Ethiopia's Complicated Barriers to Peace
Who are the main warring parties and what do they want?
At the start of this year, promising signs began to emerge that the war in Ethiopia might be entering a new phase. After over a year of fighting, hundreds of thousands of deaths, and millions of displacements, it seemed that negotiations might be on the horizon.
The African Union envoy Olusegun Obasanjo met with the main warring parties. The US envoy for the Horn of Africa flew to Addis Ababa. The UN General-Secretary Antonio Guterres optimistically declared that "there is now a demonstrable effort to make peace".
Since then, there has been some progress. In March, the federal government implemented an indefinite humanitarian ceasefire, which forces in Tigray welcomed. Aid convoys have been allowed into the Tigray region. Some political prisoners have been released.
At the same time, however, movement towards meaningful talks has been slow. Different regional and international peace efforts have lost momentum. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's national dialogue initiative has been criticised for its opacity and exclusion of key parties. Moreover, while fighting with Tigray forces has subsided, the federal government has intensified military operations against the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) and recently arrested 4,000 people in Amhara region in a crackdown against the militia group known as the Fano.
Reasons behind the delays in peace talks include mistrust among parties and the complexity of different groups' demands. Here are some of the key parties to the war and what they want.
Who wants what?
The conflict began in November 2020 after relations between the federal government and the Tigray regional government, led by the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), broke down. Tensions escalated as each party accused the other of illegitimacy, and the war was sparked after Tigray forces attacked the federal Northern Command bases.
Within weeks, the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) had taken control of much of Tigray, including the regional capital Mekelle. The federal government imposed a media blackout and a devastating blockade on aid, telecommunications, and banking services. By mid-2021, however, Tigray forces had fought back and retaken most of the region. In November 2021, the TPLF and its allies came within 250 km of Addis Ababa before retreating.
Through the war, the Tigray government has called for peace talks on several occasions, but with preconditions that one Ethiopia security official described as "unrealistic". The TPLF's key demand is that Eritrean forces and Amhara militia withdraw from areas they continue to occupy, which is more complicated than it seems for reasons explained below. For their part, Tigray forces have withdrawn from the Afar region.
Since Abiy took office in 2018, Amhara elites have been among the groups that have benefited the most. They supported the prime minister as he side-lined the TPLF and challenged Ethiopia's federal system. And in the war, Amhara special forces and militias have played a key role in the federal government's assault on Tigray.
In return, Amhara elites have renewed their claims to certain territories, including Western Tigray. This area has witnessed several crimes against humanity during the war and remains occupied. Amhara leaders insist the territory is theirs – and their backing of Abiy may be contingent on his tacit support for this claim – while Tigray forces say they will fight to regain it and will not negotiate until it is returned. The federal government is additionally concerned about Western Tigray because it borders Sudan and would give Tigray forces greater access to foreign support and weapons if it were back in their hands.
Another issue relates to the Fano, an influential militia group that started as an Amhara nationalist movement and has played a significant part in the conflict. Their soldiers joined federal forces in sweeping into Tigray in 2020 and have come to occupy several neighbouring areas, not just in Tigray but Oromia and Benshangul-Gumuz regions too. In 19 months of the war, the Fano have been accused of several atrocities and were recently alleged to have killed about 27 Oromia police forces.
As relations between the Amhara elite and the federal government have become strained, Addis Ababa has increasingly turned against the militia group. The federal government recently declared that no informal mercenaries should exist and, in late-May, arrested 4,000 people in a sweeping crackdown against the Fano. The federal government said it was acting against "groups involved in the illegal arms trade, looting and destroying property of individuals, killings, and creating conflict among the public".
The Fano question is likely to test Abiy's relationship with Amhara elites further. The federal government wants to demobilise their former military allies who they cannot control and who are deepening resentments and instability in parts of the country. But doing so would reduce the Amhara region's bargaining power and weaken its military strength.
In Oromia region, federal forces have been fighting the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), an armed group that emerged out of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF). Both groups want self-determination or genuine autonomy for the region. While the OLF is recognised as a legal political party, however, Addis Ababa designated the OLA – which it refuses to call by its chosen name and refers to as Shane – a terrorist organisation in May 2021.
The OLA has conducted joint offensives with the Tigray Defence Forces (TDF) and is part of a nine-group rebel coalition alongside their Tigrayan counterparts. The federal government has accused the OLA of numerous atrocities, including the killing of 150 people in August 2021. The group denies the charges, which are difficult to verify as no independent body has investigated the matter.
The OLA has been excluded from negotiations and the federal government's strategy for dealing with the group remains to be to defeat it through militaristic means. It remains to be seen if this strategy is any more viable today than it has been in preceding decades of conflict in Oromia.
The war in Tigray provided an opportunity for Eritrea's long-standing leader, President Isaias Afwerki, to settle ancient scores with the TPLF and occupy the contested border territory of Badme. Eritrean forces have been involved from the start of the war and helped federal forces take control of Tigray in the early months of the conflict.
Through the war, Tigray's leaders and international actors have repeatedly demanded that Eritrean forces, who have been accused of various atrocities, withdraw from the region. This is also a condition of the TPLF accepting to enter talks. Eritrea has ignored these calls, likely because it sees Badme as part of its territory and because it fears a resurgent TDF. This has left the federal government in a difficult situation. Firstly, Abiy promised in 2018 that Badme will be transferred to Eritrea in accordance with the 2000 Algiers Agreement. Secondly, the prime minister does not want to risk losing President Isaias' support.

There is, of course, no easy way out, but the federal government can take some productive measures as a starting point. It could repeal the designation of the TPLF and OLA as terrorist organisations. It could end the blockade of services to Tigray. It could release political prisoners and declare a ceasefire in Oromia, as it has done in Tigray. It could also address concerns over the impartiality and inclusivity of the national dialogue to build trust in the process. This would show willingness to listen and an openness to meaningful talks. For their part, rebel movements could express good faith by publicly recognising the legitimacy of Abiy's government.
The specific disagreements will be harder to resolve but can be done so peacefully. Ethiopia's House of Federation is constitutionally empowered to resolve inter-regional border disputes and could lead comprehensive discussions over contested territory that take into consideration the wide array of historical, political, economic and social dynamics. This will not be straightforward and will require time, continuous negotiation, and careful navigation.
As things stand, peace in Ethiopia remains elusive. The route to talks appears to have stalled and militaristic rhetoric is ramping up once more. Tigray's leader Debretsion Gebremichael was quoted on 12 May as saying that diplomacy had failed and that people should prepare for the "final phase of the struggle", leading the Amhara government to warn of further violence too.
Unless all parties act swiftly and responsibly, Ethiopia might enter another phase of the war, deepening the already devastating humanitarian crisis.

Write a report by starting with an outline.
Using another author's work and calling it your own is called "plagiarism." Not only is it improper, it is illegal. Students caught for plagiarism can be severely reprimanded or even expelled from school. A plagiarized work, challenged by its author, could lead to legal consequences. While plagiarism may have been precipitated by ignorance or laziness, there is little defense if the guilty party is caught. It is important to know what it is and how to avoid it.
Outlines are the framework upon which an essay, speech or research paper is built. Developing an outline on plagiarism should take the reader from discovering what it is to how not to plagiarize and what could happen to someone who does plagiarize.
Key points are identified by Roman numerals.
First, establish the purpose of your treatise by creating a thesis statement. In this case, the statement might be "What is plagiarism? How to detect it, how to avoid it, and the penalties for it." As you write the outline, use the parts of your thesis statement as your headings, marked by Roman numerals.
Write out the major points using Roman numerals I, II, III, IV and V. By the first number, write "What is plagiarism." Plagiarism is not merely the literal duplication of a piece of work. It can involve portions of an authors' work being used without crediting the source. Subheadings in this part of your outline could include the definition of plagiarism and descriptions of types of plagiarism. Explain that partially citing or simply mentioning the author's name is not enough to avoid plagiarism.
Move to Roman numeral II. Title it "How to detect plagiarism." Use the subheadings to list the ways you can recognize if something is plagiarized. Methods include locating a copy of the original work to compare pieces of writing and using an online program designed to detect plagiarism.
Share that original sources can be found by plugging sections of the text into an online search engine or searching the author's name or title of the work that it came from. Online plagiarism detectors are plentiful. Articlechecker.com and duplichecker.com are two that can be used.
Quote properly. Cite all quotes.
Citing an author's work is a proper way to avoid plagiarism. Using the Roman numeral III, start this part of your outline with the heading "How to avoid plagiarism." List subheadings, such as: A. Use your own words B. Cite all quotes.
Rewording another person's work, even if you reveal that your ideas came from the other author, is not enough. Explain that original ideas and unique interpretations must dominate the work. If it is a reworking of someone else's thoughts, the source must be named. Abundant use of citations can still put your writing in question. Be original. Cite sources.
There are many methods of citing sources, including the MLA method and the APA method. Explain the methods that can be used.
Plagiarism can have serious consequences.
Discuss the consequences of plagiarizing. Title Roman numeral IV "Penalties for plagiarism." Subheadings can include degrees of punishment that high schools, colleges and universities levy when a student plagiarizes. Also describe the legal consequences if the author of the original work finds out that it has been plagiarized. Include that, in the business world, the guilty party might lose his or her job and tarnish a professional reputation.
End your paper with a recap of the original thesis.
Wrap it up with the description of a written conclusion, following the Roman numeral "V." The conclusion is a recap of the thesis statement, summarizing the information in your paper.

You have a point - Lenette!!!
Lenette, you wrote: "I can't believe what I have just read!? The whole idea of the religion called Islam is bewilderness and lies! The devil lies to get people to follow him, and what better than to spread a little niceties among the poisonous, evil words in order to disorientate man? If you wrote this, Mr. Pipes, I really must say that you've got something wrong. You cannot possibly be serious, when you say that bin Laden % co. have interpreted the Quran in a 'wrong/ignorant' way, because that's what you really are implying."
"Wrong/ignorant" interpretation of Quran by the terrorists is the usual line we get from common everyday Muslims when they defend their religion even though the Islamic religious schools never issue a ruling disagreeing with the terrorists!!! In other words they agree with terrorist's interpretation of Quran.


Hurricane Sandy slammed into New York and New Jersey nearly three months ago, and the grueling recovery effort continues with work being done to repair, rebuild and reopen shattered homes and businesses. But the process has been uneven, and there is ample evidence that many people are still struggling in the aftermath of one of the most vicious storms to hit the region. Following are snapshots of how some people and places are faring on the road back.
Lower Manhattan enjoyed one of the shortest recovery times in the region, with electricity returning to most of the area less than a week after Hurricane Sandy flooded streets from the financial district to Greenwich Village.
Seawater crippled utility systems in many basements, keeping both businesses and residents from returning to buildings that lacked power, water, heat or other basic services several weeks after the hurricane. But most of those buildings were able to reopen by the beginning of January, said Liz Berger, president of the Downtown Alliance.
Community leaders say most small businesses are open again, with the prominent exception of South Street Seaport, where the retail area known as Pier 17 and the South Street Seaport Museum are back in business but much of the district is still shuttered. And it has been nearly three months since residents of 2 Gold and its neighbor, 201 Pearl Street, have lived in their own apartments; the buildings' owners said recently that they hoped to move people back in by March 1 after rebuilding the basement electrical systems and boiler.
Smaller headaches linger, a daily reminder of the way the hurricane paralyzed life here: the South Ferry subway station was so damaged that it has been closed indefinitely, a few businesses are still cash-only as they await the return of their credit lines, and some still lack phone service. Such problems have prompted Verizon to replace all of its underground copper wiring, ruined by the floodwaters, with modern fiber-optic cables, a process it has told downtown leaders will be nearly done by the end of the month.
Glance down the main strip in Hoboken, N.J., and Hurricane Sandy might seem a distant memory. Businesses are open along Washington Street. The movie theater reopened in late December. So did the PATH station, after two months in which commuters struggled to find other ways to work and, with fewer people walking to the trains, stores and restaurants lost about 70 percent of their business. But if the storm's devastation here is not as obvious as it is in beach towns, it still runs deep.
The floodwaters spared the waterfront and Washington Street, but came rushing over the north and south ends of the city, overwhelming neighborhoods that on a map might look landlocked and less vulnerable.
Along inland streets, many stores and restaurants remain closed, and contractors' trucks remove debris from homes and businesses that had to be gutted after the storm flooded them with several feet of water and sewage.
The biggest problems remain for about 1,700 businesses and homes in what real estate agents delicately call garden-level units. Flood insurance policies consider them basements and cover damage only to things like boilers and water heaters, even if the basement happens to be a primary residence, as it is for many here.
These units' owners are left to apply for grants to get a piece of the aid package Congress passed. But the grants are unlikely to cover all their costs. "It's an unfair system," Mayor Dawn Zimmer said. "People are feeling like, 'Why am I forced to pay for flood insurance that won't give me coverage?' " It is up to Congress, she said, to change the rules for flood insurance so basement apartments and homes have the same coverage.
Recovery on Staten Island, which suffered extensive damage to its beach communities, has been quick for some residents of the hardest-hit areas but slow for many others.
New York City officials estimated that nearly 6,000 buildings in the borough sustained damage or disruption to utility services, driving occupants to seek temporary lodging elsewhere.
Since then, tons of debris have been cleared from the borough's streets. power and heat have been restored to most properties, and a majority of homes damaged by the storm have been reoccupied. But hundreds of families are still struggling.
In the Midland Beach neighborhood, residents have moved back into most of the newer multilevel homes, which were spared the worst of the storm surge, while many of the low-slung single-story bungalows remain dark.
Contractors have completed repairs on more than half of the 2,400 or so structures in the borough registered for the city's Rapid Repairs program, said Peter Spencer, spokesman for the mayor's Office of Housing Recovery, but work has yet to begin on more than one-fourth of them.
City officials also estimate that about 300 buildings are still without power or heat. Another 200 are uninhabitable because they were destroyed or rendered structurally unsound. Mr. Spencer said the planned demolition of about 100 structures on the island began last week and was expected to continue at a pace of about a dozen a day.
In an effort to assess residents' needs, a coalition of more than 50 religious groups was dispatching volunteers to go door-to-door in the borough's beach communities and conduct "a three-month, where-are-we" survey, said the Rev. Terry Troia, executive director of Project Hospitality, an interfaith organization on Staten Island.
George Broadhead, the head of the Gerrittsen Beach Property Owners Association in Brooklyn, got steam heat percolating in his house after New Year's Day, having survived for two months on a space heater and sleepovers at friends. His status — improving, but not quite whole — is emblematic of the entire enclave of 2,300 closely packed, low-lying seaside bungalows that was swamped by Hurricane Sandy.
Mr. Broadhead is pleased that the mounds of waterlogged furniture and wallboards are gone, that a bus dispatched by Coney Island Hospital outfitted with doctors and medical supplies is helping older people like himself nurse their colds and other ailments and that a hall run by the community's volunteer firefighters is dispensing food to those who have not restored their stoves and refrigerators.
But the flip side of all that help is that people are still hurting, so Mr. Broadhead's tentative words to describe himself — "more or less back to normal" — fit the neighborhood.
Perhaps 20 percent of the area's homes are still unlivable, Mr. Donovan estimated. He has been promised money from organizations like Rebuilding Together NYC to help neighbors install walls and replace appliances, and is taking applications.
Backed up toilets; weeks of no heat, running water, electricity or elevators; pitch-black hallways; elderly and infirm residents marooned on upper floors without food, water or means of egress — all counted among the miseries Hurricane Sandy brought to residents of seafront public housing buildings. The New York City Housing Authority came faced criticism, most recently at a City Council hearing, for being poorly prepared for the storm and its aftermath. In the days after the storm, many residents relied heavily, if not solely, on volunteers going door to door bearing meals, blankets, bottled water and medicine.
Life has since returned to a dissatisfactory normal for most people living in public housing. Lights and heat are back on, though 10 buildings in Red Hook, Coney Island and the Rockaways still have mobile boilers, run by generators.
"Sometimes you don't have water for three days, sometimes it's scalding hot," said Miriam Williams, 47, whose mother lives in Red Hook Houses.
Ann Valdez, who lives in Coney Island Houses, cited an influx of water bugs, cockroaches and mice.
Many residents used their meager savings to replace spoiled food and in some cases find shelter.
In Long Beach, N.Y., about 40 percent of the population has not returned after Hurricane Sandy, officials in this Long Island community said. There is little to come back to. Houses inundated by the storm surge are still waterlogged and molding.
For those who remain, a kind of depressed insularity has set in, as if time froze as the floodwaters withdrew.
"On the weekends I go out of town because it's sad here," said Carlos Ferreiro, an owner of a clothing store called NY Threads.
"Outside people talk about gun control and the debt," he added. "Here, people are all talking about the same thing" — meaning, the storm.
Mr. Ferreiro's house remains unlivable, and his business is on shaky ground. He said he would try to endure another three months and then reassess. Other business owners have given in and closed down, he said.
With their kitchens out of order and restaurants too expensive, many residents in the low-income North Park neighborhood still rely on warm meals provided by a local community center.
Since the storm hit in late October, Thelma Graham, 67, has been having meals at the center with the 13-year-old granddaughter she cares for. She also acquired a winter coat and boots from donated clothing still piled on tables on the center's basketball court.
She said life was difficult but improving. After living in a rental apartment for months, she moved back into her newly refurbished home just before the new year. She still has no furniture in her living room, but said she did not mind that too much.
Most of the waterfront pizza parlors, nail salons and restaurants on Cross Bay Boulevard, a main thoroughfare in Howard Beach have reopened for business, despite extensive water damage and electrical repairs.
Who in the southwest Queens neighborhood can forget the crowds that showed up at Gino's, the first pizzeria to fuel up a generator the weekend after Hurricane Sandy brought a bay of water down area streets? The delight over the availability of hot Italian food and even catering hall space has been replaced with disappointment that many chain stores, including Duane Reade, 7-Eleven, Petco and Staples, largely have not scrambled with the same determined fervor to reopen.
Sharon De Riso, a Howard Beach native who manages Clear Water Pools, said, "Many of the small business owners took a long time to reopen, because they also had destroyed homes they needed to tend to." But Clear Water, which had its roof torn off, never closed and has served about 600 customers since the storm, she said.
Ms. De Riso said she was thrilled to see that CVS finally opened on Wednesday.
State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo Jr. said recovery in Howard Beach had been slow, and he estimated that about one-third of the area's businesses were still closed. Duane Reade, he said, confirmed that it would not reopen, but promised to reassign the employees.
"It's important for these businesses to open, important for our community to regain a sense of normalcy and important for people's jobs," Mr. Addabbo said.

The Big Memoir Pitfall to Avoid
August 16, 2019 by Brenda Miller and Suzanne Paola 3 Comments

Today's guest post is an excerpt from the new third edition of Tell It Slant: Creating, Refining, and Publishing Creative Nonfiction by Brenda Miller and Suzanne Paola.
Ironically, while creative nonfiction and memoir writing can be a tool of self-discovery, you must have some distance from the self to write effectively. You must know when you are ready to write about certain subjects and when you are not—when you are still sorting them out for yourself. Perhaps you will be able to write about a small aspect of a large experience, focusing your attention on a particular detail that leads to a larger metaphorical significance.
This is not to say that creative nonfiction or memoir is devoid of emotion; on the contrary, the most powerful nonfiction is propelled by a sense of urgency, the need to speak about events that touch us deeply, both in our personal history and those that occur in the world around us. The key to successfully writing about these events is perspective.
As readers, we rarely want to read an essay that smacks either of the discourse appropriate to the "therapist's couch" or "revenge prose." In both cases, the writer has not yet gained enough perspective for wisdom or literature to emerge from experience. The writer may still be weighed down by confusing emotions, or feelings of self-pity, and want only to share those emotions with the reader. In revenge prose, the writer's intent seems to be to get back at someone else. The offender does not emerge as a fully developed character, but only as a flat, one-dimensional incarnation of awful deeds. In both cases, it is the writer who comes out looking bad.
The best writers also show a marked generosity toward the characters in their nonfiction, even those who appear unsympathetic or unredeemable. For example, Terry Tempest Williams, in "The Clan of One-Breasted Women," writes an essay that is clearly fueled by anger, but it does not come across as personally vengeful or mean-spirited. Most of the women in her family died of cancer, an illness that could have been caused by the government's testing of nuclear weapons in her home state. By channeling her energy into research, she shows herself as someone with important information to impart, aside from her own personal history. She creates a metaphor—the clan of one-breasted women—that elevates her own story into a communal one. By directing her attention to the literary design of her material, she is able to transcend the emotional minefield of that material. "Anger," she has said, "must be channeled so that it becomes nourishing rather than toxic."
The Warning Signs
In your own work, always be on the lookout for sections that seem too weighed down by the emotions from which they spring. Here are some warning signs.
Read the piece aloud and see if the prose has momentum. Where does it lag? Those are the sections that probably haven't found the right details and scenes.
Seek out any sections that too directly explore your feelings about an event rather than the event itself. Where do you say words such as "I hated," "I felt so depressed," "I couldn't stand"? The "I" here will become intrusive, a monologue of old grievances.
If you find yourself telling the reader how to feel, then you're probably headed the wrong way. Channel your creative energy, instead, into constructing the scenes, images, and metaphors that will allow readers to have their own reactions.
On the page, your life is not just your life anymore. You must put your allegiance now into creating an artifact that will have meaning outside the self.
Useful Exercises
Try writing out a memory from the perspective of at least two people who were present (members of your family, perhaps). Get their memory down as accurately as you can by questioning them, and write it as carefully and lovingly as you write your own. Think of this as an exercise in the quirks of individual perspective. If you like the results of this exercise, try juxtaposing pieces of each narrative, alternating the voices, to create a braided essay.
Are you doing "the dodge"? Go through your drafts and identify those moments most difficult for you to write. Ask yourself simply: How clear is what is happening here? A series of "it was like" or similar type sentences built on metaphor always needs to be scrutinized, asking the question of whether or not the reader knows what exactly was like that. Likewise, search for broad-brush statements giving "that relationship was a nightmare" kinds of declarations. If you are dodging, write a clear paragraph describing that moment or event purely factually. At this point, decide what of this material you actually need to incorporate into your piece. Or consider other strategies like "breaking the fourth wall." Let your readers tell you if that move works.
If you have no memory of a crucial event from a time period when your memories are otherwise clear and accessible, you may want to state this fact and probe why that might be the case. Your meditation on this trick of memory might tell us more about that time than the facts of the memory would.
Comb through the piece you're writing to ferret out any hint of therapist's couch or revenge prose. See if you can replace these moments with concrete details or images instead.

It was the cover that first attracted me to this book and it didn't mislead. This was a story I could hardly put down.
Kaitlyn is having a difficult time with her second coming of age. The first time she did it as a human girl and this time she is doing it as the first human robot/cyborg. Having signed her donor card to donate her body to science, after she suffers a fatal brain injury in a fall, her body ends up in the labs of Dr. Harrington. From that point forward, she is an experimental subject and no longer has any say over what happens to her body.
Dr. Harrington has no qualms about turning Kaitlyn into the perfect soldier, though Lucas, one of his scientists, has second thoughts about what they have done.
Even with all her enhancements, Kaitlyn is still a girl, but she no longer knows how to be the person she was before the accident. Some of her mistakes were amusing. Others reminded me of ones that a foreigner to Canada or the United States might make such as not knowing the current slang. It also emphasised that text book learning is not enough, real world experience is required.
Did I mention that there is romance. Can't tell you about that, want to keep the suspense.
Even though this level of human/robot hybrid is far off in the future, it does bring to mind the question of whether it should be done. Just because we have the technology, should we be using it.
This is a well written book that kept me reading long after I should have been asleep. Though this book is aimed at a YA audience, it has enough detail to keep an adult reader involved.

Treat your taste buds: Explore Campton restaurants.
When you think about the Campton area, images of lush foliage and covered bridges probably come to mind. That's understandable, but Campton's restaurant scene is also worth paying attention to. Fans of lobster rolls, long a regional favorite, will find many places to indulge their cravings. Campton has a small-town feel with a well-established restaurant scene, including live music and other nightlife centered around area pubs. Pancake lovers will also be happy with Campton's restaurant offerings, which include several breakfast eateries and even dedicated pancake houses. Never a town to lag behind, a booming farm-to-table movement has brought new life to Campton's restaurant scene, including several restaurants with numerous vegetarian options.


A blaze in a Brentwood restaurant is being treated as an arson attack by police.
Officers have cordoned off The Skew in Hutton, following a fire in the early hours of this morning (December 5).

Q: Wrong values in conversion from time_t and tm I have to do two conversion functions, from time_t to tm and from tm to time_t.
This is the first:
string2time(string str){

time_t rawtime;
time(&rawtime);
tm* timeInfo = localtime(&rawtime);

stringstream ss(str);
string date;
string time;
getline(ss,date,' ');
getline(ss,time,' ');

string word;
//now we work with date..
stringstream sdate(date);

getline(sdate,word,'-');
timeInfo->tm_year = atoi(word.c_str()) -1900;

getline(sdate,word,'-');
timeInfo->tm_mon = atoi(word.c_str())-1;

getline(sdate,word,'-');
timeInfo->tm_mday = atoi(word.c_str());

//and time...
stringstream stime(time);

getline(stime,word,':');
timeInfo->tm_hour = atoi(word.c_str());

getline(stime,word,':');
timeInfo->tm_min = atoi(word.c_str());

getline(stime,word,':');
timeInfo->tm_sec = atoi(word.c_str());

return mktime(timeInfo);
       }

and this is the second:
time2str(time_t t){
tm* myT;

myT = localtime(&t);
    //here i have to explore myT structure in order to build a proper string

   }

I got wrong values anyway..starting with 2013-03-10 00:00:00
in the tm structure I get 2013-04-21 18:16:29 ... why?
edit:
made some progress! This code works all time BUT when hour is 00!

A: Solved, was just an error in the string conversion...sorry for troumble.

All freshwater Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission regulations and the Big Catch program depend on total length.
This image depicts the most commonly used measurements for fish. For freshwater fish, the measurements that you need to use are total length and girth.
The total length is the maximum length of the fish, with the mouth closed and the tail fin pinched together. The best way to obtain this length is to push the fish's snout up against a vertical surface with the mouth closed and the fish laying along a tape measure, then pinch the tail fin closed and determine the total length. Do NOT pull a flexible tape measure along the curve of the fish. Prior to getting a final measurement the caudal (tail) fin will be pinched shut.
Conversely, most marine (saltwater regulations) refer to the "fork length", and scientists often use "standard length" which is to the end of the fleshy part of the body. "Standard length" has the advantage of not being affected by minor damage to the tail fin, nor does it give too much credit to a fish for the relatively light weight tail when calculating a fish's condition.
Girth is best measured with a fabric ruler, such as tailors use. It can also be determined by drawing a string around the fish at its widest point marking where the string overlaps and then measuring the distance between the overlapping points on a conventional ruler. The measurement should be taken perpendicular to the length of the fish. This measurement is analogous to measuring the circumference of someone's waist. Knowing the girth is important when trying to certify a fish for a record, and provides useful information to biologists about the relative condition of a fish.
Although it cannot be used to certify an official weight, use of the length and girth can give you a good estimate of a bass' weight. Scientists use a rather complex formula to attain the greatest accuracy. The equation is: Log (weight in grams)= -4.83 + 1.923 x Log (total length in millimeters) + 1.157 x Log (girth in millimeters). A 22" long bass with a girth of 15" weighs about 6.0 pounds using this formula.
Fortunately there are several other easy formulas that you can use, although they are not as accurate, they will give you a rough estimate. A quick, though very rough, estimate of torpedo shaped fish like young bass can be obtained by using: Total Length (in inches)-squared, times girth (in inches) divided by 1200. A 22" long bass with a girth of 15" weighs about 6.1 pounds using this formula.
Another common option used for estimating bass weights is: Girth (in inches)-squared, times length (in inches) divided by 800. A 22" long bass with a girth of 15" weighs about 6.2 pounds using this formula.


I wore this look the other night to grab a bite to eat with my Mom and we stopped by the lake before to snap a few pictures. The romper I have on is one I've had for a while, and I love it because it goes with everything. I am obsessed with the sweater I have it paired with.

The Mitsubishi Outlander was Europe's No. 1-selling plug-in hybrid in 2016 despite a 33% decline in sales.
Hybrid and plug-in hybrid sales grew an impressive 30 percent to just over 400,000 in Europe last year, but the real impact in the midterm will be made by a new, fuel-efficient mild hybrids that are cheaper and less complex than full-hybrid powertrains, according to analysts and automakers such as Volkswagen and Renault.
By 2025 mild hybrids will capture 18 percent of the European market, IHS Automotive forecasts. That's compared with 6 percent for plug-in hybrids, 3 percent for full hybrids and 3 percent for full-electric vehicles in the same time frame.
Currently, the big growth is in full hybrids, largely because of Toyota's increasing success in Europe. Expanding a technology that is enormously successful in its home market of Japan, the automaker last year launched hybrid versions of the RAV4 and CH-R compact SUVs, which joined gasoline-electric versions of the Auris compact and Yaris subcompact hatchbacks already on sale in Europe.
Last year Toyota sold 232,699 hybrids across Europe, a rise of 47 percent from the year before, according to data from market researchers JATO Dynamics. Of those, 41,814 were the new RAV4 hybrid, putting it third behind the Yaris and Auris hybrid models. Lexus was the next biggest hybrid brand with sales of 41,372.
Apart from minicars, Toyota is committed to offering hybrid variants throughout its entire range, Toyota Europe CEO Johan van Zyl told Automotive News Europe last summer. The automaker wants hybrids to account for half of its total European sales by 2020, up from 31 percent at the time of interview. Van Zyl said he expected 70 percent of C-HR sales to be hybrid. The car is not available with a diesel engine. Now that Peugeot is winding down its diesel hybrid program, Toyota's rivals for hybrid sales in Europe are limited to Kia and Hyundai, which last year launched the Niro and Ioniq compacts, respectively. The Ioniq is also available as an EV.
Hyundai and Kia will add plug-in hybrid versions of both cars later this year, further expanding a market that now offers far more choice to consumers than either the full hybrid or EV segments. Plug-in hybrid sales in Europe rose by 19 percent to 112,300 last year as new models helped drive demand. Europe's best-seller by a wide margin was once again the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which has been the region's leader in the fledgling niche since 2014. Demand for the car, however, dropped 33 percent to 21,149 last year as German automakers started to gain share in the sector.
The Volkswagen Passat GTE rose to second from seventh in 2015 after sales climbed 176 percent. The Passat GTE also took advantage of a 37 percent drop for the former No. 2 in the sector, the GTE version of the VW Golf, which fell to third. Also, seeing strong growth in the segment were the Mercedes-Benz C 350 e, Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine, BMW 330e and BMW 225xe Active Tourer.
Sales of plug-in hybrids in Europe have already overtaken those of full-electric vehicles and will continue to grow more strongly than EVs in the near term, IHS Automotive powertrain analyst Vijay Subramanian believes. But he warns the growth is precarious.
The Netherlands was by far the biggest European market for plug-in hybrids in 2015, but last year the country slipped below the UK and Norway after sales halved. The collapse was because the government withdrew generous incentives for company car drivers on discovering from fuel-card data that drivers weren't plugging them in. Instead of reducing CO2 levels, the incentives were in danger of increasing them.
Incentives are important because plug-in hybrids are more expensive than conventional models. In the UK, the largest market in Europe for both conventional and plug-in hybrids, the new Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid starts at 34,895 pounds [40,800 euros] before a 2,500-pound government incentive is applied. The Prius hybrid starts at 24,100 pounds.
Despite the high purchase price, plug-in hybrids are popular in the UK and other markets because the current EU-wide NEDC fuel-economy testing cycle is very generous to plug-in models. The low CO2 figure it generates for plug-in hybrids make them eligible for attractive tax incentives. Those perks could be reduced if the forthcoming real-driving emissions (RDE) element of the revamped fuel economy test records more realistic figures.
"The dramatic fall in PHEV [plug-in hybrid electric vehicle] demand in the Netherlands confirms how dependent they are on incentives," JATO analyst Felipe Munoz said. "The only real advantage they have is the incentive they can get."
Automakers are responding by accentuating the other positives of plug-in hybrid models, such as performance.
"It has this additional boost that comes on top of the gasoline propulsion that really gives you an edge. It's fantastic," BMW's board member responsible for the Mini brand, Peter Schwarzenbauer, said about the new Mini Countryman plug-in hybrid, the brand's first. The car uses a version of the drivetrain found on the BMW 225xe Active Tourer.
Even so, Schwarzenbauer admits that adding the variant to the Countryman's portfolio is a gamble. "We have studied all plug-in hybrids and cannot see a clear trend. In some markets it's booming, other markets it's zero," he told Automotive News Europe at the Los Angeles auto show last November.
Automakers and suppliers are clearer on the advantages of mild hybrids, which do not have the cost and complexity of full-hybrid powertrains.
Renault will offer the Scenic with a mild hybrid system from Continental.
In the first phase of the technology, a small 48-volt electric motor connects to the crankshaft to provide a low-cost power boost from a battery topped up with energy recovered during braking and deceleration.
Renault is about to make a big splash with the imminent arrival of its first model with the technology, the Scenic Hybrid Assist. Renault will extend the technology from its popular minivan to the Megane compact model line later this year. The vehicles will use a 48-volt system from supplier Continental, which predicts the number of cars using these lower voltage hybrid drives will reach 4 million worldwide by 2020, rising to 25 million by 2025.
Renault will use them on diesel models initially, but ultimately the technology will be applied to gasoline-powered cars to help reduce European automakers' dependence on diesels.
VW believes the technology will remove the need for the smaller 1.6-liter diesel engine altogether. "In a time not so far away, people will go for petrol engines in combination with a mild hybrid,' Volkswagen's head of research and development, Frank Welsch, told the UK's Autocar magazine in February.
The technology is cheap enough to become mainstream, Continental's board member for its powertrain division, Jose Avila, told Automotive News Europe. "Typically a manufacturer says that an acceptable compromise for fuel economy versus cost is 50 euros per gram of CO2 savings," he said. "This technology gets very close to that."
An earlier version of this story said the Suzuki Baleno and Ignis SVHS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) offer 48-volt mild hybrid variants. Suzuki's SVHS system is a 12-volt mild hybrid.

, consumers are using their phones and desktop computers in similar ways. However, it has not always been easy to reach people on these new mobile phones. That's why we're investing in new high-end mobile advertising products. We hope to make advertising on high-end mobile devices as intuitive and powerful as our existing AdWords tools.
We've just launched a new AdSense feature that will allow you to target your standard AdWords ads to high-end mobile phones. You will be able to extend your existing campaigns to mobile and reach users on the go, all without having to create separate mobile ads. Remember that if you don't want your ads to show on mobile phones, you can choose to target desktop computers only by editing your device settings in your AdWords campaign settings.
1. For your image ads, create ads sized 300x50, 250x250, 200x200, and 300x250. These sizes will ensure that your ads are shown on high-end mobile phones surfing mobile-optimized web content.
2. Limit the use of Flash on your website. You want to ensure that users have a good experience and flash won't work for all browsers. Instead, consider creating a mobile-optimized version of your website.
3. Make it easy for users to reach your conversion event. For example, you may choose to put your call to action in a spot on your landing page that users will find quickly or have users land directly on a page that gets users closer to the target action. Keep in mind that it's a bit more difficult to navigate websites on a mobile device, so consider shortening processes for users.
By extending your existing ad campaign to mobile, you can reach your consumers wherever they are.
Because high-end mobile phones offer a browsing experience that is similar to the desktop computer, advertising on mobile is a natural extension for any AdWords campaign. With high-end mobile phones like the iPhone and phones running Android offering full (HTML) Internet browsers, consumers are using their phones and desktop computers in similar ways. However, it has not always been easy to reach people on these new mobile phones. That's why we're investing in new high-end mobile advertising products. We hope to make advertising on high-end mobile devices as intuitive and powerful as our existing AdWords tools.

So, if bittrex delist this coin, do we have to wait 300 more confirmations to send uno to a different exchange?
OMG, This coin is taking to long to confirm.
Wow brother, you should have read the post. It's not the coin, it's the exchange. For some reason Bittrex requires 300 confirmation. It's not our fault.
thanks! at least sth. Though I'm afraid it'll be only worth a third of what is atm. Didn't know that Bittrex required 300 conf beforehand. What a letdown!
What's up with the big price increase? Come comment on our daily chart segment where UNO is featured.
It was a nice pump but the dump were not long in coming. What is the reason? I haven't found any news on official web site.
Don't know what happened or why but if I were you I'd start moving them to Cryptopia before everyone else tries to, or you might get caught in the traffic jam! I am using Cryptopia and though it's not as user-friendly as some exchanges, its reliable, support is good and quick and there is a good, helpful community. (I believe it may be owned and operated by Kim Dotcom). You could do worse, take Bittrex for example, constantly causing problems for users and delisting coins for no good reason.
How many confirmation does Cryptopia want ? does it want 300 confirmations like bittrex? or 5-10 is enough ?
It was 20. I don't know if it is still the same. You can login and check.
they keep saying its uno blockchain.
Nice job, pumpers, you've done really well. Hope you enjoy every single buck. Lost 4000$, I wanna suicide now.
I don't know why you even talk like that. First of all that's no amount of money to end your life. Secondly, if you haven't sold, you haven't lost anything. Put your coins in a paper wallet And forget about them for a year and come back and be happy.
That's a huge loss for me. Not sure it'll ever hit ATH without bittrex though.
Nice to see that unobtanium is still alive. This coin has a legendary status to me, because its one of the great old crypto coins. It´s a really rare coin and it feels very good to have some of them in my pocket .
Please do not use www.bleutrade.com they are theives! I created an account today and cannot log back in. I have tried eveything and zero in response. Their login page doesn't work, password reset doesn't work, NOTHING!!! Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Please help because I just lost a lot of UNO and those assholes took it from me.
People who want to try UNO have been complaining for months that they install the UNO client and they cannot connect to peers. Nobody is listening to them.


In the late 19th Century, widows followed a Victorian protocol. For the first year, a woman who was in 'full mourning' was not allowed to exit her home without full black attire and a weeping veil.
I identified the unique monuments as from the Chattanooga National Cemetery. Today's view is dramatically different - and contains many more graves. One in particular at that location matches the likely time frame. George B. Woodworth lived on Payne Street, a few doors down from our likely photographer, Charles G. Walline. He served in the Civil War as a musician in Co.H, 12th PA Infantry.
On January 11th, 1897 - at age 59, he dressed himself with care, laid down on the floor, and shot himself in the head. 'Temporary insanity due to business troubles' was reported as the cause. Even more tragically - his son Frank H. Woodworth, a local hardware merchant, would make a failed suicide attempt in the same method in 1904.
Given the facts - it is with a high degree of certainty that the grieving woman seen at the grave is Adalaide Case Woodworth; Franks' mother, and George's wife.
Chattanooga High School was founded in the fall of 1874. These photos show in never before seen detail, the school's 5th location at the D. C. McMillian House on Gilmer (now 8th) Street. David Claiborne McMillin (1819-1897), was Chattanooga's mayor during 1856.
Standing in the shadows in one photo is (very likely) Prof. Henry D. Wyatt, the father of the public school system in Chattanooga with CHS's establishment in 1872. By 1901, his Vice-Principal was Fred H. Phillips, Jr. - a often photographed acquaintance of our likely photographer, Charles G. Walline.
Remarkably, three members of this group and this particular event appear in photos from both the here (photographer assumed to be Charles G. Walline), and also in a photo from the Charlie Coulter Glass Plate Collection - acquired at separate estate sales over 40 years apart.
C. G. Walline and his mother appear in another group photo on another day with several people seen in this photo. Suffice it to say, there was more than one photographer in the group.
Three people as seen in a different photo collection are each wearing the same attire and is likely at the same event.
The gentleman in the center with the vest and coat appears to be an important and/or wealthy man.
Location is unknown. Clues include a nearby creek with wood plank walking bridges and paths. Also, there appears to be a large pile of shale behind the group, possibly from past coal mining operations in the area.
A unique view behind the original destination of the Incline #2. Open year-round, the Lookout Inn was 365 feet long and four stories tall. It had two five-story towers, a huge network of wide porches and verandas, 450 rooms that could accommodate over 500 guests. It was built in 1890.
Thought to be fireproof, the inn was engulfed in a blaze Nov. 17, 1908, and the flames and smoke could be seen from downtown Chattanooga. At the time, only a few handfuls of guests were staying in the hotel. Luckily, they all escaped from harm.

From the Charlie Coulter Glass Plate Collection.
While the original location on Market Street has been in the news lately by its unfortunate collapse, this photo is from the mill's long-time 3-story location on South Broad Street. The building remained until 1991 when it was demolished.
By 1914, The Sheltons filed a trademark for "celebrated Hungarian Purity flour" and used "the Hungarian system." This photo appears to pre-date that.
Again, we see a generation embracing humor in photography. Note the straight-faced actions of 2 men on the front row, each grabbing the ear of a co-worker as the photo was taken.

Emma Power receives funding from the Australian Research Council. She has previously received funding from the former UnitingCare Ageing NSW.ACT and the Petcare Information and Advisory Service.
Eligibility requirements for community housing mean many who require low-cost housing, where rent is calculated at between 25% and 30% of household income, are not able to gain access.
The second target of the bond aggregator is affordable housing. This is housing that is rented at between 75% and 80% of market rent. It is often described as "key worker" housing, where teachers, ambulance drivers and police officers can live.
that the housing provider continues their commitment to house the tenant securely once their income drops, so the risk here is to the housing provider's bottom line. They will face a loss of income, as they drop rents from 80% of market value to around 30% of the retired person's pension.
The budget tips its hat to first home buyers; prospective buyers will now be allowed to save up to A$30,000 at a reduced tax rate. But this is barely one-quarter of a standard 20% deposit for most apartments in Sydney.
There remains a need for courageous government action to tackle the structural inequities in the housing market.
Removing tax incentives that keep investor heat in the market will be essential – and so will increases to social housing budgets.
Investment in a large stock of secure low-cost social housing should be prioritised. Failing this, there will be a need to increase rent assistance payments, particularly in high-cost regions.
But this is far from ideal. More rent assistance will help renters in the short term, but amounts to a subsidy for private landlords in the long term.
… the state should be understood as an agency that sustains the conditions necessary for the finance industry, developers and real estate agents, along with well-off householders and landlords, to reap profits.

Drs' Slazus Ophthalmologists
Eye Disorders
About your eyes
Below are frequently asked questions about Lasik Surgery and Cataracts.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information, should you have any questions or concerns.
Is it painful?
The operation is done under local anaesthesia and the drops take away all pain sensation. When the suction ring is applied to the eye before cutting the flap, a deep pressing sensation is experienced which lasts for 30 seconds. Two to three hours after surgery the eyes tend to be scratchy and tear a lot. Pain tablets are supplied which will take away the discomfort.
What are my chances to be without glasses?
In myopia up to -7 D the success rate is 95% to be without glasses with one operation. It means that there is a 5% chance that you may need a second operation to focus the eyes even clearer. If the myopia is more than -7D, the chances are 85% to be without glasses.
When will I see again?
Immediately after the operation the vision is already much better. The next morning the Dr Slazus removes the patches and then most patients have normal vision.
What is a cataract?
When the clear lens of the eye becomes opaque, it is called a cataract. The cloudy lens interferes with the transmission of light rays through the lens and causes a blurred image on the retina. This leads to a reduction in visual acuity.
What cause cataracts?
The majority of cataracts form as part of the normal aging process. 80% of people over the age of 60 have cataract formation to some degree. The condition is also caused by certain diseases for example diabetes mellitus. Under certain situation babies are born with cataracts and needs surgery soon after birth.
Do cataracts lead to blindness?
Early cataracts may decrease the distance vision, while the near vision remains normal. As the cataract progress the vision deteriorates, but does not necessarily cause blindness.
Treatment?
The only treatment is surgical removal. Diet cannot be used nor are there any drops or other medicines that can be used. Cataract surgery can reverse the reduction in vision. You may choose, and the doctor usually recommends, when the cataract has to be removed. In most cases the surgery is indicated when the visual impairment interferes with daily activities, such as driving a car or reading.
How is cataract surgery performed?
Cataract surgery is very delicate surgery and is performed under a microscope in theatre. It is done on a day patient basis, which means you can go home soon after surgery. It is not necessary to administer general anesthesia as the operation can be done very successfully with local anesthesia while the patient is awake. During phaco-emulcification the cataract is broken into small pieces with an ultrasonic hand piece and these fragments are removed through a very small incision made at the edge of the cornea. An intra-ocular lens is then implanted at the same position where the natural lens was situated in the eye.
What is an intra-ocular lens?
It is a small piece of optical plastic, which is molded to a specific strength according to the need of the patient. The intra-ocular lens needs no cleaning and is permanently implanted.
Can a cataract develop again?
Once a cataract is removed it will not develop again. At a later stage you may experience a decrease in vision, which is due to opacification of the lens capsule. The capsule supports the intraocular lens in the eye. This can be treated with a laser, at the consulting rooms of the doctor.
Are there any restrictions after surgery?
After the operation you may go home as soon as you feel comfortable. Driving is restricted for the first few days after surgery, but you may resume other normal activities. Special care should be taken not to press on or rub the eye during the first week after surgery.
Is cataract surgery always successful?
Even if the surgical removal of the cataract was uncomplicated, the vision after surgery may not be perfect. This is usually due to changes in the retina of the eye. The retina is the equivalent of a film in a camera. If the film is damage a clear picture is not possible even if new lenses are added to the front of the camera. The film has to be replaced which will then create a perfect picture. It is at this stage unfortunately not possible to treat some of the changes in the retina which older people experience, for example disciform macular degeneration or calcification of the retina.

Clownfish rely on the anemone for protection from predators. But a young clownfish decided to find a new home and left his anemone. He searched the coral reef for somewhere to hide. Eventually, he found a bed of coral with fern-like fronds.
Skip The Sunscreen While Diving : It can damage and even kill coral reefs, says a study in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives. Italian marine biologists have linked four UV-blocking chemicals in sunscreens to coral bleaching because they cause viral infections in the symbiotic algae that live inside reef-building coral. The viruses replicate until their algae hosts explode, infecting neighboring coral. The researchers estimate that 5,000 tons of sunscreen wash off people in oceans annually, and that up to 10 percent of coral reefs are threatened by sunscreen-induced bleaching.

Jharkhand ranks 4th in terms of working and non-working iron ore mines in India
Representational Picture courtesy-coalpost.in
There are 251 working and 267 non-working iron-ore mines in the country. Out of which 12 working mines and 36 non-working mines are located in State of Jharkhand.
The Minister of State for Mines and Steel Vishnu Deo Sai provided the information to the Rajya Sabha on May 4, 2016 in reply to a question raised by Rajya Sabha member Parimal Nathwani.
According to the Minister's statement, Jharkhand ranks fourth in terms of non-working iron ore mines in India. With 77 non-working iron-ore mines Odisha tops the list, while Karnataka and Goa are on second and third positions with 66 and 40 non-working iron-ore mines respectively.
Nathwani wanted to know about the details of number of sick iron ore mines in the country and the government's plan to revive sick iron ore mines. However, according to the minister's statement, the government does not categories mines as sick mines but non-working mines. Therefore, no information was provided about the number of sick mines and plans to revive them.

When Eric Dyer was 11 years old, he sat inside his aunt's house reading her books and magazines on architecture while friends played outside.
"She wanted to be an interior designer but never followed through," he said sitting at his desk in his sleekly modern office in Hallandale Beach where he is design director of Trend Design + Build and CEO of the Arthur Collection. "I knew then I wanted to be an architect and felt I should follow through for her."

Sparrow's, Poet's Deaths
by Christine Rhein
https://qarrtsiluni.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/rhein-sparrows-poets-deaths-podcast.mp3
Competing News Stories, November 2005
Number on number—
over four million dominoes, one hapless
flight through an open window. Praise the
protective system, deliberate
gaps that limit the toppling—
no problem to reassemble
"Domino Theatre of Eternal Stories"
once the rifle was aimed into the rafters.
The sparrow will be displayed
in a Dutch natural history museum,
feathers realigned, body hollowed,
perched atop a box of dominoes—
"Traditional Matching Game."
Dead bird has triggered protests…
a spokesman's lament,
I only wish we could channel
the energy for this house sparrow into
saving the species… Hundreds at her funeral,
girlfriend remembering their
Golden Needle Sewing School,
line of burqas, hunger for air,
Shakespeare hidden in straw baskets,
the Taliban overlooking fabric, thread.
Her poems, rippled with sorrow,
I am caged in this corner…
My wings are closed and I cannot fly…
Nadia Anjuman, twenty-five years old,
her words bringing shame to the family—
I am an Afghan woman and so must wail.
Husband admits beating her.
He claims she took poison, doesn't allow
an autopsy, wants to protect infant son.
Smokey Flower, first book, just published—
If you are looking for stars in my eyes,
that is a tale that does not exist.
Note: In November of 2005, there were very few news reports about Nadia Anjuman's death and the brave crowd at her funeral. At the same time, news stories about the domino world record attempt and the sparrow were abundant, in part because the killing of the sparrow launched several street protests in The Netherlands. The disparity in the levels of both media coverage and criminal investigation prompted this contrapuntal poem. More information about Nadia Anjuman is available at UniVerse: A United Nations of Poetry.

As an user/administrator, how can I plan issues in order to have etimated time spanned automatically across available days?
one issue is estimated 20 hours long.
he would like to set a start day (or a range of days) and, given a time availability of at least 2 hours a day, have Tempo Timesheet span the issue estimated time along the available days.
In the example above, assuming to start on 1st of june, 2 hours a day, 20 hours estimate, means an elapsed of 10 days (1 to 12 of june with week end off).
given the above example, if Tempo plan feature is choosen, no way to perform such task.
Even choosing range, the span is given moltiplicating 2 hours for the number of days in the range, regardless of the etimation.
In the example, if I choose a range from 1 to 20 of june, it moltiplicates 2 x 15 days (20 days with weekends off), 30 hours planned against the real and wished 20, overlocking by 1/3 the real availability.
Hi Fabio, you are correct, Tempo does not offer functionality for this excact use case. We are very much aware of it however and hope to offer a better solution in the near future.


It may look like a giant yummy burger, but it sure doesn't taste as good.
Next story Be careful when carving cats into pumpkins.

It's gross and disturbing but I can't stop looking at it.


Do you like my blog? I hope you got inspired by my posts. If yes, follow me on the other channels. My Anasa is social. I have an Instagram account where I share my pictures and a lot of stories. From my profile, you can get news about my trips and see images of all the places I visit. I admit that it is my favorite social network and I am often connected there. You can reach me through direct messages and I check them daily so I can answer quite soon. If you want to share my pictures, feel free to do it, but tag me.
My Anasa is social also on Twitter. Check out my posts. I generally used it to share my blog posts, but time to time I share something else, always related to tips, guides, and destinations. It's all about my direct experience. Traveling around a word is more than a passion and what I like to do is to share it with you. How? Giving you all my ideas, advice, and review of the places, hotels, restaurants, flights, and so on.
Not only IG and Twitter. I have also a Pinterest profile. Why should you follow me on Pinterest? Because My Anasa is social! No, this is not the answer. Because over there you can see a lot of boards. Some are like the same categories of my blog, with a bit more… "pins". Others concern some of my other passions, not only traveling. So following my page on Pinterest you will get something extra. What? Do you really think I am going to answer here? Check it. Go and explore. You will have your answer.

My work in progress. The last channel I have is on Youtube. It's quite recent, I am using it step by step, but I am implementing it with different slideshows and videos. You can check it and follow it. My Anasa is social and this means that I am going to share different contents on each channel. That's why I invite you to follow me on all my pages. Feel free also to send your feedback, it helps me to improve the page and my activity.
For my readers and followers, I also select some special offers and discounts. They are related to the travel sector. Check them out. Maybe you can save money on your purchases or just get some benefits.
