[1690] Of find the equations

Yet again, another entry without too many words.

The photo below was captured around Kota Damansara after a short hiking trip with a company of friends in the forest park.

I am trying to sort out my life at the moment and I hope to get on top of things before the end of next week. Until then, meaningful entries will be a rare phenomenon here.

And yes, I do entertain fan (and hate) mails. For some reason, I am (relatively) famous these days.

[1687] Of food crisis, overblown

I am currently reading the latest OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2007-2018 as part of work and one of the more interesting facts is:

The commodity price spikes witnessed in the last couple of years, and particularly most recently, are exceptional when viewed from the perspective of the last decade or so but not so much so when seen in a longer historical context. Figure 2.1 shows the evolution of annual average world prices of wheat, coarse grains, rice and oilseeds from 1970 to 2007, with projections from 2008 to 2017. Monthly average prices for April 2008 are also included to indicate most recent developments. [Page 38. OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2007-2018. OECD-FAO. 2008]

I will try to put up the graph later in the day but I have a dinner appointment to catch. Tata.

[1686] Of Huntelaar on the loose!

Yeehaa!

According to a source close to the Dutch team, van Basten is likely to rest up to five of the starting line-up which beat 2006 World Cup finalists France 4-1 on Friday.

Ajax striker Klas-Jan Huntelaar is set to replace Ruud van Nistelrooy up front. [No easy ride for Romania, insists van Basten. AFP. June 16 2008]
