Why does my iPad 2 say not charging when I connect it to my computer? My computer is not in hibernation mode and I am using the computer while I have the iPad plugged in.
Your computer isn't a Mac.
More specifically, the USB standard specifies that the output for a USB port is 5V at 500 mA for USB 2 (and raised to 5V at 900 mA max for USB 3). According to the USB standard, a low-power device may only draw 110 mA (also called a "unit load") which is the default unless the device negotiates with the USB controller to receive more power.
On Macintosh computers, the USB ports permit devices to negotiate up to a 10-unit (1100 mA) load on the port. The iPad 2 comes with a 10W charger (5V x 2000 mA) and "charges" when plugged into a USB source that provides at least 5W of power (5V x 1000 mA).
Conventional home computers generally do not have USB hardware capable of supplying more than the standard 2.5W (5V x 500 mA) of USB 2.
You should use the charger provided with your iPad. However, if you plug in your iPad to your USB port, it will charge, just very very slowly (compared to the proper charger).

Taking action to support rural women
Tackling hunger requires moving from talk to action in ensuring that women farmers have equal access to agricultural resources and an equal voice in decision making at all levels, FAO said this week, as a high-level UN meeting put gender equality and women's empowerment at the top of the agenda.
Beyond words
Women grow more than half of the world's food, yet often lack access to resources such as agricultural inputs, land, financing, technologies, training and markets. At a side event jointly organized by FAO, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Food Programme (WFP) during the Annual Ministerial Review of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), participants examined how to overcome critical gaps in the advancement of rural women.
The event, From Dialogue to action: how to promote the empowerment of rural women in agriculture, looked at efforts in a number of countries to take action on critical issues facing rural women.

Later, before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Republican Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina repeatedly challenged Clinton's claim to have looked at the tragedy with "clear eyes," saying she should have personally ensured security at the mission.
He said Clinton had "let the consulate become a death trap" in denying requests for additional security and called it "malpractice."
Clinton said she could have let the review board's report remain classified and told Congress "goodbye" before leaving office. But she said, it's "not who I am. It's not what I do."
In a second round of questioning on Wednesday, Clinton testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee where Republican members pressed her on why cables and other memos about security deficiencies in Benghazi seemed to be ignored.
"The dots here were connected ahead of time. The State Department saw this was coming," said Rep. Ed Royce, R-Brea, the chairman of the panel. "The State Department didn't act."
Clinton told lawmakers the department is implementing the 29 recommendations of the review board and going beyond the proposals, with a special focus on high-threat posts.
"Nobody is more committed to getting this right," she said. "I am determined to leave the State Department and our country safer, stronger, and more secure."
Nonetheless, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., dismissed her explanation of events, the administration's response to warnings about the deteriorating security situation in Libya and even the attention paid to Libya after rebels toppled Moammar Gadhafi. "The answers, frankly, that you've given this morning are not satisfactory to me," McCain said.
To McCain, a friend that Clinton served with in the Senate, she replied matter-of-factly: "We just have a disagreement. We have a disagreement about what did happen and when it happened with respect to explaining the sequence of events."

Burlington Realty marks 60 years in Riverside
By Joanne Kosey
Located on Burlington Road in Riverside on a site which is believed to originally be a grocery store is Burlington Realty, which celebrated 60 years in business last month. It is believed to be the oldest business in the village.
Originally known as Lund Realty and located on Ogden Avenue, it became Burlington Realty when Len Janus, a Lund employee, moved the business to its present site on East Burlington Street.
Janus, originally from Iowa, and his wife, Janice, were active in the community as well as maintaining the realty business. Janus retired in 1990, but it in 1986 he hired a Riverside resident named Judy Jisa.
Jisa was studying to be a court reporter, but also had her real estate license. A call from Janus to come work for him changed Jisa's career path. She purchased Burlington Realty from Janus when he retired.
The roster of employees has grown to 14. Among that group are Carole Peters and Joan Damore Wert, who were also hired by Janus. Over the years, the business has become somewhat of a family affair Jisa's two daughters, Sara Baker and Wendy Dockter, and her son-in-law, Jeff Baker, working there. Other long-timers include Brian Brennan, who you can count on to be talking with people as he makes his way to work, and Sharon Weiss and Carol Creadon, hurrying with their cellphones to their ears.
A small celebration was held recently at the office for clients past and present. Of course, a few changes in the office have been made over the years. Jisa laughed when she told of the old phone system and an old copy machine. Needless to say they were replaced quickly. Today you can usually recognize a Realtor by the fact that they have their cell phones close at hand.
So happy anniversary to Burlington Realty, and here's to many more years as Riverside's oldest business.
Interesting note, Judy Jisa's family, with eight grandchildren, some living in Riverside, now become the eighth generation of members of the Cross family to reside in the village.
The question now is what is the next oldest business in Riverside? We think it may be Aunt Diana's. Riverside Plumbing? Higgins Glass has been in business a long time, but it was not always in Riverside. Inquiring minds want to know. I wonder about Brookfield? You may have the answers.

Silver service at hospitality school
Relevant offers
A private hospitality training school for those struggling in mainstream education has turned 25, but its manager says new funding rules may affect the quality of future courses.
The Nelson Training Centre in Hardy St opened up for lunchtime drinks and finger food on Friday to celebrate the milestone, with former students and staff served by current students.
Training manager David Agnew said it did not feel like 25 years, because every course was different because the people were different.
The school offers "second chance" education to those who have not succeeded in mainstream schooling, with students coming via the Youth Guarantee Scheme, the Training for Work Scheme, and the Straight to Work Scheme.
Most students had very little confidence when they first arrived at the course, but their self-esteem grew as they progressed through the course, he said.
"Nobody's a failure or stupid. We're giving them the opportunity to learn by doing and by practice and repetition.
"Once they tap into their own learning capacity they feel better about themselves."
The school opens to the public as a cafe on Thursdays, and hosts dinner for community groups on Friday.
A large number of hospitality staff around Nelson, working at cafes such as Yaza and the Suter Cafe, had studied at the training centre, he said.
"A couple of years ago I went into Hopgood's [Restaurant & Bar] and all of the staff that were on that night were ex-students. That's pretty amazing."
The emphasis was in getting the students into jobs, rather than earning academic qualifications, he said.
Last year, 77 per cent of students there under the Youth Guarantee Scheme had employment by the end of the course.
But from 2013 the Tertiary Education Commission is changing the way funding is delivered for the Youth Guarantee Scheme, moving from a per-learner system to one based on Equivalent Full-Time Student places.
Youth Guarantee students will now need to be enrolled in at least one qualification worth 60 credits, equivalent to about half an equivalent fulltime place.
To qualify for the same level of funding, the school will need to either increase the credits, and therefore hours, that each student studies for, or increase the number of students.
This meant the system was moving away from getting students into jobs, and into meeting performance targets, Mr Agnew said.
"At the end of the day it's about people's personal success."
In a compromise, he had decided to make his course worth the equivalent of 95 credits, but this was still pushing the limits of what was possible, he said.
Students Gina Prestidge, 16, and Mackenzie Laurie, 18, have both landed on their feet at the course after leaving Nayland College early. Ms Laurie said she had struggled at school, often missing class because she was not interested, but had always had a desire to try hospitality.
"I'm a people person, I just like to deal with people."
One of the more useful skills they had developed was dealing with difficult customers: "Somebody who has no patience, who doesn't understand that we're a training centre, who doesn't care about how big the line."
She has landed a job at Petite Fleur restaurant, at Seifried Estate Winery. "I have loved doing this course, it's been so cool, I'm so sad it's the last day."
Ms Prestidge, who had enrolled to keep Ms Laurie company, was surprised to find that she enjoyed the course. "I like the whole talking to people part, I like that whole aspect of hospitality.
"It surprised me, I thought I was going to be really horrible at it and not enjoy it at all."
She is about to start a job trial at Yello Cafe.

Lowest prices on AMD and Intel motherboard and CPU combos! Now featuring all-in-one Skylake processor & motherboard bundles for the latest line from Intel. These combos are the easiest way to upgrade or build a new computer system. Choose the right motherboard/ cpu combo based on your budget & what works best for you to get the best deal for your setup. We stock a variety of kits that fit both the Intel i3 / i5 / i7 and AMD series of processors. And each combo comes with a compatible motherboard that is guaranteed to work right out of the box. With a pre-configured combo you'll be sure that your processor and motherboard will run optimally and that makes your install that much easier. Be sure to check each kit for additional accessories such as processor coolers, memory, and similar components.
What is a motherboard/ cpu combo?
Motherboard & CPU Combos include a motherboard, processor, and fan combined together in a single kit. Our bundles are checked for 100% compatibility and are perfect for upgraders and builders alike. A CPU/Motherboard combo lets you get started building your computer or upgrade right away by knowing that everything is compatible and ready to be installed. You can choose between new or refurbished motherboard cpu combo choices.
How to Assemble a Motherboard ComboBuying a motherboard cpu combo saves you a lot of trouble like checking for compatibility between the processor and the motherboard and the compatibility of the CPU fan with the clips on the motherboard. It might also be cheaper at times to buy a combo rather than buying a separate motherboard and CPU. Also, manufacturers combine the two components at times to provide better performance. If you are a first time assembler, here is a guide that you can follow to assemble a motherboard combo.
Step 1
If you are upgrading your PC, remove all cables, PCI cards and Graphic cards connected to your motherboard. Make sure that any wire that is connected to any component other than the processor is removed from the motherboard.
Step 2
Unscrew the motherboard the cabinet using a screwdriver and then remove the mother board along with the CPU from the cabinet. Also remove the plate attached to the back of the computer like the one shown in this image as this plate may not suite the one on your new motherboard.
Step 3
Unpack your new motherboard and place the motherboard on your cabinet and note down the places where the screw hole on your motherboard fits in with the screw holes in your cabinet. You may need to remove several of the mounting hole screws already there on the motherboard and place them in new spots in order to be able to fit the motherboard at the correct spot. This is because of the fact that different motherboard manufacturers place the screw holes in different locations.
Place the motherboard on the cabinet once you have placed the mounting hole screws in the right spots and then fix the screws on the motherboard.
Step 4
Now install unpack the CPU and fix it on the motherboard. This will depend on the type of processor and fan that you own but you will usually come across a small clip that you have to pull up in order to be able to place your processor on the motherboard. Place the processor in the socket and lock the clip to begin installing the fan. This is the most crucial part of the whole process and you need to be very careful while installing the processor in the socket. Make sure the pins from the processor fit into the correct spot on the motherboard.
Once you are done with the processor, you can fit the fan over the processor and then clip it or screw it depending on the type that you have. Plug the cable for the CPU fan into the appropriate socket on the motherboard.
Step 5
Install the devices like your RAM, Graphics card and other similar components into the appropriate spots on the motherboard. Make sure that they are well connected as loose connections can cause a lot of problems later, they can even fry your motherboard at times.
Now plug in the power connectors from the SMPS into the appropriate spots on the motherboard and your other devices.
You will need to refer to your motherboard manual in order to connect the Power Switch, front-panel audio, and USB and LED Connector cables since the connection varies between different motherboards.
Once you have fixed these connections, you are ready to power on your computer. If your computer refuses to start, don't panic, check for loose connections on the motherboard and make sure that your RAM is properly fixed on to the motherboard.
If the computer powers on and beeps instead of loading your boot up screen, note down the type of BIOS that you have from the manual and the frequency of the beeps. You can Google the beep codes to find out the exact source of your problem. It's done. Congratulations!

Police have received a handful of calls about the scam from people believing the message is from them.

Chiefs hero climbs off sickbed to help champs
Relevant offers
Super Rugby
Two-try hero Tim Nanai-Williams personified the character of the Chiefs when he hauled himself off his sickbed to deliver the defining performance of the defending champions' Super Rugby opener.
Nanai-Williams woke on match day in Dunedin at 5am and rushed immediately to the bathroom where he spent most of the morning. The last thing he could think about was running out in the unfamiliar position of centre in front of nearly 20,000 fans at Forsyth Barr Stadium.
He told his coaches he didn't think he could fulfil his duties that night against the Highlanders. His energy reserves were on empty and his head was strung out by fever.
They told him not to worry about it, to give everything he could and to trust them that they would remove him from play when it all got too much.
For the record, Nanai-Williams lasted 66 minutes, scored two dazzling game-changing tries and was the principal figure in a statement-making 41-27 victory that saw the Chiefs start their title defence in emphatic fashion.
You wouldn't have known they were down to their third-string hooker (who has yet to play provincial rugby), were forced to play Blues reject Gareth Anscombe at fullback, and missed a quartet of their best backs.
Nanai-Williams' gritty decision to play through his nausea and discomfort must also have inspired his team-mates who took the best shots from the Highlanders and simply overpowered them when the game went on the line.
Many wondered how the little makeshift midfielder with the twinkling feet and the speed to burn would cope in a position where it's hard to avoid physicality.
Cope? He played the house down, standing up Highlanders fullback Ben Smith for a superb first-half try, and then making the defining play of the game in the 65th minute when he swooped on a dropped ball from home flanker John Hardie and dashed 70-odd metres to crush the scarfies in the Zoo intent on celebrating a home victory.
"I'd been sick since 5 o'clock this morning, up and down to the bathroom spewing up and whatnot," said the 23-year-old after the game. "I was just happy we got five points today and now I'm ready to go home and jump in my bed."
His commitment says a lot about what these Chiefs are about. They have a culture about digging deep and doing what it takes.
When Nanai-Williams slipped through a gap for his opening try and made mincemeat of Smith's last line of defence, he said: "I didn't even know I was on the tryline, I was that wasted and feeling really nauseous."
As well as character, the Chiefs have depth and ability. The loose forwards were dominant, led by a commanding performance from Sam Cane who made a big early statement about the pecking order at No 7 in the absence of Richie McCaw.
Their tight five won the set-piece battle and laid enough of a platform for those dangerous backs to run in four scintillating tries. And the bench battle was a resounding victory for the visitors, who showed that they're right in the title mix again.
"We've got pretty good depth, and really good spirit," said Chiefs coach Dave Rennie. "You saw that when we got put under pressure a few times and the boys hung in there and scrambled bloody well and turned some of that into points. We're really happy. It was a great effort."

Chikaonda embroiled in K320mil collusion scam, hits back at Mbele: 'Shit or get off the pot'
28 April 2016 11:30:53 Malawi Nyasa Times – Malawi breaking news in Malawi
Former central bank chief, Prof. Mathews Chikaonda, currently heading Malawi's largest conglomerate - Press Corporation Limited – has been hit with lewd accusations by a Malawian entrepreneur based in South Africa, Joshua Mbele over the K320 million collusion scam involving Telecommunication Network of Malawi (TNM) one of the mobile service providers in the country but the economist has hit back to Mbele accusing him of character assassination. Chikaonda: PCL boss faces accusations by Mbele Joshua Chisa Mbele Mbele of Ulalo Capital Investments Limited claims he was led into financial trap by TNM Directors during the time TNM was being listed that lead to the investment suffering heavy financial losses forcing them to pay almost double as much; incurring huge losses in the process. The company paid MK321 Million for the shares instead of paying MK170m as previously negotiated and agreed. Ulalo Capital Investments Limited (UCL) in a joint investment with SAEDF in Ulalo Telecoms Limited (UTL) lost their money in the share allocation scam when Ulalo, on assurance from Chikaonda, Board Chairperson, obtained a further loan from their funder Southern Africa Enterprise Development Fund (SAEDF) to increase their shareholding to 4.99% from their existing 3%. In August 2008, UCL wrote to the Chairman of Board indicating their intention to increase their (UTL) stake from 3% to 5%. They got positive confirmation. Acting on instructions from Sean O'Neill, who acted as broker in the deal, Ulalo was advised that for the company to reach the target of 5% it had to hold 500 million shares in the TNM which subsequently meant UTL buying an additional 238 million shares. The broker had advised UTL to pay MK416m at 175 tambala for the additional shares. The price was later revised to K2.00 as per IPO Prospectus. On 17th October 2008, Mbele handed over MK459m together with the subscription documents to O'Neill's office. The other directors of Ulalo Telecoms Limited are Malcolm Pryor (Chairman), Chancellor Kaferapanjira, Patrice Nkhono, Washington Kaimvi and Rafique Symonnette. Meanwhile, in articles shared widely online , Dr Davies Lanjesi is also implicated said he he recently attempted to fraudulently change the directorship of Ulalo both in South Africa and Malawi with company registrars by lodging fake papers. "He was caught red handed in both instances. In South Africa, he is facing criminal charges of fraud, forgery and corruption. He acted in contranvetion of Company's Act. In Malawi, the High Court declared his attempts unlawful." The document further reads: " Dr Lanjesi is the victim of poor legal advice. His lawyer, James Masumbu has performed worse than unskilled plumber. His client was reduced to desperately committing petty criminal acts after court humiliations. The assistance from Chikaonda to divert Ulalo dividends was surely the most stupid thing to embark on. It would expose the bank and employees to criminal prosecution. Court Order on Directorship." Chikaonda, who retires at PCL, has been branded "a highly educated person but incredibly incompetent and shameless crook" who served his personal interests at the expense of everybody. "He colluded with Hitesh Anadkat the Chairman of Livingstone Holdings, the owners of FMB bank to commit what would only be described as the biggest fraud and inside trading in Malawi's corporate history and Stock Exchange. "The crime that would have seen them behind bars if President Bingu wa Mutharika had not suddenly died in April 2012. Chikaonda has an axe to grind with Ulalo for reporting him to Reserve Bank of Malawi for investigation. As the Regulator of Malawi Stock Exchange, the Central Bank launched an investigation into TNM IPO. Both Chikaonda and Anadkat as Directors were questioned. "They were asked to submit written answers to series of questions. They had two weeks to reply. In the end, the Reserve Bank came to one conclusion. TNM IPO was a massive fraud. Criminal investigation was recommended. The report was prepared and presented to President Mutharika to authorize ACB to take over the matter. Sadly, Mutharika suddenly died of cardiac arrest in that very week of 5th April 2012. Chikaonda has a Case to answer. His determination, today, to harm Ulalo must be understood. Ulalo put him in trouble." Mbele said he wrote his legal advisor, Wapona Kita and stated that National Bank of Malawi failed to officially explain itself how a Bank Account was opened with forged documents. Chikaonda response Chikaonda has since responded, with a note copied to Nyasa Times , the economist wrote: "Hear! Hear! Hear! That's the beauty of Democracy. He who alleges must prove and we all have a right to be presumed innocent unless proven guilty in an open forum we call the "Courts" where such matters should be argued before an independent arbiter. Also, he who seeks justice must come with clean hands. We also note that under the democratic dispensation, the accused has a right (not a privilege, but "the right") to face their accuser in the said open forum. Further, under the same democratic dispensation, we are guaranteed many rights, including freedom of speech and expression. However, there is no corollary right for people to listen to you when you choose to speak or express yourself. Yes indeed, you even have the right to make a fool of yourself. So, for me, based on the many years of experience in Academia, public and private sectors, where I had the privilege of dealing with high-ranking people like Presidents, Prime Ministers, etc on the one hand; and also little stuff like mosquitos and fire-flies, on the other, I have learnt a number of lessons and wish to share a few as follows: Don't argue with a fool because you might be mistaken for one yourself. It is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all possible doubt. Since Mr. Mbele has just succeeded in breaking Rule No. 2 above, I wish to advise everyone else to stick to Rule No.1 above. There again, you are entitled to choose freely. Even if you choose wrongly, it's your right. During the years of my sojourn in America, I also learnt a few lessons and a new, more direct way of speaking, whereby you don't call a spade a "big spoon". So, to Mr. Mbele, I wish to offer the following advice in the parlance of Mid-west America: ' Shit ot get off the pot' Chikaonda has challenged to meet Mbele in court . "I say, bring it on sooner rather than later and don't waste our precious time with your gutter journalism stuff, masquerading on social media and Nyasa Times as 'Grace Phiri' or such other fake pseudo names. It is said that the truth shall set you free. " Make evidence-based arguments in the proper forum. Also, it is instructive to note that when you speak the truth, you don't even have to remember what you said or did, when, where, etc. The truth defends itself. So, if you were grounded in the truth, you would not have been spitting out all this junk. Grow up Mr. Mbele and

Welcome to this new sports column: Malawi sports pundit Duncan Mlanjira
26 April 2016 10:20:31 Malawi Nyasa Times – Malawi breaking news in Malawi
I believe that most of you Nyasa Times ardent audience know one Duncan Mlanjira . I am one of Malawi's veteran sports journalist having worked for Malawi's giant media empire, The Times Group — which most of old guns know as Blantyre Printing Publishing Company, publishers of The Daily Times, Malawi News and The Sunday Times. It is with pleasure that I have been accorded this opportunity by Nyasa Times to be chatting with you on matters of Malawi sports. The TNM Super League season, whose defending champions are Nyasa Big Bullets, has just kicked off in earnest and we will be talking a lot about it as well as in netball and all the other disciplines. The season has kicked off with fans anticipating an exciting season but it has been blighted by the issue of Jaffalie Chande, who decided to move from Big Bullets to join Mighty Wanderers. The transfer wrangle between the two clubs has affected the player so much that he is reported to be receiving death threats. This is very unfortunate. Let every player join the team of their choice. It's all part of the game. Players are not supposed to belong to a club for all their short playing careers. This is a job — they play for money and where the grass is greener, let them move on and create something even more exciting. A good example is that of Peter Wadabwa, who was set free by his club Silver Strikers to join Mighty Wanderers. The man went on to break his former club's fans by scoring the winning goal during their first match of the season. That's part of the game — probably Wadabwa wanted to prove a point for his former club and to reward Wanderers for trusting in him. It must be appreciated that Chande must have been enticed to join Wanderers for very good reasons and it is just prudent to let him go. He deserves a pat on the back for giving his best for Bullets by allowing him to join a team of his choice. I know that the rivalry between Bullets and Wanderers is so intense that it annoys the fans when a player moves to the other but let us accommodate the players' wish if they want to move. All the best to all teams in this new TNM Super League season and let's create as much hype and excitement as possible. The better our league will be, the best players will emerge to don the Flames' colours. Welcome to my world.

10 Malawi heroes in 2015 shortlisted by Nyasa Times
31 December 2015 10:04:55 Malawi Nyasa Times – Malawi breaking news in Malawi
Nyasa Times has shortlisted 10 influential Malawians who were nominated by its readers for the prestigious 'Person of the Year' Award to be recognised as top heroes in 2015. Rex Bwanausi The list. Rex Bwanausi: He is an ophthalmologist at Chikwawa district hospital. He has served the position for years, working hard to get many people affected by eye problems to doctors and personally operating people with trachoma. His video done by Sight Savers has hit 5 million. Why? Rex works with almost nonexistent resources. He has a motor cycle. He lives 15km away from the hospital. He returns to his family every night late. But this amazing health worker goes 60km away at Nkumaniza or 47km away at Chapananga, sometimes using his fuel or sometimes borrowing money to go and find patients with eye challenges. Chikwawa has highest trachoma and cataract cases in Malawi. Rex's passion is on children as he says, for adults they may have few years of productivity, but for children is a life time of blindness. The man everyone calls adotolo amaso, represents hard working Malawian spirit, patience and love. Each year he wishes to go to school and upgrade, but he postpones it to next year to treat more people first. Thousands of people in Chikwawa had regained sight, some after 6 years of losing it. He is an angel among those very poor and in need. Rachel Sibande: Sibande: Mhub CEO Rachel Sibande represents a new generation of young Malawian women. She is a 29 year old tech genius who is pioneering technological solutions to Malawian problems. She gave a talk at TEDxLilongwe in 2013 in which she showed how women in rural areas of Malawi are harnessing technology to transform their livelihoods through optimisation of agricultural market information. Rachel is highly trained in very rare computer science fields of information theory, coding and cryptography. She is a fellow of the Young Africans Leadership Initiative (YALI), introduced by US president Barack Obama, and is the brains behind mHub. MHub is a new technology incubator space where Malawian technopreneurs are nurtured and supported to develop technology start-ups. She was the lead technology expert in an elections monitoring project for the May 2014 elections that brought together 18 civil society organisations under the Malawi Electoral Support Network. This technology enabled 300,000 Malawians to verify their voter identities through their phones, and handled 88,000 messages from 4,500 polling stations across the country. Rachel is taking this rare knowledge of 21st century technology to girls from disadvantaged backgrounds, training them to learn how to code and do lots of other very useful thing. James Mitengo: Teacher James Mitengo The teaching profession is going through its worst period, in Malawi and in many countries around the world, including wealthy, developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. Morale is at its lowest and many teachers are leaving. Not with Malawian teacher James Mitengo. This Standard 4 teacher at Mpeni Primary School in Thyolo district is doing what very few teachers are capable of: searching for solutions to problems in Malawian education. "He is always on the lookout for new opportunities, and has used them to connect his school with schools in other parts of the world," said education expert and academic Dr Steve Sharra one of the people who nominated Mitengo. Mitengo has sourced computers and Internet connectivity for his rural school in Thyolo, and has established computer lessons for his Standard 4 pupils. Mlombw: From a beggar to a billionaire He has attracted the attention of other teachers in the UK and the US, and has visited Scotland and England a number of times now where he has introduced the idea of Teaching and Learning Using Locally Available Resources (TALULAR) to teachers there. This is an idea that he popularised in Thyolo and surrounding districts. He is promoting international education both for his students and students in other parts of the world. Mike Mlombwa: The Malawian who has built his business on back of hard work. Mike is a very unique model of Malawi businesses; he has not lost voice on speaking for indigenous businesses.

Rebecca Chimjeka: It has become inconceivable to think of Malawi's democracy without thinking of the Malawian media. Malawi's political class has never appreciated the fundamental aspects of democracy, but thanks to the Malawian media, some of their chicanery and shenanigans are laid bare by the Malawian media. The one face that represents that canny ability to reveal to Malawians the mischief that the political class are up to is Rebecca Chimjeka. The Nation Publications Limited news analyst and former Nyasa Times investigative reporter has exposed some of the innards of how cashgate happened, and how it is still going on today.

Mary Kachale is Nyasa Times 2015 'Person of the Year': Malawi top prosecutor
31 December 2015 10:04:53 Malawi Nyasa Times – Malawi breaking news in Malawi
Malawi flagship online news source, Nyasa Times has named Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Mrs Mary Dominica Kachale as its 2015 Person of the Year. DPP Mary Kachale: 2015 person of the year in Malawi named by Nyasa Times Kachale has been given the prestigious title for notching 15 convictions in the ongoing Cashgate Scandal, and for remaining unintimidated by potential convicts who may probably be trying all they can to avoid jail. "She is a woman of steel, and I wish Malawi had more of her kind," commented one of the social commentators Stanley Onjezani Kenani who was amongst readers that Nyasa Times asked to nominate 'Person of the Year'. The Nyasa Times which clocks 10 years in 2016 introduced the 'Person of the Year' accolade in 2010. The title is awarded to an individual who has influenced the year's news for either positive or negative reasons and is decided by the editors of the online publication after nomination from its contributors, readers and other stakeholders. Last year the title went to 'Malawi Media' and late journalist Ralph Tenthani for work in informing the masses during the year of elections, playing rightful role as public watchdog and also keeping the nation updated on cashgate scandal. And the year before that, Nyasa Times named Consumer Association of Malawi (Cama) executive director John Kapito as person of the year because he consistently spoke against bad social, economic and political policies that impact negatively on consumer. Announcing the 2014 'person of the year', Nyasa Times editorial management said the publication sought nomination from various reputable commentators and analysts to nominate and give reasons. "Based on the nominations from dozens of analysts, Nyasa Times selected Malawi's Director of Public Prosecution, Mrs Mary Kachale as title holder of the Persons of the Year accolade," the online publication said. Kachale told Nyasa Times after being told of the recognition on Wednesday December 30, 2015 that she was "humbled". Said Kachale: "I am so humbled, I am lost for words." Malawi's top prosecutor added: "To be honest, and I am not being religious here, it is true, it is really the Lord's doing not mine and truly all honour should go to God our father." Kachale continued: "It would be an honour and a priviledge for me to accept the recognition that Nyasa Times have chosen to bestow on me. This is truly humbling." The 'Person of the Year' Kachale has served as Senior Assistant Chief State Advocate in the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs and holds a B.A. degree (Honours) from the University of Malawi and a Diploma in International Protection of Human Rights from the Institute for Human Rights, Finland. In 2009, she was awarded an LL.M. in Public International Law at the University College, London; in 2010 she commenced her PhD in law at the same university. "I was recipient of a Commonwealth Scholarship to pursue a PhD in Nuclear Energy Law (2010-2012) which was discontinued for personal reasons," said Kachale. In April 2013 when Kachale was promoted to become Chief Legal Advocate in charge of the Legal Aid Department, she was charged with making preparations for the transition of the Legal Aid Department into an autonomous Legal Aid Bureau, which has since taken place. Kachale, a wife to High Court judge Chifundo Kachale and mother of three children, is determined in her job as Director of Public Prosecutions. "The mandate of the DPP is to conduct all criminal prosecutions in the country; one has also got the authority to take over any prosecutions commenced by any agency or authority or even to discontinue the same. "The DPP works through State Advocates as well as Police Prosecutors (especially in magistrates' courts across the country); constitutionally the DPP also operates under the general direction of the Attorney General and is answerable to the Legal Affairs Committee of Parliament for the performance of her tasks and responsibilities," she explains. Kachale told Nyasa Times that the overall in charge of prosecutions in the whole country would be challenging at any given time. However, she pointed out, Cashgate fraud has made her job "more challenging." She said: "Criminology studies have shown that one of the main reasons why white collar crime continues to grow is because the criminals know that the inordinately high cost of investigating and prosecuting them prevents many law enforcement agencies from doing so, even in very rich countries." Added Kachale: "The fact that in Malawi, for various reasons, cases of public servants involved in the 2010 fraud were never prosecuted to completion might have reinforced the impression locally that our law enforcement agencies lack the wherewithal to competently prosecute Public Servants who meticulously plan, complexly execute and intelligently conceal their embezzlement of public funds. "Consequently, the toughest part of my current work has been to ensure that in spite of human and financial resource challenges, we nevertheless efficiently and effectively prosecute Cashgate cases so as to demonstrate that our Government has the will and the means to tackle the malady- if not in financial resources, then through the sheer determination of its prosecutors to pursue the matters tenaciously; I must hasten to admit that God has been very gracious in the whole exercise thus far." Kachale recalls that in 1999, as a third year law student from Chancellor College University of Malawi, she did three months internship at the Ministry of Justice headquarters in Lilongwe and that experience opened her eyes to what she consider to be one main reason behind Malawi's lack of development . "I was shocked by the huge number of cases of theft by public servants. I remember thinking to myself- No wonder Malawi is so poor! How can a country develop if public servants steal public money with such impunity?" However, Kachale pointed out that due to factors such as low salaries for lawyers in public service, and inadequate financial and technical resources, "the Ministry of Justice has always lacked the capacity to prosecute such cases comprehensively; hence most cases remain uncompleted." She said she resolved during her internship to join the Ministry of Justice upon her graduation from Chancellor College. "My principal objective was that one day, by God's grace; I might become an instrument for bringing an end to the impunity I observed in the unscrupulous public servants. It was in pursuit of that objective that I joined the Ministry of Justice on 9th April 2001, and have continued to serve in that Ministry to date," said Kachale.

Mutharika tells BBC 'be very careful with Nyasa Times'
07 December 2015 23:31:17 Malawi Nyasa Times – Malawi breaking news in Malawi
President Peter Mutharika on Monday appeared on the British Broadcasting Corporation's HARDtalk programme where he was interviewed by anchor, Zeinab Badawi in which among other things he commented on Malawi's online leading news site Nyasa Times. Malawian President Mutharika appeared on BBC Hardtalk indepth interview program Pillars of Progress BBC's journalist asked Mutharika why Malawi is struggling to make progress while it is relative peaceful society and has stability and if it all goes down to governance. President Mutharika picked corruption as one of the major issues derailing Malawi's progress. "Cashgate was a good example of corruption. We are fighting corruption," said Mutharika. Mutharika said he is touting "patriotism, integrity and hard work", saying they are three pillars of his government plans to utilize and ensure progress of the country's development. He stressed that his administration wants to promote these three pillars of progress that support reforms and national development. Mutharika said Malawians must be a highly principled and honest in whatever they do, saying there wouldn't have been cashgate if Malawians were a people of integrity. But asked that 35 percent of government funds have been "stolen in the past decade" which includes the reign of the President's late brother , Bingu wa Mutharika's rule, Prof Peter Mutharika said "Corruption has been there for decades. There will always be corruption in a society." But he stressed: "We are taking measures to stop corruption." Presidential jet Asked that he served as advisor and later minister in his brother's government which was criticised among others for the purchase of a presidential jet, the Malawi leader said the plane was not private but a state asset. On the presidential jet, Mutharika said: "Joyce Banda (former president) sold it. You have to ask her. She sold it; we don't know who she told to and where the proceeds went. That is something we are investigating, that's part of the whole cashgate." The jet was bought during administration of late former president Bingu wa Mutharika but the move attracted widespread criticism from the donor community and other quarters of the society. His successor Banda later sold the plane to Virgin Islands-registered firm Bohnox Enterprise Ltd for around US$15 million but the use of the proceeds has remained a mystery, with Banda initially saying the funds were used to purchase grain. Other officials said the jet was battered in an arms deal and that the cash-strapped Malawian government never realized any financial proceeds from the sale. Corruption Mutharika spoke about adequately funding governance institutions in Malawi including the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB). BBC's journalist asked Mutharika citing University of Malawi political professor Blessing Chinsinga saying efforts to root out corruption in Malawi do not stick because the existing institutions makes it most impossible to introduce changes that can effectively stamp out corruption. She asked how serious Mutharika is about reforms and if it is not just "window dressing." Mutharika maintained his zero tolerance stance to corruption. "It's very difficult, its endemic, it's deeply rooted. But we are fighting it," said Mutharika on corruption. Mutharika said: "Cashgate is at the centre of the situation in Malawi. It's much more serious than the international community think." He said "Cashgate was done by the previous government," saying aid sanctions to his administration will only be punishing wrong people. "In the end people will suffer," he said. Mutharika also said the country still need donors as the country moves in the painful path to economic sovereignty. 'Becareful with Nyasa Times' BBC journalist asked President Mutharika on land rights. The Malawi leader dismissed a report which indicated there is land grab from villagers by multilateral organisations. During the interview, BBC's Badawi cited Nyasa Times article which indicated for 35 years now, more than 400 subsistence farmers at Chisita in Malawi's central region have been traversing the country's courts, nongovernmental organisations and the offices of the Ombudsman in a bid to reclaim 600 hectares of land, which Illovo Malawi occupied in 1979. The farmers claim the company, in collusion with a senior chief, pushed them off their land and illegally converted it into part of its behemoth sugar cane plantation. "Some of these civil society organisations you have to be very careful with the way they analyse situations," said Mutharika. "No foreigner can acquire a land in Malawi except where they are going to industrialise for certain period of time." BBC journalist read to President Mutharika a quote from Nyasa Times in August last year by farmer Peter Kaunda: "I lost three hectares which were my livelihood. They pushed us to the hills where the land is infertile. Now I am suffering." Mutharika asked: "This is Nyasa Times the online publication?" BBC's Badawi said "yes". "You have to be very careful, very careful with these publications including Nyasa Times ." He suspected the person quoted by the online publication does not exists. "If he does exists this so called Peter Kaunda, maybe he does, if he does we will investigate. Its first time I am hearing this," said Mutharika. The Nyasa Times articled referred to was also published in South African based Mail Guardian newspaper. It was authored by Collins Mtika a founder of the Centre for Investigative Journalism in Malawi (CIJM) who also heads the investigations desk at Nyasa Times . Confidence Mutharika talked about his reform agenda, saying he has "confidence" to turn around Malawi economy and that he was lured many investors, stressing he is "very excited about that." The Malawi leader gave the BBC an interview in London where he was last week on official visit. He left Malawi for Commonwealth summit in Malta on 22 November 2015 from where he proceeded to the Global African Investment Summit in London before he attended the China-Africa summit in South Africa.

FAM downplays Drug Fight Malawi on Nyasa sponsorship to Bullets
03 December 2015 18:18:37 Malawi Nyasa Times – Malawi breaking news in Malawi
Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has downplayed calls by Drug Fight Malawi for Nyasa Tobacco Manufacturing Company to move out of Big Bullets sponsorship deal. Suzgo Nyirenda : Come through FAM FAM General Secretary Suzgho Nyirenda told Nyasa Times that the organization made a mistake of rushing to the media without approaching the football body to discuss the sponsorship deal. "They could at first approach us and find out why the tobacco manufacturing company or alcohol companies are involved in football sponsorship. In this kind of sponsorships, there are regulations as a football body we have to follow thats why FIFA gave us a go ahead," he said. Added Nyirenda: "For your own information, we struck the Nyasa Tobacco Manufacturing Company deal in March and started engaging FIFA the same month. We discussed until September when the world football governing body gave us a go ahead." He also hinted that in Malawi, there are a few companies willing to sponsor football teams and it was a mountain tall work to find the sponsorship. Addressing a news conference in Lilongwe Drug Fight Malawi Executive Director Nelson Zakeyo said they consider the tobacco sponsorship of the Peoples Team, as Big Bullets is fondly called as a deliberate and well-orchestrated strategy of the Nyasa Tobacco Manucfacturing Company to market its products and increase tobacco consumption among children.

I just visited the henhouse. The barred rock hens began their laying cycle and boy they are shining in my eyes. I love brown eggs, homespun.
My happy song and their cackling chorus touched the rooster. He cleared his throat today.
I felt sad when I came upon a perfectly healthy looking baby opossum, dead as a doornail beneath the young catalpa tree in the backyard. Maybe it fell from the catchall of its warm mother. Could be, he was the ugly duckling of the outfit. No matter, the deceased youngster will get a decent burial, at no cost--in a secret location.
Our cat Trek likes to dig up the dead and dump his problems on them. That cold-blooded killer watched me bury the Blue Jay. My big boy scratched at the site and left a small contribution to the family. Then, the yellow Tomcat rolled over and expected me to say, "Nice job!" It did not happen.
Paul Baby survived the excitement of "Black Friday." He reports Sears was a madhouse very early Friday morning. Shoppers were spending--cash was flowing and plastic was popular. Spirits were high!
Paul was exhausted when he arrived home late in the afternoon. After a nice meal, the salesperson that lost a night's sleep was pretty much out of it until the next morning and time to put his best foot forward again.
My husband was taken aback yesterday when an elderly lady that he waited on the previous week came into Sears and asked for him. She handed the salesman a small card made by Universal Design, Inc. The name Paul appears at the top. Beneath his name is the word "Humble."
The message is from Isaiah 40:31--But they that wait upon the lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles.
I thought that was very nice.
I am sprucing up the interior walls of the little blue house at the end of the road with a fresh coat of paint. The living room ceiling is smiling already.
Now everyone around me knows I do most housekeeping chores the old-fashioned way. Heavy-duty tasks such as painting are worked the same. I painted the house several times since I moved back to Elm Street, over two decades ago.
I used quality blue paint and small sized brushes to accomplish that, no problem.
Several yeas ago, Paul and I deep cleaned the floor and painted the interior of the Nicolas Loan building that had then, been recently vacated by The Brazil Gazette newspaper.
The brick patterned vinyl wall covering on east wall was handled like a delicate hand wash.
After painting the walls, we spent hours cleaning years of accumulated dirt from the tiled floor on our hands and knees. When the flooring was spic and span and dry, we polished it.
We gave our all to that cool building in December of that year. The night before Christmas the project was completed.
When Economic Development was ready to move in, our boss, the late Jack Pickett was pleased with what elbow grease, simple cleaning solutions, small tools and a few cans of paint from Bob Dix could do.
Vinegar and water, old rags and newspaper can make windows on main street sparkle like the morning dew.
I have used that method of window cleaning ever since I was fourteen years old. The late Francis Hayward, my first employer, taught me excellent cleaning tricks, back in the day, that still prove to be worthwhile.
So, here by my side is a new gadget that Paul Baby gifted me with, intended to make my painting experience a little easier. He saw it on TV and yep Sears has them. It is called Point 'n Paint.
The company claims an entire room can be finished in less than an hour. That is, if all of the paintings, photos, nick- knacks, unexplainable cracks are sealed and lady bugs and spiders are exterminated before the trial run.
No taping is required before use of the ergonomically designed painting tool. The paint pads hold eight times more paint. Imagine that.
It looks easy, even for me, but I'll keep a brush and roller handy, just in case my left hand gets tired of toying with magic. I'll let you know.
Are you an apple pie lover? Last night, while a late dinner was still in the planning stage, I decided to fix something a wee bit special for dessert.
I spotted the shiny red apples in the ornately painted graniteware pan on the counter. It was clear to see they could use a little action. I thought about stewing the fruit and, then; I found myself making pie crust.
I created another mess and that well worth it. The pie's filling consisted of uniformly slice juicy apples, a fine blend of sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, a pinch of clove and salt.
Then I decided to add a few generous spoonfuls of Ocean Spray whole cranberries to the apple slices and other ingredients. That looked ok to me. I closed the pie with a top crust and brushed it with egg white. A small amount of sugar was sprinkled on the top.
Then, so the apple of my eye would be extra pleased with my pie, I chopped � cup of English walnuts fine and scattered the nutmeat on the surface of the crust to toast as the decadent dessert baked.
The sound of late Mary Patton's voice is still resonating in my ear. Once she said, when speaking of apple pie, "The pie is best when the juices spill out into the oven. Give all the flavors enough time to marry." I did as my longtime friend the gifted cook suggested.
Of course a foil covered cookie sheet took care of spillage.
When my creation was done I proudly placed it on the rack to cool - a beautiful pie fit for the king and me, of course!
After dinner we happy and grateful seniors enjoyed that delicious best-ever warm homemade apple pie, alamode style, with full scoops of vanilla Party- Pail ice cream. Yum!
This old girl pushed the Weight Watcher scales out of sight, temporarily. There is more where those two generous pieces came from!
I look forward to tomorrow! Who knows what simple pleasures will unfold before my eyes and at my fingertips.
You can reach me by phone at 446-4852 or by email email@example.com.
