A Professor of Forage Agronomy and Utilisation and the immediate past Director, Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies (CENTS) of the University, Professor Olufemi Onifade, has revealed what the country should do, to increase local production of meat, milk, mutton, veal, hides, skin and other exports. According to the Don, what needs to be done is simply ensuring that the animals producing these products are adequately fed and well taken care of, as this would increase the quantity and quality of animal protein intake of the citizens and generate income for youths in the country.
Professor Onifade made the disclosure while delivering the 53rd Inaugural Lecture of the University titled, "Grasses: Production and Management for Sustainable Livestock Industry", where he enumerated the importance of forage in the stabilisation of soil, serving as cover crop for erosion control, usage as pesticide, feed for ruminants and non-ruminants, medical and recreational activities, among others. Professor Onifade, who is of the Department of Pasture and Range Management, College of Animal Science and Livestock Production (COLANIM), observed that forage evaluation started long time ago in Nigeria, particularly in Northern Nigeria, where forage species were first evaluated in 1935, which led to the need to focus on pasture, grassland management and to establish more cooperation between livestock and traditional farmers. He noted that between 1956 and 1961, about 271 pasture species were evaluated at various centers in sub-humid zone and at the National Animal Production Research Institute (NAPRI).
He added that the livestock industry had contributed tremendously to national economy as the population of ruminant livestock in Nigeria, as at 2013, was estimated at 40,834,000 goats, 19,590,000 sheep and 16,286,000 cattle, adding that agricultural contribution to the nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was 22 per cent, out of which livestock was 30 per cent. He said that many established pastures were not doing well and failed to last long, while calling for proper planning, identifying fertilizer needs, using of quality seed, land preparation, proper sowing method and proper management of weeds. The Don said that one of his contributions to knowledge was in the area of pasture seed industry for livestock production, noting that seed formed the foundation for the establishment of good pasture species as well as food and feed.
Professor Onifade, the Pioneer President, Society for Grassland Research and Development in Nigeria (SOGREDEN), observed that seed industries for food crop were already established in the country, while the pasture seed industry was yet to be adequately developed. He noted that presently, NAPRI and some private farms produce small quantities of pasture, which cannot meet the demand in the country. He, therefore, called on the Federal Government to encourage domestic production of pasture seeds of adapted species by both private and public sectors. Professor Onifade, a former Dean, Student Affairs of the University, noted that if this was done, it would provide an avenue for employment, income generation for the unemployed youths and increase in foreign exchange earnings, among others.
The 53rd Inaugural Lecturer, who is also an alumnus of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, concluded his lecture by calling for the training of technical officers in the College of Agriculture, to manage the range-land, noting that education and training were important factors in manpower development. The University Don observed that though the number of graduates with Bachelor of Agriculture, Master in Agriculture and Ph.D were increasing, they still fell below demand. He, therefore, called on the National Universities Commission (NUC), to facilitate the creation of at least, one Department of Pasture and Range Management in each geo-political zone of the country.
The Professor of Forage Agronomy and Utilization implored the government and other stakeholders to provide mechanised equipment like fenced paddock, tractors, mowers, choppers, blowers, hay balers and hay rakes, as they would go a long way in increasing feeds for livestock. He further called on state governments to assist in the renovation of the feed resource base to accommodate more livestock in order to reduce unwarranted movement and a number of animals seeking for greener pastures.
Speaking at the occasion, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Olusola Oyewole, disclosed that the Inaugural Lecturer was the third to present a lecture in the discipline of Forage Agronomy and Utilization in Nigeria, the ninth lecture from the College of Animal Science and Livestock Production (COLANIM), the first to be presented from the Department of Pasture and Range Management and the 18th he would preside over as the Vice-Chancellor of FUNAAB. According to the Vice-Chancellor, the Inaugural Lecturer is an erudite scholar, who had published over 40 articles in local and international journals, as well as over 30 articles in refereed conference proceedings and workshops. He has also supervised more than 90 undergraduate projects, 20 M. Agric. Dissertations and 4 Ph.D Theses. Present at the Inaugural Lecture were notable personalities from all walks of life.

Ahu Tongariki, Easter Island
Easter Island (Rapa Nui)
Easter Island holidays
Easter Island - known as Rapa Nui to the Polynesian people who live there - is a long way from the Chilean mainland. Some 3,790 kilometres to be precise. So it's not surprising that this remote outpost in the Pacific Ocean, just south of the Tropic of Capricorn, is unlike any other part of the country.
Huge moai statues, stone figures up to 10 metres high, are the iconic landmarks of Easter Island. There are around 600 moai, which represent the tribal ancestors of the Rapa Nui people. Most were carved at the Rano Raraku quarry and transported on wooden rollers. However, when the island's natural resources began to run out in the 16th and 17th centuries, warfare erupted between tribes and many of the moai were destroyed or toppled over - the deified ancestors being seen to have failed their descendants. Today, many of the moai have now been restored and seeing them is a major Easter Island travel highlight.
Rapu Nui culture has been passed down to the present day islanders, in song, dance, art and rituals. An Easter Island tour provides the chance to witness the Polynesian customs at first hand and to learn about the tribal history of the island. The main town, Hanga Roa, and the Rapa Nui National Park, which comprises roughly half the island, are two of the best places to experience traditional island life.

Home Sport Gaa Weekend sporting tips with Paddy Power
Weekend sporting tips with Paddy Power
League structures and competitiveness were seen as all-important issues during the spring and certainly some of the heavy defeats that were handed out by the division one sides in football have ensured that league status is still a contentious issue in the football world. However when it comes to hurling, Clare and Waterford kicked the season off in fine style last Sunday and it's only the championship that matters to anyone. Kilkenny, Wexford, Offaly and Dublin all get their seasons underway this weekend while locally, the Gaelic Grounds will host the first of this year's Munster semi-finals, set to be contested by Limerick and Tipperary.
Limerick were always likely to start as outsiders in this clash but Tipperary's strong performance in the National Hurling League has cemented that view. The Premier County are currently 2/9 with Paddy Power, while 12/1 is available aboaut the draw and 7/2 is on offer about a win for Limerick. The handicap mark is set at five points, which might seem like a big head start, but when we see that Waterford were level with fifteen minutes to go and still lost by eight, is clear that such a spread is easily covered in a fast paced summer championship clash.
Matching Tipperary's stamina is going to be a huge issue for Limerick and Powers are certainly calling Limerick's staying power into question, offering money back on all losing goalscorer bets if Limerick get the last score of the match. That's an incredibly generous offer, considering the numbers involved.
Roughly speaking, it would be expected that there would be approximately 40-41 scores in the game on average, which would be split 23-18 in favour of Tipp if the handicap was correct. That would imply that any given score has a 56% chance of coming from a Tipp player and a 44% of coming from a Limerick hurler. Even allowing for Tipperary finishing with more power, the probability of having a safety net in place is still significant, so it would be remiss not to look for a goalscorer bet this week.
It would be easy to look at Limerick's strengths in this regard however it would be foolish also not to consider Tipperary's weaknesses. This season, surging runs through the centre have caused Eamon O'Shea's men huge problems. Michael Fennelly scored twice from centre forward in the league final, while Tony Kelly also netted from centre forward for the Banner men against Tipp in the league. Limerick are quite comfortable with that style of attacking play and both David Breen and Conor Allis look like good value bets as a consequence. Allis is a 20/1 shot to score the first goal of the game and 5/1 to score a goal at any time, while the corresponding prices for Breen are 14/1 and 7/2. Both of those any time prices would look good regardless of any refund possibility, but the special offer makes a trip to your local Powers shop all the more worthwhile this week.

For our last cover I chose a still life I knew she would love, anxious to send her a copy. Instead I find myself sitting down to record the loss of the person who, next to my wife, was the most significant in my life as a writer. We cherish memories of her boundless acts of generosity, which changed our lives forever.
We met in 1983 at the Churchill Hotel, London, on the first of eleven Churchill Tours, many of which she attended. She had a reputation as a determined guardian of the flame, and I wondered if she would view a "Churchill society" as gratuitous or frivolous. No: Lady Soames ("call me Mary") was entirely approachable and grateful for our work. She was soon a familiar voice on the telephone, as interested in our doings as any doting aunt.
I am excited and honoured to be here at the first gathering of the North Texas Chapter, and if I've had anything to do with people wanting to come then I am indeed happy. You will realise how deeply moving it is for me to see how revered, so long after his death, is my father's memory, which the International Churchill Society does so much to keep fresh and green.
It makes me proud that you have all come here today to meet me. And as you are setting out on your way, may I venture to say to you what I hope the International Churchill Society does? It does a lot of things, of course—but I hope especially it will continue to take a particular care and pride in keeping the record straight.
There are a lot of stories told about famous people, and I find that as time goes on it is rather like the lens of a camera: Virtues and faults come out of focus. Inaccurate statements said in some paper or book are copied lightheartedly, and reproduce themselves all over the place. Few people take the trouble to go back to the source and find out if that really was what happened. I like to hope that the Society will, above all the other things, regard itself as the guardian of the true picture and try always to bring that camera back into true focus.

Talented midfielder discusses long-awaited Tottenham return
By George Blake
Harry Winks is a real fan favourite amongst the Tottenham fans in the Transfer Tavern…
Last season was a breakout campaign for the Englishman, emerging as an increasingly important member of Tottenham's first team squad – before a cruel injury ended his campaign early.
Such was the excitement and focus on the midfielder, the Tottenham fans in the pub have spent the last few months desperately waiting for his return – and during Tottenham's pre-season game against PSG – he finally returned to the pitch.
He has since been reflecting on the return for Tottenham's official website, and he certainly didn't hide his joy.
Winks said: "I can't put it into words. It's been a long time coming and it's been amazing to return, it really has".
He was quick to focus on the game, though, stating: "I've worked hard with the help of the medical team and when you go out there, the focus is on winning the match and that's all I was thinking about".
Winks' return is sure to generate a lot of excitement amongst the Spurs fans in the Transfer Tavern. He earned 21 appearences in the Premier League last season, the majority of which came from the bench, and next year he will be expected to make a further step up.
In Mauricio Pochettino, he has one of the Premier League's best managers when it comes to developing young talent, and with his injury woes now behind him, the focus can go back on to his development.

Why is John McCain being such a jerk?
The post-election lovefest is over. The defeated senator has even learned Twitter to attack Obama. But don't call him jealous.
A couple of weeks after Barack Obama beat John McCain in the election last year, the former rivals got together in Chicago for a friendly chat. The meeting went so well, despite the months of political combat, that they issued a joint statement afterward, promising to work hand-in-hand to reform government. The night before Obama took office this year, he threw a dinner in McCain's honor. Both men said they hoped they could put the bruising campaign behind them.
Unlike during the campaign, Obama and his aides haven't taken any of the bait; the White House has studiously avoided engaging in a debate with McCain, even while Obama aides push back against more general complaints about the spending bill. Which makes the spectacle of a scowling McCain railing about the way the administration is handling the spending bill even stranger. "The president's budget person says, 'We want to move on,'" McCain said Monday. "That is insulting to the American people." The diatribes are getting McCain plenty of exposure on cable news, but they're also starting to make observers wonder if the man who rolled his eyes at "that one" during the presidential debates is having trouble moving on from last November's defeat.
McCain, at least, says that's not what's going on. At a Capitol Hill press conference Wednesday morning to introduce legislation to give the White House a line-item veto, McCain made a special point of bashing the Obama administration's handling of the omnibus bill again. But then he sounded shocked when Salon asked him whether there was any trouble in his relationship with the president. "I'm the -- as I said, the loyal opposition," McCain said. "Both words [are] operative. I want to work with the president where we can, and I have on several issues."
That's certainly true; McCain went straight from the press conference to the White House, where he was the only Republican to join Obama at an event where the president called for the Pentagon to stop wasting money on bloated private contracts. A few days before, McCain gave his support to Obama's plan to withdraw troops from Iraq, though he had hammered Obama during the campaign for proposing that very idea. Even the helicopter complaint at the White House came in the context of procurement reform, which Obama's advisors had already reached out to McCain on, knowing they could find common ground there.
"None of this means anything in terms of where McCain's going -- he's getting mad at the White House, he's not getting mad at the White House, or he's bitter from the election or he's not bitter from the election," one McCain advisor told Salon. "It means just what it always means from McCain -- what you see is what you get." McCain has no problem grumbling about Obama on one issue, then driving up Pennsylvania Avenue to work with him on another -- even if the rest of the political world is likely to ask what he's up to. (That unpredictability, mixed with rage, is precisely what drives Senate Republicans crazy about McCain at times.) McCain's allies say he also popped off at George W. Bush on spending, as well, but considering that Bush, like Obama, also beat McCain in a presidential campaign, that may not be much of a defense. It's hard to imagine he doesn't realize calling out Obama will make news, or that people will wonder if the fact that Obama remains far more popular than he is might be what really bothers him.
But even if McCain is just swinging away at runaway federal spending -- a foe of his long before he ever heard the name "Barack Obama" -- he may not be doing himself many favors in the process. For one thing, much of the money McCain has attacked in the spending bill would fund scientific research. The names of the individual projects may be easily lampooned, but as Bobby Jindal discovered last week, just because something sounds silly doesn't mean it's smart to bash it. For another, Republicans -- who, unlike Obama, actually still have the power to put earmarks into legislation -- are certainly taking their share of pork in the spending bill. McCain acknowledged that, but still bashed the White House for not taking a harder line on spending.
At a deeper level, though, in light of the massive problems the government is trying to deal with, it's hard for anyone except McCain to get that worked up over the earmark battle. He and Obama covered all this ground during the campaign last year; during the presidential debates, voters could be forgiven for thinking McCain's entire economic plan boiled down to eliminating earmarks. Voters evidently weren't sufficiently moved by McCain's anti-earmark outrage to put him in office. "There's a reason he's not president -- this stuff is just tiresome, and it's not what people care about these days," said a Democratic operative who worked on the campaign last fall. Could you argue that, as McCain says, there's something ridiculous about spending $380,000 on a "recreation and fairground area" in Kotzebue, Alaska? Sure -- though McCain might know someone in Alaska who would disagree. But after eight years of the policies McCain mostly promised to continue if he won the election, eliminating the millions -- or even billions -- of dollars that get sprinkled around on lawmakers' pet projects isn't going to fix much.
Barack Obama John Mccain, R-ariz.


How to select a dependable hosting distributor for my domains?
In the present dynamic online world, it is essential to settle on a stable hosting corporation that will do everything possible to deliver a quick, steady and trustworthy hosting service. A website will permit you to get to 1 000 000's of individuals regardless of where they are or what time of day or night it is, so you can lure new clients, share views with interesting persons or merely share your favorite activities with the world. For all this, you require a hosting provider that will guarantee the online availability of the site, or you will lose the visitors you have in case your web page faces outages too frequently or for extended periods of time.
Numerous hosting vendors on the market are resellers that buy disk space and traffic from larger hosting vendors. This method is dubbed hosting reseller. There won't be a problem if the actual hosting corporation manages the service provision directly, but if the reseller runs an unmanaged server and you have a web hosting account on it, you may experience troubles trying to contact this reseller looking for assistance if you run into any problems or difficulties. Obtaining prompt help is very often vital, especially if your web page is popular or you distribute products and services online, so you cannot afford the luxury of suffering any service disturbances. The reseller may need to contact the web hosting company after that, which means an even longer outage. There are some dependable resellers as well, and they provide full support, but this is not the typical situation. Another argument why a reseller may not be a suitable choice is that you will be getting the web hosting service through a third party, not directly from the original service provider, so you will have to spend more cash for absolutely the same web hosting service.
It is essential to have several modes of reaching the web hosting service provider - telephone, live chat, tickets, etc. When speaking of truly professional customer support solutions, an applicable example is Papua Web Hosting, which provides 24x7x365 technical support with very fast response times.
A professional hosting vendor can also offer you the web hosting package that your web site requires. A popular web portal with thousands of viewers will demand a VPS or a dedicated server and cannot be accommodated by a shared hosting platform. If the hosting service provider is candid and they don't provide such packages, they should not make you purchase a shared website hosting plan as you may chance upon load troubles at a later time. At the same time, such a package would be the best alternative for a small scale web site that doesn't need plenty of system resources, so you do not have to pay for a service you will not wholly make use of. Stuff like the possibility to easily upgrade from one plan to another, the inclusion of a 1-click applications installer and/or a website installer, as well as the availability of routine daily backups can also make launching and handling an online portal child's play. Given hosting firms also offer unlimited web server disk space and monthly bandwidth quotas and other unmetered features at prices other hosting firms have for limited packages.
One way to get to know more about the hosting company is to look online for commentaries about their services and the data center(s) that they utilize. This will give you an idea how stable the web hosting servers and the hosting environment are and if you can depend on this shared hosting supplier to keep your web page online and to help you start your beneficial Internet presence. The web hosting supplier's web site can also reveal to you a lot about the quality of their services. A well-designed web site that includes adequate information and declares explicitly what you obtain for the cash you pay implies that the web hosting firm has spent time to develop their plans and has concentrated on the way they are presented to their clients. A reliable web hosting firm such as 'Papua Web Hosting ', for example, gives heed to the minor details, so they would be a predictable co-partner to do business with.


Uninformed Critics: Episode 65 "Peaky Blinders"
So for the second week in a row (if you skip the week in the middle) we talk about a show and now we are reviewing said show. Talking points include, how many mistress' is too many, who was the real target, and what does Winston Churchill have to do with street gangs. Stick around to the end as we solve one of last weeks big questions.


Ex competitive powerlifter weighing in.
The signals that free weights sends to your body, particularly compound multi joint movements like squats and deadlifts are entirely different to isolation exercises (machines). Particularly when it comes to neurological efficiency and hormone response. One's not better than the other, but they produce entirely different strength gains.
He goes into a lot of detail in the podcast about how he strength trains runners.
Mike-T is a good sort, he gives some really good advice on the forum. But when he advises doing one hour of strength and conditioning for every hour spent running and to avoid exercise machines then I think he's not only wrong but reckless in his advice.
So you spend an hour running one day and combine it with an hours s&c. So that's two hours of exercise a day. And what about those who spend two hours a day running? They'd be spending four hours in total on exercise. And so on until you get the Bob Graham loons who would have to do the round in 12 hours to ensure they got the other 12 hours of s&c in!
Strength training is not an endurance contest. It can be developed very quickly from 20-40 minutes per week, even less in some. But it needs to be hard. And if you've got kids then find someone you trust to coach them in the gym once a week. Get them on the resistance machines and free weights. There is no better investment for their health. When I was young they warned against it because they thought it might stunt growth. But hey jumping down from trees and drain pipes wasn't much good for growth plates either but we still did it and landed in adulthood in fine fettle.

Liberia, Sierra Leone Gain in Ebola crisis; Guinea Struggles
April 3, 2015 - Last Updated: April 3, 2015
Sierra Leone and Liberia both appear to be on steady paths to ending the epidemic. The wild card is Guinea, where Ebola hasn't burned as hot but remains stubbornly entrenched.
Liberia's last Ebola patient died March 27; it is now counting down the 42 days it must wait to be declared free of Ebola. Meanwhile, Sierra Leone recorded no new infections Wednesday for the second time; on average, it has logged a handful each day in recent days.
A nationwide lockdown indicated there aren't hordes of hidden cases lurking there.
"The battle to get to zero cases is truly on," Ernest Bai Koroma, Sierra Leone's president, said in a radio address on Thursday.
It's more difficult to discern a trend in Guinea. The World Health Organization has called the picture mixed after noting signs of improvement last week.
Doctors Without Borders added 10 new beds to its treatment center in the capital, Conakry, last week to handle more patients. About half of the Donka center's 50 beds were full as of Tuesday night, according to Raphael Delhalle, the group's field coordinator there.
The outbreak in Guinea has followed this undulating pattern for months and is likely to continue, Delhalle said.
In the year since the first cases were identified in Guinea, Ebola has infected more than 25,000 people, the vast majority in West Africa. Of those, around 10,500 have died.
Even though Ebola has spread longest in Guinea, the country has registered by far the fewest cases. That's primarily because Ebola has yet to explode in a major Guinean city, as it did in the capitals of Sierra Leone and Liberia, said Dr. Dan Jernigan of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It still could, he warned, but more resources are now being focused on Guinea.
Guinea's president recently implemented new measures to fight the outbreak, including mandating safe burials in hot spots and shutting any health center that finds an Ebola case. Ebola is spread through bodily fluids of the sick and dead; burials and clinics are two major sources of infection.
One measure of whether officials are beginning to bring an outbreak under control is how many new infections are in people who were already being monitored as contacts of the sick.
That figure is only at about 50 percent in Guinea, WHO said Wednesday.
WHO said about two-thirds of new cases in Sierra Leone arose in known contacts, a drop from the previous week. Fifteen percent of cases are still being confirmed only after death.
That's a sign that people are still waiting too long to seek care, and Roeland Monasch of UNICEF said there is still some suspicion and lack of education about government health measures in hot spots.

Super Overload
How many movies can they make about superheroes? I really like superheroes, and I am more than happy to watch superhero movies, but jeez...it's just gotten bloody ridiculous! There a few superhero movies that clearly rise above the hordes of mediocrity, like The Avengers, The Watchmen, The Batman Trilogy, X-Men: Days of Future Past and Guardians of the Galaxy, all of which were epic, without a doubt, but it's the millions of spin offs and remakes that are just doing my head in.
Somebody tell me, why did we need to remake the Spiderman movies? Really, why is that happening? The first lot were perfectly good and interesting. And what the hell is with all of The Avenger spin off films? Thor, Captain America and Iron Man have way too many films floating around, many of which I am sorry to say, actually put me to sleep.
What began as an exciting trip to the cinema to see something 'super' has now become so heavily overloaded that everyone on the face of the planet has assisted in lining Stan Lee's already bulging pockets. Do we really need so many superhero movies? I mean I am getting a bit jaded these days, picking and choosing and judging, because when it's not on at the cinema it's on TV as well. Agents of SHIELD, Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash, Gotham....groan....when will it all end? Every superhero that has ever been thought of has had a crack at it now, even the crappy ones like Green Lantern, Ghost Rider and The Punisher have had their own movies, none of which was any chop mind you.
Movie producers have literally gone bonkers with the knowledge that superhero movies get bums on seats, so much so that they are even pitting superheros against each other, I mean Batman vs Superman? Come on! Why did they even have to go there? Superman isn't even human for god sake, he's super in the most super of ways, you can't match him up against Batman for god sake! A guy with some really cool gadgets and a hot car against an alien that can fly, stop bullets and speeding locomotives, not to mention his x-ray vision? Pu-leez! Is that a fair match up anyway? Did they even watch Man of Steel or The Batman Trilogy before they came to the decision to make this bundle of crap? Who cares if the fans want it? It's shit, it's unnecessary shit! Couldn't we have donated the money that has gone into making these epic shit-piles to feeding the hungry or something? That sounds like a super idea to me!
And just when I thought that I could stand it no longer, and was about to boycott all comic book heroes forever, along came this ray of sunshine into my life and I had to shut my face, shut it hard - because I fricken loved it!
Damn you Stan Lee and your bloody brilliant mind, you've sucked me back in again. It's like Godfather 3 all over again! Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!
Just when my tolerance for 'super' related movie material was at an all time low, Deadpool comes along and smashes my preconceived ideas and delivers far beyond my expectations.
Slick, smart and incredibly funny, Deadpool comes on strong with it's vulgar humour, gratuitous violence and thrilling pace, breathing some much needed life back into the comic-book 'superhero' genre.
Former Special Forces Agent Wade Wilson undergoes a ruthless and rogue experimentation process that transforms him into Deadpool; a hideous and hilarious anti-hero seeking to destroy the man who ruined his life.
There is nothing revolutionary in terms of story line here, it's a tried and true superhero formula that we've all seen a million times before, but it's the way that it's delivered that gives it so much kick. When Deadpool isn't breaking through the 4th wall, he's cracking skulls and cracking jokes at a dizzying rate, and the humour is funny, really, really funny.
Ryan Reynolds shines as Deadpool, a role that he is perfectly cast in and delivering on completely. It was good to see Morena Baccarin back onscreen again, after she virtually vanished following the Firefly fiasco, and she does a fine job of playing Deadpool's love interest.
Overall, expect to be amused and high entertained, the pop culture references are laid on as as thick as the sexy poses and the blood spattering making it wild and unabashed and totally unmissable.
FINAL SAY: I'm touching myself tonight.


A couple more #incoming for the #wilt #2018 #prizm #oddlots #personalcollection #brooklyn #vintage. Both of these fall in the category of "#overpay for a PC item", but they weren't egregious, and they're definitely hard to find. Will go nice with my light blue shimmer and 2-black golds.
💕💕 Anyone who knows me understands that collecting original art is one of dearest passions. Today I'm so proud to hang this gorgeous original oil painting by artist Doug Ball @emil_douglas ... this lovely landscape reminds me of both my homes - Sarasota in the sweet pastel sky and Boise's stunning foothills. It just makes me swoon! I encourage everyone to seek out original art - because it supports artists and because it adds an organic and authentic feel to your home that no print from IKEA or Home Goods ever could.
After seeing Sandra's @littlehobobird #turquoise #phone #grip, I just had to have one! I got mine today from @kingmanturquoisemine and it's #fabulous! #love it! #blue #turquoiselove #turquoiseobsession #thankyou Pinky ring by @liseviot #liseviotbijoux, #ring #finger by @gypsy_silver #gypsysilver, all #rings are #personalcollection and NFS, sorry!

The Wildlife Aid Foundation is a charity dedicated to the rescue, care and rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned animals. Based in Leatherhead, Surrey, UK, the centre operates Surrey County's only wildlife hospital (one of the three largest such hospitals in the UK) and maintains a referral service for wildlife hospitals throughout Europe. The organisation also carries out environmental activist and educational roles. Wildlife Aid has attracted media attention for its rescues of photogenic wild animals like young foxes and baby badgers; Animal Planet's TV program Wildlife SOS chronicles the activities of Wildlife Aid volunteers as they rescue imperiled animals.

Wildlife hospital
Wildlife Aid got its start in 1979 when its founder, Simon Cowell, MBE acquired a farmhouse in Leatherhead with the intention of starting a local wildlife rescue facility. Formally established a year later, the centre's activities steadily increased in scale; the hospital now treats more than 20,000 wild animals in a year, returning 70% of them to the wild. It has saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of animals since the charity's formation in 1980. The organisation currently operates on a budget of £350,000 per year and relies on over 300 volunteers to provide an all-year-round service. Its facilities include two operating theatres, a pathology lab, and an intensive care unit. The charity's longer-term aim is to build a larger complex on a new site that will allow the expansion of the organisation's educational programmes; the planned expansion would increase the facility's footprint to , rely heavily on eco-friendly technology, and be carbon-neutral.

As of 11 November 2011, "Wildlife Aid" was reincorporated at the Charity Commission as the "Wildlife Aid Foundation".

Wildlife SOS

In 1996, following a fire that destroyed one third of the hospital complex, Cowell found his organisation reliant on media attention for its continued survival. Cowell was approached by representatives of the newly formed Animal Planet channel to produce a television series chronicling the drama of life in the wildlife rescue facility. The show was originally produced by Cowell's Wild Productions, but later directly by the foundation, with Cowell as the presenter. It experienced long-term success; it has been cited as "the longest-running animal rescue TV series".

....Nacida en 1981 en Dordrecht, Países Bajos, Anouk Kruithof es un artista que actualmente trabaja en la Ciudad de México. Su enfoque multidisciplinario e interdisciplinario abarca fotografía, escultura, instalación, libros de artista, texto, performance, video, animación, sitios web e intervenciones en el dominio público.
El trabajo de Kruithof es una investigación sobre la representación en línea de temas sociales urgentes. En los últimos años, recopiló imágenes circulantes relacionadas con temas como la privacidad, vigilancia gubernamental, contaminación y cambio climático. Kruithof somete a un escrutinio crítico mediante la extracción de imágenes existentes de la esfera digital, y la traducción de las fotografías en su propio lenguaje visual tridimensional idiosincrásico.
Kruithof está interesada en cómo la condición psicológica humana está cambiando en momentos inestables de control sistemático, estrés y caos en el mundo tecnológicamente mediado. Ella intenta mapear estados mentales en una sociedad post-internet, manifestando relaciones invisibles en forma física e invitando a nuevas conexiones y significados para surgir.
El trabajo de Kruithof es una contribución refrescante y original a la fotografía contemporánea. Acercándose al medio desde una gran variedad de ángulos, sus obras son versátiles, desde fotografías, esculturas e instalaciones hasta videos, animaciones, publicaciones y performances. Un denominador común es su fascinación por nuestra compleja relación con el entorno físico en la era digital. La realidad tal como se representa en nuestras pantallas consiste en gran parte de imágenes procesadas y construidas que, en opinión de Kruithof, han perdido su integridad. Al mismo tiempo, adoptamos fácilmente el medio fotográfico como un medio de promoción y autovalidación. Con su trabajo Anouk Kruithof cierra la brecha entre el mundo tangible y la forma en que se manifiesta en línea.
Su trabajo ha sido exhibido internacionalmente en instituciones tales como: Museum of Modern Art, Nueva York; The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; FOAM, Amsterdam, La Boverie, Liege, MBAL Suiza; The Xiangning Art Museum, Shenzhen, China; Multimedia Art Museum en Moscow, Museo Erarta, San Petersburgo; Culture and Arts Center, Daegu Corea; Capitain-Petzel Gallery, Berlín: KIT (Kunst Im Tunnel) Düsseldorf; Temporare Kunsthalle, Berlín, Autocenter Berlín; Fotoforum, Bolzano, Knochkdown Art Center, Nueva York, bitforms gallery, Nueva York, ICP, Nueva York; Capricious Gallery, Nueva York, Higher Pictures Gallery, Nueva York, Museum het Domein Sittard, Países Bajos; Escougnou Cetraro gallery, París ,; The Netherlands Photo Museum (NFM), Rotterdam; Museo MARCA Catanzaro, Italia; MAMAC (Museo de Arte Moderno y Contemporáneo) Lieja, Bélgica, entre otros.
Anouk Kruithof recibió el premio público del Volkskrant Beeldende Kunstprijs en 2016, la Comisión de Arte de Meijburg en 2015 y ganó el Premio Charlotte Köhler en los Países Bajos en 2014. También recibió un Premio Infinity del International Center for Photography en Nueva York en 2012 y el Jury Grand Prize del Festival Internacional de Mode et de Photographie en Hyères en 2011.

El premio se lanzó por primera vez en la primavera de 2015 y ha celebrado 3 ediciones hasta ahora.
Born 1981 in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, Anouk Kruithof is an artist working in Mexico City. Her multilayered, interdisciplinary approach encompasses photography, sculpture, installation, artist-books, text, performance, video, animation, websites and interventions in the public domain.
Kruithof's work is an investigation into the online representation of urgent societal themes. Over the past few years she collected circulating images related to issues like privacy, government surveillance, pollution and climate change. Kruithof subjects these to critical scrutiny by extracting existing imagery from the digital sphere, and translating the photo- graphs into her own idiosyncratic three-dimensional visual idiom.
Kruithof is interested in how the human psychological condition is shifting in unstable times of systematic control, stress and chaos in the technologically mediated world. She attempts to map states of mind in a post-internet society, manifesting invisible relationships in physical form and inviting new connections and meanings to arise.
The work of Kruithof is a refreshingly original contribution to contemporary photography. Approaching the medium from a great variety of angles, her works are equally versatile, ranging from photographs, sculptures and installations to videos, animations, publications and performances. A common denominator is her fascination for our complex relationship with the physical environment in the digital age. Reality as depicted on our screens consists largely of processed and constructed images that, in Kruithof's view, have lost their integrity. At the same time we readily embrace the photographic medium as a means of promotion and self-validation. With her work Anouk Kruithof bridges the gap between the tangible world and the way it manifests itself online.
Her work has been exhibited internationally at institutions such as: Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; FOAM, Amsterdam, La Boverie, Liege, MBAL Switzerland; The Xiangning Art Museum, Shenzhen China; Multimedia Art Museum in Moscow, Erarta Museum, St. Petersburg; Culture and Arts Center, Daegu Korea; Capitain-Petzel Gallery, Berlin: KIT (Kunst Im Tunnel) Düsseldorf; Temporare Kunsthalle, Berlin, Autocenter Berlin; Fotoforum, Bolzano, Knochkdown Art Center, New York, bitforms gallery, New York, ICP, New York; Capricious Gallery, New York, Higher Pictures Gallery, New York, Museum het Domein Sittard, the Netherlands; Escougnou Cetraro gallery, Paris,; The Netherlands Photo Museum (NFM), Rotterdam; MARCA Museum Catanzaro, Italy; MAMAC (Museum for Modern and Contemporary Art) Liege, Belgium, among others.
Anouk Kruithof received the public prize of the Volkskrant Beeldende Kunstprijs in 2016, the Meijburg Art Commission in 2015 and won the Charlotte Köhler Prize in the Netherlands in 2014. She has also received an Infinity Award of the International Center for Photography in New York in 2012 and the Jury Grand Prize of Festival International de Mode et de Photographie in Hyères in 2011.

Unified Facilities Criteria Program
The Department of Defense (DoD) initiated the Unified Facilities Criteria Program to unify all technical criteria (UFCs) and guide specifications (UFGS) pertaining to planning, design, construction, and operation and maintenance of real property facilities. The program streamlines the military criteria system by eliminating duplication of information, increasing reliance on private-sector standards, and creating a more efficient criteria development and publishing process. Administered by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC), and the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC), the UFC Program organizes numerous working groups with one or more experts from each participating organization to develop the technical publications. Further information on the UFC program can be found in MIL-STD-3007 and in the UFC program report from the last fiscal year. UFC 1-300-01 and UFC 1-300-02 also provide information on developing UFC documents. Read More
Previously, each service had its own publishing system resulting in criteria being disseminated in different formats. UFC and UFGS documents have a uniform format and a standardized numbering scheme. Though unification of all DOD criteria is the ultimate goal, there are instances when a particular document may not apply to all services, or some documents may have not been fully revised to reflect all service requirements before being issued in the system. See the introduction to the UFC and UFGS document libraries for more information.
In 1989, DoD adopted the Construction Criteria Base (CCB) information system as the official distribution method for facilities criteria. Over the years, the military services have been instrumental in the advancement of CCB and in 2003 adopted its evolution into the Whole Building Design Guide (WBDG).

Ridgefield 8th Graders Uncover the Stories of Two People Enslaved by One of Town's Founding Families
WSP · Nov 21, 2022 ·
Ridgefield eighth graders' research into the stories of two former enslaved residents culminated with a Witness Stones installation ceremony at the Ridgefield Historical Society on Nov. 15. Photo: Annie Tucci
In the Ridgefield Press by Kaitlyn Lyle on November 21, 2022
RIDGEFIELD — Local eighth graders worked to unearth and honor the stories of two former residents who were enslaved by one of Ridgefield's founding families.
This project was incorporated into the Colonial Era unit of the eighth grade social studies curriculum at East Ridge and Scotts Ridge middle schools. Eighth graders worked with Ridgefield Historical Society and the Witness Stones Project — an organization that works with schools and community groups to "restore the history and honor the humanity" of enslaved individuals in Connecticut — to tell the story of two enslaved individuals held in captivity at the David Scott House.

Diaries of an Older Single Mum
My Famous Reviews.
My Beautiful 11 Year Old.
My eldest son, now 11.
My eldest son isn't here as I write. He's on yet another sleepover at yet another mate's house.
The last time he went there on a Friday for a couple of hours whilst his little brother was at his Dance class and I worked late, he didn't actually come home until Sunday evening!
He just tootles along at his own pace, humming his own tune, doing his own thing.
As is right.
It seems only five minutes since the day he turned ten and, oh my, how things have changed since then.
All of a sudden he seems ready for Senior School, which is a good job because he'll be starting there soon! He's all grown up in some ways and still very young in others.
He didn't want a party this year, but just to be at home with his brother and me. He asked his Godmother to make him his cake because she does them so brilliantly (think M&Ms secreted in the middle and spilling out when you cut them, something most mums can't compete with). I pretend to be offended but, really, I just want the best for him and, as a bona fide chef, she undoubtedly is that.
He makes me very proud in so many ways - how he gets on with his work at school, how he works out a tune on his keyboard, how he ploughs through books at a rate of knots, how much he loves. He's very sensitive and kind and yet stroppy as a stroppy person in a strop can be. Can't imagine where he gets that from ;).
I admire the fact he's feisty and sticks up for himself. It's something to encourage, not wanting him to be ridden roughshod over. His comebacks are brilliant.
He has a beautiful singing voice, but is too shy to do much with it. The thought of it breaking..... well, let's not go there yet.
He is a Gemini. So we have the both - the one who stands up strong, the other crippled with a lack of confidence.
The answer is generally food. Like most other 11 year olds, his appetite is his main priority and from what I hear, this is how it will be from now on. He will be eating us out of house and home this summer and I fear it will be our last as just us.
I will treasure our times down the beach together even more than usual, because he is going off into the big wide world from September. He has to travel by bus to get to his new school and will be increasingly independent. He'll be dressed in a blazer, have his own mobile phone and will make a lot of his own decisions.
He'll make new mates for his little brother to torment with hugs. They will all be embarrassed as hell and, as a result, most of the sleepovers will happen elsewhere (with any luck!).
But while he's here, still with us, still fairly little but almost as tall as me and his world still revolves around us, we are very blessed to know someone like him, very blessed by his company, very blessed in general.
At the moment he's mad about James Bond films, since they started showing them on a Sunday afternoon on TV. I bought him the whole set seeing as he didn't want a party, but, technically speaking, he's not old enough to watch them all.
And I find myself in a similar dilemma with his new bike. He now goes off on his own to his friend's house, which is hard when we've been a tight little unit for so long and done everything as one. But it's impossible to present him with it and ask otherwise.
*Sigh* We're at that inbetween age, where he still needs his mum, but it's all on his terms now, not mine.
It's all come too soon, but it's here and the tables turning isn't always a bad thing.
Yesterday, he helped me a great deal, by putting his hands on what was a painkful ankle. He used his intuitive healing abilities to manipulate it a little, told me which way to turn it a bit here and there and before very long, it had clicked back into place. What a ruddy genius. I'd been limping all day!
But that's my Beautiful 11 Year Old for you and the wondering what time he'll be home has begun!

Letting go is hard, isn't it. Our girls desperately want their independence, and we want to give it to them, but we also want to be one step behind them - to catch them, stand them back up, and dust them down. It's hard.

Love this poignant post to your gorgeous 11-year-old son. Make the most of every minute with him... they grow up too fast and on with their own lives all too soon :o)
Thank you Izzie. I am watching and admiring it happening at your end, sadly but proud of you all xx
Rachel Selby 14 June 2016 at 18:17
Wow he seems to have a gift for healing. He should explore that maybe. He sounds like the perfect son. Happy Birthday xxx
He certainly does Rachel and I will encourage him to pursue it. He's a great boy despite bring rather age-related stroppy. I couldn't ask for more from a son xx

Led by Jumping Worm researcher Katie Laushman (UW Nelson Institute, Environment and Resources), the entire Pairie Intern crew and UW Preserve staff were out today to begin monitoring the presence of Jumping Worms in the Preserve. They first tested the large leaf compost pile accumulated from deliveries of leaf pick-ups by the Village of Shrorewood Hills. After establishing the presence of Asian Jumping Worms at the bottom of the pile, the crew fanned out into Bill's Woods to survey for the presence of the undesirable worms in the Preserve, if any. To learn more about the worms, their spread in Wisconsin and Best Practices to minimize spread, read the UW Arboretum Public Information Sheet. Katie Laushman studies the effect of Jumping Worms (Amynthas spp.) on above-ground woodland vegetation. Photos Gisela Kutzbach.
Blue Heron and the Sandhill Crane family. The colt looks almost like a teenager.
Alert! Say the postures of the three Sandhill Cranes watching the Blue Heron. The Sandhill crane family has taken over the comfortable grass island at the mouth of Willow Creek at University Bay. They have many visitors, such swallows and ducks, but they seemed to be a little startled when the Blue Heron came so close. Hunting for fish, frogs and other edible creatures is excellent in the shallows water. On the misty morning the day before, even the elusive Green Heron ventured here and caught a hearty breakfast. Various sandpipers are visiting the sandbar further out in the Bay.

Well... this is fantastic. Reminds me of the endlessly repeating "Dinosaur Comics" technique -- if the dinosaurs arrested/moved/irritated/transported me more than I'd like to admit. Toothsome art, too.
amazing on a lot of levels. I love how he handles time—particularly the pauses in this "conversation" where implied thought takes place (black boxes, or boxes with no text), which give the reader permission or room or encouragement to reflect. It creates real movement where otherwise there's pure stasis, at least in terms of the imagery (those two clown faces, with no changes in expression).


'There is always an underlying desire [for an exhibition] to present to the viewer a comprehensive picture of a particular activity, ' writes the recently deceased Edward D Mills in the catalogue to this Heinz Gallery show.
Exhibitions, in other words, are about communication, and it is probably no coincidence that the 100 years from 1851 - the high point of architects' involvement with exhibition design - also encompass the greatest confusion over architecture's potential to communicate. It is certainly true that architects whose work tended towards the abstract were quite happy designing stands where labels, and other advertising or exhibits, leavened austerity under the guise of being functional.
If exhibition design satisfied an unrecognised gap in the modern architectural subconscious, there were more pressing reasons why its practitioners took such commissions, as this show makes clear. The first was that exhibitions were a source of work. Product manufacturers, notably Jack Prichard at the Venesta plywood company (who gave Le Corbusier his only British commission), had a hunger for new design. A fine example is Valentine Harding and Godfrey Samuel's 1937 scheme for the United Steel Companies: neatly planned and imaginatively incorporating an I-beam as a cornice, it prefigures a Brutalist obsession with using everyday products in a way which exploits their inherent qualities. It is hard to believe that Maxwell Fry's design, which was eventually chosen, could have been so elegant.
Wartime, too, brought a need for exhibitions, to explain various aspects of increasing state control in private lives.
Another reason for becoming involved in exhibition design, as Neville Conder says in the catalogue, is that mistakes are thrown away after two weeks. Transience is inherent, and this quality was almost equally redolent for progressive architects in the 1950s as communication. These ambiguities underlay the schism which arose as a result of the Festival of Britain; that worked as popular communication and was temporary but, thought the Smithsons and their friends, it was not architecture. They responded with 'This is Tomorrow' at the Whitechapel, where popular culture and high art mixed with a self-consciousness that the festival avoided by being naive.
But it was not always so. In the first third of the twentieth century an important strand of exhibition design was for the numerous national fairs, or, when located in Britain, Empire exhibitions (as at Wembley in 1924 and Glasgow in 1938).
Robert Atkinson, AA principal from 1913-20, had a tidy sideline in knocking out Neo-Classical pavilions, such as the British pavilion at Paris in 1925. No doubt the intention, as with the British Empire exhibition at Wembley the previous year - concrete structures with Classical cladding - was to suggest the permanence of imperial power. With Oliver Hill's design for Paris in 1937, though, Modernism had arrived, even if relieved by a Swedish-style window which looks as if it were liftSpence's Montreal Expo pavilion: 'it makes Knightsbridge Barracks look beautiful' ed straight from the RIBA. The kindest thing which can be said about Sir Basil Spence's pavilion for the Montreal Expo in 1967 is that it made the Home Office and Knightsbridge barracks look beautiful.
The exhibition makes a clear distinction between temporary stand design and permanent halls for short-life exhibitions, such as the NEC designed by Edward Mills. Yet Mills' far more elegant British Industry Pavilion for Expo '58 in Brussels gives the lie to this: a neat glass box with minimal structure, it prefigures the Pompidou Centre without the frills, and after the Expo finished, it was re-erected as the Expo Hall in Hilversum, Holland - a happier end than Grimshaw's Seville Expo pavilion rusting in packing cases off the North Circular Road.


Blue jeans maker Levi Strauss & Co. (LEVI) is expected to IPO on Thursday, March 21. At a price range of $14-$16 per share, the company plans to sell up to $150 million of shares with an expected market cap of ~$5.8 billion. Current shareholders will also sell up to $435 million of shares in the IPO. At the midpoint of the IPO price range, LEVI currently earns a very attractive rating.
Unlike the vast majority of recent IPO's, LEVI is highly profitable and relatively cheap. However, the high number of insiders selling shares in the IPO should give investors pause. In addition, the company's dual-class share structure gives the Haas family – descendants of founder Levi Strauss – total control while preventing public shareholders from having a say on corporate governance.
This report aims to help investors sort through Levi Strauss' financial filings to understand the fundamentals and valuation of this IPO.
Even though LEVI has been a private company since 1985, the company has public debt, so it files regular 10-Ks. These filings give more history to analyze than the minimum two years that most IPO companies provide.
Figure 1 shows that investors who rely on GAAP net income get the wrong impression about the recent trend in LEVI's profitability. LEVI's GAAP net income increased significantly in 2016 and has stagnated the past two years. Meanwhile economic earnings – the true cash flows of the business – declined in 2016 and 2017 before rising 34% in 2018.
LEVI reported a $143 million (3% of revenue) one-time tax expense in 2018 due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
LEVI also reported $44 million (1% of revenue) in non-recurring expense due to changes in the fair value of its stock-based compensation. This charge relates to cash-settled awards that were made in the past but increased in value in 2018 as the value of the company increased.
Investors that just look at GAAP net income will miss the significant growth in LEVI's business in 2018.
LEVI has become synonymous with blue jeans throughout its 165-year history. In fact, it was the first company formed to manufacture blue jeans.
Reliance on a single line of products carries risk for any company, especially one in a fad-driven industry like clothing. The rise of athleisure – and companies like Lululemon (LULU) – put significant pressure on LEVI, as evidenced by the company's declining economic earnings in 2016-2017.
In response to this shift in consumer demand, CEO Chip Bergh, who took over in 2011, has worked hard to diversify LEVI's revenue streams away from its core business of men's blue jeans. The company now has rapidly growing product lines in t-shirts, fleeces, and a variety of women's apparel. Figure 2 shows that the percentage of LEVI's units sold coming from bottoms has dropped from 82% in 2014 to 68% in 2018, while its share of revenue from men's products is down from 77% in 2014 to 69% in 2018.
LEVI's core men's pants business grew revenues by just 3% year-over-year in 2018, but the company as a whole grew revenue by 14%. The main drivers of revenue growth last year were tops – which grew by 38% – and women's bottoms – up 16%.
In addition to diversifying its product line, LEVI has expanded its direct-to-consumer (DTC) business from 29% of revenue in 2015 to 35% of revenue in 2018. DTC sales earn higher margins by eliminating the cut taken by the third-party retailer. From 2015 to 2018, LEVI's gross margins improved from 51% to 54%.
With DTC driving higher margins and new product lines driving revenue growth, LEVI looks to be in the early stages of a significant turnaround. If the company can continue to execute on these strategies, it should be able to continue growing economic earnings as it did in 2018.
While LEVI's business appears to be headed in a positive direction, the corporate governance leaves much to be desired. The company will offer Class A shares – which have one vote – in the IPO, while insiders will retain Class B shares – which have 10 votes. The Haas family hold the majority of Class B shares, and they are also selling the majority of the shares that will be available in the IPO.
In effect, this means LEVI, while technically a public company, will still be run as a family business. What's more, the family that controls the business is about to sell off hundreds of millions worth of stock.
This dual-class share structure has become the norm in recent IPO's, but those have mostly been tech companies led by "visionary" founders. Non-tech businesses haven't been able to get away with this sort of poor governance in the past, and it seems that investors may be punishing LEVI for it based on its cheap valuation.
Numerous case studies show that getting return on invested capital (ROIC) right is an important part of making smart investments. Ernst & Young recently published a white paper that proves the material superiority of my firm's forensic accounting research and measure of ROIC. Harvard Business School features the technology that empowers this research.
Per Figure 3, ROIC explains 70% of the difference in valuation for the 26 companies in LEVI's competitive peer group from its S-1. LEVI is valued at a significant discount to its peers based on its position below the trendline.
Based on its enterprise value to invested capital (a cleaner version of price to book) of 2.7, the market expects LEVI's ROIC to decrease from 17% to 11%. Notably, LEVI's worst ROIC in the past five years was 14% in 2017.
If LEVI were to trade at parity with its peers, the stock would be worth $28/share, an 89% upside from the midpoint of the proposed IPO range.
At the midpoint of LEVI's IPO range – $15/share – the stock has a price to economic book value of 1.1. This ratio means the market expects LEVI to grow after-tax operating profit (NOPAT) by no more than 10% over the remainder of its corporate life. This expectation seems pessimistic for a company that grew NOPAT by 28% last year alone.
If LEVI can maintain 2018 NOPAT margins of 9% and grow NOPAT by 4% compounded annually (McKinsey's projection for the growth rate of the fashion industry) for the next 10 years, the stock is worth $19/share today, a 29% upside from the current stock price. See the math behind this dynamic DCF scenario.
Do LEVI's poor governance practices warrant a 29% discount to fair value? That's a question investors will have to answer themselves.
Income Statement: I made $413 million of adjustments, with a net effect of removing $199 million in non-operating expense (4% of revenue). You can see all the adjustments made to LEVI's income statement here.
Balance Sheet: I made $2.3 billion of adjustments to calculate invested capital with a net increase of $395 million. You can see all the adjustments made to LEVI's balance sheet here.
Valuation: I made $2.8 billion of adjustments with a net effect of decreasing shareholder value by $1.9 billion. Despite this decrease in valuation, LEVI remains undervalued. You can see all adjustments made to LEVI's valuation here.
 Ernst & Young's recent white paper "Getting ROIC Right" demonstrates the link between an accurate calculation of ROIC and shareholder value.
