Nicki Minaj's Spectacular Hair Evolution (Legendary Harajuku Barbie Style)
The ultimate female powerhouse of hip-hop, Nicki Minaj has consecutively kept us on our toes the past few years waiting to see what she will do next. Minaj started her career in 2006 dropping mixtapes up until 2009 where she gained recognition from famous rapper Lil Wayne who saw the talent in her we all see today. He went on to sign Minaj in 2009 to Young Money Entertainment. From rapper to singer to actress to songwriter, it seems as if there is nothing Nicki Minaj cannot do. She has a career full of accomplishments with a head full of dynamic hairdos to match. Now let take a look at how her hair has switched up from the past to present.
Itty Bitty Nicki
In 2008 before the exhausting fame and success, Nicki had a small following; she also had a small frame to go along with it. Can we just take a moment to thank time because the glow up is real? Although Nicki has always been beautiful, we can't deny her hair come up is the truth. Before her hair game stepped up, she would still wear black wavy hair ranging from 16-18 inches with wispy see-through bangs. So glad we have moved on up as the Jeffersons would say. If you are looking to achieve this gorgeous wave type though, give Spanish wave extensions a try.
5-star Nick
In 2009, Nicki started stealing our hearts on song features. She had everybody wondering who she was with her spicy song lyrics. Nobody heard anything quite like her since the great legacy of the first lady of hip-hop, Lil Kim! One of her most famous songs that year was a feature she did to Yo Gotti's 5-star Chick along with Gucci Mane and Trina. This year she kept the hits coming and the bangs too. Everywhere she was, she had her blunt cut bangs right behind her. I was in high school at the time, and I can't count how many times I saw a girl with blunt cut bangs who called themselves Barbie. Nicki's Barbie supporters started reminding me of a cult. But who wouldn't want to follow the trend of the newest Hip Hop princess? Still, to this day, I love a straight bone style with blunt cut bangs, you can give this look a try with Brazilian extensions.
Moment 4 Life
Nicki got her wish because her moment is still here. She was very new to the game back then, and she took the 2010 year to drop her first debut album Pink Friday. Originally the highly anticipated album debuted number 2 on the US Billboard 200 eventually reaching number 1. Nicki was killing the game, and so was her hair. We have now moved into our next phase of bangs. This time her blunt cut bangs were curled under for a more dramatic image, and she had the most intense long graduated bobs any of us had ever seen. Her bob was very short in the back and long in the front. To bring the heat up a notch, she added an ombre of green to the ends of her hair in the front. Overall a very fierce look and eye catchy. I mean back when she longed for the attention to make a name for herself so why not do it with bold hair. Loving the look you see? Private Label offers Russian blonde extensions! Yay!
Nicki Banged Out
2011 was an excellent year for Minaj being as though she just dropped her album the previous year and gained more recognition making a name for herself. She toured with Britney Spears that summer as her opening act to up her fan base. As her fan base grew, so did her collection of wigs. She didn't let go of her bangs entirely, but in 2011 we started seeing Nicki's forehead for a change. Here is a look she chose for the billboard awards that year. Plush pink with blond roots. The pink is very airy with hints of blond streaks. Again with Russian blonde wavy extensions from Private Label Extensions and a bottle of semi-permanent hair color from your local beauty supply, you can make magic happen!
That same year Nicki switched back and forth from bangs, she opened our eyes to more colorful looks. This look is an image from the American Music Awards. As you can see her bangs are back like they never left, and she chose to go half blond and half blue with ombre blue on the bottom of the blond extensions. She is undoubtedly ahead of her time because I tend to see these half one color, half another color styles quite often now. No worries, blonde PLE extensions and color, you can achieve this look too!
Blonde Bombshell
Fast forward to 2012, Nicki has made a name for herself, and everyone loves her music and features. Mind you; she dropped her second studio album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. She began her first headlining tour that summer in May. To add to her accomplishments, she was asked to join the panel of American Idol in 2012. She stepped out on the scene frequently that year in a long blond lace frontal wig. Her appearance was beautiful and subtle from the hip-hop artist we know and love. She still chose to wear bright, bold, daring ensembles with her Barbie-blonde hair.
Embracing Black Roots
In 2013 she kept the platinum blonde look but added black roots for a more realistic approach on her extensions. At this point in her career, I don't think Nicki longed for attention anymore with dramatic hairdos and outfits; I think she was settling into the fact that she was on top of the rap game as a female artist. You can see by even the makeup her stylists chose that year that they were going for a more subtle look in her overall image. I loved it personally, very angelic and calming. Take Private Label's Russian blonde tape-in extensions and dye the roots black to achieve any one of the following styles Nicki had that year. I don't know about y'all, but I was here for this that year!
Meet Onika
In the year 2014, I believe we finally met Onika Tanya Maraj. This year was a big year for her dropping her third studio album The Pinkprint, a playoff of words from Jay-Z's The Blueprint. She battled a public breakup with her longtime boyfriend of 10 years Safaree Samuels. She gave everybody exactly what they craved by finally laying her heart out on the line through her music. The release of the album talked intensely about her love for her ex and a lot of what they had been through throughout their relationship. She also had everybody shocked to see she had moved on so quickly from such a long association with rapper Meek Mill. Her image that year played a significant role in how her audience would view her. They were very tactful and smart by giving Minaj black hair the whole year with little to no makeup for a believable heartbreak. By no means am I saying the break-up didn't hurt her but who walks around with dramatic, colorful make-up and hair when they are going through personal things in life? Although I hate she went through the pain, I'm thankful as a fan because it allowed her to drop an unforgettable album and I never quite saw how beautiful Nicki was until this year because of how natural her appearance was. For a natural look like these, try out the Brazilian wavy extensions from Private Label Extensions.
Making Her Mark
Nicki went on to tour the following year of 2015 for the Pinkprint album while her current boyfriend at the time Meek Mill joined her on tour. As you can see, she kept the black hair throughout that year as well just changing up her hairstyles, and her makeup remained simple like her hair. I'm thinking she kept this natural image for the tour seeing as how the album was still about heartbreak and all of her fans to relate in concert. Another reason for her appearance staying subtle may be because Nicki landed her first major movie deal that year as a character in Ice Cube's Barbershop movie series. Many people don't know that before Minaj was a rapper, she studied theater in high school. Maybe she kept the black hair to be taken seriously as an actress. Either way, I'm still here for it!
Transitioning back to Minaj
As the 2016 year rolled in, you can see Nicki is apparently over her past love problems and returning to her usual self. As you can see her dramatic image is fading back into play with the thick dark winged eyeliner and highlights in her hair. For highlights like these, look into these clip-ins! That same year Nicki shocked us all again, to see that she brought the bangs and blonde back. I mean she never really let the blunt cut bangs go as I said before but she probably only brought them out every once and while and not all the time like in the past. I'm in love with this dirty blonde look with black roots. It looks more natural than the platinum blonde. Seems as if she wanted to tap back into her old self without really going all the back just yet. She slowly transitioned back to her average person.
Long Hair to Match her Long List of Accomplishments
Last year in 2017, it seems like every time we saw Nicki she had long, exhausting hair extensions. And when I say long, I mean like 40-inch long bone straight bundles. Seems like a bit much but I mean we got the old but new improved Nicki back, and she has always been a head turner so her being dramatic is nothing new. In this look, she chose her half and half style again. The middle part with half blonde and half pastel pink that hung down past her kneecaps. To add to her already charming look, she has a Barbie pink shiny two piece. I tell you, when Nicki wants to show out, she knows just how too! The most prominent hit in social media last year, she was trending for her appearance in Migos, Motorsport, music video. Everybody who was anybody was talking about that futuristic ensemble, but #NickiBraids became a hashtag. Everyone was obsessed with this extra-long pink braids that hung to one side and hit the floor. Like I said you never know what to expect from this female powerhouse, but I'm almost never disappointed.
What to Expect from Nicki in the Future
I'm not entirely sure what to tell you to expect from Nicki because we never know what she is up too. Lately, she has been single, and it looks as if her love life has come to a halt. That may be good for her as it gives her time for herself to think and focus on her only. She has been doing different features and collaborating with new artists, but everybody is wondering when she is going to release her album. Honestly, Nicki, your fans are waiting patiently, myself included. In 2018 Nicki has been entirely off the radar and hasn't posted anything on her Instagram for her fans to keep up with her since December 30, 2017. I'm just hoping her disappearance is from her sleeping in the studio creating the great music we miss hearing from her. Where are you, Nicki? Send smoke signals; we will save you!
All Hail The Queen
Aside from that Nicki's entire image has evolved what we would expect from any phenomenal artist because nothing stays the same forever. Hopefully, Nicki has inspired you as she has inspired me to step out of the box with experimenting with different hairstyles. Unforgettable and continuously talked about, Nicki stand frontline as a pioneer for future fashion and hair trends, all hail the queen Nicki Minaj!

Unicorn Valentines – So Easy To Make!
These Unicorn Valentines are some of the simplest Valentines I have done for the kids, but they will be popular this year – with the popularity of Unicorns right now. Seriously, it was cut and slip the lollipop through and you're done!
All we did was cut out this cute unicorn heads on our Cricut (but you could use any Unicorn, and we have some more ideas below), and then threaded through one of these spiral lollipops that we picked up at our local store, for the horn. I chose rainbow colored lollipops, so we could make the unicorns in all sorts of colors, and kids could pick their favorite color. We made ours for a school party, but you could use them for your child's valentine cards to hand out to their class too.
Spiral lollipops to act as the Unicorn horn.
Unicorn head cut outs. I made mine on my Cricut using this design with the 'One of a Kind' cut out. I sized it to 4.581 by 5.594 if you want to use the same size I show in the images here. If you are using this design, I simply threaded the lollipop stick through the slit in the horn, and the star that is between the "o's" on the left top side of the Unicorn. There are many other Unicorn designs in Design Space for Cricut users, but I kept it simple with this one.
You can also search for free printable unicorns online if you do not have a cutting machine list a Cricut, and print and cut those out by hand. Here are some ideas here.
If you do not want to deal with cutting out the unicorns, you can order these fun Unicorn face masks, and use a hole punch to punch two holes you could thread the lollipops through for the horns.
These are so easy to make. Start by either cutting out the Unicorn shape per the specifications above, or purchase your unicorn head.
Once you have either cut or purchased your unicorn faces, then you can use a hole punch to cut two small holes that you can thread the lollipop stick through. You can also tape it on the back, but I found the easiest method for me was to thread the stick through the holes (this is because the lollipops are heavy compared to the paper, so the tape tended to want to pull off.
A couple of things to keep in mind here. You will want to align the sucker with the unicorn horn (as it is giving you a 3-d horn for your paper cut out). So, if you are using a design like mine above, then you will want to align the horn on the slant, and cut your two holes so that the lollipop will align with the horns direction. Since my print out has words and stars in it, I just found two spots I could thread it through with no additional hole cutting needed. If you are using a design that has the horn going straight up and down (like the masks above) that is pretty straight forward, and you just stick the lollipop straight up over that horn.
We are passing ours out generically, but you could add the child's name to the front or the back of the unicorn if you want them personalized.
These are some of the simplest DIY Valentines I have made, and I cannot wait to pass them out to the kids.

We're all on a journey of discovery, though sometimes we're not really aware we're searching for something. Jeff Goins, a successful author, wants to help you navigate that path so you can find your calling. Goins quit his job at the age of 30 to follow his calling and become a full-time writer.
I wasn't sure about reviewing this book since at first glance I didn't think it was for entrepreneurs. But then I read these sentences: "Finding your purpose is more of a path than a plan: it involves twists and turns that you never expected...Once you arrive at what you thought was the destination [your destiny], you realize it's only another leg in the journey." Sure sounds like the path to entrepreneurship to me.
This book is a challenge of sorts to business owners. Wayne Visser is the director of the think tank Kaleidoscope Futures, as well as the chair of Sustainable Business at the Gordon Institute of Business Science in South Africa and a senior associate at the University of Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership in the U.K.
In other words, Visser is the real thing, so when he writes that the sustainability movement is facing extinction, it's time to pay attention. Visser says business leaders need to "step up to be the catalyst for a sustainable future," and in this book he tells us how to do that.
This book is not a simple read, but it is an important one.
Change is inevitable, whatever the size of your business. In this book, Steve Gilliland, a Hall of Fame speaker and bestselling author, offers you insight and solutions to help you navigate through any necessary transformations.
Gilliland says there are 3 C's of life–choices, chances and changes–and to get through, "You must make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change." To help get you there, Gilliland motivates you by offering tips, insights and advice.
The goal of this book is for you to develop new mindsets, including the mindset of recognition, reaction, reality, resourcefulness, receptiveness and resolution.

Corporations are people
No, Mitt Romney, they're not really. They're completely unlike people in almost every way. They may, however, involve people, real people, at some stage in the process. But this doesn't mean the corporation simply is the people who work there. That would be, er, communism or socialism. In a recent add, Romney says:
At just over the halfway mark, Romney declares: "Businesses are comprised of people. I'm talking about repair shops, and gas stations, and beauty salons, and restaurants. I'm talking about Apple computer, and Facebook, and Microsoft. I'm talking about businesses that employ people. It's really astonishing to me that the Obama folks would try and argue that businesses aren't people. What do they think they are? Little men from Mars? But when they tax business, they tax people."
Well, this is different from "corporations are people." But it's still equally wrong. It's wrong now because repair shops and gas stations really don't belong in the same category as Microsoft, etc.. More to the point, the problem with this new formulation is positively Clintonian–it depends on what the meaning of "is" is. Corporations involve people; sometimes lots of people, transnationally. But they are certainly not identical with them in the narrow sense of identity Romney seems to suggest. Anyway.
On this same point, here is an epic Iron Man (by a liberal commentator, of course–it's a disease they have) of Romney's argument:
Matthew Zeitlin has a nice New Republic post on the Romney "corporations are people" clip and the very real "hack gap" between Democratic and Republican parties.
The title of my own comment on this imbroglio, Separating the wheat from the gaffe, telegraphs my view. What Romney said is obviously true, and everyone who thinks seriously about economic policy understands it. Taxes on corporations fall on the owners of corporations and on other stakeholders. On the specifics, this particular attack on Romney is devoid of substance.
So the taxes fall on their "owners" (who sometimes aren't even actual people), but this doesn't mean corporations are people too. It means, at some level, they involve people. No one denies that. They object to the way they involve those people.

4 thoughts on "Corporations are people"
I suspect that, having made the initial statement, Romney was in an uncomfortable position: He could either take the approach you find unsatisfactory, trying to explain "what I really meant" as being that corporations are comprised of people, or he could state what I expect that he actually believes: that corporations are fictitious persons for legal purposes and that he supports the expansive interpretation of corporate personhood described in cases like Citizens United vs. FEC., with corporations being entitled to virtually all of the rights of living, breathing individuals (short of literally casting a ballot for a political candidate), but without a similar level of individual responsibility.
ChgoBrian says:
The notion that corporations are people is not a fallacy, even though it seems ludicrous to even think that way.
In the book Globalization and America (ISBN-13: 978-0-7425-6075-8) on page 222, the author identifies that very thing:
"Whose rights does the U.S. Constitution protect? In an 1886 case, Santa Clara v. Southern Pacific Railroad, Chief Justice Waite asserted in an oral argument that 'the court does not wish to hear argument on the question whether the provision in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which forbids a State to deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws, applies to those of corporations. We are all of the opinion that it does.' And what is the precedent for this? In an earlier case that same year, Southern Pacific Railroad (118 U.S. 294), a court stenographer had made an error in transcription, giving Southern Pacific the rights of a person: immunity from state authority. When the error was discovered by a newspaper reporter, it was flashed to many newspapers via telegraph. Whatever their reason, the justices did not revoke the error and embraced it as their own." (Endnote 5)
Endnote 5 (page 229)
"The 1886 case of Santa Clara v. Southern Pacific Railway became the key precedent for subsequent decisions. With that, corporations became legal persons in the United States and gained the ability to challenge regulatory actions. In 1893, corporations won a major victory in the case of Nohle v. Union River Logging, which gave them Fifth Amendment due process rights against the federal government as well as state governments. The Fourth Amendment right against search and seizure has been used by corporations from having to open up their books. Fourth Amendment protections require inspectors from [OSHA] to produce a warrant in advance of an inspection, giving companies an opportunity to whisk irregularities out of sight. Many First Amendment free speech protections apply to corporations. See Reclaim Democracy (http://www.reclaimdemocracy.org)."

Advancing the notion that corporations are people in the living, breathing sense is quite obviously fallacious.
Advancing the legal fiction of corporate personhood, necessary to give corporations standing to litigate in court, pay taxes, enter contracts, buy, hold and sell real estate, be held responsible for torts and crimes, etc., is not fallacious. But it doesn't make them actual people.

Rory: Phil said US Ryder Cup task force copied Europe
Rory McIlroy lands Phil Mickelson right in it...
Thu, 22 Feb 2018
Rory McIlroy has revealed how Phil Mickelson told him the United States' Ryder Cup task force is a straight copy of the European team.
McIlroy, who was paired alongside Mickelson at Pebble Beach two weeks ago, let the cat out of the bag to the media ahead of this week's Honda Classic at PGA National.
"Basically, all they are doing is copying what the Europeans have done," said McIlroy said. "That's what he (Mickelson) said."
The Europeans claimed their sixth of seven Ryder Cups with their victory at Gleneagles in 2014, and it pushed the Americans into doing something about it.
Mickelson called out the tactics of 2014 captain Tom Watson, who was outmaneuvered by European captain Paul McGinley.
Two years later, the Americans defeated Europe with a commanding 17-11 victory at Hazeltine.
"He said the first thing they did in that task force was Phil played a video, a 12-minute video of Paul McGinley to all of them," said McIlroy.
"So, they are copying what we do, and it's working for them. It's more cohesive, and the team and the core of that team are more in control of what they are doing, instead of the PGA of America recruiting and someone telling them what to do."

Ye Olde Battle between states' rights and the federal government's big foot is heating up again in Texas.
This time, Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives are playing hardball with Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, who they have accused of taking billions in federal stimulus dollars meant for public schools and refusing to spend it on hiring in school districts.
In an amendment to the $10 billion edujobs bill that was approved by the House late last week, some Texas Democrats attached a measure that would single out the Lone Star State by requiring that the roughly $820 million that the state would be eligible for go directly to school districts. The effort is aimed at getting around Gov. Perry's office, though, in order for the districts to receive the money, the governor would have to "certify" that the federal funds would not supplant any state money. Texas' receipt of the money would also be conditional on the governor promising not to proportionally cut public schools more than any other sector in the next budget cycle.
Perry's office has been fuming and said any attempt by Washington to dictate how Texas devises a budget would be "unconstitutional." The U.S. Senate still must vote on the larger measure, which includes the Texas provision.
Remember that Perry, a staunch preacher of states' rights, has twice refused to participate in the Obama administration's $4 billion Race to the Top sweepstakes, saying it amounted to too much federal intrusion in a state matter.
This latest dust-up is playing out as Perry pursues re-election. His main challenger—former Houston Mayor Bill White, a Democrat—has been sharply critical of the governor's education policies, particularly Texas' high school dropout numbers.

Howdy girls! Many girls and women concentrating only on their face beauty they not even care about their hands and legs, especially legs. Why because they think face beauty is enough to make you as a beautiful girl or women. But in reality it is not like that people see the legs and hands also to estimate our cleanliness and beauty conscious. So let see how to keep our hands and legs clean and beautiful by doing pedicure and manicure respectively.
The main difference between pedicure and manicure are a manicure is a beauty treatment for hands and finger nails and pedicure is a beauty treatment for legs and feet. Let see in detail.
Take a bucket or tub fill it with hot water the heat of water should be tolerable, add 10 ml of Dettol and 20 ml of shampoo mix it well. Add 1 tablespoon of salt. If you need you may add lemon juice. Mix it thoroughly. Then soak your feet in the water bucket for about 20 minutes and relax yourself. By doing this way you can remove unwanted dirt's and bacteria's from feet. After 20 minutes dry your feet using soft cotton towel. Apply some moisturizing cream or massage cream and gently massage your feet for about 5 minutes. If you want to cut your nails you may cut them in this stage and you can apply nail polish as per your liking. If already your nails are coated with nail color you should remove them before soaking your legs into water. Pedicure helps to remove dirt and make your feet soft, hydrated and clean. It helps to promote blood circulation while massaging.
Wash your hands using soap as per your wish. Cut your nails in any shape as you need. Apply some coconut oil and massage your hands and nail for 5 minutes. Apply the paraffin wax pack on your and using brush all over your hand let them dry after 20 minutes it completely dried. Then remove it gently and apply some hand cream. You just dip your fingernails into milk and soak it well for 10 minutes it helps to improve the nail growth, if you need you may apply nail color as per your liking. Try this weekly once you will definitely feel the difference. It helps to make your hand more beautiful.

The Mennello Museum of American Art Announces Its Spring Exhibition — The Grand Portraits of Mr. Eddy Mumma — on View April 23 – August 1, 2021
The Mennello Museum of American Art is proud to announce the exhibition opening of The Grand Portraits of Mr. Eddy Mumma. The exhibit is only the third solo museum exhibition of the artist's work to date and is on view from April 23 – August 1, 2021.
"The museum is excited to bring together 25 compelling paintings by one of Florida's self-taught and truly outsider artists," shared Mennello Museum Executive Director Shannon Fitzgerald. "The portraits reflect the people and personalities with whom he desired to surround himself. He was prolific in production and with a compulsion to immerse himself in his self-isolation suggests that his creative quest was deeply personal, cathartic, and absolutely necessary."
The Grand Portraits of Mr. Eddy Mumma explores the self-taught artist's lavish portraits from the Mennello Museum of American Art's collection and other prominent Florida collections – including Josh Feldstein, The Gadsden Arts Center & Museum, and Dr. Lou Hill.
Mumma abandoned any notion of traditional art schooling after a teacher's insult during his first lesson at the age of 60 in Gainesville, Florida. A homebound Mumma would take this slight in stride. Instead of giving up, he poured over art books, texts, and popular magazines given to him by friends and family. These beloved images intermingled with his imagination to develop the round-faced, wide-awake, geometric figures he is renowned for today. A proliferation of portraits originally hung from every inch of the artist's modest home, immersing the artist in a gallery of his self-inspired works. These mysterious, smiling, and sometimes frenzied characters were his constant companions, always within sight, rarely shown, and never sold.
Feldstein's eye for the cleverness and ingenuity of Mumma's painting practice was instrumental in preserving the artist's many works. At the time of Mumma's passing in 1986, he had completed nearly 1,000 paintings – excitedly using the brightest paints on any surface within reach, painting both sides of doors, lamps, plywood, masonite, canvas, and glass. It was the foresight and graciousness of Feldstein to assist the artist's daughter, Carroll Gunsaulies, in preserving and sharing her father's work with the world that entered him into the celebrated canon of American Folk Art. Mumma is also featured in the Smithsonian American Art Museum collections, the American Folk Art Museum, Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Fenimore Museum, the Kohler Foundation, and the American Visionary Art Museum among others. Serendipitously, an insult by a Gainesville art instructor and 18 years creating art in Gainesville ultimately led to Gainesville, Florida's Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art highlighting Mumma's collection.
"I am delighted to share The Grand Portraits of Mr. Eddy Mumma with our audiences this summer," said Mennello Museum Curator of Art and Education Katherine Page. "While studying Mumma's portraiture and paintings, one begins to understand his deep appreciation for historical painting and ethnographic photography. Renowned images inspired his work, from Van Gogh to Frans Hals and the pages of National Geographic. This admiration translated into recreating masterpieces in his own distinctive style, which was dedicated to the expression of form, color, and texture therein. "She continues, "The figures in Mumma's later portraits carry unique and intimate yet recognizable emotions: some appear cheerful, focused, proud, sad, nervous, and even alienated. The effect is striking and pulls the viewer closer into the piece— face-to-face with the artist's intuitive practice."

Debbie's Creative Spot: I'm back!
Sorry I have not posted all week. I've been busy preparing for a workshop I have Saturday for 15-20 people and various other commitments. I also am not feeling well so when I had some down time, I just sat to try and regain some energy. I'm also working on a project for a class and will get that posted soon. You are going to love it! For today, here is a quick and easy masculine card.


We produce enough food to feed 10 billion people. So why does hunger still exist?
This is the second article of seventeen exploring the challenges of each of the United Nation's Seventeen Sustainable Development Goals.
Today, 795 million people are hungry. Another 2 billion are expected to join them by 2050.
However, global food production is incredibly efficient. The world's farmers produce enough food to feed 1.5x the global population. That's enough to feed 10 billion (we are at 7.6 billion currently).
Despite this excess, hunger still exists.
Our inability to feed the entirety of the world's population is mostly due to food waste. Globally, 30–40% of all food is wasted.
In less developed countries, this waste is due to lack of infrastructure and knowledge to keep food fresh. For example, India loses 30–40% of its produce because retail and wholesalers lack cold storage.
In more developed countries, the lower relative cost of food reduces the incentive to waste. And as portion size grows, more and more food gets thrown out and wasted.
Our food distribution system is inefficient. But this inefficiency won't drive 2 billion more people into hunger by 2050.
Climate change will reshape the world's agricultural landscape. Colder climates will become more favorable to agriculture, but many current agriculture powerhouses will see significant declines in yield.
The US's Midwest region will see at least a 20% decline in corn production.
Brazil will see a 16% drop in corn production.
To safeguard against these changes, farmers will need to both modernize agricultural methods and diversify their fields.
In terms of outcomes, modernizing methods falls into the same bucket as updating food infrastructure. Both require investment and knowledge to improve yield and food availability.
But diversifying fields? That incorporates more crops and methods into agricultural processes. And, ultimately, it can reinvent agriculture itself.
Diversifying our crops is paramount to our health. According to the UN, 75% of crop biodiversity has disappeared since the 1900s. Agricultural biodiversity contributes to more nutritious diets and builds more resilient and sustainable farming systems.
However, another necessary component to building resilient and sustainable farming systems is to reduce risk. Climate change-induced impacts will rock many agricultural hubs. To minimize these impacts on food availability, we need to decentralize its production.
And urban agriculture is a great place to start.
Urban agriculture incorporates producing healthy food into an environment long detached from its food production.
Let's use City Fruit, a nonprofit in Seattle, as an example.
Seattle has an abundance of fruit trees throughout its neighborhoods and parks. Every year, much of this fruit falls, rots, and wastes. City Fruit saw a need and began diverting this fruit to communities lacking healthy food access.
In just a few years, City Fruit began harvesting over 55,000 pounds of fruit. This amount of fruit not just feeds thousands, but nourishes them as well. It makes use of local resources, and as a result, improves community resiliency.
To end hunger, we need to replicate these types of stories across the globe. We need to identify communities' abundant local resources, strengthen them, and utilize them to improve food access to those who need it most.
Yes, it will be challenging.
And yes, it will require innovation.
But I'm excited to see what the world creates.
People, policy, and the future. Just a millennial trying to make sense of where we are headed.

Saga of the forgotten warrior house of assassins
Saga of the forgotten warrior house of assassins. Saga of the Forgotten Warrior Books by Larry Correia from Simon & Schuster 2019-04-23
Tuesday, April 23, 2019 5:35:20 PM Kenneth
House of Assassins (Forgotten Warrior Saga, book 2) by Larry Correia
The sagas that extend through multiple volumes and build characters, lands, and new kinds of evildoers. Ashok Vadal and the Sons of the Black Sword march to rescue Thera. Ashok Vidal was once a member of the highest caste in all of Lok. But apparently Correia is trying to err on the other side of the Martins and Jordans of the world and their bloated series. Scheming politics abound with a good helping of warrior battles and personal heroics, making this episode a real treat with characters that grow on you. .
The Testimony of the Traitor Ratul. A new free short story in the Saga of the Forgotten Warrior
He delivers a great performance bringing all the characters to life with his refined British accent and a huge array of different voices and tones. He holds her prisoner in the House of Assassins. Same narrator, and he's excellent. He will never do something that goes against the letter of the law! It might rise to 4 out of 5 once I read books two and three. A reluctant prophet with the power to see into the future, she fought alongside Ashok Vadal and his company of men known as the Sons of the Black Sword until a shapeshifting wizard with designs on her powers of precognition spirited her away. When Dead Six compromises his objective, Lorenzo has a new job: Find and kill Valentine. Nothing special in this one.
House of Assassins (Saga of the Forgotten Warrior) By Larry Correia (Hardcover) 9781481483766
I may have to circle back both to this book and this review at some point and add additional thoughts. Lots of journeying and talking, interspersed with really interesting fight scenes and odd uses of magic. But then his father is executed for treason, and he and his best friend, Cade, are thrown into a prison mine, doomed to work until they drop. His brutality was legendary and celebrated. So I picked up a book of what if scenarios in the remaindered section for my credit card purchase and a few weeks later the gift card arrived. Correia lives in Utah with his wife and family. There isn't as much intrigue and plotting in the second book but there is a bit more character development, to the point that Keta is also now an indestructible super powerful being with convenient magic powers.

Both my wife and I regard Larry Correia as one of our favourite authors. Desperate to find a way to break the stalemate, the answer lies in the half-forgotten words of an ancient song. He himself, senior member of the Protector Order, was casteless. Another installment of an amazing, addictive and creative series. Makes my days so much more interesting. I said it before and I'll say it again, Larry Correia is an amazing author and always manages to deliver great entertainment for his fans. In a series of flashback chapters, the story is revealed how he is chosen by the sword at age five.
House of Assassins by Larry Correia
Great audible narration by Tim Gerard Reynolds. Brisk fight scenes, lively characters, and plenty of black humor continue to make this series a real pleasure. Very unique, and evolving character. I like the way that Ashok is finally understanding barely that the Law is not all it's cracked up to be and that free will seems to have a place in the world. That is most of them for the past 26 or so years. It's a tasty cheeseburger of a fantasy book. But there is much more at risk in the continent of Lok.
House of Assassins (Audiobook) by Larry Correia
There's political intrigue, lots of swordfighting, both magic and science, even religion based on old gods. None was more merciless than he in stamping out the lingering belief in gods and demons among the casteless. Rescued by a man who hates him yet is oath-bound to protect him, pursued by inhuman forces, Aren slowly accepts that everything he knew about his world was a lie. With his sword Angruvadal, Ashok was unstoppable. After the chaos of the Wizard Wars a thousand years ago, the people turned their backs on magic. Ashok Vadal and the Sons of the Black Sword march to rescue Thera.
None was more merciless than he in stamping out the lingering belief in gods and demons among the casteless. Some are great with plot. He holds her prisoner in the House of Assassins. Thera had been first daughter of Vane. I have a new free short story available now on the Baen website. Correia also weaves in elements that question the value of belief and the cost of giving authority to those who find more profit in preying on the weak.
House of Assassins
The ocean is hell in this world. A reluctant prophet with the power to see into the future, she fought alongside Ashok Vadal and his company of men known as the Sons of the Black Sword until a shapeshifting wizard with designs on her powers of precognition spirited her away. Strange forces are working behind the scenes. Usually, I am in a hurry to finish a book for one reason or another and I am looking at page numbers or time remaining if it's a Audible version until the end. A powerful epic fantasy evolves into a solid, compelling read. Their mission is to take the fight to the enemy and not get caught. The plotting is excellent, and Correia makes you care about the characters.
House of Assassins (Saga of the Forgotten Warrior Book 2) eBook: Larry Correia: www.serverside-developer.com: Kindle Store
But the holy book of the nethermancers has just been found by a boy named Dante. For additional information, see the Global Shipping Program Brand New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. He's never questioned it; that's just the way things are. Mankind was nearly eradicated by the seemingly unstoppable beasts until the gods sent the great hero, Ramrowan, to save them. He holds her prisoner in the House of Assassins. Some of them are evil, and some are just hungry.
Her task: hold down the fort and take care of her new baby son Ray. House of Assassins picks up right where the previous book left off and we see a changed Ashok Vadal, stripped of his rank, of his powers, but fighting to help his very few friends as The Protectors and other enemies hunt him down. Thera had been first daughter of Vane. Ashok Vadal was once a member of the highest caste in all of Lok. Ashok Vadal and the Sons of the Black Sword are caught up in a game they do not fully understand, with powerful forces allied against them.
