FAO is working to strengthen the organizational capacities of youth organizations and individual capacities of youth agri-entrepreneurs to engage in responsible investment in agriculture and food systems. This includes the development and application of capacity assessment tools, such as the one that has been applied in four workshops with a total of over 100 participants from Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, Senegal, South Africa and Uganda. This tools guides stakeholders through a set of questions to assess the existing and needed capacities for youth to implement and benefit from investments.

Here is another view of my capacity test. The R282 is a sharp curve only 282mm in radius (11"), but I started and ended each curve with a wider radius to keep my long passenger cars and big steam engines on the track. This single track reversing loop is right at 2 feet wide and 4 1/2 feet long, and it can hold a train over 6 feet long (10 passenger cars or 18 freight cars plus three diesel units. It is the smallest permissible loop for the length of cars I run.
Reversing loops are not supposed be realistic. They are "hidden trackage" for turning trains around so the observer doesn't see the same train only running in one direction. Therefore, the track radius can be much sharper as long as the train stays on track. I set up and tested single, double, and triple track reversing loops last week. Not all of my equipment runs this well on my smallest loop, so those trains will have to use the outer, wider loops I tested.
My regular mainline radius uses R718 for an easement to start the curve and R481 (19") for most of the curve. That gives me an effective radius of 21.5" that looks so much better.

Brewery Capacity Quotient (BCQ)
I'm no statistician, but to compare per capita brewery count with per capita production over different years (comparing apples and oranges), I've created the BREWERY CAPACITY QUOTIENT (BCQ).
BCQ = [ (# of breweries * barrels per 100k population) / 1028.619] * 100
For any given year, the product of the total number of breweries multiplied by the number of barrels produced nationally per every 100,000 citizens is divided by 1,028.619 and that result multiplied by 100.
I use the number 1,028.619 as the constant in the denominator because it's the product of the number of breweries in 1873 multiplied by the barrel production per 100,00 population that year. I chose 1873 as the baseline because, until 2015, that was the year that comprised the most breweries in the nation, but for a much smaller population, and thus indicating an evident capacity.
***************
So,
In 1873:
There were 4,131 breweries in the U.S. for a nationwide population of 38,555,983. That would be the historically high count of breweries (until 2015). Per 100,000 citizens, there were 10.74 breweries that year. In total, those breweries produced 9,633,323 barrels of beer: 0.249 barrels (7.74 gallons) of beer per person.
▶ BCQ = 100
In 1980:
There were 44 breweries for a population of 226,545,805, a post-Revolutionary War nadir, equal to .194 breweries per 100,000 citizens. In total, these few breweries produced 188,373,657 barrels of beer: 0.8315 barrels (2015 gallons) of beer per person.
▶ BCQ = 3.5
In 2015:
There were 4,144 breweries in a population of 320,090,857, the most breweries ever in the nation. That was 1.29 breweries for every 100,000 citizens. In total, these breweries produced 174,721,000 barrels of beer (13.65 million fewer barrels than in 1980). Per capita, that was 0.545 barrels (16.92 gallons) of beer per person.
▶ BCQ = 219
****************
▶ Note that the BCQ was tiny in 1980, but in 2015 was more than twice that in 1873.

The seminar, Capacity Development: Building Institutions and Beyond, will explore the challenges and hard choices involved in developing institutional capacity. Strengthening state institutions, such as central banks and finance ministries, can contribute to economic stability and growth, but often requires a coherent change-management reform agenda and strong political leadership. What does “building institutions” really mean for those who implement changes on the ground? What can countries and development partners do to strengthen institutions? How can capacity development efforts become more conducive to sustainable development? These questions will be discussed during the Capacity Development session at the IMF headquarters during the 2019 IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings April 10, 2019 in Washington, DC. IMF Staff Photograph
President Bush thanks troops, families, commends alliance
by R. Slade Walters, IMCOM-K Public Affairs Office
YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea— President George W. Bush spoke to a full-capacity crowd of service members, families and civilian employees here at U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan Collier Field House Aug. 6.
The president arrived to the enthusiastic cheers of more than a thousand Americans who serve, live and work on the Korean peninsula along with their Republic of Korea military counterparts. Bush thanked the service members for their dedicated service, lauded military families and commended the U.S. alliance with the Republic of Korea, which has endured for 55 years.
“The American people are grateful for your service and so is your Commander in Chief,” Bush said. “So to the military spouses and to the children who are here, please know that the United States of America is grateful for the sacrifices that you all are making on behalf of our country. And I am proud to be in your presence.” To ROK military personnel, Bush said “We’re honored by your friendship. We’re proud of our alliance, and we’re inspired by your work to advance the cause of liberty.”
Bush commented on the historical importance of the ROK-US alliance for the region. “Fifty-five years have passed since the guns went quiet and the cease-fire was signed on this peninsula,” Bush said. “And since that time our forces have kept the peace. Our nations have built a robust alliance.”
The president described the Korean people and the Korean military as strong allies to the United States. “Thanks to the contribution of men and women who are wearing the uniform just like you, the partnership between America and Korea has become one of the great success stories of modern times,” Bush said.
The president also stated that working with its ROK allies to help build a free and prosperous country was good for America and enhances U.S. national security. In his remarks, the president underscored the fact that the U.S. Army in Korea is undergoing one of the largest transformations in its history in support of the alliance. “As South Korea has grown in strength, it takes a larger role, more significant role in its own defenses,” Bush said.
“The bedrock of this alliance is our belief in liberty,” the president said. “And there is no place on earth that clearly demonstrates the contrast between free and open societies, and repressive, closed societies than the Korean peninsula.”
Applause erupted from the crowd as the president discussed working with U.S. allies in Asia to deter the North Korean nuclear program. “We are going to stand united with South Korea and China and Japan and Russia until we reach our ultimate goal -- and that is a Korean peninsula where people are free from nuclear weapons and free from oppression.” Bush said.
The president was joined by his wife, Laura, his daughter, Barbara, his brother Marvin and his sister-in-law Margaret.

Residence of H. H. Loring, Attorney
Date: 1911

Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: Remark: H. H. Loring and his wife Emily resided at 305 Lafayette Street in Valparaiso, Porter County, Indiana. It is believed that this house still stands in 2021.
The following biography of Hannibal H. Loring is contained in Goodspeed Brothers' 1894 Pictorial and Biographical Record of La Porte, Porter, Lake and Starke Counties, Indiana."
PROF. HANNIBAL H. LORING. The pursuits of life are as varied as are the tastes and capacities of men, and it is an interesting and useful study to observe the degree of their assimilation. Among the prominent educators of Porter County, Indiana, is Prof. Loring, the popular and efficient Superintendent of Schools of Porter County. His is an old Colonial family of Scotch-Irish origin, and in tracing the genealogy we find that the first members to come to this country were three brothers, who settled in Massachusetts about the middle of the seventeenth century. Samuel Loring, grandfather of our subject, moved from Kentucky to Darke County, Ohio, between 1808 and 1812, and was among the first settlers of Greenville, that county. About 1828 he moved to St. Joseph County, Indiana, and there passed the closing scenes of his life. His son, John Loring, father of our subject, was born in the Blue Grass regions of Kentucky about 1804, and when about four years of age was taken by his parents to Ohio. Although the pioneer schools of that day afforded poor advantages for an education, he secured a better schooling than the ordinary, and when he became a man engaged in agricultural pursuits. He selected his wife in the person of Miss Elizabeth Wiley, of Indiana, a sister of the famous Christian minister, Thomas Wiley. Her parents were residing in Union City at the time of her marriage. To Mr. and Mrs. Loring were born the following children: William, Hudson J., Thomas, Martha and Cynthia. The father of these children moved to Indiana at an early day, and after the death of his wife he married Miss Nancy Kane, who bore him seven children: David J., Jennie, Mary, Charles J., Huldah, Samuel C., and Hannibal H. Mr. Loring became fairly well off and was highly esteemed by all acquainted with him. His death occurred at Monterey, Indiana, when sixty-eight years of age. Mrs. Loring was a woman of excellent traits of character, assisted largely in the education of her children, and kept them in the public schools until they began teaching and gained a desire for an education. The sons all became professional men, three of them physicians. Mrs. Loring is still living, and no woman is more beloved and respected by her children. Prof. Hannibal H. Loring, our subject, is a product of Indiana soil, born in Grant County, December 23, 1862. He attended the district school and worked on the farm until he was eighteen years of age, when he became a teacher in Marshall County, Indiana, teaching three terms, all in the winter season. In 1882 he became a resident of Porter County, and entered the Northern Indiana Normal School at Valparaiso, Indiana, graduating from the teachers' course one year later. He then taught school in this county, and for two years was principal of the graded school at Porter, Indiana. After this he was principal of the graded school at Hebron, this county, having three assistants. Here he was especially successful, and graded the school, establishing the high school. This school has improved and developed in every way, and is one of the most successful high schools in the county. Until 1889 Mr. Loring remained in this school, and during this time he studied at the Normal at Valparaiso with the exception of the last two years. In June, 1889, he was elected Superintendent of the Schools of Porter County for two years, and has since been twice re-elected, thus showing his popularity. He has given general satisfaction to the people of the county, and his methods are highly approved. He has directed especial attention to the grading of district schools with excellent success, so much so that ninety per cent of the schools in the county are now graded. He has also raised the standard of education in the county and the requirements and qualifications of teachers, gauging the ability of the teacher as he finds it. Prof. Loring has introduced into the county "The Indiana Teachers' Reading Circle," which has raised the standard of education and developed a higher and improved method of teaching. In 1891 Prof. Loring was examined by the State Board of Education, and received a life State license to teach in any school in the State. He has under his charge 98 school districts, 112 teachers, and makes it his business to keep them under close inspection. He is an efficient and popular official and a thorough educator in every sense of the term. On the 23d of August, 1892, he married Miss Emily Brummitt, daughter of William and Mary (Lucas) Brummitt, both of whom are of English origin. The Professor and wife have one daughter, Mildred. Fraternally, Prof. Loring is a Mason, a member of the Blue Lodge, Chapter, Commandery, and has filled the office of Worshipful Master. In politics he is a staunch Republican. The Professor is a gentleman of rare culture and attainments, and discharges his duties with highly commendable zeal and ability.

Bombardier's Q Series is a family of turboprop passenger aircraft outstanding by its durability and low noise emissions. These aircraft are also known as de Havilland Dash 8, Dash 8 designation also refers to Q100 model. They operate on regional routes and is enabled for operation at extreme climates such as arctic, tropic or desert. Originally, Dash 8 was the name assigned to this aircraft but in the 1990s Bombardier changed to Q Series to remark it was a quiet aircraft. As of 2005, more than 650 of these aircraft have been sold logging more than 13 million flight hours so far.
Bombardier has developed a family of turboprop aircraft varying the seating capacity from 37- to 70-seat which share a common crew training. Bombardier introduced a new Noise and Vibration Suppression (NVS) system in the Q Series aircraft for enhanced cabin comfort. The NVS system also lowered the noise emissions to unprecedented levels which were deemed as unattainable in the previous generations of turboprop aircraft.
The latest addition to the Q Series, the Q400, represents the aircraft with the greater seating capacity, higher cruise speed of 360 knots, longer fuselage and longer range. Bombardier Q400 can accommodate from 68 to 78 passengers while flying on regional routes. It was specifically targeted at low fare and regional carriers which require an aircraft with lower seat per mile cost. Q400 complements jets flying on routes previously out of reach for turboprop-powered airplanes.
The Q400 turboprop aircraft is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW150A rated at impressive 5,071 shaft horsepower each. The propulsion system includes two high efficiency Dowty Aerospace all-composite, six-bladed propellers. The engines are the key of the Q400 awesome performance compared with other Q Series aircraft and the majority of existing turboprop aircraft. Q400 is available in three models with different maximum gross weight and payload capacity.
On 14 January 1997, Tyrolean Airways of Innsbruck, Austria announced an order for four Dash 8 Series 400 (Q400) plus further four on option.

Plot of all known fossil individuals by stratigraphy and cranial capacity, showing humans and extinct groups thought to be closer to humans than to living apes. Note that the Upper Pleistocene and the Holocene are too short to label. (The latter is a barely visible line.) Data on the cranial capacity of fossil specimens is largely from one overview study, supplemented with other reports. “Chimpanzee Range” is based on the measurements of several specimens and may not show the full range (although it is probably close). “Living Human Range” shows the cranial capacity range for 90% of extant humans. Data on specimens and stratigraphy is from an ongoing, comprehensive review by the author. References are too numerous to list here, but the annotated data can be viewed online at:
github.com/keesey/humanevolfigs/blob/master/src/data/comp...
Note that some Upper Pleistocene individuals (both human and Neandertal) had cranial capacities higher than would be normal today. This is quite possible due to the lower temperatures in the “ice age”—even today, higher cranial capacity is associated to some extent with colder climates, probably because large brains retain heat more effectively.

YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea— President George W. Bush spoke to a full-capacity crowd of service members, families and civilian employees here at U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan Collier Field House Aug. 6.
The president arrived to the enthusiastic cheers of more than a thousand Americans who serve, live and work on the Korean peninsula along with their Republic of Korea military counterparts. Bush thanked the service members for their dedicated service, lauded military families and commended the U.S. alliance with the Republic of Korea, which has endured for 55 years.
“The American people are grateful for your service and so is your Commander in Chief,” Bush said. “So to the military spouses and to the children who are here, please know that the United States of America is grateful for the sacrifices that you all are making on behalf of our country. And I am proud to be in your presence.” To ROK military personnel, Bush said “We’re honored by your friendship. We’re proud of our alliance, and we’re inspired by your work to advance the cause of liberty.”
Bush commented on the historical importance of the ROK-US alliance for the region. “Fifty-five years have passed since the guns went quiet and the cease-fire was signed on this peninsula,” Bush said. “And since that time our forces have kept the peace. Our nations have built a robust alliance.”
The president described the Korean people and the Korean military as strong allies to the United States. “Thanks to the contribution of men and women who are wearing the uniform just like you, the partnership between America and Korea has become one of the great success stories of modern times,” Bush said.
The president also stated that working with its ROK allies to help build a free and prosperous country was good for America and enhances U.S. national security. In his remarks, the president underscored the fact that the U.S. Army in Korea is undergoing one of the largest transformations in its history in support of the alliance. “As South Korea has grown in strength, it takes a larger role, more significant role in its own defenses,” Bush said.
“The bedrock of this alliance is our belief in liberty,” the president said. “And there is no place on earth that clearly demonstrates the contrast between free and open societies, and repressive, closed societies than the Korean peninsula.”
Applause erupted from the crowd as the president discussed working with U.S. allies in Asia to deter the North Korean nuclear program. “We are going to stand united with South Korea and China and Japan and Russia until we reach our ultimate goal -- and that is a Korean peninsula where people are free from nuclear weapons and free from oppression.” Bush said.
The president was joined by his wife, Laura, his daughter, Barbara, his brother Marvin and his sister-in-law Margaret.

Calling on all men to act now to drive action on gender equality, world leaders gather to accelerate progress at UN Women’s HeForShe Summit:
Against a global backdrop of receding rights for women and girls, as well as collective crises like climate change, conflict, and natural disasters, the HeForShe Summit gathered political, business, global development and social justice leaders to review progress on gender equality across countries, companies and communities. While UN Women recently reported that, at the current rate of progress, it may take close to 300 years to achieve full gender equality, the HeForShe Summit urged men to do their part in accelerating equality in whatever capacity they can.
"With the engaged allyship of men and boys, we are powerfully united in addressing inequality," said Sima Bahous, UN Under-Secretary-General & Executive Director, UN Women. "I see this strength in all the leaders at the HeForShe Summit, who are acting as inspiring agents of change in their fields."
At the Summit, HeForShe Alliance members shared best practices in advancing gender equality through targeted and ambitious commitments in areas such as equal representation in the workplace, economic empowerment, or global policies addressing domestic violence. World leaders gathered to speak on the importance of achieving equality, including Ms. Olena Zelenska, First Lady of Ukraine, who said "I would like to live in a world where there are no differences between people. I would like to live in a world where the HeForShe initiative is not necessary."
UN Women and HeForShe also announced new members of the HeForShe Alliance and their ambitious commitments to accelerate progress towards gender equality. H.E. Mr. Fumio Kishida, Prime Minister of Japan, and H.E. Mr. Felix Tshisekedi, President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, committed their governments to enabling gender equal policies. Bolstering HeForShe partnerships in East Asia, Recruit Holdings was announced as the latest HeForShe Champion with a focus on achieving parity in their global organization by 2025.
Leaders from public, private and academic sectors discussed the issues facing women today during the event. Anita Bhatia, UN Women Deputy Executive Director, led a discussion on the compounding effects of crisis on gender with leaders from MTN Group, PwC, and the Centre for Rights Education and Awareness. The second discussion, led by Sanda Ojiambo, Assistant Secretary-General and CEO of the United Nations Global Compact with executive leadership from UN Women, INSEAD, and HCL Technologies, reinforced the substantial difficulties women face in advancing economically and highlighted key actions to reduce these barriers, particularly as today around 2.4 billion women of working age are not afforded equal economic opportunity. One such recommendation is to ensure sponsorship, not just mentorship, throughout a woman's academic and professional experience.
Closing the event, author and activist Frederick Joseph called on men and boys around the world to embrace the role they play in recognizing gender equality through everyday actions. Actress, activist, and singer Sofia Carson closed the Summit with an inspirational musical performance and took a moment to reiterate the unanimous call that brought these leaders together—men must have an active role in achieving a more equal world.

The 'Estadio Benito Villamarín' is a 52,500 capacity stadium; home of Real Betis, one of the two major football teams in the city. Though relegated from 'La Liga' in the 2013-2014 season, they're now back in the top league and will always be a force to contend with and a fierce rival of their near neighbours from across the city, Sevilla FC. Seville, itself, is the capital of Andalucia and with a population of over 700,000 is Spain's 4th largest city. Situated on a plain of the River Guadalquivir, it has a history dating back to 200BC when legend has it that it was founded by Hercules. Originally it was known as 'Hispalis' under the Romans and 'Isbiliya' when under the control of the Moors. The high point in its history, not unsurprisingly, followed the discovery of America in 1492. It is a truly wonderful city to visit although in the summer months it gets very hot with temperatures routinely in excess of 40° C (104° F). Indeed, Seville, is generally regarded as the hottest city in Europe so avoid in July and August! There's so much to see in the city, starting as most visitors do with a first view of the city's emblematic tower, the 'Giralda', the bell tower of the cathedral, one of the largest in the world. There's the Alcázar Palace and gardens - perhaps not rivalling the Alhambra in its scale and architectural beauty - but not far off! Other treasures include the 'Casa de Pilatos', the 'Torre del Oro', the Ayuntaminto (Town Hall), the 'Archivo General de Indias' (where the historical records of the American continent are kept), the 'Museo de Bellas Artes' (Museum of Fine Arts) which is the second largest picture gallery in Spain. and, of course, many beautiful and revered parish churches, convents and numerous palaces. But for all its magnificent monuments, architecture and fascinating history, Seville is universally admired for being a joyous town; with 'Sevillanos' known for their wit, sparkle and vitality - hardly surprising given its association with Carmen, Don Juan and Figaro! 'Sevillanos' are great actors and put on an extraordinary performance at their annual 'Feria de Abril', a week-long party of drink, food and dance which takes place day and night in more than a thousand especially constructed tents. But above all it allows the men to parade on their fine horses and the women to dance in brilliantly coloured gypsy dresses. Immediately before that is Holy Week, or 'Semana Santa', a religious festival where hooded penitents march In long processions followed by huge baroque floats on which sit images of the Virgin or Christ, surrounded by cheerful crowds. Both of these events are 'must-sees' with the proviso that hotel bookings in the city should be made many months (if not years) beforehand and an acceptance that large, boisterous, always enthusiastic crowds are very much the order of the day. Wandering the tiny side streets of Seville, particularly the Jewish quarter, the 'Barrio Santa Cruz', and the vibrant (former gypsy) quarter of 'Triana', is a delight too; especially when sufficient time is set aside to sample some traditional tapas, drink some locally produced manzanilla (fino sherry) or listen to some impromptu flamenco. Seville has everything and then some! There are plenty more photos of Seville and other Spanish towns/locations if you take a look at my 'Albums' page, www.flickr.com/photos/36623892@N00/sets/ - thank you.

In a growing number low-and middle-income countries, updating GDP estimates has led to significant revisions. Governments often welcome these changes because they, seemingly overnight, reduce debt-to-GDP ratios and increase GDP per-capita. But is this real? Why does this happen and what are the down sides? Join us to learn why rebasing is important, what the key ingredients to a successful update are, and important lessons for building capacity in this area. International Monetary Fund's Francien Berry and Leandro Medina answer these questions and more during the Rebasing GDP: Why Has it Become So Popular session at the IMF Headquarters during the 2019 IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings April 11, 2019 in Washington, DC.
