Capital FM Kenya: Ancient wheat plague threatens world crops anew

Capital FM Kenya: Ancient wheat plague threatens world crops anew: "The disease is now widespread in eastern Africa and threatens to move deep into the Middle East and Asia, where it could devastate farms, cause rising bread prices and unleash political and economic unrest, experts say.

Already, the strain has shown up in Iran and in Yemen, Osama bin Laden's ancestral homeland which has plunged into political turmoil in the past five months amid deadly fighting over the future of the country.

Rising food prices have also been a factor in a series of uprisings across the Arab world, Mexico, Haiti and beyond.
'Yemen is a big problem,' said Coffman, who as Borlaug's one-time doctoral student is now carrying on his mentor's lifelong mission to spread strong crops around the world and provide steady food sources to the poor. Borlaug died in 2009.

Whipping winds can transport spores as many as 100 miles (160 kilometers) per day, raising concerns among scientists about where the epidemic could turn up next.

'From Yemen, the wind currents are such that it could be carried to almost any part of the world -- winds blow into south Asia, they blow into central Asia, they blow into Europe even,' Coffman told AFP."

Performance Benefits

Performance Benefits: "Latency between the client (user) and DNS resolving server. In most cases this is largely due to the usual round-trip time (RTT) constraints in networked systems: geographical distance between client and server machines; network congestion; packet loss and long retransmit delays (one second on average); overloaded servers, denial-of-service attacks and so on.
Latency between resolving servers and other nameservers. This source of latency is caused primarily by the following factors:
Cache misses. If a response cannot be served from a resolver's cache, but requires recursively querying other nameservers, the added network latency is considerable, especially if the authoritative servers are geographically remote.
Underprovisioning. If DNS resolvers are overloaded, they must queue DNS resolution requests and responses, and may begin dropping and retransmitting packets."

Can I use the DNS Made Easy name server for my resolving name server? - Powered By Kayako SupportSuite: "Can I use the DNS Made Easy name server for my resolving name server?

Solution
The DNS Made Easy name servers are only authoritative name servers. This means that they should not be used for normal resolution since they will not respond for any domain that is not in the DNS Made Easy system.

Resolving name servers will be the systems that access the DNS Made Easy name servers. These are usually provided by your ISP or are on your local network. The reason for this is that you always want to have your resolving name servers as close as possible for latency reasons.

Fourth time's a charm? Why Apple has trouble with cloud computing

Fourth time's a charm? Why Apple has trouble with cloud computing: "Designers in Charge

Apple has always been primarily a user interface company. A good UI has a minimal set of consistent, well-designed interface elements that economize on the user's scarce attention and take advantage of her muscle memory. The first iPod, for example, wasn't a major breakthrough from a technological perspective (indeed, a lot of commentators sneered at it when it was released), but the experience of using it was vastly superior to other music players on the market at the time. Removing unnecessary features can be more important than adding new ones. Steve Jobs's obsession with removing clutter can be seen in the one-button iPhone, the no-button MacBook trackpad, and the aggressive removal of outdated Mac ports."

Budget Worries Hinder Ability to Fix Economy

Budget Worries Hinder Ability to Fix Economy: "But that would have required a much larger stimulus package delivered over a longer period of time than was politically feasible.

There are many explanations for the less than fully aggressive response, including ideological opposition to government involvement in the private sector from Libertarians and Republicans; but a big factor has been fear of an exploding public debt.

We were already running a large deficit when the recession hit. The Bush tax cuts, combined with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, explain much of the deterioration in the budget from the surpluses of the Clinton years. Had we made the sacrifices necessary to fund the wars instead of borrowing to pay for them, and if we had not embarked upon a budget-busting trickle down policy of tax cuts for the wealthy, the budget would have been in much better shape when the recession hit and our response could have been much more aggressive.

There are good reasons to take on debt when the economy goes into a recession, and current fears about the debt are overblown. There is no sign that financial markets are worried and we ought to be doing more. But support for borrowing at the level that is needed has been lacking among policymakers in Congress."

Yellow River

Yellow River: "The course of the river has changed back and forth between the route of the Huai River and the original route of the Yellow River several times over the past 700 years. The consequent buildup of silt deposits was so heavy that the Huai River was unable to flow in its historic course after the Yellow River reverted to its northerly course for the last time in 1897. Instead, the water pools up into Hongze Lake and then runs southward toward the Yangtze River.

                                            Yellow River- By: IPDaily.biz

Floods on the river account for some of the deadliest natural disasters ever recorded. The flatness of North China Plain contributes to the deadliness of the floods. A slight rise in water level means a large portion of land is completely covered in water. When a flood occurs, a portion of the population initially dies from drowning, then by the spread of diseases and the ensuing famine."

The Yellow River, By IPDaily.biz has had many course changes over the years. Now it's concept goes beyond the humorous to the two important concepts:

1) Every website has it's own unique domain. Domains that are easier to remember and have some sort of "natural traffic" have specific advantages. Even if the domain only has a "silly name" such IPDaily.biz, chances are it will get some traffic.

2) Every domain needs to be sitting on some sort of name server, this is called a Domain Name Server, and normally this will be a specific IP adress or sometimes two IP adresses.

3) Every IP address resolves down to a specific set of numbers such as 209.85.229.191 when you search on any given domain name using certain domain tools you may find the IP adress where it resides.

Groupon, Google on Different Paths to Contextual Discovery - Search Engines - News & Reviews - eWeek.com: "The first week of June 2011 may be looked back on as the week Groupon and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) reached pivotal points in their paths toward contextual discovery.

Groupon filed for a $750 million initial public offering and is making investors pull their hair out over the fact that the company owes $230 million and is burning through $100 million a quarter.

With 83.1 million subscribers snapping up over 70 million discounts since March, Groupon is the unquestioned leader in contextual discovery. That is, bringing consumers what they want based on preferences and tastes, rather than making them type search queries to find goods and services.

This is a burgeoning market without a barrier to entry that scares financial pros. Throw a rock, and it seems you'll hit a local deals service. There are even hyper-local deals that focus on specific niches."

Pawlenty Plan: Deep Tax Cuts and a ‘Google Test’ - Washington Wire - WSJ

Pawlenty Plan: Deep Tax Cuts and a ‘Google Test’ - Washington Wire - WSJ: "Mr. Pawlenty wants to reduce the corporate tax rate from 35% to 15% and create just two tax brackets for individuals and families: a 10% rate on the first $50,000 of income for individuals – or $100,000 for married couples – and a 25% rate for all other income. In addition, he will call for the elimination of taxes on capital gains, dividends, interest income and inheritance.

One challenge for Mr. Pawlenty is to show that his plan would not explode a deficit that is expected to top $1.6 trillion, given that cutting rates so steeply could prompt a fall-off in tax revenues. The plan could expose Mr. Pawlenty to criticism from Democrats or even rivals for the Republican presidential nomination who have all made deficit-reduction a hallmark of the primary fight."

Amazon`s Cloud Drive Music Service: Why It's Not Ready for Prime Time - Mobile and Wireless - News & Reviews - eWeek.com

Amazon`s Cloud Drive Music Service: Why It's Not Ready for Prime Time - Mobile and Wireless - News & Reviews - eWeek.com: "Amazon announced its new Cloud Drive music service last week. It seems innocent enough: You create an Amazon Cloud Drive account and then select the music you already own but want to access with your mobile devices. You upload the selected music to the Amazon Cloud Drive server (five gigabytes are free) and then download an Android mobile player. The Amazon Cloud Drive then streams your music to your Android mobile device (with other mobile platforms likely to follow).

Seems like a good idea, right? I don’t think it will be successful. Here’s why.

I love to listen to music, whether it’s while I’m writing this column, on a flight or when I’m walking Fritzie, my little dachshund. Sometimes I prefer to listen to my own music, while at other times I prefer to listen to “radio stations” supplied by firms such as Pandora. Now that each of us has the ability to store our own music most anywhere (and very often also a wireless connection with which to play the music), the question becomes: How can you best find and play the music you’re interested in?"

Editors Note Continues-After all this well intentioned and properly documented literary reference, I have no hesitation to continue to share excerpt of this rather lengthy although extremely interesting breaking news piece:

The People's Daily, which writes on behalf of China's Communist Party, said June 6 that Google made its claims out of "a vicious intent of sparking new disputes concerning Internet security between China and the U.S," according to the Wall Street Journal.

People's Daily editor Zhang Yixuan also lobbed a veiled threat at the search engine when he wrote in the front-page editorial:

"Google shouldn't engulf itself in the international political war as a tool for political gaming," If there is "any change in the international atmosphere, I am afraid Google will become a target to be sacrificed by politics, and also will be discarded by the market."

Editors Subsequent Note:

Please notice exactly who is doing the talking for China, and also that their comments are directed at the US based-internet giant- Google. This being picked up according to The Wall Street Journal. The subtext to this entire thing of course being, China is clearly and seemingly (notice my hedge) in some very obtuse way attempting to assert some convoluted sense of diplomatic immunity!

Lets get the absolute newsworthy item out there, after all these fireworks:

  "      Google June 1disrupted a phishing scam that duped senior U.S. government officials, Chinese political activists, and others into giving up their Gmail passwords so that an attacker could read and forward their e-mail messages                                                           

                                                                                                                  "
I like so many other internet and aspiring internet professionals am major user of Google technology, yes I love Google (partly because their technology makes things so easy)- although I am concerned about, (like any good American should be) how much information they (Google) truly have at their fingertips. I also have recently adopted a more global outlook on the importance of the large and great nation of China.

It seems when going down the archives of History one might recall one salient feature of Nixon's presidency as a huge scandal and corresponding cover-up (WaterGate).

Perhaps Nixon's finest moment (please do not mis-interpret I am by any stretch of the imagination even close to being a "bible thumping Republican") was in his developing excellent diplomatic relations with China,

Sending pandas to America has been a Chinese tradition since the Nixons’ trip to China in February 1972. This “panda diplomacy” – the Chinese government loaning pandas to foreign countries as gestures of goodwill – has been occurring for hundreds of years, but took on a special significance with the United States because of the breakthrough in relations and cultural interconnections it represented. Its roots can be traced to a dinner between Zhou En-lai and the Nixon party.

As Zhou and President Nixon traded toasts at one of half a dozen official galas, the dawn of a new beginning was in the air. Seated next to the Chinese Premier, Mrs. Nixon and Zhou discussed her tours throughout Peking, specifically her visit to the Peking Zoo to see the pandas. On the table in front of her, she noticed a box of cigarettes wrapped in pink tissue and decorated with Chinese pandas. Showing it to him, she remarked how enamored she was with them: “Aren’t they cute? I love them.” “I’ll give you some,” he replied, and arrangements were made to ship two pandas to the National Zoo in Washington.

Editors Concluding Note:

In as much as life itself has some more pressing needs I will simply exit this growing article which clearly is pulling me into it the entire thing as more than simply an interesting passing interest.

Therefore I would like to add that I am indeed a WebMaster who has a domain which is related to the title of this blog. The domain is not yet launched , this blog was in part an pre-launch series.

 Finally I need to add that Big Business, Blogging and SEO is not entirely without a sense of humor:

The domain name is; IPDaily.biz, and as it name may more clearly indicate, in our very competitive world of domain buying and selling, there are several "idea or even domains that imply a sense of humor'" please recall the old Jr. High School joke which may start off something like this:

                    The Yellow River or Huang He / Hwang Ho is the second-longest river in China (after theYangtze River) and the sixth-longest in the world at the estimated length of 5,464 kilometers (3,395 mi)

When it premiered at the Houston Grand Opera in 1987, John Adams' "Nixon in China" broke new ground. Here was an American opera reflecting on a recent historical event and exploring issues of contemporary media, politics, and culture. In its debut at the venerated Metropolitan Opera more than 20 years later, the work retains its cutting-edge status. Opera is still primarily seen as a vehicle for musical showmanship rather than as a means to convey social commentary. Peter Sellars restages his original mammoth production, and Mark Morris also repeats his 1987 choreography. It's a feast for the ears and eyes, with Sellars skillfully manipulating a huge cast amidst Adrianne Lobel's suggestive scenery and Adams' weirdly beautiful and insistent rhythms propelling Alice Goodman's poetic libretto.

A simple difference I have noticed when attempting to use the permalink ( 801,000,000 references on google yet it redlines on the BlogSpot WYSIWYG editor)  to a given post for subsequent posting on other platforms such as Facebook, is that the first several line of what the individual post is all about, never gets picked up in the Facebook feed, yet the topic of the blog, or the entire blogs own 'meta description ' does. I have seen others ask this very question, and I know it does have a corresponding feature in WordPress, and perhaps may require a specific feature or gadget to be created or activated in BlogSpot.

Thomas Edison- Great Inventor or Great Team Builder?

I believe it was in the introduction of this book that its authors explained that while it is well know that Thomas Edison was the person generally acknowledged and credited with the "invention" of the light bulb, had it not been for the team he had built, tirelessly trying, and experimenting with different filaments and the development of the vacuum glass enclosure, nothing would have ever come of his amazing discovery. -Stephen C. Sanders, recalling a section from The Orange Revolution: How One Great Team Can Transform an Entire Organization By Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton.

Entrepreneurs and Inventors Need Each Other

March 28, 2011 by Marty Zwilling

In my experience, inventors aren’t interested or aren’t very good at building a business, and entrepreneurs aren’t usually good scientists. These people need to find each other, and can jointly make a great team for a new startup.

1 Tip of a Flat Belly: A Surprising New Way to Burn Fat Quickly | WeeklyHealthNews

1 Tip of a Flat Belly: A Surprising New Way to Burn Fat Quickly | WeeklyHealthNews: "By Karen Simpson | Published: June 1, 2011

Passaic, NJ (WeeklyHealthNews) - Losing weight often feels like an impossible challenge. We have evaluted numerous fad diets over the years. All too frequently their results are just shy of painfully disappointing.

                     Editors Note: quinoa, easier to say than spell, our Rabbi has been talking
                     about this food every time Passover rolls around, but guess what? When
                     its not Peysach this "Super Food" tastes great and is a complete protein.
                     No more having to always deprive yourself of carbs because this food
                     is balanced, a complete protein!

 Derived from the Spanish spelling of the Quechua name kinwa or occasionally "Qin-wah", Quinoa originated in the Andean region ofSouth America, where it was successfully domesticated 3000 to 4000 years ago for human consumption, though archeological evidence shows a non-domesticated association with pastoral herding some 5200 to 7000 years ago

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinoa

Could it be that the answer to how to get all the nutrients you need as well as feeling satisfied and having it all at a low cost might finally be: Oh its easy!





The reason for why most diets fail, in our opinion, is that they impose unrealistic restrictions on how you live your life. Some advocate eating tons of protein others emphasize carbohydrates. In either case, you're left with having to make rather drastic changes to the types of food you eat and when you eat it. In this special report, we take an in-depth look at an emerging and promising weight loss trend that we believe is a game changer, and it won't break the bank."

Most webmasters are familiar with HTML tags on their pages. Usually, HTML tags tell the browser how to display the information included in the tag. For example,

Avatar

tells the browser to display the text string 'Avatar' in a heading 1 format. However, the HTML tag doesn't give any information about what that text string means—'Avatar' could refer to the a hugely successful 3D movie, or it could refer to a type of profile picture—and this can make it more difficult for search engines to intelligently display relevant content to a user.

When Facebook rolled out its Send button last week, I laughed. I even mocked on Twitter that Facebook wouldn’t be happy until our pages were full of buttons. But the Send button, as well as integrating other aspects of Facebook into websites, does make a lot of sense. In fact, it’s beginning to make so much sense I’ve begun to wonder if Facebook has won the battle to be the one true login."

Apple’s dominance of the category is sinking in among other tablet vendors, according to J.P. Morgan. As spotted by Appleinsider, tablet makers like Motorola (NYSE: MMI), Samsung and Research in Motion (NSDQ: RIMM) are said to have reduced their manufacturing plans by around 15 percent, with some of the other non-Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) players in the tablet game cutting plans even further.

What makes Buzz ROCK - Going Buzz

What makes Buzz ROCK - Going Buzz: "If a post sits too long and no one has commented or liked it, chances are no one saw it. It was lost in your followers' Buzz stream. Not for all of your posts but if it's one you want people to see because you need help, feedback or want discussion, comment on your own posts to bump it up in the Buzz stream. For instance, when I requested and linked to someone needing help, those that could help weren't here at the time so I bumped it up a few times during the day til someone 'arrived'. If it still goes without comments, don't SWEAT it. Not everything you post needs to generate a conversation. Sometimes it's read and appreciated anyway. 

5. COMMENT again.
But this time in a LOT of other people's posts, and with the same variety I mentioned, addressing other comments, and commentors @linking where you can, as well as the post itself. 

6. LIKING.
When you don't have a comment, decide your criteria for liking a post. If you do have a comment you can still like it. Likes are very important to people. My generalized 'liking' criteria is the following but you decide your own: "

Setting Up Your Google Profile for Google Buzz Users | StayOnSearch: "Is it silly to think of being active on Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube without fully filling out your profiles on those networks? Then what about the people who are active on Buzz, but have not completed their Google Profile?

Google Profiles let you enter a lot of information about yourself, from your current job position, location, schools, interests, etc. The beauty is you can also have links – lots of them – with keyword anchor text. And if you have had your account for awhile (I’m not sure when the “cutoff” date way) your links may all be dofollow."

There's is A Lot More to Living Healthy than Starving Yourself and Doing Vigorous Exercise

There's is A Lot More to Living Healthy than Starving Yourself and Doing Vigorous Exercise

By: Petrona Alexon

You'd be surprised how many people believe they must deprive themselves of their favorite foods in their attempts to live healthier lives. Others exercise constantly, certain that that's the right path to a healthy lifestyle. The truth is that you can get started living a healthier life using simple and easy methods.

Do you go to a gym for a couple of hours of exercising virtually every day, all in the name of being healthier? The good news is you don't need to. In fact, a good alternative can be just going out for a walk now and then. On my work days, I myself like to grab a quick bite at lunchtime and then go outside for a 20 minute walk around the office. Lots of people choose to head outside for a little fresh air as they walk, rain or shine. But just walking will help you start circulating your blood flow and help carry oxygen to your brain.

Of course, it doesn't end there. What's the first thing most of us do in the morning? We snatch a cup or two of coffee, right? But why caffein and not tea? When you drink tea, you aren't going to have mid-morning caffeine crash to deal with. Better yet, with certain varieties of tea, you may find that you have even more vim and zip than from coffee.

One huge misconception is that you have to starve yourself if you want to live healthy. Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is that by merely making healthier choices, you can continue eating almost all of the things you love. Take pizza, for example. But you don't have to eat the prepared frozen pizzas you can get in the stores. Even though it is normally cheap and easy to heat up, it simply isn't great for you. Make your own pizza with better ingredients. Fortunately, you'll see a natural foods aisle at most mnarkets where you can get what you need. Thus, you can savor your pizza and continue living healthy.

Another simple thing you can do is to stop consuming sugar and sweets. While this sounds virtually impossible to a lot of us, you'll see that it's much easier than you may think. Or how about a hopt cup nice, hot chocolate flavored with a good, low calorie sweetener? Fabulous.

Another very important facet to all this is obtaining plenty of sleep. Not getting sufficient sleep is detrimental to your health. You can greatly improve your health merely by getting sufficient sleep - ordinarily roughly eight hours per night. When we are sleep deprived, 6 hours or less a night, we're less cheerful and less snappy. When we are able to get to sleep for a full 8 hours, we're more enjoyable to be with and things just seems to go well.

As you can see, there are numerous tiny things we can do to attain a better lifestyle. It's up to you. The decision is yours, and yours alone.
