Great Product.
posted 6 years ago
These types of products are so much more reliable and easier to read than the test strips. They cost a little more than the test strips but you get more readings. Great product to have if you own a fish tank, problems in the tank usually start with bad water parameters and this is the best way to get a head start on the problem.
Pros: Very simple to use.
Cons: None.

Nitrite Home Test Solution
posted 7 years ago
This product has made it so convenient to check the Nitrite levels in my Tropical Fish Tank. It took several weeks to get my tank in balance and it was much easier to test it at home versus running to the fish store so often. 5 drops in the test tube and I had instant results. Great product!
Pros: Convenient
Cons: none

Billionaire Theo Savas didn't need marriage. He'd been there, done that and he wasn't doing it again. Not that it stopped nearly every single woman on the planet trying. Theo wanted space, maybe even a bit of celibacy. So he was furious when he'd just got himself settled in an isolated house on a Greek island--and came downstairs to discover Martha Antonides letting herself in! But forced together, passion overcame them. Eventually, of course, Theo went back to his bachelor lifestyle...and Martha discovered she was pregnant. She knew she couldn't turn to Theo--he was strictly a no-strings man.
RITA Award-winner Anne McAllister was born in California, spent formative summer vacations on the beach near her home and on her grandparents small ranch in Colorado and visiting relatives in Montana. Studying the cowboys, the surfers and the beach volleyball players, she spent long hours developing her concept of "the perfect hero." (Have you noticed a lack of hard-driving Type A businessmen among them? Well, she promises to do one soon, just for a change!).
One thing she did do, early on, was develop a weakness for lean, dark-haired, handsome lone-wolf type guys. When she finally found one, he was in the university library where she was working at the time. It didnt matter. She knew a good man when she saw one.
And they've now been sharing "happily ever afters" for 32 years. They presently have four children, four dogs, and one bionic cat who, contrary to all expectations, is working on his second millennium.
Quite a few years ago they moved to the Midwest, but they spend more and more time in Montana. And as Anne says, she lives there in her head most of the time anyway. She wishes a small town like her very own Elmer, Montana, existed. Shed move there in a minute.
Before she started writing romances, Anne taught Spanish, capped deodorant bottles copyedited textbooks, got a masters degree in theology, and ghostwrote sermons.
It all became grist for the fictional mill as has the family history she likes to learn more about every chance she gets. She might have to try her hand at that historical, after all especially now that she's learned more about that second great-grandfather who claims to have shot 40 men!
In the meantime, though, she is planning more contemporary Code of the West books for Desire and Special Edition, as well as a single-title Code of the West book coming in early 2002, and a trilogy for Harlequin Presents beginning in August 2000. Keep your eye on both series as characters from each are going to start popping up in each others books!

I've had my iPhone 4S officially unlocked by my carrier (Orange France) through Apple.
As instructed by Apple, I restored it in order to fully unlock it. Restoring it is supposed to make the unlock permanent therefore bypassing the need for activation when using different sims.
This worked perfectly until last week (I traveled to the UK and Brazil and used local prepaid cards without having to re-activate it) when I tried using a brand new French Free Mobile sim card. To my surprise, I had to re-activate this iPhone using a wifi connection. This shouldn't have happened as the iPhone had been fully and permanently unlocked by restoring it (iTunes confirmed this after the restoration).
Now, I have to reactivate it every time I want to use a different carrier sim card as if it had lost its permanent unlock.
Activation on a SIM basis works using wifi BUT I shouldn't have to go through this. It looks like the iPhone lost its permanent sim unlock. This is very frustrating. It might not seem like much of a trouble but it is. For instance, when flying to a foreign country, if I want to switch sim cards in the plane, I won't be able to activate the iPhone without wifi connectivity which forces me to "hunt" for a wifi hotspot after landing in order to be able to use my iPhone.
There are many reports of French users having issues with Free sims with either activation or unlock.
My question is simple: if I restore once again my iPhone, how can I be sure the permanent unlock will stay that way if I use a Free Mobile sim card?
Will this problem be fixed soon?
In addition, switching sim cards in a plane is problematic with current firmwares as, when switching sims in a non-permanently unlocked iPhone, wifi is automatically turned on in order to try and activate it without the user actively choosing to do so. So many people will end up having wifi on in a plane when regulation prohibits it.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents the industry's smallest Embedded Dynamic Random Access Memory (eDRAM) implemented in IBM's 22nm SOI technology. The bit cell area of 0.026μm2 achieves ∼60% scaling over the previous generation with deep trench (DT) capacitance optimized for performance and retention requirements. We report, for the first time, the asymmetric embedded stressor, cavity implant, through gate implant, and substrate n-band innovations to maintain aggressive cell scaling for the 22nm eDRAM technology.

Conference Paper: Deposited ALD SiO2 High-k/Metal gate Interface for High Voltage Analog and I/O Devices on Next Generation Alternative Channels and FINFET Device Structures[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A highly reliable SiO2 deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) as a gate dielectric interface layer with high-k/metal gate (HKMG) in high voltage I/O field effect transistor (FETs) for advanced technologies has been demonstrated. Improved process control, better gate oxide conformality, superior dielectric reliability (over CVD SiO2), and equivalent uniformity and reliability compared to thermal oxide proves its usefulness for FinFET/ETSOI I/O devices. In addition, use of ALD SiO2 with novel interface layer results in reduced interfacial regrowth on SiGe channel, which when coupled with post deposition nitridation and annealing optimization for optimal performance, is an attractive oxide optimization option for alternate channel architectures.

Article: Advanced modeling and optimization of high performance 32nm HKMG SOI CMOS for RF/analog SoC applications[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We demonstrate advanced modeling and optimization of 32nm high-K metal gate (HKMG) SOI CMOS technology for high-speed digital and RF/analog system-on-chip applications. To enable high-performance RF/analog circuit design, we present challenging device modeling features and their enhancements. At nominal L poly, floating-body NFET and PFET demonstrate peak f T of 300GHz and fMAX of higher than 350GHz with excellent model-to-hardware accuracy. For precision analog circuit design, body-contacted (BC) FETs and various passives are offered, and their performance and modeling accuracy are co-optimized to push the technology limit and achieve state-of-the-art circuits, e.g., 28Gb/s serial link transceiver and LC-tank VCO operating at higher than 100GHz.

ABSTRACT: We present industry's smallest eDRAM cell and the densest embedded memory integrated into the highest performance 32nm High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) SOI based logic technology. The cell is aggressively scaled at 58% (vs. 45nm) and features the key innovation of High-K Metal (HK/M) stack in the Deep Trench (DT) capacitor. This has enabled 25% higher capacitance and 70% lower resistance compared to conventional SiON/Poly stack at matched leakage and reliability. The HKMG access transistor developed in high performance optimized technology features sub 3fA leakage and well-controlled threshold voltage sigma of 40mV. The fully integrated 32Mb product prototypes demonstrate state of the art performance with excellent retention and yield characteristics. The sub 1.5ns latency and 2ns cycle time have been verified with preliminary testing whereas even better performance is expected with further characterization. In addition, the trench capacitors set the industry benchmark for the most efficient decoupling in any 32nm technology.
Conference Paper: High performance 32nm SOI CMOS with high-k/metal gate and 0.149µm2 SRAM and ultra low-k back end with eleven levels of copper[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This work presents a 32 nm SOI CMOS technology featuring high-k/metal gate and an SRAM cell size of 0.149 mum2. Vmin operation down to 0.6 V in a 16 Mb SRAM array test vehicle has been demonstrated. Aggressive ground rules are achieved with 193 nm immersion lithography. High performance is enabled by high-k/metal gate plus innovation on strained silicon elements including embedded SiGe and dual stress liner (DSL). Gate lengths down to 25 nm have been demonstrated enabling performance without the power penalty from gate capacitance. AC drive currents of 1.55 mA/um and 1.22 mA/um have been achieved at an off-state of 100 nA/mum and VDD of 1 V for NFET and PFET, respectively. For the first time, we have also demonstrated that SOI maintains performance benefit over bulk silicon in high-k/metal gate and 32 nm ground rules.
Conference Paper: High-performance nMOSFET with in-situ phosphorus-doped embedded Si:C (ISPD eSi:C) source-drain stressor[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: For the first time, embedded Si:C (eSi:C) was demonstrated to be a superior nMOSFET stressor compared to SMT or tensile liner (TL) stressors. eSi:C nMOSFET showed higher channel mobility and drive current over our best poly-gate 45 nm-node nMOSFET with SMT and tensile liner stressors. In addition, eSi:C showed better scalability than SMT plus tensile liner stressors from 380 nm to 190 nm poly-pitches.
Conference Paper: Extending Dual Stress Liner Process to High Performance 32nm Node SOI CMOS Manufacturing[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Dual stress liner process for high performance SOI CMOS technology at 32 nm technology node is improved through the use of dep-etch-dep, etch back, and spacer removal techniques. The stress benefit of DSL is preserved with improved gap fill for the manufacturing of sub-32 nm gate length transistors.

ABSTRACT: This paper discusses the fundamental challenges and reports the recent progress in enabling embedded Si:C (eSi:C) nMOS source/drain stressor technology. A thick oxide (SiON, Toxgl ~ 26Aå) long channel (Lgate in the range of 80nm-110nm, gate-pitch =336nm) nMOS device was used as the main test structure to evaluate the impact of eSi:C stressor to the device electrical characteristics, such as channel mobility and drive current. It was demonstrated that modifying the conventional Si CMOS fabrication process to accommodate the intrinsically meta-stable eSi:C material property is crucial in keeping carbon in its substitutional site thus to preserve strain in the eSi:C stressor throughout the device fabrication process. Significant channel mobility and drive current enhancement was demonstrated in the thick-oxide long-channel nMOS devices using in situ phosphorus-doped (ISPD) epitaxial eSi:C source/drain material.

ABSTRACT: As CMOS devices further scale down, the variation of electrical parametric becomes significant and is critical for VLSI design. However, the difficulty in device statistical modeling also increases. The parasitics and second-order effect are not negligible, and the impact of process variations on device parametrics are usually correlated, which complicates the extraction of industry standard models (e.g. BSIM). Moreover, there is a critical trade-off on the number of independent variates in the model: too many variates makes the simulation and design impractical, while too few makes the statistics modeled incorrect. In this paper, for the first time, a novel strategy to determine the independent variates of the state-of-the-art CMOS technology without losing simplicity and accuracy is demonstrated, and a statistical modeling approach using these variates is presented. This modeling methodology is applied to characterize IBM 65nm SOI device. It directly shows major variations of the technology, and greatly reduces the model complexity. Moreover, it exhibits excellent model-hardware agreement on a large number of samples. The simplified model offers an explicit electrical approach to analyze the control of key process steps. It is well fit for advanced device technology characterization and VLSI design.
Conference Paper: RTA-Driven Intra-Die Variations in Stage Delay, and Parametric Sensitivities for 65nm Technology[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report, for the first time, a detailed study of intra-die variation (IDV) of CMOS inverter delay for the 65nm technology, driven by mm-scale variations of rapid thermal annealing (RTA). We find that variation in VT and REXT accounts for most of the IDV in delay and leakage and is modulated by lamp RTA ramp rate. We show a good correlation of inverter delay to mm-scale variation in the predicted reflectivity of the device pattern densities
Conference Paper: Gate postdoping to decouple implant/anneal for gate, source/drain, and extension: Maximizing polysilicon gate activation for 0.1 mu m CMOS technologies[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a systematic study on maximizing polysilicon gate activation for aggressively scaled 0.1 μm CMOS technologies. The fundamental limit of gate activation due to poly depletion effect was investigated in terms of gate implant/anneal condition and sequence, poly grain size, dopant penetration and activation. For the first time, we achieved significant improvement in CMOS performance by developing a novel process of "gate postdoping" to decouple implant and anneals for gate, source/drain, and extension. The method successfully reduces the poly depletion effect and thus the equivalent gate oxide thickness in inversion by up to ∼2 Å, improving CMOS on-currents by 9∼33% over a conventional process.
Conference Paper: A high performance 0.13 μm SOI CMOS technology with Cu interconnects and low-k BEOL dielectric[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper describes a 1.2V high performance 0.13 μm generation SOI technology. Aggressive ground-rules and a tungsten damascene local interconnect render the densest 6T SRAM reported to date with a cell area of 2.16 μm2. This is accomplished with 248nm lithography, using optical proximity correction and resolution enhancement techniques on all critical levels. Interconnect performance requirements are achieved by using up to 8 levels of Cu wiring and an advanced low-k interlevel dielectric
Conference Paper: Sub-60 nm physical gate length SOI CMOS[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This work addresses the design and optimization of high performance CMOS devices in the sub-60 nm regime. Aggressive scaling of the poly gate length is achieved by controlling the short-channel effects in partially-depleted SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) CMOS devices. In addition, SOI specific design issues are examined to reduce device parasitics such as junction capacitance and history effect through the optimization of silicon film thickness. A high performance SOI CMOS with well-behaved 52 nm gate length devices is demonstrated

I just committed this... I ran it with 1.7.0 and it works fine...
533_2 is a new patch - it allows building with 1.7.0 (while still fixing the original problem)
reopening - the "erroronemptydir" only works with ant 1.7.1, I will provide a new patch to get it working with 1.7.0 again.
I just committed this. thanks pat.
Turns out fileset fails if "erroronmissingdir" is not set to false (defaults to true)
I fixed this (added the attr as false) and also cleaned up the code a bit (moved the common build code into the reused build xml file)
double clean works with this.

Report suggests infectious connection to chronic diseases
WASHINGTON, DC � April 22, 2005 � The aging population increase in the US and throughout the developed world appears to correlate with a switch from acute infectious diseases to chronic diseases as the major cause of morbidity and mortality. Some diseases like ulcers and certain types of cancer, once thought to be primarily related to lifestyle factors, are now known to be caused by microorganisms, and many more syndromes, including some psychiatric conditions, may have a connection to infection, according to a report released today by the American Academy of Microbiology.
"A number of chronic human illnesses are triggered, either directly or indirectly, by microorganisms," says Ronald Luftig of the Louisiana State University Medical Center, one of the authors of the report, Microbial Triggers of Chronic Human Illness. "Other diseases, including some extremely common and devastating conditions, exhibit characteristics that indicate they may have an infectious etiology as well. Over 90 million Americans live with chronic illnesses, conditions that account for 70 percent of all deaths in the United States. Researching the causes of these chronic illnesses, infectious or otherwise, will lead to the development of therapies, cures and strategies for prevention that will affect the lives of millions of individuals."
Up until the late 20th century, health professionals believed that chronic diseases such as peptic ulcers and cervical cancer were caused in part by lifestyle factors such as diet, stress and exposure to environmental toxins. In the last several decades, researchers have compiled strong evidence that most peptic ulcers are caused by an infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori and can be treated with antibiotics. An infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), the cause of genital warts, appears to be the cause of cervical and other cancers.
In addition to H. pylori and HPV, the report lists 30 other microorganisms for which there exists strong evidence of an associated chronic disease. The report also lists over 40 other chronic diseases, including heart disease, Alzheimer's and schizophrenia, which are suspected of having an infectious cause.
Proving causation is difficult. Scientists have traditionally applied a series of tests, known as Koch's postulates, to establish that a specific microorganism does indeed cause the associated disease. Because of the complex nature of chronic illnesses, oftentimes it is not practical or even possible to use Koch's postulates to prove the infectious nature of chronic illness. The report recommends that new criteria for evaluating the strength of association between microbes and chronic illnesses be developed.
"Atherosclerosis, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease are all devastating chronic illnesses that cost millions of dollars in healthcare every year and exact incalculable tolls of pain and suffering. Each of these diseases was once thought to be caused exclusively by environmental exposures or genetic predisposition. Now they are all suspected of being in infectious diseases," says Luftig.
The report is the outcome of a colloquium convened by the Academy in June 2004 to discuss the microbial causes of chronic diseases. Research professionals from the fields of microbiology, medicine, oncology, vaccine development, immunology and other related fields participated in discussing topics related to pathogens and chronic illnesses.

PH people,here is the bigger shock,the almighty presenter of Positive Vibes,a gospel TV show on RSTV and a girl who doubles as an actress,producer and script writer,I'm talkin about Stephnora Jacob,can you believe she picked a fight with an actress?,no wonder she is so controversial!
You want to know who else was part of this disgrace to Nollywood?,some directors and producers! There are so may actors,I just don't remember their names,the guy that acted Labista and another PH actor Bobby Ogwoloma.
people what do you think?,I wish I took pics!

A new Miss Fountain Valley was crowned for the first time in almost 20 years Saturday night at the Saigon Performing Arts Center in Fountain Valley.
Andrea Licata, an 18-year-old economics major at UC Irvine, was awarded a total of $5,500 in scholarships in being named Miss Fountain Valley 2012 and winning the talent competition for her piano performance of "Enchanted Waterfall" by Martha Miers.
"I can't even describe it, I had no idea I would win," Licata said. "I couldn't be happier."
Licata is a Costa Mesa resident who was eligible to enter the pageant, as were applicants from the cities of Los Alamitos, Cypress and Stanton, because those cities were included in the eligibility area, along with Fountain Valley.
Licata's "platform," or charitable cause in the pageant's parlance, is creating awareness for the importance of early breast-cancer detection.
First runner-up Aimee Le, second runner-up Valerie Kraus and third runner-up Sophia Lam were awarded $2,500, $2,000 and $1,500 in scholarships, respectively.
Le also was the winner of the evening gown competition and an additional $500 scholarship.
Taylor Benay Palitz, who attends Fountain Valley High School, was awarded a $500 platform scholarship for her work in helping impoverished children.
"Others had platforms for what they wanted to do once they became Miss Fountain Valley, but one gal was already doing it," said Dave Osborn, co-owner of Fountain Bowl, who presented the Kelly Osborn Memorial Fund sponsored platform-scholarship award.
The pageant awarded a total of $12,750 in scholarships.
"(Pageant scholarships) paid for my student loans at USC and almost all of my grad school," said Miss California 2009 and Miss America 2010 first runner-up Kristy Cavinder-Frontiera, who was the event's mistress of ceremonies.
The Miss Congeniality award, voted on by the Miss Fountain Valley contestants, went to Jeanamarie Pirio. A Fountain Valley resident since age 3, Pirio attended Fountain Valley High School and is currently studying biology at Cal State Long Beach.
Miss Fountain Valley's duties will include representing the city in public appearances throughout the year and at the Miss California Pageant in June for a chance to be crowned Miss America in January.
"Every single one of the young women you have seen tonight has worked hard. We have bright, talented, articulate and beautiful women, and I'm very proud of them," said Keeli Scott Lisack, executive director of the pageant.

Yummy!!! Need to be a fan of grapefruit/tart citrus for this drink, which I am. I don't generally keep club soda on hand so I did substitute Sprite Zero, but other wise followed the recipe, which may have made a little sweeter, but I know I would like it with the soda, as I eat a half of a grapefruit almost every morning. I used fresh grapefruit juice, so not so pink in color. I loved the saltiness to the drink. Thanks for sharing. Made for PRMR Tag Game.

Coloradans would be asked in November to overhaul the state's rigid personnel rules if lawmakers pass legislation that would send a ballot measure to voters.
The ballot measure would square with priorities laid out by Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat whose administration says the personnel system needs a major update.
"Things that might have made sense in the '60s, enough has changed that we need to update our constitution to deal with those changes," said House Minority Leader Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, who, along with Sen. Keith King, R-Colorado Springs, is sponsoring the legislation to refer the ballot measure to voters next fall.
It would take a two-thirds vote in each chamber to put a constitutional measure before voters.
"I'm rather optimistic that the changes are something that we could get bipartisan support for," King said.
And if approved by voters, the measure would amend the state constitution to:
- Change the current testing system for job applicants from one that uses a strictly "competitive" test to a "comparative" test.
"Maybe it's oral boards, maybe it's essays," Ferrandino said.
- Change the current rule that limits the number of finalists for a job that can be considered to three and increase the number to six.
- Increase the amount of time state agencies can employ temporary workers from six months to nine months.
- Change the current requirement that says applicants for most jobs have to be Colorado residents and give the state personnel director some discretion to alter the requirement. The change also would allow out-of-state applicants for jobs that are within 30 miles of the state's border, where requiring only in-state applicants often makes it hard to fill jobs with qualified applicants.
- Redraw membership on the state personnel board so that members serve three-year, rather than five-year, terms and limits them to two terms. In addition, two members would serve at the governor's pleasure.
The lawmakers also are sponsoring a companion piece of legislation to the referred measure that would make changes in state law dealing with the personnel system.
That bill would reform the state's current performance-based pay system and replace it with a system that would be based partly on performance and partly on length of service.
Regardless of the new structure, there still would have to be money to fund any raises and lawmakers would still have to approve them. State workers have not had pay hikes for four years.
Colleges and universities would be free to enact their own merit pay systems.
Also, the bill would limit "bumping rights" that now allow senior employees who are laid off to take the positions of more junior ones if they meet the minimum qualifications.
The bill would only allow employees who are within five years of retirement to have bumping rights, would require departments to have specified layoff rules and would require departments to give benefits to laid-off employees that might include hiring preferences, health benefits, training and severance pay.
Scott Wasserman, executive director of Colorado WINS, a union representing state workers, said his organization believed the overall set of reforms was acceptable.
"We've been active participants in the conversation and our goal throughout has been to protect merit, protect jobs and fight for a new pay system," Wasserman said. "There's been a good give and take, and I think the package that will be introduced reflects many of the concerns that we've brought to the table."

Since Barbara Freedman moved to the exclusive Rittenhouse Square area two years ago, she's increasingly found herself running into an unexpected neighbor at the park: Rats.
Freedman and others who live near the Center City park, or visit it, say they've been sighting the vermin more frequently in recent months. City officials acknowledge the problem and say a number of efforts have been taken to curb the square's rat population.
"I think it's horrifying," Freedman said. She said she frequently spots the critters on the northeast end of the park, near the trash cans and bushes at 18th and Walnut streets.
"I never realized that this would be in my neighborhood," she said.

Chicken, Corn, and Lima-Bean Stew
Chicken thighs are the best choice for this recipe; they are juicier after cooking than chicken breasts, and the meat shreds more easily.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, March 2005
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 6 plum tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen lima beans, thawed
Heat oil in a Dutch oven (or other 5-quart pot) over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell pepper, thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir in tomato paste; add chicken, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cover, and cook until chicken is opaque throughout, about 15 minutes.
Remove chicken from pot; stir in corn and lima beans, and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, shred chicken meat with your fingers or a fork. Return chicken to pot, and stir to combine.

I'm back blogging again after a very busy four months and a short vacation (in Switzerland & Italy) that was much needed. I spoke at the Pakistan Developers Conference as well as hosted two security events in Nigeria, Ghana and two DevDays events in Mauritius and Réunion Islands (French translated) with the help of my usual gang of speakers, Malek & Goksin as well as Gurkan Salk & Mr. Nasser Ghazi, Director of Evangelism, Middle East & Africa. That lead to the official launch of the Mauritius DotNET User Group recently that i had the priviledge of speaking at with the press and media certainly covering the event very well.

Recently we also got the first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) in West, East & Central Africa nominated, Mr. Francois Bonin, a rude bwoy from Ghana, specialising in Visual C#, a true champ & contributor to the youth in AfricaDotNet. More Fire!

Just three days ago October 5th 2004 in Nairobi, Kenya, we had a very succesfull event with Australian Regional Director, Adam Cogan speaking on the following topics:

15 tips for Real World Windows Forms Applications
A big peek at ASP .NET 2.0 Whidbey Applications
Up and Running with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services
Combining Exchange Data, SQL Data and SQL Reporting Services
eXtreme Programming for .NET Developers

Certainly a great event which went on till 8:30pm! Developers were very very happy indeed; i bet you didnt know Aussies dont drink Fosters beer but VB (Victoria Bitter) instead. Adam, Steve & Richard, you guys have fun climbing the highest mountain in Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro!!!

Highlights of the my last few weeks

I was a speaker at the Microsoft Technology Week in Saudia Arabia (May 15th -May 18th 2004) where we did a 3 city tour (Riyadh, Jeddah & Khobar) amongst other speakers like Hans Verbeeck and Gurkan Salk.

I hosted the Microsoft DevDays Ethiopia (May 27th 2004) which was very successful

The most exciting of all was the launch of the AfricaDotNet User group website http://www.africadotnet.org on May 22nd 2004 that will host a community of African developers all over the continent. Good to go!

MSDNArchivehttp://blogs.msdn.com/MSDNArchive/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxMicrosoft Localizing Kiswahilihttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/lmungai/archive/2004/05/11/129841.aspx2004-05-11T19:12:00Z2004-05-11T19:12:00Z
Microsoft has a launched a global initiative termed Local Language program, to provide desktop software and tools to government customers by collaborating with local experts governments, universities and other interested parties to help build a robust local IT economy. To this end, Kiswahili was chosen as one of the languages to be initiated as one of the languages to be included in future releases of the Windows Longhorn and Office 2003 Standard Edition (Word, Excel, Power Point and Outlook). The goals of the project are to:

To bridge the digital divide between developed and emerging markets and within emerging markets. Localization of Kiswahili will bridge the gap in technology between the developed nations and the Kiswahili speakers in the East and <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on">Central Africa</st1:place> region.

To preserve language and culture. Technology impacts language and culture in a positive way. Kiswahili language will therefore be preserved.

To incorporate 40 new languages in the coming twelve months to the Windows OS and Office Applications. Kiswahili is among the languages considered for localization. Languages currently being localized vary from 30,000 speakers as in Inuktitut to 250 million speakers in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Indonesia</st1:country-region></st1:place>.

The goals would further enhance the Microsoft's long term plan to:

Continue with traditional localization plans for existing markets. Microsoft will continue with traditional localization strategy. Languages that had shipped as SKUs will continue to ship e.g. French. Kiswahili will be evaluated as a Language Interface Pack or partial/localization. These means that Kiswahili will be available as a skin layer to an existing licensed windows and Office copy.

Put a global process in place for enabling more scripts. We will need to ensure we support additional scripts such as Sinhalese, Yigur, etc. In the long term Kiswahili scripts will be included

Natural progression of localization into regional/sub-regional languages and emerging markets. The Language Interface Pack initiative is the natural growth for localization. Microsoft has been involved in localization for the past 15+ years.

Developmentor's Guerilla.NET one week course in Istanbul, Turkey has been a great success, i've had a great time. Prior to coming here, i was in Dubai for the Microsoft Research Academic Days. I met two MS Program Managers, Peter Dreyton (CLR) and Alex Laskos(SQL Server -WebData XML) during the event where we got to hang out and "speak". So yes, i got to seethat famous 7 star hotel plus more, its been a great week!

MSDNArchivehttp://blogs.msdn.com/MSDNArchive/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxGreat Day at Microsoft DevDays Kenya 2004http://blogs.msdn.com/b/lmungai/archive/2004/04/22/118282.aspx2004-04-22T19:50:00Z2004-04-22T19:50:00Z
So i just came from back from the venue where we just concluded DevDays Kenya 2004. It was a great event, the turnout, the speakers, the stage setup and more. The Stage Lighting was done by the same company that did the lighting for Sean Paul when he was here on tour so i was blown away by the job they did to setup the ".NET" stage. The speakers did a terrific job, much thanks to Malek and more so Goksin who rushed from the airport straight to the event and got to JIT Speak for his two sessions. The both also did some Avalon and Whidbey demos at the closing Keynote which definitely left the crowd buzzed. So what's next ? I'm off to Dubai tomorrow for the Microsoft Research Academic Days where i get to hang out with guys who have allot to say about Rotor's in depths. I also get to hopefully see the very beautiful Burj Al Arab Hotel and hang out with some friends i have there, I'm leaving my credit card at home this time !

I am all geared up for Kenya's truest Developer Days Event this coming Thursday April 22nd. Truest because this time, the Marketing folks did an exhaustive profiling campaign to find and fish out developers in the region. Developers' reaction? Where have you guys been !? Its about time you hosted events here for developers! A great lineup of speakers is in order, AbdelMakel Kemmou, Goksin (Motorbike) Bakir, Nasser Ghazi (My boss), Gurkan Salk & Myself of course.

My Easter last weekend was a blast; I went to the Sean Paul Concert at the Carnivore Gardens in Nairobi, his first tour in Africa (big thanks to Microsoft for treating us with tickets). The fact that he spoke some swahili during the concert (especially for di ladies) and also sang some Bob Marley classics made it oh so wicked. I know the rude bwoys ina di crowd loved his on stage perfomers, i did, those lady performers "Shaked that thang". Of the groups that opened up the concert, i must say Necessary Noize took the crown, their two singles of their new album "Kenyan Boy" and the # 1 hit "Bless my room" had the crowd in harmony, more fire !! His best cut of the night ? "Infiltrate", like Chris GoldFinger always says, "Dancehall nice again".

Nairobi, Kenya: The Sunny Saturday morning of March 20th 2004 saw the Nairobi .NET User group go live with an initial attendance of 20 developers. We met at the local Microsoft Office and had some initial discussions on the future and direction of the group. Later I did a "What is .NET" presentation as well as a demo that got us into perpsective and brought some very interesting questions from the audience. Microsoft had some pizza and beef skewers ready to crown the event which ended with each of the attendees getting a copy of the Microsoft Football 247 DVD which is a great resource for .NET beginners.

3DS Unlikely to Feature Achievements System
Posted by James Newton
Finer points still being thrashed out
After the 3DS's big reveal at E3 this year, a series of videos hit the 'net showing various developers and publishers talking about how exciting the machine was for them. One such video featured EA's Ryan Stradling, who spoke about the 3DS's online features including the potential for an Xbox 360-style Achievements system. Now German website PlanetDS.de has broken the news that such a feature is unlikely.
Nintendo's Harald Ebert told the site during Gamescom that the console will likely not have a global Achievement system, though no other information was forthcoming. Ebert also confirmed again that the machine's visual styling is still to be decided and could change between now and launch, with Capcom recently stating that the final D-Pad will be different.
Would you be pleased or disappointed if the 3DS launched without Achievements?

Dogs Versus You Lyrics
Dogs Versus You Song Lyrics
Harry: Alright, you're following us. Who are you?
Annabel: My card.
H: Ms. Annabel Glick,
Representative of the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn?
A: We were your late uncle's favorite charity
H: Don't tell me you've come all this way for a handout
A: I have come all this way for the money Mr. Witherspoon
All six million dollars of it. You see,
There are dogs in despair, who need shelter and care
And who don't have a bone to chew
You have pink satin sheets; they spend nights on the streets
It's the dogs, the dogs, it's the dogs versus you
We are down on our needs braving rabies and fleas
It's a job someone has to do
We need food, we need tags, doggie toys, doggie bags
For the dogs
Both: The dogs
A: It's the dogs versus you
How I wish you could meet the needy dogs I've known.
H: Oh please.
A: How much good you could do in the greater NY area alone.
Picture one (no) hungry hound (no)
Picture pups (no) at the pound (no)
Or the poor (no) little lost shiatsu
H: Who?
A: Think of beagles (no) who beg (no)
St. Bernards (no) with no keg
It's the dogs.
H: I hate dogs
A: You hate dogs?
H: Oh how I wish (needy dogs) you could see (hungry dogs)
The kind of life I've had (25,000 starving dogs)
If you think (save the dogs) I'll go back
You're absolutely, positively mad
A: I'm prepared
H: So am I
A: This is
Both: do or die
It's so nice that we both agree
It's the dogs, the dogs
A: Versus you
H: And you
Both: Versus me. After you

Jim Johannson, of USA Hockey, sits down for an Olympics Q & A
Jim Johannson is a native of Rochester and a two-time member of the Olympic Ice Hockey team (1988 and 1992). After starring at the collegiate level for the University of Wisconsin, Johannson played in Europe and in the IHL before spending three years coaching the former Twin Cities Vulcans of the USHL. In 2000, he joined USA Hockey and now, as assistant director of hockey operations, he serves as a name architect for assembling the Men's team, among myriad other duties.
Just prior to the beginning of the games, Johannson made time to talk to City Pages about the outlook for the Men's team at these 2010 Vancouver Games.
Judd Spicer: How would you explain your own role and responsibility in selecting the Men's Olympic Hockey Team?
Jim Johannson: I was involved in the Management group that has evaluated the players over the past two seasons - Brian Burke (Toronto) is the GM of the team along with David Poile (Nashville) and we had a group of NHL GM's on our working committee - Paul Holmgren (Philadelphia), Don Waddell (Atlanta), Dean Lombardi (Los Angeles) and Ray Shero (Pittsburgh). At the Olympic Games I will mostly handle all the daily hockey operations, schedule, and just fulfilling all the team and staff needs.
J.S.: Prior to injury considerations, the average player age on the Men's team was just 26.5 years and has only three guys with previous Olympic experience. To what to you namely attribute the youth movement for Vancouver?
J.J.: The depth of our player pool has never been better and we have a young core of players that are ready for the Olympic stage - they have proven that every night in the NHL. In the
end, the players really select the team by their performance on the ice, though young we have a lot of players that have been very successful with USA Hockey at other International Tournaments - namely the World Juniors and the World Championships.
J.S.: Compared to your 2006 Olympic Men's team when you had three players that came via your National Development Team system, this year you have seven such skaters. Is that a concerted effort to go with guys that have spent more ice time together?
J.J.: I think it just shows the evolution of NTDP and the depth of players that have come through the program - from an "age eligible" standpoint there are 7 players out of 18 that fall into an age category that they could have played at NTDP - (the older guys we didn't have NTDP at the age when they came through). We are proud of that number and feel that NTDP has been successful in training players to be able to play at the highest level. Saying that, we are equally as proud of the many great programs - from grass roots hockey, high school hockey and junior hockey that have developed these wonderful players.
J.S.: Your Men's roster appears to be a great mesh of varied skill sets. Is that at all a result of, say, the way the Olympic hoops "Dream Teams" of yore evolved from going with the "best" players, to puzzling together the best "team"?
J.J.: We had several selections on this team that are designed to play a role, if you will, within a successful team. We have scorers, we have bangers, we have size, we have speed, power play guys, penalty killers, good faceoff guys - these are just a few of the areas that went into the selections. We also have a very versatile group of forwards that can be especially effective in several roles and play anywhere from our top scoring line to the checking roles.
J.S.: Your roster has goaltenders Tim Thomas, Ryan Miller and Jonathan Quick. I've read that Miller is the favorite to see the majority of ice time. Is that accurate or yet-to-be determined?
J.J.: Ryan has obviously had an excellent season to date - overall we are happy with all three goalies and that will be a coaching decision. Tim Thomas is the reigning Vezina winner,
Jonathon Quick leads the NHL in wins and, as mentioned, Ryan Miller is certainly on his way to both a Vezina and possible MVP type season. Goaltending is always a key in short events - we are very pleased and comfortable with all three guys.
J.S.: Did you ever gather that moving on from some of the "Old Guard" NHL players ever upset any of the veterans?
J.J.: The nature of every player, especially at the NHL level, is to want to play in big games and I certainly feel that many players felt they deserved to be selected to the team. All the reports I have seen, and some of the players I have spoken to not selected, have been genuine in wanting USA Hockey to perform well at the Olympics. We had so many great players serve us for many years and they have been the guys that garnered USA Hockey the respect we now have on the International stage - for that we are very appreciative. It is always difficult to leave great players off a roster...time will tell if we have made the right selections.
J.S.: Since "Miracle on Ice" in 1980, the Men have medaled just once (silver in 2002). How would you handicap your chances this year against the likes of Canada, Russia, Sweden, Finland and the Czech Republic?
J.J.: On paper, and it has been stated by several, the "experts" think we will be a factor, but not able to unseat the countries you mention. I say that is why we play the games ! Bottom line, I like our players, the chemistry and know how hard the guys will play. In the end at

Excellent work man!

Ur very accomplished
Hottest ex-terrorist ever
Is it weird that I love the style and shape of the headdress over anything else?
The composition, color and shading are great, it's just... I don't think breasts work like that.
This is epic, the tone and use of colour is amazing.
in a word... sexy ♥
Very good work indeed
Maan, I'mso envious ^^you're just as great with traditional as digital
Beautiful piece! I imagine the original looks even richer. Seriously great blending on the skin tones.
Meh ....... good work as usual, even when is uses half decent tools and materials.... you are a wizard
Amazing work!
as always, amazing work... how long have you been doing art?
As always of course ^^
As always of course ^^
Love it!
Isn't it great when you pick up the tube and the lid's glued down solid and the paint is so hard you could kill a zombie with it? Nice pic and I understand about the red. The red was the only one still liquid, right?
Muy bueno.
she looks beautiful
With each art of yours I become more fan. Is it even possible?
What a fantastic bit of work! even more impressive is the fact that it's traditional. Awesome shading and blending.
Wow! That's incredible, buddy!
Nice work!
Love the subtle shading and the characterization. Keep up the great work
Wow .. that's awesome
This is awesome, it kinda has a cool, 60s edge about it !
digital is way easier (all praise ctrl+z, the Master of digital artwork) but you get the same effects in analog. gotta love that.
Totally in luv...
Now i understand the poor of pietro... Jk...
Now i understand the poor of pietro... Jk...
Oh wow, nicely done
Superb! I like the way you work with acrylics. Make them look different than normal applications.
Very awesome! Hope she can look this good in Avengers 2.
Nice one
This is awesome.
shopping for art supplies (especially paint) is really really fun until u get to the cashier... ^^"
Very red! I tried drawing her but I didn't like the end result. But your Scarlet witch is impeccable!

P-38J Lightning "Pudgy" - DO NOT USE
The Lockheed P-38J was the only American fighter in continuous production throughout America's involvement in the war, with P-38J and P-38L-LO being the primary production variants. While there were some teething problems for the aircraft, the P-38 proved to be a very reliable fighter, notable for its speed. The P-38 was the aircraft of choice for America's two top aces of World War II, Richard Bong and Thomas McGuire. After the war, P-38s were phased out of American military service and sold to the militar
