| Zuzanny chapter 5 . 1/22/2013
i really enjoyed this fic.
| ElsaFrozen chapter 5 . 9/16/2012
Very interesting. I like how you showed Puck's point of view in these episodes.
| shadowwriter01 chapter 5 . 6/5/2012
Interesting chapter.
| PeaceLightVictory chapter 5 . 6/1/2012
Poor Puck!
Not fair at all. That scene in the show always fascinated me. I love how you wrote it.
| Anon chapter 5 . 5/31/2012
I liked this chapter. I liked of Puck's inner thoughts - how he was terrifed of Oberon, but didn't let it show on the outside. Great job!
| Anon chapter 4 . 5/30/2012
Yay, a new chapter!
Just … just don't kill him with iron or anything, all right? He may be a pompous jackass, but he's still …
Still what?
| James Birdsong chapter 4 . 5/26/2012
Good. Yay it is excellent.
| Sonar chapter 4 . 5/26/2012
Nicely done.
| Page-Mistress chapter 4 . 5/24/2012
Here's an idea for you.
Technically, it's not looking back if he sees them in the reflection from a window.
| CMR Rosa chapter 4 . 5/24/2012
Another good chapter.
| Anon chapter 3 . 5/14/2012
"…Thailog was killed in the Clone Wars."
Yeah, sure. Okay, so it's a Star Wars reference. Whatever, it still works.
And then … instead of handing it over, he simply shook it out of the pouch and let it fall to the ground.
Son of a …!
He let out a string of obscenities in language that hadn't been spoken for thousands of years...
Amazingly funny!
| Bookwyrm chapter 3 . 5/14/2012
Totally love your story! I especially liked Puck's point of view during Goliath's 'dream.'
"Oh yes, the sun. Can you see it, Goliath? It's beautiful."
Wow. I deserve an Emmy for this. Or an Oscar. Or something.
Wonder how Puck will react to Alexander when he's born.
Keep up the good work!
| James Birdsong chapter 3 . 5/13/2012
Excellent third chapter.
| shadowwriter01 chapter 3 . 5/7/2012
Great chapter. Very good is the part about the illusions Puck put on Goliath from his p.o.v.
| CMR Rosa chapter 3 . 5/6/2012
Great chapter, everyone was in character.

Gold prices fell on Tuesday as the prospect that Greece will default on a repayment to the IMF knocked the euro.» Read More
An interesting take on why Germany central banker Axel Weber appears to have taken himself out of the competition.
Tracking the ups and downs of the euro debate is a little wearying. Policy decisions are postponed, inflation hawks suddenly turn dovish, Germany sends conflicting signals on helping (or not helping) weaker neighbors…you get the picture.
...and jitters are spreading—it's time for your FX Fix.
European shares were set for a mixed open on Wednesday, staying close to 29-month highs, as worries about the effect of China raising rates were offset by some strong corporate data.
It is important to recognize the idea that the U.S. bond market is in the latter stages of a 30-year journey during which a "duration tailwind" pushed down market interest rates and boosted returns.
The French financial markets regulator has begun to require hedge funds and other investment managers to disclose their short positions when they reach 0.5 percent of a company's outstanding stock, reports the New York Times.
European stock index futures pointed to a mixed open for equities on Tuesday, with shares pausing for breath after a rally since the beginning of the month.
Three things you need to know about this week - what will the Bank of England do, what will Bernanke say and watching the currency wars.
A central banker need not be loved, but at the least he should command respect — and in Britain these days Mervyn King cannot count on either, reports the New York Times.
As protests continued for a 12th day, Egypt's newly named vice president and other top military leaders were discussing steps to limit President Mubarak's decision-making authority and possibly remove him from the presidential palace in Cairo, the NYT reports.
When the heads of the EU meet in Brussels on Friday, they will hear new ideas on how to save the euro, delivered by Mrs. Merkel and the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, but written largely in Berlin, reports the New York Times.
European shares were set to rise on Friday, tracking gains on Wall Street, as encouraging weekly U.S. jobless data boosted confidence about a recovery in the labor market.
European shares were expected to slip in opening trade on Thursday, with a recent rally losing steam as investors stayed cautious.
European shares were set to rise on Wednesday, tracking advances on Wall Street and in Japan and extending gains from the previous session.
Lewis said he found it "amazing" that the Irish government has "socialized" the banks—some $80 billion in senior and subordinated debt—and made it the financial responsibility of Irish taxpayers, who didn't create it.
Optimism about the US economy is based on three factors—that the US is not another "Japan," that the European Central Bank is helping Europe's financial institutions the same way the Federal Reserve is aiding those in the US and that President Obama is moving toward the center, Leon Cooperman, chairman CEO of Omega Advisors, told CNBC Tuesday.
The European Central Bank suspended its emergency purchases of euro zone government bonds last week as the debt crisis eased, allowing it to focus on combating rising inflation, reports the Financial Times.
Financial bookmakers predicted gains for the leading European benchmark indexes on Tuesday, with the focus seen shifting back to the economic outlook and company earnings.
An overwhelming majority of business and financial leaders from around the world think there is a chance that one or more eurozone countries will leave monetary union over the next three years, reports the Financial Times.
Europe's banking system is returning to health amid signs that financial institutions are no longer hoarding cash, according to key indicators, reports the Financial Times.

37 year old man | Bakersfield, CA, USA | Seeking women 25-42 within 100 miles
Active within 24 hours
Looking for a partner in wine.
Hello, I grew on the East Coast...the South to be more specific. I do say "y'all" and "ma'am" and "thank you"...and sometimes in that order. I thank my parents for this home training as well as teaching me right from wrong. I moved to California right after college and have lived here for the past ten years. I just recently moved to Tehachapi and I work in Bakersfield. I've lived in the mountains and on the coast. I love aspects of both...the sound and smell of the ocean and the crisp, tree/sage smelling air of the mountains. I love the outdoors and appreciate the beauty on God's green earth. There truly are some amazing places on this planet, and I long to see all of them. Will you join me? I am passionate about all things I endeavor. I enjoy photography, hiking, snow skiing, rockhunting, art, wine, and cooking. What are your passions? I am looking for a fun, attractive, well mannered lady that will stimulate me on all levels...mind, body and soul. Challenge me. Support me. I plan to do the same.
Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Golf, Running, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs
I love the Central Coast and the Eastern Sierras. I love all the nooks and crannies (yes, I said that) of the Sierra Nevadas. Never been, but I want to stay in those over-the-water huts in Bora Bora (I want that...please help).
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, VA
A bottle of wine with good company (I think it's a law that wine can't be consumed alone), watching a sunrise/moon set (I'll explain), the smell of a homecooked meal, building a fire (yes, me caveman), and other stuff.
I enjoy finding new restaurants and finding new "regular" spots. Don't you know the best food is at the bowling alley?
Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Hartford Wisconsin Golf Courses
|Hartford Golf Club
|Washington County Golf Course
Featured Golf Course Review:
|Hartford Golf Club -- Pro Golfer
|Review by: G ZAK
|I am a member of this golf course. It is always fun to play and gives many opportunities to amateur golfers. All three courses range in difficulty and allow delicate shots and a varity of movment on your ball. Many dog legs and the greens are perfect most of the year especcially before and after the club championship.
|From CT
Golf Courses: Additional Golf Course Reviews:
|Pine Valley Golf Course -- Two stars is so much better than one
|Review by: Jesse Maas
|I've played most of the courses in the Wausau area and, as a poor college student golfer, I'll say this is the best golf you'll get for your buck. Equally as inexpensive as the other courses in the area, but you won't find your drives and approaches in the natural hazards created by the lack of attention that so many other low-budget courses get. They have different colored flags and different tee boxes not just for show but because they've actually got big enough greens and long enough holes that one can play the course differently accordingly. A nice, long, wide open back nine with a 575-ard par five and the par 3 "signature hole". Challenging par 4's throughout the 18 that will put your decision-making and club-chosing to the test. It's one of those courses that will make you play it a few times to achieve the score that you're truly capable of. My three complaints: it gets pretty sloppy during the wet parts of the year, the front is a par 35 -which I don't like-, and the student-rate membership fee is near $700, significantly higher than its competition (although that would only apply were you a student and wanted a membership). A solid course overall, two stars over one any day of the week, any time of the year.
|From Wausau, WI USA

Gotcha. I suspect the system as rolled out was taught to err on the side of caution, to start. I suspect players got reamed out more for attacking when they shouldn't, versus the opposite. It makes sense to me, which way to err.
These were a bunch of get up and go players. It understandably will take time reprogram the brains. They have to learn to read and it all starts with Ovi. Now while I appreciate Bruce's system of constant pressure on the opposition, it ran its course, and did get it's fair shake. We just blindly charged and in war, you are going to take your lumps. And lumps we took.
Who's with me, charge! Look at Brooks and Erskine.
A guy like Nick may be our prototypical trapper. Great defensive awareness and the offensive skills to convert. I am thrilled he is skating. I may be the only one but I like the small signs of success we are seeing. It just may be coming together. We just need a f'in goalie to step up and seize the wide open spot.
Its our turn to do some shooting. We need to have the guns at the ready and mow em down when they come over the trenches. Once we get good at that, the counter offensive will commence.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
McCarthy says Woodson cleared to play

Wood can't cover anymore, but he might be the only member of that secondary willing to drill Peterson.Hide replies
Agreed. Hopefully his willingness will rub off on Tramon.
Hopefully, Woodson will be in Tramon's face, telling him, "You get out there and TACKLE or I'll kick your a*ss up and down the clubhouse!!!"
Montee, I agree, I hope Wood can influence Tramon to man up a little, he should be embarrassed to watch the game tape from the last game.
Tramon is too pretty to tackle anybody. Nice wavy hair, pretty things in his ears.
Why did all of us fans notice Tramon didn't want no part of AP but the coaches didn't notice???
For sure Wood has lost a step in coverage but lacks nothing in courage to smack ball carriers and sacrifice his body to make a play. And Naz, I would think the embarassment of the film room would make him want to go out and do a better job. My mother could have done a better job and she is 93.
Woodson will have a bigger impact on the passing game than he will in the box against Peterson.
Wood better bring the wood against AP or it may be one and done for the Pack.
Having Charles Woodson back is huge. He should help prevent some of those lapses on 3rd-and-long that we saw on Sunday. As others have noted, he will also help in run defense. The secondary has done a decent job in his absence, but Wood's intelligence and toughness will take them to the next level, the level needed at playoff time.
Charles Woodson will sell out his body on every play. He will be rusty but it will not matter. He will be part of a relatively new wrinkle defense where he will "spy" AD every play. Remember, the Vikings pull out Peterson on third downs. Crazy, isn't it? Idiot coaches still don't get that he can get you 20 yards more predictably than Ponder.Hide replies
well said.Vikes coaches take him out on third downs. the guy does all that on two downs. wow.
Wood being back comes a game too late.
Go Wood. Show them how to wrap up and tackle. Get in Ponder's grille!

Sit Williams
Pack played almost no "base" in GB in first game with CJ out, but it seemed like they were in base on 1st and 2nd every time 28 was on he field Sunday.
the ability to run base at Lambeau should help slow AP on grass
Perfect game for Woodson to return. While his coverage skills have declined a bit, not as big a deal against the Vikes as against others. His acknowledged toughness against the run and leadership should be big in holding AP down a bit.Hide replies
Old Packers used to talk about Willie Wood giving them "the look" and some tough words when they messed up in front of him. LB's and DB's used to say they hated to look back at him when they didn't do their jobs. Hope that Woodson gets on Williams if he plays matador tackle again.
No doubt. Great story!

An American Idol's Private Pain
As David Cook Gives His All in the Competition, He's Quietly Coping with a Stressful Family Crisis: His Brother's Cancer
What Cook didn't reveal was that he's coping with more than the typical Idol pressures: His half brother, Adam Cook, 36, is undergoing treatment for cancer. Says Kenneth Cohen, Adam's father-in-law: "David and Adam are very close. David was just down [in Indiana, where Adam lives] two weeks ago visiting him."
Adam, an attorney who is married with two children, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 1998, several sources say. In remission until 2006, the cancer has now spread, and Adam is undergoing chemotherapy. David and Adam were both unavailable for comment. "David doesn't want American Idol to overshadow this very important fight," says Susan Cooper, David's former theater teacher in his native Blue Springs, Mo.
Last year's Idol winner, Jordin Sparks, understands the strain: She lost a friend, her uncle and her grandmother during the contest last year. "You have to go out there and put this smile on your face. It's exhausting, and it gets to you," Sparks says. "David is definitely in my prayers."

Colorado And Washington Just Became The First States To LEGALIZE Marijuana
Okay, so be honest. Who's moving to Colorado or Washington?
1. With 47% of the results in, it appears that Amendment 64 has passed in Colorado:
2. And with 50% of the vote in, it appears Initiative 502 has passed in Washington:
What is Ammendment 64? Well, simply put, it allows for the "personal use and regulation of marijuana" for adults 21 and over. Initiative 502 would do the same, allowing the state to "legalize, regulate and tax sales of small amounts of marijuana."
4. Do you know what that means?
16. That's right.

In a SRAM structure, space and power saving is achieved by providing row and column select lines to select a specific bit cell, and reducing the number of bit lines in the structure used for writing to and reading from the bit cells. The number of bit lines is reduced by sharing bit lines of adjacent bit cells. Furthermore, in order to achieve power saving, the load on the row select lines is reduced by sharing the pass gates between adjacent bit cells that are used to control precharging, reading from and writing to the bit cells.
1. A memory structure, comprising
a plurality of 6T memory cells each comprising two NMOS and two PMOS transistors with the drains of the NMOS transistors connected to the drains of the PMOS transistors, and further comprising two pass gates,
a plurality of row select lines for selecting rows of memory cells in the structure, wherein the row select lines present a load,
a plurality of column select lines, which together with the row select lines allow individual memory cells to be selected for precharging, and
a pair of bit lines for each memory cell, wherein adjacent memory cells share a bit line to define a shared bit line, the selecting of memory cells comprising using logic that includes a first set of pass gates controlled by the row select lines and a second set of pass gates controlled by the column select lines, the load on the row select lines being reduced by sharing pass gates between adjacent memory cells in a row.
2. A memory structure of
3. A memory structure of
The invention relates to semiconductor memories and in particular to Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), with a view to achieving space and power saving.
Random Access Memory (RAM) retains information by maintaining a differential charge across a pairs of bit lines for each memory cell. One prior art RAM structure is shown in
During static mode, charge is maintained on the bit cells by keeping the word line 202 at logic zero (Ground) while precharging the bit lines 204, 206 to VDD.
In write mode, a logic 1 or 0 is programmed into the memory cell 200 by driving the word line 202 to a logic 1 and applying a differential voltage across the bit lines 204, 206 (logic 1 on bit line 204, and logic 0 on bit line 206 programs the cell 200 to a logic 1, and vice versa).
During read mode, a differential voltage is detected across the bit lines by driving the word line 202 to logic 1 and allowing the bit lines to discharge. The logic state of the bit cell 200 determines the nature of the discharge. For instance, if the cell was programmed to logic 1 (bit line 206 driven to logic 1 and bit line 204 driven to logic 0) then bit line 204 would discharge and bit line 206 would remain at VDD since before each read or write, every bit lines is precharged to VDD. Thus, if the logic state of the bit cell is 1, bit line 204 will be maintained at VDD.
Referring to
It will be appreciated that during each read or write operation, an entire row of precharged memory cells is discharged, thereby consuming a lot of AC power. It is therefore desirable to reduce this power consumption. One such approach was described in prior U.S. patent application owned by the same assignee and entitled "Low Power SRAM Architecture". This solution made use of 8 transistor (8T) memory cells 300 as shown in
The loading on an active wordline depends on the total number of bit cells in a row. Furthermore, a typical 6T bit cell has 2 wordline pass gates, therefore the load is big.
The present invention seeks to reduce the load on the word line while also achieving a space saving.
The present invention provides a method and structure for saving space and reducing power consumption in Random Access Memory (RAM) during read and write operations by sharing bit lines and pass gates between adjacent memory cells.
According to the invention, there is provided a memory structure comprising a plurality of memory cells wherein each memory cell is individually selectable, a plurality of row select lines, a plurality of column select lines, and a pair of bit lines for each memory cell, wherein adjacent memory cells share a bit line. Typically the structure includes logic such as pass gates to allow the row select lines to select a particular row of memory cells. Preferably adjacent memory cells in a row share pass gates to reduce the load on the row select lines, which are typically word lines. The structure may be a synchronous or an asynchronous structure. In the case of a synchronous structure, the structure may include logic to control precharging of a shared bit line by two adjacent column select lines. For instance, adjacent column select lines can be ORed to control a pre-charge transistor that precharges a shared bit line.
Further, according to the invention, there is provided a SRAM structure, comprising a plurality of bit cells with bit lines for writing to and reading from the bit cells, wherein adjacent bit cells share bit lines. Each bit cell in the SRAM structure typically includes pass gates controlled by a row select line. However, it will be appreciated that instead of pass gates other types of control circuitry can be implemented to control access to the bit cells. Preferably, the pass gates are shared by adjacent bit cells to reduce the load on the row select lines.
Still further, according to the invention, there is provided a method of improving a SRAM structure, comprising sharing bit lines between adjacent bit cells to reduce the size of the structure. The method may further include sharing pass gates between adjacent bit cells for reading and writing to the bit cells.
If one looks at a prior art SRAM structure such as the one shown in
While the above structure provides for a space saving by reducing the memory area, it does not reduce the active power consumption, since the total active load remains the same for each read/write operation. The present invention addresses this issue by sharing the adjacent pass gates 510, 512, as shown in
The functionality is not affected by this change in structure. For instance, when word line 610 (WL0) and column select line 612 (LYS00) are on or at logic 1, bit cell 620 is selected, and bit lines 630 (BT00) and 632 (BB01) will be sensed (LYS10 and LYS20 depict the column select lines for the next two columns, as shown both in
It will be appreciated that the memory cells are now essentially 6 transistor (6T) memory cells with two shared NMOS pass gates.
One embodiment of a synchronous application of the invention is shown in
Another embodiment of a SRAM structure is described in concurrently filed application by the same applicants, entitled "LOW AC POWER SRAM ARCHITECTURE", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. This architecture makes use of sector select lines to define selectable sectors in the SRAM matrix. The concepts of the present invention are equally applicable to this structure, as shown in
In both synchronous and asynchronous applications, the present invention thus achieves a significant space and power saving over the prior art by making use of bit line sharing and pass gate sharing. It will be appreciated that the SRAM structure could be implemented in different ways without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the claims.

DEFINITION of 'Advertising Budget'
An estimation of a company's promotional expenditures over a period of time. An advertising budget is the money a company is willing to set aside to accomplish its marketing objectives. When creating the advertising budget, a company must weigh the trade-offs between spending one additional advertising dollar with the amount of revenue that dollar will bring in as revenue.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Advertising Budget'
Companies can determine what level to set their advertising budget several different ways, each of which has its positives and negatives. A business can set its budget as a percentage of sales, at the same level as its competitors, as the amount required to meet a certain objective, as the entirety of its profits or as a function of the units of product it wants to sell among others.

An application of Roundup should do the trick. Then, put landscape fabric down before you spread the mulch or stone. Should work fine that way.
You could dig the grass out by hand, then put down the fabric, and you'd probably be fine that way too. But this isn't very practical unless it's a very small area -- sod can be a lot of work to dig out! Spraying is definitely the easier way to do it.

Kristen from Tulsa, OK – Verified Buyer
This unit is just what my husband needed to organize his woodshop. Assembly is tool-free except we used a rubber mallet to set the cross-pieces. The instructions were a little confusing, but after a few mistakes, a lot of cursing and a small blood-blister, it is together and functioning nicely. I should mention two small issues. When shopping for this item, the description was unclear about the capacity per shelf, and I had to research through other sites and a phone call or two to get clarification. Finally, I was expecting delivery as predicted, but nowhere was I instructed to call the shipping company to arrange a delivery datetime. I wish I'd been aware of that, because my item would've arrived sooner.

This is show biz so who knows what to believe.

Do you need a freezer in the garage to stash ice cream-loving hoards? Hordes of people want to know. Maybe we can ask the writer for Yahoo! Travel:
What do hordes of harried shoppers hoard? That's what I want to know after reading this on Yahoo! DIY:
For people concerned about the impression they make, correct grammar is a chance to display their intelligence to friends and family (and maybe instill pride in themselves, too).
People who write correctly know not to change person in a sentence.They know that if you start writing about "people on a budget" you don't switch to "yourself," but rather use the pronoun "themselves" because its antecedent is "people."
The horde of journalists waiting outside St Mary's Hospital in London are hoarding something, if you believe Yahoo! Shine:
Back in the day of newspapers that printed news on paper, hordes of reporters hoarded notepads, number 2 pencils, and confidential sources. Now in the day of the Interwebs, what does the press hoard? That's the question I'm left with after reading this:
I'm guessin' that over at Yahoo! Shine it's not dictionaries.
When you find a horrific homophonic error in the second sentence of an article, perhaps you should take it as a sign to stop reading. That's the advice I'd give to anyone who ventures into the world of Yahoo! Shine. The hordes of people who stumble on this article will be disappointed:
In a serious article about a tragic incident, the writer gets careless with an extra word here:
and some very mixed up words there:
I think I know what you're feeling about this common error: Depression. Fear for the future of the English language.
And this little mistake isn't going to make you feel any better:
What do young swimmers hoard? I have no idea, and neither does the writer for Yahoo! Shine:
A hoard is a hidden supply or cache. A large group or swarm is a horde. So, she didn't learn that in school. Did she learn anything about chemistry in school? Like how to capitalize pH?
Did she learn that the names of the days of the week are capitalized?
I guess not. I wonder what other errors she's hoarding and when she'll drop them on the public.
Clearly there are lots of homophonous errors on Yahoo! Shine, and this is just one more:
The hoards of Crocs devotees are Crocs; the multitude of Crocs devotees is a horde.
Whoever thinks that this is correct, please call the lead editor at Yahoo! Shine; I think they have a writing job for you:
See, Shine doesn't require that writers actually be familiar with the English language and grammar. If you think you'll sound more intelligent and educated by using whom instead of who and whomever instead of whoever, you might fit right in. Never mind that the correct word is whoever (because it's the subject of the verb); whomever just sounds so much brainier.
If you don't think there's a difference between two words that sound alike (but are spelled differently and have different meanings), then you should join the hordes of Shine fans, who seem to be oblivious to mistakes like this:
And if you think any lady looks chic shopping at Target, apply now to Shine. But if you think there's a word missing that totally changes the meaning of this sentence, you may be too smart for the job:
What do marauding zombies hoard? Human brains?
Is it possible that the senior editor for Yahoo! Shine has mistaken hoard (which a secret supply or cache) with a horde (a large group or crowd)?

The 2009 Open Source Horoscope
April 21 – May 21
Career: Your strength lies in networking. When bringing together the needs of many, there is no alternative to your competence.
Health: Despite constant exertion, you are fit as a fiddle. You benefit from your sensible lifestyle.
Love & Friendship: Even if you don't win the popularity contest, you have every right to be proud of your place in the world. Your social competence makes you an easy party guest. Many appreciate your virtues, but you are rarely the focus of attention.
May 22 – June 21
Career: You have offended many younger colleagues with your arrogant demeanor. With your extensive knowledge, you could achieve far more if you just drop your schoolmarmish airs.
Health: Try to react less emotionally to pressure. More aplomb is the only thing that will keep you healthy.
Love & Friendship: You have become slightly more open, and this is a positive step that has done you good, but it is still just the beginning. If you continue to walk down this path, a whole realm of new opportunities will lie at your feet.
June 22 – July 22
Career: Although you still haven't made the big time, don't give up! You have abilities that some of your colleagues can hardly dream of, and if you continue to work on them, nothing can go wrong.
Health: A robust immune system is something you have always had. Make sure things stay that way!
Love & Friendship: You are frequently overshadowed by others with better connections, but your friends really appreciate you. Although they may not express their fondness as often as you would like, you can still rely on them.

COPENHAGEN – The Namibian government has received US 3 million dollars to partly fund its adaption programme on climate change, a senior official said in an interview in Copenhagen this week.
Teofilus Nghitila, the director in the environmental affairs directorate said his government was about to disburse the money in extreme weather prone zones of the country.
He said while a final strategy had not been developed the Namibian government was deciding on setting up insurance schemes where people affected by extreme weather could be assisted after loosing property and other belongings.
'There will be some mechanism that would be put in place to address the issues of extreme weather patterns,' he said adding it was premature to reveal all the details.
He added that his country which had been hit by floods and droughts consecutively for the past two year was seeking financial to be able to put in place a comprehensive Adaptation programmes.
'We are in a process of estimating what we will need for the adaption programmes in the areas of agriculture, energy, water and health,' he said.
Nghitila is in Copenhagen attending the Climate Change summit which is seeking to come up with a deal to address reduction in carbon emissions among others. He added that Prime Minister, Nahas Angula, will lead a high level delegation to Copenhagen next week to participate at the summit.

Inherited smarts: Studies show that chimpanzees' cognitive abilities are strongly influenced by genetics. The findings may help shed light on the rise of intelligence in humans.
Scientists discover that chimpanzees inherit much of their intelligence from their parents, although other factors also play a part.
If you're a chimp, the smarts you have are in large part the smarts you were born with, according to a new study that put 99 chimpanzees through a battery of intelligence tests. The findings, published in the journal Current Biology, show that many cognitive abilities are strongly influenced by genetics — and may help shed light on the rise of intelligence in humans.
Research into human IQ has shown that children do indeed inherit their intelligence levels from their parents, authors wrote — but that intelligence can be "modified by non-genetic mechanisms" like socioeconomic status. Studying animals, however, can provide insight into the genetic basis of intelligence without those confounding factors that crop up in human cases.
For this study, researchers from Georgia State University in Atlanta took 99 captive chimpanzees ages nine to 54 and subjected them to 13 different IQ tests spanning a range of different cognitive abilities, from communication skills to spatial reasoning and tool use.
For example, in a sort of shell game, they challenged chimps to remember which of three containers hid a tasty morsel of food. This task tested their spatial memory. Researchers also put some food out of reach and waited to see if the chimps could successfully get a human to help them get it — a test of communication skills.
The scientists ran the chimps' performance against a number of potential confounding factors, including the animals' sex, age and rearing history and found that genetic differences appeared to account for 54.2% of intelligence — a slight majority of a given chimp's smarts.
But nature didn't trump nurture in all aspects of intelligence. Genes didn't seem to play a strong role across all of the 13 different cognitive abilities tested. Cognitive abilities involving spatial memory, communication and attention state (among others) seemed significantly inheritable, while skills such as tool use were not.
There could be very good evolutionary reasons that spatial memory and communication skills were inheritable, the study authors wrote.
"Presumably, these attributes would have conferred advantages to some individuals, perhaps in terms of enhanced foraging skills or increased social skills, leading to increased opportunities for access to food or mating," the study authors wrote. "These individuals would have then potentially had increased survival and fitness, traits that would have become increasingly selected upon during primate evolution." — Los Angeles Times/McClatchy-Tribune Information Services
