Amazing new DIY idea...
It seems that palette bed frames are beginning to be all the buzz right now. I think this is an awesome idea. It also gives you that much needed extra storage space. I'm sure it's very inexpensive to create as well. If I had enough room I would definitely do this. Who knows right?

DIY scented candle
ORANGE CANDLE! So clever!
Just take an orange/lemon/grapefruit, cut in half, eat the middle portion, leave the center core-like stem intact. Pour a kitchen oil (veg oil,olive oil, etc) into orange just below the top of the stem. Light stem. It will burn for hours and smell amazing.

Some uses and benefits of Cinnamon!
Some uses and benefits of Cinnamon
1) Seedlings. The term dampening off covers a range of diseases and that attack a seed/seedling either before or after germination and cause the seedling to die. They can be caused by several different fungus and soil conditions. A few years back I read that if you dust the soil with cinnamon it will prevent dampening off. I've been doing it since with great results! (this also get's rid of those little gnats that somehow appear around seedling trays)
2) Wild mushrooms. Nothing worse then having to waste a beautiful day pulling mushrooms from the mulch in my flower beds. Mushrooms are fungus though, and by dusting cinnamon all over the mulch it helps to control mushroom growth.
3) Rooting hormone. Much cheaper then the chemical stuff they sell in the big box store and just as effective! Just apply cinnamon powder to the stem when you plant the cutting.
4) Ant deterrent. Ants do not like cinnamon! Sprinkle it in your greenhouse or around your garden beds. It will not kill the ants, but they will stay away from it. Sprinkle it by your doors if ants are coming into your house. They really hate to cross a line of cinnamon!
5) Plant wounds. Overzealous pruning or a slip of the weed whacker and you'll have a plant with a wound that needs fixed up. Simply dust cinnamon on the wound to encourage healing and prevent fungal infection at the same time.
6) House plants. Cinnamon get's rid of molds and mildew in house plants too. Simply sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on the soil. It will also get rid of gnats if you happen to have them buzzing around your house plants. These are the same gnats seedlings get, the cinnamon destroys the fungus they feed on and they will die.

Another homemade favorite!!!
If you're like me, you enjoy homemade bread with your soup. This one is really delicious!
Whole Wheat Bread
5 -6 tablespoons yeast
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup warm water
1⁄2 cup vegetable oil
3 cups hot water
1 cup honey
10 -13 cups whole wheat flour
Soften yeast in warm water for about 5 minutes.
Dissolve honey in hot water; stir in salt and oil. Cool to lukewarm.
Add softened yeast to honey mixture.
Gradually mix in flour until gluten develops and the dough begins pulling away from sides of mixing bowl. Don't add too much flour or bread will be too dry.
Spray sides of bowl with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until double in size.
Punch dough down and form into 3 equal loaves.
Place in greased loaf pans and let rise again until doubled.
Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. (I put pans on bottom rack of oven).
Place pans on wire racks and cool for 5-10 minutes before removing bread from pans.
Let cool at least 10 minutes longer before cutting.

Italian Wedding Soup with Turkey Meatballs
Italian Wedding Soup with Turkey Meatballs
Another warm soup for these cold winter months!
10 ounces ground turkey
1 clove garlic, minced
1/8 cup snipped fresh parsley
½ egg, slightly beaten (beat an egg and save half for another use. Or just double the recipe and don't fool with that!)
2 tablespoons Italian seasoned bread crumbs (I substituted regular bread crumbs with a small pinch each of Italian seasoning and garlic powder)
1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon sage
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon crushed fennel seed
Soup Base:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup onions, finally diced

Extra Parmesan cheese fresh shaved for garnish
Place ground turkey, garlic, parsley, egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, sage, salt, pepper and fennel seed in mixing bowl and combine well. Form into about 36 meatballs 3/4" diameter.

Heat olive oil in 4 ½ quart soup pot over medium heat. Add onions, carrots and celery and cook until softened about 5 minutes, stirring.
Add chicken stock to vegetables and bring to a boil. Add meatballs carefully, reduce heat to maintain a slow boil, and cook 3 minutes.
Add pasta and continue cooking for 7 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add spinach and cook 1 minute more just to wilt.
Serve in individual bowls and pass extra shaved Parmesan cheese for garnish.
Yields: 4 main dish servings, or 6-8 small bowls.

Classic Potato Soup recipe
Classic Potato Soup
You can, of course, decrease the cheese amount. I also add broccoli, carrots, corn, peas or any combination of those when I am in the mood. Very delicious, yet simple.
6 -8 medium potatoes
1⁄4 cup butter
1⁄2 cup flour
6 cups milk
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
1⁄2 lb cheddar cheese
Peel, cube, boil, drain and "mush" potatoes to the consistency you like (I like them lumpy, but my kids like smaller pieces).
In separate pan, melt butter, add flour and cook while stirring for about a minute or so.
Add half the milk and stir until lumps are out of flour mixture.
Add remaining milk and on med-high heat, heat to a boil.
Stir almost constantly or it will scorch.
After boiling, turn heat off and add remaining ingredients.

Good afternoon, plus an update!
Good afternoon everyone. I figured that I would take this time to give you all a short update on how and what I'm doing as of right now...
My physical health, I feel is kind of at the 50/50 point. While I am dealing with the lower back pain, I am starting to slowly manage it better. The strange thing is ever since I have had the problems with the arthritis in my back, all of my other symptoms from the lupus and fibromyalgia have been scarce. I honestly have no idea why that is even so, but I'm not complaining. My body is kind of strange sometimes when it comes to the health issues.
It could be because I am managing the lupus and fibromyalgia with a specific vitamin regimen and specific foods that I eat every day. If I don't follow this regimen, then I do get my symptoms back. I try to manage my physical illnesses naturally if I am at all able. There are times when I have to give in and take pharmaceuticals to manage the physical pain.
As for the working from home, that's slowly starting to improve. I have worked out a system for myself that will not be too stressful or overwhelming. I found that if I set small goals for myself every month, it helps me to meet that quota and helps keep me focused. It also helps me to put the work in that I need.
So enough about me, how are you all doing? I know that I don't get to talk to all of you privately, but I am trying to work on that. I know that everyone comes online at different times and I sometimes miss you when you're signed on Facebook.
If you ever want to talk, there are several ways that you can contact me. You can email me at email@example.com -OR- you can text me at (916) 370-6105 -OR- you can inbox me here on Facebook. I always check all of my messages on those platforms.
Have a wonderful day everyone. You're always in my thoughts and daily prayers.

A new game-day favorite!!!!
Oh wow, this is an awesome idea and if you want to make it really healthy, make the cauliflower pizza crust. I'll post the recipe link to the crust at the end of this post. And if you don't want to use mayonnaise, I suggest using your favorite sandwich spread.
BLT Pizza
1⁄2 cup mayonnaise (I prefer Miracle Whip) or 1⁄2 cup salad dressing (I prefer Miracle Whip)
2 teaspoons dried basil
1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
1⁄8 teaspoon onion powder
1 (16 ounce) prepared pizza crust, Italian bread shell or 1 (16 ounce) your favorite homemade prepared pizza crust
12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled, divided (I use turkey bacon)
3⁄4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (I've used Monterrey Jack instead as well)
3⁄4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, basil, garlic powder and onion powder; refrigerate for 1/2 hour or more.
Place the pizza crust on an ungreased 12-inch pizza pan.
Spread mayonnaise mixture over crust.
Set aside 1/4 cup bacon.
Sprinkle remaining bacon, cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese on crust.
Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 12 minutes or until cheese is melted. If doing a homemade crust, I bake mine at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 to 30 minutes or until done.
Top with lettuce, tomatoes, and reserved bacon.
Cut into wedges and serve. Enjoy!

Update on my Mother's condition...
Good morning everyone. I really wanted to give you a more detailed update on my Mother's condition. While she is dealing with all of her physical conditions, she is now dealing with major problems with her right knee.
Apparently there is a major gap in between the two bones that connect at the knee. It's so extreme, that only a complete knee replacement would correct the problem, however, we have come to a brick wall on that matter. Since my Mother has several severe lung conditions, the chances of her coming out of that kind of surgery safely, are very slim.
As I posted recently, when we had gone to do some errands the other day, one of the places we had to go to was the pharmacy to pick up our prescriptions. We were waiting in line and my Mom's right knee almost gave out. If my older sister Michelle wasn't there to catch her, she would have more certainly had another bad fall.
She had a bad fall back in 2015, and that's what caused the knee problem to worsen. And her left knee isn't much stronger. When she was in her late 20's, my Mother fell when she was going to visit someone and the side walk was cracked and it caused her to fall. She had to have knee surgery on both knees. The Doctor that did the surgery back then told her that despite the knee surgeries, her knees would worsen as she got older.
That's exactly what has happened. This is why I started this gofundme campaign. If any of you don't feel comfortable donating money, we will gladly accept donations of the items she needs to get her mobility back. The physical therapy and other things we can work other arrangements out for her. I am sincerely trying to get mobility support for my severely disabled Mother.
She is able to use her mobility chair in the apartment, but it's not portable so she can not take it with her when she goes around town to do errands, go to Doctor's appointments or other things she would like to be able to do.
You see, I may have some illnesses, but I have my mobility. My Mother has lost all of her independence. Most of her life is spent in bed. She can't even sit on the couch because her legs and arms are too weak to get back up. I will be updating the campaign description soon and making some modifications.
PLEASE share this campaign on as many social media platforms as you can. I'm not asking you to donate, just share the campaign. I am sure, sooner or later, we will get her what she needs.
My sole income right now is my disability benefits. I just started my new home business and it takes time to build. I know I can do it, but even then, I can not get my Mother everything she needs on my own. I am pleading.... begging for any kind of help. Sharing this campaign will greatly help her out.
I honestly don't know what else to say to gain your trust that this is NOT a scam, in any way, shape or form. Like I said, if you're willing to donate some of the items she needs, I am willing to talk to you privately and make arrangements. Donations does not need to be monetary.
Thank you for your time and for reading this update. Have a wonderful day.

Healthy Baked Corn Tortilla Chips (Homemade and Gluten-free)
A wonderful healthy snack and a great way to use up leftover corn tortillas. It's very simple to make. VARIATION: If you need more healthy oils in your diet, brush with olive oil.
Healthy Baked Corn Tortilla Chips (Homemade and Gluten-free)
5 corn tortillas (Misson brand is Gluten Free)
salt (optional, additional spice options listed in directions)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Stack tortillas one on top of the other and use kitchen sizzors to cut them into 4 slices like you would cut up a pizza.
Spread them out in a single layer on a cookie sheet (not air-bake) , spacing them at least 1/4" apart (they will be chewy instead of crispy if not spaced properly). (NOTE: If you must use an air-bake pan, try 350 degrees for 20 minutes).
Shake salt and desired toppings over tortillas.
TOPPING OPTIONS (choose any combo): SPICES: paprika, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder (sparingly), cayenne pepper (sparingly, will add heat!). CHEESES: grated Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese, etc. or try SWEET: cinnamon & sugar.
Bake 8-12 mins or until chips are starting to get crispy and slightly golden brown at the edges (check every 1-2 minutes after 8 mins).
Remove from oven and let cool 5-10 mins before serving in order to let them fully crisp.
Extra Crispy: put back in turned off oven at least 10 mins or until ready to serve for extra crispy and warm chips (watch them, you may need to leave oven door cracked to prevent over browning).

Taking it one day and one step at a time...
I have had so many friends kindly remind me that any journey always starts by taking it one step at a time, and that's what I most definitely intend on doing.
Living with any chronic pain or illness is a daily struggle. You never know how you're going to feel when you wake up. At time, there are days when the fatigue or the pain is extremely difficult to bare. All I can do, is try my best to cope. Today was no exception. I had to give in and take my anti-inflammatory and a pain killer. If you know me pretty well, you know I absolutely hate having to rely on prescription medication, but right now, it's the only thing that I don't have to pay out of pocket for. I rather prefer to take natural remedies, but unfortunately, anything healthy in this system costs money.
That's one of the reasons why I am so happy to be back in the health and wellness industry. I know that the natural way will benefit me more, but living on disability alone isn't going to get me to where I need my overall health to be. I hope I can help others while I am on my new journey. Just taking it all one day and one step at a time!

Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting recipe
This is why I ALWAYS opt for homemade desserts!
Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
1 1⁄2 cups bananas, mashed, ripe
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 cups flour
1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
3⁄4 cup butter, softened
2 1⁄8 cups sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1⁄2 cups buttermilk
1⁄2 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 1⁄2 cups icing sugar
chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 275°F (135C).
Grease and flour a 9 x 13 pan.
In a small bowl, mix mashed banana with the lemon juice; set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream 3/4 cup butter and 2 1/8 cups sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk.

Good morning!!!
Good morning everyone!
Exciting new things are happening in my life and I can not wait to share my experiences with you all. I hope you have a wonderful day! 💛
I refuse to give up!!!
Hey everyone. I wanted to start this post off by thanking you all for being so supportive and understanding, I know there are times that I can come across as complaining. I am really trying hard to work on being more positive. Living with lupus, fibromyalgia and migraines often causes me to feel drained, exhausted and it takes away my ability to enjoy every day activities. I do apologize if I ever complain too much or if I ever bring anyone down. That is never my intention.
If you're curious as to why I post about my health so often online, well I'll try to explain it as simple as I possibly can...
When I was a teenager, I used to write in a journal, every single day about whatever I was feeling or what I was experiencing. I feel it helped me open up, to where now, instead of writing in a journey, I like to share my experiences with other people. And since social media is available for me now, I feel it's the best outlet for me to express myself and maybe show others that are experiencing hardships, that they're not alone.
I like to share my successes and my frustrations. I want to show others that even when you are feeling at your lowest, you can overcome anything, with patience and the willingness to learn coping mechanisms. So that's why I tend to share a lot here on my profile. I am careful about who I post to as well, which is why most of the time, my posts are for friends only. But I do on a rare occasion, share with other people as well.
I look forward to sharing my journey to living a more productive and healthy lifestyle. It's a daily battle, but I don't think giving up is ever the answer. Do we need a break every now and then? Of course, but taking a break and giving up are two very different things.
Okay, enough rambling for now. Thank you all again for your time and friendship. It's most truly appreciated.

Alluring mermaids, a raging sea battle and a shrunken head accompany Captain Jack Sparrow in the newly released movie poster for Disney's PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES, sourced first by IGN. Star Johnny Depp takes center stage in what we hope might be the first in a series of character posters which could join in a four-panel quad design.
So far FilmEdge has no proof this will happen, but given the previous wide format poster of Jack firing two pistols, we know the burning ship in the background is seen (in a different pose) amid an epic sea battle of a dozen-plus ships in that artwork. Given how the ship in this new poster is truncated at the right edge of the image, we hope this is a clue leading to a quad-poster panoramic set featuring Depp's co-stars Penelope Cruz as Angelica, Ian McShane as Blackbeard, and Geoffrey Rush as Hector Barbossa. The trend to promote films with lead character poster designs has grown in recent years, and PIRATES 4 seems like a natural candidate for such marketing treatment.
Meanwhile, here's the new Jack Sparrow one-sheet design — click it to download the large, hi-res poster at FilmEdge.net. Watch for updates as we hope to get a super hi-res file from our pals at Disney soon!
UPDATE — our prediction above that this new Jack Sparrow might be the first of a multi-poster quad design may have struck gold! Stay tuned to FilmEdge for more developments coming soon.

Life is getting extremely crazy here these days which explains my failure to make many posts. Development work comes in ebbs and flows that revolve around the fiscal year and funding cycle of Congress. Most new projects are announced and posted in the spring and awards are generally made by the fall–before the end of the fiscal year.
Even though I'm not involved in proposal writing–money that's in the pipeline needs to be spent or obligated within a fiscal year–or you can risk losing it. SO…you have to review what you've proposed in your annual plan, determine what remains to be done, look at what is called your burn rate (that translates into the rate at which money is being spent) and then you make decisions about implementing activities to get things done before the end of the fiscal year. That's where this cycle involves me.
We're moving into the last year of implementation on the project I work on. So, we need to carefully review our contractual obligations. We have lots to do before the project ends and we're gearing up to full steam ahead. What is my team doing? 1) Developing training materials in early grade reading of Arabic and other materials in multi-grade teaching, 2) training literally thousands of teachers this summer in teaching arabic, in using ICT, in using active student learning, 3) developing training plans to build teacher capacity to use computers and related equipment in their teacher, 4) hosting workshops and seminars in key technical areas, 5) support the MOE to develop a model for moving into a early grade reading program, and 6) procure science kits and train teachers on them. I know it doesn't sound like that much but I literally am running in circles and not sleeping much trying to stay on top of things. And then there's the strategic support (allbeit limited) I provide around gender. Makes me tired just listing everything!!!
I leave in less than a month to go on my R & R in the US. So, with all of this going on it's really fortunate for me that I work with a team that is just amazing and extremely dedicated.
So, now it's your turn. What's up with you?

A stoush has erupted between an injured woman and Whanganui District Health Board, with both sides claiming the other has made errors and misleading or incorrect statements.
Merenia Donne, of Whanganui, said she fractured her skull after hitting her head on a structure earlier this year.
She said a referral was sent from her general practitioner to Whanganui Hospital on July 19, but said the hospital took three weeks to respond, before returning the referral to her GP and not offering treatment. During this time she suffered nosebleeds and headaches.
However, Whanganui District Health Board chief executive Julie Patterson said the hospital did not treat Ms Donne because the referral was mistakenly sent to the hospital, and was actually addressed to a surgeon by name at a private clinic in Wellington.
Ms Donne said the health board has made a "massive mistake".
"They just haven't dealt with it properly," she said.
"You don't send somebody with my diagnosis back to their GP. You don't leave the referral sitting on a desk for two weeks.
"Surely there's some massive mistake here. I just don't get how a hospital thinks it would be perfectly okay to send someone with a fractured skull back to their GP."
Ms Patterson said "the whole thing is nonsense".
"If the referral had been sent to the correct location, there would have been no delay in the referral being received by the private Lower Hutt-based surgeon.
"Having received the referral in error, it would have been inappropriate for Whanganui DHB to have taken any other action than to send the referral back to the GP, so that he was aware of the error and could then send the referral to its intended recipient."
Ms Patterson admitted it did take around three weeks for the hospital to realise the referral should have gone elsewhere, but only after it was assessed as low priority.
"She was not in any way compromised. This nonsense... about nosebleeds, it's nothing to do with this very, very small indentation that she has on her forehead."
"She's been happy to slam us... with absolutely no cause. As you can imagine, for all our staff here, I'm very unhappy about this."
Ms Patterson said the manager of patient safety called Ms Donne to discuss the issue, before the issue was made public.
"I'm completely baffled as to why she should have wanted to cast these quite unfair, inaccurate dispersions on Whanganui Hospital," said Ms Patterson.
Ms Donne said she only approached media because she had heard other similar stories.
"I'm concerned it's just the tip of the iceberg and I know I'm not the only one."
"Everybody will say there's two sides to every story, and that's true, and sometimes there's three because there's always the bit in the middle which is the core of the truth."

AfDB president, Africa places her hopes in Nigeria's gift to the continent
The nature of leadership changes; so do popular perceptions about it. Contemporary notions of the word (leadership) originate from the medieval idea that a magical man descends from the stars to manage our destinies and change our stars; he predictably exerts himself for the good of the clan. Akinwumi Adesina is, however, scarcely clannish. The former Minister of Agriculture and incumbent President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), does not subscribe to the insidious lure of bigotry, however, subtle or pronounced. But he brandishes that magical ability by which the proverbial leader is expected to overcome challenges of vanity, ancestral ties, distance and time. Will Adeshina alter our perceptions of leadership?
At the dawn of incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari's administration, Adeshina stood at great risk of being booted out of the corridors of power along with former President Goodluck Jonathan and his underachieving cabinet; but fate played in his favour as did his stewardship while he served with the immediate past administration.
As a member of former President Jonathan's cabinet, Adesina glittered like a lone diamond amid discoloured cut stones. His touted initiatives in the agricultural sector were severally hyped and touted as remarkably progressive and inspiring in the annals of the country's erstwhile moribund Ministry of Agriculture.
On his watch as Nigeria's agriculture minister, Adesina saw to the abrupt end of four decades of corruption in the agricultural sector, on the wings of the past administration's Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA). Until the scam was detected and eradicated, said Adesina, over N873 billion was spent on fertiliser subsidies between 1980 and 2010, while nearly 90 per cent of farmers never received the subsidized fertilisers. Predictably, the immediate past administration sought to win the hearts of the electorate by leveraging on the achievements made in the agricultural sector touting it as evidence of former President Jonathan's competence and suitability to serve another four-year term. However, the electorate wanted change and thus voted Adesina out with his principal.
But even though he forfeited his job, courtesy of the defeat of Jonathan's Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the March 28 presidential polls, Adesina's deeds while in office stood him out for yet another challenging and honourable role, this time on a larger playing field. He, however, attributes his emergence as AfDB president to his former boss, Jonathan and Nigeria's incumbent leader, President Buhari.
"I would like to give my special thanks to a few people in particular without whom this success would not have been possible: former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for nominating me, his confidence, and his steadfast, enthusiastic support; President Muhammadu Buhari for his strong endorsement and rallying support for us; and Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for her vital role and tremendous effort in delivering this successful outcome," he enthused in the wake of his appointment as president of the AfDB.
Despite his seemingly good run, Adesina's ascension to the top did not lay out in flat miles. Raised in rural Nigeria as a farmer's son, Adesina, as a youngster, took his father's heartfelt words very close to his heart and to the world: "If you ever become someone important," his father urged, "take the opportunity to help the poor." Adesina seized the advise to eliminate poverty in Africa by increasing his home country's agricultural productivity. "I'm running against time, and must make things happen very quickly," he said, and added: "Poverty in Africa must not be managed, but eliminated."
Adesina is a distinguished agricultural development expert with over 24 years experience in developing and managing successful agricultural programmes across Africa. He graduated with Bachelors degree in Agricultural Economics with First Class Honours from the University of Ife, Nigeria (1981), where he was the first student to be awarded this distinction by the university. He obtained his PhD degree in Agricultural Economics in 1988 from Purdue University, USA, where he won the Outstanding PhD Thesis for his research work.
Until his appointment as the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development in 2011, he was the Vice President, Policy and Partnerships Alliance for Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA). Adesina has held senior leadership positions in some of the foremost agricultural institutions in the world.
He was Principal Economist and Social Science Coordinator for the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture, Ibadan (1995-1998); Principal Economist and Coordinator of the West Africa Rice Economics Task Force at the West Africa Rice Development Association (1990-1995); and Assistant Principal Economist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics. He was Associate Director, Food Security at the Rockefeller Foundation where he was in senior leadership positions from 1998- 2008; Regional Office Director and Representative for Southern Africa.
He has published extensively and served on the Editorial Boards of several leading journals. He was the President of the African Association of Agricultural Economists from 2008-2010. He has received several international awards for his work and leadership in agriculture.
In 2007, he was awarded the prestigious YARA Prize in Oslo, Norway, for his leadership in pioneering innovative approaches for improving farmers' access to agricultural inputs in Africa. He was awarded the Borlaug CAST Award in 2010 by the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology, USA, for his global leadership in agricultural science and technology. He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Purdue University in 2008 and the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Obafemi Awolowo University, in 2009. He was awarded Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters by Franklin and Marshall College, USA, in 2010 for his global leadership on agriculture and improving the lives and livelihoods of the poor.
He was appointed by the United Nations Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon as one of the 17 global leaders to spearhead the Millennium Development Goals. His passion is to use agriculture to end hunger, create wealth and jobs and drive equitable economic growth in Africa to lift millions out of poverty. He brought that passion to Nigeria, while he served as the country's Minister of Agriculture.
Adesina's journey to acclaim started in 1988, when he was awarded a post-doctoral Rockefeller Foundation fellowship, an opportunity that launched a 20-year career in international agricultural development. Along the path, he directed his skill and resource to rural farmers who eke their living from the harsh African soil. In 2007, Adesina launched the Alliance For A Green Revolution in Africa, a daring multi-billion dollar initiative of the Rockefeller and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundations. As Vice President, Adesina leads teams responsible for development of 10,000 rural agro-dealers in 13 African countries; he develops and implements strategies for solving Africa's soil fertility problems and creates programmes to address market, trade, and policy issues.
"A total of 250 million Africans live on less than one-dollar a day," Adesina says. "They have land and labour, but lack the government's support." Challenges appear straightforward linking rural farmers to seed and fertiliser, and supporting their efforts with necessary infrastructure and subsidies. But the path to progress is intricate, requiring presentation of innovative economic development models to African presidents, governments, and donor agencies and, literally, cultivating his country's agriculture programme from the ground up. And even though Adesina frequently brainstorms in lofty company, he credits his wife, Grace, as the inspiration for his best ideas.
Adesina's decision to serve in the administration of former President Jonathan generated a lot of ripples within the country's socio-economic and political circuits. Not a few people believed he would be committing professional and political suicide by joining forces with an administration notorious for its inordinate corruption and assemblage of underachieving technocrats and politicians. Adesina, it was persistently argued, had nothing in common with the caterwauling charlatans binging in government.
But despite the widespread fears and condemnations that trailed his acceptance to work with Jonathan, Adesina has emerged unscathed and seemingly unsullied.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The No. 29 Georgia College Baseball program (19-9, 7-6 PBC) lost their first game at John Kurtz Field this season, falling to the No. 28 Columbus State University Cougars (20-11, 11-5 PBC) Friday evening, 6-5.
The Georgia College offense did not have much of an answer for the Cougar starting pitcher Caleb Kutsche, who tossed a complete game while allowing five earned runs on 10 hits with seven strikeouts. The Cougars racked up six runs on 11 hits.
Three Columbus State home runs put the Bobcats on the wrong side of a 5-0 contest through 4 1/2 innings of play. Georgia College cut their deficit to a three after Garrett Green (Bogart) drove in a pair of runs off a two-RBI single to put the game at 5-2 heading into the sixth. Green had a nice day at the plate going 2-for-4 with two RBIs and a run scored.
The Bobcats kept chipping away in the bottom of the sixth by adding a run off of an RBI single from Wesley Wommack (Monroe), to make it a 5-3 ballgame heading into the seventh.
The 5-3 score carried over into the ninth inning, where Columbus State added a much needed insurance run in the top half of the inning. Senior Brandon Benson (Loganville) smacked a two-run shot in the bottom half of the ninth, but it was not enough to overcome the three-run deficit. Benson leads the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) with 14 home runs on the year.
Pitcher Brady Walsh (Marietta) entered the contest early for the Bobcats and had a great long relief outing to keep the Blue and Green in the ballgame. Walsh entered the game in the third and hurled a total of 6 2/3 innings while allowing only one earned run on four hits while fanning five.
Georgia College looks to even the series at a game apiece when they take on the Cougars in game two of the PBC series Saturday, April 1 at 2 p.m.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Rural Fylde Conservatives are dismayed that Labour have pushed ahead with their Post Office closure plans. A vote in the House of Commons last night narrowly failed to support the Conservatives call for suspension of the closure of 2,500 offices across the country and 12 on the Fylde Coast. Click here to see if you can see if any Fylde Coast Labour MP's voted to keep Fylde Coast Post Offices open?
Commenting, Councillor Simon Renwick said,
"It is a total disgrace, New Labour have turned their back on Fylde, they close our post offices, they starve the council of cash and they let out prisoners early. It is very clear that only the Conservatives can stop Labour, and that's at Town and County Halls and at Westminster. Gordon Brown has failed!"

Pics from my trip to Komodo

Oh the pic of the 8 ft komodo was taken by placing the lens of the digital camera in a hole at the front of the trap.
I think we caught around 15 to 20 dragons while we were there but a lot of them were recaptures. We caught the 8 footer in the same trap twice.
The dragons were not that hard to find. Some of them hang out near the ranger stations. I literally bumped into at least 3 while we were walking to check the traps. Saw one basking on the rocks near the sea on Gili Motang. Saw a huge one which was 9 or 10 feet up on the bank of the dry river and he ran when he saw us coming and hid in this big hole. We tried to lure him out with bait but no luck... he just wouldnt come out.
I guess I managed to hook up with San Diego on this expedition by having the right contacts. Trevor, Im always going on these adventures coz its what I love doing. I do have a regular Joe graphic design job but I do work at a reptile zoo on the side and my passion is in working with reptiles and educating the public (aswell as myself) on these amazing animals. I think my next trip is going to be to go back to India and work with the Crocodile Bank again. Ill have to wait a couple of years for that though.

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
This rang out to me to be true.
Makes me think about all the decisions i've made if i could do them over… Would i? or wouldn't i? Why so?
Some yes and some no! But i wouldn't be me would i?

By Jezza Nepomoceno
ILOILO — Illicit drug users and traffickers in Western Visayas are committing others crimes to sustain the cost of their addiction, according to reports from Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.
"They are diversifying. They rob people of their money and properties. If they lay low, they will venture into prostitution," revealed PDEA Regional Director Paul Ledesma during the Regional Peace and Order Council Meeting held at Casa Real Iloilo .
Drug abuse and illicit trafficking are both social and criminal problems that must be addressed with unified actions from all concerned stakeholders, he added.
PDEA-6 has achieved a milestone in supply and demand reduction of illegal drugs for the past six years.
As a result, Western Visayas (14.87%) ranked 12 in terms of barangay drug affectation in Philippines better than Central Visayas (20.28%) or Davao Region (29.35%).
"Drug affectation here is lesser compared to other regions. But despite that fact, we are not complacent. You can see that in the increase of persons we arrested and the volume of drugs we seized," he said.
Comparing 2010-2013 average and that of 2014-2015 average, there has been 303% increase in operations spearheaded by PDEA-6. The operations increase dramatically from 290 in 2010 to 912 in 2014 and 1,270 in 2015.
The increase in anti-drug operations also led to increase of arrested persons (331%), drug cases filed in court (390%) and seizures (585%).
In 2015 alone, PDEA-6 arrested 2,093 drug personalities, seized P63.3-million worth of illegal drugs, and filed 2,049 cases from 1,270 buy bust operations held.
"We have been doing our best and I am confident we are hitting the right target," he said referring to their operations against high-value drug personalities.
There are three known organized drug groups operating in the region. These are the Odicta and Prevendido Drug Groups based in Iloilo and Aguirre Drug Group based in Capiz.
Meanwhile, RPOC Chairperson Governor Arthur Defensor Sr. emphasized that although statistics are flattering, PDEA and Philippine National Police must not waver in the "war" against illegal drugs.
Defensor then urged the next administration, whether that belongs to the ruling Liberal Party or not, to prioritize the eradication of illegal drugs in the country since it destroys the people's future.
On his part, Police Chief Supt. Bernardo Diaz of Police Regional Office recommended that chief executives must invest in upgrading and expansion of rehabilitation centers for drug addicts in the region.
Adequate facilities for rehabilitation of drug addicts are vital to the success of the multi-sectoral campaign against illegal drugs, he explained.
RPOC is created to recommend measures which will improve or enhance peace and order and public safety in their respective areas of responsibility, including anti-insurgency measures.
It also oversees the convergence and the orchestration of internal security operations efforts of civil authorities and agencies, military and police, among others.

After a weekend of family reunion-ing, sleeping on a different bed, and doing a little kitchen/cleaning work, my body was ACHING by the time we got home yesterday! I'm overweight, I'm a veritable couch-potato, and I am no spring chicken anymore, all of which contributed to my problem.
As I visited with family this weekend, there was discussion of our aches and pains, our abilities and inabilities; and I realized that I was often the youngest one talking about my aches and pains – younger by 8, 10, even 20 years!! And then, one of my nephews (you know who you are!) reminded me that I am one of the "Matriarchs" – one of the oldest generation. Yet, I am probably the youngest of that generation that was there.
I'm saying all of that to say that if I don't make some changes in lifestyle, I will not only be in that generation because of birth order; I will be there because of premature aging and becoming decrepit!!
So this morning, I got off my bottom (tushy, Titus!), got my walking shoes on, and went outside for a good walk! I didn't walk quite a mile, but I will…and more! I know I've got to get these old joints moving, or they won't. I've got to get some of this weight off, too. I had determination this morning, and I'm asking the Lord for determination tomorrow, and the next day, and so on. I know I'll never do it on my own!!
So, I'm hoping that next year, after the last table is put away, and the last dish washed, and the car loaded up for home, I will NOT be complaining of stiff and aching joints, but will be ready and able to UNLOAD when I get home!!
God bless your day – He surely has mine!

This post appeared today on The Write Stuff, the blog of Write Angle — Silicon Valley's premiere writing and content creation service for IT and high-technology industry.
"Content" is a perishable. Blame those pesky algorithms.
We live in content-marketing world. And at Write Angle we counsel clients to be wary. Why? Because marketers live in a part of this world characterized by the cat-and-mouse of search practitioners vs.search algorithms — and the creative tension it causes between SEO gurus and content writers. Just throwing "content" out there isn't enough. It has to be be right stuff at the right time. Above all, it must stay fresh.
The surefire way to prosper in this world is to create and publish material that earns you a consistent place in search rankings. Today, this means the top three-to-five. Easy to say, tough to do. And this is where we come in because organic search is the baseline tactic for the written content of marketing campaigns.
New research from Chitika , according to Danny Flamberg of Booster Rocket, based on 300 million search impressions last May, "indicates that winning and losing at natural search is clear; you either win big or die quickly. If you don't place among the top 3–5 positions on the search engine results page you get none of the benefits of your investment. It's win big or go home". (Download the complete report here.)
Boiling down the findings: you get 33% of the traffic if Google ranks you number one. Come in second and you get about half of that. Third place earns you about half again (11%). This, BTW, is the response rate of old-time direct mail!
In other words, if you don't make page one (92% of all traffic) the maximum access you can hope to achieve is about 8% of total search-driven traffic.
"For most marketers, rankings drive traffic; that's the payoff," Flamberg says. "There's not much value in bragging rights to a position that doesn't pay off in site traffic…it doesn't pay to be number two."
As content-driven rankings are key to brand awareness and lead generation, you need to put your brand's best foot forward with refreshed content — the kind that's regularly adjusted to changing algorithms.
Is your content driving the traffic you want? Do you keep it fresh? Is it the right stuff at the right time?
When he's not ranting on this site, Stan DeVaughn holds forth on The Write Stuff along with Write Angle co-hort Peter Davé.


text: Early Grades For Boston Red Sox' Starting Rotation and Bullpen By Jacob Kornhauser PREV NEXT Early Grades For Boston Red Sox' Starting Rotation and Bullpen Getty Images The defending World Series champions have gotten off to a lukewarm start this season and their pitching staff has been indicative of that. They've been up and down so far, sometimes turning in great performances, sometimes totally flopping. Whatever the case may be, here are the grades for the rotation and the bullpen so far this season. Jon Lester - B+ Getty Images Jon Lester - B+ Getty Images Record: 2-2 2.17 ERA 1.034 WHIP 29:4 K:BB Lester has been in a groove to start this season. When he's getting hit, he's getting hit hard, but he's also not getting hit very often. His K:BB is off the charts and he's well on his way to another great season. John Lackey - B Getty Images John Lackey - B Getty Images Record: 2-1 3.86 ERA 1.125 WHIP 17:3 K:BB Lackey has been more effective this season than in years past, but his ERA is still looking like it's going to be more toward 5.00 by season's end. His control on his repertoire of pitches is encouraging, but he will have to stay consistent throughout the entire season to convince people he's back to old form. Jake Peavy - A- Getty Images Jake Peavy - A- Getty Images Record: 0-0 1.93 ERA 1.179 WHIP 20:10 K:BB Peavy has been great since changing sock colors last trade deadline, although he's putting a lot of runners on base, which could balloon that ERA in the long run. If he can stay off the DL, he will be a solid contributor all year long. Felix Doubront - D+ Getty Images Felix Doubront - D+ Getty Images Record: 1-2 6.75 ERA 1.773 WHIP 8:7 K:BB Doubront was really promising at the beginning of last season, but he finished the season very poorly and has started this season even worse. His nearly 7.00 ERA is concerning enough, but he's also walking nearly as many guys as he's striking out. If he doesn't figure something out soon, Chris Capuano could be replacing him in the rotation. Clay Buchholz - C Getty Images Clay Buchholz - C Getty Images Record: 0-1 5.51 ERA 1.714 WHIP 15:2 K:BB Buchholz was lights-out last season before he got injured. After missing months of the season, he was never the same and it seems like that setback has extended into 2014. The righty has struggled so far this season, but he should get plenty of chances since the team knows the potential he has. Bullpen - A+ Getty Images Bullpen - A+ Getty Images The back end of Boston's bullpen has been unhittable this season. In fact, they've been the best bullpen in baseball through the first two-plus weeks of the season. Junichi Tazawa and Koji Uehara have combined to pitch 13.1 innings this season and haven't allowed a single run. Production like that out of the bullpen is a good sign for the club going forward.

[deleted post]Can suport hindi ?
Hi my hands are small. I am presently using 4.7 inch mobile with 125 grams which looks good on hand. But 5.5 inch will be big for my hand and the weight of this phone is 170 grams. Can you comment on the handling phone with this weight and carrying?
France tomorrow night 17:00 CET the Zenfone 2 range will be officially launched from Paris - with prices and availability :-)
AnonD-365057, 28 Mar 2015First Lenovo a7000 will be launched in India price around 12k then lenovo P70 will be launched... more, k3 note would cost around 11000. Dont compare with htc 820 or any top brand pricing. . For the launch price (25000) of htc 820 ,now a days you can get full hd phones ewual to the specs of flagships brands from chinese brands.
I belive that best thing that they can do is to make 2.3Ghz with 4gb ram,in 16 gb version,because more memory means biger price.They can make also version of 64 gb for those who want more memory.So if they put 16 gb version that version will be cheaper than 64Gb.Small price will make this phone best buying choice.There is SDcard,so memory can be expanded.I belive that they must do it on that two versions not only 64 that will be best option for them and us.
when it will be launched in Bangladesh ??? plz inform anyone guys. i am waiting for it since January . I left my previous phone to buy it. and now i have no phone in my hands . its disappointing.

AnonD-43988, 29 Mar 2015Yes.... quite sure. If anything, prices could only be lower, not higher. However, all these... moreNo they could be higher but a Max of 21000
vivek salokhe, 29 Mar 2015are you shure about the prices and modelsYes.... quite sure. If anything, prices could only be lower, not higher.
However, all these models won't be released. I am guessing maybe three of them, with at least one with 4GB RAM.

The Vancouver Giants are WHL champions after a convincing 6-3 win over the Moose Jaw Warriors last night. The Giants swept the series, the series before that, and finished their postseason with an amazing 16-2 record. They will make the trip to Moncton, NB to represent the west in the 2006 Memorial Cup.
Gilbert Brule, the Columbus Blue Jackets draft pick who led all skaters in the postseason with 30 points in 18 games and was named series MVP:
"This is the best thing that's ever happened to me so far -- that includes getting drafted and starting the year in the NHL"Dustin Slade, who recorded six shutouts in 16 wins:
"This is so sweet. I can't thank everyone enough for taking a chance on me and giving me this opportunity. I've never been closer than I am with these guys. I'm just so happy -- for myself, for my teammates, for the organization as a whole and for the city."And Mark Fistric, the Giants' first-ever bantam draft pick:
"This is so great -- I'm so happy for everyone. From like three wins the team's first year to two losses in the playoffs and a league championship this year -- I'm speechless. We're a family here and I just want to say it's been great to be a part of such a great group of guys."The 2006 Memorial Cup starts on Friday, May 19th.

The o2 Academy in Brixton was filled with the smell of damp, beer, and sweat. Throngs of rain-drenched gig goers filled the venue, bristling with excitement, nostalgia, and impatience for Blink 182 to appear. No one wants to wait an extra thirty minutes for the headlining band to take the stage, but all annoyance was forgotten as soon as Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker stepped out into the spotlight.
