Small Group Discussion: Localizing Agricultural Value Chains for Shared Prosperity
The world’s agricultural economy exceeds $2 trillion, yet much of the production, processing, and manufacturing for high value food products that could be energizing developing economies instead takes place in developed countries, reducing opportunities for local livelihood improvement and economic growth. Some companies have identified an opportunity to strengthen their own businesses and invest in local livelihoods by keeping high-value processing and manufacturing in the low-income countries where their agricultural products are sourced. Others are localizing their supply chains, ensuring that food products they sell within developing countries are made using locally sourced ingredients. These trends can empower smallholder farmers, strengthen small- and medium-sized enterprises, and mitigate the climate footprint resulting from the transportation of goods across the globe, while at the same time reducing companies’ sourcing and production costs. To ensure that localized supply chains and value chains can function sustainably, businesses must cultivate ecosystems that support this type of business environment and the human capital needed for growth and prosperity.
In this session, participants will:
• Explore the economic, environmental, and social opportunities that can be achieved through local value chains and the partnerships that can make these possible.
• Examine case studies of successful efforts to localize supply chains serving domestic markets and create value chains in low-income countries to serve global markets.

In northwestern England, there is an extremely localized musical phenomenon. It's called Donk, and it's basically the best worst thing we've ever heard. Think cheesy rave music with bleeps and bloops put on top (these are the "donks") and the UK equivalent of a trailer park boy band rapping over it. Sounds amazing, huh? Our five-part Donk-umentary gets to the heart of the craze and examines this odd regional mania that most chaps in southern England don't even know about.
Above is MC Cover with some adoring fans. Cover is an MC with the Blackout Crew, the Beatles of the Donk party scene. Their video for "Put a Donk on it" has become a YouTube hit, with almost four million views.

Localized fat is often an inherited trait and liposuction is usually the only way to eliminate it. You will realize good results from this procedure if your skin has the tone and elasticity necessary to achieve a smooth result following removal of the fat beneath it. Fat is removed through a small tube called a cannula inserted through tiny incisions close to the area to be suctioned. Incisions are very small - usually under a centimeter. Dr. McLean uses a technique that involves infiltrating the fat with fluid ("tumescence") to assist in its removal.For more details www.mcleanclinic.com/body/liposuction/

Phrenology (from Greek: φρήν, phrēn, "mind"; and λόγος, logos, "knowledge") is a pseudoscience primarily focused on measurements of the human skull, based on the concept that the brain is the organ of the mind, and that certain brain areas have localized, specific functions or modules.
The distinguishing feature of phrenology is the idea that the sizes of brain areas were meaningful and could be inferred by examining the skull of an individual. Following the materialist notions of mental functions originating in the brain, phrenologists believed that human conduct could best be understood in neurological rather than philosophical or religious terms. Developed by German physician Franz Joseph Gall in 1796, the discipline was very popular in the 19th century, especially from about 1810 until 1840. The principal British centre for phrenology was Edinburgh, where the Edinburgh Phrenological Society was established in 1820. In 1843, François Magendie referred to phrenology as "a pseudo-science of the present day."
Phrenological thinking was, however, influential in 19th-century psychiatry and modern neuroscience. Gall's assumption that character, thoughts, and emotions are located in localized parts of the brain is considered an important historical advance toward neuropsychology.
Phrenologists believed that the human mind has a set of different mental faculties, with each particular faculty represented in a different area of the brain. For example, the faculty of "philoprogenitiveness", from the Greek for "love of offspring", was located centrally at the back of the head (see illustration of the chart from Webster's Academic Dictionary). These areas were said to be proportional to a person's propensities. The importance of an organ was derived from relative size compared to other organs. It was believed that the cranial bone conformed in order to accommodate the different sizes of these particular areas of the brain in different individuals, so that a person's capacity for a given personality trait could be determined simply by measuring the area of the skull that overlies the corresponding area of the brain.
Contrary to popular thought, phrenology is not the reading of bumps on the head but determining internal brain mass associated with each organ. The phrenologist Nelson Sizer summed up the topic by writing "The first difficulty the phrenologist meets among the public, is that he is supposed to study the brain by means of certain "bumps on the cranium" that he looks for hills or hollows, and that his opinions are based on the deficiency or defiency of these bumps."
Phrenology is a process that involved the observing and-or feeling the skull to determine an individual's psychological attributes. Franz Joseph Gall first believed that the brain was made up of 27 individual organs that determined personality, with the first 19 of these 'organs' believed to exist in other animal species. Phrenologists would run their fingertips and palms over the skulls of their patients to feel for enlargements or indentations. The phrenologist would often take measurements with a tape measure of the overall head size and more rarely employ a craniometer, a special version of a caliper. In general, instruments to measure sizes of cranium were used after the main stream phrenology had ended. The phrenologists put emphasis on employing drawings of individuals with particular traits to determine the character of the person and thus many phrenology books have many pictures of subjects. From absolute and relative sizes the organ regions of the skull the phrenologist would assess the character and temperament of the patient.
Gall's list of the "brain organs" was specific. An enlarged organ meant that the patient used that particular "organ" extensively. The number and more detailed meanings of organs were added later by other phrenologists. The 27 areas were varied in function, from sense of color, to the likelihood of religiosity, to the potential to be combative or destructive. Each of the 27 "brain organs" was located in a specific area of the skull. As a phrenologist felt the skull, he would use his knowledge of the shapes of heads and organ positions to determine the overall natural strengths and weakness of an individual. Phrenologists believed the head revealed natural tendencies and not absolute limitations or strengths of a person's character.
The popularization of phrenology in the middle and working class was due to in part to the idea that scientific knowledge was important and an indication of sophistication and modernity. Cheap and plentiful pamphlets as well as the growing popularity of scientific lectures as entertainment also helped spread phrenology to the masses. Combe created a system of philosophy of the human mind that became popular with the masses because of its simplified principles and wide range of social applications that were in harmony with the liberal Victorian world view. George Combe's book On the Constitution of Man and its Relationship to External Objects sold over 200 000 copies through nine editions. Combe also devoted a large portion of his book to reconciling religion and phrenology, which had long been a sticking point of acceptance.
Another reason for its popularity was that phrenology stood balanced between free will and determinism. A person's inherent faculties were clear, and no faculty was viewed as evil, but the abuse of a faculty was. Phrenology allowed for self-improvement and upward mobility, while providing fodder for attacks on aristocratic privilege. Phrenology also had wide appeal because of being a reformist philosophy not a radical one.
Phrenology was not limited to the common people and both Queen Victoria and Prince Albert invited George Combe to read the heads of their children.
Phrenology came about at a time when scientific procedures and standards for acceptable evidence were still being codified. In the context of Victorian society phrenology was a respectable scientific theory. The Phrenological Society of Edinburgh founded by George and Andrew Combe was an example of the credibility of phrenology at the time, and included a number of extremely influential social reformers and intellectuals, including the publisher Robert Chambers, the astronomer John Pringle Nichol, the evolutionary environmentalist Hewett Cottrell Watson and asylum reformer William A.F. Browne.
Traditionally the mind had been studied through introspection. Phrenology provided an attractive, biological alternative that attempted to unite all mental phenomena and treat them with consistent biological terms.
Ironically Gall's approach provided a way to studying the mind that would lead to the downfall of his theories. Phrenology also contributed to development of physical anthropology, forensic medicine, understanding of brain, nervous system and brain anatomy as well as contributing to applied psychology.
John Elliotson was a brilliant but erratic heart specialist who became a phrenologist in the 1840s, he was also a mesmerist and combined the two into something he called phrenomesmerism or phrenomegnatism. The prospect of changing behaviour with mesmerism eventually won out in Elliotson's mesmeric hospital, putting phrenology in a subordinate role.
Phrenology had been mostly discredited as a scientific theory by the 1840s. This was only in part due to a growing amount of evidence against phrenology. Phrenologists had never been able to agree on the most basic underpinnings with mental organ numbers going from 27 to over 40, and had also never been able to locate the mental organs. Instead phrenologists relied on cranioscopic readings of the skull to find organ locations.
Jean Pierre Flourens experiments on the brains of pigeons indicated that the loss of parts of the brain either caused no loss of function, or the loss of a completely different function than what had been attributed to it by phrenology. Flourens' experiment, while not perfect seemed to indicated that Gall's supposed organs were imaginary. Scientists had also become disillusioned with phrenology since its popularization with the middle and working classes by entrepreneurs. The popularization had resulted in the simplification of phrenology and the mixing of principles with physiognomy, which had from the start been rejected by Gall as an indicator of personality.
Phrenology from its inception was continuously followed by accusations of promoting materialism and atheism, and being destructive of morality.

This is a dutch localization of Mathias Richel's famous pamflet "Wir wählen die Atomkraft" that I translated for the manifestation against the proposed Borssele 2 nuclear plant planned by the Belgian France-based Electrabel company, a subsidiary of GDF Suez. Borssele 2 is supported by Maxime Verhagen (CDA) and is purposed to generate electricity for export to Germany and other European countries. Borssele 2 will increase stress on the dutch electricity network because - as we have seen in Fukushima - it is fairly difficult to shut off a nuclear reactor. The investors in the nuclear plant are monitored by a single government body which Verhagen conveniently plans to reorganize and scale down at the exact time that the permit request comes under consideration. This makes it very difficult to get a good view of the way in which the necessary funds are gathered and guaranteed. We do know, however, that state owned Tennet is another major player. It is also widely known that private investors do not dare to bear the investment risks without some sort of government guarantees for their investments. It will take extreme scrutiny to find out if this risk is carried by Dutch, French or German government, a European government body or a combination of government parties. Regardless, Maxime Verhagen will not have to bear any political or judicial responsibility by the time the new nuclear plant is planned to start production (in 2020).

The National Observatory (Portuguese: Observatório Nacional or ON) is an institution localized in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Founded by Pedro I on October 15, 1827, it is one of the oldest scientific institutions in the country. Its initial purpose was to guide the geographic studies of Brazil and teaching navigation.
The institute is responsible for the Brazilian Official Time and performs various researches and studies in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Geophysics. It offers post-graduate courses leading masters and doctorate degree.
There has been astronomical observation in Brazil since the colonial times. According to Father Serafim Leite, the Jesuits installed an observatory in his school in Castle Hill in the Rio de Janeiro in 1730. In the same place, in 1780, Portuguese astronomers Sanches d'Orta and Oliveira Barbosa set up an observatory and began to perform regular observations of astronomy, meteorology and terrestrial magnetism. With the transfer of the Portuguese court to Brazil in 1808, the collection of this observatory was transferred to the Royal Military Academy.
On September 27, 1827, the General Assembly Legislative Empire, authorized the government to create an Astronomical Observatory under the Ministry of the Empire, and October 15, 1827, the Emperor D. Pedro I decreed its creation. He was installed in the tower of the Military School, and was directed initially by professor of mathematics Pedro de Alcântara Bellegarde. In 1845 the Minister of War, Francisco Jeronimo Coelho, reorganized the institution as Imperial Observatory of Rio de Janeiro, when he assumed the position of Director, Professor Soulier Sauve, Military School, who moved to the fortress of Conception, and, in 1846, had its first Regulation approved by decree.
Between 1846 and 1850, the Director of the Observatory Soulier moved again, this time to the former premises of a church in Castle Hill, where he remained until 1920 After the death of Soulier in 1850, Lieutenant Colonel Engineer Antonio Manoel de Mello, also a professor at the Military Academy, was named director, remaining in office until 1865, when it was replaced by Lieutenant Commander Anthony Joaquim Cruvelo d'Avila. That same year, the Observatory became subordinate Central School, which was spun off from Military School, remaining in that condition until 1871, when the Administrative Commission of the Imperial Observatory of Rio de Janeiro was created. It was named for the French scientist Emmanuel direction Liais, remaining in her direction by two management periods, from January to July 1871 and from 1874 to 1881 Between 1871 and 1874, Maria Camilo Ferreira Armond, Viscount Meadows, was ahead direction.
Between 1827 and 1871, the Observatory has been almost exclusively focused on the education of students of military schools land and sea. In the year 1871, was removed from the military umbrella and reorganized to devote himself exclusively to research, and service to society in the fields of meteorology, astronomy, geophysics, and the measurement of time and the determination of time. The Belgian astronomer and military engineer Luis Cruls Liais succeeded in 1881, remaining in office until 1908 In 1888, Parliament approved funding to begin construction of the new Observatory in the Imperial Treasury of Santa Cruz, but the next year the proclamation of the Republic, the Observatory was again under the Ministry of War and had its name changed to the Rio de Janeiro Observatory, to which is annexed the Geographical Service. It was then abandoned the idea of his move to Santa Cruz. After the death of Cruls, in 1908, astronomer Henry Charles Morize took over. In 1909, through Decree 7.672 of November 18, was created in the Ministry of Agriculture, the Department of meteorology and astronomy, which was placed under the National Observatory and was extinguished Observatory of Rio de Janeiro.
On September 28, 1913, was signed the Minutes of the foundation stone of the new National Observatory on the Colina de São Januário (Hill of São Januário), in Rio de Janeiro. In 1915, we implemented the Magnetic Observatory Brooms in Rio de Janeiro, today integrated into the structure of ON. In 1921, Directorate of Meteorology had separated the two areas that composed it, giving rise to two institutes: one devoted to meteorology, called Directorate of Meteorology, and another to astronomy, geophysics and metrology, which retained the name National Observatory. That year, he received a visit from Albert Einstein, during his stay in Brazil. In 1922, the NB was transferred from Castle Hill, current Esplanada do Castelo, to the Hill of São Januário, in Saint Kitts, where he currently is still installed. It was the end of a demand initiated by Liais, fifty years before, adequate facilities for the Observatory.
In 1930, the National Observatory became part of the newly created Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC). In 1955, ON broadened its research in terrestrial magnetism with running an observatory on the island of Tatuoca at the mouth of the Amazonas River.
In 1972, FINEP approved a project to install an astrophysical observatory, to be installed in Brasópolis, Minas Gerais. On April 22, 1980 was already installed and starting operations one cassegrain-reflector coudé of 1.60 meters (diameter of the main mirror). In February 1981, Dr. JA de Freitas Pacheco, director of ON, opened a site under the name Brazilian Astrophysical Observatory (OAB). On March 13, 1985, the OAB was dismembered from ON, giving rise to the current National Laboratory for Astrophysics (LNA).
In 2003 was inaugurated the new premises of ON's Service Time, in Building Carlos Lacombe campus. In May 2004, ON started another service, the Time Stamp.

It`s privileged localization with its rustic and typically "mineiro" countryside style, in point mountainous and raised the 1,440 meters above sea level (allowing the view of practically a all the enclosed region around, valleys and mountains), makes with that the town is preferred destination of many enthusiastic tourists of the nature and people who likes arts in general, having been also scene for an old novel of the extinct Manchete TV.
There are a lot of "must be seen attrations" , as the Grotto of São Thomé, Carimbado Grotto, Pyramid House, rock formations - of the Witch it is most famous, constructions in rock and the waterfalls - Shangri-lá, Eubiose, Veil of Fiancé (Véu da Noiva), Paradise and of the Moon, among others. Some believe that São Thomé das Letras is one of the seven energy points of the Earth, which is a main attration for mystics, spiritualists , scientific and alternative societies. All those elements give to the town the title of " Mystic" town.
The 'S' stands for SOUTH controller, the dude in charge of the south of the two runways. At this point in time runway 12R/30L was closed for resurfacing and maintenance, and with winds out of the southeast, they had to use converging approaches: Localizer 17 and Localizer 22 approaches. This is extremely rare. You can see the stream of SOUTH arrivals coming in on the dashed line (heading ~170 magnetic, nearly south), which is the localizer for runway 17. Below the identifier is L17 (Localizer17 approach) and the type of aircraft (BE80 = Beechcraft Baron, CRJ2 = CRJ, SF34 = Saab).

Although very localized to very south central Montana in open dry settings, Astragalus hyalinus (the bluish green mats) occurs on a diversity of substrates and in different sagebrush communities, including those dominated by Wyoming big sagebrush, black sagebrush, and birdfoot sagebrush, Artemisia pedatifida, as should here. Arenaria hookeri, Machaeranthera grindelioides, and Agropyron spicatum are also common in this view. This site is in the sagebrush steppe just to the east of Warren Montana.
Small Group Discussion: Localizing Agricultural Value Chains for Shared Prosperity
The world’s agricultural economy exceeds $2 trillion, yet much of the production, processing, and manufacturing for high value food products that could be energizing developing economies instead takes place in developed countries, reducing opportunities for local livelihood improvement and economic growth. Some companies have identified an opportunity to strengthen their own businesses and invest in local livelihoods by keeping high-value processing and manufacturing in the low-income countries where their agricultural products are sourced. Others are localizing their supply chains, ensuring that food products they sell within developing countries are made using locally sourced ingredients. These trends can empower smallholder farmers, strengthen small- and medium-sized enterprises, and mitigate the climate footprint resulting from the transportation of goods across the globe, while at the same time reducing companies’ sourcing and production costs. To ensure that localized supply chains and value chains can function sustainably, businesses must cultivate ecosystems that support this type of business environment and the human capital needed for growth and prosperity.
In this session, participants will:
• Explore the economic, environmental, and social opportunities that can be achieved through local value chains and the partnerships that can make these possible.
• Examine case studies of successful efforts to localize supply chains serving domestic markets and create value chains in low-income countries to serve global markets.
