News and Recent Developments
- February 2013: SCN reports their Uganda partner, Solar Connect Association, under the direction of Kawesa Mukasa, has his promising ISC Small Enterprise, is now making a profit and is completely financially independent. Thirty people are generating income by manuafacturing, public promotion and marketing activities, all combined with intensive ISC sale programs. We are really very impressed by their work and consider this as a model for other ISC initiatives. SCA has been invited by NGOs in Ethiopia/ and Addis Ababa University to perform an ISC training to thirty young people and future small enterprise employees on the Improved CooKit, April 1-5 in Ethiopia; In Ethiopia SCN together with partner HoA-REC (Horn of Africa Regional Environment Center), twenty Renewable Energy Centers for Rural Households are being built and developed. In all the centers integrating solar cookers will be part of the small enterprise. HoA-REC and SCN assigned Fikirte Regassa Beyene being SCN representative in Ethiopia and becoming ISC expert for Ethiopia. She has an important innovative and organizational responsibility.
- December 2012: A new Solar Cooking Business is started in Awra Amba, Ethiopia an exceptional community north Ethiopia. Together with Solar Cooking Netherlands the action plan is completed and the construction of the production centre is started in the village's distinctive building style: a wooden construction finished with a mixture of available loam and soil. The production of CooKits, hay baskets and wood-saving stoves is to start next spring. Solar box cookers will be introduced and produced as well. After about three years, the project will be financially independent.
- November 2012: Solar Cooking Foundation in the Netherlands promotes the Integrated Cooking Method in Rural Ethiopia - The Solar Cooking Netherlands project to promote the Integrated Cooking Method included using the Cookit, heat retention baskets, solar box cookers, solar dryers and water pasteurization indicators (WAPI). In addition to these appliances, SCN further integrates and promotes energy efficient stoves including the Mirt and Tikikil stoves.

- November 2012: Partnership for Integrated Sustainable Development Association(PISDA) promotes solar cookers in Ethiopia – PISDA a non-government, local organization, has re-registered as Ethiopian Residents Charity Association. PISDA was initially established with the name Donkey for Development organization in May 27, 1999. PISDA is a member of the Consortium known as Christian Relief and Development Association. The organization was established by individuals who acknowledged the needs of female heads of households who support their children by collecting and selling firewood, cow-dung and grass/straw for small amounts in the market. It is believed that the current EU project will enable PISDA to promote the Integrated Sustainable Fuel Saving Stoves particularly the CooKit on a wider scale. To date, they have distributed 3,686 CooKit solar cookers, 2,139 Mirt and 1,540 Rocket Stoves, and 1,929 Hay baskets. Read more about Ethiopia Donkeys for Development.
- July 2012: Fikirte Regassa Beyene is working as representative for Solar Cooking Foundation the Netherlands (SCN) on HOAREC/N's team for the eu-energy-facility-project as Integrated Solar Cooking Project Officer in Addis Abeba. She is appointed since several months to ensure SCN's role as advisor and technical assistance in this project .
- Febuary 2012: The first National Project Steering Committee (NPSC) organised by HOAREC/N took place in Addis Ababa. The NPSC has the overall responsibility on quality control, development and - assurance related to the objectives of the European Union RET / EE project for Integrated Solar Cooking in Ethiopia in three areas. The target group is 10,000 households. Solar Cooking Foundation the Netherlands (SCN) is Associated Partner in this project and member of the NPSC.
- February 2012: The Horn of Africa Regional Environment Centre has posted a job listing for an experienced 'Integrated Solar Cooking Project Officer' to work on programs in Addis Ababa, Shoa, Ethiopia. MA/BA: in business management, environmental sciences, geography, environmental management or a related field is required. More Information...
- April 2011: Europastry is working with Sol Solidari to reduce poverty and desertification in Africa (English, español)
- March 2011: Big success of the sale of subsidized solar ovens in Lalibela,Ethiopia. The people in this area now have seen the cookers function, and understand the benefits of these solar ovens, that we began to offer to them on a subsidized basis in early 2011. (Read more)
- November 2011: At the beginning of this year, Horn of Africa Regional Environment Centre and Network (HoA-REC/N) invited Clara Thomas and Henk Crietee to provide training in various locations in Northern and Southern Ethiopia. Representatives of participating NGO's, mainly women, learned about the Integrated Cooking Method, public promotion, and project planning, as well as how to create a small production enterprise. Mesfin Kinfu, from HoA-REC/N, accompanied Clara and Henk and acted as translator and co-trainer. In October Clara and Henk attended a workshop in Ethiopia at the start of the large renewable energy project. Their contribution was important and highly appreciated by the participants.
- October 2011: A few years ago, Addis Ababa University consolidated all environmental activities in the Horn of Africa under the umbrella of one organisation. This included scientific institutions as well as private civil society organisations and led to the creation of HoA-REC/N. At present, more than 50 institutions and organisations from Ethiopia, Somalia, (Eritrea), Djibouti, Kenya and Sudan have become HoA-REC/N. members.Its principal objective is to stimulate and coordinate environmental activities "on the ground". Partnership programmes in the field of renewable energy play a central role. The European Union and the Netherlands Embassy. The Netherlands development organization SNV and the German organisation GIZ (German International Development) provide technical support. Solar Cooking Foundation The Netherlands, SCN provides support solely in the field of Integrated Sustainable Solar Cooking. At the end of this year, HoA-REC/N is moving to a new building in the Gullele Botanical Garden close to the centre of Addis Ababa. This building is part of a projected eco-village. This will simultaneously promote environmental
awareness among the public at large and a number of environmentally friendly technologies such as solar
energy, bioenergy and various energy-saving building techniques. A large project financed by the European Union focuses on the creation of a number of so-called Renewable Energy Technology Centres in Ethiopia. HoA-REC/N takes on the management and coordination of the centres. The NGOs involved in the project, take on the implementation. SCN provides technical assistance to the Project and some co-financing.
- October 2010:A new Integrated Sustainable Solar Cooking (ISSC) project in the Horn of Africa is coordinated by Horn of Africa Regional Environment Centre and Network (HoA-REC/N). They are part of Addis Ababa University's environment department and last year organised a very successful Integrated Cooking Method conference in which 24 NGOs from the Horn of Africa participated. One of the results of this conference is a new project now being developed in the Horn of Africa, in Ethiopia.
The Burayou technical school outlined an excellent project proposal with a budget of € 16,000. The Ethiopian NGO Agohelma, as a member of HoAREC/N, has concluded an agreement with the technical school to implement the project and to provide the funds as well. For many years now, the school in Burayou has been developing wood-saving cooking appliances, including a production line. It did not therefore come as a surprise that there was considerable enthusiasm for the
production of solar ovens and hay baskets. The project proposal has allocated the various responsibilities of the school, HoA-REC/N and NGO Agohelma as follows:
- HoA-REC/N is responsible for the coordination of the various Solar Cooking (ISSC) projects and the
exchange of technical expertise, as well as for the organisation of training programmes and funds;
- The NGO Agohelma is responsible for the provision of financial means, the ordering of production materials and the progress and final reports;
- Agohelma and the technical school will jointly arrange for the promotion and distribution of the newly produced solar and other cooking appliances in less-favoured urban districts of Addis Ababa and vicinity;
- The Burayou Technical School will act as entrepreneur for the time being and is responsible for the production and storage of cooking appliances. They will assist in the promotion of and information about the ISSC concept through the school's information centre. The school will handle the training of female ISSC instructors and be involved in the organisation of instruction programmes for end-users and customers.
- HoA-REC/N is responsible for the coordination of the various Solar Cooking (ISSC) projects and the
- Solar Cooking foundation the Netherlands SCN can organise on request training in all fields mentioned. Requests for financial support can be submitted to SCN for project proposals, including detailed budgets, in consultation with HoA-REC/N.
- December 2009: Our project began when a friend went to the area on an "eco-tourism" vacation. She saw that there were some real needs in the area outside of Addis Ababa related to cooking food. Ethiopians have to spend hours a day looking for cooking fuel or they have to sell a portion of their food to pay for fuel. Lung conditions and eye problems are rampant from cooking indoors. Jane Farley, David Robinson, and a few others are taking trips every 3 months to see if they'll use solar cookers and then teach them about solar cooking. Each time they go they plan to take Solar Cooking International's CooKit kits and will be teaching a graduating class at a trade school how to make them this March. So with a combination of CooKits and solar cookers made from materials found in country they are spreading the good news about solar cooking and its benefits. They left 5 cookers in January with 5 families and part of the goal for March is to see how the families are using them and see if any re-training will be required. It's just an example of how a small group of civic-minded people can affect positive change on the other side of the world.
- November 2009: Initial pioneering work by Ato Guillilat, executive director of Partnership for Integrated Sustainable Development Association, led in 2007 to a small-scale integrated solar cooking pilot project with Solar Cooking Netherlands (SCN) in villages around Debre Zeit. According to SCN Chairwoman Clara Thomas, initial results were promising. In 2008, plans were developed for a regional production and promotion center for integrated solar cooking and water pasteurization. The center, which opened in March 2009, includes space for training, assembly, sales, and cooking demonstrations. In the pilot project, approximately 1,500 households across four villages have adopted integrated solar cooking methods, maximizing their cooking fuel savings by using solar CooKits whenever possible, fuel-efficient stoves (based on a design by GTZ) when necessary, and retained heat devices to continue cooking after food is removed from either heat source. Janny Poley, first secretary for environment and water for the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Addis Ababa, was impressed by the project and introduced it to Horn of Africa Regional Environment Centre and Network (HOAREC/N) at Addis Ababa University. Under Poley's leadership, HOAREC/N held an integrated solar cooking workshop in March 2009. For more info...
- September 2009: The outcome of the conference in March is a large scale Integrated Cooking Method project in four countries of the Horn of Africa. It is a three-year plan in eight clusters: six in Ethiopia, one in Djibouti-Somalia and one in Sudan. Abiye Ashenafi of Horn of Africa Regional Environment Centre (HoArec) will manage the project and Solar Cooking Netherlands (SCN) is a cooperating partner, trainer and advisor. At this moment SCN's Jacomine Immink and Clara Thomas have designed manuals for instructors and end-users. They contain many visual materials for illiterate people. In cooperation with Wietske Jongbloed of KoZon, a comprehensive manual for the production of Cookits and Water Pasteurization Indicators (WAPIs) has been developed, as well as a construction manual[1]. The expectation is that the project will really start in 2010. Then 10,000 CooKits and WAPIs will be needed. The manuals will be translated into local languages.
- March 2009: In Ethiopia the pilot project of Partnership for Integrated Sustainable Development Association (PISDA) and Solar Cooking Netherlands has been very successful. So far 1500 households are using fuel-efficient wood stoves. At the monthly PISDA meetings, A new production- and training centre has been opened and has been visited by representatives of Horn of Africa Regional Environment Centre. The success of this project has inspired Janny Poley, the first secretary of the Embassy of the Netherlands. On her initiative, a working conference with a department of the University of Addis Ababa was held in March, 2009.
- January 2009: In Ethiopia Steve Harrigan of Solar Clutch made solar cookers with the Ethiopian and Somali people at the Agape Reading Center. The Somali people are already refugees in Ethiopia and in great financial need. Solar cooking is a free source of energy to that allows them to cook without having to use firewood. An Ethiopian couple also was excited to learn how to make solar cookers because they run an orphanage near the Somali boarder and have 30 little mouths to feed 3 times a day! We made cookers from the wheel chair boxes that had been donated to the handicap people of Ethiopia. A double use of the resources God has put at our disposal. If you would like to help provide solar cookers for this orphanage please contact Solar Clutch.
- November 2007: Solar Cooking Netherlands (SCN) has teamed up with Partnership for Integrated Sustainable Development Association (PISDA), a local non-governmental organization, to introduce solar cooking in four rural villages around Debre Zeit. PISDA has worked with female heads of households on a number of projects, such as tree planting, fuel-efficient wood stoves, and savings and credit associations. SCN's Clara Thomas, along with PISDA's Ato Guillilat, left early mornings on a two-wheeled horse wagon to visit the four rural villages. They first introduced solar cookers to village elders, and then spent a week training a group of solar cooking instructors. A year-long initial program was agreed upon to ensure continued follow up in the form of monthly collective solar cooking meetings to share experiences and advice. The project will likely expand next year. A local solar fabricator in Addis Ababa — Bereket Solar — will produce CooKit solar cookers by hand for the project. Towards the end of 2007 he will transfer his experience and knowledge to the women in rural areas so that they can make their own CooKits. Injera, a pancake-like bread, is a local staple that cannot be cooked with simple solar cookers. (It requires a 60-centimeter diameter pan and baking temperature of at least 220°C.) A research program is underway to find a solar method for baking injera. The present cooking culture does not permit introducing collective solar injera baking through a large bakery or otherwise. In the meantime, injera will continue to be baked three times per week on a fuel-efficient wood stove.
- January 2007: EG-Solar reports that in the spring of 2006 it asked its supporters to donate money to pay for materials to build 150 parabolic solar cookers for poor Ethiopians. The children of these lucky families now do not have collect firewood and can attend school. EG-Solar is accepting donations to bring cookers to more families in Ethiopia this year.
The History of Solar Cooking in Ethiopia
Ethiopia has much to show in terms of work with solar cookers. Two activities stand out, and will be discussed initially. The first is a long lasting, though now ended, program in a refugee camp located near the border with Somalia and Djibouti, in a place known as the Aisha refugee camp.
The solar cooking work in Aisha was initiated at the request of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, through a staff member named Christopher Talbot who had seen the project in Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya. At that particular time, the UNHCR was being severely criticized for the massive destruction of forests caused by refugees from the southern Africa civil wars in Mozambique and Angola. A UN "pledging" meeting had been held for the purpose of raising millions of dollars to restore terrain ravaged by refugees in camps run by UNHCR in that part of Africa. Funds were in fact given for additional refugee work, of course, but with the strong admonition to UNHCR and its allied organizations and governments to take great care to see that damage to the environs of camps from uncontrolled collecting of firewood by refugees be strictly curtailed. UNHCR was thus urgently seeking solutions. Seeing the solar cooking project in Kakuma led them to undertake an experimental program in a small camp in an isolated corner of Ethiopia.
The camp's inhabitants are almost entirely refugees from nearby Somalia; the camp is located near enough to the border that it was even possible for refugees to make visits to their former homes from time to time. The area was one with limited forest cover even at the time the camp was established, and soon the landscape was nearly desolate. Refugees who at first could make a fuel gathering trip and back in a/day soon had to change to a pattern of using draft animals to go longer distances requiring two or three day trips. Fuel gathering thus ceased to be one in which women and children gathered wood nearby to one in which commercial arrangements were made by entrepreneurs who hired woodcutters and draft animals, then sold the wood to refugees. The difference was immaterial to the environment, of course, which suffered substantially from both practices.
Aisha was not large, as refugee camps go. It housed around 2,000 households and between 14,000-15,000 individuals. The site itself was far from Addis Ababa, both difficult and time consuming to reach. But the site also offered a place where need was great, where sunshine was abundant, where the population was relatively stable (for a refugee camp), and where careful and detailed evaluation would be possible. A baseline study of fuelwood use was done for later comparison, and the project began in 1998.
The project in Aisha continued until 2002, by which time all refugees who were interested had been supplied with cookers and trained in cooker usage. Refugee women and men were trained to be the trainers of others and an Ethiopian coordinator oversaw the project for SCI. Before formally closing the work as an SCI sponsored project, a final evaluation of the project was undertaken by an Ethiopian social scientist, with noteworthy results. About 95% of all householders in the camp used solar cookers, at least part of the time. Spending for fuel declined by 42% from pre-project days.
Refugees spend substantially less time gathering wood, allowing children to attend school and women to engage in community and income generating activity. Additional details of the project's operation, management, and outcomes are provided for the reader in the case study on this project. Aisha Solar Cooking Project
Climate, Culture, and Special Considerations
Solar Cookers International has rated Ethiopia as the #4 country in the world in terms of solar cooking potential (See: The 25 countries with the most solar cooking potential). The estimated number of people in Ethiopia with fuel scarcity but ample sun in 2020 is 24,200,000.
Climate makes a big difference in how much value is derived from solar cookers. All of Ethiopia is close enough to the equator to get plenty of solar power whenever the sun is shining (not counting the first hour or so after sunrise and before sunset). To get more good use from solar cookers, one wants not only ample hours of sunshine during daylight, but predictable sunshine--reducing the guess work about whether one's food will cook with solar power today or not. With the lower cost cookers made of cardboard, surprise rain can also damage the cookers severely.
In one of our field projects--in Kakuma, in northwestern Kenya--our field staff kept track of the weather on a daily basis for years and figured there were about 200 sunny days good for solar cooking in that climate. People could reduce their use of combustible fuels by 40% or more annually with that number of sunny days, and the people who learned solar cooking were grateful. They were using the low power, cardboard CooKit type cookers.
Twelve months of sunshine is not a necessary condition for successful solar cooking. But clearly, 300 sunny days per year will enable more fuel savings than 200, and 200 will be better than 120. How does one decide whether the local climate is sunny enough? From an economic point of view, it would depend on the cost of the cookers over their lifetime compared to the amount of fuel they would save over their life time and the price of that fuel. So one can afford to pay more for cooker A compared to cooker B if cooker A lasts sufficiently longer or if it saves more fuel. Also, one can pay more for cookers and still save money on fuel costs in places where fuel prices are higher.
The question becomes very local. How much sun do I get, at what time of the day, when do I cook, how many people do I cook for at once, how much does cooking fuel cost?
As far as I know, there is no definitive science that tells us the cost/benefit ratios for the many different variations on solar cookers that exist today, nor can it be said that cooker X is definitely best for this climate or that economic niche. A process of discovery is gradually unfolding. Making choices for your project will not be fool-proof, but familiarity with local conditions, habits and attitudes coupled with reasoning and gathering feedback from a variety of sources should help. Also, it would be great to talk to the people who will be doing the cooking to find out how they feel about switching to a new system and what sort of system they would want.
When one thinks of cooking in Ethiopia, one thinks immediately of njera bread, which must be cooked with fairly high heat. If the ethnic groups you work with are not eating an njera-based diet, then you probably don't have a problem--but if njera is a staple, then you will need to be sure that your cooking system can handle it. Open "panel cookers" like SCI's CooKit are not njera-friendly, and neither are the simpler, home-made box cookers. Parabolic cookers should be able to cook njera. I would think the Scheffler reflector system would have no problem making njera bread, but I think I would double check with the designers and be sure to include temperatures suitable for njera when you discuss your specifications for what you want. The type of fluid (and its particular boiling point) that circulates carrying heat in a Scheffler system could make an important difference in the maximum cooking temperatures you could get, and therefore those desired temperatures would be something to discuss with designers of Scheffler type systems.

Cocaine is an illegal stimulant drug that affects your central nervous system. It is derived from the Erythroxylum coca plant, which is found in abundance in Central America, South America, the West Indies, and Indonesia. It produces a sense of extreme joy by causing the brain to release higher than normal amounts of some biochemicals. However, cocaine's effects on other parts of the body can be very serious, or even deadly.

Images via SOLO Eyewear
Since 2011, approximately 2,400 people in need across the globe have had their vision restored. Another feat by UNICEF, you ask? Nope – it was by way of SOLO Eyewear, and their utterly chic bamboo sunglasses.
While eye care is so easy to take for granted (I can't imagine getting through the day-to-day without my own glasses), it turns out that nearly one billion people around the world are without access to it. An even more staggering statistic? About 80% of the world's blindness is preventable.
The brainchild of San Diego State University classmates (and now alums) Jenny Amaraneni, Craig Stern, and Dana Holliday, SOLO Eyewear's model is simple: With each purchase of a pair of SOLO sunglasses, eye care (be it surgery or prescription glasses) is provided for two people in need. Working in part with L V Prasad Eye Institute, Aravind Eye Care System, and Restoring Vision, SOLO was able to fund 150 cataract surgeries and 2,250 pairs of reading glasses in just a year and a half – all through the sale of their sunglasses.
The sunglasses are, hands down, so cool. I'm equal parts obsessed with the Bamblues and pretty much every style from their RAW Artists Competition (they're available on pre-order now, for $150).
The long and short of it? Get out there and spread the word about SOLO Eyewear (after you snag your own pair of shades, that is).

ASHBURN, Va. (WUSA) -- It's surprising Fred Davis hasn't earned the nickname "Stock Exchange." Now in his sixth season with the franchise, perhaps no player on the roster has endured a more tumultuous tenure than the Redskins tight end.
Davis was suspended for marijuana in 2011 and has dealt with a publicly open trial in which he was accused of throwing a drink on a woman. Recently he was ordered to pay that woman $20,000 in damages.
As troubling as his off the field incidents have been, Davis is now finding himself in an even bigger battle: staying on the football field and off the bench.
In the Redskins first two games it's been clear that Mike Shanahan and company have favored rookie tight end Jordan Reed over Davis. Reed has eight catches on nine targets and saw 29 snaps against Green Bay. Davis has three catches on six targets and saw the field on only 16 snaps against the Packers.
Multiple attempts to try and get a two minute interview with Davis on Wednesday were blocked by the Redskins. The tight end put his situation on blast Tuesday on the Lavar and Dukes show on 106.7 The Fan. Arrington asked Davis if he's being phased out of the offense.
"Shoot, man, I feel like personally I did everything I was supposed to do for it not to be [this] way. I came off of injury, went through the whole training camp -- didn't ask for [any] days off -- played every preseason game. You know, did every thing I was supposed to do."
Davis continued: "They got us all mixed in a rotation right now. It's like everyone getting playing time. Right now I don't feel like I'm getting enough as I want to." And later added: "I can only do what I can control."
He can be sneaky with his answers, but Mike Shanahan was pretty direct in his Wednesday press conference on why the team prefers Jordan Reed over Davis at the moment.
"Most of the decisions we make are based on how people practice and what gives us the best opportunity to win," said the Redskins head coach.
The soft spoken Reed had this to add about his increased playing time: "I run pretty good routes...here they are going to use you to the best of your abilities. So they use me on routes and things." Reed later added: "Fred is still starting."
Let's remember that last season before his gruesome Achilles injury against the Giants, Davis was Robert Griffin's leading pass catcher, a dynamic option over the middle of the field and was arguably having his best season. Let's also remember this: Davis is now 27-years-old, and in a contract season. It's quite possible the Redskins may be limiting his reps on the field to low-ball him an offer as a backup. Or if Davis was receiving the reps Reed has been getting -- and scoring touchdowns -- the Redskins may have no choice but to pay the free agent. If they value Reed just as highly as Davis, he comes as a much cheaper solution. Let's also remember Shanahan selected Reed, while Davis is part of the final leftover batch of Vinny Cerrato draft picks.
Ultimately, the best passing teams in the league possess multiple weapons from the tight end spot. One could argue the Patriots revolutionized the position with Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. Two athletic tight ends together on the field can work in the NFL. Even though it's early in the season, it seems as if Shanahan has put Davis in his doghouse and there's no telling if and when he will get out.
As the course of this make or break season drags on for Fred Davis, we'll find out a ton about how the organization views him. Are mental mistakes like drops and poor route running keeping him off the field? Or are the Shanahan's just ready to pass the torch to Jordan Reed, a guy some believe may have pro bowl talent.

each individual thread stack, but small enough to keep the
stack of some threads from running into the global
mysqld data. Unfortunately, as we have
experimentally discovered, the Linux implementation of
mmap() successfully unmaps a mapped region
if you ask it to map out an address currently in use, zeroing
out the data on the entire page instead of returning an error.
So, the safety of mysqld or any other
threaded application depends on the "gentlemanly"
behavior of the code that creates threads. The user must take
measures to make sure that the number of running threads at
any given time is sufficiently low for thread stacks to stay
away from the global heap. With mysqld, you
should enforce this behavior by setting a reasonable value for
max_connections variable.
If you build MySQL yourself, you can patch LinuxThreads for
better stack use. See Section 3.3, "Linux Source Distribution Notes". If
you do not want to patch LinuxThreads, you should set
max_connections to a value no
higher than 500. It should be even less if you have a large
key buffer, large heap tables, or some other things that make
mysqld allocate a lot of memory, or if you
are running a 2.2 kernel with a 2GB patch. If you are using
our binary or RPM version, you can safely set
max_connections at 1500,
assuming no large key buffer or heap tables with lots of data.
The more you reduce
STACK_SIZE in
LinuxThreads the more threads you can safely create. Values
between 128KB and 256KB are recommended.
If you use a lot of concurrent connections, you may suffer from a "feature" in the 2.2 kernel that attempts to prevent fork bomb attacks by penalizing a process for forking or cloning a child. This causes MySQL not to scale well as you increase the number of concurrent clients. On single-CPU systems, we have seen this manifest as very slow thread creation; it may take a long time to connect to MySQL (as long as one minute), and it may take just as long to shut it down. On multiple-CPU systems, we have observed a gradual drop in query speed as the number of clients increases. In the process of trying to find a solution, we have received a kernel patch from one of our users who claimed it helped for his site. This patch is available at http://dev.mysql.com/Downloads/Patches/linux-fork.patch. We have done rather extensive testing of this patch on both development and production systems. It has significantly improved MySQL performance without causing any problems and is recommended for users who still run high-load servers on 2.2 kernels.
This issue has been fixed in the 2.4 kernel, so if you are not satisfied with the current performance of your system, rather than patching your 2.2 kernel, it might be easier to upgrade to 2.4. On SMP systems, upgrading also gives you a nice SMP boost in addition to fixing the fairness bug.
We have tested MySQL on the 2.4 kernel on a two-CPU machine and found MySQL scales much better. There was virtually no slowdown on query throughput all the way up to 1,000 clients, and the MySQL scaling factor (computed as the ratio of maximum throughput to the throughput for one client) was 180%. We have observed similar results on a four-CPU system: Virtually no slowdown as the number of clients was increased up to 1,000, and a 300% scaling factor. Based on these results, for a high-load SMP server using a 2.2 kernel, it is definitely recommended to upgrade to the 2.4 kernel at this point.
We have discovered that it is essential to run the
mysqld process with the highest possible
priority on the 2.4 kernel to achieve maximum performance.
This can be done by adding a
renice -20 $$
command to mysqld_safe. In our testing on a
four-CPU machine, increasing the priority resulted in a 60%
throughput increase with 400 clients.
If you see a dead mysqld server process with ps, this usually means that you have found a bug in MySQL or you have a corrupted table. See What to Do If MySQL Keeps Crashing.
To get a core dump on Linux if mysqld dies
with a
SIGSEGV signal, you can start
mysqld with the
--core-file option. Note that
you also probably need to raise the core file size by adding
ulimit -c 1000000 to
mysqld_safe or starting
mysqld_safe with
See mysqld_safe — MySQL Server Startup Script.

"(i) the contract itself; or
"(ii) a ruling letter by the Coast Guard before July 29, 1987 under 46 C.F.R. § 67.21–1 or § 67.27–3 pursuant to a ruling request evidencing that intent; or
"(B) is purchased for use as a fish processing vessel under a contract entered into after July 27, 1987, if—
"(i) a contract to rebuild the vessel for use as a fish processing vessel was entered into before September 1, 1987; and
"(ii) that vessel is part of a specific business plan involving the conversion in foreign shipyards of a series of three vessels and rebuilding work on at least one of the vessels had begun before July 28, 1987.
"(b) A vessel rebuilt under subsection (a)(3)(B) or (4) of this section must be redelivered to the owner before July 28, 1990. However, the Secretary may, on proof of circumstances beyond the control of the owner of a vessel affected by this section, extend the period for rebuilding in a foreign country permitted by this section.
"(c)(1) Any fishery license or registry issued to a vessel built in a foreign country under this section shall be endorsed to restrict the vessel from catching, taking, or harvesting.
"(2) Before being issued a fishery license, any vessel described in subsection (a)(2) of this section must be documented under an application for documentation acceptable to the Secretary filed before July 28, 1987, except that an alternative vessel of no greater tonnage than the vessel in the application may be substituted, if that substitution is made by the original applicant."

Is this site 100% free?
Yes, if Stache Passions is the primary site you join within Passions Network, then you will have 100% free access to all features within Stache Passions.
How does Stache Passions differ from other online dating sites?
Stache Passions is part of the Passions Network niche dating social network. The focus of the sites within Passions Network is to help people meet others who share similar interests, and unlike most dating sites, individual sites within Passions Network do not cost anything. Upon joining Stache Passions, you become a member of the Passions Network network of sites, with the option to add other Passions Network sites into your account if you choose*. Please note that you will only appear on the site(s) in the network that you add into your account. This approach lets people create their own personal social network of dating sites, customized specifically to their particular interests (or passions) in life. *Adding additonal sites into your account can only take place by upgrading to a 'Network Wide Membership'.
Is Passions Network only for people looking to date?
While dating is a focus within Passions Network, it is open to anyone looking to meet others who share similar 'passions'. If you have a passion for yoga, join the Yoga Passions site to find a yoga partner. If you love movies, join the Movies Passions site to find others who share your passion for film. While shared interests can lead to dating when both parties are interested, it is not the sole focus of Passions Network.
How much does it cost to join?
There is no cost to join any specific site within Passions Network. Please note that you are limited to a single site within the network unless you choose to upgrade to 'Network Wide Access', which would allow you to add as many of the other 240+ sites within the network as you would like.
After joining, I was given the option to expand my membership by joining other sites within Passions Network. Are there any costs in doing that?
There are costs to add additional sites into your account.
Should I join more than one site within Passions Network?
We would encourage you to consider upgrading to 'Network Wide Access', which will allow you to add any sites that match your interests. Passions Network is a network of individual sites, each with a focus on a specific interest (or Passion), or on a specific geographic region. For example, if you have a passion for yoga, and for reading, and you are a republican vegetarian, you could choose to make your profile available on each of the Passions sites focused on those interests.

Jim Carrey
Birth Name: Jim Carrey
Born: 01/17/1962
Birth Place: Toronto, Ontario, CA
Born: 01/17/1962
Birth Place: Toronto, Ontario, CA
Jim Carrey was born on Jan. 17, 1962, in Newmarket, Ontario. He was the youngest of four children to mother, Kathleen, and father, Percy; both performers themselves. Prior to starting a family, Percy was a saxophonist with a Toronto big band and his mother had been a singer, but when the couple settled down, Percy sought financial stability by landing a job as an accountant with a large company. From a young age, it was apparent that Carrey took after his father, then the notorious comedian of the family. Around the age of seven, while trying to cheer up his sick, bedridden mother, Carrey discovered the power of pratfalls and his wacky impersonations of animals. This led to a lifelong affair...

25 U.S. Code § 3651 - Findings
prev | next
The Congress finds and declares that—
(2) Indian tribes are sovereign entities and are responsible for exercising governmental authority over Indian lands;
(3) the rate of violent crime committed in Indian country is approximately twice the rate of violent crime committed in the United States as a whole;
(4) in any community, a high rate of violent crime is a major obstacle to investment, job creation and economic growth;
(5) tribal justice systems are an essential part of tribal governments and serve as important forums for ensuring the health and safety and the political integrity of tribal governments;
(6) Congress and the Federal courts have repeatedly recognized tribal justice systems as the most appropriate forums for the adjudication of disputes affecting personal and property rights on Native lands;
(7) enhancing tribal court systems and improving access to those systems serves the dual Federal goals of tribal political self-determination and economic self-sufficiency;
(8) there is both inadequate funding and an inadequate coordinating mechanism to meet the technical and legal assistance needs of tribal justice systems and this lack of adequate technical and legal assistance funding impairs their operation;
(9) tribal court membership organizations have served a critical role in providing training and technical assistance for development and enhancement of tribal justice systems;
(10) Indian legal services programs, as funded partially through the Legal Services Corporation, have an established record of providing cost effective legal assistance to Indian people in tribal court forums, and also contribute significantly to the development of tribal courts and tribal jurisprudence; and

Unnamed Changelings
this wiki
This is a list of unnamed Changelings.
Earthbound Changelings
An unknown number of Changelings infiltrated the population of Earth in 2372.
A Changeling was hidden at the room where the Antwerp Conference was taking place, and was believed to be responsible for the bombing of the conference. It was determined by Starfleet that this Changeling had most likely survived the attack.
Another Changeling, imitating Admiral Leyton, was exposed by Odo. When they met the Changeling, Leyton was rude to Odo and kept commenting on Odo's ability to assume different shapes. Odo, sensing something was wrong, extended his hand to shake with Leyton; when he refused, Odo grabbed him, and they linked, exposing the Changeling. (DS9: "Homefront")
Shortly after this encounter, another Changeling, or possibly the same, startled Benjamin Sisko when he appeared to him in Miles O'Brien's form, explaining to him their strategy of creating distrust among Humans and claiming that only four Changelings were at the time operating on Earth. He told him that if a few Changelings could cause so much panic, think what an invasion would do. (DS9: "Paradise Lost")
The Hundred
- See also: Hundred Changelings
One hundred infant Changelings were sent by the Founders throughout the galaxy. They were to learn as much as they could about that culture and return back to teach the Great Link what they knew. They were not expected to return until the 27th century. (DS9: "The Search, Part II") Odo and Laas were two of the Hundred. (DS9: "Chimera")
Infant Changeling
A dying infant Changeling was found by Quark and sold to the Human Odo in 2373. When Dr. Bashir was able to save it, it was cared for and investigated by Odo, who saw it as an opportunity to reconnect with his people.
He attempted to teach it to shape shift using basic encouragement, rather than the more painful electric jolts that had been used on him, but his initial attempts failed. When Dr. Mora, who had raised Odo, arrived on the station, Odo was not pleased. He was still resentful of the invasive procedures Mora had used on him. They immediately clashed over the raising of the infant, but, as Odo was making little progress with the infant, and Starfleet was threatening to take the infant, Odo accepted Mora's help. Both of them bonded as the Changeling began to take shape, realizing the advantages in the other's methods; it only began to shape-shift because of Mora's electric shock methods, but because Odo had made an effort to talk to it, it showed an interest in him, forming a face with eyes to peer at him.
However, it became sick again, and, despite the efforts of Doctor Bashir, it eventually died. However, as thanks for what Odo had tried to do for it, the Changeling merged into Odo, causing him to regain his shapeshifting abilities. (DS9: "The Begotten")
Changeling Trio
A trio of unnamed Changelings, consisting of a male and two females, were, alongside the Female Changeling, the first Changelings to meet Odo upon his return to the Founders' homeworld in 2371. The Male Changeling initially thought that Odo was not ready to experience the Great Link. (DS9: "The Search, Part II")
Dying Changeling
This Changeling was aboard a Jem'Hadar warship. The warship was discovered by a crew led by Captain Sisko that was conducting a mineral survey of Torga IV, an uninhabited planet in the Gamma Quadrant.
The changeling disguised itself as a bulkhead inside the ship while a battle took place between the Federation crew and the the surviving Jem'Hadar soldiers.
No longer able to hold its form and injured from the accident, it dies. The Jem'Hadar soldiers killed themselves after the changeling died. (DS9: "The Ship")

Rainfall from Tropical Depression Beryl has helped erase drought conditions in Eastern Carolina. In fact, for the first time in two years there is no drought in the state.
The rain last week eliminated the lingering moderate drought here in the East. Still, there are 36 central and southeastern counties with abnormally dry conditions.
But experts warn that conditions can quickly worsen because the state's hot summer months can bring about higher rates of evaporation.

Folks in New Bern Friday were filling up at a Shell station where the price of gas has gone up several cents this week, like other stations. And its not just New Bern. Residents in surrounding communities have been vocal on social media about the price increase.
According to gasbuddy.com, the average price of gasoline is $3.49. We saw it as high as $3.59 in Greenville.
