Ethiopia Launched Grand Millennium Dam Project, the Biggest in Africa
Ethiopia lays foundation for Africa's biggest dam
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (WIC) – Construction of the Millennium Hydropower plant, the biggest hydropower plant in Africa yet, officially launched today in Benishangul Gumuz regional state in Ethiopia.
Video: Grand Millennium Dam – Ethiopia Launches the Biggest Hydroelectric Project in Africa
Grand Millennium Dam
The power plant, expected to generate around 5,250 megawatt (MW), is named the 'Grand Millennium Dam'.
The dam, which will be constructed on Nile River some 40Km from the Sudanese boarder, is expected to be completed in four years time.
The Grand Millennium Dam will be the largest artificial lake with a capacity of holding 63 billion cubic meter of water, twice the size of the largest natural lake in the country – Lake Tana.
During the cornerstone laying ceremony, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said that the country will be faced with the massive task of financing the project, which is projected to be around 80 billion birr.
Meles said that the dam also benefit Sudan and Egypt by preventing flooding and providing for irrigation land.
"On the basis of benefit from the project, Sudan and Egypt should cover 30 and 20 percent of the cost, respectively," Meles said. "However, due to absence of fairness in the system, Ethiopia is the only country bearing the costs".
As part of financing the project, a government bond dubbed "Millennium Bond" with a five percent interest rate is ready to be sold to the public, according to the Prime Minister.
Premier Meles called upon farmers, urban dwellers, investors and Ethiopians abroad to participate in the grand project by purchasing this bond.
Salini Construction, which is currently undertaking the construction of Gibe III Hydropower plant, will undertake the construction of the the Grand Millennium Dam. This is the same company that built Gibe I, Gibe II and Tana Beles hydropower plants.
On the occasion the official launching ceremony, high government officials including Mehiret Debebe, CEO of Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCo) and Alemayehu Tegenu, Minister of Water and Energy, were in attendance.

The HOPE The STRUGGLE and The HARD WORK towards a goal is part of the rewards. Achieving goal itself is not the whole reward……. BEST WISHES for abay! from Hawassa University student
April 4, 2011 at 11:27 am
this is the ,just the beginning of Ethiopian Renaissance, dear Egyptian brothers and sisters, this is not a "win, lose" game that my country follow be sure that we will never plan to starve Egyptians but we always work for the common good of the Nile basin countries. God BLESS ETHIOPIA!!!!!
April 5, 2011 at 6:39 am
go forward with your plans pm meles zenawi. the whole nation is with you. this is the moment of action we all have been waiting for. if Egypt or any other country make a fuss about it, i will be the first one to set a foot on the battle field.Story has it, let alone in the 21st century, we have all conquered all threats that have been targeted to our national interests in the historic years. Egypt and Sudan, if you can't swallow this bare fact, T-R-Y it. you will taste the bitter taste of Ethiopianism. Beacause as pm meles says " Egypt will not win a war with Ethiopia. since nobody who has tried it has lived to tell the story". It's a meaningful war for all Ethiopians and a meaningless one for any other country. GO ETHIOPIA!!!
April 5, 2011 at 7:40 am
we will build"ABAY MADERA ….IS NOW OVE. I AM CONTRIBUTING …
April 5, 2011 at 10:40 am
the story is disgusting and shows how your so called Zenawy who unfortunately has an ARABIC name is fooling your blessed Ethiopianistic nation into war with its closest historical neighbours.
If u are thinking that Arabs will let u go ahead with your plans to deprive 140 million Egyptians and Sudaneese of the water that God almighty has given them for good, just dream on, and against your will, we will not fight a war against Ethiopians who are supposedly good people, but Egypt will destroy this dam once it is finished, u woulld have wasted all your money for nothing, Egypt backed by Saudi Arabia and Gulf cournties will finance this operation, do not let this man take u to war, he is working for Israel and the west's foreign agenda, we never wanted it to come to this, but if u want it you will get it.
April 5, 2011 at 11:29 am
Great Work. God's promise to the land is starting put in place. It is known to those of us who believe on Jesus Christ, the country blessing is coming. Thanks Jesus for your trustful promise.
April 5, 2011 at 11:30 am
God bless Ethiopia.
April 5, 2011 at 11:39 am
This is a good move from Ethiopia,we waited to long for this kind of project its time to use our own resources.no more huger.its time to make the step forward we need to develop our country feed out poor ppl.know Ethiopia is taking a good step going into a good direction,we are not scared of nobody,,,,,Egypt and Sudan they must face the fact there is no way for us to go back ..you don't need to mess with Ethiopia.
April 5, 2011 at 2:33 pm
this is the time of africans,ethiopians.we proud of the dam.having contributing to the construction,we fight psychological colonialism.
April 5, 2011 at 6:26 pm
I have never been happy as i am happy with this wonderful move of my government. If a lighting candle shares its light with another candle, the room gets more brighter and brighter and every one in the room will be beneficiary because nothing is in the dark.dear our beloved Ethiopian neighbours,you have been harvesting the most out of Abay,if we share Abay it makes the future of both of us more brighter as the candles did. Our intention is not to benefit our selves on the expense of you, it is rather' lets all make use of abay' thing.Abay is the property of every earthly guy- for it is a gift from nature.so we ethiopians have a right to use for we are against nothing.any one in our neighbours who is against this, needs some sort of brush up with in himself- because he is against justice, democracy, alturism above all nature.what kind of person is that who eat 3 bread all to himself without sharing to his brother who prepared but not have even eighth of a it.can any one think of Abay without ethiopia existence-no one can do that. We ethiopians aint against any earthly or heavenly law in launching this project. Success to this splendid project.thumps up! Silamlak from Mekelle universty

Dear Wael Hasan,
Go a head with your bombing and we will make sure that ASWAN is also be bombed.Dont forget we have fighter jets,missiles…
April 6, 2011 at 8:26 am
"The God almighty that has given to Egypt" the wrong ideology Egyptian have ever, now is the twenty first century and no body is foolish about it, Abay is our own resource and we can do what ever activities on it; we know Egyptians are backed by Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries; this is clear for any body as you are not acknowledging of your identity even, and it is not our concern what ever u are, the great lord is with us, we have our own history and that is expressive; go and ask our history; we will not fight a war against you Egyptians, think of the large, we are doing for the common wealth of these countries
April 6, 2011 at 8:35 am
i think all of our dreams are becoming true…the Egyptians should understand everything because this water belongs to nature to be used by all countries around it………so u Egyptians shouldn't deny this natural law. we have the money we have the power that is why we are going to build this dam even with out foreign aid. we will build great dams which are useful for Ethiopia as well as all others including Egypt. no more domination among countries ….understand it please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pm meles zenawi …we love from the bottom of our heart because you are starting to listen the the heart beat of your people! thank u Mr meles.
April 6, 2011 at 12:33 pm
Yes! YEABAYIN LIJ WHA AYITEMAWUM!
April 6, 2011 at 1:16 pm
Bravo Our Pm Meles Zenawi! Am sure that your plan will be real. We need to agree that nothing should terrify Ethiopian, Egyptian and Sudanese. We all begin to use the resource together. If Egyptians fail to understand this, they will forcing us to use the river more than expected but we are not selfish. Imagine how many of the Ethiopian are suffering from the shortage of hydroelectric power, the river was laughing at the Ethiopian people, but this will be history, onwards from now, every individual involve to make the plan to be real.
April 6, 2011 at 1:30 pm
It high time to have common vision…think big…start now…every citizen and lover of Ethiopian need to stand beside this big vision that seems beyond imagination…Be optimist everyone please
April 6, 2011 at 9:29 pm
Dear our Ethiopian friends, this dam will lead to a war between our country (Egypt) and your country. There is no doubt that our relations is very stong since the start of our civilization, and our Moslem people cannot forget your King Nagashy, and his vital role for spreading Islam all over the world. Please try to think again about this dam, and we can strength our relations in another way
April 7, 2011 at 4:33 am
poor Egypt poor Ethiopia
just the same problems (corrupted media):
ethiopian think that egypt is working on the ground "same as Israel" aiming to stop the development in ethiopia<<>>egyptians think that ethiopia is working with "israel" aiming to kill egyptians preventing them from water
(corrupted politicians):
ethiopian politicians want to show themselves as a heros fighting for ethiopia just to make people admire them<<>>egyptian politicians want to show themselves as a heros fighting for egypt just to make people admire them
(poor emotional people) :
who believe any kind of words without even trying to search if that words are true
the ending results = DISASTER
April 7, 2011 at 7:30 am
we need to our ethiopia growth so we have a capacity and ability to do work in aby river so we do not need other cantre interfer work togather is abtter thing rather than conflict so acontry r espect the other other wise all ethiopia people is worker and soldjer for ther owen cantery we are not afrade egyptan if they want to inter the war we have a grate prim minster we love him vary much he is tell as what to do bravo melas zanawe .
April 7, 2011 at 11:24 am
Yow Wael Hasan the story you are hearing is awesome, but you missed some point about my PM (Melees Zenawi), he is the representative of the people of Ethiopian nation and nationalities with our own election not like that of yours the so called King Hosni Mubarak, multi milliner, who had been sucking your pocket for all of this years filling your brain bad about Nile Dam making you forget your blood clot. And if you are talking about war, may be you refer some written historical document and you will find Ethiopian warriors what they have done, it was a miracle and it will be. But you choose to destroy the dam we built by our great people, do you think we`ll stand and wait to see our damp destroyed; rather you will be lost in a dust by your pyramid and Aswan. We`ll be waiting irritated for that day. Think like your brothers, the benefit is for all of as!!!!!
April 7, 2011 at 6:35 pm
this is the time for Ethiopia we mus contribute for the construction of the Damp as Mach as possible.
April 7, 2011 at 7:06 pm
oh it is so an interested idea that exhibit all Ethiopian are stand together to change our countries face.i am very glad when i hear that Ethiopia launched the millenium dam.this shows that the started development and transformation is carry on in different direction to develop Ethiopia. i would like to say please all Ethiopian's people let us cooperate on this work,i think we (population of ethiopia) are 70 millions so to built this dam let as paid as we can.GOD BLESS ETHIOPIA.
April 8, 2011 at 4:21 am
Mr. Wael,
Your comment shows us very briefly about your personal stupidity!!!!!! You might have inherited this " Over Act" character from your grand fathers, but it is nothing for us and it is automatically senseless!!!!!!! You don't have to forget at all about Ethiopians' history too.
First of all we need to complete the project and then we'll see whose dams will be destroyed and whose dams will be safe.
April 8, 2011 at 7:40 am
April 8, 2011 at 8:49 am
Viva…………..Viva PM Meles Zenawi…..We have been waiting for this historic day for scores of years……Our Dream will become true….This is the Best Decision Made by the Incumbent goverment………Go ahead….we are on your side………….We are dying of Starvation for Development….No one can stop us Now Because we are capable to do it with our people……………Now we can win every people who are ploting against our common dream……….Thank U our Goverment
April 8, 2011 at 10:34 am
I am an Egyptian of the 21st century, the new generation. and i believe that Ethiopians has the right to constract their dam and we can do the same. The constraction of the dam will not affect our interest.
We dont want our new government to cheat on us like Hossni by telling us a distractive and irrational history of our monopoly over the Nile river
April 8, 2011 at 11:31 am
egyptian men u need to know only one thing that u know and believe there is life after death.having this in mind,unless u work for fairness,truth and selfishlessness,how could u enjoy the Eternal Salvation and life?anyways for ethiopian if u believe in the word of GOD that's ok we shall work together for common benefit.ifnot all extracosts are to be born by ur own[egyptians].i remind u to think before making every fucking move.any attempt to use force,it is u the first losser.
April 8, 2011 at 11:52 am
This is time to share all natural resources equall.We Ethiopians are not people who do not think for others.
April 8, 2011 at 11:59 am
god bless ethiopia
April 8, 2011 at 12:01 pm
any one who like to hinder this project will get knocked.
April 8, 2011 at 1:08 pm
Dear Wael Hassen/people of Egypt (Specially the youth),
Don't confuse yourself with the wrong story that has been fed to all Egyptian brothers since childhood like 'Nile is a God's gift to Egypt'. It is very clear for any normal person as to who is the owner of Nile but we believe in "Win-Win' which our holly bible taught us and our PM also believe in. BTW DON'T TOUCH OUR PM EVER SINCE HE IS AMONG THE VERY RESPECTED AND GENIUS PERSON WHO BELIEVE IN PEACE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENET.
But I have a message for the revolutionist young Egyptians. Don't try to fool yourself in trying to threatening us by war or destructing…. The consequence is very bad for both of us but the worst will be for you Egyptians. Thus, please preach your people to change their mindset to win-win than win-lose like your current and fore leaders used to propagate/think. I know you can do this since you recognize well what the 21st century world demands i.e. WIN-WIN
April 8, 2011 at 5:27 pm
The pleasure I got when hearing the start of construction of the Millennuim Dam could not be quantified at all! It is realy one of the most interesting part of my life time. I was brought up & still living at the source of Abay River and got the chance of seeing when the bridge was built connecting Bahir Dar to Gonder and at the same time when the Hydroelectric power was built at Tis Abay and then when the Hidassie bridge was built replacing the old rainbow bridge that connects Debre Markos to Addis Abeba. I was very lucky!!!
April 9, 2011 at 6:47 am
Finally Ethiopia is ready to put Abay to action. We own Abay at its source but we have been suffering drought acut due to shortage of water for generations that has to be history once for all. We need no approval from any selfish Egyptians nor Sudanes. Did they conselted or asked our permision for decades??? enough is enough no more intimidation. They have been exploited it for theire multi purpose use through out,,,for power, acriculture,,after all they even tried to sale the very water to some middle east countries,,,and had projects to pour nile to sinay desert including selling it for Israel. We should never allow for the usuall Egyptians' scare tactic, just move on it is our natural right to dam, to irigate, or block Abay for power, actriculture or other industy uses. Hey, we must act, now is our time to make real history of ourself instead of counting on our father deed,,,we must make on our own in our time to pass on to the next generation. PM Meles, we are on ur side all the way to the end,,,if Egypt or Sudan wants to wages war because we use our water for development let it be,,,,we the young and the old, men and women Ethiopians will pay any price for our God given right as it requires. We shall stand for the safe guard of our country,,,and will stand against poverty and that comes with it. Go Ethiopia Go……We shall win,,,,let us contirbute, donate or buy bond to make it happen. Long live Ethiopia. Let's make history once again. Cheers for the success of our Great Millennium Dam success!!!!!!!

Nile for Egypt is a matter of survival, we have no other source for water, the nile has been there for thousands of years, and over its shores started the earliest civilization that benefited all man kind.
Now Zenawy, and and bunch of unreasonal shofenistic corrupt offecials and ignorent people is thinking of changing the above stated fact. Supposing that 300 million Arabs across the world will just be calm and watch him deprive the most important and largest Arab nation, mother of Arabs and Mother of Man kind, out of its most precious natural resrource, if this is not ignorence and silfishness and advocacy of war, what is ?
If u corner even a little kitten, it will just fight for its survival, so what about Arab nations that even the US can not deal with one of them, that is Iraq which is very small compared to egypt?
we will fight u till the end, because it is a matter of survival, to u it is just a matter of profit, so that Zenawy can add up a few more billion dollars to his bank account in Swizerland, u will gain nothing out of it, but poverty, pain and famin.
Writer of this comment is a Army Colonel speaking on behalf of the Ruling Millitary Council of Egypt, eventually, a wise man which we know that Ethiopians are, A wise man would find a million reasons why not to go to war, prove it fellow ethiopians, prove that u are as wise as we beleive u are.
April 9, 2011 at 10:57 am
yes, you have missiles,
you can just shove it up your asses u fuckers, ur a nation that could not even win the war against a bunch of Sumalese Rebels and needed to mobilize all its resources to gain a sea front from Eritria but also failed, ur a nation that produces more food than its people needs but just perfers to keep its people in famin to sell its agricultual products to the west so that Zenawy and his own party would douple thier credit in their secret bank account in Swizerland
when are u goin to wake up ethiopians and know that the enemy you have to deal with is your corrupt government.
April 9, 2011 at 11:07 am
this idea is strong idea and it needs our participation so please support your country to run from poverty
April 9, 2011 at 11:23 am
The most crucial project that may bring change in all aspect GOD bless Ethiopia.
April 9, 2011 at 12:16 pm
yo wael! please dont patronize us, you aRE JUST UNBELEIVEBLE! the nile should be divided b/n ethiopia and the rest riparian states accordingly.beleive in that! building the dam will not starve you,the only way you are going to starve is if you wage war! that would be sad! …….. why am i trying to explain when i could just say …………. viva ethiopia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! long live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and god bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 9, 2011 at 2:16 pm
I believe Ethiopians have the right to build the Dam in their country. Its the time the Ethiopians to change the History, its the time to stand together and make this happen if it will bring change and development in the Country, and for those people who are against it for political reasons, please think again, put aside your defferences and work together to benefit the country as whole…
April 9, 2011 at 2:47 pm
We are here 2 make it true.
April 9, 2011 at 3:12 pm
A great dream of ethiopian people has come true.Ethiopia has a bright future after the constuction of millinium dam.We are proud as much as we can not explain.
April 9, 2011 at 3:15 pm
A great dream of Ehiopian people has come true.Ethiopia has a bright future after the construction of millennium dam.We are proud as much as we can not explain.
April 9, 2011 at 3:15 pm
First of all I appericiate A.Mohameds Idea.We have to know what we comment.
For more than 2000 years our people never benefited from this river except its limited hydro-electric power,nile fall picture to decorate houses and hotel,some singers used nile word to make song and people use to say some meanings.Let us use it for our big solution "milinium".
Please every one think this twice three times put the difference to the side and build our country.
April 9, 2011 at 4:10 pm
I don`t have enough words to thank the geneous PM Meles Zenawi,about the idea at all. Any body who thinks, he is an ethiopian shoud partcipet in this project .I am very eager to see this dam done and the dream of true ethiopians come true!!!
April 9, 2011 at 5:18 pm
As an Ethiopian, in the past, I had the average hung up of Ethiopians concerning "ownership" of the River Nile (Abbay) and how the Egyptians owe us for their lives but, I've been to Egypt and understood what the Nile means to the Egyptian people. We do have so many rivers here in Ethiopia while Egypt only has the Nile but it's also true that we're 85% source country for the river Nile and we're highly underdeveloped, suffering famines that have killed upto 2 Million people. God created this earth for all to share and so on the River Nile, we should come to an equitable sharing of the river's potential so both Egyptians and Ethiopians can sustain their population and their development.
Egypt has relatively benefited much more from this river in the past and industrialized their economy as a result. Similar opportunities should be made available to the Ethiopian people merely as a matter of moral and legal rights. Politics is an ugly thing albeit unavoidable in the world we live in. Fear drives humanity in wrong directions all the time and politics fuels on this fear. Here now is an historic opportunity to chose a path that could benefit both people and further strengthen Ethiopian-Egyptian relations by working together rather than against each other. Let's see how this one plays out.
God Bless all.

April 10, 2011 at 4:01 am
ethiopia have right to build dam to take some water from nile that is the truth im egyptian and i wanna say to every egyptian that if we gona make air strike on this dams will do evil thing to other people that we dont accept it on our selfs we make a 2 wars with israel and amirica to take our land back and we sufuering about what they do in our ـ neighbors if we use militry action to destroy this dams will will do the same mistake that israel was doing on us ethiopia poor countrey and they have alot of moslems too that mean we cant let our brothers die coz no food we can give them some water and take what we need we let this water every year go to the sea coz we dont need it what will happend if we give ethiopia some? and about people wich say that israel wich make that and support ethiopia to do this i guss it was along time hope for ethiopia we make war before for this to not let them take some water we should be fair with other people or god will give us astroger enemy and he will be unfair too
April 10, 2011 at 8:34 am
this is atime we escaped from poverity.so we work thougether to complete this dam.
April 10, 2011 at 8:36 am
u knw z't :z ETHIOPIAN people knw about history BC around smtng number ARISTOTIL say 'EGYPT IS Z GIFT OF Z NILE" of course it is TRUE z ethio people trust z's but z EGYPTIAN people dosen't understand what we want we say write another history in addition to "the gift of the nile" z nile is not worse z ethio as well as z EGYPTIAN in z's era rather than before.I want to tell u stht z't z ethio people face many problem becouse of z nile; drought,famine,degradation,desertification,migration of the peop,inequality,what ever ………..so if u wan to write another history pls stand with us……………i swear am tell u the truth the ethio people lov the EGYPTIAN but if u don't with us ………we just show by constracting the dam the nile is not worse for both ctry ………
April 10, 2011 at 8:50 am
Time to pass the line. I do not give a damn about the political situation right now. What i must do is move forward with Meles for the achievment of this remarkable goal.
April 10, 2011 at 10:43 am
This is definitely a huge point in history for a betterment of Ethiopia; sure we will buy the bond and help the government to build the dam.
April 10, 2011 at 10:06 pm
I am Proud By Meles Zenawi God help Him I will by the bond to support the effort
April 10, 2011 at 10:17 pm
this is a great news and i will buy the bond to see the final "dream".but also i'm afraid to the prime minster he may wish to stay at power until the accomplishment of the project. "ethiopia lezelaalem tinur!"
April 11, 2011 at 7:33 am
Wow! it is agreat and wonderful Decission to construct the Millenium Dam on Abay River. We Ethiopians must be go together Starting from the root up to the fruit in terms of financial and ideal support.
April 11, 2011 at 8:30 am
Fellow Ethiopians,
New Egypt is reaching out for you, we respect ethiopian people, but you just can not treat us like this, you just can go ahead and do whatever you want with our most precious natural resources, this chaos in building dams will result in nothing but war, famine, and grieve to the people of our great nations.
I am with a fairer distripution of the Nile water in which ethiopia gets a bigger share of the Nile water, but it has to be in cooperation with the two countries, and it has to be without using this way that defenately lead to war.
If you are thinking that the Arab World (300 million people) out of which gulf cournties are considered to be the second richest economic region in the world, would let you do that, and deprive Egypt (their mother nation, and the nation that defends all Arabs) out of its water and drive its people thirsty, think again.
the way your one man regime is dealing with the situation proves that the head of your regime has no political skills at all, he is selling you this project as a dream, but it will be your worst nightmare,
we are your neighbours throughout history, we lived with you in piece, your people are working everywhere in the Arab world, christians and muslims, and are considered our brothers, you just can do this to us,
Finally, a wise man would find a million ways to not to go to war, we know that you are the wise nation of Africa, so prove it to us, your battle is with your dictator, do not let him play you and lead u to war that benefits no one but him and his corrupt political party, stand up for yoru rights and oust him as we did with Hosni Mubarak.
We love Ethiobia, and are looking for a brighter future with its people, please help us to achive this dream, cause without ur help this can be a nightmare for all of us.
April 11, 2011 at 8:39 am
The declaration of constructing the dam that will harm a powerful nation like Egypt is seen by most Egyptians as an all out Declaration of War on Egypt, and if it is war Zenawy wants, it is definately war he will get.
April 11, 2011 at 9:41 am
I think Ethiopia is wake from sleeping. history will repeat him self. Let GOD be with us.
April 11, 2011 at 9:47 am
It is a matter of time. any generation will built this dam. we are lucky to be a part of it. its Gold in the hand. every Egyptian people!!! be a smart work with us. i told u IT'S A MATTER OF TIME. God bless Africa.
April 11, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Mohanned Atta &Wael hasan .
don't think we won't rise up if u ever think about going to war with Ethiopia.first of all stand still and read history do your homework. enough is enough we got all the right to do anything we won't on the river Nile . if there need to be thinking aging it's Egypt Not Ethiopia who should think and think again before going to war.
Proud to be Ethiopian
April 11, 2011 at 4:57 pm
April 11, 2011 at 6:45 pm
I am referring to Wael Hassan and Mohammad Atta…There will be no war between Ethiopia and it's neighboring countries. The dam is justice to Ethiopians who have lived in poverty for years, stricken by damages of proxy wars financed by Egypt and it's allies to weaken Ethiopia for it's attempts to develop the nations agricultural inputs as well as energy. Now the time has gone way back to all those outdated politics of dominance. Ethiopia will prosper through it's fair share of the resources the Nile has to offer. Your good nation will continue benefit of the outcomes in addition to the fare share you deserve. Your opinion of engaging into war is simply zero commonsense. Regardless the fact, Egypt's attempt to overtake Ethiopia has it in history as the biggest disaster in it's records. Not only Egypt is incapable of declaring/engage into war with Ethiopia, should that happen, the victory of the the battle of GUNDET will repeat itself in a defeat your forefathers have experienced back in time. Words are just way far from facts. I hope we both live to witness reality. Ethiopia as it stands today is one of Africa's most powerful nations with a tested army on various occasions compared to an army of Egypt full of logistics with unproven record of any battles won. I guess you are quite aware your last peace of action that remains in the battle of Sinai during the 6 days war don't you ? Your entire army fled back the Jewish offensive in the most coward of all manners an accomplished military has. Finally, just learn that war is no solution and should you think so, Ethiopia is way advanced than your nation's proud army in dealing effectively with your leaders arrogant attempt to distabilize our peaceful nation. GOD BLESS ETHIOPIA AND IT"S FRIENDS!

is so good continue the appreciable Ethiopian new generation will be improbable
April 12, 2011 at 7:44 am
What war are you thinking wael & mohammed? Don't you dare to think about that? We Ethiopians & Egyptians are not going to war but there will be mutual benefit on the abay river. Abay is our precious resources too. It is our resources which we haven't yet used due to various reasons one of which is Egypt's leaders wrong perception & wrong doing supporting & financing rebels. We will continue supporting the government constructing the dam. We will do what ever necessary to achieve the goal. Now is the time to do so.
April 12, 2011 at 11:29 am
Well to commenter hailu,
it is too damn obvious what kind of ignorent personality you are, you obviously don't know shit about Egyptian history, you don't know that Egypitan army has almost distroyed your frindly Jewish state of Israel in 1973, if it wasn't for the US interferrence, it would have finished the job and through Israel in the Med. sea, u don't read. Of course egypt will don it again if it has too because in the Sahara without water you are simply dead, and if this so, then we will make sure that you dei before us,
your army is pathatic, it failed in almost every mission, it has lost the war with Eritria once and second time it lost against a bunch of Sumaleese rebels, shame on you and your army, there is nothing to brag about if you know what I mean for you in Modern History.
Egypt has more Jets than Turkey, and is the world's second user of F16 jets, do your homework right this time, Egypt has unprecedented missile and chemical war fare more than Iran and Turkey together, egypt has an army of 600 thousand very well traine professionals, not the jungle soldiers that you have.
and most of all egypt has gulf countries to finance its war against you, but for your nation that can not ever feed its people, it is a different story, u will surrender your asses to us in a month, and you will be kissing your shoes to stop destroying every stone in your capital, we will send you back to your history that u never stop braging about,
God Bless Egypt, and Death to its No. 1 enemy ethiopia
April 12, 2011 at 12:37 pm
The Dam will benefit both Ethiopia and other countries. But those speak about death etc to Ethiopia is just joke. God is with us because He is always with those who are pushed and under injustice. Let me ask you, Mohamed Atta, can I use your home resource including your children labor for me? Do you agree? You will not. Just not respecting the benefit of others is just like this.
April 13, 2011 at 6:32 am
Mr Atta,
I guess you ignore the whole point. There will be no war even if you wish it. There will be nothing your nation can do about the Millenium dam. New Egypt as you refer it can only support the cause and participate in this project for it's own benefit. Oh by the way there will be no excuse for a lost war :). It's like a football game you lose due bad ref. You lost war against that tiny jewish state. Loool
April 13, 2011 at 11:39 am
Mr. Wael Hasan
I don't know what u want to say. I want tell u one thing the river is our river and u have no the right to tell us what we want do? Who are u at all?? we can do what we want loool think more. if u want war READ HISTORY we will repeat on u.
April 13, 2011 at 12:59 pm
It gives me a great pleasure being part of those who built this dam.This is because of the fact that till now ethiopia is not benefited from Nile River. As such the construction of the new dam on Nile River is the first step of ethiopians to exercise thier rights on the Nile River. We ethiopians are also ready to give our bloods and money to realize the project. Last but not least i bealive that Sudan and Egypt will contribute alot for the construction of the dam sine they are benefited from the project.
April 14, 2011 at 10:01 am
@Mr. Atta and Mr Hailu
What war are you talking about? I don't foresee any coming war. Never! rather why don't you argue on the point that how the construction of the dam benefit both nations. I think that is excellent point. you don't have to go to mention old time war Egypt had against Jews or the several war occasions Ethiopians had passed through. To clearly see that war has not brought a solution so far, simply analyse what is happening in Afghanistan. US is armed with world best and most sophisticated weapon, but they are truly failed to defeat poorly armed Talibans. Let me come to the previous point, how is it that Egypt benefited from the dam?
April 15, 2011 at 1:00 pm
my message for egyptian people is pls change your mentality b/c now we are not in 19th century,we can't solve all problems in war &now we have to agree on the real ground facts about this great dam. Egypt use only 7% of nile water till now & your gov't did great job blocking funds for ethiopians to construct dams in nile but the really forgot thier home job that they did nothing in nile after president nasir.so now the time has come to ethiopia to construct millenium dam whitout funding from foriegn countries,u have to congragulate your ethiopian brothers! "ethiopians lions roar again after slepting thousands of years"……lets share our resource fairly
April 16, 2011 at 10:06 am
no need talk …….just simply let start it and devote our maximum effort…..

April 18, 2011 at 9:58 am
Hello every Ethiopian! you are lucky to have this opportunity. Of course I am!Let's do a long memorable History by building this magnificent dam.
April 18, 2011 at 12:02 pm
Wael Hasan? one Can not expect this kind of silly comment from u. Look and read this saying from a french wrtiter "ETHIOPIANS ARE ENDOWED WITH THE HABIT TO SHELVE ASIDE THEIR INTERNAL PROBLEM AND STAND AGAINST COMMON ENEMY" this is proved now b/c this is the golden and prescious time that Ethipians stand agaist their common enemy i.e. Poverity. So Wael Hasan I tolerate ur poit of view but pls. think twice before u speak twice. WE AFTER ALL ARE THE NATIONS OF ONE CONTINENT LIVING IN A GLOBAL COOPERATION. BUT AS FOR THE ETHIOPIANS MY ADVISE IS TO GO ON HELPING OUR PRIME MINISTER ACHIEVE THE GOAL. LONG LIVE ETHIOPIA ;A COUNTRY WHERE TRUE BEAUTY HAS NO MEASUER
April 18, 2011 at 12:13 pm
WOW WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME FOR ETHIOPIA GOOD BYE DROUGHT AND POVERITY. I really appriciate the decission made by our prime minister. as far as the dam has zero default for the benefit of egyptians and its ultimate goal is for development We Ethiopians and our neighbours have to be committed and strived enough for the achievement of the goal
April 18, 2011 at 8:08 pm
I think it's the time for the Renaissance of Ethiopia lets God be with us!!
April 19, 2011 at 9:36 am
Hallo Brothers and Sisters, about which war r u discussing about???
We, Ethiopians and egyptians, have leaved for hundreds of years in harmony and peace. And now, in 21 Century, we have to stand together as brothers and sisters living in the same continent and let us see and disscus aportunities which brings win-win for both.
Question for our egiptian brothers.
What does egyptians lose bc of this dam since they didn't use nice, if so just a little part of it???
let us bring peace in africa
And don't menstion which wars the cantrries have won or lost.
We r in 21 CENTURY.
April 19, 2011 at 9:38 am
I meant
Question: What does egyptians lose bc of this dam since they didn't use nile, if so just a little part of it (about 7%)???
April 19, 2011 at 7:06 pm
Dear, Mr. Mohammed Atta, you talk a lot man. regardless of your wrong informations you have about the Abysinians, you should at least be proud that you are talking with heros. do you know that every ethiopians are heros? heros that proved them selves in many battle fields. it is good if you better talk about mutual benefit. Think abay river as a fund we are funding you every year as it is our's and not yours. if you want we can block all then you all will die. we dont go to war with you. we simply stop our fund and you will die mr. mohammed. just respect yourself.
April 20, 2011 at 5:01 pm
Mr. Atta
I think U have no information that Ur country had opened war over Ethiopia more than 31 times but Egypt defeated in all fields. Previously, I thought that U are developed in thinking as Ur cities but I analyzed U R not among mentally matured. Anybody can understand how U are such a childish thinker and U proud of signifying a traditional solution war at this time for Nile issue. Do not U think, Ur troops could not stabilize Ur own politics, and why U deny your puppet troops of Somali and Eritrea were defeated. We know that those useless troops were other form of Ur troops which U harbored. Let me ask U one thing, please Mr. Atta how U are living with Israel rather talking history? Why U prefer to be wife of US and Israel? Ur eyes are blind of the fact. I know modern Egyptians are thinking about how both countries mutually benefited.
Don't be such arrogant and false history teller
God Bless Ethiopia
April 21, 2011 at 7:48 am
Egyptian fellow brothers,think twice before posting nonsense remarks I believe historically the Nile enriched ancient & modern Egypt , built its civilization ,it is obvious that it is the river's natural course that made its way to Egypt our position in the upper course made us not to do what Egypt did with the river . Now the time has come to make use of it believe it or not every citizen willing to give the last penny for the cause . No war No fear
April 23, 2011 at 4:25 pm
I'm so happy to see z's in my life, ethiopians must stand for z reality of z projuect.
April 25, 2011 at 1:57 pm
Egyptians have to stop their old and arrogance stance regarding the Nile use. I think we Ethiopians do not need any talk with Egyptians and the Nile is the product of our mother land. Don't ever think there is a need to talk about our own resource. Why do ask others in using our mother land resource. Even, i don't think there is a need to discuss about this issue with our western friends, unless they are financially supporting us. Israel is our ancient country and i am sure they will support us in everything. Long Live Israel-Ethiopia relationship. Chinese are every thing for us. Thank you China. Same with Italy government. We like you very much
April 25, 2011 at 8:29 pm
I am proud by the decission made by our government.this has been a question for a long time.we ethiopians will support in anything.but i have a question for ethiopian citizens who live in different countries why do you oppose from there if you have the guts to oppose pecefully come and show us.i am not a suuporter of any party."Ethiopian revolution starts here"
April 26, 2011 at 8:02 am
let us strive for…………..
war is dirty game. but it depends!
April 26, 2011 at 9:27 am
Mr Atta. u tried to frighten Ethiopians (the heroes) with what Ur weapons u have . But u forget or u r ashamed b/s u don 't want to mention that Ur country received a huge aid from USA, European countries and Arab nations ( the gulf) every year to keep yourself alive beside the aid of Ethiopia ( Blue Nile). But this is nonsense. U still don't understand that u and Ur country's soul is in the hands of Ethiopians. U all will die if we block or divert the Nile. So please be informed if Ur government tries open war and conquer Ethiopian we will not fire a single buollet but we will divert or block it. .
April 26, 2011 at 12:02 pm
To Mr. Mohamed
why u forget that Ethiopia defeated Egypt twice at z battles of gura&gundet in 1875&1876 during z era of emperor Yohannes, z Italians in 1896 during z period of colonization while ur nation, Egypt was colonized by Britain.this is to inform u that Ethiopia is Africa's militarily strong nation.who vanished z Somalian extremists? it is z Ethiopian army.but Ethiopians r not arrogant like u.And u may know zat Ethiopia is Nile's 86% source but Ethiopia insists on using z water in a fair & equitable way.Ironically ,Egyptians who r not z source of z river,had been trying to use it completely at z expense of Ethiopia& Egypt had been triying to hinder Ethio from using the river but who allowed u to built Aswan dam.But what I want to recommend u is it is better if u work in cooperation with Ethio.Don't be greedy &mean. We know zat Egypt's 95% land is desert & throughout history u depend on Nile river.Finally, I need to inform u zat z grand dam to be built on Nile river will benefit both upstream&lower stream nations,for example,it will reduce z evaporation of water from z Aswan dam.
April 26, 2011 at 12:45 pm
As Ethiopian i am proud that we are able use Abay river .This project requires not only money but also peace with Neigboring countries ,patience and Prayer.
God Bless Our Country
April 27, 2011 at 6:58 pm
Mr.Mohammed Atta and other Egyptians of similar mentality
,You really do not know Ethiopia and Ethiopians now and in history, except may be its current poverty which indeed partly the result of various conspiracies and finances that your past governments in history were making against Ethiopia to be busy of wars with its neighbors and rebels. Now Ethiopia has done and passed all your systematic and merciless obstacles by life and blood and started the long journey to glory to any kind, political economical, global etc whereby in these days of the 21st century strongly believe cooperation and global effort, let alone only regional and neighborhood like of ours, for common development in target.
Unlike you I know and hope the new political change and generation of your wonderful country, Egypt, understand that war of any kind, at any level and with whoever is would not be solution, lesson can be learned from USA and as in the past never make the Nile as a deceptive political tool to foolish Egyptian people as those past military governments did and instead enhance much more utilization of the Nile from its current only 7% level to benefit of the poor in Egypt and the remaining riparian countries. This would be achieved if only if Egypt strengthen cooperation and develop its political trust in the Nile watershed at large, not only with Ethiopia. I think you should work too in that line as individual and make aware the rest of Egyptians in similar ways too, to love, to respect of rights of others and co operations. In this days of high tech and thinking exist and can be applied and where environmental problems which is trans boundary and global and partly manifest itself in poor watershed management like of ours is crucial agenda on world table, a sane mind of 21st century never think war as a means to achieve whatever.
Allah has given Abay, the Nile, the Ghion to all of us, let us give Him thanks to its this amazing gift and work together to make benefit out of and enjoy it to maximum efficiency, it is so much enough not only to us but also to the rest of the world. I know that it would be so silly to think so, but if Egypt starts war, with which of seven countries it to be do you think? If with Ethiopia learn history and Hadith (Saying of the beloved prophet Mohammed (PBUH) tells you. The matter is of the heart and the practice in the battlefield not military might as you think.
April 28, 2011 at 8:22 am
It it really a great change. I am really sure this dam will change Ethiopian by far radically. peoples must really contribute for the dam, because there is no one, right now, for Ethiopia except her peoples.
April 28, 2011 at 10:01 pm
Hi friends, am happpy of heraing that Melese and his family is going to constract a big dam which generate engery equvalent to 5,250. Great to hear such nobel idea. My question is always it is pardox`to me to belive the assertion that ethiopia is grown. Becouse our measurment of development is becoming the number o building built in ADIS, ADAMA, AWASA ETC or road constracted. But am not undermining this fact I really aprrciate the EPRDF government puting its unreserved effort to crub the situation in ethiopia. Althouth their are sky rockating building are built in Addis what you need to ask yourslef is who own iT? the answer is clear. 1. Melese and his family or the Tigrian 2. Corrapted EPRDF offcials 3. Or bussiness men who are poloticall afflated to the ruling party. Belive me ethiopia become atribble country to live becouse of life expensiveness.
April 29, 2011 at 12:05 pm
Really it is surprise for all Ethiopians and people who are +ve thinker for eth. Because this planned Dam is an indicator of developmental change, covering of the whole expense by its own people and government shows that the people are egure for change and development.

Hello my nation! i dont know why we are worry, is it not our right to use our resources to build our country? is there any international law which forbid us?
We are in peace with Egypt.We wish all the best not only for Egypt, but for all nations!! I think every body can understand this, including Egypt!!!
I think it is very far to think that any body will cross our border to fight us—-!
As p.m. Meles Zenawi said, no one will try to do that, and no one will do that!
Of course!!—!! because no more way for that. every body knows this—, even Egyptians!!!
May 16, 2011 at 9:37 pm

May 17, 2011 at 5:35 pm
Congratulations to Egyptions,Sudanes and Ethiopians.Peace is prevailing and with such a partinership and collaboration we will prosper.bravo Africa,you have such civilized ways of resolutions.
May 17, 2011 at 5:37 pm
The consensus is good.
May 19, 2011 at 2:38 pm
All Ethiopians who live inside and outside of Ethiopia and our development partners contribution will realize the construction of the Grand Millennium Dam Project.Our hope is that the project will transform Ethiopia to middle-level income country and lay the foundation for Industrialization.Thinking in one mind and heart among Ethiopians has now began.
May 19, 2011 at 10:06 pm
We can make real our dam even though no one supports us. We stretch as much as we can to eradicate poverty by constructing this dam very soon. But, we Ethiopians are still considering our neighborers while constructing the damp. We do not want threaten their survival. We are not when I say this I am not telling you our generousness, but our stand for lower stream countries. No Ethiopian wants to harm neither Egypt nor Sudan!!!
May 23, 2011 at 12:21 pm
let do new history like our preveous elders by cooprating to the constraction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 24, 2011 at 2:37 pm
First I greet all nations belong to the blessed Land 'Habasha'.Next to this Success full achieved in this time is very very late action.However, I congratulate every body who participate in this matter. I have Question, is Egypt has another vital resource to live along except nile river.Please let compromise each other. Ethiopia has raw hidden treasury no applied on job yet. Don't make ur self busy forgetting to lose more and gain a little.
April 1, 2012 at 8:09 am
wow i remember that day before one year when it seems to me a nightmare but now i proud really GOD BLESS ABYISINIA.
April 8, 2012 at 5:31 am
Whatever they say,just keep going Ethiopia.
April 14, 2012 at 6:42 am
The world knows us in poverty, famine, war and in general in a walk of life that can't ever be imagined by the foreigners. But let me tell you deep from my heart that this was not true and will never be true. Come and see if you want, we were great and we will be always great. Being ETHIOPIAN is a great gift of GOD. I always think that this great country will be the talk of everyone in near future through the continuous struggle of her heroes. Please everybody in the world give me a little attention to me once? The grand Ethiopian renaissance bridge is not a dream it is some little thing that Ethiopian heroes can do for their country and is not aimed at (hasn't the intention of) harming the others like Egypt, Sudan and all the countries D/S of the river. Rather come and work together to build the future great Africa.
March 29, 2013 at 6:41 am
this project is build in my home town bamza,so our leader is so so wise and marvaleous in this universe.this project is our proud,strengith and our forse to atack poverty so am happy from the depth of my heart!

News Story Link
It was a good day at work Friday.
In case anybody has missed it, I work for the company who makes those parachutes for Cirrus, as well as a lot of ultralights, Light Sport aircraft, and a couple Cessnas. We are now up to 294 on our all-time saves count.
-- Edited on 3/30/13 1:49 PM --
------A sewing machine is just a welder for textiles.
Congratulations!! I noticed what a pretty parachute it was. Are they designed so that if the plane had crashed in the wild, the chute could be spotted?
------2009-113.25 yds
2012 86.3 yds..
2013 21.0
Everyone who sews seriously has a stockpile of fabrics, because it is natural to purchase more than can be sewn in any one season" Singer, Timesaving Sewing, 1987
Yes. White and bright orange are visible most anywhere.
Oh, WHAT a GAS!
Congratulations. How wonderful to have a job which you do well, and which does good!
That's fantastic!!!!
wow! yes, that would make it a good day. Wonderful!
------Bernina 880, Creative Sensation Pro, Bernina350SE,
How does that work? I've never seen a parachute in a small plane before.
The parachutes are folded like any other parachute, then placed in steel jigs and pressure packed with a hydraulic press, to about 10,000 pounds pressure. Then they are baked at low temperature, in the jig, for 24 hours to "set" the chute so it doesn't try to fluff back up as soon as the lid is taken off the jig. The unit is then packed in a protective fabric deployment bag, which is also designed to stage the parachute deployment in a controlled fashion, to get it out in the airstream in an orderly fashion for inflation. In the aircraft, it is contained in a canister or other special box, usually in or just behind the cargo area. The straps attaching the parachute to the airframe are Kevlar, up to 20,000 pound break strength, in four places. The installed parachute has no effect at all on the aircraft except for putting about 55-65 pounds of weight on board for a large unit such as the Cirrus.
In action, when you have decided that it's your last best option, you shut off the engine if running, and pull a red T handle, which fires a solid fuel rocket, which pulls the parachute out of the aircraft and into the airstream for inflation. This takes under one second from pull handle to parachute fully stretched out and starting to inflate. Inflation is purposely slowed down by a fabric ring called the slider which is mounted on the suspension lines. When the speed is reduced enough that the parachute will not blow out, it opens fully, the airplane swings a bit under it, and you are along for the ride to the ground. The hit at the ground is supposed to be equal to a 12 foot free fall, so it's going to be a hard bump, but most people walk away with minor bruises. The airplane landing gear and the seats take up quite a bit of the hit.
The company website is here:
That's about it!
BRS -- Edited on 3/31/13 2:18 PM --
Wow, cool news and thanks for the detailed description. When I flew tiny Cessna's a long time ago, I never heard about anything like this. This must be something to see in action.

The series opener was a game they'd like to forget, but instead the Coyotes will likely spend the next two days talking to reporters about what went wrong and how to fix it.
Center Andrew Ebbett hopes the experience is inspirational before Phoenix and Detroit meet again on Saturday afternoon at Joe Louis Arena (1 p.m. ET) for Game 2.
"We've got that two-day break, so we've got to sit on it for two days," Ebbett said. "Hopefully that will light a fire under a few guys here and we'll be ready for Saturday afternoon. We've been a road team all year, so we're a confident bunch in here. We feel like we let one slip away tonight."

I have a Shimano 7400 front derailleur mated to a set of 2005ish Campy Chorus 10sp brifters. When I'm on my SL/SP Paramount, in the big ring and out of the saddle, it often shifts down on me. I've noticed that the spring on my particular FrDer is quite stiff, stiffer than I remember any previous FrDer.
Is it the FrDer/brifter combo or am I daft and just swinging the BB like the hips on a Hula Dancer?

Hi, Welcome to Image Dashboard .This is my first post on this blog and also on wordpress . This post is short description about what this blog is going to be ? What this blog contains ? and my bio !
About me
I am Gaurav Vichare , Auhor of this.I am a future IT engineer. More than this I am photoshop lover. Photoshop and blogging is my passion. Read more about me .
Why Image Dashboard ?
I already have one blog on blogspot . I have written 26 awesome articles on vphotoshop.com . so you must thinking why I started second blog with same topic , reason is domain name of vphotoshop. Adobe trademark policies says that, "You may not incorporate or include any Adobe trademark in your company name, product or service name, or domain name. " Hence I can not use any adobes product name in domain name. so I made decision to start new blog from scratch with new domain and wordpress.
Domain name
I'd thank to my classmates and facebook friends for helping me to choose domain name . First I sorted 5 domain names and asked my friends to choose one name that is easy to spell, easy remember and easy to tell . ImageDashboard.com won! This name got maximum votes !
Future of Image Dashboard
I have many ideas for Image Dashboard and I have many expectations .I am working hard for that . Let me clear few things about blog content
- I will write only about photoshop, tutorials like photoshop basics,photo manipulation, retouch, logo design, text effect etc.
- I will write 2 articles per week.
- I will use video ,slide shows or flash in article if needed .
- Blog is completely free. Anyone can read any post.
I wanted to stand out from cloud. For that I am going to do following things ..
- I observed that most of the top photoshop tutorial website like are not teaching any basics. They only teach professional tutorials. So I decided to start with basic tutorials and slowly slowly move toward difficult one .
- I will use slide shows ,video (youtube) and flash for better understanding of tutorials.
- Provide high quality information with less advertisement.
Please leave your comments below if you have any suggestion for my blog or anything you want to share with me and blog audience.

Gaza 'war crimes' hearing under way
A public hearing organised by a UN team investigating alleged war crimes by Israel and Hamas during the Gaza war is under way.
As part of its investigations into the December 2008-January 2009 Gaza conflict, the UN fact-finding mission will listen to testimony from victims of the conflict for two days in Gaza City and hold a second round of public hearings on July 6 and July 7 in Geneva.
During the hearing, which began on Sunday and is being screened live for the public and the media, the mission will hear from victims of alleged violations and from experts on the context and impact of the Israeli siege and military operations.
The public hearings, which are a part of the information-gathering work of the fact-finding mission, will enable victims, witnesses and experts from all sides in the conflict to speak directly to the international community.
In Geneva, the mission will hear from victims of alleged violations in Israel and the West Bank, as well as from experts on a variety of military and legal issues.
Geneva has been chosen as the venue of the second round of hearings since the fact-finding mission has so far not received permission to enter Israel to hold the sessions in southern Israel and the West Bank.
'Hearings limited'
The public hearings were called for by Richard Goldstone, head of the 15-member team and previously a member of the South African constitutional court.
He has also investigated war crimes in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia.
"The purpose of the public hearings in Gaza and Geneva is to show the faces and broadcast the voices of victims – all of the victims," Goldstone said on Thursday, at the end of a four-day fact-finding trip to Gaza.
Goldstone also added that the public hearings in both Gaza and Geneva will augment the ongoing investigations of the fact-finding mission.
"The hearings are limited in time and scope", he said.
"The fact that not all important incidents and events are the subject of the public hearings should in no way be interpreted as meaning that the other incidents are of lesser importance or of less concern to the mission".
The hearings are only one aspect of the mission's investigative work.
Al Jazeera's Sherine Tadros, reporting from Gaza, said: "The aim of this mission, according to Goldstone, is to broadcast the voices and to show the faces of the victims.
"This is not about compensation or legal recourse. What the victims want is an opportunity to tell the world what happened in the hope that people will remember their story and the killings of their loves ones will not go unnoticed," she said.
The mission is due to complete a report with its findings in August.
Israeli offensive
Israel launched its 22-day offensive against Gaza's Hamas rulers and the Gazan people on 27 December.
The operation killed more than 1,400 Palestinians, including more than 900 civilians, among them scores of children, according to Palestinian officials and human rights groups.
It also destroyed thousands of homes and heavily damaged Gaza's infrastructure.
Israel claims the death toll was lower and most of the dead were Hamas fighters.
Thirteen Israelis were also killed during the fighting.
Gaza's reconstruction is being hampered by Israel's blockade of Gaza which dates back to June 2007 when Hamas took control of the territory.
Since then, Israel and Egypt, which control Gaza's only border crossing that bypasses Israel, have kept the territory of 1.5 million aid-dependent people sealed to all but essential humanitarian supplies.
Israel has insisted that the blockade is necessary to prevent Hamas from arming itself, but human rights groups say it is a collective punishment.
The fact-finding mission is mandated by the UN to investigate all violations of international human rights and humanitarian laws that might have been committed at any time in the context of the military operations conducted in Gaza.
During the public hearings, witnesses and experts will speak about incidents and experiences regarding loss of life, attacks on physical integrity, destruction of industry and livelihood, and the effects of prolonged conflict on mental health, among others.

Petaluma leaders Wednesday downplayed an alert that a top credit-rating agency is taking a closer look at the city's finances with an eye on risky investments.
Moody's Investors Services announced this week it is evaluating 30 California cities, including Petaluma and Santa Rosa, for potential downgrades of their credit ratings. A few, including San Francisco and Los Angeles, could have their ratings upgraded.
Petaluma officials said that Moody's apparently wants to examine one specific bond issue: $5.7 million in 2003 to fund airport improvements. About $4.8 million is still outstanding.
"I'm not overly concerned about a downgrade at this point," said Petaluma Finance Director Bill Mushallo.
In Santa Rosa, the agency is focusing on a $51 million pension-obligation bond from 2003 and a $10 million bond that financed the purchase of two downtown buildings in 2007. Both bonds are secured by Santa Rosa's general fund -- the main account from which most tax-supported city services, including salaries and benefits, are paid.

The blog platform has proven itself as a brilliant way for engaging like-interested individuals in all types of subject matter. Over the years it has evolved from a simply hobby into a powerful marketing tool. This article will present a "cliff notes" history of how blogging developed and how it has become a dominating marketing tool. Then, we will delve a little deeper into the secrets of how to market effectively with a blog.
Brief History of Blogging
The progression of blogs throughout the web's short history is an interesting one. At first bloggers were predominantly hobby writers who desired to share their interests with the rest of the world. The blog platform began as a sort of personal diary with international access. In fact, the word "blog" is a combination of the words "web" and "log," or "web log." As time went on, some bloggers developed considerable sized followings. Once bloggers figured out that they could make money from advertising to their loyal readers, a new marketing platform was born.
Today individuals and businesses on all levels of the marketing spectrum, from neighborhood stores and service providers, to international corporations, are using blogging as a means of marketing.
The Blog's Secret Marketing Power
The secret of the blog's marketing power is in the ability to engage readers on a personal level. As long as you produce content that engages potential customers or clients, your blog posts can be a source of free marketing power.
Engaging an Audience
The blog is your opportunity to engage an audience; likewise, gear posts towards the audience that you are trying to engage.
What to Write
What are the people that you are interested in working with most interested in knowing about? Providing that information for them is doubly beneficial to your marketing position.
- It shows that you are an expert in just the things they need help with.
- By providing good content, the audience begins to feel indebted to you, and naturally feel a desire to reciprocate that goodness.
Being too Personal
While it's cool that blogs used for marketing can mix the realm of business with the realm of personal life, it is not necessary to go into too many of your life's gory details. Basically the rule that I like to follow is, "If I wouldn't talk about it with a client, I don't blog about it either."
Multi-Subject Blogging
As a general rule it's not a good idea to mash together too many subjects as the main subjects of a blog. For instance, if your interests include computers, and surfing, and basket weaving, then just pick one of those subjects as the main angle of the blog. On the other hand, once you have picked a main topic, you can, and should, use your multifaceted knowledge to add richness to the content of the blog.
The difference between having a multifaceted blog and a multi-subject blog might seem to be a very fine line, but the difference in the readers experience is huge. For instance, if you want to have a blog about computer technologies, and you are also an avid football fan, you might be tempted to have a computer tech and football blog. The problem with doing that is that it alienates readers, unless they are specifically interested in both of those subjects. But if you were to write a blog that is about computer technology and you sprinkle it with football analogies, then the football aspect of your blog won't end up alienating anyone, in fact it will work to further engage readers since you are sharing another side of yourself with them.
The blogs that are most effective for marketing today engage the reader in a way that a regular website, advertisement, or social media platform cannot, while at the same time presenting the products or services of the blogger in a tactful manner.

Michael and Linda Bullard opened their Falmouth eatery Doggz & Hoggz last year and started thinking about adding delivery this year.
While they were bouncing the idea around this spring, they received a visit from Anthony Masciari.
Masciari, from Falmouth, was starting a restaurant delivery business and pitched his idea to them. He would deliver their food to customers — at no fee to the restaurant.
"He may have solved our delivery issue, since we are tight on labor," Michael Bullard said. The couple signed up and Masciari counts them as one of about 100 Upper Cape restaurants he delivers from via his business, Number One Restaurant Delivery.
The Falmouth man spent three years working for a restaurant delivery business in Boston. His mother-in-law, a Falmouth resident, suggested he consider starting an operation on the Cape.
A few months ago, Masciari said he started contacting restaurants to pitch his idea. His business doesn't charge the restaurant. Instead, consumers pay a delivery fee and a driver gratuity.
So far, he has enlisted the help of five others from his family and friends. His list of businesses, seen on numberonerestaurantdelivery.com, includes restaurants, sub shops, bakeries, and ice cream and coffee shops.
The business started deliveries in late May.
"Our main concern is we want to give people a choice. We don't want to limit it to a few different restaurants. We want to make sure everybody can get what they like," he said.
Masciari said the summer traffic on the Cape doesn't deter him after working in Boston.
"Boston is real traffic," he said. "This is not traffic."
So far, Masciari said his crew is focusing on Falmouth, Mashpee and Bourne, with different drivers for each area. If the business succeeds, he would like to expand throughout the Cape and Islands.
Masciari's business already has competition from another startup on the Upper Cape.
Cape Grub started this spring and takes orders at www.
capegrub.com. So far, the business has two establishments signed up, said Eric Faulkner, one of the venture's founders.
That business is starting in Mashpee, Falmouth and Sandwich.

Covering the Queen Anne Fire
It can be difficult to enter situations like this house fire. We never know the mood of people or how they'll welcome our cameras. But experience has taught me that quite often, people WANT to talk. This was the case with Gina Axe. She agreed to wear my microphone as she watched her home burn. It's a powerful thing when folks let me into their lives like that, and even after the interview was over, she kept me updated on things.
There is a competitive side as well. My interview with Gina was under the nose of a photojournalist from a competing station, one whom I have immense respect for. That I was able to beat him to Gina's story in such a chaotic scene was immensely gratifying.

Minister Cannon Builds on Relations with NATO Allies and Partners
(No. 373 – December 4, 2009 – 7:15 p.m. EST) The Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today concluded his participation in a NATO foreign ministers meeting in Brussels that addressed a number of key security issues. During this meeting, Minister Cannon discussed the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan with Canada's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) partners as well as with Afghanistan's Foreign Minister Ranjin Dadfar Spanta.
"As President Hamid Karzai said in his inauguration speech, Afghans must take the lead when it comes to their own security and the delivery of governance and basic services, and the Afghan public must be able to see this," said Minister Cannon during the ISAF foreign ministers' session.
Minister Cannon conveyed to his counterparts that 2010 would be a transitional year for Afghanistan, and that today's meeting should be seen as an important step in the lead-up to the Afghanistan Conference to be hosted by the United Kingdom in late January.
"Canada remains focused on achieving progress on its six priorities and three signature projects it is implementing in Afghanistan between now and our military withdrawal in 2011," said Minister Cannon.
"I welcome the alliance's decisions today under its open door policy, including the invitation to Montenegro to move toward NATO membership by joining the Membership Action Plan," said the Minister. "I also welcome the decision that Bosnia-Herzegovina will join the Plan once it achieves the necessary reforms. Like our allies, I look forward to welcoming Macedonia to the NATO table as soon as possible, as NATO allies declared at the 2008 Bucharest Summit. At the same time, allies reaffirmed that Ukraine and Georgia will become NATO members and commended their progress toward Euro-Atlantic integration by implementing reforms under their annual national programs."
Minister Cannon also attended a meeting of the NATO-Russia Council at which important decisions were adopted to enhance NATO-Russia cooperation in areas of common interest. He also held a series of individual meetings with foreign ministers as well as with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, during which Minister Cannon expressed Canada's firm commitment to continue protecting the Arctic's environmental heritage, promoting its economic and social development, and exercising Canada's sovereignty in the region.
Canada is strongly committed to NATO and views the alliance as the primary forum for security consultation and cooperation between Europe and North America. NATO meetings constitute an opportunity to advance Canada's interests, principles and values.

Diamond in the rough? Dallas Cowboys WR Anthony Armstrong trying to make final roster after spending two years selling jewelry
OXNARD, Calif .– Speedy wide receiver Anthony Armstrong has put himself in position to land one of the Cowboys' final roster spots. But if it doesn't work out for Armstrong, he could always go back to selling jewelry.
The Carrollton Newman Smith product's long, twisting journey to the NFL included two years with the Dallas Desperados of the Arena Football League in 2007 and 2008. During those two seasons, Armstrong took a job at Whitehall Jewelers in Stonebriar Centre Mall in Frisco just to make ends meat.
"I went in there and they were hiring and they actually had some pretty ladies in there, too, so I wasn't really tripping," Armstrong said, "and I went ahead and took the job."
Birth announcement: Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo has second child on way
Tony Romo: Terrance Williams has really come on; 'He's going to be an important part' of the Cowboys' offense
Bill Callahan hints more changes possible for Cowboys' offensive line after preseason game vs. Arizona
The two jobs made for long days for Armstrong. He'd workout and practice with the Desperados starting at 8 a.m. and then head to straight over to sell engagement rings and other jewelry from 3-9 p.m.
"It ends up being some pretty handy knowledge," Armstrong said. "A lot of people ask me advice on what they should get for their girlfriend."
Armstrong has always had to be a salesman, but most of the time it was about selling coaches and scouts on his skill set.
Armstrong has been posting training camp updates to a blog the last few weeks and his long-shot journey to the NFL will soon be featured on E:60, ESPN's weekly investigative journalism newsmagazine TV show. ESPN shot some video of Armstrong after Thursday morning's walk-through practice.
His chances of making the Cowboys' final roster would increase ifDallasdecides to keep six receivers. If they go with five, he'd likely have to beat out Cole Beasley.
Either way, he's a go-to person in training camp if a teammate wants to pop the question. What advice does he have on picking out the perfect ring?
"I focus on getting a good quality diamond for the center stone because you can always move that diamond to a pendant or buy another diamond and get it to ear rings," Armstrong said. "At Whitehall, some women were really sentimental and never wanted to change it but the majority wanted to.
"You could change the cut. The round cut has more facets so it's going to shine brighter, have more brilliance. It's more of a classic look. If she's contemporary, you go with the princess cut. If she wants to be a little bit different, you may see an oval or an emerald cut or even a cushion cut. There are a few different things that you can try. The combinations are limitless."

If you find yourself in the situation where you have Microsoft Outlook 2010 64bit Edition Installed together with Communicator 2007 R2 you will find that without the proper Exchange Configuration you will not have access to your Outlook Contacts and your Presence in Communicator will not be synchronized with your Calendar or OOF Events.
In a 1:1 installation, meaning Outlook and Communicator both, 32bit, Communicator relies on Outlook to get the Presence and OOF information as well as Local Contacts. It does this by connecting to the mapi.dll, but more on this in a later chapter.
Here is how to get Presence, OOF and Contact Information synchronized with your 32bit Communicator even if you have Outlook 64bit or no Outlook at all.

Water: Laws & Executive Orders
Water Quality Standards Regulatory Changes Fact sheet
EPA-823-F-10002; July 2010
- Summary
- Background
- Potential Scope of the Changes
- Listening Sessions for the Public
- How to Get Additional Information
EPA is planning to propose a limited set of targeted changes to the water quality standards regulation to improve its effectiveness in helping restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters. EPA expects to publish a proposed rule in the Federal Register in summer 2011. Prior to publishing a proposed rule, EPA will hold informal "listening sessions" inviting members of the public to express their views on the possible changes EPA is considering for the rulemaking as well as offer additional suggestions. EPA will also hold separate, individual listening sessions for tribal, state, and local governments.
Water quality standards serve as the foundation for the water quality-based approach to pollution control, including Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, and are a fundamental component of watershed management.
EPA developed its federal regulations to implement the requirements of the CWA. The Federal Water Quality Standards regulations are found at 40 CFR Part 131. Fundamentally, the regulation: 1) defines when and how designated uses may be revised; 2) requires criteria to protect those uses and be based on sound science; 3) requires EPA and states to prevent the degradation of water quality, except under certain circumstances; 4) requires states/tribes to review their water quality standards at least every three years and engage the public in any revisions to water quality standards; and 5) specifies roles of states, tribes, and EPA and provides administrative procedures for EPA's review.
Potential Scope of the Changes
The core requirements of the current regulation have been in place since 1983. These requirements have provided a solid foundation for water quality-based controls that have been put in place since then. The intent of the changes EPA is considering is to improve the regulation's effectiveness by strengthening protection for high quality waters, ensuring that standards reflect a continued commitment to the goals of the Clean Water Act wherever attainable, improving the transparency of standards actions to the general public, and strengthening EPA oversight. Specifically, EPA is considering providing clarity in the following key areas: 1) antidegradation implementation methods, 2) Administrator's determination, 3) designated uses, 4) variances to water quality standards; 5) triennial review scope and requirements, and 6) updating the regulation to reflect court decisions.
Listening Sessions for the Public
EPA will hold two informal public listening sessions via audio teleconference in August 2010 to inform the public about the rulemaking, and to receive views on changes to the water quality standards regulation that are under consideration. The sessions will provide a review of EPA's current regulation and a summary of the clarifications that EPA is considering, and will allow time for questions and comments. You can find additional information about outreach efforts on this Web page.
How to Get Additional Information
As this rulemaking proceeds we will provide information updates on this Web page. If you have questions or comments, you may email Christina Christensen at firstname.lastname@example.com for further information, or send an email to email@example.com.
To receive information updates by email, you may subscribe to EPA's list server forum, "WQS-News." To subscribe or unsubscribe, follow the instructions at https://lists.epa.gov/read/all_forums/ and specify wqs-news as the name of the forum.

Asia's biggest aquarium opened in Chiang Mai in 2008. The vast project, on a 4-acre plot next to the city's zoo, features a walk-through underwater tunnel more than 160 yards long. About 8,000 aquatic creatures, embracing 250 species, stock the aquarium. Several varieties of sharks, including the Great White, swim around visitors as they make their way through the viewing tunnel. More daring visitors can don mask and snorkel and join the big fish in the water (B700). There's also a daily water ballet performance by a stunning mermaid.

One Source Federal Credit Union has earned the distinction of being a Juntos Avanzamos, or "Together we Advance," credit union. The credit union is one of 21 Texas credit unions to have earned this designation from the Texas Credit Union League because it offers bilingual services and information; affordable products and services that fit the needs of Hispanic families; and important financial information to empower Hispanic families.
"The Juntos Avanzamos designation is important to One Source in a number of ways," says One Source FCU President and CEO Bob Peterson. "First, it reiterates our commitment to our community, 82 percent of whom are Hispanic. Second, it represents a real operational commitment in our credit union because it provides a road map to provide even better service to our Hispanic members. Finally, it simply recognizes the importance of the Hispanic population we serve."
The credit union is not being renamed Juntos Avanzamos.
