Read about two graduates:
Jon Augustavo, Writer, Director and Filmmaker and Joey Mele, Actor at Fordham University
Jon Augustavo, ASB Class of 1998
Bishop Blanchet High School, Class of 2002
Writer, Director and Filmmaker, jonjonaug.com
Who or what made an impression on you at ASB?
My ASB years were so long ago, but it was a positive experience. I had plenty of creative support at home, and I believe some of the teachers and curriculum at ASB allowed me to begin blossoming as a creative. Being introduced to computers with Ms. Byrne or creative writing with Ms. Hand; also Ms. O'Connel and Mr. Buckwalter were people and experiences that definitely had an impact on who I am as a creative today. The support and openness at ASB set the wheels in motion for me to pursue an atypical career path in directing and filmmaking.
What advice do you have advice for students planning to pursue a creative career?
It's hard! Not to say other fields are not, but to rely on your creative instincts as a means of income is taxing at a different level. You are being critiqued in a more personal way and on a level that speaks to who you really are, not just a spreadsheet. To pursue art, film, music, fashion, etc. not only takes thick skin, but a confidence and belief that you are good, that you are right, that what you can offer is worth showing the world and worth defending. You need to accept criticism and look inward, understand that something may not be working and people aren't attacking you, but they are just not seeing things through your eyes. If you can make them understand you will be successful in creative endeavors.
Your list of honors is long. What professional project are you most proud of?
I volunteer for a program called Manifest Works, which is an immersive, workforce development organization; we turn real-world projects into learning opportunities for those impacted by foster-care, homelessness and incarceration. In volunteering and mentoring these people they asked me to create a promo documentary about them, and what we made is so close to my heart. (www.manifestworks.org)

/>Describe your experience at ASB. What or who made impressions on you?
ASB's strong sense of community has always made a positive impression on me. What I appreciated most about my class was our variety of different people and interests – kids interested in sports, drama, art, getting good grades or being funny in class, but we supported each other in the things we loved to do.
I always appreciated the emphasis placed on the arts, along with academics, faith, and sports. To me, that made ASB different. My teachers had a knack for drawing out our strengths. For instance, I had teachers who really tapped into my love for books, others who encouraged my interest in history, and of course, those who opened doors for me in drama.
How did your ASB education prepare you for your future?
After graduating from ASB, I was well-prepared for high school, and had the skills needed to balance my academic load and extra-curricular activities. So far, my experience at Fordham University at Lincoln Center has been great! I enjoy living in Manhattan and pursuing my studies in acting. The Fordham program is rigorous, with a full load of liberal arts classes – including theology! The high standards and excellent educational foundation I received at ASB prepared me well for Fordham.
Do you have any advice for young students, specifically those interested in pursuing creative studies or career?
Work hard, stay focused, and do what you love! Lay the foundation for your career while you are young. If you are serious, learn your craft and seek opportunities to grow your skills. And, don't forget your education. The effort you put forth in all your studies will pay off and help you pursue your dreams.

|About Me:
|I love making beautiful things by hand. I do a little bit of everything including chainmaille, jewelry making, beading, knitting, crocheting, cross-stitch, embroidary and quilting. My favorite, of course, is the chainmaille work. It is so amazing and satisfying to take plain old wire, and with a little imagination and creativity, turn it into a wearable work of art!
In this day and age of machine made everything, the beauty of a handmade gift goes beyond its intrinsic value. To have something that was made with thought and care, and not by a machine or an automated process, is a gift worth having and treasuring.

in one day and out the other... a fad is any idea or object that is "in fashion" one day and "out" the next. for example: remember how in the 90's many youths listened to a pop music band (boy band) called "the Backstreet Boys"? that was a fad.
a common misconception is that fads are only observed by youths, Not True! Many adults observe fads every day, they just don't know it. an example of this is someone who works a desk job wearing semi-formal clothing, they don't need to do it, they could just as well show up for work wearing their hockey uniform, but many have a sub-conscious fear of not conforming so they do what is expected. psychologists have explained that this is the result of rules and discipline while growing up; because as a child they were told not to do things, they are always afraid that "someone is watching [them], and something bad may happen if I do something unusual", many also regard this as a reason for the lack of initiative and originality in the corporate world.

Trust the Process.
I keep telling this to myself. I'm sure this is what Jim Dolan (owner of the Knicks) told himself after this 17 win season with Phil Jackson as the President of the New York Knicks.
"Trust the Process."
This process is long, tiresome and at times emotionally draining. Trust the process. It makes me want to throw a temper tantrum like a child because of having to jump through so many hoops, which logically makes sense, but emotionally makes me ill.
Trust the process.
Our agency has the numbers. They have the success to speak on. They are a nationwide Christian agency which sounds trustworthy. Honestly, they haven't done anything untrustworthy. It's just certain aspects of the process makes me uneasy. The adoption book has to look like a scrapbook. It has to look like a power point made scrap book. For someone who has a graphic design background this is painful. The overuse of Comic Sans, poor photo quality, the list goes on. These are the examples they send to use for "inspiration".
Trust the process.
They need 50 of these books.
Trust the process.
When we look at the photos of our 'competition' (we jokingly call all of the other adoptee parents that) they all seem to look the same. Photos outside of barns, videos that look like they are trying to sell the house they stay in; it's just really, white. By white – I mean like Midwestern Iowa 1950s Americana white. Lea and I aren't that. I'm not just referring to color, I'm referring to how we live our lives. We travel across the country, we have friends across the country, and our friends are diverse. We didn't grow up in one town, were high school sweethearts and never left. It makes me question can they "market" us if they don't really have any experience with a couple like us.
Our consultant has reassured us that they can.
"Men lie, women lie, numbers don't." Jay-Z
Trust the process.
Again their numbers are great. What numbers you may ask. Successful adoptions and 'take back' rate. I have to keep telling myself this mantra of trusting the process. I have to continuously tell myself that in this case I'm not the smartest person in the room. I need to understand that my issues are about style not substance.
This week the book will be completed to their standards then we will be in the process of getting 50 books sent out for the birth parents. The good thing is that while we get the books together the birthparents (personally I hate saying birthmother – because it assumes that the father isn't involved, I'm optimistic that he is/will be) have the opportunity to see our profile online and some were sent one pagers already. There is a method to their madness. I'm just like Melo, trusting the process hoping it will bring me my first child (ring).
Trust the process. Exhale.

Since my early PR days of portfolio-building and studying for finals at college in Iowa, there has been blood, sweat and tears. By blood I mean paper cuts from clipping press hits, sweat from working down to the wire on a deadline, and tears, well…it happens even to the best of us.
When I started out in entertainment and hospitality PR, I had a hard time imagining publicity without celebrities or truffle mac and cheese. However, since my days of Kardashian red carpets and celebrity chef restaurant openings, I've had the pleasure of working with some less glamorous but still exciting brands. From banks to lab ware products and everything in between, all of my experience – sexy or not – has shaped the publicist I've become.
Whether handling media before the reveal of a celebrity's new wax figure or coming up with influencer campaigns for broadband Internet, there are a number of PR fundamentals that I've learned remain the same, no matter the client. Here a just a few.
Regardless of the client or project at hand, telling the right story in the most beneficial way is crucial. What makes your client stand out from its competitors? This might come easy if, let's say, they are introducing a new product to a small but growing market. Sometimes, however, it's a matter of finding that one thing that makes your client stand out and telling that part of its story in a compelling way.
Building relationships with media.
There is no doubt that all things social and digital are becoming more and more important. However, media relations still remains one of the more vital components to being a successful publicist. Being able to successfully communicate and work with media helps to tell your story the way you want it to be heard.
Clear strategy.
"Let's just wing it," said no publicist ever. Even when PR moves at the speed of light, remaining strategic and thoughtful can make or break any campaign. Strategy can include identifying top-tier media to pitch, creating a social media plan to target your ideal demographic, picking the best time for a red carpet appearance or hand-picking influencers for an Instagram campaign.
Know your audience.
When planning for a new campaign, it's critical to keep in mind who your audience is and what they want from you or your client. For instance, if you were pitching a tech reporter about the latest cell phone technology, your approach would be very different than if you were pitching a health reporter about a new drug coming to market. Both of these reporters are likely targeting different groups of people, and it's not just age and location to think about. Are you trying to speak to Millennials? Are you looking to reach investors or consumers? What do consumers want from your client? All of these things are important to consider before launching into a project or campaign.
Newbie and seasoned PR pros, what PR fundamentals would you add to this list?

Moving the mail throughout the city of Miami takes drivers who are happy. At the Miami Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC), the holiday spirit is contagious.
When asked what made them so happy about the holidays, Motor Vehicle Driver Juan Deya (above right), who has 18 years of service, said, "Making delivery to people who count on me."
"The best thing about the holidays at the plant is making it all possible. Even though it is the busiest season, I love the challenges," said Supervisor, Transportation Operations Berne Desilus (above left), who has 19 years of service.

By now, everyone has heard of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Obamacare. Everyone is required to have a health insurance plan, including superheroes.
Beginning in 2014, persons without health insurance will face a penalty of $95 or 1% of your yearly household income, whichever is higher. For someone who is uninsured for only part of the year, 1/12 of the total penalty is applied to each month you are uninsured. This has a significant impact on young adults as approximately 25% of adults between 18 and 34 years old are uninsured. If you are one of the 25%, you have several choices to make regarding your health insurance in 2014.
Unfortunately, the March 31, 2014 deadline to sign up for coverage using the government run marketplace exchanges has come and passed. For students focusing on mid-terms, or accountants preoccupied with tax season, thinking about the ACA requirements and options for coverage was likely not a top priority and you may now find yourself scrambling to get coverage. Before you go looking to purchase insurance, consider if you can join your parent's insurance plan. The age to remain on your parent's policy increased to 26, regardless of whether you are in school, married, or eligible to enroll in your employer's plan. However, you still need to enroll in these plans and you are not automatically covered simply because you are less than 26 years old.
Another option may be to obtain insurance through your employer. If your employer does not offer a plan for 2014, make sure to check again next year as companies with more than 50 employees are required to offer health insurance beginning in 2015.
Although the open enrollment period for the marketplace exchanges has closed, you may be able to get coverage if you have a "qualifying life event." These include marriage or divorce, having a baby, moving your residence, or losing other health coverage. A qualifying life event may allow you to join your employer's plan if their open enrollment for 2014 is closed as well. You can also purchase individual insurance directly from a provider. Just make sure it meets the minimum essential coverage as defined by the ACA.
An alternative option is to remain uninsured. If you are a single adult and make less than $19,650 in 2014, you will pay the flat fee $95. If you make less than $10,150, you will not owe any penalty. While this may seem like a reasonable option in 2014, the fees will increase in the coming years, making it more expensive to go without insurance.
If you are still not insured, put this on the top of your priorities list and make sure to examine all of your options closely, recognizing the risks and fees associated with each one.

Football News: West Ham United v Liverpool - A Liverpool Perspective
Image from: freelargeimages.com
West Ham United v Liverpool A Liverpool Perspective
First off, it was a good match, but damn near ruined by the ineptitude of the officials. The Liverpool goal should not have stood, it is amazing the linesman was so poorly positioned and that was just one in a long line of decisions they got hopelessly wrong. By the end of the game the players just looked bemused by each decision. Almost every decision made was incorrect. When one so obvious as the offside is not given, it really does make it difficult to be happy with the game or the result. It just feels uncomfortable.
It is a shame is that the game has been overshadowed by the terrible refereeing as the game itself was a very good watch. Some good end to end football in the first half, with a clever plan set out by Pellegrini to capitalise on a weakness he had spotted in Liverpool's set pieces. With modern day players being robots and unable to think for themselves, none of them were able to figure out how to change things to cope with the Hammers tactics. It is almost embarrassing how badly they were exposed due to a lack of independent thinking and inability to work out how to cope for themselves.
Liverpool had the better of the possession but failed to make the most of it, with most of their attacks fizzling out once the ball was crossed in aimlessly. The accuracy of the deliveries was, largely, very poor, the shooting was mostly on target but lacked any real power and so never really tested Fabianski. While the game was balanced on a knife edge and entertaining, it did not have the quality that you would expect from a team topping the table at this stage. There seemed a real lack of creativity from both sides, particularly the Hammers, who got most of their chances from set pieces.
In the end, I guess that made the 1-1 scoreline a fair result, despite how it was achieved, as neither side really did quite enough to deserve to win. It was only towards the end that West Ham settled for a draw that allowed Liverpool to boss the final stages, and even then they struggled to create much. As did the Hammers, despite hitting on the break, they did not create anything much clear cut other than set piece chances, though they did have a well thought out plan for them.
Pellegrini - had a well thought out and executed plan to deal with Liverpool, clearly the team had worked hard on the preparation. Maybe too much time devoted to it, which might well have cost them in their previous match against Wolves, where they clearly had no idea what to do. However, this was a hard earned point, which is in very large part the result of Pellegrini's coaching work and tactical instructions.
Not only had he developed a plan to take advantage of Liverpool's set up when defending set pieces, he also had a well thought out plan to get the team into dangerous positions to win set pieces. Rating: 8.
Fabianski - never really tested, but he was very good with what he had to do. Not just in the saves he made, but in coming to collect crosses cleanly to relieve the pressure on the defence, though the crosses were not the best to stretch him, it is still nice to see a keeper catch the ball! Rating: 7.5.
Fredericks - Pellegrini's tactics protected his weakness in defending, not really allowing him any license to get forward, but ensuring his pace was back there to deal with danger. However he did not get much help in front of him, so there were a lot of crosses coming in from his side, which he was unable to cut out. Rating: 6.5.
Diop - had a decent game very really allowed himself to be stretched but he was not exactly taken out of his comfort zone often. Rating: 6.
Ogbonna - played well within himself because he was never forced into positions out wide. It was one of his better games that I have seen because of it. Rating: 6.5.
Cresswell - never imposed himself going forward as he would like and offered very little other than a body to close down the spaces, as he often gave away possession with misplaced passes or wayward shots. Rating: 5.
Rice - stood out a mile for West Ham. So good to see a young player who has been given the chance to establish himself, rather than just the usual nonsense about them being too young. Instead of saying a youngster is too young to cope with adult football, they have played him and given him the chance to learn to cope with it and the results are showing. He is getting better and better. By far and away the best signing of the season made by them was his extended contract. Rating: 8.5.
Noble - his performance was steady but he gave away the ball far too much for my liking. Unfortunately for Noble he plays alongside Rice and that makes his contribution look so much worse as he is clearly nowhere near the same level as his young partner in midfield. Rating: 6.
Antonio - despite having all the grace of a ballerina in concrete boots, somehow Antonio's blundering runs can be incredibly effective. His combination of willingness to keep going, pace and raw power are very difficult to stop when he gets a head of steam up, it is only his lack of the same kind of skilful touch Felipe Anderson has that often stops him from being a much more dangerous player. Despite picking up a problem very early in the game, which virtually completely hobbled him and prevented him tracking back at all, he kept going and scored afterwards, but he was clearly only operating at 30% for most of the game. Rating: 7.
Snodgrass - worked hard and contributed to the result with his hard work and his ball delivery when he did get on the ball, he was just not able to get on it enough to really make a significant difference. Though that was as much down to the quality of the Hammers shooting lacking accuracy as anything else. Rating: 6.5.
Anderson - he moves so beautifully that sometimes it masks how inconsistent his end product can be. His glide along the ground so effortlessly controlling the ball is almost magical at times and looks so graceful, but it can as often be accompanied by him losing the ball as it can by him creating a chance for himself or others or just in playing a pass to a team-mate even. Even so, he is great to watch, but a bit more care taken with his final touch, pass, cross or shot and he would be a well established Brazilian international regular.
However he would probably never have ended up available for the Hammers to buy and fans to enjoy watching in the Prem if he had that little bit extra. So it is a case of just celebrating what he does do well, and he does do a lot well, though he was not at his best in this game. Only one shot and it was off target, too many wayward passes but he does make it all look so good. Rating: 7.
Hernandez - used his body really well to stop defenders getting clean headers or just to protect the ball. What let him down, unusually, was the inaccuracy of his shooting, which was just one on target from his 4 shots. He could have done with better delivery as well, most was going to him at head height, when he needs it to his feet against much taller defender. Rating: 7.
Carroll - replaced Hernandez in the 79th minute. Offers nothing really. Bit of a waste of a substitution if you ask me. Rating: 4.
Obiang - took the place of Noble in the 79th minute. I am not sure what has happened to Obiang, but he is half the player he once was and was dreadful. Every time I see West Ham lately I think that exact same thing of him. Maybe it is just unhappiness at not being able to return to Serie A? Rating: 2.
Masuaku - brought on in the 90th+1 minute to replace Anderson. Barely got on the pitch before the same finished. Rating: 5.
Klopp - he was very limited in selection by injuries, but that is no excuse for not reacting to the set play issues. That is something that will have to be looked at, the players clearly lack the ability to think it through and figure out what to do, so he will have to give them instructions on how to deal with these issues in future. Rating: 5.5.
Alisson - difficult to judge him, he did look jittery but he never really had much to save or do and his distribution was mainly accurate. Rating: 5.5.
Milner - you know what you will get from Milner, hard work and decent quality delivery, but can be exposed when up against pace. West Ham did try to target the space in behind but it never really led to as many chances as it really should have. While he was a mile offside on the goal, his cross was excellent to create it. Rating: 6.
Matip - his runs forward are becoming a problem. Every time he does one, he gives the ball away and leaves a yawning gap in the backline due to it. He needs to be stronger and not allow attackers to bully him as well. Rating: 2.
van Dijk - probably the worst game that Dick's big brother has had in a Liverpool shirt. For long periods he was awful, even allowing Hernandez to muscle him out of a header. The last game I excused his poor performance as he had been sick, but it is worrying that he has now played poorly in two games in a row. The commanding centre half that fans have become used to seeing was nowhere to be seen and he looked nervous, particularly in the first half. Rating: 3.5.
Robertson - I just wonder the point in having an attacking full back whose delivery is routinely awful? Seven crosses he put into the box with just one having any kind of accuracy. Added to that his decision making and passing was off as well and it was just a poor day for Robertson. Since his error that gave away a goal against Leicester City he has been awful, after starting that game really well. He needs to take a deep breath and just go back to basic defending and start taking more time over his crossing. Rating: 2.5.
Lallana - one marvellous piece of skill to play in a clearly offside Milner aside, he really contributed nothing to the performance and was clearly miles off the pace of the game throughout. Rating: 2.
Keita - I am surprised at the vitriol on the Liverpool site with regard to him. People seem to have expected to see a combination of the best of Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso, N'Golo Kante and a touch of the real Ronaldo all mixed in to make the perfect footballer by the sounds of their whines. Made a number of successful dribbles and had very high passing accuracy, he just needed to drive into the box more. Keita is not there to break up play by making the kind of plays Kante is famous for, though some Liverpool fans seemed to be under the illusion that was the kind of player he is because of a few clueless comparisons floating around online that seemed simply based on the fact they are a similar build.
Keita is a player who needs movement in front of him to pick out, something that was lacking in this match for him. He will drive forward with the ball at his feet at pace and then look for a pass or shot, neither were on as the Hammers defended his runs well and the movement ahead of him was lacking. Rating: 6.5.
Fabinho - not a bad game but not as outstanding as he has been. Like Keita he suffered due to not having the players to pick out with a pass when he got the ball. The only player finding any space up high was Robertson. Playing as a single pivot with Lallana and Keita in front in the first half left him exposed when the Hammers broke. In the second half he was much better with Keita alongside him. Rating: 6.
Mane - scored the goal but was not at his best. The Hammers closed down the space for him very well and did not let him get Fredericks exposed often. Rating: 6.
Salah - it was just not coming off for him, worked shooting chances a couple of times but got his shot wrong. Struggled to find space in the centre so began drifting off to the right and deep to get on the ball and looked better then. Rating: 6.
Firmino - I love Firmino as a player but he is really struggling for form right now. That was not a particularly good game for him, he was nowhere near his best. Rating: 5.5.
Shaqiri - replaced Lallana in the 69th minute. Trying too hard to make things happen and ends up forcing a pass forward. The worrying thing is that those forced passes are within his ability to produce but he was missing by miles with them. When he settled down and just played, he was much better. Good thing was that he chased back and provided cover when West Ham broke, so the workrate was back after a few weeks' absence. Rating: 5.
Origi - came on in place of Firmino in the 75th minute. Never really got the chance he was looking for to get in the box and have an attempt. Showed some nice touches and workrate, it was just always too far away from West Ham's box as they kept Liverpool at arm's length. Rating: 5.
Just to explain my ratings. I have gone for what I believe is more simple than the usual of totting up points. I have decided to go with 5 as having no effect on the game other than being a body on the pitch. Anything below 5 is a player who had a negative effect on his team and anything above 5 as a positive effect. So a goal scored would be a positive effect and add to the rating, whereas giving away a penalty with a needless challenge would take away from it.

This member participated in the following discussions
Here are some comments in the form of notes corresponding first to points in the Summary and Recommendations, and then page numbers. I hope they are useful
Comments on smallholder investment report
Pt 5: very important to note SH involvement in markets, but not always equally.
12: Political dimension could also include democratic control over agricultures in accordance with national food security, & SH viability, objectives
14. Neglect and ignorance of SH existence and potential should be brought forward as a framing issue. Instead of starting with a definition as in #1, why not begin with the observation that the condition of the SH is first and foremost a condition of neglect and misunderstanding. A social, cultural and ecological blindspot to be blunt!
15. Suggest adding: and concern with overcrowding slums, and an opportunity also for economic and social 'multipliers' in rural regions/territories.
20. and markets at local levels? (less susceptible to export strategies)
28. Introduce the idea of investment in the smallholder commons rather than simply distinguishing vulnerable and 'well off' – especially given advocacy of collective action in 29 and Fig 1.
Specific Recommendations
Pt 32. managing technical risks also requires particular farming practices over and above policies and tools.
33. involvement of banks and financial systems needs close regulation to avoid indebtedness.
35. important to emphasize new markets as new growth areas (especially in global North, attracting new SHs)
38. strengthening democratic SH organizations good – but why number 38? This issue of voice/representations needs to frame many of the other dimensions/recommendations.
16 – Future visioning of agriculture could be brought forward to organize/shape the introduction of SH as vital to food security, employment, energy efficiency, rural vitality and environmental stewardship
17 Multifunctionality a critical part of revisioning agriculture
26 Why not emphasize the ecological importance of mixed farming?
28, 2.2 – important point about SH potential to contribute to domestic food security and employment,
29 and about adequate conditions for market participation.
Also critical point regarding differentiating types of markets, to 'de-naturalize' the globalized agrifood markets often considered the only (viable) market, and underline the significance of differentiating necessary investments for SH to participate in different agr markets
34 Why wouldn't an agr-led development strategy consider reducing the export of family members and strengthen farming communities, rather than take for granted the 65% SH in LAmerica who increasingly depend on off-farm income?
3. Framework for SH Agr and Investments
36 An important point to argue that for SH capital formation is labor-driven, as it sets up the argument for paying attention to gender equity, health & social protections: this theme is critical and it speaks to the issue of recognition of the potential and rights of SHs.
39 emphasis on collective investment important – landscape management and SH organizations, eg. What about supporting seed exchanges, commons?
40 Important to emphasize social safety nets etc as a right for SH often neglected in urban-centered programs, and assumed to be failing (cf p 44)
41 emphasis on laws/regulations in corporate/SH relationship important – may be important to mention that private standards represent one way in which corporate processors or retailers create their own market 'laws' [just as, on p 43, land deals are confidential]
46- 4.2: Persistent poverty section is good, but reinforces a sense of stasis or decline of SH conditions – important to continually connect to lack of recognition in expectations of SH farming and SAPolicies that have set SH farming back
49 SH uniqueness (linkages between economic and socio-cultural risks, eg) means that there needs to be stronger voice concerning the specificity of SH practices that cannot be reduced to or understood purely from a market logic (as outlined on p 50 regarding the 'white revolution' in India).
54 the typology depicts types of smallholders according to assets, markets and institutional context. It is not clear that these dimensions can be so easily isolated. Markets are institutions. It means, for example, that (neoliberal) policies liberalizing markets resulting in 'food dependency' are separated from the impact on smallholders – the so-called 'cheap food regime' (hinted at on p 60).
55 identification of examples of positive interventions is useful
58 good to invest in human capital vs land and productivity focus only
63 important to emphasize research to improve knowledge base for producers
66 Importance of public financial institutions and partnerships with private, cooperative and community institutions
67 reorient value chain agriculture to local and national markets – not just a matter of saying 'despite the preference of development agencies and even national governments to prioritize modern for-export value chains…' the issue is surely epistemic – that is, it is more than a matter of preference – there is a WTO regime and a history of structural adjustment and exporting to pay debt: all ingredients of a global vision of corporate markets ruled by "comparative advantage"
70 National Smallholder Vision and Strategic Framework indispensible – to address and overcome constraints SH. Why not signal this right at the beginning of the report?
Thank you for this opportunity to comment on the HLPE draft.
I've tried to flag some issues that are important, need strengthening, and in some cases need 'front-loading' -- first and foremost the question of recognizing smallholder agriculture seems to me to be paramount. There is a lot of really good material in this draft along these lines, but often buried. While it's good to keep reminding readers of this, it's also important to signal these fundamental issues up front, as framing issues.
So here are my comments, in short-hand, attached.

First off this OFF ROAD DIRT BIKE does NOT have a title. This bike is sold with a bill of sale ONLY. I don't even believe these where sold new with title's back in 1976.
This bike runs and rides amazing. A one kick bike. I believe this is a low mileage/hour bike simple because of how tight everything is and the fact it's still wearing it's original seat upholstery (which does have a couple minor tears) and was wearing it's original tires until recently. New Michelin StarCross Mediums on it now. Only one 25 mile trail ride with them. I do ride this bike so no its not just sitting without fuel in it being baby sat. I try to ride it as much as possible (couple times a month). The bike has recently been serviced with fresh oil & valve adjustment. Carb was professionally rebuilt not too long ago also. I do not collect these so I don't know what everyone's looking for number wise so if you have any questions don't hesitate to call/text. 863-517-0679 Also this bike is being sold locally so I do have the right to pull this ad at anytime.

Balancing Act – Part 5
We all want our children to be safe and if at all possible, follow behind us so we can keep them safe block them from harm. It also teaches them how to follow. That's pretty much what Jesus ask us to do:
John 5:19, " Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise."
So Gabriel has reached the phase in this whole "Bike Riding" thing that he felt like he was ready to take his act on the road. During the summer months we loved taking long walks outside around our neighborhood. There was recently a path built for a walking trail, but it was also unpaved and rocky. One day while we were getting ready to go for a walk, Gabriel and Angel asked if they could ride their bikes. Everyone else was walking, but they thought it would be neat to take their bikes and enjoy the ride. Their older brother Israel thought he would take his bike out with them so they wouldn't feel alone riding and he could also teach them how to cross at stop signs, and look both ways for traffic.
It was settled, and they got their gear on….CHECK! They also got their bikes out….CHECK! Now….they were ready to go. We all headed out the house and began our daily walk. It went pretty well at first, they followed right behind Israel, and listened to his instructions. We were very close behind, watching and enjoying the fun they were having riding out in public. The paved roads were smooth, so no real problems there with the terrain. But, eventually the paved road came to a stop, and the dirt/rocky road began. They both noticed that the road was different immediately. First, they came to the grassy part. Riding a bike through tall grass wasn't easy. Being 4 feet tall made this grass seem lik the gunggle. They were scared that bugs were going to get their legs. The bike wouldn't move at all and they had to make EVERY EFFORT themselves to get out of the GRASS if they wanted to make it to the dirt road. They finally did, but not without some weeping and gnashing of teeth. Once they reached the rocky road, they were relieved to be on flat dirt. They began the momentum again of pushing and the bikes would roll a couple of feet, but then they would stop. Wasn't as easy as the paved roads.
Gabriel began to complain because he saw his big brother rolling ahead of him, and that made him feel left behind. Angel, well……she had given up a long time ago and just started walking. Gabriel on the other hand, was determined to keep going. He wanted to keep up with his brother so badly. But every push he made, his brother seemed to get further and further away. Israel would turn around to hear his brother yelling his name, "ISRAEEEEEEEEEEEL…..WAIT FOR MEEEEEEEEEE!!!". His brother would stop and wait for him to catch up, but the process seemed to always start over again when Israel would move forward.
See, the dirt road didn't bother Israel because he was older and had more experience riding his bike, and with his age came strength. His legs could handle the rough road. He had done it before, and learned just like Gabriel would, how to navigate through it. Gabriel didn't understand why it was so easy for Israel, and even when Israel tried to explain, the explanation didn't make him feel better. Eventually Israel road up ahead, and as mommy and daddy followed behind watching it all take place, Gabriel started complaining about his legs hurting. He was trying so bad to push through and his little legs were getting worn out. Finally, the bike stopped and Gabe got off and stood there. Tears ran down his face because he really wanted to make it.
Daddy eventually walked over to him and asked him what was wrong. Why did he stop (though he already knew). He began to explain as best as a 5 year old could….that he just couldn't go any further. He wasn't as fast as his brother, his legs were short, and they hurt, and he just was discouraged. He couldn't go any more.
Daddy had watched the entire time and knew exactly what would happen. In fact, Daddy knew before we left the house that this would happen, and he told Gabe, "are you sure you want to do this?". Of course Gabe, not knowing what was up ahead, said YES! So, Daddy prepared himself to be ready for the moment when he might not be able to continue it alone.
So…Gabriel feeling defeated, bowed his head and surrendered his bike to Daddy. Daddy in turn encouraged Gabe that it was ok….that he would eventually get to the point that Israel is at in riding his bike. The more he practices, the better he would get…the more energy and strength he would have and one day he would ride his bike on the dirt rocky road with no problem. Until then…Daddy assured Gabe he would help him the rest of the way home. Daddy grabbed the bike in one hand….and then picked up Gabe with his other hand and placed him on his back. Then the family began the walk back home.
Angel was holding mommy's hand, while mommy carried her bike…and Gabriel rode home…..on Daddy's back. He didn't even have to worry about his bike, daddy had that too. On this Christian Journey…….God the FATHER abides with us each and every day. He is watching us mature and grow, and fall, as we walk along trying to figure it all out. He speaks to us directly, just as Gabriel's father spoke to him before he left to go on the walk. He lets us know that it will be challenges ahead. Sometimes we listen to the warnings and choose to go another road…and other times we feel very confident that we can handle the dirt and rocks. But….in true Daddy fashion, our FATHER IN HEAVEN is walking right I front of us, behind us and along side us. As we are watching our Brothers and Sisters succeed, sometimes we can feel very small, and unaccomplished. We can get discouraged and tired of the journey, watching everyone fly by. Asking questions such as, "Why are they doing so well?", "Why can't I be where they are", "Why is it so hard for me?". Ultimately feeling Tired and want to quit.
We've all been there, but in those times God the Father, who actually is there not only taking the roll as the leader in this journey, saying, "Follow me", but he is also say, "Don't you worry, I am with you always and I have your back". I'll carry you when you can't even carry yourself! That's essentially what Gabe's dad did for him….he carried him the rest of the way home. God is also ready and willing to do that for you too. Trust Him and know you are never alone….you will make it home, just SURRENDER your life to Him and you'll be in good hands:
Matthew 28:20, "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you (FOLLOW ME): and, lo, I am with you (WALKING BESIDE YOU)always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

If you are a woman, you probably can relate to the following scenario: During one of your steamy sessions with your man, all of a sudden, your area down there refused to cooperate. Your man down there made sure he will spend enough time down south and yet, you are having a hard time getting – or staying – wet.
There is a solution to this in the form of a lubricant, but not the kind your man uses on his car engine. You may even know of other women who swear by coconut oil for vaginal dryness.
If you are like most of us, you are the organic, all-natural type, so, you searched the World Wide Web and found out about coconut oil for your vaginal dryness. You might be a bit wary about using coconut oil down there, but the truth is this natural product has so much to offer.
Here are 15 things you should know about vaginal dryness and coconut oil to combat those occasional dry spells.
First, let us define and understand what vaginal dryness is.
Vaginal dryness is a condition resulting from insufficient lubrication in the cervix. Oftentimes, this leads to inflammation and thinning of your vaginal walls. You will also experience itching, stinging, or burning sensation down there, which makes sex painful and uncomfortable.
Vaginal dryness, or vaginal atrophy in the medical world, is more common on women between 45 and 55 years old, which is also known as the menopause stage. An estimated 40 to 60 percent of menopausal women will experience dry spells along with itching, pain, burning and bleeding symptoms.
Even if vaginal dryness is common in older women, this doesn't mean you are safe from this condition if you are below the age of 40. Even if you are younger than that, there is still a possibility you might experience vaginal dryness once in a while due to several factors, which you will learn more about in the next section.
When it comes to vaginal dryness, there is one factor playing a major role that led to this condition. It's called estrogen.
Estrogen is the hormone responsible for keeping your vagina well lubricated. Consequently, the vaginal lining is red, bright, plump, and moist. As you age, estrogen levels start to drop, causing changes in your body, including your vaginal area. This makes the vaginal lining drier, thinner, and less elastic, hence dry spell along with other menopause symptoms.
Does this mean ensuring normal levels for estrogen won't cause vaginal dryness? Not necessarily.
Other causes of vaginal dryness are:
Can you do something about it? The answer is yes. Read the next section to find out how to prevent your next drought down south.
Vaginal dryness can cause pain and discomfort, thereby affecting your overall attitude towards sex. The good news is you can do something to stop a dry spell from paying you an unwelcomed visit.
Depending on the cause of dryness, here are some of the treatment options:
These treatments have their corresponding pros and cons; however, nothing beats going natural when it comes to preventing vaginal dryness from messing up with your sex life. By going natural, this means use of natural oils.
Natural oils like olive, grape seed, and sunflower are good products that could help combat dryness and bring back moisture down south. Apparently, there is one type of natural oil that stands out in this category: coconut oil.
Keep reading to know what coconut oil can do to solve those dry spell issues.
The list of super foods goes on and on, but one thing is for sure: you will see coconut oil as part of it.
What's with coconut oil that makes it extra special?
Coconut oil is made by pressing the fat from the coconut's white meat. At least 84 percent of its calories came from saturated fats, which explains its ability to withstand high cooking temperatures and having a longer shelf life.
Before you react on the saturated fat, you should know that the oil's saturated fat is made of medium-chain triglycerides or MCTs, which are known to boost good cholesterol, among others. This also explains why people who consume coconut, like the Tokelauans from South Pacific and Kitavans, are healthiest and with no evidence of heart disease.
Many people are raving about coconut oil and what it could do for your health. The question is what.
Aside from its MCT content that helps improve your blood cholesterol levels, here are some of the evidence-based health benefits of this superfood from the Pacific:
Here is the best part: aside from boosting your health, coconut oil could also be your skin's best friend. The next section will tell you what this superfood can do to boost your skin's vitality and health.
Perhaps you made a switch from vegetable oil to coconut oil in the kitchen because of the latter's many health benefits. You also love the way it adds flavor to your salad and favorite dishes. Aside from the kitchen, what are the other ways you can enjoy this superfood from tropical countries?
Here are various coconut oil uses:
All of these uses will surely help you and make your life healthier. Did you know that coconut oil could even do more than these? Believe it or not, this superfood can help you in your bedroom drought problems.

As harsh as it may sound, aging is inevitable and menopause is unavoidable, too. Thankfully, there are many treatments and therapies to help you with menopause, so be sure to enlist in the help of your doctor.
There are ways to fight those mid-life symptoms, and, with menopause comes another annoying and common condition: vaginal dryness.
Vaginal dryness, especially during your middle years, is a result of a hormonal imbalance. Aside from this, you will often experience other menopausal symptoms such as:
Here's the bad news: these symptoms could take a toll on your sex life, especially vaginal dryness. The next thing you know, you are constantly saying no to your partner who is always in the mood. You might even find yourself spending hundreds of dollars for therapy, vaginal lubricants, and other products that will help you get your groove back in the bedroom.
The good news is there is a wallet-friendly way address vaginal dryness, and it goes by the name of coconut oil. Aside from the health and beauty benefits, coconut oil is an excellent solution to dry spell because its rich texture makes it is safer, gentler, and more soothing for your gentle area down there.
There are more reasons why you should use coconut oil for vaginal dryness, which you will learn more about below. In the meantime, find out the different ways you can use this superfood in the next section.
The good news is you can easily incorporate coconut oil in your daily routine. There are various ways you can use it too, such as these tricks:
In case you want a surefire way to avoid dryness with coconut oil, it won't hurt if you try these three techniques, especially applying some few minutes before being with your special someone. The choice is yours.
You know what vaginal dryness is and the different causes and treatments available. You also know what coconut oil is and what it can do to your health and body. You were also informed about how this superfood can help you manage dryness symptoms that make sex painful and uncomfortable.
The question now is why you should use coconut oil for vaginal dryness instead of your usual water-based lube. If you are still not convinced, here are few reasons you should re-consider coconut oil for vaginal dryness. Coconut oil is:
In other words, coconut oil is not only a safe and gentle lubricant, but it also ensures that your vaginal area is hydrated, moisturized and well-maintained. This could come in handy, especially if you are approaching menopause when your hormones are out of whack. Consequently, these are the reasons why some women are already making a switch and saying goodbye to their favorite commercial lubes.
Given these reasons, does this mean coconut oil is all good with no negative side effects? Not necessarily. The next section will tell you about the disadvantages of coconut oil for vaginal dryness.
Apparently, everything in this planet comes with downsides, too – and coconut oil is not exempt. Compared to vaginal moisturizers, creams, lubricants and other available treatment for vaginal dryness, coconut oil is the "lesser evil" among them all.
Here are the cons of using coconut oil:
If you notice any irritation, then discontinue use immediately.
Coconut oil is good for you, and there is no doubt about it. In fact, it can be your best friend to combat vaginal dryness. Still, there are few reminders you should remember to make sure that you will enjoy this supefood's benefits.
Go over and remember these tips to maximize what coconut oil can offer you:
A yeast infection is a type of vaginal inflammation characterized by intense itchiness, irritation, and discharge caused by Candida fungus. You also often experience dryness and discomfort during sex, which is why you often say no.
There are several vaginal suppositories you can use to treat yeast infection. Just like in ordinary vaginal dryness, coconut oil could also address this and help you regain momentum inside the bedroom.
Here's how coconut oil can help:
If you are wondering where to get coconut oil, here's good news for you: you can buy it almost anywhere. A trip to the grocery, local market, and health food stores won't disappoint since coconut oil is available. You can even get your supply online from legitimate sellers such as Thrive Market and Amazon. During your trip, you might even find coconut oil suppository in case you are into supplements.
Here's the catch: there are many fake sellers around and you have to be careful to read the real reviews from past customers. Otherwise, you might fall into their trap and pay them a good amount without realizing that you are getting the wrong product.
Here's the thing: coconut oil is not the least expensive oil around. In fact, it might cost you $15 for a 15-ounce jar, $25 for 29-ounce jar, and almost $40 for 54-ounce jar of organic virgin coconut oil. It is a bit cheaper if you will use coconut oil as a beauty product since it would cost you $6 to $20 depending on the size and brand.
Is there a way you can save a few dollars? The answer is yes.
Online stores like Thrive Market put some of its coconut oil products on sale, giving you up to $10 of savings. If you have friends or family members who are into coconut oil, place an order together to minimize shipping costs.
Another way to save from the costs is to buy in bulk. You don't have to worry about spoilage since coconut oil is stable and could last longer than any of its counterparts.
You already established that coconut oil is good not just for your skin and health, but also in treating vaginal dryness. Still, this doesn't mean you should rely on coconut oil alone. The truth is coconut oil is one of the options that could help you with vaginal dryness. It still needs back up since this superfood cannot do it by itself.
Particularly for older women, coconut oil menopause treatments are the natural approach. Here are tips to help stop and prevent that drought down south:
There are tons of available products to treat vaginal dryness, but if you want something safer, gentler, and more effective down there, then coconut oil might do the trick. Take note of these 15 tidbits about vaginal dryness and this superfood. The next time a dry spell attacks, keep in mind that coconut oil for vaginal dryness is the best way to go.

Juliet by Anne Fortier
Twenty-five-year-old Julie Jacobs is heartbroken over the death of her beloved aunt Rose. But the shock goes even deeper when she learns that the woman who has been like a mother to her has left her entire estate to Julie's twin sister. The only thing Julie receives is a key – one carried by her mother on the day she herself died – to a safety-deposit box in Siena, Italy. This key sends Julie on a journey that will change her life forever – a journey into the troubled past of her ancestor Giulietta Tolomei. In 1340, still reeling from the slaughter of her parents, Giulietta was smuggled into Siena, where she met a young man named Romeo. Their ill-fated love turned medieval Siena upside-down and went on to inspire generations of poets and artists, the story reaching its pinnacle in Shakespeare's famous tragedy. But six centuries have a way of catching up to the present, and Julie gradually begins to discover that here, in this ancient city, the past and present are hard to tell apart. The deeper she delves into the history of Romeo and Giulietta, and the closer she gets to the treasure they allegedly left behind, the greater the danger surrounding her – superstitions, ancient hostilities, and personal vendettas. As Julie crosses paths with the descendants of the families involved in the unforgettable blood feud, she begins to fear that the notorious curse – "A plague on both your houses!" – is still at work, and that she is destined to be its next target. Only someone like Romeo, it seems, could save her from this dreaded fate, but his story ended long ago. Or did it?
This novel tells the story of Romeo and Juliet in a different way, as it spans over the time of six hundred years, starting with the original couple – Romeo Marescotti and Giulietta Tolomei – and ending the story with two people that might finally break the famous curse that summoned "a plague on both your houses!"
Julie is a young woman who is, despite her expectations, bequeathed a strange inheritance after her Aunt Rose's untimely demise – she must travel to Italy and find her treasure there and this treasure, supposedly, has something or even everything to do with Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. She discovers that she and her estranged twin sister Janice are descendants of Giulietta Tolomei, the real-life Juliet – Julie and Janice Jacobs's real names are Giulietta and Gianozza Tolomei – and Julie, in love with the play, decides to finish the research that her late mother started many years ago and this very same research may have cost both her parents their lives and made Aunt Rose change the girls' names to protect them.
Once Julie comes to Siena, the place where the famous story really took place, instead of Verona, she begins to discover many surprising and strange things, one of them being that the families of Tolomei, Salimbeni and Marescotti – not only two, but three households – still do not trust each other and she, against her will, is sucked into the middle of their differences. In Siena, this means that Julie soon finds herself in danger and, believe it or not, there are worse things than the Italian mafia.
Julie uncovers the entire history of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, or rather Romeo Marescotti and Giulietta Tolomei, who died in 1340. The story from the 14th century is very similar to Shakespeare's play, but there are some significant differences – Romeo met Juliet while she was hiding in a coffin; Romeo never killed a Tolomei, but was falsely accused of having committed the murder and was thus banished from Siena; there was a secret marriage, but Giulietta was still forced to marry her family's greatest rival and the murderer of her entire family, the patriarch of the Salimbenis; the lovers' death happened quite differently; and so on. The truth is, the true story of Romeo and Juliet was far more bloody and more cruel than the one presented in the play.
I really loved the 14th century chapters of the novel and all of it was based on real people and events that were, according to the author, changed a little for the sake of the story, but I don't mind such changes, unless they are really disturbing. The historical part will definitely be a treat for lovers of historical fiction and the only complaint I have in this respect is that the language seemed a bit modern at times when the story was taking place in the past. The author researched both the 14th century and the present-time Italy well and this gives the novel an air of authenticity. I loved how very present the history of these three families still was in the present-time Siena and how it still mattered whether you were a Tolomei, a Salimbeni or a Marescotti, as this really is very characteristic of Italy as I know it. The web between these families is very intricate and things definitely get complex when it becomes apparent that our heroine, Julie, is supposed to find her Romeo (who some say died, some say still lives, but all agree that he is a dangerous, edgy guy), but Julie falls in love with Alessandro Santini, whose godmother is a Salimbeni.
The characters are very interesting to read about, especially Julie and Alessandro, my immediate favourites. They start off by hating each other, but this develops into something more romantic, yet definitely more complex. The novel is filled with surprises. Some characters are not who everyone else believes them to be and surprise the reader with their true identities. There are also slightly paranormal elements present, but not in great measure; just to spice things up and create an atmosphere of mysticism, which I enjoyed.
I do have a few complaints. Julie and Janice, the twin sisters, are supposed to be on bad terms and estranged, so their patching things up and solving the mystery together seemed a bit rushed. Also, the ending seemed a bit rushed and some things were not resolved, for example what exactly happened to the character of Umberto and some other things.
All in all, this was a very enjoyable read and should appeal to lovers of mystery, romance and, of course, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Thank you Suzana at Bookalicious Ramblings for giving me the book to read and review!

borrowed this book from the library and read it in two days - it was that engrossing!

when i get to italy, i will definitely take a trip to siena, explore the bottinis and, perhaps, find my own "destiny"...
great review! cheers!

"Fifty Years of Malfunction" is an anecdotal journey through life, from the point of view of a former Type 1 diabetic. The book aims to give sufferers, carers and interested readers a clearer understanding of many aspects of the condition often overlooked, especially by the newly diagnosed. Because diabetes affects every part of the body, there is plenty of both comic and serious medical drama, and a cast of eccentric characters.
Grant Vicat was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 11 months old, and has first hand experience of the various complications and the evolving treatment of the condition.
All profits from the book will go to Addenbrooke's Hospital Transplant Department, who gave Grant a replacement kidney and pancreas in 2013. The book costs £10, (including p&p within the UK). Please contact him on email@example.com to buy a copy or for more information.
