My fellow man, woman and children it's QUEENS DAY! But what are we celebrating actually? Her birthday, other past dutch royalties' birthday? If you were to ask the latest generation Dutchman he/she nowadays would hardly know what it is even about. Apart from the fact that most of us hit the streets dressed or some not even dressed at all in orange or walk around as orange sumo wrestlers, being drunkards in the middle of the day and sell your old stuff legally, there is not much else we relate this day with.
So how did my Queens night go, queens night was party till ya drop literally! That is not because we went dancing for hours and hours but from waiting for the night bus! Can you believe that?! At 03:00 me and my best friends left the club to go home. After walking all the way through a massive throng of late night party goers and the puking masses we reached our destination to catch the night buses. So there we were waiting, waiting and some more waiting, we did so much intensive waiting that we looked like pro's. Looked at the watch and thought it strange that the bus did not move an inch from the stop it dropped its passengers. The departure stop was a stone throw away from it and the bloody bus never showed up there. Then after having enough of useless, unproductive hanging around the bus stop we decided to look whats wrong and just when we were about to do so it drove away going past us like we were not even there. That such a thing ruined the night was not pleasant to say the least.. In the end we spent 2 hours of our life waiting for it to come. By the time the two hours passed the early trains already started running.
In conclusion we did a respective 4/6 party and 2/6 waiting.
And now the Queens day.
To start with the weather was and still is wonderful and can be called a true summer day! But it didn't start so well though. Me and two others planned on selling our products for the YEN project at 10:00 but as usual I overslept big time and made them wait so long. IF YOU ARE READING THIS HERE IS MY WRITTEN APOLOGY: SSSOOOOOORRRYY! But to get even with me they forgot their stuff to sell. XD LOOL
But no biggie, we managed to at least sell the stuff we had at hand. Funny thing is though, as we were selling our stuff, the people who bought our stuff always wanted to walk away after only hearing the price and its function but as soon as I mentioned that it was sold in order to raise money for charity they had a change of heart and bought it. Why is charity such a big thing I asked myself. Is it that the purchase is more meaningful when helping others is involved, is it out of feeling sorry for the ones we are helping or is it a sense of satisfaction you get when giving a helping hand or is it dajk35ad gdi$@gd akjgd agdf#$k@sgdau. There or millions of reasons one can thing of but lets stick to the most apparent ones for simplicities sake. I am not capable of giving you there reason why people buy our stuff faster when charity is involved, cuz my brainzzellzz are swimming in alcohol now. #hick#
Well thats all for now, chuck yu. lat...zz!

[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] WordPress/BuddyPress Standards?
With some WP/BP themes having many small js and css files, the loading speed benefits from combining can be huge.
I was having real problems with both CSS and JS (404 and 500 errors) after trying to combine and minify with W3TC on http://virtualcrowds.org using BuddyPress default theme + the 3 column child theme, so I un-minified and un-combined everything and checked the original CSS files with the http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ W3C CSS Checker and this is what I found [http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://virtualcrowds.org/&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=2&lang=en].
I'd had many problems combining multiple CSS files by hand on this WP3/BP site, and no wonder, as the verifier identified 128 Errors and 289 Warnings. They had no visible effect when separate files, but once combined caused obvious issues.
So just out of curiosity, I pointed the checker on http://buddypress.org and this is what I found [ http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://buddypress.org/&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=2&lang=en%5D, thats 130 Errors and 654 Warnings.
Now I am not a web developer, but I do know much is made of both WordPress and BuddyPress being standards based and driven.
So what chance has the little guy got if its all talk and no do?

text: I put a post in the name your date and rate, but I wanted to post this question again separately. Has anyone used quikbook to make a reservation, and how was your experience with it? I have reservations for 4/6-4/12 at HRH booked through the hotel for 229/night garden view. Quikbook.com had a rate for 199/night for a garden view which I went ahead and reserved also. This saves me $170 over the length of my stay. Before I cancel the ones with HRH direct, I have some questions... First off, would I have any more trouble making sure there was a room available when I arrive with quikbook over booking direct. Could I upgrade on a loews card if I wanted? Also quikbook said it would be a room with 2 beds, they only have rooms with 1 king or 2 queen, right? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Res large monitor is great
I have been using a 30-inch Apple Cinema Monitor for about 5 years. It has a max resolution of 2560x1600. I believe that the higher resolution helps me avoid the fatigue I used to get looking at my old monitor too long. I use the monitor for word processing. I can view complete pages from the word processor next to my browser that contains my research, etc. For me, I can never return to the smaller screen. If your use will support the higher cost, it will be worth it.
Have fun.

Hi guys, i'm just looking for opinions.
It's time to buy a new monitor (in time for BF3 ) and i have been agonising over a ~23" or 27" (i'm only looking at TN, 120hz for FPS). Unfortunately, all the 27" TN panels are 1080, and not a higher res.
There's a fair amount of debate about whether 27" for the PC viewing distance is simply too big. I'm inclined to agree, especially if the content being viewed is not 1080.
I sit about 80cm, and i believe that is fine for 1080, but not for anything less.
Pity there are no 25" ones - i'm sure that'd fit the bill perfectly

Why is a 120 Hz monitor better?
My PC and the half-dozen others over the years have only run at either 60 Hz or 85 Hz (if possible). Never 120 Hz.
What video card can refresh at 120 Hz???

I have an ASUS VW246H 24'' monitor, and I love it. It's also funny seeing the reactions of people used to crappy monitors when they see it. I can't imagine going any bigger than this though. For one thing, a 24'' is expensive enough, and I wouldn't get much out of a bigger monitor, especially when I'm already at 1920x1080 resolution, 2 ms response time, etc.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the family resided at Buckworth, in Huntingdonshire, a village near Alconbury west of Huntingdon. Alternatively, Buckworth was a hundred (a geographic division dating back to the Saxons) located in Surrey. This reference dates back to the Domesday Book as Cherchefelle, but in 1199 became known as Reigate.
Bukworth Early Origins
Surrey, both dating back to circa Domesday Book.
Bukworth Spelling Variations
Bukworth Spelling Variations
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Bukworth include Buckworth, Buckworthe and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Bukworth or a variant listed above:

Italy itinerary HELP for 1st timers...overwhelmed
Need help planning 1st trip to Italy in early March, 2013 After much reading, below is the draft of the itinerary. I would appreciate ALL suggestions.
Report Abuse
I don't know why you are overwhelmed. It's a pretty good plan so long as you know you are going to be on the go most of the time and that rain may cause you to switch some things around. March is very early for an Amalfi coast drive.
Personally, I wouldn't book that leg of the trip until you get to Italy, and know you will have sunny skies. I know you are first timers and it sounds hard, but it isn't.
From Florence, it is better to take a bus to Siena and a train back. (By the way, both Florence and Siena are in Tuscany).
You need a reservation for the Accademia in Florence.
It's a nice plan. I hope you have picked purely on the basis on your heart's desire and curiosity, not just because people jabber on enlessly about these famous sights. Many people plan a lot of museum-going and ruin-tromping in Italy because they don't know what else to do. The places you are going are very varied in their delights, many never metioned in guidebooks, so if you are ever bored at a site, don't think twice about leaving and taking a walk someplace.
Report Abuse
Just remembered: You may need a reservation for the Doge's palace in Venice too.
For hotels, go to venere.com and booking.com and plug in your dates for your cities and spend time looking at reviews and pictures and prices.
Report Abuse
If you have not already booked tickets, I suggest flying into Venice and out of Rome, multi-city. Flights times are usually better out of Rome than out of Venice. Venice is also wonderful for a relaxing start and a good way to get over any jet-lag.
Stars for hotels in Italy are awarded on amenities, not quality, so don't pay attention to that. For example, having AC might boost the stars, but what do you care in March? You won't need it and they wouldn't have it on anyway. Location and comfort are mort important. Take recs from people on Fodors.
When I've been in both late March and early April, it has still been chilly and rainy, so coming from NO, take sweaters, jackets and umbrellas or raincoats.
Report Abuse
Early March is not the best time for the Amalfi Coast. It's off season and many hotels and restaurants will still be closed. And,more importantly, the ferry schedule will probably be quite limited (seeing the coast FROM the ferry is, IMHO, much prettier than just driving along it).
I love the area - but probably would;t spend time in a beach resort off season.
Report Abuse
I too would skip the AC this trip---too far to travel and not a good time for a beach destination. You really only have 10 days---I would give it Rome 4, Florence 3, and Venice 3.
Report Abuse
Hi Bonnie,
I think you have reasonable plan even though you will be covering a lot of ground.
For your arrival day in Rome, walking around seeing the outdoor sights is a good plan. You might like to take along one of the recommended walking tours of Rome so that you can see a bit more if you feel like it. Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain do not take very long and you will probably be able to do more if you want. The Pantheon is a nice stop right between the two.
My first visit to the Amalfi Coast was at the end of March. Temps were pleasant during the day, perfect for visiting Pompeii (which was uncrowded in March but that was a long time ago). There were huge thunderstorms 2 nights out of 3 with very heavy rain. Luckily the days were dry.
I agree with the idea of visiting the Amalfi Coast unplanned.
It should be quite easy to add a day or two to Rome, Florence or Venice on short notice - as long as you are not going during the Easter time period!
Buon viaggio!
Report Abuse
Just to elaborate on leaving the Amalfi unplanned:
I would go ahead a book lodgings but only make a reservation with a 24-hour cancellation policy. In the meantime, I would make a rainy-weather back up plan that you can substitute for short notice in the Amalfi in case weather forecasts in Rome show nothing but rain for the Amalfi coast.
Given that you already want to see Siena, my back up plan would be have picked out several large hotels in Siena whose price you like, pack their telephone numbers and e-mails, plus all the information you need on how to take a bus to Siena from Rome.
If you get rained out of the Amalfi, deploy the Siena plan. Easiest to do if you have a cell phone or e-mail device with you, but not impossible to get done through your hotel either.
If you end up in Siena for 2 nights, then you will have freed up time to do something else in Florence -- a different day trip (there are many ) or more time in Florence.
Report Abuse
I agree that this trip would flow more easily if you fly into Venice and out of Rome: Venice, Florence, Rome, Sorrento then back to Rome.
Easter next year falls on the 29th March (Good Friday) so in early March not much will be open in Sorrento or on the AC. This does depend somewhat on the weather. The large cities won't be affected.

We took a look Albergo del Senato in Rome and plan to stay there next visit. It is at the same piazza as the Pantheon, so it's close to so much! We know a few people who have stayed there and love it. Take a look at it.
Report Abuse
THANK YOU all for your helpful comments! We're definitely taking your advice to either postpone AC for another trip or visit unplanned if weather permits. Hiking the Path of Gods is high on my bucket list.
Trying to decide between 4 nights in Rome, 4 in Florence & 2 in Venice OR 4 nights in Rome, 2 in Florence, 2 in Sienna & 2 in Venice. We want to travel to Tuscany maybe 2 days by car but not sure if we should stay in Sienna 2 nights. We're also thinking about visiting Cinque Terre...could this be a day trip from Florence?
We are still thinking about going to Pompeii on Day 5 as a day trip from Rome. I know it would be a long trip, but since there are 4 of us, we might consider hiring a transfer company if the price works.
Thanks again for your comments. I truly appreciate them!!!
Report Abuse
It is a 3-hour trip from the center of Florence to le Cinque Terre. In early March, the sun sets somewhat early.
You can sort of split the difference about staying in Siena in March if you pick a location that is just outside the walls but on a farm. If you arrive and it is rainy, you can enjoy Siena and skip touring the countryside with a car. But if it is sunny, you can easily °carpe diem° and rent a car in Siena (so long as it is not a Sunday). One place that is like this is Agriturismo Marciano.
I don't think you need a private transfer to Pompei. It won't be any faster than taking the train from Rome to Pompei. In March, I don't believe the site opens until 9am anyway. It closes around 5. I think you will have more flexibility with weather if you don't book a car service in advance. Just by train tickets when you know it won't be a rainy day in Pompei.
Sounds like you are planning a nice trip. A lot of people don't like to switch hotels to much, and you should poll your group about that. But if you are packing light, it is not that big a deal to switch hotels, and it can be nice to spend the night in a place like Siena, when most of the tourists have left. However, it is very quiet there, so if your group likes a little nightlife, Florence has it and Siena not much.
Report Abuse
Multiple 2 nights here, 2 nights there, would not be my choice. Two nights in a place means only one full day there, so make sure the things you want to see are open on that specific day. One full day may be enough for you in Siena, but IMO it isn't enough time in Florence or Venice, especially if you start talking about a day trip to the Cinque Terre.
Not only can you not rent a car in Siena on a Sunday, forget Saturday afternoons too.
I think you have to decide between driving/staying in Tuscany for a couple of days or going Venice.
Report Abuse
My advice, after traveling to Italy many, many times, is to minimize the # of cities. Every time you change cities, you essentially lose a day. A mid-morning train gets to your next city early afternoon or so, and then you locate your hotel and the room may not be ready, and so by the time that it is, it is cocktail time and the day is shot. Just my experience, though, and you may have other thoughts. I would also think about a car service (or the SITA bus) if indeed you choose to go to the Amalfi coast. Having a car deprives the driver of enjoying the sights. A couple of years ago, we flew into Naples and had a driver meet us and drive us to Amalfi; we could concentrate on the scenery and leave the driving to him. The rest of our four days there, we took a bus or ferry to the nearby towns.
Report Abuse
I, too, would leave the Amalfi Coast for another trip. This will allow you a bit of time in Florence and Venice. As it is, they are way too brief.
Just one note. Looks like you won't get to the Venice fish market (Rialto?) until late in the day. Plan it for a day when you can do it first thing in the morning to get the full impact.
Enjoy Italy!
Report Abuse
i am in the minority-- but would actually leave in the amalfi coast-- and scratch one city. (especially if you are definite on pompeii.) i like to alternate between big city and countryside/coastal view spots. however, i would not rent a car for the amalfi-- definitely take the bus along the coast. better view, less stress, no parking problems. now, which city to scratch.... that's a tough one!
Report Abuse
In your Op, you said this was a draft, so I assume that you haven't booked air tickets yet? If not, then you need to be less ambitious for what you see on this trip. The more you try to cram in, the less you'll see and remember. My stab at the itinerary would be:
Fly into Venice, 4 nights
Florence 2 nights
Rome 4 nights
Fly home from Rome
Forget the AC and Cinque Terre until your next trip, it's the wrong time of the year. Yes I know that everyone "had great weather" when they were there in February or March, but they were lucky and it doesn't mean that you will. You just can't rely on the weather at that time. You can do some sort of justice to the three cities above by cutting down on transfer time to other locations and you'll remember places that don't blend into one.
Report Abuse
Jean is right that you also couldn't pick up a car in Siena on Saturday afternoon, so if you end up deciding on an itinerary that has 2 nights in Florence and 2 nights in Siena, keep that in mind.
Your plans for Florence don't seem very extensive. If you overnight there, you open yourself up to unplanned discovery, but if what is drawing you to that area is really hilltowns and the Tuscan countryside, you might just want to see what you want to see in Florence, rent a car and stay somewhere near Siena. You can drive the car to Venice and drop it off there.
But I agree with the suggestion of not having a car on the Amalfi coast unless one person is really eager to drive it. If you end up with a car there, and want to drive it to Tuscany, then you could put Florence at the very end, dropping off your car, seeing what you want to see there, and then taking the train to Venice.

For days 5 and 6, maybe stay in Naples and visit Pompei?

film 10 Movies You Should Have Seen But Probably Haven't
27.9k views 10 items Follow Embed
Sure there's cult classics out there but what about those films that can't be cult classics because no one has ever heard of them? Well here's the ultimate list of 10 movies that you've probably NEVER heard of, but should go see.
Freaked is the greatest cult movie that hasn't quite found a cult yet. It came out in 1993 as a movie version of the short lived MTV Sketch-Comedy show Idiot box. After 20th Century Fox saw the movie they claimed it was too weird for audiences and didn't give it a wide release. The Film's soundtrack is composed of Butthole Surfers and George Clinton and the special effects are impressive for how low-budget they are. If you can I highly recommened picking up the double-disc DVD that was FINALLY released by Anchor Bay see more on Freaked
Robert Downey Jr has clearly reinvented himself over the last few years but this was the first film in his long line of reinvention. This is also hands down his best performance. RDJ plays a petty thief who through mistaken identity gets cast in a movie. Once he is flown out to LA he meets Val Kilmer who is an outwardly gay dectective that his hired to drag Downey Jr around with him so he can see what real police work is like to prepare for the role. However when they witness an actual murder the s**t (and comedy) hits the fan.

Adrian Brody followed up the award winning "The Pianist" with this delightful, feel good indie comedy about a 30-year old single man who decides to follow his dreams of being a ventriloquist. When he quits his job to follow this dream no one seems to find it strange except his sister. The true star of the show is Brodyâs punk rock best friend who has to do a full musical make over in order to get their first gig⦠a Jewish wedding. see more on Dummy
Film Noir takes an interesting new turn into a high school setting. When Brendan is awoke by an ex-girlfriend's caotic phone call he decided to help her. Sadly he's a little two late when her body is found that morning. Brendan goes undercover to figure out who killed his ex, why and what does the underground drug ring have to do with it. This film is fast paced, entertaining and well crafted. Highly recommended to just about anyone.

The ability to walk is something everyone takes for granted, unless it is experienced for the first time at the age of four.
From the time Khloe Fryman was born, she had every reason to have a negative attitude toward life, yet her glowing personality continues to be a source of strength for everyone around her.
Khloe is merely 4 years old, yet she continues to take-on whatever the world throws at her with a smile.
Khloe was born four years ago to Erik and Ella Fryman of Cynthiana.
Last Sunday I felt like I was under siege.
There were starlings everywhere; so much so that I feared being splattered with poop at every turn.
The surprising thing about starlings is that they are everywhere yet not from here. It's another story of one good intention going bad.
Apparently back in 1890, in honor of a Shakespeare festival in New York City's Central Park, 60 European starlings were released.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) encourages motorists across the state to prepare their vehicles for holiday travel and winter weather.
"Motorist safety is our foremost concern," said Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock. "Taking a few precautions now will help make holiday trips safer, and drivers will be better prepared should a cold weather emergency occur."
Scammers are busy this time of the year. Whether it's on the internet, at the stores, or even at your front door…they are ready to take your hard-earned cash. Here are some tips from the BBB on scams to look out for.
Holiday party-goers, beware!
To help save lives this holiday season, the Cynthiana Police Department is launching a special "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" crackdown to stop impaired drivers and to save lives on our roadways.
Sgt. Wilbur Gross said CPD's officers will be aggressively looking for impaired drivers and will arrest anyone caught driving impaired. Enforcement efforts will include sobriety checkpoints, saturation patrols, etc.
The special enforcement crackdown began Dec. 12 and will continue through Jan. 1, 2013.
A public defender was appointed to represent Kay Brown in her criminal defense in Harrison Circuit Court Tuesday morning.
Brown, who faces charges of financial exploitation of an adult (more than $300), first degree perjury and second degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, asked for an appointed attorney and filed an affidavit of indigency Dec. 4.
Judge Jay Delaney told Brown that if he appointed an attorney and she later decided to hire her own counsel, the new attorney would have to follow the trial schedule that the court set.

A gift for graduationBy
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. ~Henri Nouwen
Today I share with you words from Nicole – she approached me a few weeks back via email and asked if I could possibly morph two separate photo's into one drawing? Nicole's story has been told to many people I am close with, my heart was warmed by her passion to make a friend smile and bring a special moment to her friends graduation.
Below are Nicole's own words of why she did this….
The quote above is a perfect example the relationship with my friend. My friends mother past away last August after she battled three different types of cancers. My friend and her mother were very close more like best friends. She past 2 weeks before her senior year of high school and she wouldn't get to see her graduate.
That's way I decided to have this sketch done of her and her mother together as her graduation gift. It shows that they will always be together at heart and will see each other again..

Nice story.
Danel R. Lehrmans last blog post..Dennis Hopper is not a guitar player, but he is 63 years old today.
At first I thought you were talking about "morphing" two separate people (ie mother and daughter)into a kind of hybrid or perhaps taking the same person at two point in their life and merging them. It is a funny thing how a word will direct a mind, but I think I understand that you were essentially merging two distinct images in your sketch. Well done by the way and really a moving story.

We believe that women should have the option to choose abortion. Abortion, when performed legally and in a timely manner, is among the safest types of medical procedures. Even though access to abortion is legal, our right is far from safe.
The Problem
Anti-choice people want to outlaw abortion, regardless of the woman's situation. They will stop at nothing to make it harder for women to access abortion. They even target the doctors who provide abortion care.
Anti-choice people use many of the following tactics to reach their goals:
- Violent tactics that intimidate doctors and patients
- Bans on safe abortion methods that protect women's health
- Restrictions on low-income women's access to abortion and other health care
- Dangerous laws that jeopardize young women's health and safety
- "Crisis pregnancy centers" that intentionally mislead women
- "Personhood" measures that would ban abortion
- Distortions of science to instill fear
- Restrictions on women's access to RU 486
- Refusal clauses that deny women basic health services
Our Solution
We will always have to fight to keep abortion safe and legal. This means defeating attacks in Congress and in our state.
We also believe in reducing the need for abortion. This means we support improving access to birth control and teaching young people comprehensive sex education.
Finally, we always are sure to separate anti-choice myths from facts.

Unanswered: Asyncronous Perl question
I am trying to get a perl script to make some asyncronous calls to some really long database queries on multple servers. However, I can not seem to get the sample at
to work correctly. I expect it to print the time several times (4 or 5 times, in fact) but it only ever prints it once. The only thing I can think of is that the property $proc->result is not returning false properly. Has anyone run into this sort of thing, or do they see anything remarkably wrong in the toss off example?
For reference my setup is Windows XP SP2 with Activestate Perl v5.8.0. I am using async 0.1 as in the link above.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

On Saturday the government of Ethiopia launched the Gibe 3 hydroelectric dam, now the third biggest dam in Africa at 243 metres (800 feet) in height.
Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn said at the opening ceremony of the Gibe 3 dam, that Ethiopia has the goal of producing 5,000 megawatts of electricity in the next five years through the dam.
SEE ALSO: Uganda Has Launched The Largest Solar Plant In East Africa
According to Ethiopian officials, this dam makes the horn of Africa the biggest producers and consumers of renewable energy in Africa. The officials are optimistic about the dam's capacity to meet Ethiopia's electricity needs, as well as those of neighbouring countries.
Environmentalists are, however, skeptical about the implications of the downstream flow of the dam. The Omo river flows into Kenya's Lake Turkana and has the possibility of decreasing water levels in the Omo river, even in Kenya's Lake Turkana, which derives 80 percent of its resources from the river.
This could further affect the livelihoods of those who depend on the Omo river and Lake Turkana for their source of livelihood.
The dam cost $1.7 billion to build, with the Chinese government bearing most of the cost (60 percent) while the Ethiopian government bore 40 percent of the costs. The Chinese funds were, however, a loan which would be repaid by the Ethiopian government.
"This hydroelectricity plant, with other ongoing projects, fulfils our domestic power needs and will be provided for foreign markets," Ethiopia's Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn said in the speech inaugurating the dam.
The abundance of rainfall in the horn of Africa is enough to supply the dam with the required amount of water to produce hydroelectricity.

The Ethiopian government is also building the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, a dam which is designated to become Africa's biggest hydroelectric power plant.

Unanswered: Sql optimization issue (Event Monitor output)
We are trying to optimize cognos reports on out DB and were using event monitors to capture the the sql's being run against the DB and there execution time.
We say a strange behaviour in all the reports. We are getting this one event that is causing the issue
Record is the result of a flush: FALSE
Type : Dynamic
Operation: Close
Section : 4
Creator : NULLID
Package : SYSSH100
Consistency Token : SYSLVL01
Package Version ID :
Cursor : SQL_CURSH100C4
Cursor was blocking: TRUE
The close operation execution time is around 10 Sec whereas the prepare operation takes around 2 sec and the execution takes around 0.01 sec.
Why is the close operation taking so long and is there a way we can reduce it

I think in event monitor the close operation execution time includes the time you spent to fetch the result set 。
So maybe you have got a relative larger resultset in the sql。

Pope calls for Christian values in business
Christian values should be indispensable in the world of business, Pope Benedict told a gather of 8,000 business people meeting at the Vatican yesterday. In his address to the Christian Union of Entrepreneurs and Managers, the Holy Father praised their express intent "to tend towards an ethic that goes beyond a simple professional code of conduct" which, he added, made him think of the relationship between justice and charity, one of the themes of his recent Encyclical "Deus caritas est." "Christians are called always to seek justice, yet they carry in themselves the impulse of love, which even goes beyond justice. "The road travelled by lay Christians from the middle of the nineteenth century to today, has brought them to an awareness that works of charity must not substitute the commitment to social justice. The Church's social doctrine, and above all the activity of so many Christian-inspired groups such as your own, show just how far the ecclesial community has travelled in this matter." In this context, the Pope recalled the publication two years ago of the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, prepared by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. It was, he said, "an educational instrument, extremely useful for all those people who aim to allow themselves be guided by the Gospel in their working and professional lives." He went on to express the hope that "it may become a constant point of reference" for the members of the UCID in drawing up projects and seeking solutions to the "complex problems of the world of work and the economy," an area that represents their "road to sanctification." With reference to the "Charter of Values" of the youth members of the UCID, the Holy Father commended "the positive spirit of faith in the human person" that animates the document, and the fact that its declaration of principles is backed up by a positive commitment to put them into practice. "I particularly appreciated the stated aim of valuing all individuals for what each of them is or can give, according to their talents, while avoiding all forms of exploitation; as well as the recognition of the importance of the family and of personal responsibility. Unfortunately such values, also thanks to current economic difficulties, often risk not being followed by those business people who lack solid moral inspiration. For this reason, the contribution of those who draw from their own Christian formation is indispensable." Benedict XVI concluded by calling on the members of the UCID to draw inspiration from St Joseph, patron saint of workers, both "in your daily tasks, ... and in your tenacious search for God's justice."

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Germany's Gothaer Insurance Group is in talks to buy a majority stake in Turkish insurer Isik Sigorta from Bank Asya ASYAB.IS, four sources close to the process told Reuters, as it seeks to tap a potential growth market.
One of the sources said an American insurer was also interested in buying the stake.
Turkey's Bank Asya, which offers banking services that comply with Islamic law, holds a 65.42 percent stake in Isik Sigorta, according to the insurer's website. Other shareholders may also sell their stakes, the sources said.
"Isik Sigorta can be sold as a whole, as a stake sale by other partners could be on the agenda as well," said one of the sources.
Isik Sigorta Chief Executive Officer Recep Kocak declined to comment.
"We are indeed having a closer look at the Turkish insurance market, since we do see potential for growth, but this is still in a very early stage. Therefore I am afraid I cannot give any details at the time being as to who we might be talking to," Gothaer head of communications Martina Fassbenderat said.
One source said talks were close to being concluded.
Bank Asya said last month that it was in talks with investors on the sale of Isik Sigorta.
Turkey has become attractive to global insurance firms in the past few years because of its population of 75 million with an average age of 28.
Belgian-based insurance group Ageas (AGES.BR), formerly known as Fortis, for example, agreed a partnership with Turkish conglomerate Sabanci Holding (SAHOL.IS) last year, buying a 31 percent stake in its non-life insurer unit Aksigorta (AKGRT.IS) for $220 million.
Gothaer Group GVVVAA.UL completed the acquisition of Poland's Polskie Towarzystwo Ubezpieczen (PTU) last year as a part of its strategy to tap growth in eastern European insurance markets.

OPPO's Mobile World Congress announcement didn't include a single device, but the world's eighth-largest phone maker, which shipped 50 million units last year, made the most of its time in the spotlight by unveiling two smartphone technologies that push the industry forward in a big way.
And no, we're not talking making a return to waterproofing, sandwiching a phone between layers of curved glass, and bringing VR experiences into the mainstream, or swapping out the bottom part of the housing with modular accessories. Samsung and LG may have won many hearts with their 2016 flagships, but real innovation — the kind we can all be excited about — can be found on OPPO's MWC show floor.
Because who wouldn't be thrilled to their toes about the prospect of a smartphone camera producing crisp and beautiful photos in poor lighting and — more impressively — getting a full charge in 15 minutes or — gasp! — less? Really. So while we didn't get to see a new OPPO phone in Barcelona, what the company has on the horizon already has us reaching for our wallets and wishing that competing manufacturers are taking notes.
In the imaging department, OPPO announced that it developed the SmartSensor, a smartphone camera sensor with built-in optical image stabilization. The operative word here is "sensor" because previously, companies had to incorporate a gyroscope into the lens to reduce camera shake, mainly due to the size limitations of smartphones.
OPPO says its sensor-based image stabilization system is 10 times more precise than existing technologies and can correct vibrations on three axes instead of two, and that corrections are done in just 15 milliseconds and consumes up to 50 times less power than lens-based systems, which in effect keeps temperatures inside the camera module cool. All this should result in consistently better, brighter, and sharper photos, even in dim lighting.
OPPO's other breakthrough is called Super VOOC, and despite being in its early stages of development, the fast-charging technology has shown a lot of promise. Just how promising, you ask? Well, think 10 hours of talk time from a five-minute charge and going from zero to full in 15 minutes, or roughly the combined length of three music videos.
Granted, we're talking juicing up a dead 2,500mAh battery, but that's still faster than Qualcomm could manage with its Snapdragon 820 chipset (zero to 80 percent in 35 minutes).
If the technology lives up to its claims, we might be looking at an end to long charging times (for future OPPO phones at least). It would likely be limited to the company's devices, as Super VOOC likely requires a specific set of specifications to work. But knowing how the industry works, it could only be a matter of time before rival brands and chipset makers reveal a similar breakthrough. Which is why OPPO, while remaining tight-lipped about future products, might have made the most important announcement at MWC this year.

RPS and CPPE launch Faculty handbook for practice-based pharmacists
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) and Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education (CPPE) have published a Faculty handbook for pharmacists on the CPPE general practice pharmacist training pathway (GPPTP), a programme created by Health Education England to equip pharmacists for work in the general practice.
The handbook, which was published on 20 February 2017, aims to support practice-based pharmacists across England, and provides an overview of the RPS Faculty, guidance on how to build a portfolio and prepare for submission, and examples of evidence for pharmacists working in general practice.
The RPS and CPPE have worked together to align the GPPTP assessments with RPS Faculty submission. Work completed in the different assessments, learning sets, study days, self-study activities and practice work of GPPTP can all be put towards a Faculty submission. According to the handbook, having GPPT assessments as part of the RPS Faculty membership offers credentials that are "meaningful to GPs and demonstrate pharmacists' advanced practice".
The handbook is also aimed at education and training providers, mentors and employers interested in the GPPTP.

Are Atheists Anti-Christian?:

Although this is by no means true of all atheists or atheism itself, there is some validity behind the perception that atheists are anti-Christian and it should be taken seriously. There is no ignoring the fact that many atheist web sites and atheist books spend a great deal of time with the doctrines and beliefs which are specific to Christianity or, at the very least, to traditional forms of Western monotheism while at the same time ignoring other religions and more general theistic beliefs. Why is that? Atheists Aren't Necessarily Anti-Christian

Are Atheists Bigoted Against Christians?:

This is similar to the claim that atheists are anti-Christian because of the time they spend on critiquing Christianity; it is, however, a more general assertion and merits being addressed separately. Is it a legitimate complaint that atheists are bigoted when it comes to Christianity? That is to say, are atheists intolerant of Christianity, Christian beliefs, Christian institutions, etc.? Even if this is true, what impact if any does this have on atheism and atheists' critiques of Christianity? Atheists Aren't Necessarily Bigoted

Militant Atheists Try to Marginalize Christianity, Christians:

Atheists are not only a small minority with little power or influence, but they are also the most despised and distrusted minority in America. This makes them unlikely oppressors of Christians, a majority standing behind the levers of power in society, but this is what many Christians believe. They insist that there is a cabal of godless atheist secularists trying to marginalize Christians and Christianity. These feelings of alienation are genuine, but their target for blame is inaccurate. Militant Atheists Marginalize Christianity

Militant Atheists Demonize Christians as anti-Science, anti-Intellectual:

Atheists today are no less vocal or sharp in their criticisms of theism and religion than they were last year or ten years ago; however, there have been a few very high-profiles books and criticisms which appear to have set some religious theists on edge. They are not accustomed to such pointed, direct attempts to refute or undermine their beliefs and feel they are being demonized by irreligious atheists. Disagreeing with someone and saying they are wrong is not demonization, however. Militant Atheists Demonize Christians

Are Atheists Anti-Theistic or Anti-God?:

Atheism and anti-theism so often occur together at the same time and in the same person that it's understandable if many people fail to realize that they aren't the same. Making note of the difference is important, however, because not every atheist is anti-theistic and even those who are, aren't anti-theistic all the time. Atheism is simply the absence of belief in gods; anti-theism is a conscious and deliberate opposition to theistic belief. Many atheists are also anti-theists, but not all. Atheists Aren't Necessarily Anti-Theistic

Are Atheists Anti-Religion?:

Atheists are often seen critiquing religion, so the perception can develop that atheism itself must be an anti-religious position \u0097 but this is not true. Atheism is simply the absence of beliefs in gods and is a position which can occur inside or outside the context of religion. Thus, an atheist might be devoutly religious, devoutly anti-religious, or completely apathetic with regards to religion \u0097 exactly as is the case with theists. It all depends on the individual and what ideas, beliefs, or principles they have aside from atheism. Some Atheists are Anti-Religion

Atheists Want to Impose their Secular Religion on America:

There is a popular belief with America's Christian Right that secularism is an atheistic conspiracy and an attempt by atheists to impose a secular religion on America. This would undermine Christians' religious liberty and force them to conform to atheists' secular, possibly communist, vision for America. None of this is even remotely correct: most atheists are not religious, secularism by definition cannot be a religion, atheists are not trying to undermine religious liberty, and secularism protects all Americans' religious liberty \u0097 including Christians' liberty. Atheists Aren't Imposing a Religion on America

Is Being Public, Unapologetic About Atheism Really Anti-Theism?:

If it weren't bad enough that atheists exist, some atheists actually dare to admit to being atheists in public. Many atheists seem to remain cowed and afraid enough to keep their atheism quiet, but growing numbers are unapologetic about not believing in any gods and will actually say so to others. This appears to bother some religious theists \u0097 even to the point where they will accuse atheists of actually being anti-theists simply for their openness and honesty about disbelief in gods. Public Atheism is Not Anti-Theism

Should Atheists Eliminate All Religious Influences From their Lives?:

For most atheists, simply not being religious and not participating in any overly religious rituals or activities is sufficient. For some atheists, though, there is the feeling that any connection with religion may be hypocritical and may only be serving to reinforce the assumption that religion is acceptable. They argue that it would be better to strip all religious aspects from their lives, otherwise, they can't claim to be leading truly irreligious, rational, and naturalistic lives. Separating Oneself from Religion, Religious Influences

I am looking into a new kit supplier for Australia as Duckflat have moved out of that side of the business.
So the article below is about the kit that was.
We are looking at new ways of getting better kits into Australia right now.
Lot of background stuff happening over the last few weeks. Duckflat has been developing up a precut kit for the Goat Island Skiff and the Eureka Canoe.
Gosh it has been a steep learning curve. Have been back and forth with the cutting people to get things to work correctly. Computer cutters (the machines) are really dumb. But the engineering guys who run them have been extremely helpful and patient.
Ted decided to to a test run with a 1/4 scale version of the Goat.
These are all the main bits for the hull.
It is a great reminder of what a simple boat the GIS is. That is the LOT.
On the full size version there will be more detailed bits … like all the little gussets that hold the sub seat structure together will be precut too .. limber holes too.
There still will be a bit of trimming to be done so some parts have been left with a bit of excess because some parts of every boat take the bends a bit differently.
We are just a hair's breadth from releasing them. If anyone is interested it is Duckflat's baby … so contact them (not me) via their website www.duckflatwoodenboats.com
But I can talk about some of the generalities of computer cutting boat kits here.

Rosemary's Baby (and Lavender too)
Working from home means more time to procrastinate and change your main focus into something interesting, like planting herbs indoor or dreaming of natural home fragrances.
I started to plant rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) and lavender (Lavandula) in pots on March 13. Using pre-mixed coco peat and seeds from Paris Garden (available at Ace Hardware, Jakarta with extremely cheap per pack and contains sufficient seeds for more than 10 pots). Entering the third week, seeds mostly from lavender pots had germinated, leaving only three seeds on rosemary pots. Most gardeners said, Rosemary is rather difficult to grow from seeds. Hence propagating from full-grown Rosemary is highly recommended for novice.
Curiosity kills, as I always said to myself. Not enough with coco peat, I tried cotton pads method. Just like growing mung beans (kacang hijau in Bahasa Indonesia) and still it works ;)
Main key to grow herbs is less water, full sun and mal-treatment. Seriously, they will die if you're paying too much attention.

President Donald Trump's previous comments about his former national security adviser Mike Flynn are being scrutinized Tuesday night after multiple news outlets reported that Trump asked FBI Director James Comey to drop the Flynn investigation before Comey was fired on May 9.
"I hope you can let this go," Trump was alleged to have said to Comey, according to one of Comey's memos cited by The New York Times.
Flynn was forced out of the Trump administration for misleading Vice President Mike Pence and other officials about discussions he had with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Those discussions included the matter of US sanctions against Russia, and were held prior to Trump's inauguration.
Former deputy attorney general Sally Yates warned the White House that Flynn's phone calls with the ambassador were liable to make Flynn vulnerable to Russian blackmail.
Since then, Trump has defended his longtime surrogate even after learning of his deception. This wouldn't be the first time Trump has been placed in an awkward position of defending the adviser he fired — the same one under federal scrutiny — and at the center of the recent string of scandals from the White House.
Here are several times Trump has defended former national security adviser Michael Flynn:
