As I grow older, I am much more aware of making purchases that are thoughtfully created and that I know will last, which is why I am completely in love with the kitchen and home goods from Thisispaper Shop. Brought to life from the crew behind Thisispaper Magazine, it doesn't hurt that they have a gorgeous lookbook to show off their products, all which are handcrafted in the Thisispaper studio or sourced from environmentally friendly suppliers.
Their mantra is that "no everyday item is too dull or too unglamorous to be carefully designed, handcrafted and loved." This Sunday Lunch chapter of the Thisispaper lookbook is what really caught my eye. I have no doubt I will use these images for inspiration to host a summer afternoon luncheon with my friends.

just like california sunshine.
they say there is 'something' about the light in california that is kind of magical. i'll agree with that. there is a particularly golden hue to everything here, from highway one along the pacific to the glow at sunset shining off san francisco's skyscrapers. mellow yellow — it's a color that's always cheerful, and its impact, even in the smallest doses, is bold and kind of fearless. yellow just has unquestionable flair!
tuesday's girl: martha mcquade.
it's a big week for minneapolis-based designer martha mcquade — and a lucky one for fans like me who have been anxiously awaiting what martha's been up to. martha has a brand new website AND a new clothing collection as well — both of which are stunning. Kate Miss helped Martha develop her new site using Virb (which I posted about last week) and it's just so lovely to look at. I quite like the workbook section martha included so be sure and have a look there and prepare to be inspired.
Trained as an architect, Martha McQuade lives and works in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she teaches architecture, designs clothing + textiles, makes buildings, takes photographs, and writes about process + design. her motto: "If you can design one thing, you can design everything." — Massimo Vignelli. she proves this to be completely true! you can shop for martha mcquade's made to order clothing collection here, as well as her beautiful line of hand-dyed scarves, scarfshop, too. now, to go order this skirt. must-have!

summer up: movie night.
ahhhh, summer's coming and the livin' is easy. but you know what i really miss? drive-in theatres. my family and i used to go a lot. my mum would pack a picnic dinner and my brother and i would huddle in our sleeping bags in the back of the country squire station wagon to watch some great summer flick with my parents up front in command of those staticky old drive-in stereo speakers that attached to the car window. about the next best thing i could come up with was a summer movie night — but let's make it an an outdoor summer movie night.
so, to make things cozy, we laid out some fun vintage picnic blankets, grabbed some colorful mis-matched patio chairs and strung a white sheet from an old clothesline with clothing pins. we hung some globe lights for ambience and set up a projector. so many good movies to choose from for a summer movie night: moonrise kingdom, the graduate, or maybe the ever-inspiring amelie. and then of course, the movie snacks! you gotta have milk duds, and junior mints, good & plenty and naturally, red vines. and it goes without saying you must have fresh popped movie popcorn, and everyone needs their own darn bag! don't forget the beverages — we made ours festive with a tub of fun colored sodas and homemade lemonade in a vintage-inspired dispenser jar. now we're set. all we need is for the lights in the sky to fade and the projector to do its magic. perfect stay at home, summer movie night.

When the IBM PC was first designed, it had no sound card, so the 'audible bell' character (ascii BEL or '\b') had to be linked to a tone emitted by the internal PC speaker. The designers chose C, and so a square-wave c emitted by a PC speaker is called a c-note. The audible bell is typically used for indicating particular types of error conditions -- for instance, using backspace at the beginning of a line. It is occasionally abused by BASIC programmers, because of the 'BEEP' command (which emits a c-note). Audible bell characters are also printed during the BIOS setup routines on some older machines. "I must have hung my vim session -- every key I press gives me a c note."

The question is, build what's needed by WHOM?
You've had many, many people (myself included) state that what the users (us) want and need is the equivalent of today's network transparency features that X provides.
Yet many people here seem perfectly happy to ignore and pooh-pooh the users who really matter (those that we already have!) in some quest to obtain users that we don't have (those that use, and almost certainly will continue to use, Macs and Windows systems).
Ivory tower dwellers are people too!
WHOM is right :-)

Well, paying customers, obviously. Someone must pay for the development of the new hardware and software - and "he who pays the piper calls the tune".
Sure. And there are many, many people who care about z80 programming on TI-84. Should we now think about z80 compatibility when we write USB drivers?
Huh? Where have you got this idea?
Fact: most Linux users don't care about network transparency at all.
Proof: more then 50 million Android phones were sold till now. There are less then 1.5 billions PCs in the world today so if we assume 3% of them are using Linux (typical estimate) we'll find out that there are more Android users then desktop Linux users.
"Traditional Linux users" who care about network transparency and other such things are fast becoming minority - and this is exactly why we are talking about "life after X" today.
We can, of course, say that we only care about ourselves and say that Android, ChromeOS, MeeGo and other such things are "not Linux" and "we don't care" - but it'll only mean that Linux will be left in dust and non-Linux (based on the same kernel!) will replace it.
Posted Nov 12, 2010 0:40 UTC (Fri) by jmorris42 (subscriber, #2203) [Link]
Who cares. Seriously, counting Android as Linux users is as crazy as counting OS X users as UNIX, in both cases the *NIX underpinnings are only used as a hardware abstraction to host an alien environment to the typical Linux/GNU/X we typically call "Linux" as a shorthand. More power to em and all, but lets not make Apples to Oranges comparisions.
> "Traditional Linux users" who care about network transparency > and other such things are fast becoming minority
Well take yer asses off and do your clone of all the bad ideas the existing userbase fled screaming from. It is Free Software after all. Here is a clue: Most of us came to *NIX because we saw the benefits and could also see the horrid mess the DOS/Windows world was. Why do we now want to toss one of the most wonderful ideas in computing to become more like the mass market drones? The network is the computer, the computer is the network. It isn't just a marketing slogan for some of us.
Besides, I never understood why suddenly everything needs to be rendered client side as bitmaps. Extend X to give it the mechanisms to support things it can't currently do and make sure they can run over the wire. Why can't X do the modern font tricks, compositing or whatever over the wire? Why isn't the default scalable SVG artwork? Isn't it normally sufficient to note that Apple does something enough to end an argument? Well they do Display Postscript (ok, they had to modernize the terminology to Display PDF) on OS X so obviously the idea is still mainstream, right?
Is it good that Linux is finally getting the last chunk of device support and taking over mode setting and general driving of the video hardware? Of course. Is it good that makes it easier for upstarts to experiment with new display systems? Of course! Might this someday lead to replacement for X? Perhaps. But any replacement has to be able to do the things X does if the target is a general computing environment instead of embedded. We have decades of existing apps and little desire to toss em all and start over. If we wanted to do that we could all just ditch the whole stack and go run Haiku or something.

By us, of course! I'm sorry, because I'm going to introduce a little bit of FUD, but I think it's a healthy dose:
The problem is not that we are not well served by what we currently have. The problem is that most computer users out there are not. And as a consequence those people select other operating systems. Why should we care? Because marginal platforms can only survive thus far. Yes, there are still people writing code for the C64 and the Amiga, but they are few and mostly irrelevant, except for themselves. Do you want to see Linux there? I certainly don't.
So, It's OUR need to appeal to as many users as we can, and serve them well in as many use cases as we can, to ensure our own survival. Specialization and immobilism will be death for the platform.

Understated and elegant
It is a little weighty on the ears, and I find the studs at the back a bit too tight, but otherwise I like them. They're not flashy, but rather understated and elegant.

In the house, Republican Chris Collins, who represents the new 27th Congressional District, was sworn in Thursday afternoon.
During his freshman orientation, the congressman said Democrats should get used to him reaching across the aisle.
"We can't just talk about our problems; we need solutions. It does mean some level of compromise, there's no two ways about it, but common sense solutions to get our spending under control and we can't just mortgage our children's future. And in their name, that's what I'm coming to Congress for – for future generations and to return the promise of the U.S. to it's past glory," said Collins, (R).
Collins represents Niagara, Orleans, Genesee, Wyoming and Livingston counties, as well as parts of Erie and Ontario counties.
With Collins officially starting his term Thursday, Kathy Hochul's time in office ended.
Hochul beat out Republican Assemblywoman Jane Corwin for the 26th Congressional District during a special election back in May of 2011. She served for 18 months.
In a statement, Hochul said: "Together we made a difference. That's the true purpose and joy of public service... the betterment of people's lives. I thank you with all my heart for your belief in me."
Maffei represents Wayne, Cayuga and Onondaga counties as well as parts of Oswego County.
"If we focus on the middle class, their needs, making the right kinds of investments, balancing the budget but doing it in the right way... I think we've got a big opportunity in the next few months. It's going to be a challenge, but I'm up to it," Maffei said.

Grief-stricken colleagues of Theresa Gorski, a 47-year-old Legal Aid Society attorney who devoted the last decade of her career to advocating for children, met with counselors yesterday in the aftermath of what was described as a domestic violence-related death.
"She was a hard worker who cared about children and every day made a difference in their lives through her passionate advocacy," said Steven Banks, attorney-in-chief of Legal Aid. "She was a passionate advocate for the children that she represented over the course of 11 years at The Legal Aid Society. She was a beloved colleague of staff in our Bronx Juvenile Rights Office and she will be sorely missed by the entire juvenile rights staff and Legal Aid Society across the city."
Gorski died Jan. 9 when she was removed from life support at Phelps Memorial Hospital, a short distance from her home in Sleepy Hollow, Westchester County. According to law enforcement, she allegedly was choked early on the morning of Jan. 5 by her husband, Christopher Howson, in the home they shared with their 5- and 8-year-old daughters.
Howson, 49, was charged with second-degree attempted murder and first-degree strangulation. Additional charges are pending now that Gorski has died.
Banks said Gorski was "driven by the importance of making a difference for children so they would have a chance in life." He said grief counseling has been offered to staff struggling to deal with "a feeling of tremendous loss."
Legal Aid's Juvenile Rights Practice represents about 90 percent of the children appearing in Family Court on child protective, juvenile delinquency and termination of parental rights cases, according to Legal Aid's website. Its lawyers serve as attorneys for the children to protect their interests.
Banks said Gorski, who was admitted in 1991 after graduating from Columbia Law School, joined Legal Aid in 2001.
Jessica Brenes, an assistant advocate for the New York City Police Department and former attorney with the Administration for Children's Services, described her sometime adversary as a "champion for children" who was extraordinarily well prepared, and whose low-key, soft-spoken nature was left at the doorstep when she went to court.
"Theresa was not particularly outgoing or aggressive, but when it came to her clients, Theresa was there for her clients and nobody else," Brenes recalled. "She was passionate about her work, passionate about the things they were going through. It was amazing to me that, even having small children at home, she found the time to put as much work as she did into her cases."
Brenes said Gorski rarely spoke of personal matters and she never heard of or saw any indication of domestic violence.

"Pretty much of a dud."
Phil Gigante did a fine job as usual, but this book was not worth listening to. I put it on double time but had a hard time staying with it. If I'd had the book, I would have flipped to the back to find out what happened.
"The Best Book I've Listened to in at Least a Year!"
WOW! My first Erik Larson book and definitely not my last. I only wish Scott Brick was the narrator for the one I just bought. From the first sentence through the last one, I was completely taken in by this story and this performance. I learned so much and I enjoyed every second of it. I can't even think of a book that was as "perfect" (I hate to use that word) as this one and definitely better to listen because of Scott Brick than it would have been if I had read it. It sounds like a novel but of course, it's true, which made it even more exciting. Loved it!!
"Save your credit"
Normally I don't review before I finish a book but I could not bring myself to listen to any more of it. The narrator doesn't help this book at all. And it needs a lot of help. The characters are disconnected. The plot is disconnected (or maybe it pulls together at some point but I never got there). Supposedly this is part of a three-part series, but it's the only one from the series I'll be accessing.
The reviews are all over the place. There are people who love it (and I'm glad for them) but it was not worth listening to and I wasn't going to waste time on the second half. There are hundreds of thousands of good books. I've switched over to one of those now.
"Something Different from Sara Paretsky - Good one!"
I love Sara Peretsky's books and for some reason, have had this one on my iPhone for a long time and FINALLY listened. It was great! The only reason I didn't rate it 5/5 on everything was some of it was a little far-fetched, but I still loved the book. Interesting and clever and I thoroughly enjoyed the listen. You'll be happy you bought it or used one of your credits.
"FABULOUS! Buy and listen now"
This one was one of those books that made me want to listen instead of doing anything else! I started it just before a 4-day trip and was happy to stand in lines at airports because it gave me time to listen. Very intriguing and cleverly plotted. Original in so many ways. Loved the characters and am looking forward to Lisa Gardner's next book. The narrator was outstanding! SO many different voices and she made the story that much more interesting.
"Worth listening."
I'm a HUGE Harlan Coben fan so I buy all of his books. This one, narrated fabulously by Scott Brick, will definitely hold your interest. Plenty of it is far-fetched, but that's OK. It's fiction.
"Buy the Book Not the Audio"
The story was good and I wish I had read the book. The narrator was in such a hurry and he didn't vary the voices or the narrated portions at all. I can't remember the last audio book that was this poorly narrated. I'm spoiled by all the other great narrators and I'll remember to avoid ones Rob Patterson does unless he improves. The story was pretty good, however.
"Interesting Premise - Suspend Disbelief - Go w/It"
Scott Brick is fabulous and spoils you, as far as what you expect from narrators. He kept the book moving along. The premise and portions of the plot are interesting and yet it is so far fetched that I certainly wouldn't rate this as a 5-star book. 3 1/2 is where I wanted to put my rating.
It's worth a credit and I'll be hopeful that Meltzer's next book is better. He has a lot of talent.
"Move along. This one is a real disappointment."
Oh, brother. I forced myself to wait 'til the end of this book to write a review. I kept hoping it would get better and it never did. I have read or listened to many of Kay Hooper's books and have enjoyed them all. This one was ridiculous and I think the narrator made it worse. I don't want to just beat up on the narrator or the story, but I would highly recommend you go find one of Hooper's early books/series and listen to that one. And definitely make sure they are narrated by someone else. If there are more in this series (since Hooper tends to write in groups), I won't buy them, that is for sure.
"Preston & Child "jumped the shark" with this one"
I am a HUGE fan of Preston & Child and their Pendergast series. I finished this one only because I am such a big fan and Rene Auberjonois is such a master narrator. I will certainly buy the next book in the series - but if it is as far off the mark as this one is, it will be my last. The reviews on this book, which I read the other day, long after I'd purchased mine since I had it on auto-purchase, were clearly wildly mixed. Some love it and others are feeling like I do - pretty disappointed. I won't go into all the craziness that was in this book, but suffice it to say that it didn't live up to everyone's expectations for what we want from our favorite FBI agent (and those who write about him).
"Not the very best in the series, but still good"
I've read or listened to all of the Harry Bosch stories (and I miss Dick Hill). This one held my interest and was worth the time - and it wasn't the very best in the series. Don't start with this one. Go back if you haven't already learned all about Harry.

The smallest unit of organization that FreeBSD uses to find
files is the filename. Filenames are case-sensitive, which
means that readme.txt
are two separate files. FreeBSD
does not use the extension of a file to determine whether the
file is a program, document, or some other form of data.
Files are stored in directories. A directory may contain no files, or it may contain many hundreds of files. A directory can also contain other directories, allowing you to build up a hierarchy of directories within one another in order to organize data.
Files and directories are referenced by giving the file or
directory name, followed by a forward slash,
, followed by any other directory names that
are necessary. For example, if the directory
contains a directory
which contains the
file readme.txt
, the full name, or
path, to the file is
. Note that this is
different from Windows® which uses
to separate file and directory
names. FreeBSD does not use drive letters, or other drive names in
the path. For example, you would not type
on FreeBSD.
Directories and files are stored in a file system. Each
file system contains exactly one directory at the very top
level, called the root directory for that
file system. This root directory can contain other
directories. One file system is designated the
root file system or /
Every other file system is mounted under
the root file system. No matter how many disks you have on your
FreeBSD system, every directory appears to be part of the same
Suppose you have three file systems, called
, and
. Each file system has one root directory,
which contains two other directories, called
(and likewise
Call A
the root file system. If you used
to view the contents of this directory you
would see two subdirectories, A1
. The directory tree looks like
A file system must be mounted on to a directory in another
file system. When mounting file system
on to the directory A1

Any files that are in the B1

Continuing the last example, the C

directory in the B
file system, leading to
this arrangement:
Or C
could be mounted directly on to the
file system, under the
This is similar, although not identical, to a MS-DOS®
Typically you create file systems when installing FreeBSD and decide where to mount them, and then never change them unless you add a new disk.
It is entirely possible to have one large root file system, and not need to create any others. There are some drawbacks to this approach, and one advantage.
Different file systems can have different
mount options. For example, the root
file system can be mounted read-only, making it impossible
for users to inadvertently delete or edit a critical file.
Separating user-writable file systems, such as
, from other
file systems allows them to be mounted
nosuid. This option prevents the
suid/guid bits
on executables stored on the file system from taking effect,
possibly improving security.
FreeBSD automatically optimizes the layout of files on a file system, depending on how the file system is being used. So a file system that contains many small files that are written frequently will have a different optimization to one that contains fewer, larger files. By having one big file system this optimization breaks down.
FreeBSD's file systems are very robust should you lose power. However, a power loss at a critical point could still damage the structure of the file system. By splitting data over multiple file systems it is more likely that the system will still come up, making it easier to restore from backup as necessary.
File systems are a fixed size. If you create a file system when you install FreeBSD and give it a specific size, you may later discover that you need to make the partition bigger. This is not easily accomplished without backing up, recreating the file system with the new size, and then restoring the backed up data.
FreeBSD features the growfs(8) command, which makes it possible to increase the size of file system on the fly, removing this limitation.
File systems are contained in partitions. This does not
have the same meaning as the common usage of the term partition
(for example, MS-DOS® partition), because of FreeBSD's UNIX®
heritage. Each partition is identified by a letter from
through to h
. Each
partition can contain only one file system, which means that
file systems are often described by either their typical mount
point in the file system hierarchy, or the letter of the
partition they are contained in.
FreeBSD also uses disk space for swap space to provide virtual memory. This allows your computer to behave as though it has much more memory than it actually does. When FreeBSD runs out of memory, it moves some of the data that is not currently being used to the swap space, and moves it back in (moving something else out) when it needs it.
Some partitions have certain conventions associated with them.
Partition | Convention |
a | Normally contains the root file system. |
b | Normally contains swap space. |
c | Normally the same size as the enclosing slice.
This allows utilities that need to work on the entire
slice, such as a bad block scanner, to work on the
c partition. You would not normally
create a file system on this partition. |
d | Partition d used to have a
special meaning associated with it, although that is now
gone and d may work as any normal
partition. |
Each partition-that-contains-a-file-system is stored in what FreeBSD calls a slice. Slice is FreeBSD's term for what the common call partitions, and again, this is because of FreeBSD's UNIX® background. Slices are numbered, starting at 1, through to 4.
Slice numbers follow the device name, prefixed with an
, starting at 1. So
"da0s1" is the first slice on
the first SCSI drive. There can only be four physical slices on
a disk, but you can have logical slices inside physical slices
of the appropriate type. These extended slices are numbered
starting at 5, so "ad0s5" is
the first extended slice on the first IDE disk. These devices
are used by file systems that expect to occupy a slice.
Slices, "dangerously dedicated" physical
drives, and other drives contain
partitions, which are represented as
letters from a
to h
. This
letter is appended to the device name, so
"da0a" is the a
partition on
the first da
drive, which is "dangerously
dedicated". "ad1s3e" is
the fifth partition in the third slice of the second IDE disk
Finally, each disk on the system is identified. A disk name starts with a code that indicates the type of disk, and then a number, indicating which disk it is. Unlike slices, disk numbering starts at 0. Common codes that you will see are listed in Table 4.1, "Disk Device Codes".
When referring to a partition, include the disk name,
, the slice number, and then the partition
letter. Examples are shown in Example 4.1, "Sample Disk, Slice, and Partition Names".
Example 4.2, "Conceptual Model of a Disk" shows a conceptual model of a disk layout.
When installing FreeBSD, configure the disk slices, create partitions within the slice to be used for FreeBSD, create a file system or swap space in each partition, and decide where each file system will be mounted.
Code | Meaning |
ad | ATAPI (IDE) disk |
da | SCSI direct access disk |
acd | ATAPI (IDE) CDROM |
cd | SCSI CDROM |
fd | Floppy disk |
Name | Meaning |
ad0s1a | The first partition (a ) on the
first slice (s1 ) on the first IDE
disk (ad0 ). |
da1s2e | The fifth partition (e ) on the
second slice (s2 ) on the second
SCSI disk (da1 ). |
This diagram shows FreeBSD's view of the first IDE disk
attached to the system. Assume that the disk is 4 GB in
size, and contains two 2 GB slices (MS-DOS® partitions).
The first slice contains a MS-DOS® disk,
, and the second slice contains a
FreeBSD installation. This example FreeBSD installation has
three data partitions, and a swap partition.
The three partitions will each hold a file system.
Partition a
will be used for the root file
system, e
for the /var/
directory hierarchy, and
for the /usr/

Best Fall Dresses for Your Body Type
In fall, layering can be fun. But sometimes, it's sort of nice to be able to skip the puzzle and throw on a dress, a cozy jacket and just go. These dresses are not only ideal for fall's lazy, running-late moments—no more juggling a button-up, sweater, vest, pants, etc—but also tailored to your body type, too.

The first incident happened shortly after 12:30 p.m. on November 26.
Police say the teens asked a 26-year-old woman for the time, and when she pulled out her phone, they slapped it out of her hand, picked it up off the ground and ran off.
They struck again on November 29 around the same time, according to police.
Police say one of the teens held a 21-year-old woman's arms from behind as the other snatched a cell phone from the victim's hand.
No one was hurt in either incident.

Man I was completely expecting you to hang Vriska in the first five minutes of your comic.
Then John could go on adventures with Vriska's decapitated head.
Oh inside jokes. . .
Your name is Vriska Serket. You recently awoke from yet another HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE. This has been happening every night, but you are absolutely sure these bad dreams have no purpose other than to freak you out.
You have been living on Earth for three days now. For REASONS WE WILL NOT GO INTO DETAIL, you and all of your 11 Troll friends managed to survive, and the humans got their planet back. Your fellow Trolls are not on Earth, instead they are elsewhere. You decided to stay with your human friend. You felt as if you didn't belong with the rest of your species, and instead you wanted to try being like a human.
It has not been easy.
You look outside and notice it is still dark. You are having problems adjusting to sleeping at night. It just seems so unnatural. During the day you feel tired, and at night you feel restless.
You have a few hours to kill before the sun comes up. What will you do?
Vriska: Retrieve arms
I made my own character sprites and backgrounds too! 8D
My goal is to use all of my own art. No re-editing Hussie's work. I am going for 100% original here. (not counting images I got off Google, like movie posters)

Two worlds apart within one planet
- Posted on Monday 28 February 2011 - 10:47Frazer Potani, AfricaNews reporter in Lilongwe, Malawi Photo: Elles van GelderThe couple and their two children are based in Lamberth, United Kingdom (UK). In short they have a comfortable home filled with all necessary modern household items including four cars for use. They always have a nutritious breakfast, lunch and supper. They also have access to safe drinking water. When they fall sick, they get first class medical treatment.Their children Jane, 18 and George, 15 are studying Law and Accountancy at Oxford University and North West London College respectively. Just recently, the man and his wife also bought five trucks that operate between the town of Reading and London in their country.
Their life is a paradise of prosperity on earth because they have a joint bank account, a cool $300,000 (about K45 million), and a farm with 100 dairy cows in Norwich in their country.
They arrived in Lilongwe about two weeks ago after leaving their flat in Lamberth about 20 Km from London to spend their holiday here.
Every year they travel to any corner of their choice on the globe to spend a holiday. In fact last year they spent their holiday in Mauritius.
Yes! This is a profile of Osborne Williams,55, and his wife Monica, 56, in gray swimming suits, sitting on chairs relaxing at Capital Hotel's pool side in Lilongwe as they take sips of whisky and fruit juice from their glasses.
But at Kauma, a slum just less than 2 Km from where Osborne and Monica are relaxing, Daudi Sumaili, 39 and his wife Patuma, 37 live in a hell of poverty with their six children Amadu, 19, Abdul 18, Hajra, 16, Mariamu, 14, Twaibu, 13 and Saidi, 11 in a one-bedroom grass-thatched shack they call home.
Sumaili is the sole breadwinner for his family. He works as a watchman at one of the tobacco processing firms at Kanengo Industrial site in Lilongwe where he gets K9, 000 (about $60) per month.
School fees
The Sumailis draw water from a nearby polluted Lilongwe River. Amadu, abdul, Mariamu all dropped out of school because their father could not afford to pay school fees for them at a secondary school in Lilongwe. Only Twaibu and Saidi go to a nearby primary school on empty stomachs taking advantage of the Free Primary Education introduced by Malawi Government since 1994.
Since the family's total monthly income is a mere K9, 000 each family member spends K37.50 (or 0.25 Cents) per day!
Therefore, when a family member falls sick the already little money that could be used for buying maize flour for nsima and relish for the family goes into a local grocer's cash box for drugs to restore his/her health.
Despite world leaders holding summits where they dine and wine while exchanging jokes as they work out answers that would close the yawning gaps between the rich like the Williams of UK and the poor like the Sumailis of Malawi, the rich continue getting richer, while the poor getting poorer therefore living in two worlds apart [of prosperity and poverty] within the same planet.
A high ranking economic think tank in the Ministry of Economic Planning and Development Ben Botolo however, said Malawi was winning the war against poverty.
"As a government we have made quite tremendous achievements in the fight against poverty to close the gap between the rich and the poor," he said adding that Malawi was moving towards a positive direction towards poverty reduction.
A study by the state controlled Zomba based National Statistical Office (NSO) backs Botolo saying more Malawians are getting wealthier with the number of poor people dropping from 40 percent in 2007 and 2008 to 39 percent in 2009.
Using the Welfare Monitoring Survey (WMS) method the NSO says this means that 61 percent of Malawi's over 13 million people live above the poverty line.
Below threshold
In WMS method NSO considers a household as poor if its annual per capita consumption expenditure is below a threshold.
The method however, does not tally with the universal system for measuring poverty of $1 minimum expenditure per head. But one of Malawi's economic analysts, Mabvuto Bamusi said it is difficult to fully detect actual poverty levels using the WMS method alone.
"The method has a narrow perspective and does not take into account some vital. The best instrument to the true picture of how deep-rooted the country's poverty is could be an Integrated Household Survey (IHS),"said Bamusi also national coordinator for Human Rights Consultative Committee (HRCC) an umbulera body of over 70 Civil Society [Non Governmental Organizations(NGOs)].
He added:"The problem with WMS is that it puts more emphasis on food availability at the household level while ignoring other important issues like employment creation, production and exports."
Agness Chipasula 42, from Kayembe Village in Dowa a rural settlement about 40 Km from Lilongwe concurred with Bamusi.
"I think conclusions that poverty levels have dropped in Malawi are on paper and not what is actually on the ground," she said.
Chipasula cited failure by most people in her village (herself included) to access safe clean water, buy pain killers like panadol from their health centre and pay K20 (0.13 Cents) for school contributions for primary school going children as clear evidences that poverty was still intact.
On her part Action Aid Malawi Deputy Board Chairperson Dorothy Nyasulu said poverty was still reigning supreme in Malawi.
"…and women are suffering more than men from the pains of poverty because they are less empowered at all levels than men," said Nyasulu adding that women tend to be forgotten.
She disclosed that one problem contributing to snail pace of women empowerment in Malawi was that there were some policy documents that were just written in line with promoting gender equality or participation but not put into practice.
The UNDP Human Development Report reveals that despite Malawi making some progress in development in some areas still has a long way to eradicate poverty because the country is in the group of Low Human Development Countries.
Information collected by economists in a research and documented by the World Bank point to the fact that fight against poverty remains a challenge on the globe as evidenced by the existence of the gap between the rich and the poor.
The information reveal in one research that a cow in Europe is able to spend $2.20 per day from a tax payer's pocket while 2.8 billion people in poor developing countries around the world spent less than $2 a day!
The economists further disclose that the richest 25 million Americans have an income equal to that of almost 2 billion people.
While assets of the world's three richest men even after the recent fall of stock markets are greater than combined income of the world's least developed countries.
They further disclose that the living standards of most people in poor developing countries worldwide rank bottom of the UN Human Development Index in general and even roughly equivalent to standards of those in the West 600 years ago!
No wonder every time groups of richest developed countries on the planet such as the G8, G20 meet anywhere worldwide, protesters are beamed on television screens across the globe demonstrating against the developed nations' failure to fulfill their promises they had made to allocate more aid to the poor developing world to improve the lives of people stuck in poverty.
While at OXFAM, Kevin Watkins said his organization then revealed that Western governments spent more money on military weapons than aid meant to reduce poverty in poor developing countries.
"They spend at least $ 800 billion a year on armaments yet for just 16 percent of what they currently spend on weapons, the world's poorest countries could meet the health and education targets agreed at the 1990 World Summit for Children: these would include giving all children a basic education, reducing child deaths by a third, and providing clean water supplies for everyone," he said then.
Watkins further said that governments in poor developing countries struggle to offset poverty levels because they spend more on repaying their debt to the World Bank and IMF and other rich developed governments, than they do on the health and education of their citizens.
Reduction in aid
He also disclosed that Western Governments have been reducing aid to poor developing countries and said for example on overall, between 1993 and 1994 the rich industrialized countries spent just 0.3 percent of their GNP in aid, the lowest level recorded for two decades.
Watkins also then disclosed that unfair trade cost countries about $50 billion a year in lost export earnings, roughly equivalent to the total flow of development aid to all poor developing countries from the richer developed nations that are making it impossible for them to export their goods.
He also said if poverty the gap between the rich and the poor is to be closed among other issues democracy should be fully implemented in the entire global village at all levels to allow people participate in development, corruption stumped out, government take responsibility for providing essential services such as health care and education.
"Governments should allocate at least 20 percent of all their spending to providing the services which poor people need most, including primary health care, primary education, clean water and sanitation, provide primary health care and basic education free of charge," said Watkins adding that all governments should also greatly reduce their spending on military weapons.
"Instead governments should invest in people rather than in death and destruction. Aid donors should also increase the percent of their country's wealth going on aid to poor countries. Rich developed countries should also remove all barriers on trade to poor developing countries," he said.
Watkins said unless the world starts narrowing the poverty gap millions of people face a bleak future.
"By 2005 the number of Africans living in poverty was estimated to have grown by nearly a third from 218 million to 300 million. By 2025 there could be as many as 1.5 billion people living in severe poverty," said Watkins.
He added that all too often, rising poverty gives rise to violent conflict, refugee crises, increased crime, and trade in narcotic drugs.
"All [these] problems that do not respect borders and from which the better off cannot insulate themselves," said Watkins.
Former South Africa's president Nelson Mandela concurred with Watkins.
He said unless all governments on the globe put measures in place to close the gap between the rich and poor global security would be under threat. Said Mandela: "Security for the few is insecurity for all."

SydneyThe income divide between rich and poor countries is certainly cause for alarm. I was astonished that a cow can spend more taxpayers money in a developed country than what a person in Africa can spend in a day. Such statistics are startling. As we grapple with which modern luxury to indulge on holidays, those living below the poverty line are struggling with live and death situations on a daily basis.Richard Greaves - Posted on Thursday 05 April 2012 04:15

CirencesterThat is the reason why I try to avoid staying in hotels when I visit a place. I try to stay in a hostel or backpacker's inn that is close to where the locals are. That is where I get to see as much of reality and how life is really like at the place.

Lid sinds January 2013When it comes to accessories, have you ever thought about wearing a glove-shaped coin purse necklace around your neck? Donning a turban to protect your head coach handbags outlet from the louis vuitton outlet online fall chill? Or hanging a cat sweater casually over your handbag? No? Me neither. But this week's round of personal style bloggers made just these bold choices for coach outlet online their accessories, and they all look amazing!Caillianne worked a Maison Martin Margiela at H&M (launching next week on Nov. 15!) glove necklace and a vintage turban into a killer black-and-white ensemble that balanced chic on top with sporty on the bottom. The Beckerman clan can always be counted on for creative ways to accessorize.
There are tons of animal sweaters these days that are super www.louisvuittonpursebag.com cute and not at all kitsch (though I personally enjoy kitschy sweaters), and Alyssa shows us a fun way of wearing one – without actually wearing it. Hanging a sweater over your handbag is a genius solution because then you can have two amazing tops on you rather than just one (this would be the opposite of 'less is more' but would achieve the same effect – a brilliant outfit)!As if the 60+ shots we posted yesterday of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012-2013 edition weren't titillating enough, here's coach bags outlet a little something for coach outlet those of you who are more interested in footwear than in heavily-embellished bras and panties: Nicholas Kirkwood custom-designed each pair of shoes in the Coach Factory Online runway show. The London-based shoe designer's signature platforms and sculpted heels adorned the feet of the likes of VS Angels Alessandra Ambrosia, Miranda Kerr and Adriana Lima when the show coach purses outlet taped earlier this week.
Take a peek at the gallery below for a closer look at Kirkwood's designs. Dying for a pair? All you needed was a pair of Angel wings to get your hands on one.At the H&M Spring 2013 preview this week, a bohemian style for coach outlet store online the 21st century translated into sporty and relaxed shapes embellished with tassels (one can never have too many), fringes, and embossed details.
The fresh sun-bleached and coach outlet online neutral tones of the collection are highlighted in the gray denim jacket with quilted shoulders and Louis Vuitton Purses gorgeous brocade print blouse and matching shorts, while vibrant reds and oranges embolden the tassel skirt with embellished waist and the coach factory outlet online statement brocade jacket. There are so many great pieces in this spring collection, but the standouts for me are the black embossed leather jacket and the studded white denim vest. Can't you just imagine these on the lead singer of a band who gets asked to play at fashion shows in New York or Paris?The accessories in the collection are just as stellar. I'm loving the tassel handbags, the metal toecap cowboy ankle boots, and the pineapple earrings. It is an undeniable fact that pineapples make better sartorial motifs than any other fruit (bananas are a close second). If you agree, you'll be happy to know that there is also a cute bracelet with pineapple charms and a shirt with the fruit printed on it. Tassels, pineapples, brocade…it's not even winter yet, but I'm ready for spring.

Foodborne Illness & Disease
/ Foodborne Illness Peaks in Summer
Foodborne Illness Peaks in Summer - Why?
Year after year, we hear and read the same advice: Handle food carefully in the summer because foodborne illness — also known as "food poisoning" — is more prevalent in warmer weather. Do foodborne illnesses increase during the summer months? If so, why?
Yes, foodborne illnesses do increase during the summer, and the answer appears to be twofold. First, there are the natural causes. Bacteria are present throughout the environment in soil, air, water, and in the bodies of people and animals. These microorganisms grow faster in the warm summer months. Most foodborne bacteria grow fastest at temperatures from 90 to 110 °F. Bacteria also need moisture to flourish, and summer weather is often hot and humid.
Given the right circumstances, harmful bacteria can quickly multiply on food to large numbers. When this happens, someone eating the food can get sick.
Second, outside activities increase. More people are cooking outside at picnics, barbecues, and on camping trips. The safety controls that a kitchen provides — thermostat-controlled cooking, refrigeration, and washing facilities — are usually not available.
Fortunately, people seldom get sick from contaminated food because most people have a healthy immune system that protects them not only from harmful bacteria on food, but from other harmful organisms in the environment. At the same time, FSIS, other government agencies, and food producers go to great lengths to keep food safe. And, of course, consumers can protect themselves at home with proper refrigeration and thorough cooking of perishable food.
We know foodborne illness increases in warm weather. We also know that consumers can Fight BAC!® by following these four simple steps to safer food in the summertime.
Top of Page
Clean: Wash Hands and Surfaces Often.
Unwashed hands are a prime cause of foodborne illness.
Wash your hands with warm, soapy water before handling food and after using the bathroom, changing diapers, and handling pets.
When eating away from home, find out if there's a source of potable (safe drinking) water. If not, bring water for preparation and cleaning. Or pack clean, wet, disposable washcloths or moist towelettes and paper towels for cleaning hands and surfaces.
Top of Page
Separate: Don't Cross-Contaminate.
Cross-contamination during preparation, grilling, and serving food is a prime cause of foodborne illness.
When packing the cooler chest for an outing, wrap raw meats securely; avoid raw meat juices from coming in contact with ready-to-eat food.
Wash plates, utensils, and cutting boards that held the raw meat or poultry before using again for cooked food.
Top of Page
Cook: Cook to Safe Temperatures.
Food safety experts agree that food is safely cooked when it is heated for a long enough time and at a high enough temperature to kill harmful bacteria that cause foodborne illness.
Take your food thermometer along. Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside, so be sure that meats are cooked thoroughly. Check them with a food thermometer.
Cook all raw beef, pork, lamb and veal steaks, chops, and roasts to a minimum internal temperature of 145 °F as measured with a food thermometer before removing meat from the heat source. For safety and quality, allow meat to rest for at least three minutes before carving or consuming. For reasons of personal preference, consumers may choose to cook meat to higher temperatures.
Cook all raw ground beef, pork, lamb, and veal to an internal temperature of 160 °F as measured with a food thermometer.
Cook all poultry to a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F as measured with a food thermometer.
Cook meat and poultry completely at the picnic site. Partial cooking of food ahead of time allows bacteria to survive and multiply to the point that subsequent cooking cannot destroy them.
Top of Page
Chill: Refrigerate Promptly.
Holding food at an unsafe temperature is a prime cause of foodborne illness. Keep cold food cold!
Cold refrigerated perishable food like luncheon meats, cooked meats, chicken, and potato or pasta salads should be kept in an insulated cooler packed with several inches of ice, ice packs, or containers of frozen water.
Consider packing canned beverages in one cooler and perishable food in another cooler because the beverage cooler will probably be opened frequently.
Keep the cooler in the coolest part of the car, and place in the shade or shelter, out of the sun, whenever possible.
Preserve the cold temperature of the cooler by replenishing the ice as soon as it starts melting.
If a cooler chest is not an option, consider taking fruits, vegetables, hard cheeses, canned or dried meats, dried cereal, bread, peanut butter, crackers, and a bottle of refreshing beverage.
Take-out food: If you don't plan to eat take-out food within 2 hours of purchase, plan ahead and chill the food in your refrigerator before packing for your outing.
Top of Page
Food left out of refrigeration for more than 2 hours may not be safe to eat. Above 90 °F, food should not be left out over 1 hour. Play it safe; put leftover perishables back on ice once you finish eating so they do not spoil or become unsafe to eat.
If you have any doubts, throw it out.
