As India witnesses the central government launch a campaign to promote nutri cereals, Down To Earth talks to an expert about the relevance of millets, its cultural significance and its benefits for women. Shailaja Fennell, university senior lecturer in development studies at the department of land economy in the University of Cambridge, is an expert in institutional reform, rural development and gender and household dynamics in agriculture.
Will you call millets essentially a woman's crop?
Millets are grown in semi-arid conditions as they are resistant to heat and can survive in environments with less water resources. They are also labour intensive and the yields are not very high. It is for these reasons that millets are grown and consumed by marginal communities. Often, it is women, who cultivate and manage millet production. In this sense, it could be deemed a woman's crop.
Do you think India's focus on millets will help women farmers achieve empowerment?
The fact that women have traditional rights to cultivate millets can be a positive feature that can be harnessed to improve their lives in the future. As the Green Revolution did not focus on millets, which were an orphan crop group till the late 1990s, there was a serious shortcoming in addressing the food needs of the most marginalised groups. As an outcome of focussing on well-irrigated agricultural zones, the semi-arid zones, the production systems of marginalised communities, and in particular, the role of women as millet producers in the community, were also overlooked.
There are a wide range of millets that are grown in semi-arid communities, in both Africa and South Asia. In most communities, women are the primary producers of millets and spend long hours in processing them. The lack of focus on marginal communities had the added disadvantage of not recognising the arduous labour demands of millet production that women in marginalised communities had to endure and still go through.
We find the mention of millets in ancient Indian texts. What has the grains' significance in Indian culture?
A wide range of millets have been identified in ancient civilisations in both East Africa and Asia. However, there is evidence that millets did not originate in South Asia, but were originally found in China and appear to have moved across Asia over 10,000 years ago. There is, nonetheless, considerable evidence of a long tradition of cultivation and use of a number of small millets in many regions of India. Millets are also recorded in many agricultural rituals celebrating the sprouting of new seeds at the beginning of an agricultural cycle (such as the practice of Navadhanya in South India) and this is very much in keeping with the long standing cultivation of these crops in regional economies for at least the last two millennia.
There are a number of millet revivals that have emerged over the past few years. Of particular significance is the Odisha Millet Mission, as this state has a large tribal population and women play an important role in cultivating millets. They are also the repositories of traditional knowledge regarding millets. There is the inspiring case of the Deccan Development Society that has been a trailblazer is using millets to improve the livelihoods of tribal women. These case studies provide rich detail about the pathways that can be strengthened to ensure that women become the guardians of traditional knowledge and also the trainers for future generations.
Do you think, gender wise, our policies on millet promotion can do better?
Till date, there has been little innovation in devising methods to reduce the labour burden that is imposed on women, who produce and process millets. There is an urgent need for designing mechanical devices to reduce this burden so that women can benefit from the growing demand of millet as a health food and also to ensure that they can become viable entrepreneurs by diversifying into commercialisation value chains for millets.
This will be a major focus of the TIGR2ESS programme where there is specific investigation on how sustainable millet production systems might be established that would ensure greater financial and social benefits for employment in a more innovative millet sector. We are particularly keen to find avenues to empower women millet producers through the creation of new millet processing enterprises.

Q: A Question About Plural Singular In the following passage, is "These are a piece" grammatically incorrect? It feels odd to change it to "Theses are pieces" but that would seem more consistent.
"The word politics may conjure images of capital buildings, government officials, and language steeped in legal jargon. These are a piece of our politics, but fundamentally politics is the activity shaping the way we organize our shared life together. To shape our shared life in a way that is truly just and peaceful we must bring our full selves. Only a politics steeped in love can breathe life into law. When we engage in passionate politics, our politics will become less about legal structures and more about the people inside of them. The question we ought to ask is then: in what direction will we point our love?"

"My base salary was $12,000. But I had a TV contract of $100 a show on a one-year trial for ten shows. So it wasn't just the base salary. Every time that the salary surveys come out in the newspaper, I have to hide it from my wife (Barbara), because she gets mad every time she sees what everybody's making. She says, 'Go back for one year and get fired. Then you'll be set for life.'"

– on Georgia defensive tackle and pro wrestler Bill Goldberg.
"Nothing like being a champion. Go Dawgs"
"I just don't think a coaching career can be complete without an undisputed National Championship. You need at least one year when you win them all and your team is recognized unanimously as the best in the nation. It took 17 years to do it, but we finally had one."

After seeing the Timber Shelter we installed for a neighbour school, we were approached for a similar structure to go within the forest grounds of Curzon School. With the addition of a few benches and some T&G boarding, our Tudor Shelter created a semi enclosed feeling with partial weather protection, as well as a seated area from where the children can complete the written part of their exercises.
The Forest School has been a total success and praised by staff and pupils alike. We hope you agree that this is a timber shelter worthy of any Forest School.

Home/Conflicts & War/At least 3 killed, 16 injured in Russian bombing of Kharkiv
At least 3 killed, 16 injured in Russian bombing of Kharkiv
Online News EditorApril 19, 2022
Kyiv, Apr 19 (EFE).- At least three people were killed and 16 others wounded when the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv was shelled on Tuesday, Ukrainian authorities reported.
The authorities in the region urged citizens to remain in their shelters in Ukraine's second-largest city, which has been under intense shelling by Russian forces for weeks.
The attacks on Kharkiv, which left nine other fatalities on Monday, came as Russia launched a long-anticipated offensive in the eastern Donbas region.
The siege, meanwhile, continues in the strategic southern city of Mariupol, where Russian forces have been repeatedly issuing ultimatums to Ukrainian fighters and several civilians in a steel plant to stop fighting and surrender. EFE

December-January Exhibition: People • Places • Things featuring Tony Huynh, Deirdre Leber, John Musgrove, Jeanne Vadeboncoeur, and Elena Zolotnitsky
E X H I B I T I O N S T A T E M E N T
Bryant Street Gallery is pleased to present People • Places • Things, a group exhibition featuring Tony Huynh, Deirdre Leber, John Musgrove, Jeanne Vadeboncoeur, and Elena Zolotnitsky. People • Places • Things will be on view from December 3, 2020 to January 15, 2021.
The way we relate to the world has shifted dramatically this past year. Our interactions with each other, objects, and our surroundings seem to be fundamentally changed. With that in mind, it feels important now more than ever before to take time to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of all the elements that make up our environment — even as our relationship to those elements fluctuates. People • Places • Things invites viewers to contemplate those relationships through this collection.
Tony Huynh grew up in the Bay Area and his personal connection to the area is palpable. "These paintings are to understand the interaction of shapes and color through observation, practice and experience. Part of my early memory was living and growing up in San Francisco and the imagery of the Bay Area reveals itself through shared memories, dreams, intuition or an immediate thought prior to the painting." Huynh's process plays off of the relationships between colors and shapes, he follows a natural- though often unpredictable- path to the finished work.
John Musgrove also depicts the iconic San Francisco landscape. Musgrove's approach is less abstracted than Huynh's, but both possess a kindred appreciation and candor for San Francisco scenery. Musgrove's paintings maintain a balance of simplicity and grandiosity that elevates his subject matter. Though The City has many postcard-friendly sights, it is the daily life and the ordinary elements that most frequently capture his attention.
Jeanne Vadeboncoeur shares this perspective with her whimsically simple still life paintings. From gummy bears to toilet paper, she focuses on banal items from everyday life in such a way that they feel transformed into elegant and at times mysterious objects. With incisive titles and compositions, Vadeboncoeur's subjects become humorous, comforting, cheeky — and everything in between.
Elena Zolotnitsky and Deirdre Leber both bring a potency and specificity to portraiture. While both artists are naturally distinct in their own way, they share a special ability to articulate the emotional intimacy and nuance of certain interactions and spaces. Leber and Zolotnitsky manage to make their subjects feel personal and known to the viewer despite their removed vantage point. Leber's paintings are a dialogue between the seen and the remembered, the planned and the surprised. Zolotnitsky's are an amalgamation of contemporary line and structure overlaid with light and colors reminiscent of the Old Masters style.
As we continue further in this new era, both individually and collectively, we hope that the familiar scenes offered in People • Places • Things provide visitors with both a comforting reflection of the past as well as a primer for an inviting and hopeful future, rooted in the things we recognize and cherish.

Anthony Corp was contracted to remove a dividing wall and turn our small kitchen and dining room into a good sized kitchen diner with new flooring, tiling and units.
It was evident from the start that Anthony was a skilled and knowledgeable builder. He kept us informed of progress or any problems that arose and gave sound advice when decisions had to be made.
We are extremely pleased with the results as our kitchen diner looks amazing.
Anthony is totally honest, very fair and unwilling to compromise on the quality of his work. He went out of his way to produce satisfactory solutions to problems and to avoid excessive costs. We count ourselves lucky to have found him.
We have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone needing a good builder and will be using him for any further building work we may require in the future.


Animal protection organization Humane Society International/Latin America is sending staff and delivering rescue supplies, including animal food and veterinary medicine, to areas in Costa Rica impacted by Tropical Storm Nate. Working alongside Costa Rica's Animal Health Department (SENASA) and the National Council of Animal Welfare the teams will focus on bringing relief to animals in rural communities that remain cut off and that lack supplies of water and electricity due to the storm.
Tropical Storm Nate has caused the deaths of at least 32,000 animals and displaced approximately 5,000 animals, according to SENASA, which is still completing its storm assessment.
The government and HSI/LA team will distribute boxes of emergency relief supplies donated by the public that include cat and dog food, blankets, beds, leashes and collars. HSI/LA is providing kennels, folding tables, gloves, cleaning supplies and medicine kits with veterinary and animal care supplies.
SENASA is urging Costa Ricans to donate animal food and supplies at their offices throughout Costa Rica. People can also deliver their in kind donations in response to the government request to HSI/LA's office in San Jose (Barrio Escalante, de la esquina este de la Iglesia de Santa Teresita, 100mts Este y 50 Norte, Casa #951). HSI is also accepting donations to support its work in this and other disasters via its International Disaster Relief Fund.


300 years of English Constitutional tradition comes to an end as Commonwealth nations approved changes to the rules of succession to allow first-born daughters to inherit the British throne. The changes to the outdated laws would also allow heirs who marry Roman Catholics to inherit the throne.
Female members of the Royal Family will be given equality with men in rules of succession to the throne.
It comes as historic constitutional changes were agreed unanimously by the 16 nations of which the Queen is monarch.
CNN's Richard Quest explains how the baby the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting will affect the royal family.
Theresa May can breathe a sigh of relief. On top of the terrorist threat and police commissioners, she does not have to add next year's royal birth to her in-tray.
Other home secretaries have not been so fortunate.
Back in 1926, Sir William Joynson-Hicks had to be present for the birth of the then Princess Elizabeth while he was also dealing with a bitter dispute in the coal mines.
A tradition, which goes back into the mists of time when it was the custom for government ministers to hang around the private apartments of royalty at significant moments, was abandoned in 1948.
So, the Duchess of Cambridge will be spared the indignity of a politician in the delivery room.
But this pregnancy, rather like the wedding in April 2011, will be far from private.
The couple would have liked to have delayed this afternoon's announcement by several weeks.
Kate is around two months pregnant. But William knew that once his wife was admitted to hospital, the world would have to be let in on their secret.
Before the news went global, the Queen and the Prince of Wales had to be told. The 86-year-old monarch will become a great-grandmother for the third time.
By the middle of next year, her heir will have to get used to a new title to add to the many others he has acquired through the years. Grandad.
When Charles is next seen in public he is bound to be asked for his reaction.
Those around him will be hoping he performs better than when the engagement was announced and William's father told reporters: "Obviously thrilled. They've been practising for long enough".
William and Kate will be delighted. They have talked about having a family from the moment their engagement was announced.
Their joy will obviously be tempered by concern over the morning sickness the duchess is suffering from.
Diana, Princess of Wales, suffered badly from morning sickness when she was pregnant with her elder son.
As well as their personal pleasure, the couple will know they are also living up to public expectations.
It is the great unsaid. As one historian put it, the first "duty and ambition" of someone in Kate's position is to get pregnant.
Their child will be third-in-line to the throne. Prince Harry, who will be an uncle, was told the news in Afghanistan, via e-mail.
His position in the order of succession will move down and his importance to the monarchy will reduce once the birth has taken place.
If the baby is a girl, the government believe she will make royal history.
They intend to change the ancient laws which place males ahead of females in the line of succession.
They want the first born, if she's a girl, to one day be queen.
As recently as June, Nick Clegg was insistent the change on gender would apply even if the birth was before legislation was actually passed.
The announcement on Monday will focus minds. The law needs to be changed in Britain and in the 15 other countries where the Queen still reigns.
When a royal is born, the parents do not just have to think about names but also titles. That is when it becomes complicated.
George V decreed in 1917 that the titles "Royal Highness" (HRH) prince and princess should be restricted to the children of the sovereign; the children of the sovereign's sons; and the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales.
Under this formula, a son for William and Kate would become a prince; but there's no provision for a daughter's title.
Despite this however, Buckingham Palace is insistent any girl will become a princess.
The challenge of names and titles is for the future.
For now, the hope in royal circles will be that the future of the monarchy has been secured for another generation.


Kate is a Life Coach who uses very practical methods to help her clients get results. People go to see her because they want to change something in their lives but might not know how to just yet.
She works with her clients focusing on where they are now, where they want to be and how they are going to get there, creating realistic and achievable action plans.
Melanie – Can you explain the difference between a therapist and a life coach?
Kate – In my experience therapists and counsellors, tend to deal with what happened in the past to affect your current life, they look at the areas you might be stuck on, what you need to resolve to be able to move forward. As a Life Coach, we are looking at where you are now, where you want to get to and how to make that happen. We are constantly looking forward and helping you focus on the end goal(s). I think it's a bit like being a personal trainer for your soul – someone that will accompany you on your journey, motivating you, encouraging you and supporting you to enable you to move forward.
When did you realise you wanted to be a life coach, it must be a vocation?
When I was made redundant in 2002 I had Life Coaching to help me move onto the next stage of my life and whilst coaching the Coach I was working with asked if I had ever considered becoming a coach. It was then I really thought about all my life experiences, the fact that I had always been someone that people had come to for help and looked into courses and qualifying.
It must be a rewarding job. When you experience great success with clients how does it make you feel?
It's a wonderful job and the job satisfaction is immense. The best feeling is when you have finished your sessions with a client, have seen them blossom and they are so excited to get out into the world armed with their new "tool kit" and tackle life again. I think my favourite testimonial was a client describing me as such "Kate when I walk through your door I feel like a tangled ball of wool, when I leave your sessions, I feel untangled and ready to go again" – how lovely is that that? It's the clients that do the hard work, I'm there as their support, their back-room team.
We all have the answers within us but sometimes we need them to be unlocked. Do people have similar patterns or are the cases unique?
Obviously, each client is unique but there are lots of situations that crop up regularly – often my job is to help people see the wood for the trees, to be the voice of reason, or the person that questions their reasoning. When they really start to think about what they want and not what they "think" they want or what they think others think they want, they unlock all sorts of potential in their lives – it really is very exciting.
How quickly can people start making change?
Depending on the goals they arrive with depends on how quickly they can make that change. Sometimes it's something very simple that just needs tweaking or a different perspective, other times it's a larger plan that needs greater thought and actions.
How do you avoid (or not ) troubleshooting in everyday life because people always talk of problems they are having wether its friends or family?
I've learnt to be quite firm with people particularly in social situations and make a joke about me being "off duty" which I discovered I needed to do otherwise complete strangers who had just learned of my job would want to off load! I always have time for friends but again, just make sure that the boundaries aren't blurred and I can support them as a friend rather than as a Life Coach. It's worked so far.
I absolutely love your concept of the walk and talk sessions. Brilliant idea! Tell us about them and how the idea came to you?
Living in glorious West Sussex I am lucky enough to live right by the sea and whenever I've needed to sort out one of my own problems, I've always walked it out. Even as a child, if I was struggling with something my Dad would take me for a "stomp" we'd walk and talk. When I started coaching I realised that for some people discussing personal issues was quite daunting and they found it much easier to walk along the beach with me, chatting, talking through the things they wanted to achieve. They didn't have to sit across a desk from me, it was less intense and they were also enjoying beautiful surroundings and getting some exercise. I've found it's been particularly lovely for people who perhaps are getting back on track after a life altering occurrence – divorce, serious illness etc. they have really benefited from talking, walking, breathing in the sea air. Each client then goes home with a list of actions to complete before the next session – it's great!
I'd LOVE to work with you, perhaps you could sample a Walk Talk so you'd know more about what I do AND if you're lucky I'll treat you to tea and cake at the fabulous café on the beach.

Shell developed this station design in the 1960s. The abstracted red chimney pylon between the office and service bays served as a sign tower. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.
This former Esso still carried the "Happy Motoring" motto when this photo was taken in 2003. It was closed then and for sale. The building was demolished around 2007. Part of the building was probably built in the 1950s. However, the Streamline details and lettering over the office might indicate that the office portion is older than that. The portion to the left of it might have been an addition. The bay building was also probably added later. The "Muziker Service" signage referred to the station's owner, Frank Muziker.
See this page for Pennsylvania stations using this design. If you know of any others, I'd love to hear from you.
A nearly identical Associated station existed in Aiea, HI. The Hawaii station was built in 1952 and was designed by Wimberly and Cook, a Honolulu firm. At that time, Associated was part of the the Tidewater Associated Oil Company. Tidewater built a lot of stations in New York using the Flying A name. It's possible that this design might have been reused by Tidewater in Ancram.

"To the lady who wanted to know how to make a green tomato pie. You make it the same as you would an apple pie. Chop up the tomatoes in your crust, add some sugar, a couple blocks of butter and a little bit of cinnamon, then put a top crust on, then you have your green tomato pie."
"I want to make a point: we need some radar or better police presence on Salem Avenue. These people are treating Salem Avenue like their own personal speedway."
"Isn't it interesting that one day after dogs are allowed to be walked in the parks, border- ing the park, but not in the parks, that two people interviewed in the paper were breaking the new law. They admitted it, that they were walking their dogs inside the park, and one didn't even have a leash on the dog. People like this that break the new law will make it hard for the ones who worked hard to get the law made, so you can at least walk your dog around the parks."
"The post office in Halfway is the greatest post office. The people in there are so nice. The two gentlemen have helped me in so many ways. The post office is very well appreciated. Also, about Bonnie and Clyde, the two little dogs at Bester, I think if they haven't been a problem, they should be able to stay. Children love dogs and if the dogs love the children, it probably makes the children happy. I think the vacation photos have been fantastic. I love looking at all the people and seeing where they have gone and I think it's absolutely wonderful that you guys put something like this in the paper. I wish everyone a happy day."
"I have a comment on Bill O'Reilley's opinion column in the Sept. 28 paper. He stated that children shouldn't have TVs and computers in their bedrooms because they are subjected to sexuality. Well, maybe so, but you can block sexual Web sites and even TV channels. You simply can't watch your kids 24 hours a day."
"On Sunday at Rest Haven Cemetery, a woman's wallet was removed from her car. If found, please put your number in the paper and we will call you immediately. A reward is being offered."
"Perhaps if more young children had the learning experience of a Bonnie and Clyde at school, acts of violence towards innocent animals will stop. Incidentally, in the Lifestyle section of Sunday's paper, Dr. Chris D refuted the negative views of some Mail Callers."
"After reading Sunday's paper, I am convinced more than ever that the hospital should remain in the city."
"Someone said that the old hospital would make a great headquarters for the Board of Ed because hospital rooms are a good size for an office, they have phone lines and power already there."
"If the lady that wanted the green tomato pie recipe would leave your number in Mail Call, I will be glad to call you and give it to you."
"Someone wanted the telemarketers' phone number; it is 1-888-382-1222."
"Can someone in the educational field answer my question. Is it true that the children are no longer required to pass the Maryland State Achievement math test? Please let me know."
"To the person who wanted to know about the 17-year-old boy and what would happen to him if he was put in a kennel with five or 10 pit bulls. Well, if he was put in a kennel with a pit bull like I have, he would get hugs and kisses and that's about it. It's people like that person that give these dogs a bad name."
"I really enjoy reading Ms. Parson's column from the Jonathan Street area. I don't live in that area, but I really enjoy reading her column."
"I would like to thank the person who found my daughter's purse at the Express Carwash and turned it in."
"I agree with the person who said that there needs to be traffic lights at Wal-Mart. At the very least, there should be some four-way stop signs out there before someone gets killed."
"I agree that the commuter buses shouldn't be shut down. But some time ago, there was some talk about having smaller buses. All the buses I pass seem to be as large as ever. Are there still plans for smaller buses? Wouldn't that cut down on the cost?"
"I think a word of thanks should be sent to American Red Cross for their assistance after Hurricane Isabel hit. If it hadn't been for them, I don't know what anyone would do without their help. I think these people are terrific and I think they should be given more credit than what they are getting."
"I wish people would stop complaining about the post office. We aren't perfect and neither are they. Stop complaining about getting mail for people who moved. There are a lot of substitute carriers that don't know who lives where. It's not their fault that someone moved seven years ago. Put your name on the mailbox and make it legible and maybe this won't happen as much. As for lost checks, the bank could be at fault, too; they could still be en route. The hurricane caused the Frederick plant and the main Baltimore post office to close, which automatically puts things behind. Get over it."

Yvo is a board game for two to nine players, that lets you practice with grammar in a playful manner. Yvo is similar to Scrabble or Wordfeud, but instead of composing words with letters, players compose sentences with words. The iPad is the gameboard on which the players put the words from their shelf into a gramatically correct sentence. The players determine mutually whether a sentence is grammatically correct. When putting a word, a player can change its form such as the conjugation or tense. Further, Yvo can speak out loud words and sentences, and players can look up its definition. Yvo is available for free in the App Store.

Robin Williams Passes Away at 63
Robin Williams, Academy Award winner and comedic genius that generated laughter from multiple generations, passed away on Monday in an apparent suicide at age 63. Police say that Williams was found unconscious due to asphyxia around noon at his home in California.
Born July 21, 1951, Williams started his career in the 1977 comedy Can I Do It 'Till I Need Glasses? but mainly stayed on the small screen before his big break in Good Morning, Vietnam. 3 years later he starred opposite Robert De Niro in the critically acclaimed movie Awakenings which also featured Vin Diesel in his first role. He went on to star as Genie in Aladdin and win an Academy Award for his role in Good Will Hunting. He was nominated for a further three throughout his career.
Williams went from strong to stronger and starred in some of the greatest children films of all time including Jumanji and Mrs. Doubtfire. At the time of his death a sequel to the latter was in the works. He has three more movies due for release: Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, Merry Friggin' Christmas, and Absolutely Anything.
If you try to name the top five classics that he acted in then people will no doubt criticise you for forgetting their favourites: Good Will Hunting, Aladdin, Good Morning, Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire, Awakenings, Flubber, Dead Poets Society, Jumanji. The list goes on. It's hard to say which was his greatest film, even to say which were his greatest. This truly great comedian will be missed. Williams leaves behind a wife and three children.

What others thought about "Anything You Want"
You don't need a visionary master plan, loads of funding or a brilliant team to start a business.
All you really need is GENEROSITY.
When Derek Sivers started CD Baby, he wasn't planning on building a major business. He was a successful independent musician who just wanted to sell his CDs online. He started in 1998 by helping his friends sell their CDs too. In 2000, he hired his first employee. Eight years later, he sold CD Baby for $22 million.
Sivers didn't need a business plan, and neither do you. You don't need to think big; in fact, it's better if you don't. Anything You Want will inspire you to start with what you have, care about your customers more than yourself, and run your business like you don't need the money.

Emmanuel Bordier Collection
Emmanuel Bordier has had an international professional career in the field of construction and urban planning, mainly in West Africa where he lived with his family for many years. Wanting to escape the arid contingencies of the profession, he became interested in local cultures and more particularly in traditional arts in the 1970s. Statuary, masks and other cultural material of the different ethnic groups were his major interests.
He was able to acquire original works of art, which often deviated from the classical aesthetic conventions, on the spot and in Europe. The paths he took led him to objects ranging from the simplest to the most complex, where only quality mattered.
The selection of objects offered here today shows a very personal itinerary, a sensitive testimony and as Emmanuel Bordier says: "an intimate breath on a marvellous cultural world, a spirituality which refers to the mysterious foundations of the human soul".
Max Lanci Collection
Max Lanci is a visual artist (drawing, sculpture, installation) who has been collecting African art for several decades. He acquired his first piece in 1977 when he was a young student. He built his atypical professional career around multiple activities: communication and strategy consulting, and of course artistic creation, through his work as an artist, but also the creation of magazines, the organization of concerts, exhibitions, and the restoration of heritage. During all this time, African art has never ceased to feed him.
About the set of Fon objects presented here, Max Lanci says: "they have constituted a resource in the same way as the Florentine Renaissance, the Arte Povera and the duchampian bric-a-brac: discovering and capturing little by little the snippets of a universe that seems closed in on itself, but whose stakes and modalities reveal the same deep humanity.
Collecting allows us to be accompanied by stimulating and fertile presences.
The work of creation finds there its account of interrogations and new possibilities, in terms of materials, on the formal level, in the gesture and the intuitions.
In the places of their genesis as well as among experienced collectors, voodoo objects from the Togo-Benin area occupy a singular place within African art, arousing clear-cut reactions: from epidermal aversion to possessive fascination.
Probably because, under appearances that seem to vary infinitely, they show themselves to be as rude as the reasons for their production are prevalent.
Each one of them conveys questions and attempts to answer them, worries accompanied by possible remedies. Each of them is a sign of the desire to live.

Antrodia contains many physiological active elements, such as Polysaccharides (beta-glucan), Triterpenoids, Superoxide dismutase(SOD), Adenosine, Protein (including immune proteins), Vitamins (Nicotinic acid, Ergosterol, Trace elements (Calcium, Phosphorus, Germanium), Nucleic acids, Lectins, Amino acids, Sterols, Lignin, blood pressure stable material (Antrodia acid) and so on. These activities functions include: anti-cancer, increase immunity, anti-virus, anti-allergy, anti-high blood pressure, inhibit platelet aggregation, lowering blood sugar, cholesterol, anti-bacteria, protect liver function and so on.
Actions: Supplementing qi, promoting circulation and removing stasis, detoxificating, supporting healthy immune system.
Suggested usage: For adults, take 3 capsules daily with warm water or juice, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
Antrodia camphorata mushroom is highly valued as a medicinal mushroom in Taiwan (known as Zhang Zhi or Niu-Zhang Zhi), where it is commonly used as an anti-fatigue, and liver protective supplement by folk people in Taiwan. The wild mushroom grown inside the decayed wood of camphor tree. Due to its high medicinal value, the mushroom is very hard to find and extremely expensive. 100 grams of wild harvested can cost more than 1,000 US dollars in the market. However, it is relatively unknown outside of Taiwan and virtually unknown in the Western world. The government has aided and sponsored a wide research for finding the correct method to let it grow in a controlled environment for many years. Now the method has been found and the cultivated mushroom is available.
A great deal of work has been carried out on A. camphorata. The list of bioactivities of crude extracts is huge. Over 200 compounds consisting of terpenoids, benzenoids, lignans, benzoquinone derivatives, succinic and maleic derivatives, in addition to polysaccharides have been identified. The Terpenoids variety exceeds all of the Reishi mushrooms speci combined. It is hoped that Antrodia mycelium are now widely used in Asia one day can act as an efficient alternative phytotherapeutic agent or a synergizer for healthy immune system support.
Antrodia camphorata has a wide range of traditional indications, including alcohol intoxication, cancer, hypertension, fatigue, viral infection and liver disease.
Experts in Pharmacology and Medical Sciences have studied antioxidative and hepatoprotective effects of Antrodia camphorata extract, clinical application of Antrodia camphorata Carpophore Extract in cancer patients, asthma, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), cardiovascular disease.
In Traditional Taiwanese Medicine, Antrodia is commonly used as a anti-cancer, anti-itching, anti-allergy, and liver protective drug. Scientific research has also shown that the mushroom can be useful in the treatment of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, hepatitis, and many types of cancers including liver, lung, cervical, colon, and breast cancers and also leukemia and adenoma.
Recent research from Taiwan has shown that Antrodia camphorata crude extract (ACCE) does indeed have strong activity against prostate, breast and bladder cancer. Kuan-Chou Chen et al. (2007) found that it inhibits prostate cancer cells and concluded that Antrodia camphorata due to its nontoxicity, might be used as a good adjuvant anticancer therapy for prostate cancers. Chiumg-Chi Peng et al. (2007) found that ACCE showed rather significant inhibitory effects on the growth and proliferation of invasive transitional bladder cell carcinomas cells. You-Cheng Hsu et al. (2006) reported that Antrodia exerts growth inhibition on highly-invasive estrogen-nonresponsive human breast cancer cells through apoptosis induction associated with COX-2 inhibition.

Vision loss in people over 40 is mostly linked to cataracts. Should you be worried?
Many reputable eye health experts will tell you that the cataract, which manifests itself as the clouding of the eye's natural lenses, is the leading cause of blindness all over the world so you it's no laughing matter. In fact, more than half of all Americans aged 65 and above have their vision impaired by cataracts. Losing one's vision is a scary ordeal, no doubt, which is why it's probably best to prepare yourself with proper information about cataracts instead of panicking or being caught unaware of the possibility. To help you with that, here are some of the basic facts about cataracts.
What do cataracts feel like?
According to sufferers of this condition, having cataracts feels like you're looking through permanently fogged-up glasses. This makes many vision-related tasks such as reading or driving more difficult. You may also experience some sensitivity to light, with some sources seeming brighter than usual. On the other hand, colors might seem duller than usual.
How do you develop cataracts?
Cataracts develop slowly when protein builds-up in the eye's lens makes it cloudy, preventing light from passing through the lens, therefore making it difficult to see things. Aside from naturally developing as you age, cataracts can also be congenital, complications from other medical conditions, or formed as a result of eye injury.
Cataract risk is also increased by smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, obesity, and significant exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The disease may also come as a side effect to prolonged or unmonitored used of certain medications. as well as to some treatment procedures.
How do you prevent or treat cataracts?
Eye doctors and other vision health experts still debate as to whether cataracts could actually be prevented altogether but certain studies have found that vitamin E and lutein-rich food and supplements may help decrease the risk of developing cataracts. Of course, improving one's general health by maintaining a healthy diet, managing other health problems, protecting the eyes from UV rays, and quitting smoking may contribute to slowing the development of cataracts.
That said, while it's still being questioned as to whether cataracts can truly be prevented, it's still important to have regular eye examinations when you reach age 40. This is to ascertain whether your vision can still be aided by new prescription glasses, or if you're a candidate for cataract treatment surgery.
It's generally agreed upon that once it seems that your new eyeglasses aren't improving your vision, surgery is currently the best treatment for cataracts. Cataract surgery, which involves taking out your clouded lens and replacing it with an intraocular lens (unless there are other existing eye problems where your doctor would suggest using contact lenses or eyeglasses instead), has a high success rate in the US and is typically done on an outpatient basis. This usually heals within 4-8 weeks.
It's true that having cataracts is a difficult experience but being armed with information means that you know what to expect and also how to deal with the problem as it comes. And when eye problems like cataracts or macular degeneration are concerned, a reliable and experienced optometrist like Dr. Hetel Bhakta can treat your condition as well as offer you great advice on how to take care of your eyes.
Residents of Lantana, Boynton Beach, or Royal Palm Springs may visit Dr. Bhakta at Planet Vision Eyecare in Greenacres, Florida to purchase sunglasses, get eyewear prescriptions, or have vision problems treated and diagnosed.

Bennett Arron's merging of material from his own life, his upbringing and family, religion and other unvoiced details, combined with his insight on a range of political and cultural topics make for one of the most exciting performances on the circuit. Bennett Arron is razor sharp in his delivery and explosive in his revelation of 'top secret' information. Charismatic and natural when encouraging audience participation, Bennett is delightfully artistic and paints a perfect night with his charm and wonderful Welsh wit. His intellectual discourse touches heavily upon identity fraud, owing to his own experiences as a victim of identity theft.
Sometime after the horrid incident, Bennett laughed it off when he devised his own show for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2005. He was a huge success at the Fringe and he was quickly asked to present How to Steal an Identity on Channel 4. The show saw him steal the identity of members of the British public and Charles Clarke, the former Home Secretary on its way to becoming the Pick of the Day programme in The Guardian and The Telegraph. It was described as: 'Fascinating and Disturbing' by the Times, and went on to be shortlisted for a BAFTA.
Bennett Arron is an award-winning writer and stand-up comedian, who bills himself as the only Jewish Welsh comedian on the circuit. He has performed all around the UK as well as entertaining audiences in Italy, Germany, Australia, Poland and Hong Kong. He recently supported Ricky Gervais on several of his tour dates. Bennett has written for many comedy programmes, including Hit The Road Jack with Jack Whitehall, in which he sent the young comedian galavanting around the country delivering his fun-filled stand-up and sketch show. He also wrote for the BAFTA-winning British game show, V Graham Norton.
His talent extends to writing for the toughest audience of all - children. Bennett has penned over 20 episodes and a feature film of Genie in The House, the highest-rated children's sitcom on Nickelodeon. He has also written for the BBC BAFTA Award-winning children's television show Slammer. Bennett has a stream of nicknames deriving from his popular stage shows. He calls himself,'The Jewelsh Comedian' and 'The Kosher Comedian.'Alongside the honorifics, Bennett has been described as 'one of the best on the circuit' by The Guardian.
"It seems to me that the art of the compere is a dying art. Too many performers 'turn their hands' to it as if it were a simple matter. However, in practice the need for sharp awareness of the potential for dead spots, to play off situations with a constant stream of ad libs and to control an audience without presenting 'the set' is no mean feat and one that, as a booker, I can say is in short supply. However, in Bennett Arron we have not only a gifted comedian, but also a man who appreciates just what it takes to compere a trade awards show, such as the Fraud Awards, and have the audience loving every single minute. Outstanding!" - Mark Emmott, Retail Knowledge (Media) Ltd

A heroin addict on every corner. Shuttered factories on the edge of every town. Race riots every few years. A completely, hopelessly, backward view of the world.
The unfortunate reality of a Bruce Springsteen song come to life.
That's the Midwest, or at least the Midwest of The Washington Post and The Atlantic. For a long time we were not part of the national narrative--we were more a species to be studied and cataloged, like the tortoises of the Galapagos.
Except sad tortoises--tortoises that didn't have the good sense to leave when their habitat started to shrink.
Then an election happened, and we became the national narrative. We became a people to be further studied, or hated for what we've done. Drug-addled, jobless tortoises, and the reason why America might start going down the tubes come Inauguration Day--that's who we are in the Middle.
Except that's not what it feels like to live in the Middle.
There are people in my community who struggle with heroin--but I also know addicts from high school who live on the coast and have never worked a factory job. Yes, I know people who are concerned about the economy and the future, and whose concerns were at the forefront of their mind when they voted this past November.
I know people like that because that description applies to literally every human being I know, no matter who they voted for.
And I know racists--here in the Middle we have racists, just like we have racists on the edges.
Like everywhere else, we have the bad here.
But we also have the good.
In St. Louis we have a thriving startup scene, where the top ten companies raised almost $300 million in 2016. We have incubators across the region, including one called OPO Startups that my wife manages--a job she got after being a stay-at-home mom for 12 years. Her employer saw the transferrable skillset of running a household, of helping young people grow and become the best version of themselves, and hired her to do the same thing for young companies.
It's hard to square my wife's role with a narrative that says the Middle is a place for cave dwellers, a narrative in which a woman--a Hispanic woman, no less--would never have that job here.
A cohesive narrative is built on what's excluded as much as what's included. If something doesn't fit within the narrative, it's left out. Put another way, if you insert hamburger into a cookie, it's no longer a cookie. You need to keep the hamburger out to understand and experience the cookie as a cookie.
Keeping out the stories of the good things happening here in the Middle makes sure the narrative of this election stays cohesive.
But maybe the truth of how the world is changing is far more complex than any simple narrative will allow.
And maybe the Middle is different than the way it's portrayed in The Atlantic.
It's a place where you might start your next venture while not having to worry about paying thousands of dollars a month to rent a shoebox of an apartment.
It's a place where the absence of cynicism extends to finding a mentor for your next big venture--a mentor you might never have access to in Palo Alto.
It's a place where I started a business and immediately discovered the community was rooting for me.
And in that way, it is like a place in a Bruce Springsteen song.

Six-Year Prison Sentence Against Teachers Union Leader Upheld After Pressure by Revolutionary Guards
Branch 36 of the Tehran Appeals Court has upheld the six-year prison sentence against Esmail Abdi, the chairman of the Iranian Teachers' Trade Association, confirmed Abdi in an interview with the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran.
Abdi said he believed the Appeals Court's decision was influenced by several alleged violations added to the indictment by the Sarallah Headquarters of the Revolutionary Guards. The alleged events, which took place while he was free on bail, were "purely professional and not political in nature," said Abdi.
"According to a ruling delivered to my lawyer on October 7 (2016), the six-year prison sentence issued by the preliminary court has been upheld on appeal," he said. "I have been given the maximum punishment for two charges: one year for 'propaganda against the state' and five years for 'collusion against national security.'"

"On June 1 (2016) my lawyer and I appeared at Branch 36 of the Tehran Appeals Court. At the end of the trial I asked for sentencing to be postponed so I could have a chance to show that our activities were purely professional and not political in nature. The Sarallah Headquarters, as the detaining authority, has had the wrong impression of our activities and has claimed that they were political in nature and directed against the state," Abdi told the Campaign.
The labor rights leader was arrested on June 27, 2015 by the Revolutionary Guards' Intelligence Organization, a week after being barred from leaving Iran to attend an international teachers' conference in Canada. In his preliminary trial, Abdi was sentenced in February 2016 to six years in prison by Judge Abolqasem Salavati of Branch 15 of the Revolutionary Court for "propaganda against the state" and "collusion against national security."
Abdi said the Revolutionary Guards had petitioned the Appeals Court alleging he had broken the terms of his conditional release by visiting fellow labor activist Jafar Azimzadeh in the hospital.
"The Sarallah Headquarters added a statement to my case that after my release on bail I did not stop my trade union activities. As examples, they mentioned my visits with Mr. Azimzadeh and my interviews with domestic and foreign media," he said.
Abdi was detained four times by security forces between 2006 and 2009 for his peaceful activism, and in 2011 he was given a 10-year suspended prison sentence by the Tehran Revolutionary Court for "propaganda against the state" and "revealing information about security matters."
Labor activism in Iran is seen as a national security offense; independent labor unions are not allowed to function, strikers are often fired and risk arrest, and labor leaders are consistently prosecuted under catchall national security charges and sentenced to long prison terms.
In addition to Abdi, several senior members of the Teachers Trade Association of Iran have been arrested, jailed or sent into exile, including Mahmoud Beheshti Langroudi, Ali Akbar Baghani, and Rasoul Bodaghi.
