Sapphires occur naturally in a variety of colors. Though most people imagine a deep blue when they think of a sapphire, the pink sapphire occurs in varying shades of light to dark, and sometimes with a purple hue. They're increasing in popularity as jewelry designers realize their unique beauty.
In some cultures, the pink sapphire symbolizes trust, loyalty and sincerity, and carries with it the power of deep love. Whether you're looking for a bold statement for your most elegant outfit, or a subtle sparkle for a romantic dinner in dim lighting, the sparkle and symbolism of pink sapphire earrings make them a beautiful choice to add to your jewelry collection.
HSN offers a collection of stunning women and girls earrings in delicate metal designs. Mounted in either gold or silver, the pink sapphire shines and sparkles in whatever shape it's placed. Its natural beauty is enhanced by other gemstones that show its real presence. If you're looking for a unique set of earrings that will be a great conversation piece, look at the HSN pink sapphire earrings collection. You, too, can tap into the symbolic power of the beautiful stone.

by Allen Grove
Dr. Allen Grove is an Alfred University English professor and a college admissions expert with 20 years of experience helping students transition to college.
University of Virginia is a public research university with an acceptance rate of 26%. Due to its many strengths, the University of Virginia ranks among the top Virginia colleges, top southeastern colleges, top national public universities, and top business schools. UVA is one of the most selective public universities in the country, and the university has one of the highest graduation rates among public universities.
Considering applying to UVA? Here are the admissions statistics you should know, including average SAT/ACT scores and GPAs of admitted students.
Why the University of Virginia?
Location: Charlottesville, Virginia (one of the nation's best college towns)
Campus Features: Established over 200 years ago by Thomas Jefferson, UVA has one of the most beautiful and historic campuses in the country. Jefferson's home at Monticello is nearby.
Student/Faculty Ratio: 15:1
Athletics: The University of Virginia Cavaliers (also known as the Wahoos and Hoos) compete in the NCAA Division I Atlantic Coast Conference.
Highlights: One of the top public universities in the nation, UVA has strengths spanning the arts, humanities, social sciences, and STEM fields. The school is an excellent value for in-state students.
During the 2017-18 admissions cycle, University of Virginia had an acceptance rate of 26%. This means that for every 100 students who applied, 26 students were admitted, making UVA's admissions process highly competitive.
Admissions Statistics (2017-18)
Number of Applicants 37,182
Percent Admitted 26%
Percent Admitted Who Enrolled (Yield) 39%
SAT Scores and Requirements
University of Virginia requires that all applicants submit either SAT or ACT scores. During the 2017-18 admissions cycle, 78% of admitted students submitted SAT scores.
SAT Range (Admitted Students)
25th Percentile
ERW 660 730
Math 670 770
ERW=Evidence-Based Reading and Writing
This admissions data tells us that most of UVA's admitted students fall within the top 20% nationally on the SAT. For the evidence-based reading and writing section, 50% of students admitted to UVA scored between 660 and 730, while 25% scored below 660 and 25% scored above 730. On the math section, 50% of admitted students scored between 670 and 770, while 25% scored below 670 and 25% scored above 770. If you compare SAT scores for top public universities, you'll see that only a few schools are equally selective. Applicants with a composite SAT score of 1500 or higher will have particularly competitive chances at University of Virginia.
The University of Virginia does not require the SAT writing section. Note that UVA participates in the scorechoice program, which means that the admissions office will consider your highest score from each individual section across all SAT test dates. SAT Subject tests are optional at UVA.
ACT Scores and Requirements
UVA requires that all applicants submit either SAT or ACT scores. During the 2017-18 admissions cycle, 41% of admitted students submitted ACT scores.
ACT Range (Admitted Students)
English 31 35
Math 28 34
Composite 30 34
This admissions data tells us that most of UVA's admitted students fall within the top 7% nationally on the ACT. The middle 50% of students admitted to UVA received a composite ACT score between 30 and 34, while 25% scored above 34 and 25% scored below 30.
UVA does not require the ACT writing section. Unlike many universities, University of Virginia superscores ACT results; your highest subscores from multiple ACT sittings will be considered.
In 2018, the average high school GPA for incoming University of Virginia freshman was 4.3, and over 95% of admitted freshman had average high school GPAs above 3.75. These results suggest that most successful applicants to UVA have primarily A and high B grades.

Admissions Chances
University of Virginia has a highly competitive admissions pool with a low acceptance rate and high average SAT/ACT scores. However, UVA has a holistic admissions process involving other factors beyond your grades and test scores. A strong application essay and glowing letters of recommendation can strengthen your application, as can participation in meaningful extracurricular activities and a rigorous course schedule. The admissions folks will be looking for students who have challenged themselves throughout high school rather than taking easy courses. High grades in Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Honors classes can all play an important role in the admissions process, for these classes provide a good measure of college readiness.
Even with an "A" average and strong standardized test scores, an applicant has no guarantee of admission. As the graph reveals, hidden beneath the blue and green of the graph is a lot of red. Many students with scores and grades that were on target for UVA were rejected. The opposite is also true: some students were accepted with test scores and grades a bit below the norm.
All admissions data has been sourced from the National Center for Education Statistics and University of Virginia Undergraduate Admissions Office.

Visual Means (VM) met on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:20-5:20pm with nine students and Professor Chantal Fischzang as the faculty member in charge. VM is a competitive Graphic Design elective, carried out as a design studio, in which faculty and students work together to collaborate with local and global researchers to provide educators with various means to define, analyze, visualize and transform their research through design solutions.
The class partnered with RU-N faculty members and researchers Patrick Shafto, Liz Bonowitz, Lewis Baker & Vanessa LoBue, to assist them with their project, the Mobile Maker Center (MMC). The MMC is a transportable environment that presents tools for assessing learning during exploratory play in order to study children's interactions with specially designed physical objects and computer-designed simulations. Visual Means designed an identity system for MMC that expresses the project's intentions and values, as well as promotional materials and display graphics that encourage parents' engagement and foster continuous involvement from the public.
During the semester, VM met with the MMC team four times at Express Newark, once at the MMC's laboratory and finally, at Rutgers Day when the project inaugurated. The VM team presented three rounds of design iterations and finally delivered a brand toolkit, signage designs, educational materials for public distribution, and a style guide for the future of the brand.
Visual Means and the MMC continued to communicate about the production of the design materials, which extended into the beginning of the Summer. The printing of identity collateral was handled by local printing company Color Screen Pros after Visual Means assisted with quotes, file-handling and pre-press. Additionally, flyers for the MMC's inauguration were printed at the ACM lab, with the assistance of Dana Damiani.

Q: Using Phonegap - Override Blackberry OnScreen keyboard "Next" and "Submit" buttons Using Phonegap - Override Blackberry OnScreen keyboard "Next" and "Submit" buttons.
I have created a phongap application which is a simple web form.
Platforms : Blackberry 10
Device :-  BB Q10
While entering the text in form fields there are three buttons that appear on blackberry "Previous", "Next" and "Submit".
When "Submit" is clicked, it causes the page to refresh.
Same Bug/functionality can also be seen when opening facebook sign up page on Blackberry browser.
How can I override the functionality of these two buttons using phongap, jQuery or may be develop a native blackberry plugin?
For Everybody's reference I m attaching an Image which shows these buttons

Note :- On a Blackberry 10 keyboard there are two "Submit" buttons one at the bottom which works fine and fires the form submit request and other one are these which is shown in image above and on clicking causes the page to refresh.
I also tried this using jQuery but the refresh fires even if I do a prevent default or stop propogation.
$( "#target" ).keypress(function( event ) { if ( event.which == 13 ) { event.preventDefault(); } $.print( event );

});
http://jsfiddle.net/M66un/

A: I just reiterated your question on the BB forums, and the answer I got was:

You can disable the bar by adding this to config.xml:
<preference name="HideKeyboardFormAccessoryBar" value="true"/>

It doesn't solve the problem of capturing/overriding the BB keyboard Submit button, but hiding the bar is sufficient for my needs, so I figured it might be for yours as well.

A: Based on your jsFiddle the root cause is that you have no submit action for your form. I have updated your jsFiddle to make the button replicate the behaviour of the form control.
You can fix the bahaviour by adding an action attribute to your form element ie <field action="foo" method="post">
If you want to disable the form control, you can do so from your config.xml but I do not believe it is possible to override them.

Julie Collins voted very strongly against a plebiscite on the carbon pricing mechanism
How Julie Collins voted compared to someone who believes that the federal government should hold a plebiscite to gauge whether citizens support or oppose introducing a carbon pricing mechanism (also known as a 'carbon tax')
Julie Collins
Supporters vote
Division outcome
15th Sep 2011 – Representatives Carbon Tax Plebiscite Bill 2011 - Second Reading - Read a second time
The majority voted against a motion to read the Carbon Tax Plebiscite Bill 2011 a second time.(Read more about the bill here. )
This means that the majority of members rejected the main idea of the bill and so it will not be considered any further.
Debate in Parliament
The bill called for a referendum to be held on 26 November 2011 on whether the Government should introduce the carbon pricing mechanism. It was introduced by Tony Abbott MP, the Leader of the Opposition, as a private member's bill.(Read MP Abbott's explanation of the bill here. )
Several Labor MPs described the bill as a "stunt".(Read their contributions here. )
Background to the bill
The carbon pricing mechanism is to commence on 1 July 2012.(More information on the carbon pricing mechanism and how it worked can be found on the Clean Energy Regulator's website.) It is an emissions trading scheme that puts a price on carbon emissions. It applies to "liable entities" (a group that includes companies that emit a high level of greenhouse gases). Initially the price of carbon will be fixed by the mechanism but from 1 July 2015 the price will be set by the market.
No Yes (strong) Not passed by a small majority
How "voted very strongly against" is worked out
The MP's votes count towards a weighted average where the most important votes get 50 points, less important votes get 10 points, and less important votes for which the MP was absent get 2 points. In important votes the MP gets awarded the full 50 points for voting the same as the policy, 0 points for voting against the policy, and 25 points for not voting. In less important votes, the MP gets 10 points for voting with the policy, 0 points for voting against, and 1 (out of 2) if absent.
Then, the number gets converted to a simple english language phrase based on the range of values it's within.
No of votes
Most important votes (50 points)
MP voted with policy 0 0 0
MP voted against policy 1 0 50
MP absent 0 0 0
Less important votes (10 points)
MP voted against policy 0 0 0
Less important absentees (2 points)
MP absent* 0 0 0
*Pressure of other work means MPs or Senators are not always available to vote – it does not always indicate they have abstained. Therefore, being absent on a less important vote makes a disproportionatly small difference.
Agreement score = MP's points / total points = 0 / 50 = 0.0%.
between 95% and 100% becomes "very strongly for"
between 85% and 95% becomes "strongly for"
between 60% and 85% becomes "moderately for"
between 40% and 60% becomes "a mixture of for and against"
between 15% and 40% becomes "moderately against"
between 5.0% and 15% becomes "strongly against"
between 0.0% and 5.0% becomes "very strongly against"

Blueberries, not fruit juice, cut type-2 diabetes risk
To Ward Off Diabetes, Eat Whole Fruit, Shun Fruit Juice
Blueberries, grapes and apples linked to lower risk of diabetes
Eating fruit significantly cuts diabetes risk - but drinking juice INCREASES it, says study

How to Reduce Your Risk of Diabetes: Cut Back on Meat
CUT your risk of diabetes
Eating more fruit, particularly blueberries, apples and grapes, is linked to a reduced risk of developing type-2 diabetes, suggests a study in the British Medical Journal.
Blueberries cut the risk by 26% compared with 2% for three servings of any whole fruit - but fruit juice did not appear to have the same effect.
The research looked at the diets of more than 187,000 people in the US.
But Diabetes UK said the results of the study should be treated with caution.
Researchers from the UK, US and Singapore used data from three large studies of nurses and health professionals in the US to examine the link between fruit consumption and the risk of contracting type-2 diabetes.
In these studies, 6.5% of participants (12,198 out of 187,382) developed type-2 diabetes.
The studies used food frequency questionnaires to follow up the participants every four years, asking how often, on average, they ate a standard portion of each fruit.
The fruits used in the study were grapes or raisins, peaches, plums or apricots, prunes, bananas, cantaloupe, apples or pears, oranges, grapefruit, strawberries and blueberries.
The researchers' analysis of the data showed that three servings per week of blueberries, grapes and raisins, and apples and pears significantly reduced the risk of type-2 diabetes.
While all fruit was shown to reduce the risk, these fruits appeared to be particularly effective.
The researchers said this could be due to the fact these fruits contain high levels of anthocyanins, which have been shown to enhance glucose uptake in mice. The same fruits contain naturally-occurring po Continue reading
Type 1 diabetes vaccine hailed as 'significant step'
It may be possible to reverse type 1 diabetes by training a patient's own immune system to stop attacking their body, an early trial suggests.
Their immune system destroys the cells that make insulin, the hormone needed to control blood sugar levels.
A study in 80 patients, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, showed a vaccine could retrain their immune system.
Experts described the results as a "significant step".
Normally a vaccine teaches the immune system to attack bacteria or viruses that cause disease, such as the polio virus.
We're very excited by these results, which suggest that the immunologist's dream of shutting down just a single subset of dysfunctional immune cells without wrecking the whole immune system may be attainableProf Lawrence Steinman, Stanford University Medical Centre
Researchers at the Stanford University Medical Centre used a vaccine with the opposite effect - to make the immune system cease its assault.
In patients with type 1 diabetes, the immune system destroys beta cells in the pancreas. This means the body is unable to produce enough insulin and regular injections of the hormone are needed throughout life.
It is a different disease to type 2 diabetes, which can be caused by an unhealthy diet.
The vaccine was targeted to the specific white blood cells which attack beta cells. After patients were given weekly injections for three months, the levels of those white blood cells fell.
'New concept'
Blood tests also suggested that beta cell function was better in patients given the vaccine than in those treated only with insulin Continue reading
More weight loss operations for diabetes
An expansion of weight loss surgery in England is being proposed to tackle an epidemic of type 2 diabetes.
New draft guidelines from the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) aim to reduce debilitating complications.
Diabetes UK estimates 850,000 people could be eligible for surgery, but NICE expects it to be tens of thousands.
Type 2 diabetes is closely linked to lifestyle and obesity.
Wales and Northern Ireland are not bound by the guidance, but do tend to follow them closely.
The inability to control blood sugar levels can result in blindness, amputations and nerve damage.
A mounting body of evidence suggests a gastric bypass improves symptoms in around 60% of patients.
Around a tenth of NHS budgets is spent on diabetes.
The surgery can cost between £3,000 and £15,000 and the move by NICE has raised concerns that the NHS will not be able to afford the treatment, even if there are savings in the longer term.
Current guidance says surgery is an option for people with a BMI above 35 who have other health conditions.
What is bariatric surgery?
Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is used as a last resort to treat people who are dangerously obese and carrying an excessive amount of body fat.
This type of surgery is only available on the NHS to treat people with potentially life-threatening obesity when other treatments have not worked.
Around 8,000 people a year are currently receiving the treatment.
The two most common types of weight loss surgery are:
Gastric band, where a band is used to reduce the size of the stomach so a smaller amoun Continue reading
Statin scam exposed: Cholesterol drugs cause rapid aging, brain damage and diabetes
(NaturalNews) Statins, the widely prescribed class of drugs said to lower "bad" cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart problems, has recently come under fire after a study revealed that they destroy human health more than they work to improve it.
Sadly, many people take statin drugs, which are commonly known by brand names including Lipitor, Crestor and Zocor. Prescription drug spending in the U.S. shot up to about $374 billion in 2014, representing the highest level of spending since 2001. Statins undoubtedly made up a significant portion of this spending, and now consumers who take such drugs have much more to worry about than the dent it's making in their wallets.
The study, which was published in the American Journal of Physiology, states that statins' "...impact on other biologic properties of stem cells provides a novel explanation for their adverse clinical effects." Specifically, the study states that such adverse effects include advancing the "process of aging" and also notes that "...long-term use of statins has been associated with adverse effects including myopathy, neurological side effects and an increased risk of diabetes." Myopathy refers to skeletal muscle weakness.
Statins make cells unable to repair properly, create nerve problems and destroy memory
Experts involved in the study suggest that the health problems associated with statins have likely been downplayed through the years. In reality, those taking such cholesterol-lowering drugs have been experiencing cataracts, fatigue, liver problems, muscle pain and memory loss. Simply put, the drugs have bee Continue reading
Scientists Have Created a Painless Patch That Can Control Diabetes Without Injections
Scientists have been struggling for decades to free diabetics from regular insulin injections. One of the main goals has been to figure out how to transplant healthy beta cells - the insulin-producing cells that fail as a result of diabetes - into patients, but this is an invasive procedure in itself that comes with the risk of rejection.
Now researchers have come up with a simpler option - they've created a synthetic patch that's covered in natural beta cells, which can be stuck painlessly to a patient's skin to secrete insulin when it's required and safely control blood sugar levels, no injection or monitoring required.
The patch hasn't been tested on humans as yet, but it's already been shown to safely control the blood sugar levels of mice for at least 10 hours at a time, and the concept is an upgrade of the 'smart insulin patch' that was reported last year by the same team.
The main difference is while the previous patch contained synthetic insulin, the new patch contains real, live beta cells, which means it's able to more safely manage a patient's blood sugar levels for longer, without the risk of over- or under-doing it.
And because the beta cells are kept on a patch safely outside of the patient's body, there's no chance of them being rejected by the immune system.
"This study provides a potential solution for the tough problem of rejection, which has long plagued studies on pancreatic cell transplants for diabetes," said lead researcher Zhen Gu from the University of North Carolina. "Plus it demonstrates that we can build a bridge between the physiological signals Continue reading

But according to a new study, nature's candy may reduce the risk for developing diabetes. The observational study, published in ...

People who ate three standard servings a week of blueberries had a 26% lower ...

Statins increase the risk of developing diabetes in at-risk people
Among susceptible individuals, statins — which are a common cholesterol-lowering medication — could increase the risk of type 2 diabetes by 30 percent. These new findings are sure to reignite debate. Statins lower cholesterol by reducing its production in the liver. They do this by blocking an enzyme called hydroxy-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase, which is involved in its manufacture.

Q: linux copy files recursive with file's suffix name only cp is the Linux command for copying files with support of recursively mode with cp -a <from> <to>
How about if I want to copy recursively with -a, and only *.c *.h such as kernel source.
Is there any linux commands that can achieve this?

A: Your question is not very clear. You should provide example of what you exactly are trying to achieve.
cp can copy recursively via -r or -R or --recursive flags
-a in cp:
       -a, --archive
              same as -dR --preserve=all

to copy files from one directory with specific ext:
cp -r *.c destination/
cp -r fromcomefolder/*.h destination/

If you however need to find recursively all *.c files, from different source folders, and then copy them, cp is not your best friend. Or at least you will need other helper programs.

Olympique Lyonnais and Benfica face each other at the Groupama Stadium
Olympique Lyonnais and Benfica face each other at the Groupama Stadium in a game from Group G of the Champions League. We will follow this French-Portuguese clash in our Champions League predictions.
The situation in this group looks very interesting, because all of the four teams are separated by just three points at the moment. Olympique Lyonnais are currently third with 4 points, being on par with the second Zenit. Meanwhile Benfica are fourth with three points, but a win in France could allow the Portuguese giants to make a big climb in the standings.
When these two teams met two weeks ago at the Estadio da Luz in Lisboa, Benfica celebrated a 2-1 win over Les Gones. Rafa Silva opened the score for Benfica after just four minutes of playing, but Memphis Depay equalised for the Frenchmen. It was Pizzi who secured the win for the Eagles just five minutes before the end of the match.
Now it's time to revenge for Olympique Lyonnais. This is going to be Rudi Garcia's second game in the Champions League since he replaced the sacked Sylvinho. And maybe it's time for a first win?
Rudi Garcia already enjoyed his first two wins in the French Ligue 1. In their last two matches in the league Olympique Lyonnais achieved wins over Metz (2-0) and Toulouse (2-3). For Garcia it was a difficult beginning at his new club, but now he seems more confident.
Meanwhile Benfica are flawless in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. The Eagles are performing amazingly good, having a record of 9 wins and one loss from 10 games played. Right now they have 5 points advantage in front of the 2nd Porto.
That's our Champions League predictions for the match between Olympique Lyonnais and Benfica on Tuesday. Both teams are pretty close to each other in the group standings and both teams are doing good lately in their domestic leagues, so we expect a really competitive game here. It's going to be unpredictable!

Making a Case for the Connected Farm
For most, Microsoft isn't a company name synonymous with agriculture.
"Most would be surprised to learn of the investment Microsoft is making in both technology and initiatives around sustainability, people-skilling, and bringing connectivity to rural areas" says Microsoft Director Azure Strategic Partnerships, Claudia Roessler, in a recent AGI SureTrack CoffeeTalk. "We work with organizations that want to bring tech and digital services to the ag industry."
As part of the engineering group working to build the ag platform roadmap for Microsoft's FarmBeats, Roessler helps ag companies build digital strategies that rely on aggregated data to solve specific production problems. And in her newest role as board member for Ag Growth International (AGI), Roessler is helping to steer ag technology and on-farm solutions with her expertise in software development and digital services and her global view of the agriculture industry.
"It's not about bringing products to customers. It's about bringing services to customers,"
she says of a farmer's need to find value in the ag technologies they adopt. "When you look at AGI's SureTrack, it is one of the most comprehensive suites I have seen; it really takes farm management that looks into the farm aspects and the financial aspects and puts them together in a wholistic suite," and shares that she is excited about what is to come when the possibilities of Microsoft and AGI's deep expertise in agriculture and equipment are leveraged to work together.
Roessler also says that she sees ag tech remaining a scattered market for the foreseeable future, noting the drivers that continue to segment the space.
"From my perspective, there are two things happening. One, it's a pretty new industry; we think of agriculture as being 10,000 years old — and it is — but ag tech is only a few years old. It's normal in the beginning to have many players, and it's important because those many players drive fast innovation. Secondly, the industry somewhat is still in the first stage – a stage of (data) "gathering". From there, we are moving beyond gathering data to finding insights,," she says. "The true value is though, when you go from insights to predictions. So instead of seeing what's happening now, data will tell me that there is something that is going to happen. But to get to this stage, it's important that all of this information isn't sitting in silos that can't be accessed. That's where we are today, and farmers are frustrated by it."
And to be clear, Roessler notes that Microsoft has been working in the agriculture sector for far longer than five years, but she bases her estimation on the monumental advancements and value propositions delivered to the farm over the past five years.
A connected farm is a farm that can solve the specific problems an operation has, and those problems vary across the size, crop, scale and sectors that make up the production agriculture landscape. Roessler cites in the conversation an apple grower delivering decades of management experience, combined with precision agriculture.
"The connected farm isn't about replacing those (experienced) individuals; it's about bringing all of that data together to allow you to collect just enough information to solve the problem," she says. "It's about creating a feedback loop that tracks our decisions, all influencing factors and over time allow us to learn, improve our practices and find what matters for your farm.
And some of the most significant technology advancements only happened in the last decade – such as processing large amounts of data at the speed and cost needed – such as genomics or large amounts of image data," Roessler says.
As an example, Roessler shares the vast improvements seen in imagery data in just the past few years. She cites a 2017 initiative in which the Microsoft environmental sustainability team worked with the Chesapeake Land Conservatory to update their maps by using image recognition and satellite images. The team was able to update seven-year-old maps, which previously were updated manually and were at 30 meter resolution. The team brought the maps down to 1 meter resolution in only a few days by using satellite image data.
"Today, that same Microsoft team is launching a Planetary computer, that will help with what can be observed by images such as climate, bio diversity and agriculture challenges such as Predicting pest infestations, surplus rainfall, drought conditions, and other atmospheric trends," she says.
Yet another Microsoft team is tackling the challenges of rural connectivity, using TVWS TV White space or the unused broadcasting frequencies between television channels, to transmit data on farms where there is no broadband available. TVWS is both a cheaper and faster way to deploy internet connectivity, compared to traditional fiber, and the technology can travel long distances.
The FarmBeats platform then brings different data inputs such as from satellite, drones or sensors and allows for decision-making opportunities.
All of these solutions create viable opportunity for improvement on the farm, and as more technologies are adopted, they become more affordable.
Connecting the Value Chain
Roessler says that every farm should be thinking about the things they are growing and doing on the farm, and where data collection can make a difference – not just on the farm, but in the value chain.
"A connected farm goes beyond the farm," Roessler says. "We see that with AGI SureTrack, it's about seed and harvest and storage, but it's also about what the goal is for the grain beyond the farm and bringing in external data to make those decisions."
Knowing the value of grain, even before the seed meets the soil, being able to make the management decisions needed to maintain grain characteristics throughout growing, harvest and storage and then having the ability to share that story with the rest of the value chain and the end consumer is where Roessler says farms can find the greatest value from a connected farm.
And if you think about grain in another, context, perhaps as a high-quality leather article, Roessler says the value of that story becomes even clearer.
"If I'm a seller of a high cost leather article, is it worth being able to trace back to the farm the leather came from? Absolutely. That's how I prove authenticity, sustainability and that it was ethically produced," she says.
And from a food safety perspective, being able to trace back to a specific field, rather than a region, is a huge advantage for every stakeholder in the value chain.
"What we are going to see is a combination of having good data—from strategic sensors and probes on the farm—and then we augment the missing piece with data and analytics," says Roessler. "One thing about value chains, once established, you get so much use out of it."
Roessler shares a Microsoft case study involving the company's work with coffee-giant Starbucks' coffee-grower program. The goal, from the outset, was to show the consumers, where their cup of coffee comes from, and that Starbucks' coffee beans were sustainably grown and ethically sourced. The culmination was a connection between the farmer, consumer and a cup of coffee.
"What they did was establish a connection with the value chain, and what happened was that they improved consumer experience, and being able to show farmers where their coffee beans were going had a direct and significant impact on their motivation and satisfaction to grow for Starbucks. But, perhaps what's even more important and differentiating are the potential benefits for coffee farmers to know where their beans go after they sell them. Starbucks is sourcing coffee from 380,000 farmers ," she says. "Once you establish it (a value chain), it is an investment and there are multiple ways for it to pay back because it involves many, many players."
At the end of the day, Roessler says that farm size doesn't really matter; it's about being able to make better decisions, finding a trusted party to aggregate data and using those gained insights to accomplish the goals of your operation. It isn't all about high-tech, but rather making the technology and collected data you do have work for you.
"It's about problem solving, not technology," she says.

I recently got a companion card for The Wife. It is linked to my main OCBC (Oversea Chinese Banking Corporation) credit card.
I have my card set up so that it is paid automatically in full each month through GIRO (a system allowing for electronic interbank payments to various billing companies like utilities, traffic fines and the like).
i assumed (wrongly) that since I was ultimately responsible for paying companion card debts, that it would be handled through the existing GIRO arrangement. Nope. I had to apply for another GIRO arrangement for the companion card.
Okay, no biggie. But not totally straightforward, either. They sent us each an oddly shaped companion to the companion card, so now there are 3 credit card numbers - the original companion card number plus these new ones.
I applied online for the GIRO payment. The interface is okay, but not brilliant. Where should I go for my GIRO application - "GIRO" or "Application"?
I found the form and happily filled it in. I felt I should put a payment limit in case there was a fraud attempt. Then I didn't know which credit card number to apply (the Bill Reference Number) for since my online account only has one number for the companion card.
Payment Limit − you can use this to set a maximum amount which the Billing Organisation can deduct from your deposit account. If the amount requested exceeds this limit, the deduction will not be processed.
Why not include the directive about payment limit on the form, rather than above it?
Better still, why not program the form so that the limit box does not appear?
Why reject the application with a limit? Just ignore it and inform the customer in the confirmation letter.
Why so many numbers, yet billing only involves 1 number?
I finally got confirmation for one of the numbers so I'm not sure if that will suffice. Will have to wait for the next billing cycle.

Industry Agenda
Why obesity threatens the global economy
Boyd Swinburn Professor of Population Nutrition and Global Health Read, University of Auckland
In 2010, humanity passed an important milestone. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study, published in the British medical journal The Lancet, obesity became a bigger public-health problem than hunger.
Today, according to the latest edition of the study, more than 2.1 billion people – nearly 30% of the global population – are overweight or obese. That is nearly two and a half times the number of adults and children who are undernourished. Obesity is responsible for about 5% of deaths worldwide.
This crisis is not just a pressing health concern; it is also a threat to the global economy. The total economic impact of obesity is about $2 trillion a year, or 2.8% of world GDP – roughly equivalent to the economic damage caused by smoking or armed violence, war, and terrorism, according to new research by the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI).
And the problem is likely to worsen. If the current trend continues, almost half of the world's adult population will be overweight or obese by 2030. As World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Margaret Chan has noted, "Not one single country has managed to turn around its obesity epidemic in all age groups." According to the OECD, from 2000 to 2013, the prevalence of obesity increased by at least 0.5% per year in 130 of the 196 countries for which data were collected.
This global epidemic is not confined to advanced countries. As emerging economies climb out of poverty, their citizens are becoming fatter. More than 60% of the world's obese people live in developing countries, where rapid industrialization and urbanization are boosting incomes and therefore calorie intake. In India and China, the prevalence of obesity in cities is 3-4 times the rate in rural areas.
Indeed, the evidence suggests that developing countries are especially vulnerable to the epidemic. Obesity rates tend to explode in countries where food was once scarce and suddenly becomes plentiful. In the mid-twentieth century, for example, a boom in phosphate mining transformed the Micronesian island state of Nauru from a land of food shortages and starvation to the world's leader in obesity and type-2 diabetes. In 2005, according to the WHO, 94% of men and 93% of women in Nauru were overweight, and more than 70% of the population was obese.
To make matters worse, in countries with limited public-health services, the cost of health care falls directly on the afflicted households. As a result, obesity can lock in poverty and perpetuate inequality.
Through a review of 500 intervention trials around the world, MGI has identified 74 potential interventions that could be used to address obesity. These include subsidized school meals, urban design that encourages walking, better nutritional labeling, restrictions on the advertising of high-calorie food and drinks, and fiscal measures.
Education concerning the risks of obesity is important, as is taking personal responsibility for one's health, fitness, and weight. But all the evidence shows that relying on knowledge about obesity and willpower is not enough to offset the evolutionary instinct to overeat. These effects are compounded by lifestyles that require little or no physical activity.
People need help, and that means changing the environmental forces shaping their decisions – by, say, reducing standard portion sizes, altering marketing practices, and designing cities and educational establishments to make it easier for people to exercise or be active.
MGI was able to collect enough data on 44 of the 74 potential interventions to develop an initial assessment of their impact if they were scaled up to a national level. If the United Kingdom, for example, were to deploy all 44 interventions, it could rein in obesity rates and help roughly 20% of its overweight and obese population return to a healthy weight within 5-10 years.
Over the long term, savings from reduced health-care spending and gains from higher productivity could outweigh the investment needed to deliver interventions. In the UK, reversing obesity trends could save the National Health Service about $1.2 billion a year.
For many countries, tackling obesity will require a national – if not global – effort. Only a coherent, sustained portfolio of initiatives, implemented on a large scale, will be effective. No single entity – government, retailers, consumer-goods companies, restaurants, employers, media organizations, educators, health-care providers, or individuals – can address obesity on its own.
We do not yet have all the answers when it comes to the best way to tackle obesity. But the rapid rise in obesity rates around the world creates a strong case for experimenting with interventions, to see what works. Today, investment in obesity research worldwide amounts to some $4 billion a year – just 0.2% of the estimated social costs of obesity. We can – and must – do more.

NY Senator: NYPD Commissioner Wanted to 'Instill Fear' in Young Men of Color w/ Stop and Frisk
New York State Senator Eric Adams testified in federal court that NYPD police commissioner Ray Kelly wanted the Stop and Frisk program to "instill fear" in young black and Latino men.
Adams pointed to a conversation in 2010, in which he expressed to Kelly that the program disproportionately targeted young men of color.
Kelly essentially responded that that was precisely the point.
From RT:
Kelly "stated that he targeted and focused on that group because he wanted to instill fear in them that every time they left their homes they could be targeted by police," Adams said.
He said Kelly justified his reasoning by asking, "How else would we get rid of guns?"
"I was amazed," Adams said in court. "I told him that was illegal."
Under Kelly and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg the NYPD has stopped an estimated 4.4 million people, most of whom have been in the demographic Kelly allegedly described to Adams. The policy allows officers to stop pedestrians on the street if they perceive that person is on the way to committing a crime, is in the process of committing a crime, or leaving the scene of a crime. Roughly 94 per cent of the stops result in no charges.
The City Attorney responded to Adams' claims by questioning his recollection of the conversation, and asserting that Kelly intended to say that the program would "instill belief," rather than fear, that they'd be targeted by police.

Cats and Dogs come in all shapes and sizes and our range of measurements are designed as a simple guide to ensure the correct size selection. The most critical measurement is the approximate length of a pet from nose to base of tail when laying down. Although our Cocoons are adjustable, it is important that pets are measured in accordance with this chart.
If any of your pet's measurements are above our size guidelines or if you have any doubt it is better to select the next size up. If unsure please consult your Vet or contact us for further advice.


Sparking the creative process without the use of drugs or alcohol is a very important step in early recovery. Restarting the imagination takes internal motivation, work, and coaching. One of the by-products of addiction is poor self-expression. Coming out of this thought pattern is difficult, so discussion and encouragement are needed to begin the process of playing or writing music. Playing music in a healthy environment is a new experience, and practicing self-expression while allowing thoughts to flow freely without fear can feel quite foreign at first.
At Little Creek Lodge in Pennsylvania, we encourage and support residents in their creative endeavors, and help them on their quest to find their voice. Our music studio offers a fun and unique way to create something beautiful and meaningful, in a safe and secure environment. Our residents are encouraged to try new things, and to experience the joys – and frustrations – that come with the creative process.
Residents can use the music room for practice. When a resident is ready to record a project, we call in an engineer who guides resident in the recording process. The prospect of editing, mixing, and mastering a piece of music is really exciting. We try to create a CD per year that is devoted to the writings and recordings of the residents. The process helps to provide feelings of accomplishment. There is great satisfaction found in the experience of completing a task from beginning to end, and residents take pride in their success.
Rehab Recordings was created as a beacon for those who come to Little Creek to begin their recovery and explore their musical abilities in that process. Learning how to express oneself musically in sobriety can be a challenging process. Sometimes if you see it done you can do it.
Our musical projects are created by Little Creek residents with the goal to inspire others who are recovering from drug or alcohol addiction to follow their creative paths. Residents involved in the project became a part of something that helped both themselves and others along the journey of life.
Few things move the soul like music. At Little Creek Lodge, we encourage our residents to let themselves be moved by the creative process, and by the end results. To learn more about how we use music in conjunction with tested clinical care to help people suffering from addiction, please call 877-689-2644, or fill out our contact form to learn more.

Global Holdings has landed a $400 million refinancing package from HSBC. Eyal Ofer's company received the money for its building at 120 Park Avenue in Midtown. The deal extends $374.6 million in debt from HSBC's 2014 loan on the property, which Global Holdings bought from Altria 12 years ago for $525.8 million. [CO]
An artistic duo removed their art from the Shed in Hudson Yards to protest Stephen Ross. Zachary Drucker + A.L. Steiner pulled their work from the "Open Call, Group 2" exhibition at the Shed to protest the recent fundraiser that Ross held for President Donald Trump. Steiner told the Observer it had already been difficult for her to take part in the exhibit because of the massive tax breaks Hudson Yards received, and Ross' Trump fundraiser was the last straw. [Observer]
Bill de Blasio is pushing for a plan that would limit hotel development. The mayor has asked the Department of City Planning to develop a proposal that would outline the implementation of a special permit for hotel development throughout the city. The move could subject new hotel projects to the city's land use review process, making the hotel development process one of the strictest in the city. [Crain's]
Johnston & Murphy is opening a store in Staten Island's Empire Outlets. The shoe store has signed a 10-year lease for 2,564 square feet on the third floor of the mall. The factory store plans to open by early next year and will join tenants including Nike, H&M and Banana Republic. [CO]
IWG CEO Mark Dixon
IWG wants to launch a new company that will challenge WeWork. The shared-office-space provider's chief executive Mark Dixon is planning to spin off part of the company into a separate business that would be publicly traded in the U.S., and compete with WeWork. The plan is still in its early stages, but Dixon believes such a company could be worth about $3.7 billion, and the firm will only hire bankers if they do not have a role in the We Company's Initial Public Offering. [Sky News]

Stephen Ross thinks a housing slowdown is coming. Ross made his comments during an interview with Yahoo Finance, saying that the real estate industry is "certainly not starting something fresh. You know, we're at a point now where I think there will be a slowdown because it has to happen." [Yahoo Finance]
Trump's name might be downplayed at the Trump International Hotel and Tower. The Trump Organization is considering giving top billing at the property to its Manhattan address of One Central Park West, while the Trumps would keep managing the property and keep the family name on signs for the property. The proposal is meant to head off demands from some owners to get rid of the Trump branding in its entirety. [NYT]
Another factor in gentrification? Trendy grocery stores, a new report says. There is a fairly strong correlation between home prices and the location of grocery stores like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, Yahoo News reported, citing a study from Zillow and ATTOM Data Solutions. People selling a home near a Trader Joe's saw a 51 percent average return on investment, while those selling a home near a Whole Foods saw an increase of 41 percent. Houses near the two chains start to appreciate faster once the stores move in and do so twice as quickly as an average home in the United States. [Yahoo News]
The Port Authority had to leave its WTC headquarters after a power outage. The outage happened after a bus duct failed at 4 World Trade Center on Tuesday around 3:15 a.m., according to Crain's. The issue left the building without air conditioning on an extremely hot summer day, so the Port Authority told its employees to work from home. The air conditioning system was working again on Friday, and staffers are expected to return to their offices on Monday. [Crain's]
The Department of Investigation is looking into the fatal Manhattan elevator accident. The agency announced on Friday that it would open a probe into the death of 30-year-old Samuel Waisbren, who was fatally crushed by an elevator at 344 Third Avenue. The Real Deal found that an elevator test that took place three weeks before Waisbren's death had deemed the car safe to operate. [NYP]
The city is expanding its investigation into a massive shelter operator. The investigation into Acacia Housing Network is expanding following the Department of Investigation's realization that there may have been more undisclosed ties to an additional for-profit company. [WSJ]
There were 14 luxury contracts totaling roughly $127 million signed in Manhattan last week. The number of contracts and dollar volume were both down from the week before, when the market saw 19 contracts signed for about $162 million. The properties spent an average of 565 days on the market and had an average discount of 11 percent from the original to the final asking price. [Olshan]
Brooklyn's luxury market saw seven contracts signed last week for a total of roughly $17.8 million. The market was down from the prior week, when 13 contracts were signed for about $34.8 million. The average contract price was about $2.5 million, and the properties spent an average of 243 days on the market. [Compass]
