"My Life In Full" by Indra Nooyi
I would recommend this book to every Indian student of business and practicing professionals as well for it was an absorbing read. The full title is "My Life in Full: Work, Family and Our Future" and it was first published by Portfolio in September 2021.
This is the story of Indra Krishnamurthy Nooyi – a middle class Tamil girl born in Chennai, India in 1955, who we now know for having been the CEO of PepsiCo– one of the largest business corporations in the world. There were many firsts in her career. Ms Nooyi was the first woman to become the CEO of PepsiCo , the first person of colour and an immigrant to reach the highest position in a Fortune 50 corporation. For many years, she featured in the list of The Most Powerful Women in the world.
Like most middle-class families in Chennai- if not everywhere in India- the focus of her early life was on attaining a good education. She says in her conservative Brahmin family, "education was everything". Naturally, from a young age she was accustomed to striving for excellence- a high priority for her family. In her early life, she looked up to her paternal grandfather, apart from her parents, for guidance and support in all that she did.
Nooyi speaks at length about their house in Chennai. We get considerable detail about her life- growing up with her elder sister, younger brother, parents, and grandfather -in a large house where many traditions were followed. She shone in her studies at the Holy Angels Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School, run by Irish nuns, and later at the famous Madras Christian College. In both places, she was an excellent debater and took part in many extra-curricular activities. In those years, it was unheard of to have an all girls rock band but she was part of one!
She then did her Post Graduate Degree in Management from the prestigious Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta . Here she was one of the very few girls in the class, as also one of the few fresh graduates who did not have work experience. On graduation in 1976, she worked with Mettur Beardsell and Johnson & Johnson in India before leaving for the United States for a Master's degree in Public and Private Management at the Yale University's School of Management in 1978.
She was selected by the Boston Consulting Group in 1980. Even to this day she rates her experience there very highly. Then followed stints with progressively higher responsibilities at Motorola and Asea Brown Boveri, where again she achieved considerable professional success. She then joined PepsiCo in 1994. While still in her early 30s, she was in the Executive Group of a major US corporation. She became the President and Chief Financial Officer in 2001 and was appointed as the CEO in 2006. She held that high office till 2018. During her years at the helm of PepsiCo, the business revenues grew by 80 % to $ 63 billion. There were many strategic initiatives she introduced including her much admired Performance with Purpose program.
Ms. Nooyi is candid enough to admit that she had lucky breaks in her career. Fortunately for her, she had mentors who saw the potential in her and helped her develop skills by pushing her towards challenging assignments.
She got married in 1980 to Raj Nooyi. In the book, she writes at length about the struggles they had managing their careers and their growing family of two daughters. Here too she is quick to give credit to her support system by way of family, especially her mother, and other relatives from her husband's family who pitched in to help them out. By the way, I never knew that Nooyi is a small village in the Dakshina Kannada district of my home state of Karnataka.
She is often asked about how it was to become a woman in the top echelons of corporate life. All over the world, the infamous glass ceiling frequently restricts women from progressing in their careers. Seldom do they reach the very pinnacle as Ms Nooyi did. In this book she shares her views and suggestions, based on her own experience and her observations after interacting with a wide cross section of women at work across all parts of the world.
Overall it was an interesting book. I admire Ms Nooyi for her candidness in describing her career, her family, and the organisations she worked for and led.
Her story is inspirational indeed!

Ecosystem restoration means assisting in the recovery of ecosystems that have been degraded or destroyed, as well as conserving the ecosystems that are still intact. Healthier ecosystems, with richer biodiversity, yield greater benefits such as more fertile soils, bigger yields of timber and fish, and larger stores of greenhouse gases.
Restoration can happen in many ways – for example through actively planting or by removing pressures so that nature can recover on its own. It is not always possible – or desirable – to return an ecosystem to its original state. We still need farmland and infrastructure on land that was once forest, for instance, and ecosystems, like societies, need to adapt to a changing climate.
Between now and 2030, the restoration of 350 million hectares of degraded terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems could generate US$9 trillion in ecosystem services. Restoration could also remove 13 to 26 gigatons of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. The economic benefits of such interventions exceed ten times the cost of investment, whereas inaction is at least three times more costly than ecosystem restoration. All kinds of ecosystems can be restored, including forests, farmlands, cities, wetlands and oceans. Restoration initiatives can be launched by almost anyone, from governments and development agencies to businesses, communities and individuals. That is because the causes of degradation are many and varied, and can have an impact at different scales. Read More

Disagreeable Object To Be Thrown Away
Dimensions 8,97 x 13,50 x 10,19 in.
Foundry Pastori Fondeur
Collection Fondation Giacometti, Paris
The "Disagreeable object to be thrown away" only received that title belatedly, in a letter written in 1947 by Alberto Giacometti to his dealer Pierre Matisse. Before, the artist had simply called it "object" and its somewhat pleasurable character was left for the spectator to appreciate. A drawing by Giacometti from that sculpture was published in the magazine "Le Surréalisme au service de la révolution" in December 1931, under the heading "Mobile and mute objects". As with the "Suspended ball", the mobility of the "Disagreeable object to be thrown away" is latent: balanced on one or two points and its median plane, no position of presentation can exhaust all the possibilities of the object. The work is truly, as Giacometti called it around 1934, an "Object difficult to lay down". It is also a "Walking head", a title published in 1955: when one looks at it from a certain side, one distinctly sees a face with sad eyes, with the two pointed protuberances that can evoke legs on the other side. This work was exhibited for the first time in 1933 at the Pierre Colle gallery, in its wood version (today at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh). The plaster version was displayed for the first time in Zurich in 1934, in a group exhibition of abstract art gathering the works of Arp, Ernst, Giacometti, Gonzalez and Miró, under the title "Object without base II". The casting of the bronzes took place from 1960 at Susse's, and was then continued by Bruno Giacometti at Pastori's in Switzerland after Alberto Giacometti's death.

The Saints did not deserve this win, but the Browns will be the Browns as kicker Zane Gonzalez missed two extra points and two field goals (one being the game-tying field goal with 0:08 seconds left) to lose the game. Again, the Saints had no business winning this game with how poorly they played. The Browns lost the game, but hey at least credit the Browns defense. Their pass rush seemed to confuse the Saints O-line and caused the Saints to only convert four third downs the whole game. If Zane Gonzalez was able to do what kickers are supposed to do, the Browns would have won this game by at least eight.
Last week, I wrote that the Saints defense needed an awakening after their stunning slugfest loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. I also mentioned that someone other than Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara need to step up for this offense. I don't think either happened to be honest with you. Early on it felt as if the offense and defense switched roles from last weekend. The offense scored only THREE POINTS in the first THREE quarters against the Browns. Michael Thomas had another fumble early on along with Ted Ginn, and Drew Brees missed a wide open Ben Watson in the end zone and underthrew what would have been a touchdown to Ted Ginn. It remains to be seen who is going to step up on offense as another threat for Drew Brees.
Once again, Watson with three catches, Ted Ginn with four, and Tre'Quan Smith with just one. It is hard to see who on this team is going to step up and help this offense. Cameron Meredith is still not healthy enough to start, and you can tell Mark Ingram is sorely missed. Kamara cannot be used to his full effectiveness when he is getting 40 touches a game and teams are starting to stack the box. He is much more useful when you can get him in space.
On the other end of the field, the defense did alright I guess. At least a hell of a lot better than they did against the Bucs last Sunday. However, the secondary continues to be a huge concern as Ken Crawly (once again) gives up a 47-yard touchdown score with 1:16 left in the fourth quarter to Antonio Callaway. Crawly once again blows coverage and gets absolutely BURNED (see video below) and then gives up a huge gain to Callaway AGAIN to set up the potential tying field goal!
The other corner, Marshon Lattimore, continues to look like his head got way too big in his Rookie of the Year season because he doesn't look like a lock down corner anymore. Marcus Williams was the only silver lining in this defense as he picked off Tyrod Taylor to set up the Saints go-ahead touchdown. Sean Peyton took the words right out of my mouth in his post-game press conference when he said, "I am not really happy right now. I am glad we won……but we have a lot of work to do." Damn right the Saints do. That secondary is miserable, the pass rush was still nonexistent, and above all the team just looks like they are lost. If Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara weren't on this team, the Saints would be 0-2 easily. Now, they head to Atlanta to take on the Falcons in a huge early season divisional game. Things are going to get a lot more difficult down the stretch with this team's schedule. Sean Peyton is right, this team has A LOT of work to do.
Oh by the way, Michael Thomas is the best wide out in the league. Don't @ me! 269 yards, 3 touchdowns on 28 receptions! That 28 receptions number in two games is another NFL record by the way.

DOJ prosecutors seek testimony from former Vice President Pence in January 6 criminal probe

Justice Department prosecutors have reached out to representatives of former Vice President Mike Pence to seek his testimony in the criminal investigation into efforts by former President Donald Trump and allies to impede the transfer of power after the 2020 election, according to people familiar with the matter.
Pence's team has indicated that the former vice president is open to discussing a possible agreement with the Justice Department to provide some testimony, one person said.
The New York Times first reported the outreach to Pence.
The request occurred before the Justice Department appointed a special counsel to oversee two Trump-related investigations, including the January 6, 2021-related probe and another into alleged mishandling of classified materials found at Trump's Palm Beach, Florida, home and resort. It's unclear how special counsel Jack Smith's appointment will affect discussions between the Justice Department and Pence's team.
The Justice Department declined to comment to CNN, as did a representative for Pence.
Pence recently published a memoir that described some of his interactions with Trump as the former president sought to overturn the 2020 election results. The book's publication had raised anticipation that the Justice Department would likely seek information about those interactions as part of the criminal investigation.
Pence has rebuffed an interview request from the House select committee investigating January 6, but he has allowed top aides to provide testimony in the House's probe, as well as in the Justice Department's criminal investigation.
CNN previously reported that the Justice Department has successfully secured answers from top Pence advisers Greg Jacob and Marc Short in significant court victories that could make it more likely the criminal investigation reaches further into Trump's inner circle.
Jacob's testimony on October 6 marked the first identifiable time when the confidentiality Trump had tried to maintain around the West Wing after the 2020 election had been pierced in the criminal probe following a court battle. A week after Jacob spoke to the grand jury again, Short had his own grand jury appearance date, CNN reported.
Among a large group of former top Trump officials, Jacob has been one of the most searing voices condemning the then-president's actions after the election, especially regarding the pressure he and his election attorney, John Eastman, tried to place on Pence to block the congressional certification of the presidential vote.
In his memoir, the former vice president wrote that Trump warned him days before the January 6 attack on the US Capitol that he would inspire the hatred of hundreds of thousands of people because he was "too honest" to attempt to overturn the 2020 election results.
Saying Trump was "reckless" with his tweet attacking his vice president that day, Pence was critical of the former president over the events surrounding the insurrection. He had told Trump directly afterward, he wrote, that he was angry and that what he'd seen that day infuriated him.
Still, Pence said earlier this month that Congress has "no right" to his testimony and that he was "closing the door" on providing it to the House select committee – prompting swift criticism from the committee's top two members.
"The Select Committee has proceeded respectfully and responsibly in our engagement with Vice President Pence, so it is disappointing that he is misrepresenting the nature of our investigation while giving interviews to promote his new book," said Reps. Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney, who serve as the panel's chair and vice chair, in a joint statement at the time.

Bhopal: Play 'Ranbhumi ki Naika' based on life of queen Velu Nachiyar staged at Saheed Bhavan
It was part of the third day of a seven-day ongoing drama festival 'Aadi Vidrohi' focusing on martyrs of the freedom movement and mass awareness.
A scene from a play 'Ranbhumi ki Naika,' being staged at Saheed Bhavan on Wednesday.
BHOPAL: A play 'Ranbhumi ki Naika,' based on the life of Rani Velu Nachiyar- the first queen of Tamil origin to fight against the British in India, was staged at Saheed Bhavan on Wednesday.
It was part of the third day of a seven-day ongoing drama festival 'Aadi Vidrohi' focusing on martyrs of the freedom movement and mass awareness. Swaraj Sansthan Sanchanalay, Bhopal organised the festival.
Directed by Vibha Shrivastava, the play was presented by more than 30 artistes of Ekrang Socio-Cultural Society, Bhopal. Puja Kevat played the role of Rani Velu Nachiyar who was the princess of Ramnad, and the daughter of Chellamuthu Sethupathy. She married the Raja of Siva Gangai and they had a daughter — Vellachi Nachiar. When her husband was killed, she was drawn into battle. Her husband and his second wife were killed by a few British soldiers and the son of the Nawab of Arcot.
She escaped with her daughter, lived under the protection of Hyder Ali at Virupachi near Dindigul for eight years. During this period she formed an army and sought an alliance with Gopala Nayaker and Hyder Ali with the aim of attacking the British. In 1780 Rani Velu Nachiyar fought the British with military assistance from Gopala Nayaker and Hyder Ali and won the battle.
She formed a woman's army named "udaiyaar" in honour of her adopted daughter — Udaiyaar, who died detonating a British arsenal. Nachiar was one of the few rulers who regained her kingdom and ruled it for 10 more years.
A play 'Jannayak Tantya Mama,' directed by Praveen Chaubey of Lok Gunjan Natya Sanstha , Bhopal will be staged on Thursday.

The UBP has accused the Government of bias in its naming of public places after national heroes.
The Opposition last night criticised the renaming of Bermuda International Airport, saying the choice was politically-motivated and undemocratic.
An official dedication ceremony will today rename the facility L. F. Wade International Airport in honour of the late Progressive Labour Party leader Frederick (Freddie) Wade.
Mr. Wade became leader in 1985 and is widely recognised as having laid the foundations for the party's first election victory in 1998. He died two years earlier, aged 57.
The PLP Government says dedications of public buildings, sites and streets are a part of its 1998 election platform. Last year it named the Hamilton bus terminal after driver Hubert (Sparky) Lightbourne, and in 2002, honoured Registrar General Valerie T. Scott at the Parliamentary Registry Building.
However, the UBP says Government should be restricted to putting names forward, with the final decision resting with an independent committee.
John Barritt, Shadow Minister for Legislative Reform and Justice, said: "While we have great respect for the late L. Frederick Wade and his political career, the announcement by the Progressive Labour Party last week that the airport is to be named after him, raises an important and vexing issue.
"Naming public sites after prominent Bermudians, as the PLP promised some time ago is a project being undertaken in the name of promoting national pride. We in the United Bermuda Party support that aim. What we do not support is the PLP's view that since it is the government of the day, it is the only game in town.
He added: "Members of the PLP seem to believe that being elected to Government has given them the sole right to decide what is good for Bermuda and for Bermudians.
Mr Wade's widow Ianthia, who has campaigned for more public recognition of national heroes, last night said that her husband's contribution rose above politics.
She said: "There are so few people who have had places named after them, how can it be politically motivated?
"It is important for young people to be able to recognise the people who have made Bermuda what it is.

Otto Gaiser (5 October 1919 – 22 January 1944) was a Luftwaffe ace with 66 confirmed kills, and he was the recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross during World War II. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership.

Career

In 1942, Gaiser was assigned to Jagdgeschwader 51 (JG 51—51st Fighter Wing) where he served as Rudolf Wagner's wingman. Wagner went on to become a Luftwaffe ace as well. Gaiser claimed his first kill on 16 March 1943. That day, he shot down a Soviet Lavochkin-Gorbunov-Gudkov LaGG-3 fighter near Vyazma. Gaiser served with 10. Staffel of JG 51 which at the time was under the command of Oberleutnant Horst-Günther von Fassong. He achieved his 10th victory on 11 July, when he claimed another LaGG-3 shot down. Gaiser claimed 17 victories in August, including five Soviet Ilyushin Il-2 ground-attack aircraft shot down on 14 August, making him an "ace-in-a-day".

On 22 January 1944, Gaiser was last seen in combat with Ilyushin Il-2 ground-attack aircraft near Berdychiv, Ukraine.
He has remained missing to this day. It is thought he became a victim of the Soviet ground defences. On 9 June 1944 he was posthumously awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross () and promoted to Leutnant. Before he disappeared, Gaiser was credited with 66 victories in 380 missions. All his air victories were achieved over the Eastern Front (World War II) and included 21 Il-2 Sturmoviks.

Summary of career

Aerial victory claims
According to US historian David T. Zabecki, Gaiser was credited with 66 aerial victories. Mathews and Foreman, authors of Luftwaffe Aces – Biographies and Victory Claims, researched the German Federal Archives and found records for 66 aerial victory claims, all of which claimed on the Eastern Front.

Victory claims were logged to a map-reference (PQ = Planquadrat), for example "PQ 35 Ost 36624". The Luftwaffe grid map () covered all of Europe, western Russia and North Africa and was composed of rectangles measuring 15 minutes of latitude by 30 minutes of longitude, an area of about . These sectors were then subdivided into 36 smaller units to give a location area 3 × 4 km in size.

Clotheslines are one of my great loves.
What can be more beautiful than these lines of -preferably white- billowing shapes amongst the green? Like temporary architecture almost.
I've been planning to make a print or painting about it, but thus far have only used it in our picturebook De vuurtoren (The lighthouse).
Above just a small part of the clean laundry I came across.
She also makes landscapes, but I fell for these beautiful still life paintings.
They have gone from the garden by now, but here are some snowdrops still.
The last little print is one I made myself a few weeks ago, in template print.
Yesterday at the Kunstmuseum Basel, we saw lovely landscapes again by the painter Ferdinand Hodler.
After writing about still life paintings with chairs, we stay with still lifes for a bit.
These paintings by Nathalie du Pasquier (France 1957) attract me hugely, although I can't tell you exactly why.

Her work has the same calm as Morandi's.
Du Pasquier worked first as a designer and was one of the founders of the Milan based Memphis group.


This week's L.A. City Beat has a fascinating cover story by Ron Garmon about one-shot auteur and "gay icon," Tom Graeff. After producing, writing, directing, and co-starring in Teenagers From Outer Space, a 1959 cult favorite (lampooned on Mystery Science Theater) that is simultaneously ridiculous and "sensitive" – in a serious adolescent kind of way – Mr. Graeff took out a full page ad in the L.A. Times claiming to be Jesus Christ. He attempted to join the Quakers, was institutionalized, and eventually committed suicide. Needless to say, he never made another film.

HOLD BARR AND POMPEO ACCOUNTABLE AND COMPEL THEIR TESTIMONY
ACTION ONE: CALL YOUR House rep
SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR ALL BUT WALDEN:   I want to thank the Representative for supporting the formal impeachment inquiry.  I am now asking him/her to insist that no one be allowed to obstruct the inquiries by ignoring subpoenas or refusing to testify.  AG Barr and Secretary Pompeo in particular are deeply involved in this administration's abuses of power. They should be removed from office.  They must be compelled to testify.
SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR WALDEN:  Donald Trump continues to commit impeachable offenses while obstructing Congressional investigations.  I am asking the Representative to find the courage to put country over party. I am asking him to join his colleagues who are standing up for our democracy by supporting the impeachment inquiry.  I am also asking him to demand an end to his party's support of this administration's obstruction and contempt both for Congress and the rule of law. Thank you.
I am calling to thank the Senator for his strong support of an impeachment inquiry. I am asking him to continue to support the impeachment hearings, begin working for bipartisan votes should impeachment articles reach the Senate, and publicly state the House must compel AG Barr and Secretary Pompeo to testify.  Thank you.
Donald Trump called Ukrainian President Zelensky to extort help – from a foreign leader – to smear a possible opponent in the 2020 election.  He asked Zelensky to work with Rudolph Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr.
Barr has used the DOJ to chase several of Trump's conspiracy theories, including seeking to discredit the work of the FBI and U.S. intelligence officers on Russian election interference.  He is clearly acting as a political operative rather than Attorney General of the United States and should resign or be impeached.  He must at least recuse himself from any involvement in these hearings other than a witness. And he must be compelled to testify.
Mike Pompeo is following the standard Trump playbook for subverting Congressional investigations by defying subpoenas and requests for documents.  He stated that he will not allow State Department officials to be "bullied" by Congressional committees. Perhaps he recalls his treatment of Hillary Clinton during the political theatre of the Benghazi hearings.
Pompeo was listening in on the Ukraine call.  He himself will no doubt be called to testify, and he must.  If he continues to obstruct the impeachment hearings he should be held in contempt and removed from office.

In 2002, Grethe Petersen and Owen Barder spent two weeks cycling in Northern Ethiopia.
Ethiopia is an amazing country. It has beautiful and dramatic scenery, and an extraordinarily rich history and culture; the people are intelligent, welcoming and proud.
It is fairly unusual to go on cycling holidays in Ethiopia. We planned our own route and made our own arrangements partly to give us flexibility to combine cycling and sightseeing. There are few organised cycling tours, and so we thought we should record our experiences for other people who may be considering doing something similar. See our notes about cycling in Ethiopia, and more general practical information for tourism in Ethiopia.
We flew to Addis Ababa, and cycled from there through Debre Birhan, Debre Sina and Kombolcha to Dessie. From there we drove to Lalibela, and then flew to Bahir Dar. We drove south from Bahir Dar, and cycled from the Blue Nile Gorge through Debre Markos back to Addis Ababa.
We timed our trip to coincide with the Great Ethiopian Run, which takes place in late October or early November. We left Addis the following day – this timing ensured that we were cycling after the rainy season had finished, but before the very hot weather had begun.
Our full route description is here. We wanted to combine our cycling holiday with meeting up with Owen's non-cycling sister, Virginia, who travelled by plane to Lalibela and Bahir Dar. We thought it was particularly important not to miss Lalibela (described here), even though it is not easily accessible by bike – and with hindsight, this was absolutely the right decision.
This was the holiday of a lifetime. We fell in love with the country and the people. Cycling through Ethiopia was the best way to see the country. By air, you do not see rural Ethiopia between the big towns. By car, you go past too quickly. But by bike, you have a chance to savour the sounds and smells of the country, to stop at the roadside and meet people, and begin to get a feel for the country. Of course, a short visit is always too short to get a real feel for any country or people.
We wanted to see Ethiopia by bike to cover as much distance as possible during our two-week holiday. But as keen runners we decided to take our trainers and got some wonderful experiences while out running.
We timed our trip to arrive the day before the Great Ethiopia Run, a 10km in Addis Ababa. Our experiences are described here.
While we were in Lalibela, we ran to a monastery at the top of the hills behind the village. As we ran, a group of school children joined us. They broke the ice by calling Owen Haile (as in Haile Gebreselassie) and by calling Grethe Deartu, (as in Deartu Tulu). These runners are household names throughout Ethiopia – even to children living in a remote village without television or radio and which has had electricity for only seven years. Running is a very important part of the Ethiopian culture.
As well as our route, we have included some information about cycling in Ethiopia, some practical information, a short history of Ethiopia, and an FAQ.
We would like to encourage everyone to consider visiting Ethiopia, and for those of you lucky enough to be able to cycle, we recommend cycling there. If you would like any more information about our trip, please do not hesitate to contact us.
we just returned from our cycling tour in Ethiopia. It was the same route only in the other direction. We cycled through many countries before and always enjoyed it, but not so in Ethopia. Here are the worst children we ever met, especially on the China road. They are throwing stones, running behind you and try to stop you, crying "money" … And this in some regions every few kilometers. Sometimes it was really dangerous.
It's a pity. The country and the people are so nice, but because of the hazards with children I would not recommend to cycle in Ethopia.
I find that it really depends on the riders attitude on how the children react to you. Acknowledgement of them goes a long way.
dear cyclists, I believe that there are some bad childrens and because of those childrens you dont have to say no biking or cycling in Ethiopia. I am the only guide who is passionate to do the cycling tour and I cycled with Germans and Italians to The Bale mountains, to the south and southwest of Ethiopia and last Jan from Addis Ababa to Lalibela through a new route. What I will say is better not to be judgmental cause during our tour we didint encounter such problem, but who knows who is bad in the others case, the tourists or the children?
Hi Owen. Great site. Doing a similar cycle is something we are looking at. Can I ask how much it cost you to hire the support vehicle? Would you recommend any books on cycling in Africa/Ethiopia?
Looking for Ethipian local bike guide to the North Gondar – Lalibla areas for a week in October 2012.
I just came back from two weeks of cycling in the Oromo region of Ethiopia (passing through big towns like Bedele, Bako, Ambo, etc.) but staying mostly in villages. I didn't have a single rock thrown at me the entire trip and, for the most part, the kids were great with only a one or two memorable instances of kids dogging us for money or pens. (And mostly memorable because we were climbing the mountain up to Gedo and couldn't get away.) In fact, for most of the trip we didn't even get called "farenji" except when we were within 100km or so of Addis.
I think smiling and waving and a good sense of humour about it helps.
I lived in Ethiopia myself for roughly about 3 years and the people are really amazing and great! They use the term "Farenji" for all foreigners. Everyone who's not locally from Ethiopia particularly to a white person lol. But they are very kind and friendly people.
The Amharic language is also somehow easy to learn and will be very useful during trips.
I am going to Gondar next month to supervise university students. I am keen on cycling. Do you know if it is easy to take my bike by plane to Gondar without losing it in Addis when I sop overnight?
Are you guiding cycling tours? I am relocating to Addis in the next few months and would like to arrange a bike tour…after the rainy season of course!
How are you doing? Hope well and good.
Yes I do arrange biking tours here in ethiopia and all kinds of tours as well. And am happy that you are going to stay here in Addis Ababa so that I will have a friend who do biking. You can contact any time.
I will be moving to Addis for a few years from the UK. Do you have any advice about getting a bike into the country?
Shipping your bike there is fairly easy but at immigration they may ask you if you are going to sell your bike there[which if a nice bike nobody can afford so usually makes no sense] This could be your only sticking point but if you show them you are going there for work and have the paper work to prove it it should be no issue. On a few tours i ran there only a few riders ever had this problem and i showed them we were running a bike tour and they let us pass.
Brilliant. Thanks Scotty. Will have to up my game before I take on that ride!
I may be moving to Addis Ababa in September from Seattle and I am also planning on bringing my bike. If it all works out the way it seems to be right now, I would love to have a cycling partner for weekend rides.
Which bike? I ama roadie and it sounds like mountain is the way to go. will bearriving in Sept also.
I am a roadie too. Right now I have a road bike with was built for travel with S&S couplers on it so that I can take the whole bike apart and put it in a checked back and it flies with me everywhere. I am a little concerned about taking it though. My plan was to put some bigger tires on it (right now have Continental 700 x23c 4-season tires on it). I was hoping that just upping that to 28c would be enough but now I am reconsidering bringing it at all and just buying a cheap mountain bike there and leaving it behind when I leave in a year. Would love to know what others might suggest.
Seems a lot of us arriving over the next few months…hope we can all hook up for some rides once we all get there and the rainy season is over! I'll be arriving next month.
Finding a cycling community to ride with would be awesome.
I arrive Sept 3 and am certainly bringing my bike after this blog. Spread the word…we may get more. I am planning to get an old steel frame.
i will be in Ethiopia for the month of September. I am a keen roadie and would bring my bike if I had a group to ride with? I will be staying in the capital. Are you staying in the capital?
Yes if you creat the chance u can also lose ur belongings even in ur developed country.
Please stope giving a bad image of this beautiful Country.
If anyone is going to be in Addis Ababa and wanting to do a bit of cycling in Sept can you email me at jmgholland@hotmail.com. I would really love to get out on my bike with some company and see more of the surrounding area.
I will be living in Ethiopia for next couple of years. I would like to buy a decent mountain bike. Does anyone know a good store in Addis to do that?
Hi Terry…I have not seen a bike shop here. I am not a mountain biker but know there is an active group who ride around Addis…check out the Facebook site…Mountain biking Ethiopia.
Is your company in Addis? Can you send me phone/address? Also, what is the price range for your bikes?
We proud and encourage people to explore Ethiopia with Bicycle.

Hi, in July my wife and I are planning to cycle from our home in England to Cairo, and then down to Cape Town. We will be passing through Ethiopia, and I was wondering how safe it? I've been warned about bandits. We will have camping equipment, but is it easy to find accomodation? We will probably be passing travelling through Ethiopia about December, whats the weather like at this time of year?
I lived in Ethiopia for nearly 4 years, Ethiopia is a safe country with a pure natural beauty. People are very nice and helpful but please try to do some research on the cities and towns that you're going to cycle through. Make sure you also take with you enough spares since its difficult to cycle on some places and it'll be tough to find spares too. During December, Ethiopia is very hot and sunny during the day but can get very cold on nights. About the bandits, yes it is likely but please try to do some research on the routes. There has been some violence and unrest times in some parts of the country so carefully select your routs and make sure you're in contact with someone in the country during your journey.
Anyone who want to join our Ethiopia biking tours in November? It is 15 days the best biking tours in Ethiopia. Contact us for more details and route.
thank you for your interesting view to our country Ethiopia and i am happy to heard that you spent an interesting vacation specially at lalibela which is my home town and we Ethiopians are always welcome guest from any corner of the world and ready for help when you stay here in Ethiopia!!!!!!!!!!!
I live in Addis. Currently training for a half Ironman and looking to ride around the city (maybe outside of the city). It would be great to have a ridding buddy to join me. To be honest I am very new at riding in the city and I need some guidance on best routes.

However, today we all had a free day, so we met up with friends and had a proper, grockle-style day out. Everyone around us is on holiday having fun, so today was our chance to be tourists on our own patch. And it was brilliant! I can see why people come here year after year after year.
Starting from Newlands Holidays in Charmouth, we caught the Jurassic Mule open-top bus along the Jurassic Coast. With a Jurassic Coast Card you get a free child place for each paying adult – this sort of thing is often no good to us as our kids are teenagers, but the Jurassic Mule is 3/-15yo for kids, so it was a bargain!
It was such a fun way to travel, being able to get views over the coast and fields, into back gardens and waving at buses coming the other way. Travelling in an open-top bus somehow makes you into an instant 1950s child! Going through Lyme Regis was great, and although we were heading for the beach at Beer, we decided to hop off in Seaton for a quick coffee & ice-cream stop (tickets are hop-on,hop-off). I'm very sorry Beer, but Seaton beach turned out to be so perfect we never made it any further!
After a delicious lunch in The Hideaway (Halloumi Fries were a revelation and the spinach & feta pie was lovely), we walked a hundred yards or so west along the beach and set up camp on the pebbles. It's a nicely shelving beach, so you get deep enough to swim quite quickly (probably not ideal for little children), and the shelter of the cliffs by Beer meant that there was barely a ripple.
The sea was SO clear – even well out of our depth we could see every little detail on the seabed, and it felt very unlike the usual green, sometimes slightly soupy English sea. In fact, the phrase "it's just like being on holiday" came up about every ten minutes! I kept feeling a bit jealous of everyone having such fantastic holidays, but then kept reminding myself it's all ours any time we want it!
I have always felt a bit sorry for Seaton, as it does have some ugly buildings in the centre, and is often quite empty, but it is definitely my new favourite beach, and would be equally good for fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding as it is for swimming. There were lots of paddle-boarders out, mainly hiring from the beach, and gangs of first-time kayakers testing their skills along the shore.
Lyme Regis has the atmosphere and hustle & bustle, and West Bay has great food and ice-cream etc; Sidmouth has the shopping & restaurants, Charmouth has fossils and West Bexington & co have the fishing – every beach around here has its strong points, but Seaton will definitely be my swimming beach from now on!
We got so relaxed that we just couldn't be bothered going to Beer, so we lazed about until the last bus home. Coming down the hill into Lyme Regis, with the coast all laid out beyond, was a fantastic sight, and added to the festive feel of a brilliant, old-fashioned day out. Simple, just beach, swimming and ice-creams, and a lot of chat, laughing and messing about. It WAS just like being on holiday, and we resolved to get out and do more days being tourists at home. There are still many things on the Jurassic Coast Card list that we haven't tried, so there's definitely a few more days like that to be done before summer is over!

Q: SQL Server: LDAP query of Active Directory Group members works inconsistently I am querying Active Directory from SQL Server via a Linked Server called LDAP.
The linked server was created thus, authenticating through a specially created service account myDomain\ServiceAccountWithNoPermissions.
exec master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'LDAP', @srvproduct=N'Active Directory Service Interfaces', @provider=N'ADSDSOObject', @datasrc=N'adsdatasource'
exec master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'LDAP',@useself=N'False',@locallogin=NULL,@rmtuser=N'myDomain\ServiceAccountWithNoPermissions',@rmtpassword='########'

And I'm querying the members of a specific Active Directory Group with the following:
select *
from OpenQuery (LDAP, '
                select objectGUID, sAMAccountName
                from ''LDAP://myServer.myDomain.com/DC=myDomain,DC=com''
                where MemberOf=''CN=Some Group,OU=Folder,DC=myDomain,DC=com''
                order by sAMAccountName asc
');

Here's my problem. The above system is working correctly for some Active Directory Groups and not others.
By default I think Authenticated Users is supposed to be able to query any User or Group objects in Active Directory. And as a test I verified that the effective permissions of myDomain\ServiceAccountWithNoPermissions includes "Read all properties" on Groups for which the members are both queryable and non-queryable.
What could be the difference between Groups that are queryable and non-queryable?

A: You didn't describe what you mean by it working incorrectly, so I can only guess. But the most obvious thing I can see is that you're querying the membership of a group by using memberOf. Depending on how your environment is setup, that may not give you all the results you hope for. I wrote about this, but here's the important part:
Groups only get added to memberOf if they have a Group Scope of:

*

*Universal and are in the same AD forest as the user, or

*Global and are on the same domain.

Groups do not get added to memberOf if they have a Group Scope of Global and are on another domain (even if in the same forest).
On top of that, memberOf will only include Domain Local groups from the same domain of the server you are retrieving results from. (if you are working in a multi-domain environment and reading from a Global Catalog, this may not be the same domain the user is from)
It will also not report the user's primary group (usually Domain Users), if that's important to you, nor will it include groups on external trusted domains.
The most reliable way to find all the members of a group is to read the member attribute of the group itself. But if the group is used as the primary group for any users, then you would also have to use a different way to find those.

Portland Mayor Ken Wilber looks back on long career with city
After nearly 30 years serving the City of Portland, Mayor Ken Wilber recently announced he would not be running for another term.
Portland Mayor Ken Wilber looks back on long career with city After nearly 30 years serving the City of Portland, Mayor Ken Wilber recently announced he would not be running for another term. Check out this story on Tennessean.com: https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/sumner/2018/01/30/portland-mayor-ken-wilber-looks-back-long-career-city/1078915001/
Amy Nixon, USA TODAY NETWORK-Tennessee Published 11:47 a.m. CT Jan. 30, 2018
Portland Mayor Ken Wilber has been named the 2016 Mayor of the Year by the Tennessee Municipal League.(Photo: unknown / Submitted)
Wilber was elected as mayor in 2005. Before that, he served on the city council from 1987 to 1995, where he was vice mayor during four of those years. He then worked for the Public Works Department from 1996 to 2003, where he served as superintendent.
After a rewarding career with the city, Wilber said he felt it was the "right time to make a change."
"The citizens here have honored and blessed me to elect me for three terms," said Wilber. "The city is in a good spot right now … I'm getting to a point in my life where it might be time to slow down and to do some other things."
Wilber said he didn't think he'd completely retire, adding he thought he would keep busy working or volunteering. He is involved in his church, Portland Church of Christ, and said he hopes he can devote more time there. And he also has two young granddaughters he hopes to spend more time with.
Wilber listed several milestones reached by the city during his time as mayor.
The city has been able to complete several capital projects, including making upgrades to utility projects, he said. A major sewer upgrade is in the works right now, and several natural gas updates have been made recently, he said.
The city has also seen several new industries and businesses come to town, and with the Highway 109 project and interchange, Wilber said he hopes even more businesses will look to Portland.
"The new interchange, that will be a game changer for the City of Portland on growth for our community," he said. "I'm excited about that for the city."

What makes Wilber most proud, perhaps, is seeing the city's financial stability grow, he explained.
"We had a downturn in the economy … we had to make some tough decisions," he said.
Now, Wilber said, the city has $2.3 million in its rainy day fund.
And the city used to have to do tax anticipation notes, he explained.
"We haven't had to do those in several years," he said. "It's one of the things I feel good that together as a team we've been able to accomplish."
Wilber has seen the city go through some hard times as well.
Portland has had some major flooding and drainage issues, he explained. But the stormwater department is working hard to solve a lot of those problems and issues.
"It will take several years, but we've gotten started. We have a real master plan in place; we know where we are going in solving these issues," he said.
Wilber said he feels fortunate to have been involved in several state organizations.
He has been active in the Greater Nashville Regional Council, the Sumner County Council of Government, Cumberland Region Tomorrow, the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System and the Tennessee Municipal League.
Wilber was named the 2016 Mayor of the Year by the Tennessee Municipal League. He beat out 345 other Tennessee mayors for the award, which was presented during the organization's 77th annual conference.
►More:Wilber chosen as Tennessee Mayor of the Year
"I was blessed to be able to work with these regional and state agencies," he said. "It was very educational and enlightening and benefited the city."
The City of Portland elections for mayor and three at-large aldermen will take place Tuesday, Nov. 6.

If you're going to get anything listed here, make it an air mattress. I can't tell you the countless times I've used it. My roomie and I often have people stay with us when they visit Philly, and it's always nice to be able to offer them an air mattress vs. the floor/couch. Plus it makes you look like a real adult who has their sh*t together. Hostess with the mostest.

Kitchen counters, microwaves, bathroom sinks, anything, hence the name. Why buy all these random cleaning supplies when you could get something that does it all?? The only * is that sometimes it's hard to find. Target usually has it though.
My dad bought me a toolbox (it's pink) when I moved into my apartment for senior year of college. It has all the necessities I need–hammer, nails, level, screw driver, etc. It's great when you need to hang a picture, put together an IKEA bed or install floating shelves (don't recommend that btw, it's a pain). Even if you're not handy, it's good to have basic tools if you need them.
For fixing the broken screen. Concealing appliance wires. Re-attaching your flip-flop strap when it breaks off (true story). I can't think of all the things I've used duct tape for, but it's never let me down.
Again, maybe this is an obvious one, but it's super annoying when your clock stops and you don't have any batteries so you have to look at the wrong time for 3 days before you actually go out and get some. I usually have double AA batteries in my apartment (because most things take double AA's), but you should also get some nine-volt batteries as well. Why? Because a lot of smoke alarms take nine-volts & the chirp of an expired smoke alarm is the closest thing to going insane.
To change the batteries in the smoke alarm because a box on top of a chair is not very safe.
Obviously stock up on your favorite snacks, but microwave popcorn is one of my staples because 1. everyone loves popcorn 2. it's easy & cheap 3. it makes binge-watching Netflix more exciting 4. it's great when you're hungover and not hungry for anything else.
We have a TON of throw blankets in our apartment, mostly because I have a problem & buy every soft throw blanket I come across. But again, when you have guests, it's nice that you can offer them an extra blanket (for their air mattress!) and cozy blankets make snuggling on the couch in the winter that much better. If you want to step it up a notch, invest in a heated~ blanket for those cold winter nights (seriously, one of the best gifts I've ever received was a heated blanket. 10/10 recommend).
Because sometimes air-conditioning window unit stops working mid-July, and you rather not sweat to death while you sleep. OR when you're in your small, ill-ventilated bathroom and you have to straighten your hair with a 300 degree straightener when it's 98 degrees outside. Pro tip: get a fan.
Okay, hear me out on this one. Obviously always keep a bottle of wine in your apartment so if you have a bad day, you can have a glass (or three). But it's also good to have on-hand because of those times you spontaneously have people over. Or you're running late to your friend's bday party and realized you forgot a gift. Or you planned to have a quiet Friday night in and then your friends convince you to go out and you need to pregame quick (not speaking from experience or anything…) Bottom line: always have wine.
What do you keep in your apartment that's an absolute lifesaver? Leave me a comment below! &.
You are totally right about the air mattress girl!!! loved your list of random things.
Haha, these are awesome! I definitely have wine and a few other items. I really want a toolbox, i want to start refurbishing furniture. I've had to sleep on an air mattress once or twice and i am glad i had it.
Agreed on all of these!

Reid uses op-eds to assail Romney, Heller
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid penned a pair of op-eds in Nevada papers today -- one to go directly after Mitt Romney and the other to promote renewable energy while firing a parenthetical barb at Sen. Dean Heller. The pieces in the Sun and the Gazette-Journal are the latest examples of an aggressive partisan who seems to miss the hurly burly of the campaign season. The Sun op-ed attacks Romney over the 47 percent video and -- again -- his tax returns, saying his release of "a measly two...
Charting Obama vs. Romney in Nevada
UPDATED BELOW THE CHART The Huffington Post has a nice chart for Nevada (and all other states) on the presidential race since the beginning of the year. You will see that President Obama has never been behind in any public poll here. I do have a problem with any poll average because bad data pollutes it. But one argument is that there are so many polls that the bad data is diluted -- unless, of course, it's like 2010 when all of the data here indicated that Sharron Angle would defeat Harry Reid...

Republicans in Vegas: GOP rally against the president, Ann Romney and Herman Cain
Republicans are planning a rally Sunday "to help (President Obama) feel less welcome" near Desert Pines High School, where the president is speaking late in the day. That's according to an email I have obtained. It's no surprise the GOP is planning such an attempt to distract the media -- and my guess is it will not be the last one of the president's three-day sojourn in Southern Nevada.

Angry Birds and Cut the Rope have had on casual games, five minutes play on Drop the Chicken should be enough to convince them.
Smart level design. Very addictive at times. You can set your own goals.
Structure is far too familiar. Set up owes far too much to Cut the Rope et al.
If anyone doubts the influence the likes of Angry Birds and Cut the Rope have had on casual games, five minutes play on Drop the Chicken should be enough to convince them.
That's not because it's a crude clone in any shape or form, even though physics have a massive role to play here. But, rather, this is a game that mirrors the aforementioned Chillingo-published classics in keys areas; in their structure, in their design, and in their sheer addictiveness.
The concept, as in all physics puzzlers, is really rather simple. The idea is to guide a fluffy yellow chicken from a plank at the top of the screen to a basket at the bottom, feeding him as you go by steering him into the path of a number of green bugs hovering about each stage.
Like Cut the Rope, however, you don't actually have any direct control over the birdie himself. Rather, manipulating the level that sits beneath his feet is the limit to your influence, with two objects – springs and random planks of wood – the only elements under your control.
As such, before the chick drops you're given as much time as you need to move said objects about. Sliding them around with your finger is simple enough, but positioning them so they act as the perfect catalyst to the chicken reaching his goal is most certainly not.
It's an approach that, as you might expect, becomes more and more complex as you move through the stages. Bombs, for instance, form a particularly familiar foe fairly early on, acting as what amounts to a series of walls within the levels themselves. The slightest of touches is enough to give your chick an early Sunday Roast, so placing planks of wood to act as barriers is often the only way to nullify their threat.
That's not to say play ever becomes in any way predictable, however. Grouped together in set batches, Drop the Chicken's stages increasingly push boundaries in terms of their very composition. What starts as a case of navigating past one or two hazards eventually turns into a mini-game of pinball, where each and every element has to come together at just the right time to get the chick home fully fed.
But the surprisingly elaborate nature of Drop the Chicken's later levels doesn't make this any less of a casual affair. As is the norm now, it's up to you just how many of each stage's goals you meet – winning a three star rating requiring you to pick up each and every fly along your way, moving as few objects as possible in the process.
Though unlocking levels requires you to collect a certain amount of stars along your way, it's still possible to breeze through many of the most difficult stages simply by ignoring the flies altogether – a clever way of keeping those who find Drop the Chicken's heavier moments a touch foul on board.
But this is a framework that's already beginning to show its age. Drop the Chicken, though as unequivocal as it is compelling at times, feels behind the curve as a result by adopting what could accurately be described as 'the Angry Birds model'.
The very familiarity of its set up is what may well lead to Drop the Chicken suffering a somewhat shorter stay of execution on a player's iPhones than the games it's unashamedly been inspired by.
And that's the bottom line when it comes to Drop the Chicken. Had Sharp Creative's ode to all this poultry found its way onto iPhone a year or so ago, it would have stood out as a game that was as addictive as it is creative. Turning up somewhat late to the party can't sap Drop the Chicken of the talent that's clearly been employed in its level design, but it will leave the coop it's housed in feeling a little too familiar for many.

Q: I wish to find sites within a distance of a route, using django GEOS filters, by converting a route to a polygon to test model instances within Python  2.7.12 (default, Jul 1 2016, 15:12:24) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609]
Django  (1, 7, 11, 'final', 0)
Postgres    [u'PostgreSQL 9.5.5 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.2) 5.4.0 20160609, 64-bit']
Postgis [u'POSTGIS="2.2.2 r14797', u'GEOS="3.5.0-CAPI-1.9.0 r4084', u'PROJ="Rel. 4.9.1, 04 March 2015', u'GDAL="GDAL 2.1.1, released 2016/07/07', u'LIBXML="2.9.3', u'TOPOLOGY RASTER']
We have a mapping application that uses a crude mechanism to locate sites within a certain distance (20 kilometres) of a google derived route expressed at Lat and Longs.
I have a database of sites that I wish to display if they are within 20 kilometres of the route.
The previous mechanism took 1 in 20 way-points from the list and searched a sphere from that point adding any included sites into a set of points.
This is inefficient but dates back some three years and ran surprisingly well.
Upon upgrading to Postgres 9.5 the performance has taken a considerable hit and the mechanism is no longer practical.
I would like to generate a polygon or closed loop around the route, the nature of the end caps are unimportant, and then perform a contains or covers (when we get to Django 1.10) to extract the sites.
Is this a practical approach and if so how does one best perform the route to polygon transformation?
I am keen to not have to optimize in SQL as the application performs all it's operation using django filters.

A: Without being able to accurately answer whether it's practical or not, you can get started on answering

how does one best perform the route to polygon transformation

By checking out PostGIS's ST_Buffer.  If your route is a collection of points you may have to use ST_Collect in a subquery.

A: You can use function in database - it's propably best option when you care about performance. Since you didn't provide any data I made my own:
create table sites (
  id int,
  name text,
  geom geometry);

insert into sites(id,name,geom) values (1,'point1',ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(1,1),4326));
insert into sites(id,name,geom) values (2,'point2',ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(2,2),4326));
insert into sites(id,name,geom) values (3,'point3',ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(3,3),4326));
insert into sites(id,name,geom) values (4,'point4',ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(4,4),4326));
insert into sites(id,name,geom) values (5,'point5',ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(5,5),4326));
insert into sites(id,name,geom) values (6,'point6',ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(6,6),4326));

If there is many records in sites table you may need some index:
create index sites_geom_idx on sites using gist(geom);

And now it's time for function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION find_sites(IN inp_waypoints text[][])
  RETURNS TABLE(id int, name text) AS
$BODY$
Declare g_waypoints geometry[];
  g_path_buffer geometry;
BEGIN

--create geometries from lat lon

for i in 1 .. array_upper(inp_waypoints,1)
loop
g_waypoints[i] = ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint((inp_waypoints[i][1])::int,(inp_waypoints[i][2])::int),4326);
end loop;

--create line + buffer

g_path_buffer = (ST_Buffer((ST_MakeLine(g_waypoints))::geography,20000))::geometry;

--select from table

return query select s.id, s.name from sites s where ST_Intersects(s.geom,g_path_buffer);

END;
$BODY$
  LANGUAGE plpgsql VOLATILE;

You're using it like this:
select * from find_sites('{{1,1},{2,2},{3,3}}')

Female Entrepreneurship Is on the Rise (Infographic)
Women are becoming business owners at higher rates -- but there's still a ways to go.
Image credit: RoBeDeRo | Getty Images
Rose Leadem
Women are founding companies at a historic rate, with more than 9 million women-owned businesses in the U.S. today.
Over the past 15 years, these women-owned firms have grown at a rate 1.5 times other small businesses and are estimated to provide more than 5 million jobs by 2018.

There's still a long way to go though -- female-led businesses only make up 30 percent of companies around the world. There's much opportunity ahead -- businesses with at least one female executive team member are more likely to receive higher valuations in their first round of fundraising.
Eventbrite co-founder and CEO Julia Hartz and Sunrun's Lynn Jurich are among the many successful female entrepreneurs from around the world. Check out USC Marshall's infographic below to learn more about the rise of female entrepreneurs.

Q: HttpCookie Expires and IIS setting I am getting crazy with Cookie Expire date, conceptually it is pretty simple but it is not working on my server... I guess that's an IIS setting that's making me crazy, what do you think????
I started with an MVC 3 sample project and I am adding the following code in the Home Controller
  public ActionResult Index()
    {
         var PersistentLogonCookieName = "test";
        var persistentLogon = DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString();
         var persistentLogonCookie = new HttpCookie(PersistentLogonCookieName, persistentLogon);
           persistentLogonCookie.Expires = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(2);

        if (Request.Cookies[PersistentLogonCookieName] == null)
        {
            ViewBag.Message = "Cookie NOT Found!";

             persistentLogonCookie.Value = "added" + DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString();
            Response.Cookies.Add(persistentLogonCookie);
        }
        else
        {
            ViewBag.Message = "Cookie Found!";

            Response.SetCookie(persistentLogonCookie);
        }
        return View();
    }

if I run it locally, it works fine after the second request I got Cookie Found.... if I run on the server I got always Cookie Not Found....
If I comment persistentLogonCookie.Expires = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(2); it works fine also on the server.
I don't know what to think about if not that's a different IIS settings between my local machine and the server....
In the response header I have:
Set-Cookie  test=added4:23:39 PM; expires=Wed, 14-Aug-2013 15:23:39 GMT; path=/

but the cookie is not added to the cookie collection of following requests when I test it on the server and it goes in the cookie collection when I test with my local IIS....
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated....

A: Sorry I found out what was the problem.... the server was returning the wrong DATE in the Response DATE....
The Expiry Date has to be AFTER the Response Date to add the cookie to the cookie collection.

As the date of SSC CGL 2017 is coming closer almost every aspirant is looking for a test series which not only gives them a real exam like mock papers but also provides a detailed analysis of their individual performance & their performance in comparison to other aspirants along with the complete solution of paper. When some of my friends informed me about this test series I was very pragmatic about it but once I took one of their test (First test is completely free), I realised that this is what I was looking for. The quality of questions are very good and they are at par with previously asked questions in SSC CGL. The analysis after once you submit the paper is excellent. Along with your AIR, percentile, and percentage, they also provide a detailed analysis of your performance in various sub-topics, areas of strength and weakness, classification of performance in questions of various difficulty levels. Last but not the least, they also use various graphs to compare your performance with other aspirants and also to show your progress with every mock test.
