumenov is getting Hopkins at the right time in his career, as Hopkins didn't look so great in his last fight against his mandatory challenger Karo Murat last October. Hopkins won that fight by a fairly lopsided 12 round unanimous decision, but Hopkins was hit more in that fight than he had in many years. Murat was able to get in close and nail Hopkins with a lot of shots to the head.
Hopkins tried to roll with the punches, but there was no mistaking the fact that he was hit many clean punches during the course of the fight. It was lucky for Hopkins that Murat wasn't a big puncher and nowhere close to being as talented or as powerful as the best fighters in the division in Adonis Stevenson and Sergey Kovalev. Hopkins would have lost to either of those guys on that night if they were in with him instead of the light hitting Murat.
Shumenov has better power than Murat, and superior skills. He's got the kind of talent that could potentially lead him to victory over Hopkins if he can put enough pressure on the aging fighter.
"I know that I have never faced anyone like Bernard, and it will be my hardest fight," Shumenov said to RingTV. "I have lived and breathed studying his fights. When you fight Bernard, you have to expect the unexpected. He can use any kind of style. I will have to be prepared to fight against a super human."
Shumenov shouldn't make the mistake of putting Hopkins on too high of a pedestal, because we're still talking about a fighter who was pretty well handled in his loss to Chad Dawson, and who really hasn't fought anyone with a pulse since the Dawson fight. Hopkins has won his last two fights since then in beating Murat and Tavoris Cloud, but those aren't quality opponent when compared to the top guys in the light heavyweight division.

Elder Cross, he is definitely not like Elder Perkins. He's really nice. It's a little different because Elder Perkins was blunt and forward with people, and Elder Cross is more soft and calm-speaking with people. He's from Idaho Falls.
Interesting this week, we were sitting by a house of some investigators, and while we were sitting there, the cops came. It was really awkward because all of us were just sitting on these big spindles, two Columbian guys and two Mormon missionaries. There's more to the story but that's the most interesting part... They didn't get taken away or anything...

Oh, intertubes, how I do love the Spring! Sure, I know that, technically, it's not quite Spring yet, but the fact that we opened the windows last night and the temperatures will hit the mid-70s this weekend is good news for me. I abhorred the depressing skies and bitter chill of February, but March…even with erratic weather patterns and savage wind conditions possible…March is just a better time of year.
Speaking of erratic, here are some RANDOM THOUGHTS
- I'm running the Anthem 5K on Saturday morning as part of the Louisville Triple Crown of Running. Anticipating a great run with start temps in the mid-50s.
- My Boston Red Sox are having a horrible Spring in the win/loss columns, but at least there doesn't seem to be any controversy.
- I'm thankful that I still have a job with unemployment reaching 8.1% today.
- Regardless of what happens in California, Proposition 8 is improper because it denies people, humans, the privilege of marriage. That's what it boils down to. And, the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, gives us that right. Don't believe me…check out Amendment 14.
- The baby is coming in 9 weeks, give or take. Not much time left to guess the name.
That about covers it for now. A running update will hopefully follow on Monday. I know it's been a while. Check out the movies page for the latest viewings.
See you in the funny papers!

Shiny new school shoes - make the first day at school a breeze
Starting a new school can be an exciting new adventure or a terrifying nerve-wracking nail-biting experience. From toddler to teen, life is full of challenges and 'new' experiences and the natural reaction is for a child to retreat from the situation and look to a parent for reassurance.
How a child reacts to starting a new school depends on their character, their ability to handle change, whether friends will be joining with them, and how their parents behave. Sue Atkins, a parent coach, author and founder of Positive Parents Confident Kids, says: "A parent's attitude is of vital importance to the 'Big Day' experience. If a parent appears nervous, anxious, worried or over-protective, then the child will notice the tensions and react with anxiety, reluctance and hesitancy."
Sue Atkins has some positive parenting pointers to help make the first day at school a breeze:
1. Talk to your child about what to expect – if the new school is a nursery or reception class, talk about what will happen during the day, such as snacks, milk-time, story or quiet time, the toys, or noise of the other children. If it is a secondary school, talk about the layout of the larger building, the new homework expectations, new friends, new timetable or the route home.
2. Take your child to school – with younger children, the place where they go to the toilet or hang their coat is of great importance to them – knowing where these are can really help them relax in the early days in a new environment. With older children, taking them to find the toilets might not make you very popular, but you can accompany them to school for a few days so they are confident about how to get to school.
3. It's OK to be nervous – let your child know that it's OK to be nervous and worried about being away from you. Get them to think about a familiar object or toy they could take with them for a short while until they get used to the changes.
4. Find a 'buddy' or special friend – your child may already know someone who will be in the same class, maybe they went to primary school with someone who is going to the same secondary school. Try and meet up a few times in the summer holiday
5. Make the daily breakfast routine relaxed – lay out school clothes or make the packed lunch the night before and get your child involved in helping with the process. This helps take away some of the anxiety and is an opportunity for listening and chatting through little or big niggles.
The first day won't be easy for everyone, so if a child does have difficulties Sue Atkins has a few survival tips which will work wonders:
1. Encourage older children to ask for help - if they don't understand the routine or where they are supposed to be for classes, or aren't sure about what to do for their homework, then encourage them to realise that everyone is in the same boat.
2. Be firm about going to school – don't "give in" to staying at home as this sends the wrong message and really is making a rod for your own back!
3. Always pick up on time – it will make your child feel secure and safe knowing that you are waiting for them with a smile and a lovely greeting. With older children don't bombard them with questions like: "Well, how was it?" when they get home. Let them relax and talk about their day in their own time - just greet them with a smile and an "It's good to see you".
4. Always reassure and be accepting of your child's feelings – acknowledge your child's feelings as it shows respect to their genuine emotions and gives you an opportunity to help them learn to cope with new experiences positively.
5. Stay positive and be relaxed – if your child reverts to thumb sucking, bedwetting becomes clingy, or has nightmares, these behaviours are usually only temporary setbacks.
Starting at secondary school can be just as daunting an experience as starting at primary school. Sue Atkins suggests: "Encourage your child to see their school as a 'Human Zoo' and not necessarily a 'Wild Jungle'. It is a place with lots of interesting animals and the zookeepers (teachers) are there to help them - not to contain them!"
Remember that you are creating a blueprint for how your child handles change throughout their lives. With a parent's patience, understanding and love the first day at school will be a rewarding and positive experience.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. It is a day to reflect on all the good things we have in this country. It is customary as everyone gathers at the dinner table to list off many of the good things we have including gifts, talents, and family.
This is an important holiday. Not only because we re-create history, but it's a good idea to step back once in a while and remember all the good things in life. We will always remember the sad or tragic moments or the moments of failure, but we NEED to remember the good times and the good things we have.
Some people consider this a "food holiday" meaning that you just sit there and eat and watch the parade and football games all day or is it all about "Black Friday"?
This brings me to the title "giving thanks or thanks for giving". I am starting to prepare my business for a new year and to closer out the present year. In my business, Virtual Colleague, LLC, I am thankful for the clients I have this year. I learned from them and they learned from me. We worked as a team and accomplish our goals. I'm thankful that I got to know and work with them.
What about "thanks for giving". It's difficult for some people to acknowledge a good deed. Thank you seems to be one of the hardest words to say in the English language. If I work with a client long enough (some are only short term clients), they usually end up saying "thanks for giving" …so much of your time to this project. My clients appreciate the time I spend to make their jobs run smoothly.
I think of giving thanks for things that I already have, but I think of thanks for giving as appreciation for my daily actions. In either case, thankfulness helps you to appreciate what you have and what you do. It makes some of the choices in life easier to make, because being thankful and giving thanks allows you to choose and evaluate what you will do.
Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving Day or not, it is a good idea to take one day a year and focus on the good things you've received and the good actions you've done. This resets your personal compass and motivates you to do even better.
What are the things you're thankful for and how thankful are you for what others have done for you?

Atheism's Gift
Christopher Killheffer on the Good Questions That Dispel False Beliefs
In discussing the nourishing character of Scripture, C. S. Lewis noted the importance of confronting the Bible in all its moods and voices, even "something in itself so anti-religious as the nihilism of Ecclesiastes." It's a striking idea, that Scripture should speak in the tones of the anti-religious, and perhaps it's an even more striking idea to suggest that exposing ourselves to those caustic tones could somehow be beneficial to us. What good could a blast of anti-religious nihilism do for a Christian life?
It's a question well worth asking in our own day, when anti-religious forces, espec . . .

In this paper, we want to address the issue of the relationship between social space, education methods and institutions that carry out education today and project the future of the society: human, social, economic and cultural. The inclusion of infants and children in education in our day in the Korça region, Albania, has attracted the attention of the University and local municipal institutions, in order to form them in accordance with the best educational programs and perspectives used today. The programs and curricula that take place today at our University aim to build an education with contemporary standards, in cooperation with local administrations and organized institutions that care for infants and children.
Children are constantly learning and absorbing new information wherever they go, not just in formal learning environments. There are many ways to incorporate children's learning and engagement in various aspects of a city's built environment. Such projects like kids mapping exercise, photo/visual media, technology, natural learning, brain builder, make place for children, etc., are designed to engage children in learning on the go. There are some best practices that build the children of the future, who grow up in the harmony with nature and society.

The New Yorker, June 29, 1957 P. 22
An evening with Lee, Jane, and their daughter, Jane, aged one year and seven months. Jane asked Lee about his day. He thought his day had been dull but he told her about a dream he'd had which involved attending a movie version of "Remembrance of Things Past", with a girl that was very appealing to him. He played with their child and gave her supper, thus relieving Jane for a bit. He tried to imagine what little Jane would look like as she matured, but found it difficult. To get the little one to sleep he had to tell her a story. By 10:30 Jane was tired and went to bed. Lee did too but couldn't sleep at first. When he did he had a dream in which a blonde girl was present, whom he washed very carefully. The girl was very likely his daughter - grown up.

A tear of joy runs down my cheek as I type this. The regular season starts tonight! Let me repeat that. The regular season starts TONIGHT! This off-season I've been breaking down rookie WRs & TEs, ranking the top WRs & TEs for the season, and giving you some sleepers and busts at each position. We're done with all of that mumbo jumbo (very meticulously thought out & analyzed mumbo jumbo mind you). Welcome, now, to my QB/TEs streams of the week for season long & DFS formats.
The difficulty with approaching Week 1 is that you're essentially starting from scratch. That's the beauty of it too, I suppose. Pre-season is not the most accurate indicator for how teams will fare in the season, and trends are fleeting in the NFL. Consider the LA Rams. They went from one of the worst offenses in the League to a powerhouse in the span of one off-season. The landscape of the NFL, and by extension fantasy football, shifts weekly. For the purpose of this article, I'll highlight mostly low-owned (season long) & bargain (DFS) quarterbacks and tight-ends who could make a significant difference on your rosters for the first week of the season. Rostering these players in DFS will give you the flexibility to spend big on those high impact, elite players. You know the drill.
Alex Smith @ Arizona Cardinals – FD: $6,900 | DK: $5,600
Season Long – 73.0% Owned
The only real negative I have against Alex Smith this week is that he'll be traveling across the country to face off against the Cardinals. The Cardinals, though, are not a defense I'm worrying about for Week 1. The Redskins' offensive line was decimated last season due to injuries. Now that the line is healthy, they'll figure to be one of the better lines in the NFL. This obviously benefits Smith. Smith had an MVP caliber season last year, and will be striving early to show that it wasn't a fluke. Smith has the weapons to put points on the board, and the Cardinals defense is a shell of its former self with the departure of Mathieu to the Texans & Tramon Williams to the Packers. Smith will likely already be owned in season long formats, but he comes at a bit of a bargain in your DFS leagues. I'd put my money on Smith having a standout Week 1 performance to remind us what he's capable of.
Andy Dalton @ Indianapolis Colts – FD: $6,800 | DK: $5,800
Season Long – 17.8% Owned
The Bengals and the Colts both sucked last year. No bones about it. The Bengals' offensive line was woefully bad, and the Colts just couldn't get anything going with Brissett under center. I think this game is going to end up as Week 1's unexpected shootout. Both defenses are on the wrong side of the #16 benchmark, and the Colts DST is the consensus worst defense overall heading into the season. This bodes well for The Red Rifle. Dalton will also have all of his weapons healthy (at least as things currently stand). Even Tyler Eifert is healthy. Having this dynamic red zone weapon, and John Ross' field stretching abilities surely boosts Dalton's outlook for Week 1.
Blake Bortles @ New York Giants – FD: $6,600 | DK: $5,600
Season Long – 11.6% Owned
Bortles isn't the easiest quarterback to get behind. The Jags' offense runs through Fournette, his WR1 just had a season ending knee injury, and their defense is what brought them to the AFC Championship. That said, they'll be playing the Giants defense, which was pretty dismal last season, especially against the tight end position (stay tuned for a groundbreaking QB/TE stack suggestion). Last season the Giants DST allowed an average of 16.5 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. The Giants' defense hasn't made that many improvements this offseason to suggest that we won't see more of the same. I think the Jags, and Bortles should be in a good position to put up some points in the Big Apple.
Tyrod Taylor vs. Pittsburgh Steelers – FD: $6,600 | DK: $5,400
Season Long – 28.7% Owned
I want to be as clear as possible. This isn't post-Hard Knocks hype. Yes, Tyrod Taylor is at home in week 1 against what is typically a tough Steelers' defense. He is, however, the starting quarterback on a Todd Haley-led offense, with a solid offensive line, and actual pass catching weapons. Having players such as Jarvis Landry, Duke Johnson Jr., David Njoku, and Carlos Hyde is surely a change of pace from his Buffalo Bills days. The Steelers will do what they always do, and keep their opposition in passing situations. This is exactly what we need from our streaming/DFS quarterbacks, and it's why I think Tyrod is a good streaming option.
Case Keenum vs. Seattle Seahawks – FD: $6,300 | DK: $5,100
Season Long – 13.0% Owned
The Broncos hope to have a capable starter in Keenum, and I think he will impress in Week 1 against the Seahawks. That's a sentence I never thought I'd type! Whether you like it or not, the Seattle Seahawks' defense is a shade of its former self. The loss of Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, & Michael Bennett has left a lingering scar on what was once one of the most dominant defenses in the League, and Earl Thomas' holdout further opens that wound. It wouldn't surprise me to see Keenum take advantage of this match-up at Mile High stadium in the season opener. The Broncos are currently the favorite in this Sunday's contest, and have an 85% win percentage at home. All positives for the new Broncos quarterback to make a Week 1 statement.
Hail Mary Quarterback Play of the Week:
Joe Flacco vs. Buffalo Bills – FD: $6,100 | DK: $4,900
Season Long – 4.2% Owned
Joe Flacco was not elite last season. After a disappointing season he finished as the QB #24. Having him listed here has less to do with my faith in his ability, and more to do with my confidence in the Bills being a dumpster fire this year. The Bills' offensive line is more porous than Swiss cheese at a gun range, and their defense won't be able to hold up in the second half as their starting QB will have a hard time against the Ravens' DST. If I were writing about streaming DST's for Week 1, the Ravens would be the first team on that list. Last season, when Peterman made his NFL debut against the Chargers, he became a household name when he threw five (5) interceptions in the first half. While I don't anticipate such a resounding rout for the Bills, I think Flacco will find himself with favorable field position throughout the game. That should translate to positive fantasy production.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins @ New York Giants – FD: $4,600 | DK: $3,200
Season Long – 25.4% Owned
Now ASJ isn't someone I actively want on my rosters beyond this week. The fact of the matter is that he'll be up against a Giants' defense that ranked 31st against the tight end position last season. They were truly bad. If you were streaming the position last year, you were streaming the tight ends who were up against the Giants. The Giants don't look to have improved in that department, giving up 2 touchdowns to David Njoku in their first preseason game. Let's also not forget that Marcedes Lewis was the Jaguars' primary red zone target last season, receiving 16.7% of targets within the 20-yard line. I'm high on ASJ for Week 1.
Ben Watson vs. Tampa Bay – FD: $4,900 | DK: $3,100
Season Long – 27.3% Owned
Drew Brees knows & loves Ben Watson. The two have been reunited in New Orleans after Watson's two year hiatus from The Big Easy. In 2015, his final season on the Saints, Watson was targeted 110 times for 74 receptions, 825 yards and six touchdowns. Tampa Bay is coming into New Orleans to kick of the season with an in-division game. These games are historically high scoring, and Vegas agrees projecting that this game will have the highest point total in Week 1. With all the scoring that will be going around there's a very good chance that Ben Watson finds himself with a touchdown on Sunday.
Jared Cook vs. Los Angeles Rams – FD: $5,000 | DK: $3,700
Season Long – 26.2% Owned
The Rams are a very good defense. They're loaded up front & in the secondary. What they struggled against last season was opposing tight ends, finishing as the #15 worst/best defense against the position. Derek Carr will likely have a hard time finding Cooper & Nelson being covered by Aquib Talib & Marcus Peters. This leaves Cook as the main safety valve for Carr, and I bet he will be looking at him often. Let's not forget that Cook led the Raiders last season in receiving yards. He'll be a steady fixture in this offense, and will prove once more as a fantasy asset this week.
Charles Clay @ Baltimore Ravens – FD $5,200 | DK $3,500
Season Long – 56.7% Owned
I'm not a fan of the Bills' offense this season at all. I don't like their match-up this week against the Ravens' DST either. One thing you can't overlook, though, is targets. Charles Clay may very well be the best, most reliable pass catcher on the Bills' offense, and he will be leaned on in their passing game. The Ravens were pretty bad against opposing tight ends, too, giving up around 13.2 points per game to the position last season. I'd only recommend this as a last resort kind of play for Week 1, as I don't project good things for the Bills this season.
Tyler Eifert @ Indianapolis Colts – FD: $5,600 | DK: $3,400
Season Long – 62.7% Owned
Listen, Tyler Eifert is a scary player to start. He seems more fragile than Jordan Reed, and hasn't played a snap since Sept. 14th of last year. If he's 100%, which it would appear he is, and if he's playing, which all reports are saying he will, then he's a threat. His touchdown rate is fantastic, and at a certain point of streaming, you're just looking for that one touchdown. Now right now Eifert is currently a little over valued on Fanduel than on DraftKings, so he's a platform dependent play. I'd also be very surprised to see if people who own him in season long plan on playing him this week, and didn't just draft him for the upside he presents. The matchup against the Colts does nothing to scare me. If Eifert lines up in the red zone, you can bet he get his share of looks.
Hail Mary Tight-End Play of the Week:
Ricky Seals-Jones vs. Washington Redskins – FD: $5,100 | DK: $3,000
Season Long – 6.8% Owned
Ricky Seals-Jones had short stretch of games toward the end of last season that made him a sneaky play in fantasy. Seals-Jones' value comes from the lack of receivers on the Cardinals' offense outside of perennial force, Larry Fitzgerald, and workhorse David Johnson. Sam Bradford's extensive history of shorter passes favors Seals-Jones, as does the fact that he'll be up against the defense that allowed 14.2 pts. per game against tight ends last season. The second year tight end simply checks all of the boxes as a player who stands to benefit from his current position. Sunday evening could give him the opportunity to set a benchmark to build off of for the remainder of the season.
QB/TE combo play of the week:
Blake Bortles & ASJ. I think Bortles will find his tight end in the endzone at least once this week against 2017's 2nd worst defense against tight ends. A primary narrative this offseason for the Jaguars was Bortles' developing a great rapport with ASJ. This week will test just how established that rapport really has become. Bortles is a cheap option on DFS as well. FD: $6,600, DK: $5,600.
