Agriculture sustainable way of making a living, says GBM - Daily Mail

By CHRISTINE CHISHA and KAPALA CHISUNKA
MINISTER of Defence Geoffrey Mwamba has urged Zambians to venture into agriculture as it is a sustainable way of making a living.
And Vice-President?s wife Charlotte Scott, has described this year?s 87th edition of the Agriculture and Commercial Show as an eye-opener for farmers to diversify crops and adapt to climate change.
Mr Mwamba, who pledged Government?s support towards the sector, said agriculture is the mainstay of the Zambian economy.
?Why should we allow foreigners to take over the agriculture sector when we are able to work more than them? In fact, I have been informed by the Minister of Agriculture and Livestock that there are various support programmes for farmers,? he said.
Mr Mwamba was speaking in Lusaka after touring stands at the Agriculture and Commercial Show yesterday.
The 87th edition of the Agriculture and Commercial Show is running under the theme ?Business in a changing environment?.
The minister said it is time Zambia became a nation of producers to feed the entire nation and export excess produce.
Mr Mwamba, who described the exhibitions at the show as impressive, said he has been encouraged to venture into agriculture in Kasama.
Mr Mwamba expressed optimism that this year?s show will be a success and toured nine local stands.
The minister arrived at the showgrounds around 09:40 and was met by Minister of Agriculture and Livestock Bob Sichinga and other senior Government officials.
Mr Sichinga said his ministry targets to produce 150,000 metric tonnes of fertiliser for the 2013/2014 farming season.
He said 70,000 tonnes of fertiliser will go towards the Fertiliser Input Support Programme (FISP) and the rest will go to the open market.
And Dr Scott said apart from farmers adapting to climate change and conservation farming, this year?s theme will help business people to diversify in their marketing strategy.
She said she was impressed that both farmers and business people have come up with new ways of doing business.
She pinpointed companies like Zesco, who are working tirelessly to meet the demand for electricity countryside, mitigate load shedding and build more hydro-power stations.
Dr Scott was also impressed with young farmers from rural areas who she said have more information and knowledge on climate change.
She commended NIPA for coming up with degree programmes and building a modern library.
She arrived at the Show Grounds around 09:10 hours and toured eight stands in the company of show society past president Elizabeth Nkumbula.

Andreessen-Backed Tutor Matching Service Is Working With Colleges To Upend The Tutoring Industry, Starting With Cost

Of the many ways that technology is disrupting education, one area that's changing a lot, is rife with potential, but doesn't get as much play as it should is tutoring. Mostly, this involves the attempt to make high-quality, local tutors accessible to a wider range of students online, without having to turn to traditional channels, like Craigslist or those pesky, expensive SAT-focused private networks.

Nick Clegg reveals frustration over David Ward's Israel comments

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has revealed his frustration over controversial MP David Ward's comments on Israel.

Mr Clegg said he had discussed the issue with the Bradford East representative until he was "blue in the face".

In an interview with the Bradford Telegraph and Argus, the Lib Dem leader said he found it "totally unacceptable" that Mr Ward had continued to raise questions about Israel's right to exist.

The party whip was temporarily removed from Mr Ward last month following a series of tweets he sent about "apartheid" in Israel and how long the "Zionists" would last.

Mr Clegg told the paper: ?I believe and my party believes ? and David Ward is a representative of the Liberal Democrats ? in a two-state solution.

"It?s not consistent with our values and our policy to start raising questions about the existence of the state of Israel.

"That?s why I took the unprecedented step, after due process, to suspend the whip ? the first time I have done that to a Lib Dem MP.?

But Mr Clegg made no reference in the interview to Mr Ward's most offensive claims in January, ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day, that "the Jews" had afflicted "atrocities on the Palestinians".

New comments made by Mr Ward to his local paper today suggest he will not back down. He criticised Lib Dem chief whip Alistair Carmichael, suggesting he believed Mr Ward was "courting the Muslim vote".

Mr Ward said: "But that?s damned insulting both to Muslims and the white community I represent in Bradford, who regularly come up to me and offer their support.?

You Shouldn't Speak First When Learning Spanish

If there is only one thing I can tell you that you need to remember in order to learn Spanish or any Language at all- it is to:

Learn to LISTEN first BEFORE speaking.

Listening equals INPUT and speaking equals PRODUCTION. Let us take a factory as an example - how can a factory produce tons of products if it had no resources first and foremost? The steps they take are the same, right? They first gather resources (input) then they go into PRODUCTION. There is really no other way around.

Now that I told you about the factory; don't you think it's the same with language learning? You're just like a factory - a factory of words and vocabulary. How do you expect yourself to produce anything when you clearly have no input AT ALL? And not just that; you know what happens to a factory owner if he goes into production phase without the resources first in place? Aside from not being able to produce anything profitable, he will end up paying for overhead fees for the production and sooner or later the corporation becomes bankrupt and dies. The same goes to you, my friend; wanna die? Just kidding.

Obsessing on speaking without enough to input can lead into a disaster- you will end up being frustrated and eventually get burned out and quit. Remember that language learning is a not a "get rich quick" scheme. It involves a long road of immersion and Spanish (or any language you are learning) input acquisition. But the great news is that if you will use the correct and scientific method of language learning like the input method that we always discus; you can be sure to learn a lot FASTER than a guy who only uses only textbooks and burns himself out in classes as a beginner.

I myself took only 8 months of watching Spanish series then I found myself understanding 80% of what are being said. Spanish now sounds more or less like English for me and I now enjoy the Telenovelas and Spanish movies more than ever!

So that is what you must do for now- just watch Spanish-dubbed English shows you've seen many times in the past and I am sure after a few months you will become a real "Spaniard" just don't force yourself out for now.

So what are you waiting for? Play those telenovelas now. If you are learning German then play German drama; if you are learning French, then French - just don't stop until it makes you cry.

By the way, where do you get those movies? We have them at TRANSLATE FROM SPANISH TO ENGLISH (dot) com for FREE! Where learning Spanish is always fun and studying languages never feels like studying. BONUS, for a limmited time only: download Extr@ Espa?ol for free here: Extr@ Espa?ol

Former NCAA athletes win video game lawsuit against EA

Sports

Chris Morris, Special to CNBC CNBC.com

13 hours ago

Stephen Dunn / Getty Images

Quarterback Sam Keller of the Arizona State Sun Devils during a game against the USC Trojans on October 1, 2005 in Tempe, Ariz. Keller has successfully sued EA to stop using his likeness.

Electronic Arts' college sports franchises have been sacked by a U.S. federal appeals court.

In a 2-1 vote, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with a lower court that EA had used the images in its video games of several ex-NCAA athletes without their permission in its NCAA football and basketball series. The decision comes two weeks after EA lost the rights to put the NCAA logo and name on its games beyond this year.

Circuit Judge Jay Bybee, writing for the majority of the court, said EA's game "literally recreates [Arizona State University quarterback Samuel] Keller in the very setting in which he has achieved renown."

Circuit Judge Sidney Thomas dissented, however, arguing that the games' creative elements "predominate over the commercial use of the athletes' likenesses" and that "Keller's impressive physical likeness can be morphed by the gamer into an overweight and slow virtual athlete, with anemic passing ability".

The decision could open up additional legal action against the video game publisher from other former college athletes who have been unhappy with their likenesses being used in the games without compensation.

In a statement, EA said it was "disappointed with the ruling against First Amendment protection in the Keller case. We believe the reasoning in Judge Thomas' dissent in that decision will ultimately prevail as we seek further court review."

EA is already facing similar suits to the one ruled on today by the appeals court. The company asked a judge on Tuesday to dismiss the latest complaint, which was filed on behalf of a group of athletes led by Ed O'Bannon, a former star at the University of California, Los Angeles. Also, in May, a federal appeals court revived a similar suit from former Rutgers University quarterback Ryan Hart.

EA had argued in the case that using the athletes' likeness was protected under the free expression clause of the First Amendment. Judges disagreed in the case of college athletes, but?in a separate decision?agreed with EA in the case of former pro players.

The court unanimously upheld the dismissal of a suit by Hall of Famer Jim Brown, whose image was used in EA's Madden game.

EA has used the First Amendment argument before when facing legal action for images in its games. In 2011, Bell Helicopter parent Textron sued over the game maker's use of images of a trio of real world helicopters in "Battlefield 3."

Slideshow: The year's best-selling video games so far

Textron argued its choppers were used without permission and EA failed to pay licensing fees. EA claimed protection under the First Amendment and the use of the aircraft constituted fair use.

The case is still pending, though EA did lose an attempt to have the complaint dismissed a year ago.

While the Madden franchise is a larger driver of revenues, EA still relied heavily on its NCAA franchise. But sales this year have been soft, say analysts. John Taylor of Arcadia Investment Corp. said he believes sales of the 2013 installment are off roughly 10 percent compared to the 2012 game.

And starting next year, the company won't be able to use the NCAA name. The league recently announced it would not negotiate a new contract with EA when the current one expires next June.

"We are confident in our legal position regarding the use of our trademarks in video games," the NCAA said at the time. "But given the current business climate and costs of litigation, we determined participating in this game is not in the best interests of the NCAA. ... The NCAA has never licensed the use of current student-athlete names, images or likenesses to EA. The NCAA has no involvement in licenses between EA and former student-athletes."

EA has vowed to continue making college sports games, however.

"Our relationship with the Collegiate Licensing Company [which manages the trademarks of the majority of the colleges in the game] is strong and we are already working on a new game for next generation consoles which will launch next year and feature the college teams, leagues, and all the innovation fans expect from EA Sports," said Andrew Wilson, executive vice president of EA in a statement.

Analysts say they don't expect the loss to have a material financial impact on Electronic Arts, noting that the NCAA was a co-defendant in the suit.

"The transgressor here is the NCAA, I believe," said Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities. "I don't believe EA said to the NCAA 'can we use licensed images of the players.' The NCAA said 'no' and EA said 'we're going to do it anyway'."

"The NCAA has the right to license the athletes image without compensation to the athlete if he's playing in a [real world] game," Pachter added. "The question is: Can it exploit the likenesses out of the game? That depends on the contract the player signs with the NCAA."

Kristen Stewart is no longer Hollywood's highest-paid actress ? who took her spot?

Kristen Stewart was Hollywood's highest-paid actress for last year, according to Forbes, but someone else took the number one spot for this year. Kristen Stewart recently starred in the 'Twilight' films and 'Snow White and the Huntsman.'

All told, the actress earned an estimated $33 million between June 2012 and June 2013. That's a $13 million dollar raise from last year. Jolie had previously topped Forbes' 2013 "Most Powerful Actress" list as well.

Jolie reportedly earned $15 million for "Maleficent," Disney's retelling of the classic Sleeping Beauty story.

In second place is Hollywood's current "It girl," Jennifer Lawrence. At $26 million a year, the Academy Award-winning actress ("Silver Linings Playbook") earned less than $1 million for "The Hunger Games," but after enormous box office success, Lionsgate gladly bumped up her pay for the sequel.

Kristen Stewart, who topped last year's list with a whopping $34.5 million in earnings, ranks third this year with an estimated $22 million.

Jennifer Aniston was next with $20 million, still making those "Friends" residuals.?Ranking fifth is Emma Stone who earned an estimated $16 million.

Rounding out the top 10 in order is Charlize Theron in sixth ($15 million), Sandra Bullock ($14 million), Natalie Portman ($14 million), Mila Kunis ($11 million) and Julia Roberts ($11 million).

Forbes compiled its list by talking to agents, managers and other "in-the-know" people to estimate entertainment-related revenue for each celebrity between June 2012 and June 2013. It did not deduct for taxes, agent fees or "any of the other costs of being a celebrity."

Broncos' LB Von Miller faces four game suspension for violating NFL policy

Von Miller, the Denver Broncos? All-Pro linebacker, faces a four-game suspension for a still-unspecified violation of NFL policy. But the NFL Players Association is leading an appeal of the suspension, and Miller's status for the start of the regular season remains up in the air.

ESPN first reported the pending violation Monday morning, and the Denver Post later reported that Miller has been in the league testing program since a positive test for amphetamines and marijuana in his rookie year of 2011.

In a pair of tweets Monday afternoon, NFLPA spokesman George Atallah said, ?The NFLPA is working closely with (Miller) to appeal his suspension. We are all very disappointed that confidentiality was breached. I can also confirm that Von?s case does not involve the Steroids and Related Substances Policy.??

Miller himself had tweeted earlier Monday, ?Seeing reports abt 4 game susp. I know I did nothing wrong. I'm sure this'll be resolved fairly. Disapp. Broncos have 2 open camp like this."

The Broncos open camp on Wednesday. Their regular-season opener is a nationally-televised playoff rematch with the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens in Denver on Thursday night September 5.

Miller, the second pick in the 2011 draft, has 30 sacks and forced nine fumbles in his first two seasons, and the Broncos reached the playoffs in each season.

Brandon Krisztal, a reporter for Denver radio station KKFN-FM 104.3, told ESPN?s SportsCenter Monday morning?and later posted on his Twitter account?that he had been told that Miller had tested positive for two recreational drugs.

Kate Middleton gives birth to Royal baby boy as lightning strikes behind the London Eye

• London Eye illuminated in red, white and blue as it stands out against thundery sky
• Fountains in Trafalgar Square run blue as Tower Bridge is also lit up with blue to celebrate birth of a boy
• Niagara Falls also coloured blue to signify that Kate gave birth to a future King yesterday afternoon

Landmarks across the world were lit up overnight to welcome the arrival of Britain's future King.

The London Eye adopted a patriotic red, white and blue colouring, while the fountains in Trafalgar Square ran blue to signify that the Duchess of Cambridge had given birth to a baby boy.

Niagara Falls was also lit up in blue, providing a stunning spectacle for those who gathered to watch the famous waterfall on the U.S.-Canada border.

Tribute: The London Eye was coloured red, white and blue to celebrate the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's son

Tribute: The Eye was one of many landmarks which changed colour last night after the announcement

Dramatic: The thunderstorm over London last night providing an apt background on the historic night

It was first announced that Kate and William's son had been born around 8.30 last night - allowing sights to Britain to light up in celebration as soon as dusk fell.

The BT tower in Fitzrovia, central London displayed a message broadcasting the news to Londoners as soon as it was revealed.

?

The London Eye, on the south bank of the Thames, was illuminated in red, white and blue throughout the night.

The iconic landmark stood out against the dramatic sky as thunderstorms flared above Britain.

Announcement: The news that Kate had given birth to a boy was revealed on the BT tower in Fitzrovia

Marker: The fountains in Trafalgar Square will be coloured blue for the rest of the week after the Royal birth

Vista: The fountains shone electric blue in front of the National Gallery as celebrations continued

Skyline: Tower Bridge also broadcast the news that a boy had been born by using blue lights

Sight: Outside London, Blackpool Tower shone blue overnight to mark the future King's arrival into the world

Tower Bridge was another famous London sight which turned blue for the night to tell passers-by about the birth of a healthy 8lbs 6oz boy.

Trafalgar Square's fountains were lit with blue lights last night, and London mayor Boris Johnson said they will be lit for the next six days in celebration of the royal birth.

'Huge congratulations to the Duke and Duchess on the birth of their first child who will, by virtue of being born in this great city, be a Londoner through and through,' he said.

'I am sure millions of Londoners will be raising a glass today to toast this wonderful news.'

Spectacular: Niagara Falls, the world's most famous waterfall, also took on a blue hue for the occasion

Huge effort: The waterfall, which stands on the border between Canada and the U.S., made an extraordinary sight

Skyscraper: In Toronto, the CN Tower was lit up in blue for the benefit of the child's future subjects in Canada

Parliament: Ottawa's government buildings and the Peace Tower were lit up in blue as well

The public rejoicing at the birth of a new Prince, whose name has not yet been revealed, was not confined to the UK.

Other countries which share the British Royal family, such as Canada and New Zealand, also shared in the celebration of the historic moment.

Perhaps the most spectacular sight came at Niagara Falls, where lights were used to colour the whole waterfall blue for a boy.

The falls' 6million cubic feet per minute glowed blue, to the delight of holidaymakers on the scene.

Destination: Christchurch Airport shared in the celebration by turning all its lights blue today

Anticipation: Landmarks in Auckland were alternating pink and blue after Kate went into labour yesterday

In Canada, other landmarks to have been lit up in blue including Canada's CN Tower and the parliamentary buildings in Ottawa.

New Zealand's Christchurch Airport was also shining in blue, while landmarks in Auckland alternated pink and blue after Kate went into labour but before the sex of the baby was known.

Others chose a more unusual tribute to the future King - the crews of HMS Lancaster and HMS Kent spelt out 'A BOY' by standing in formation on the deck of their ship after the announcement was made.

On the high seas: Sailors on HMS Lancaster posed up in the shape of the word 'BOY' for this aerial photograph

Unorthodox: The crew of HMS Kent formed themselves into the words 'A BOY' after the happy news was announced

It's official! As is traditional, the news of the birth was announced via an easel outside Buckingham Palace

CHICAGO (AP) ? Max Scherzer went right back to winning. Miguel Cabrera walked off the field.

Scherzer outpitched Chris Sale in a marquee matchup of All-Star starters to earn his 14th victory, and the Tigers overcame Cabrera's injury to beat the Chicago White Sox 7-3 on Monday night.

With one out in the bottom of the fifth inning, Cabrera was replaced at third base by Don Kelly. The 2012 AL MVP, who appeared to be holding his left side as he headed to the dugout, was removed with a sore hip flexor muscle and will be evaluated Tuesday.

Detroit manager Jim Leyland said the Tigers are going to "wait and see" on Cabrera's condition.

"You know what? If he's got to miss a few games, he's got to miss a few games, and we find out how tough we are," Leyland said.

Cabrera, who became baseball's first Triple Crown winner in 45 years last season, has played in 97 of Detroit's 98 games this year. He began the day leading the AL with a .359 batting average and 96 RBIs.

After scoring from second in the top of the fifth on Victor Martinez's single, Cabrera tried to loosen up his side. He wasn't able to do it, so he left the game.

"It (felt) weird," Cabrera said.

Without Cabrera, the Tigers still had more than enough to beat Chicago, which gave up five unearned runs.

Scherzer (14-1) won his first 13 decisions before losing his last outing before he started the All-Star game for the American League last Tuesday night at Citi Field. He went eight innings Monday and allowed four hits while striking out five.

The right-hander, who didn't allow a baserunner until Adam Dunn's single with one out in the fifth, increased his strikeout total to 157. The only two runs Scherzer gave up came on solo homers by Dayan Viciedo and Conor Gillaspie.

Scherzer also knew what kind of challenge he faced in Sale.

"You know every time when Sale's on the mound, he's one of the best. You've got to bring your A game if you're going to have a chance," Scherzer said. "Tonight I thought I pitched the ball very well, but I also could have lost. At the same time, my teammates had a good idea of what they wanted to do."

Martinez had four hits to raise his July average to .425 and Torii Hunter homered in the seventh for Detroit, which improved to 43-9 when scoring five or more runs.

That offense, though, might not be the same if Cabrera is out for a little while.

"If Miggy comes out of a game he's definitely in pain, but Miggy's one of those guys, he's tough. He won't be out long," Hunter said. "I definitely think if you need to rest him a little bit, a couple days, I guess we have to do that. We need him for the long run. If it takes a couple days for him to get where he needs to be, I think we should do it."

Even with Sale pitching, the White Sox were far from where they needed to be Monday.

Sale followed Scherzer to the mound in the All-Star game and worked two scoreless innings. This time, the left-hander pitched eight innings and gave up four runs ? two earned. He yielded seven hits while striking out 11.

Sale (6-9) has struck out at least 10 five times this season.

The Tigers scored two unearned runs in the fifth to make it 3-0 when Martinez singled with two outs, bringing in Hernan Perez and Cabrera. Perez led off the inning with a routine grounder to shortstop, but Alexei Ramirez misplayed it for the first of his two errors.

After retiring Austin Jackson and Hunter, Sale walked Cabrera intentionally and then Fielder to load the bases for Martinez. Sale was visibly upset with the decision to walk Cabrera.

"I like people to earn their way on base," Sale said. "That's about it."

Chicago, which was trying to win three straight games for the first time since June 8-10, fell to 11-20 against AL Central teams. The White Sox allowed five unearned runs and made three more errors to reach 64 after committing 70 last year.

"It's going to happen every once in a while," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "You hope this one, even in the second half, is one of those every-once-in-a-whiles."

NOTES: Leyland said it "might be wishful thinking" that Detroit 2B Omar Infante (left ankle) could be back by the weekend. Infante has been on the disabled list since July 4. ... Paul Konerko, activated from the 15-day DL following a lower back strain, was the White Sox designated hitter and went 0 for 3 in his first game since July 2. ... White Sox RHP Jake Peavy said the trade speculation surrounding him "is not something that consumes any bit of my thought process." Peavy does not have trade protection in the two-year contract he signed this offseason. ... Tuesday's pitching matchup is Detroit's Rick Porcello (6-6, 4.80 ERA) against Chicago's Hector Santiago (3-5, 3.30).
