In the aftermath of the food price crisis of 2007/08 and the ensuing repeated price volatility, the annual medium-term outlook exercise carried out in partnership with the FAO has proven extremely valuable to policy-makers and market analysts. Special features on China, India and Brazil have enabled a deeper understanding of these major players on world markets. The 2016 edition of the Outlook will focus on the prospects for food and agriculture markets in Sub-Saharan Africa. In recent years, OECD has acquired short-term market outlook expertise through participation in the Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS – led by FAO). Motivated by governments' needs to develop robust and flexible policy strategies to deal with risks and uncertainties surrounding the long-term future of the agriculture and food sector, OECD has developed an "alternative futures" exercise, based on scenario analysis.
During 2011, under the auspices of the French Presidency of the G20, OECD and FAO led a group of international organisations in the preparation of a report entitled Price Volatility in Food and Agricultural Markets: Policy Responses. This report included comprehensive recommendations to governments on actions, long- and short-term, to be taken to prevent or reduce volatility and to mitigate its consequences. OECD's participation in the AMIS, which concentrates on policy drivers of short-term market developments, grew out of this G20 collaboration. Based on in-depth study of policy responses to the food price crisis and drawing on the different modelling tools at its disposal, OECD has contributed to ongoing reflections about the impact of different types of policies – export and import restrictions, biofuel support – on markets, trade and prices, including on price volatility.
Responding to ongoing concerns about market structure – concentration and non-competitive practices, the committee has facilitated dialogue with business and civil society interests through the Food Chain Analysis Network and has surveyed governmental responses to the 2007/08 food price hikes and continuing subsequent volatility.

German cabinet backs €50M hate speech fines for social media firms
Natasha Lomas	@riptari / 3 years
The German cabinet has backed proposals to hit social media firms with fines of up to €50 million if they fail to promptly remove illegal hate speech from their platforms — within 24 hours after a complaint has been made for "obviously criminal content", and within seven days for other illegal content.
The draft law would also see individuals from companies facing fines of up to €5M for any criminal content removal failures.
In a statement today [translated via Google Translate], German Justice Minister Heiko Maas said: "The providers of social networks are responsible when their platforms are abused to spread hate criminality and criminal false news. There can be just as little space on social networks for criminal acts as on the street. To do better, we owe the victims of hate criminality. The Internet is characterized by the debate culture and the social climate in our country. Verbal radicalization is often the precursor to physical violence."
"Freedom of expression ends where criminal law begins," he added.
Germany has specific hate speech laws which criminalize certain types of speech, such as incitement to racial violence. But Maas is also agitating for a European-level approach to tackling the spread of hate speech by online platforms, saying now that he will present the government's proposals for regulation to colleagues in the European Council of Justice and Home Affairs Ministers.
"We want to continue the process at European level," he said.
The EU currently has 28 Member States, including Germany, and in May last year its executive body, the European Commission, unveiled a code of conduct for handling hate speech on social platforms, securing agreement on this initiative from Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft. It remains to be seen whether the EC will feel the need to push for a tougher stance across the region.
The German government has been cranking up the pressure on social media companies to tackle a surge in hate speech sentiments spreading via their platforms for several years now, following the refugee crisis in Europe.
In December 2015 it secured an agreement from Facebook, Google and Twitter they would delete hate speech on their platforms within 24 hours. But it's been unhappy with their performance — calling out Facebook and Twitter for poor complaint handling earlier this month, when it also proposed the new law that's now been approved by the cabinet.
The government is clearly hoping the threat of fines will enforce better handling of complaints and faster removal of illegal content than political pressure and verbal agreements from social media giants to 'do more' has thus far achieved.
A recent analysis of the performance of the three firms at handling hate speech complaints in Germany, conducted by local youth protection organization jugendschutz.net, found that Facebook only deleted 39 per cent of reported criminal content, while Twitter only removed one in a hundred reported messages. (Although Facebook disputed those results — saying its own analysis showed it was performing better.)
Google was judged to have faired better at swiftly nixing hate speech from its social sharing platform YouTube . (Although the company has recently faced a separate backlash from advertisers concerned that their marketing messages are ending up alongside extremist content.)
Maas said today the cabinet backing for the draft law paves the way for it to be adopted in Germany within the current legislative period.
We've reached out to Facebook, Twitter and Google for comment and will update this story with any response. Update: A Facebook spokesperson has now provided the following statement: "We work very hard to remove illegal content from our platform and are determined to work with others to solve this problem. As experts have pointed out, this legislation would force private companies rather than the courts to become the judges of what is illegal in Germany."
Facebook previously told us it will have more than 700 people working on content review for it in Berlin by the end of the year, adding: "We are committed to working with the government and our partners to address this societal issue."
On the fake news front, the company has been trialling new tools to flag disputed content in Germany since January, as well as working with a local third party fact checking organization.
Twitter has also made recent changes aimed at reducing the spread of abusive content on its platform — which a spokesman previously told us may not have been in place at the time jugendschutz.net was monitoring its performance.

These inflatable snowshoes weigh under three pounds a pair and each packs down to the size of a one liter Nalgene bottle. Meet the Small Foot Revolution.
Bounding through the snow covered canvas, my headlamp cuts a hole through the frosted forest, illuminating the path of least resistance. I'm not skinning up on skis, but instead wearing a new kind of inflatable snowshoes…and loving it.
Snowshoes have had a relatively linear evolution. Sure, we've seen new materials — aluminum, plastics, carbon fiber — but fundamentally, the snowshoe has been built on the same rigid frame since Fred Flintstone strapped into his yabba dabba shoes. That is until now.
Last October we shared Bulgarian-based Small Foot's Kickstarter campaign that ushered this inflatable snowshoe to market. The campaign was a success and the first shoes from this campaign are just now being sent to backers. We just got our hands on a pair and have been testing them this winter.
The third in the Small Foot lineup, the Revolution snowshoe is based on the same principle as the original models. A rubber air bladder slips onto a Cordura sleeve, which zips shut around the inner side of the snowshoe.
Your foot is cradled by three straps: two that cinch down over your foot's toe and throat and a third that snugs behind the boot.
While not imperative, you'll get a better fit if the boot has a lug or tab to keep the straps from slipping off the backside of the boot.
The seams and underside are protected by a heavy-weight Cordura, buffering the shell from abrasion.
The shoes come with a traditional bike pump that couples to the metal Schrader valve. If you can fill your bike tires up with air, you can inflate the Small Foot snowshoe. It took about 90 seconds to inflate each snowshoe.
The Small Foot weighs about 21 ounces per shoe and is available in size medium and large to fit feet form size U.S. 4-13.
Two rows of coated crampons lay under the foot — one under the toe and a smaller second row under the heel. The coated metal bites well and does a relatively good job tracking up steep snow.
The free heel hammock design allows the foot to pivot for better toe traction while climbing. The same principle allows you to really bound downhill, heels digging in and stabilizing your gait while shedding elevation on steep terrain.
The inflated shoes have a bit of a spring to them, making each step feel like you're literally bounding from step to step.
At 90 seconds, the shoes inflated much faster than we expected and are easy to strap into, even in deep snow. Once inflated, the lofted shoes supported both me and my loaded pack — around 200 lbs.
The inflatable shoes pack down better than any snowshoe we've ever seen and the company has a variety of aftermarket bags that service everything from the casual hiker to the extreme base-jumper.
Finally, you get some bang for your buck. At 21 ounces and $200, the shoes are on price-par with the lightest snowshoes on the market.
The included bike pump is off-the-shelf 'meh.' It works (faster than we thought!), but we'd love to see a dual-action pump that inflates during both the push and pull cycle.
Small metal objects are no fun to fiddle with in cold temperatures. Digits are clumsy and you don't want to stick a small metal cap (that protects the inflation valve) between your lips. These things could easily get lost in the snow. We'd love to see more nylon, hard plastics, or coated metals used on the shoes.
To maximize the shoe's float, the horseshoe-shaped tubular hull trails off the back of the foot on both sides. This forces your gait into a wider-than-natural stance and results in the occasional overlapping rub between the shoes. I eventually adjusted my gait and didn't notice any negative effects. Whether this adjustment would cause negative results from extended hikes… I didn't test it long enough to tell.
To help remove the cinched straps, the aluminum clips have a simple light-weight cord. Pull the cord, and the strap is released. Again, it works, but it feels cheap. For $200, we'd love to see something a little more robust and purposeful by design.
Probably the biggest question is: How durable are inflatable snowshoes? The idea of tromping deep into the woods on an inflatable base might inspire a second thought.
The Cordura is exceptionally robust and videos on the Small Foot site show German Shepherds wrestling with the snowshoes. We tested the shoes in a more mundane way, bashing through exposed branches and rock. We saw no signs of wear. And even if you managed to step a crampon on the shoe, the Cordura would deflect the point. That said, the shoes are warrantied for 2 years, covering manufacturing defects from normal use.
The real weakness is perhaps the zipper that entraps the air bladder inside the Cordura sleeves. Blow a zipper and your plans could also quickly deflate. But for intended use on appropriate terrain, they should last well beyond the two-year warranty.
The billing of "pocketable" is perhaps overly optimistic. I can't see compressing these into any pocket other than the two provided with the pair. And even these bags are best strapped to the outside of your pack. But the shoes pack down smaller than anything else we've seen on the market.
If the space race is your kit's final frontier, Small Foot's inflatable shoe is worth considering.

On Tuesday, 28 March 2017 Dusseldorf was all about the German-Dutch relationship. The German-Dutch Chamber of Commerce organised its first Holland Day, the HollandTag, where it gave information on selling to the Dutch market, cross-border business opportunities and interesting sectors.
After a welcome by the managing director of the German-Dutch Chamber of Commerce, Mr Günter Gülker, and a few words by patron Mr Ton Lansink, consul general of the Netherlands in Dusseldorf, various subject-related sector workshops offered participants the opportunity to expand their knowledge. At the same time an information market was held, giving German and Dutch entrepreneurs ample opportunity to get in touch with each other. On the information market various booths presented experts from authorities and organisations, law firms and tax offices who all work cross-border and were available for questions regarding the 'step over the border'.
"The best connection knows no boundaries" was the motto of the HollandTag, and it is a statement which Regine Nuckel, head of the BEITEN BURKHARDT Dutch Desk, may confirm. "For many years now the Netherlands, although only of the size of North Rhine-Westphalia, have been in a leading group of Germany's top export partners, together with the US, France and China. Entrepreneurs who plan their success in the neighbouring country should not only look into cultural differences and know at least the basics of the language but also seek profound legal advice. We at BEITEN BURKHARDT's Dutch Desk ensure that you avoid unpredicted pitfalls, for example in trade, contractural, corporate but also tax and labour & employment law."
In order for your German or Dutch business relations to grow as beautifully as the 30,000 tulips, which were planted in the form of a huge German-Dutch flag of 6 x 15 m at Dusseldorf's city centre for the HollandTag, lawyer Regine Nuckel and her team will be available for your concerns at any time.

I know you, my goddess sister, because I am you.
I have been exactly where you are.
For a long time, I was terrified to put myself out there, scared to own my voice and hiding. I was a recovering people pleaser with extreme social anxiety and disordered eating. But I knew I had a calling.
I was born to help others breakthrough. That required letting go of being a wounded and a reluctant leader. Everything changed when I gave myself permission to be seen and to be authentically me. Transformational divine feminine power begins with being present and being yourself. Unapologetically.

For Chobani's CEO, Trump travel ban is personal
February 6, 2018 Employees Join In
Hamdi Ulukaya, a Turkish immigrant of Kurdish decent, grew up on his family's sheep and goat farm making Tulum cheese. He's now founder and CEO of Chobani, the US-based yoghurt maker – with more than 2,000 employees and >$1.5bn revenue.
Finding ways to help refugees from war-torn countries was a mission for Ulukaya a long time before Donald Trump became POTUS and introduced his travel ban. The Chobani CEO has employed 400 refugees, created a foundation to help migrants, called on other CEOs in Davos to assist the effort, and worked with Obama on a Presidential 'Call to Action'. More than 50 companies including Salesforce and IBM signed up.
Things got more prickly with a new resident in the White House, but Ulukaya has stood firm. Death threats and calls for a #buycott on social media were drowned out by messages of support for the CEO and promises to buy more of his greek yoghurt brand. In January 2017 he wrote an internal memo to staff, promising to help employees affected by Trump's executive order.
For Ulukaya, the yoghurt's not the main thing. He told Fast Company: "Yes, I built a $450 million plant and all that stuff, but the part I love the most is becoming this hub for building lives. Refugees have gone through so much, and seeing them smile and full of energy, it's like a new world is created — while you're making a cup of yogurt!"

A car accident is usually just a car accident. You do not head out for work or to meet up with friends thinking you will be in a collision or intending to cause a crash. However, nearly everyone – yourself included – is bound to be in an accident at some point. Unfortunately, some of these accidents lead to fatalities and criminal charges, particularly if speeding, alcohol, or a cell phone was involved. If the police believe you were the driver that caused a collision that led to someone's death, you could be charged with vehicular homicide. In this situation, you should immediately call an experienced Kissimmee criminal defense lawyer to help protect your rights.
The accident led to the death of a person or unborn child.
Your vehicle homicide case hinges on whether the prosecutor can prove you were driving recklessly. Florida law defines reckless driving as operating a vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property. Recklessness is neither carelessness nor negligence. The prosecutor must prove more. Your behavior behind the wheel must have been intentional and you must have been conscious of the fact that you ignored other people's safety and the consequences of your driving.
Prosecutors usually charge vehicular homicide as a second-degree felony. If you are found guilty, you can be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison and fined up to $10,000. However, if at the time of the accident you knew or should have known the accident occurred and you failed to provide aid or your information to responders, then you can be charged with a first-degree felony. This can lead to up to 30 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
It is always possible to defend against a charge of vehicle homicide or to advocate for your charges to be reduced. Your attorney may focus on rebutting the prosecutor's evidence of recklessness. If you did not have alcohol or drugs in your system and you were not speeding, it may be difficult for the other side to prove the necessary level of culpability. Your lawyer can provide evidence to the judge and jury that you were driving carefully, even if you did not operate the vehicle perfectly.
When you find yourself facing criminal charges after a tragic car accident, contact the compassionate and experienced attorneys of Salazar & Kelly Law Group, P.A. in Kissimmee. We understand how difficult it can be to come to grips with a collision that led to someone's death, and how this situation is made so much harder now that you must fight for your freedom. We will thoroughly investigate your situation and offer you advice on the best possible course of action.


Dermatologists near me. Although I live in an area of extreme heat and humidity from June to August or September, you can swim, catch and soak up the sun. Diet can even improve the appearance of the skin. Nutritionists generally say that the diet should be low in sugar, salt, saturated fat and alcohol, and moderately low in total fat.
The ability to reduce skin aging is one of the many reasons for a low-sugar diet. It is also a reason to avoid cooked food. Yes, fruits and vegetables are important in the diet. Sugar free berries are an excellent food for an anti aging diet. She is interested in nutrition, culture and the history of food.
Okay, they will not work as well or as fast at the molecular level as products containing retinoids, but they will definitely help in the long run. Heavy Cosmetics and Facial Products Oily creams and creams can inhibit your skin's ability to remove dead skin cells.
The deodorant and the antiperspirant contribute to the darkening of the armpits due to the aluminum fluoride present in these commercial products.
A little sun is very good for you, and I never use sunscreen unless I'm in the sun for more than 20 minutes. The skin damaged by the sun seems to be the proof that none of us learn anything.
Avoid harsh chemicals, use sunscreen with SPF 15 and reduce sun exposure. I used a Microneedle roll and it worked! Use a mild, gentle cleanser three times a week.

Meta Group tells regional companies that integration across sales channels will be key to satisfying customers in the future.
A senior Meta Group analyst today advised regional businesses to ensure that their Web sites are fully integrated with their other sales channels, such as call centres.
Ashim Pal, international director for Web & collaboration strategies, said that companies that fail to provide an integrated customer experience across all channels risk losing customers and mindshare.
He pointed to the example of an international hotel chain that he said had an "excellent" Web site with support for transactions. But when it came to calling up the same company's call centre to check on the progress of an online order, the call attendant had no knowledge of the transaction.
"By 2003, organisations will have to provide single views of customers across all channels," was Pal's advice to an audience of business and technology heads at Dubai Press Club. "If you don't, you'll lose mindshare and customers."
Many businesses, he continued, are in poor shape to achieve this because much of their Web development is done on the fly as needs arise, rather than according to a long term plan. This means that underlying IT systems often cannot be adapted easily to new functional requirements. Pal urged business to pay more attention to what their long term sales and marketing goals might be when they begin planning online strategies.


In fact the U.S. Government thought it must contain cortisone or other drugs ... so they analysed it and found only plant source, trace minerals in colloidal form. Rocky Mountain's Original Mineral Formula is the only nutritional supplement with a consent decree from the U.S. Government.
The most likely explanation is that it provides minerals we are all lacking in a form we can absorb. And why are we short on minerals?
poor diet: how many people do you know eat the recommended 5 servings of fruit or vegies every day?
Ours is the only brand that has been tested for safety. And many studies have shown our Rocky Mountain minerals improve vitamin absorption and help with many other problems such as heavy metal elimination. Other brands have a simple content analysis, but seem to lack any further testing or safety testing.


ATTENTION PROPERTY INVESTORS! BUY PROPERTY DURING THE WINTER. HERE'S WHY!
ATTENTION PROPERTY INVESTORS! BUY PROPERTY DURING THE WINTER. HERE'S WHY!
If you are interested in investment property management, then there are a number of factors that you will have to consider. The time of the year is one of the many things that a rental property investor takes into account to fine homes for 'at-price' or below list. Not to mention, much of the competition is off the market due to half of home purchases take place during the fast paced, over-priced spring and summer months.
However, studies have shown that people who purchase a home in October get a 2.6% fair market value discount. And those people who purchase a home in December and January get a 2% fair market value discount.
Fair market value discounts drop during the spring months. That is why the best time for a rental property investor to purchase property can be during the winter months. There are several other reasons why investors should buy property during the winter and our team helps explain a little more below.
Many people purchase homes during the spring and summer months. People who have families move during the summer months because they do not want their children's school schedule disrupted. Competition increases when the demand increases. This increases property prices.
Most people are not interested in moving during the winter months. They spend time with their family during the holidays. They also do not have extra money for moving. This is why there is less competition. You will have fewer people to compete with if you buy property during winter.
Decreased demand creates a problem with sellers. Many sellers are impatient and do not want to wait until the warmer months. That is why they are willing to decrease their prices. However, you have to be careful. Some sellers will sell property that is in poor condition.
Climate can change the way that a property looks. A property may look great in the summer, but it can look dull in the winter. Snow can hide the more appealing features of the home and make people less likely to buy, hence why sellers are willing to lower their prices in the winter.

And spring has brought with it some new adventures.
2. Seed planting in Pre-K. We planted some mystery seeds on Monday. Hopefully I can keep them alive until they sprout into grass. The students all made guesses on what the seeds would turn into and my favourite answer was: "A chomper plant!" We are checking in on the seeds every morning to see if there is any change, and I am hoping that something will happen quickly so they don't lose interest.
3. Puddles. Giant puddles. Our whole Pre-K playground is basically a puddle, thanks to a lovely little valley between two trees in the middle of the yard. Thankfully, it has dried up a lot this week. At first, I was fairly adamant that students could not play in it when it was topped with ice, as it was slippery and could result in someone falling through the ice and getting soaked. However, the sunshine has worn me down and I now allow the students to explore the water to a point. Unfortunately, a wagon mishap today led to 2 students taking an unexpected swim. Yikes!!!! That was a teacher panic moment when I heard terrified shrieks and turned around to see the wagon sinking and 2 students half-submerged in water. The joys of spring. 😳 Check me for grey hair, please.
With Easter break right around the corner, I find it hard to believe that there are less than 3 months of school left now!

Q: Passing contents of a file on the command line I'm trying to figure out how I can send arguments (which are contents in a file) on the command line as parameters to a cpp function. I am NOT trying to send it through stdin.
I have a function named foo.cpp:
  $ cat foo.cpp
  #include <iostream>
  int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
      for (int i = 1; i < argc; i++)
          std::cout << argv[i] << std::endl;
      return 0;
  }
  $ g++ -o foo foo.cpp
  $ ./foo hello world
  hello
  world

In the last command executed, I'm passing the arguments "hello world" into the program. However, what if I have "hello world" in a file? For example:
 $ cat footest.args
 $ hello world

How would I pass the contents of footest.args into ./foo as above?
I've tried
  ./foo | cat footest.args

But it doesn't seem to be working. What am I doing wrong?

A: You want to take output of a command and transform it into arguments. Try command substitution:
./foo $(< footest.args)

A: You can achieve what you want with:
cat footest.arg | xargs ./foo

or (thanks to @glenn)
xargs ./foo < footest.arg

avoiding one unnecessary use of cat.

As the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) holds its first Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting in 2019 on Monday, experts have said that the apex bank would maintain status quo.
They told the Newsmen on Sunday in Lagos that maintaining the Monetary Policy Rate(MPR) alongside other policy parameters would, however, slow down the economy.
The CBN had since July 2016 held the MPR at 14 per cent alongside other monetary policy parameters. The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, headquarters, Abuja Prof. Sheriffdeen Tella, a Senior Economist at the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-iwoye, Ogun, said that the CBN would maintain the status quo.
Tella said that since the national elections were around the corner, politicians were expected to spend huge sums of money for campaigns which might push inflation upwards.
The expert noted that the CBN was doing all within its powers to reduce inflationary pressures on the economy.
Tella, however, said that holding the rate would slow down the wheel of the economy. " Maintaining the rate will make the economy sluggish, especially when discussions on the budget is ongoing," Tella said.
Also, Prof. Evans Osabouhien of the Department of Economics, Covenant University, Sango-Ota, said that the apex bank would maintain the rate.
"I don't see the possibility of changing the rate as CBN will likely want to keep the stability," Osabouhien said.
The last MPC meeting in November 2018, the MPC of the CBN left the Monetary Policy Rate at 14% and kept all other variables unchanged.
Liquidity ratio was left at 30%, Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) at 22.5%, and the asymmetric corridor unchanged at +200/-500 basis points. MPR is the interest rate at which CBN lends to the commercial banks. The MPR is the benchmark against which other lending rates in the economy are pegged and is usually used as an instrument to moderate inflation in the economy.
CRR refers to the ratio of customer deposits (i.e. your money in the bank) banks are expected to hold as cash or kept with the CBN.

LeBron James' home vandalized
Reports say someone painted N-word on side of house
By Clinton Yates	@clintonyates
1:49 PMWhen it comes to intimidation, spray-painting someone's home is about as intimate as it gets for nonviolent crime. As someone who's been an advocate of street art my whole life, there are still certain things that are considered off-limits, to an extent. Houses are one of them. But more importantly, the use of racial slurs in such a situation is clearly an act of aggression designed to scare through racism.
Someone decided to go that route on one of LeBron James' homes in the Los Angeles area recently. According to TMZ, the slur in question was the N-word, leading me to believe that the person who did this was at least 40 years old, if I'm gonna wildly speculate. The N-word as an aggressive stand-alone tactic is just old-school enough for me to think that anyone who deploys it in such a way is used to hearing it basically in that context alone.
Because the NBA Finals start Thursday, this will probably turn into a much bigger story than if it were August, but nonetheless, it's still a pretty scary violation of property.

When heavy-hitters like Vieux Farka Touré and Khruangbin team up, it's no surprise the result is a winning collaboration. On Ali, the Malian singer and guitarist Touré and Texan trio Khruangbin pay homage to Touré's legendary father, Ali Farka Touré, one of the progenitors of the worldwide musical phenomenon known as desert blues. Together, the artists rework some of the elder Touré's classic songs, taking them in exciting new directions while infusing them with a love for the art form, for a father, for a new musical friendship. As you'd expect, this is an album that just emanates good vibes, and is imbued with the vibrancy of each act's distinctive creative style.

The IndieCommerce team is now scheduling one-on-one sessions with participating stores attending the NCIBA Fall Discovery Show in San Francisco, CA. Appointment dates are Thursday October 27, and Friday October 28, 2016. All one-on-one sessions will be held in the Conference Center.


The Manawatu Rugby Union and Turbos coach Jeremy Cotter have come to a mutual agreement to part ways.
The MRU board and Cotter came to the decision following a review of the 2018 campaign when the team finished sixth in the Mitre 10 Cup Championship Division.
Cotter was Turbos head coach for three seasons after spending two years as an assistant coach.
His crowning glory came in 2014 when, as an assistant coach under Jason O'Halloran, he helped the Turbos win the Championship Division.
At the end of the 2015 season, he was promoted to head coach when O'Halloran departed for Scotland.
Cotter worked alongside assistant Rhys Archibald in his first year before linking with Aaron Good for the past two seasons.
Among Cotter's most impressive wins were 50-28 over Wellington (2016) and 19-15 over Canterbury (2016).
In 2016 the Turbos missed the semi-final on a tie-breaker, while they were just two points shy of the playoffs in 2017.
Manawatu Rugby Union chairman Tim Myers thanked Cotter for his commitment and efforts leading the Turbos.
"The union has benefited from Jeremy's breadth of rugby knowledge and experience and he has played a key role in promoting and developing local talent, as well providing opportunities to aspirational players from outside the region who now call the Manawatu home," he said.
"The MRU Board would also like to acknowledge the objective and future focussed approach that Jeremy has adopted during the review period.


A stamping friend sent me a 4×4″ art tile in the mail. I have not made one of these in a while so I'll share what I put together to send back to her.
I took a green file folder and cut it into 4×4 pieces and glued two of them together. Next I added a few layers of DP, gesso and texture paste.
While the texture paste was drying I pulled out a sentiment by Hampton Arts Laugh out Loud stamps. The verse was stamped on a piece of white mulberry paper and using mat gel medium was glued down to the base. The frame is an old chip board piece from a set of mini books purchased from the dollar store years ago. This was painted with gesso, texture paste added, Dylusions spray inks and finally some gold Wink of Stella.
I have a box of purchased flowers by Recollections. I pulled out a few of the flowers adding a blue metallic center that was gifted to me by Alice. I'm slowly putting the box of embellishments that she gave me to use. The leaves are a left over from the last stamp camp I went to.
Here you can see the texture on the DP from the texture paste. l used a Tim Holtz ruler stencil (get it? Ruler vs. rules? I thought it was clever.) The butterfly is a purchased item that was added with hot glue to give additional dimension.
In the background you can see that I also added excelsior grass and some cheese cloth.
Here are all of the purchased flowers I added. I also tucked in a few stamped/punched leaves to fill in.
One more look at the finished art title before you go on about your day….
There are other tiles as well, but these were the ones I found easily through a quick search.

The AC2200 WiFi Range Extender is the first wall-plug extender for the premium NETGEAR Nighthawk range of products. Along with its new sister wall-plug extender, the NETGEAR AC1900 WiFi Range Extender (EX6400) (www.netgear.com/EX6400), it represents an expansion of the NETGEAR family of easy-to-use WiFi Range Extenders for greatly enhanced network accessibility, range, and performance throughout your home for mobile connected devices. They are among the innovative products enabling the home network of the future that NETGEAR will highlight this week in its Marriott Las Vegas showroom during the 2016 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES®).
According to a recent study by research firm MarketLab, only one in five U.S. WiFi users rate the performance of their home network as excellent. One of the most common causes for complaint is Internet "dead spots" in the home. This presents a challenge to the "Internet of Things" (IoT) smart home of the future that is dependent on whole-home connectivity for an ever-increasing number of mobile devices. However, while 35 percent of survey respondents reported experiencing dead spots, only 12 percent had installed a WiFi Range Extender to improve coverage and performance.
MU-MIMO support means the extender multitasks, streaming data to more devices simultaneously and reducing the wait time for everyone, delivering up to three times faster WiFi for the smartphones, tablets and other devices on your busy network.
NETGEAR FastLane™ technology uses two WiFi bands simultaneously to establish one super-fast wireless connection.
Beamforming+ improves wireless range and reliability by transmitting the WiFi signal directly to mobile devices, instead of broadcasting the signal to a wider area.
A low-noise amplifier increases the quality of transmissions received from mobile devices, which means extended WiFi range for more mobility.
"For most people, your mobile device is your lifeline. No matter where you are in or around your home, back yard or garage, you expect to stream, surf and access your favorite content without delay. It's a need, not a want," said Jonathan Wu, director of product management for NETGEAR Home Consumer Products. "Our newest WiFi Range Extenders are designed with MU-MIMO and other new technologies and are compatible with any WiFi router so you can enjoy improved performance from your existing equipment. And with Nighthawk X4 AC2200 WiFi Range Extender, you can maximize your WiFi for mobile devices at amazing speeds throughout any size home, large or small.
Both extenders offer a stylish, compact wall-plug design that is effortless to install and, with internal antennas, blends easily into a room. Smart LED indicator lights on the front of each extender guide you to an optimal location for best WiFi coverage. You can establish a secure connection to any existing home WiFi network with the simple push of a button.
A Gigabit Ethernet port with auto-sensing technology on each extender enables you to easily connect wired devices like gaming consoles, smart TVs or multimedia streaming set-top boxes to your existing WiFi network. You can also set the extenders to access point mode, where the Gigabit Ethernet port connects to a wired Internet connection for upgrading your existing WiFi to AC2200 speeds. Access point mode can also create a hotspot in a different location of your home that is pre-wired with an Ethernet jack.
The new extenders support helpful features such as WiFi coverage controls and WiFi access scheduling for parental controls. An additional bonus is that you can use the free NETGEAR WiFi Analytics app for Android™ tablets and smartphones with NETGEAR WiFi extenders to get information about your network status, signal strength, and channel interference to help you optimize your home network.
The NETGEAR Nighthawk X4 AC2200 WiFi Range Extender (EX7300) will be available this spring from major retailers and online, at an MSRP of $169.99 in the U.S. The NETGEAR AC1900 WiFi Range Extender (EX6400) will also be available in the spring time frame at an MSRP of $139.99.

Why a Smaller-Government Advocate is Afraid U.S. Airspace is Under Attack
The people responsible for $50 baggage charges and $150 flight change fees are about to be given unlimited license to tax every passenger in the U.S. and potentially compromise the safety of our airspace.
As I read about upcoming proposed legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives, I had flashbacks of 8th grade history class when the Colonists were protesting "Taxation without Representation."
The House Transportation and Infrastructure committee recently unveiled legislation to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and its major programs, which is necessary. However, in an unprecedented move, a provision in the proposed bill creates a user-fee-funded air traffic control corporation that will, if approved, take over all of the air traffic control towers in the U.S. In short, the House wants to privatize a major U.S. safety infrastructure and give an 11-person committee the ability to run it and tax us for it.
Air traffic control towers are essential to air safety at the largest 500 or so U.S. airports. We've all seen planes stacked up to land or take off—in all sorts of precipitation, wind and lighting conditions. What we don't see when we're impatiently waiting for our commercial flight to take off, is the interworking of thousands of planes in routes not originating or terminating at the airports named for U.S. Presidents; ATC also oversees much of the 400,000,000 square miles that make up U.S. airspace.
Counting grass strips used for crop dusting and smaller planes, there are 14,000+ airstrips in the U.S. More than 5,000 of those are paved, meaning they can support jets or other heavy aircraft. Moving the operation of this infrastructure—especially as millions of drones are entering the picture—to a brand-new, private organization poses a major threat to the safety to our airways.
In April 2016, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California proposed two amendments, #3558 and #3650, to the 2016 FAA Reauthorization Act that would give authority to states to pass their own drone laws, possibly creating conflicts with FAA regulations. The FAA and a number of aviation groups, including NBAA, have publicly opposed these amendments, stating that a "patchwork quilt" of regulations that differs from state to state would create a mess of obstacles for commercial drone development, as businesses would have to comply with 50 different sets of rules and regulations.
Today, the U.S. has the busiest and safest air operations in the world. While mired in bureaucratic red tape like every other federal government entity, the ATC part of the FAA performs its job well. And it's a lot bigger job than what you think if you primarily fly on commercial airlines. There are about 7,000 commercial airliners registered with the FAA in the U.S. An additional 200,000+ aircraft make up what we call the general aviation sector.
General aviation includes firefighting aircraft, life-flight helicopters, crop-dusters, private planes used for recreation or remotely located small and mid-sized businesses, and flight school trainers. General aviation is a vital part of our way of life in the U.S. While it only contributes two percent of the U.S. GDP, general aviation is as American as apple pie. It is one of the few remaining things invented here that is still a U.S.-dominated global market. More aircraft are made in and exported from the U.S. than any other country—and many of these are fueling U.S. jobs.
As the owner of a small business in the general aviation industry, I have grave concerns about creating an air traffic control corporation that may go well beyond user fees. An ATC corporation, controlled in perpetuity by its board of commercial aviation industry insiders (think $20 for a window seat), will place general aviation in constant peril from efforts by most major airlines to cost shift and deny general aviation access to airspace and airports. The proposal will undermine the national air transportation system by denying rural America access to cutting-edge technology, and it will saddle the traveling public with ever increasing fees.
Separating the ATC from the FAA also will pose more problems as we face the challenges of drones in the air. Last year, a number of incidents had the U.S. government scrambling to figure out how to regulate the operation of unmanned aircraft. A remote-controlled quadcopter crash landing on the White House lawn brought international attention to the possibility that this could be a serious national safety concern. Another incident made headlines when firefighting helicopters were forced to delay their mission because a drone was seen flying around a blazing forest fire. The potential consequences of a propeller collision with a drone could be deadly, thus grounding the firefighters until they were able to clear the airspace.
There are now over a million unmanned aerial vehicles in the U.S. alone and, according to the Washington Post, the FAA estimates domestic drone sales will top a total of $90 billion within a decade. "We're not talking here about the lethal, multi-million dollar military aircraft that are changing the nature of warfare," the Post reports. "We're talking about small, consumer-friendly devices that sell today to hobbyists and others for less than $300."
In measures to improve regulation of the airspace, as of December 21, 2015, any drone weighing more than 0.55 lbs. was required to be registered with the FAA before flying outside. Today, approximately 300,000 of the 1,000,000 sold in the U.S. have been registered appropriately. The deadline for drone owners to register is February 19, 2016, and the registration fee is a mere $5, which was waived for the first month.
In the last six months, hundreds of pilots have reported seeing drones while in flight, and the FAA has announced that it is testing "anti-drone technology that would counter rogue drones flying within five miles of airports. As proposed, this technology would identify the drone operator and be able to force the drone to land."
In January at CES, the consumer electronics show held each year in Las Vegas, a Chinese company introduced the first prototype of a passenger drone, which it expects to start selling for $200,000 to $300,000 later this year. It's only a matter of time before every civil aviation authority in the world must address the safety issues inherent with a massive quantity of personal aircraft. If the U.S. is the world leader in aviation and operates the largest and safest air traffic control system on the planet, why are we considering such a massive change?
It is extremely alarming to me—and most of my aviation colleagues—that the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee introduced a privatized ATC corporation as a provision in H.R. 4441 on February 3 and plans to push it through committee on February 11. There's something sneaky about legislation that moves that fast in Washington DC. Something that smells like self-serving, powerful lobbyists—not "We the People" who are increasingly concerned with the safety of our homes, neighborhoods and country.
If you don't want to see the safest air safety system in the world compromised and already pricey air travel with random fees become more expensive, will you please join me in letting your Congressman know this is not a good idea?
