The following resource list is a companion piece to SEM Student News Volume 10, on the intersections of Diaspora and Music. It expands upon the newsletter's resource list to include a wider variety of publications within the fields of ethnomusicology and diaspora studies. In recent decades, diaspora studies have become increasingly expansive, coinciding with the broadening of the term's definition and application. While in the early twentieth century diaspora referred to dispersed populations in forced exile (frequently in reference to a limited number of group's experiences), in the 1990s the term's use grew immensely. Now diaspora commonly refers to the dispersion/displacement experiences of many different peoples—forced or voluntary, multiple- or single-generational, permanent or temporary—with a perceived homeland.
This resource list features literature that reflects the broad and varied theoretical approaches scholars have used in diaspora studies over the last thirty years. The first section is dedicated to music-centered works, while the second addresses diaspora in general. The categories represented are flexible and often overlap; however, we attempt to respect the authors definition of the diaspora they discuss. Please see the table of contents to conveniently navigate the varied sources.
This effort is by no means exhaustive and omissions are inevitable. Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding publications that have been overlooked, are new, or forthcoming. We also welcome suggestions for online resources, communities, blogs, institutions, societies, and conference websites. Please direct all comments, questions, and suggested additions to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Reports are periodic posts about the numbers driving the Utah real estate economy.
Job losses in Utah have been widespread, with all major counties experiencing employment declines. In terms of percent change Wasatch County has sustained the greatest loss among major counties, while Tooele has fared quite well, Table 1. In Wasatch County employment is down 10.7 percent in the past year, while Tooele County's decline is only one-tenth of one percent. Of course Salt Lake County leads in total number of jobs lost with a nearly 31,000 decline over the past 12 month period.
We are beginning to see signs that the Utah economy is beginning to stabilize; monthly losses in employment are shrinking, unemployment claims are dropping, and permits for new homes are up. At the national level the stock market had an incredible year in 2009, the Christmas retail season was better than expected, and housing prices have managed slight increases in many urban areas. It still appears, however, too early to call it bottom for the commercial real estate sector, nationally or locally.
The aim of this working paper published by HUD is to document key empirical facts on U.S. rental housing market conditions – reporting both current conditions (as of second quarter 2009) as well as notable historic trends.
By Bob Springmeyer
In November the Revenue Assumption Committee released projections of Utah's major economic indicators, Table 1. These projections show that by 2011 the number of jobs in the Utah economy will increase by about 20,000. Welcome news after two years of serious decline. If the national economy is through shedding jobs, as the recently released November employment numbers suggest, a turnaround for the Utah economy should be on track for 2011.
Commercial Real Estate Mired in Quicksand despite Signs of Economic Recovery
The third quarter of 2009 brought signs of relief to a U.S. economy fighting to emerge from what has been coined the Great Recession. Most measures of economic activity moved in upward trends—gross domestic product turned positive after four quarters of decline; industrial production gained; stock market indices have been surging.
Utah's employment conditions remain very weak, particularly given Utah's historic position as a high growth state. Employment over the past year has declined by more than 51,000 jobs and the Utah Department of Workforce Services is projecting the state will lose close to 55,000 jobs in 2009.
After more than a year spent in suspended animation lagging already shattered housing markets, the commercial real estate industry hits bottom in 2010, suffering a surge of painful writedowns, defaults, and workouts. Massive government infusions finally build up loss reserves in financial institutions to levels allowing them to foreclose or strike deals with many overleveraged borrowers.

Wow, this past week your feet truly haven't touched the ground! I am so happy that you had such a grand time with the girls, and happy that my little gifts arrived safely - thank you so much for being Santa Claus for me!ReplyDelete
It is so special that you are able to get together like this, I am hoping to see more of friends this holiday, my job entails long hours and most days I leave home early, get back quite late, cook dinner for the kids, clean up and then back to working on the computer. So now school is closed for 2 whole weeks and I really want to make the most of the time with family and friends.
I hope you have a wonderful week with your family, I am sure you will treasure every single moment.
What a wonderful, wonderful time! Love your own wrist warmers. Great idea! Merry Christmas! Enjoy your family.♥ReplyDelete
Your tree looks so pretty, Betsy, and ready to welcome your son and his family on Tuesday! We are enjoying the festive seagull. I have hung up the seashell necklace so that I can enjoy seeing it when not wearing it. The pretty blue yarn will remind me of warm tropical seas as I use it. Thanks so much for all of these lovely gifts that remind me of our dear friendship as we celebrate the birth of our Loving Savior and Lord. xxReplyDelete

Great color, too. So glad you are getting to see son and grandchildren. I know you will all have a wonderful time together. Merry Christmas to you and your family sweet friend. :)ReplyDelete
Hello, Hope you are having a wonderful December and will have a blessed Christmas… This is such a joyful time of year for so many—but it's also the time when others experience a deep loneliness, and struggle during the holidays for many reasons. SO—today I ask you to stop what you are doing for a few minutes and say a prayer for someone you know who might be experiencing a hard time now… OR—better still, send them a card or give them a call. It will mean the world to them.ReplyDelete
Great post, Betsy... Your trip with friends had to have been MARVELOUS. Are all of these blog friends you didn't know before you started blogging? Some of my blog friends have turned out to be my 'besties'.... SO Special!
Glad you made it to the lake --and glad that some of your family will be with your for Christmas. Love your mittens... The color is fabulous!
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Loved your post and it was great to see you again. Thanks for the gifts. I have the seagull sitting by my Christmas M&M box and they are so cute! I will take a picture of it and send it to you! Have a good time with son and grandchildren! So glad you made it home safely and enjoyed the lake! I'm sure you feel more relaxed since there's no more flying around anywhere. Merry Christmas and hugs to you, my sister in Jesus!!!ReplyDelete
What a joy to be able to meet up with your blog-friends! I love to read about your get-togethers.ReplyDelete
Those mitts are lovely and such a pretty colour.
A very merry Christmas to you and yours, and yes, it's NOT a myth! :)
Betsy I am so glad you had a wonderful time together, you all look so, so happy to be sharing special time with each other. Your gifts to each other are wonderful, and you gift to me was too. I treasure it so much. Thanks you from the bottom of my heart.ReplyDelete
wishing you and your family the very best Holiday Season,
Ah--New Seasons. Love it too! That is awesome that all of you gals could get together before Christmas---and that there were no icky spiders! Wishing you God's blessings at this special time of year. May our lives show His love to those around us always.ReplyDelete
Advent Blessings,
PS: Love the look on Chloe's face:)
What a treat!!! You are all such wonderful ladies! I love that you were all able to get together! :)ReplyDelete

Age : 13y
Status : Adopted
This poor boy has been abandoned at the shelter at the tender age of 12 years old. He was in a pen with many other puppies who were trampling over him and running around him - poor Horace just watched in desperation. We have now moved Horace to private kennels which is by no means ideal as he is still behind bars, but he gets more attention from the volunteers now which is what he craves.
Horace is hoping for his forever home. He would love to be able to put this tramatic experience behind him and enjoy the rest of his senior years with people who love him. Could you give him this chance?
Are you interested in adopting or fostering Horace? Thats fantastic! Please fill in the contact form below, adding your mobile number if possible. We will set up a Whatsapp chat and contact you.
Can't commit to adopting or fostering but would really like to help Horace? Sponsoring is a great way to ensure the continued health & happiness of any of our dogs, and ensures they can stay in private kennels where their quality of life is greatly improved until we can find them a home. If you would like to sponsor Horace please fill in the form below and we will get back to you.
Please let us know if you would like some more information on Horace before proceeding by contacting us on or by filling in the form below.

Hawks clip the Mustangs

IOWA PARK — After so much promise during its 1-2 start, Sweetwater traveled to Iowa Park with hopes of a huge road win to wrap up non-district play Friday.
It didn't happen.
Iowa Park scored on each one of its seven first-half possessions while shutting down Sweetwater's offense as the Hawks won, 46-0, in a game that ended at halftime due to lightning and some stormy weather in the area.

My wonderful mother-in-law Jennie passed away over 20 years ago. Today I uncovered an article she sent me with a handwritten note stating she had been given this material "some time ago." I am guessing this advice was written almost 30 years ago --- It could have been written yesterday, except the stress-ors have greatly increased.
|and less stress!
Lisa, aged 8, just put in an 11 hour day: school, followed by soccer practice, followed by a piano lesson. It is almost her bedtime but Lisa has to review her spelling words. Instead of cooperating as she normally does, Lisa is alternately sobbing and shrieking. Her parents are genuinely shocked at her behavior.
The introduction:
In our hectic world it is unreasonable to expect a stress-free life. It is impossible. Yet, too often, too many people consider excessive stress as an adults-only problem. Not so, says Dan Kaercher, the article's author.
"The increasing incidence of stress symptoms in children indicates otherwise.
The adolescent suicide rate, for instance, has tripled since the mid-'50s.
Youngsters need guidance to make stress work for them not against them."
Gail's note: Remember, this article was written in the early '80s; as your read and absorb his points consider how far we have
Why kids get over-stressed:
Not only do children have to cope with all the uncertainties and growing pains their parents faced, they have the following as well . . .
- Pressure to achieve - Children are pushed to excel in school, in athletics, and socially at ever-younger ages.*
- Over-programming - Soccer, tennis, ballet lessons, computer classes. No matter how worthwhile the activities are singly, the cumulative effect can be disastrous.
- Floundering families - There are more divorces and single-parent families than ever before, placing a heavy burden on overextended parents and their children.
- Changing values - Youngsters today face tough choices about drugs, smoking, drinking, and sex much earlier than their parents did.
- Other worries - Fears about nuclear war and the economy take their toll on kids, just as they do on adults.
Watch for stress symptoms:
How well a child handles stress depends largely on his or her age, temperament, emotional well-being, and coping skills. Even in the same family each child is different. Too much stress usually triggers behavioral changes.
In younger children - symptoms can include bed-wetting, compulsive crying, hair-pulling, and nightmares. They may become uncharacteristically dependent or demanding.
In older children - the symptoms are more subtle and can include excessive TV-viewing, overeating, difficulty concentrating, and chronic sleepiness or it's opposite, insomnia. Also, vague physical complaints--headaches and stomachaches unrelated to any illnesses.
In Friday's post I will continue with suggestions from Kaercher's article . . .
. . . to help your child cope with stress.

Ghost Buster Dies
I used to wonder at my older relatives custom of reaching for the obituary section before examining the rest of the daily newspaper. But I find that the older I get, the more frequently I check the obituary page. So far, I'm not checking the obits the minute the newspaper hits the front lawn. Once in a while, however, that section of the daily paper holds something of interest, even if I didn't personally know the departed one.
Probably because I grew up watching Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone and definitely because I've read so many of Stephen King's novels, I've been curious about the paranormal most of my life. Therefore, a recent obituary title in the Washington Post caught my eye: Psychology Expert Robert Baker; Unmasked Ghostly Apparitions, excerpted below:
"Robert A. Baker, 84, a University of Kentucky psychology professor emeritus and a leading ghost buster' who worked on the premise that 'there are no haunted places, only haunted people,' died Aug. 8 at his home in Lexington. He had congestive heart failure.My one adventure with investigating a haunting was marginally more exciting than a wailing rock. When I was barely a teenager, my mother, grandmother, and I paid a summer visit to relatives living on the outskirts of Chattanooga, Tennessee. After several days of doing the usual things, my same-age cousin and I decided to become Nancy Drew types and solve a case. Having heard about the deserted shack up one of the nearby pig trails, late one night my cousin and I grabbed flashlights, sneaked out, and did a little ghost-busting of our own. Disappointment! What we found was a stash of glass jugs--a sort of storage unit for a moonshine operation. My cousin and I hurried out of there. We might have been young and foolish, but we knew what was good for us--and what wasn't. I was a grown woman before I shared that little story with my mother, who told me that I should have known better than to go exploring at night in moonshine territory.
"Dr. Baker was foremost a skeptic, believing that one could not assume from the start that unusual phenomena -- ghosts, UFO abductions, lake monsters, remembrances of past lives -- were real. In books and scholarly articles, he argued that they could be explained as mental states, that abductions by aliens, for example, were hallucinations -- or 'waking dreams' -- that occur in the twilight zone between fully awake and fully asleep....
"Dr. Baker worked more than 60 cases, volunteering his time to visit those who called the university's psychology department or found him through his writings and reputation.
"He often worked with [former Pinkerton detective] Joe Nickell, a senior research fellow at the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal, a group based in Amherst, N.Y., whose members have included Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov and B.F. Skinner....
"As a young man, he also grew disillusioned with ghosts after two acquaintances tracked down mysterious moans in a cave, reputedly haunted. A cracked boulder had been transforming gusts of wind into an eerie noise."
Returning now to Dr. Baker's obituary:
"During World War II, he was an Army Air Forces cryptographer, and he began reading hungrily about human psychology during those years. 'I resolved that the only thing that could save man from himself was a fully developed science of human behavior,' he wrote.He died on his wedding anniversary? Is that creepy, or what? Cue the theme music from The Twilight Zone.
"He graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1948 and the next year received a master's degree in psychology there. He received a doctorate in psychology from Stanford University in 1951.
"He then became a staff scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory, which conducted military research. In 1953, he joined the Human Resources Research Office at Fort Knox, where his work included finding ways to improve soldiers' alertness during guard duty.
"At Fort Knox, he also worked as an assistant at mental hospitals and began hunting ghosts. In 1969, after budget cuts there, he left for the University of Kentucky. He spent the first four years as psychology department chairman. He retired in 1988....
"He died on the 52nd anniversary of his marriage to Rose Paalz 'Dolly' Baker, who survives, along with six children and seven grandchildren."
Dr. Baker was also a prolific writer. Among his many books are Missing Pieces: How to Investigate Ghosts, UFOs, Psychics & Other Mysteries (1992); They Call It Hypnosis (1990), in which he criticized the validity of that technique; and Hidden Memories: Voices and Visions From Within (1992);and Mind Games (1996), in which he questioned the overruse of various psychotropic medications; he also edited Child Sexual Abuse and False Memory Syndrome (1998). I see some interesting books on that list. Maybe the public library has some of the titles.
One day, I hope to have a great collection of obits. Before retiring from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, my stepfather-in-law treated many celebrities in their final days. When one of his patients passed on, he saved the Los Angeles Times obituary of each of his famous patients, who included Lucille Ball*, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Marlon Brando, and others whom I can't think of right now. The file is fat, with lots to explore.
My stepfather-in-law has intimated to me that I can have his unique collection. What a treasure! I can add his collection to my stash of related items: letters I received from Thomas Harris, author of The Silence of the Lambs, and Red Skelton, just to name two. I'll need to visit and photograph all those dead celebrities' graves to make the collection complete, however.
I really don't expect to hear from any of those dead celebrities because I believe that Robert Baker made the case for doubting the paranormal. Still, the paranormal remains a fascinating subject. The universe is filled with many mysteries, even if Robert Baker, like Harry Houdini before him, debunked paranormal happenings.
And I hope that after I get that collecion from my father-in-law, I'm not one of those whom Dr. Baker termed "haunted people." I'm almost certain that I'll be safe. Almost.
*Hat Tip to Gindy, who reminded me the other day of Lucille Ball.

For most borrowers, the VA loan represents the best available option for a home refinance or purchase. The terms of the loan, the minimal requirements and guidelines and especially the no money down option make the VA loan the perfect choice for almost every military borrower. The whole premise behind the loan program is to nearly guarantee that a veteran of the military or a surviving spouse have the availability to purchase a home. There is really no other alternative if you qualify for some type of VA financing.
One Scenario When VA Financing is not the Best Option
The only scenario out there for veterans and surviving spouses who want to choose a conventional loan over VA financing is cash reserves. If the veteran or spouse has more than enough reserves to cover the 20 percent down payment requirement, then it is possible to obtain a lower rate than you would get from the VA. However, it is still probably not the correct alternative to VA financing. The borrower can hang on to their cash reserves, still receive a low interest rate and use the reserves to maintain their new home. The benefits from VA financing are far greater than any type of conventional financing. That is why military borrowers should always consider going the VA for any type of home purchase or refinance.
Finding Help With MortgageDepot
If you still feel like exploring other options aside from the VA, then MortgageDepot can help. We are a well-respected team of mortgage experts that guide you through the entire process.

Concrete Saw
Using a concrete saw in construction
Concrete is an incredibly hard material, and difficult, but not impossible, to cut. A concrete saw is powered by gasoline, hydraulics, pneumatic pressure or an electric motor to slash through brick, asphalt, tile and concrete to create even and straight edges for indoor or outdoor tile, as well as driveways and roadways.
This saw, sometimes referred to as a concrete wet saw, uses special abrasive or diamond-tipped concrete saw blades that are cooled by water to ensure their durability. Concrete saws can either be handheld or walk-behind, depending on the amount of cutting required and the depth of the concrete or tile in question. Applications for a concrete saw include laying out or repairing brick structures, patio tiles or granite countertops. Concrete tools are used for construction and repair as well as demolitions or modifications.
Using a Concrete Saw
The concrete saw isn't typically found in the hands of the average do-it-yourselfer. Instead, it's most often employed by construction contractors who use it for a variety of commercial purposes, including road or sidewalk building and repair. Landscape companies may use a concrete saw to create patios or walkways for commercial businesses or private home owners.
There are a number of different kinds of concrete saw, and their use really depends on the nature of the job at hand. Many of these unique varieties are designed to cut in specific ways and through specific materials, so if you are in the market for a new concrete saw, it's important that you make sure the one you want can perform the task. For really thick stone or concrete, an operator may choose a concrete saw powered by hydraulics over an electric- or gasoline-powered model, because it is capable of cutting denser material more effectively.
Concrete Saw Safety
Unlike a table saw or cordless drill, the concrete chain saw and the concrete hole saw are not your everyday power tools. As such, it's an extremely tricky and sometimes dangerous device that should be approached with caution. Operators need to make sure they're using the right concrete saw for the job, and should read up on operating procedures and safety procedures. For those who have minimal experience with a concrete saw, using the slightly less-powerful gasoline or electric version is highly recommended.

Dusseldorf, Germany. November 16h, 2015- 1,500 business meetings in a three-day marathon – that's what's in store for Israeli companies taking part in two international conferences in Dusseldorf, Germany, MEDICA and COMPAMED. The Israeli Ministry of Economy's trade representatives around the world helped organize the companies' participation and coordinated the meetings, with assistance from the Israeli Export Institute. The Israeli companies will present the "next generation" of medical equipment in both expos and will also hold meetings with leading companies and medical equipment distributors from Europe and around the globe.
For the first time, the Israeli Ministry of Economy and the Israel Export Institute have also established a national booth at the COMPAMED expo, which focuses on subcontracting in the medical equipment industry, in addition to the booth at the MEDICA expo, the world's largest and most important exhibition of medical equipment.
MEDICA opened on Monday and will be visited by around 150,000 people from some 100 countries.
This year, the Israeli national booths will host ten new companies alongside veterans of the exhibition. In addition, three Israeli apps (iFeel Labs, MobileODT and Doctome) made the finals of an international competition for advanced medical apps as part of MEDICA.
All Israeli companies featured in the national booths will present a variety of innovations, presenting technological solutions in the field of life sciences in general and medical equipment in particular, including novel techniques in diagnostics, equipment for hospitals and clinics, therapeutic devices and more.
According to the Foreign Trade Administration in the Israeli Ministry of Economy, more than 200 foreign companies and other entities from around the world have already booked meetings with Israeli companies via their trade representatives in order to get firsthand impressions of the technology and to examine possibilities for cooperation. The overall number of meetings is some 1,500.
Ohad Cohen, Head of the Foreign Trade Administration at the Israeli Ministry of Economy, said: "The activity of our network of trade representatives around the globe at flagship expos like MEDICA contributes to the growth of exports by the Israeli companies taking part. Our marketing is based primarily on Israeli innovation – with a special effort towards increasing the exposure of expo visitors to the wide array of Israeli innovations. This year, these innovations will be presented on an exceptionally grand stage – two national booths and beyond. We expect to see significant growth in foreign representatives seeking to get acquainted with these Israeli companies, with an emphasis on innovations in the fields of preventative medicine and tele-medicine – which gives long distance patients access to medical care, especially in developing countries. In addition, we see growing interest from companies from Southeast Asia looking for technological solutions and innovations like those coming from Israel".
Ofer Sachs, Director General of the Israel Export Institute, said: "The field of medical equipment is estimated at $308 billion globally and is expected to grow to $435 billion by 2017. This is one of the markets experiencing the most rapid growth and transformation in recent years. Medical equipment exports are on the rise. As the global population ages, the demand for technologies like long-distance monitoring and those improving quality of life is growing. Israeli companies, known for their flexibility and innovation, understood that this is the next big trend and have developed suitable technologies, which they will be presenting in this year's expo. MEDICA is an excellent business platform for Israeli companies to showcase their strengths and I believe they will derive much success from this event".
The Israeli life sciences industry is renowned for its innovation and creativity, with over 500 exporters in the fields of computerization and medical equipment, tele-medicine and biotech R&D. The companies' combined exports are in the hundreds of millions of dollars. As part of the collaboration between the Foreign Trade Administration's network of trade representatives and the Israel Export Institute, last year, 1,100 top level business meetings were arranged for Israeli companies at the Israeli MEDICA booth. Many of those led to significant ties abroad for Israeli companies.
The Foreign Trade Administration runs a website which includes the profiles of Israeli companies participating in the MEDICA expo according to their fields of expertise. The website also has a page for setting up appointments with these companies. It is promoted in different countries by the trade representatives of the Israeli Ministry of Economy in order to maximize exposure for Israeli companies participating in the national MEDICA booth.
Two innovative Companies Participating:
The three Israeli apps that have already made the world medical equipment top 10 list:

Professional boxingEdit
The light welterweight class (also called junior welterweight or super lightweight) is a weight division in professional boxing that has a limit of 63.5 kg or 140 pounds. The first champion of this weight class was Pinky Mitchell in 1926, though he was only awarded his championship by a vote of the readers of the Boxing Blade magazine.
There was not widespread acceptance of this new weight division in its early years, and the New York State Athletic Commission withdrew recognition of it in 1930. The National Boxing Association continued to recognize it until its champion, Barney Ross relinquished the title in 1935 to concentrate on regaining the welterweight championship.
A few commissions recognized bouts in the 1940s as being for the light welterweight title, but the modern beginnings of this championship date from 1959 when Carlos Ortiz won the vacant title with a victory over Kenny Lane. Both the WBA and WBC recognized the same champions until 1967, when the WBC stripped Paul Fuji of the title and matched Pedro Adigue and Adolph Pruitt for their version of the championship. Adigue won a fifteen round decision. The International Boxing Federation recognized Aaron Pryor as its first champion in 1984.
Julio César Chávez holds the division record for the most consecutive title defenses with 12. He also defended the title an additional 4 times after regaining it.[1]
Amateur boxingEdit
In amateur boxing, the light welterweight division is a weight class division for fighters weighing up to 64 kilograms. For the 1952 Summer Olympics, the division was created when the span from 54–67 kg was changed from three weight classes (featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight) to four. Perhaps the most famous amateur light welterweight champion is Sugar Ray Leonard, who went on to an impressive professional career.[2]

Three cheers for the collective efforts of everyone involved in making the plastic issue so big and problematic that governments and businesses simply had to react. We are seeing plastic bag bans being rolled out around the globe, companies removing microbeads from their products, and traditional plastic straws being replaced with more sustainable alternatives.
So, while the war on plastic rumbles on, I started thinking, 'What's next?'.
From what I can see in the newspapers, across various blogs, and throughout my professional network, there is a growing discussion on the topic of food waste. How do we reduce it? How do we make something positive from it? How do we teach people to shop more efficiently? How do we get restaurants and caterers to waste less? How do we put food waste in the public eye in the same way that plastic is? There are a lot of questions being asked, it seems.
Firstly, it doesn't float in the ocean
It gets buried under the ground, or it gets burned or anaerobically digested for energy (the latter options are preferable for the sustainability-minded). The visual challenge of food waste is a lot trickier because if a seagull or a turtle eats food waste, they're more likely to be nourished than to die (as is sometimes the case with plastic). Food waste is not floating on the oceans, it is not often considered litter, and it is mostly made of things that can be planted, grown, and made over and over. Knowing that food waste is different, how do we wage war on it?
The methods used to create a public vendetta against unnecessary plastics might not be so effective when used on food.
Fight fire with facts
I think if we are going to make people, businesses, governments, changemakers, policymakers, influencers, nations, and communities all address the food waste problem, we're going to have to shock them into submission through hard data and facts. Here are a few of my favourites.
- The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) revealed back in 2013 that we have been wasting a collective 1.3 billion tonnes of food per year. This figure has grown to 1.4 billion tonnes since and is predicted to grow to 2.1 billion tonnes by 2030.
- 1.4 billion tonnes of food is not only huge, but it's considered to be enough to comfortably feed 2 billion people per year, almost a quarter of Earth's population.
- This 1.4 billion tonnes of food waste is actually representative of one-third of the total global food supply. You read that correctly, one-third of all food on Earth is wasted.
- "In a world of 7 billion people, set to grow to 9 billion by 2050, wasting food makes no sense – economically, environmentally, and ethically," said Achim Steiner, U.N. Environment Program Executive Director. Achim, I'm completelywith you on that one!
- Food waste releases a large amount of greenhouse gas, an estimated 3.3 billion tonnes per year. This gas then affects the atmosphere, climate change, and growing conditions around the planet. Agriculture suffers, as bad crops and harvests, droughts, and more, increase the instances of food loss, where communities cannot get enough food in the first place, let alone waste it.
- "We simply cannot allow one-third of all the food we produce to go to waste or be lost because of inappropriate practices, when 870 million people go hungry every day" FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva stated.
Who is going to take responsibility for food waste in 2019?
Food waste is a shared responsibility between the producer and the consumer. Whilst you may believe that most food waste is down to consumers buying more than they need and thus wasting food, this is a misconception.
Read this extract from the FAO:
Fifty-four percent of the world's food wastage occurs "upstream" during production, post-harvest handling and storage, according to FAO's study. Forty-six percent of it happens "downstream," at the processing, distribution and consumption stages.
As a general trend, developing countries suffer more food losses during agricultural production, while food waste at the retail and consumer level tends to be higher in middle- and high-income regions — where it accounts for 31-39% of total wastage — than in low-income regions (4-16%).
We are all responsible to some extent, but what can we do about it?
The FAO suggests three methods to implement immediately:
The first is to reduce food wastage in the production stage by improving farming practices, balancing production and demand, and not producing food that is not needed.
The second is to reuse food in the human food chain when we have a surplus (a common cause for waste), by means such as donation, animal feed, or conservation.
The third method is recycling and recovery, which as I mentioned earlier consists of anaerobic digestion and incineration. What I didn't mention was home composting, which is a very good way to make your food waste into something positive. I also didn't mention by-product recycling, which involves taking certain wastes that are created during the manufacturing stage and using them for good (for example, rice husks can be used to create energy).
The water problem
One of the reasons why I think 2019 will be a big year for food waste is because of 'Day Zero'. Day Zero is the day when a city's water supply runs out, and it almost happened in 2018 in my native South Africa. Cape Town was on the verge of running out of water, and while it was saved at the 12th hour, the crisis is far from over.
Food takes an incredible amount of water to produce. Just one loaf of bread requires 100 buckets of water, one chicken breast is equivalent to 54 buckets of water, and even a single potato takes 6 buckets of water. The two problems go hand in hand, and so each time we see a water crisis, it will be linked to food, and each time we see a food crisis, it will be linked to water.
Perhaps the key to food waste lays in its relationship with water. Perhaps we need to farm more efficiently, using vertical farms or with greater application of technology. Perhaps there is a visual argument to be made with food waste, but will it be effective unless a world-class spokesperson (like Sir David Attenborough) gets behind it? Perhaps the way to get the public to engage with the food waste problem is to show them all of the knock-on effects, the hard data, and what a world without an easy supply of water might look like.
In 2019, perhaps we will see all of the above. Perhaps we won't see any.

He has mastered a way of seeing that almost makes you feel as if you have been transcended into another stratosphere of the mind, where seeing is not believing but feeling. Something subliminally strange, inexplicably wondrous happens. Almost as if you have been lured into a state and space of grace.
He is a veritable "visual explorer" whose constant quest is to capture unique moments in time. His photographs are imbued with a virtual mystical quality, poetry and grace and we have the impression that they been 'carved out of light' by the precision of the artist's eye.
Bruno Aveillan's highly sophisticated filmic style has been internationally acclaimed for its cinematography, the power of its direction and its poetic intensity. Simultaneously, Bruno Aveillan has developed a personal artistic path that includes photography, experimental films and installations.

The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers, Digital Edition > My Day
NEW YORK, FRIDAY—I went yesterday to the luncheon given to the French Ambassador and the officials who arrived with the Train of Gratitude from France. They all were deeply moved by the enthusiasm shown along their march, particularly the welcome given by the children. Since the children of France received with such gratitude the Friendship Train which Drew Pearson originated and accompanied to Europe, it was fitting that there should be special thought given to America's children on this returning train.
The speeches at the lunch were brief, for the guests were a little late in reaching the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, but there was great good feeling in the room, and I cannot think of a gesture which could have been made by the French people which would do more to draw together the people of the United States and the people of France.
One of the organizers of the idea in France told me a charming story of a little orphan girl who dressed a doll most beautifully and then found there was no money for the doll's wig and as she had pretty curls, she cut them off to make the doll's hair.
There are representatives of labor, of industry, of the government and of the veterans of the war accompanying the train, and I feel sure that the results will be to spread and to revitalize the traditional friendships between our two peoples.
The papers have been full of Mr. Stalin's answers to one of our newspaper correspondent's questions, but I can't see that he said very much more than he has said in the past. I never remember a statement from Marshal Stalin in which he did not say that he wanted peace, that he thought we should do some more talking, and that his doctors would not allow him to leave his own country.
That last statement always interests me, since if you passionately want to achieve an objective, it seems to me that you take risks, and make sacrifices. That I think would be the feeling of any American soldier or statesman. My husband always said that one of the best places he knew for international meetings was the Azores! You do not have to fly over any mountains and the trip could be made easily.
This meeting should not be a meeting just between the United States and the USSR. It should be a meeting of the representatives of the five great powers and the first thing on the agenda should be the writing of the peace for Europe.
The article published by the German paper which set out the USSR suggestions for settlement is amusing because it contains the usual USSR idea of compromise. You give up everything on your side and agree with the USSR on all points and then the compromise is accepted.
I want very much to see steps taken to bring about a better understanding between the USA and the USSR, but I want them to have some semblance of real compromise and I cannot see that a flat decision that we must meet in USSR territory or that we must accept USSR terms laid down beforehand, holds out much hope for any results. Both of us must go halfway and I am sure the USA will go its full halfway.

Incendo, Pixcom to give Pop Quiz for E!
The Montreal prodcos will produce 60 episodes of the half-hour pop culture game show based on Le Circle (pictured), which is broadcast on TVA in Quebec.
Bell Media entertainment specialty channel E! has ordered 60 episodes of new Canadian game show Pop Quiz from Montreal producers Pixcom and Incendo.
Each episode of Pop Quiz features 10 contestants in a circle answering rapid-fire pop culture questions. Each round becomes increasingly difficult and wrong answers lead to elimination. The remaining two contestants then face off in the final round for a cash prize.
The half-hour pop culture-based series is based on the Le Cercle game show that is broadcast on TVA in Quebec.
Pop Quiz is produced by Pixcom and Incendo in association with E! and Bell Media. Nicola Merola and Melanie Riendeau are producers. Jacquelin Bouchard, Sylvie Derochers, Carole Dufour, Jean Bureau and Ian Whitehead are executive producers.
The series is currently casting for a host, judge and contestants.
Pop Quiz will begin production this summer in Toronto, and is slated to premiere on E! in the fall.
