Reigning champion Panathinaikos blew a 17-point lead, but came back from a 4-point deficit with 15 seconds left to beat Unicaja Malaga 76-77 in a crucial road victory in Group B. Reigning Euroleague MVP Dimitris Diamantidis nailed 2 of his 7 three-pointers in the final 15 seconds to bring his team back from an apparent defeat with 23 points. Steven Smith and Romain Sato each scored 13 points as Panathinaikos improved to 4-2 in the group and avoided losing a third straight game. Luka Zoric helped Unicaja come back from a big hole with 21 points while Tremmell Darden scored 13 points and Kristaps Valters added 11 points. Unicaja's leading scorer Joel Freeland came into the game averaging 13.6 points, but was held to just 1 point and 3 rebounds as he struggled with foul trouble. Unicaja dropped to 3-3 in the group with the loss.
Sato opened scoring with a jumper for Panathinaikos with Darden answered with a triple. Panathinaikos however started shooting from long range with Smith, Sato and Diamantidis nailing three-balls and Smith threw down a dunk for a 5-13 lead. Unicaja managed back-to-back baskets against the tough Panathinaikos defense to pull within 9-13. The reigning champs got Mike Batiste into the game with two baskets inside and Sato's baseline jumper pushed the margin to 10 points – 9-19 and a Malaga timeout. The host side responded with a triple from Gerald Fitch but the Unicaja defense could not slow the Panathinaikos offense with Smith dunking over Nedzad Sinanovic for a three-point play and David Logan hitting a tough layup as the gap increased to 13-27. Sinanovic's jump hook and two foul shots by Darden trimmed the deficit to 17-27 after one quarter.
Ian Vougioukas got the scoring going for Panathinaikos with an inside layup which was followed by a jumper by Logan and a long three-pointer by Diamantidis with the shot clock winding down for a 17-point cushion - 17-34. Hrvoje Peric finally scored for Unicaja after more than two minutes into the second quarter. And a jumper by Paul Blanco and a put-back by Jorge Garbajosa trimmed the margin to 23-35. Diamantidis and Valters swapped triples before Freeland left the game scoreless with three fouls with more than five minutes left in the first half. Zoric helped picked up Malaga's game with a jumper and reverse layup before Blanco's fast break layup brought the home team within 32-40. Panathinaikos coach Zeljko Obradovic wanted to talk to his men and Diamantidis nailed his fourth triple of the first half for a 32-43 lead. But the Unicaja run continued with six of six free throws by Zoric, Blanco and Garbajosa and a Zoric jumper in the lane before Valters' three-pointer from the center circle off the backboard brought Unicaja within 43-45 at the break.
Zoric knotted the game with a jumper to make it 45-45 to open the second half. Diamantidis would not stand and watch, nailing a triple for Panathinaikos only to see Garbajosa answer right back with a three-ball for a 48-48 game. But Sato's off-balance jumper was followed by a jumpshot by Sarunas Jasikevicius and an inside lay-in by Batiste for a 48-54 Panathinaikos advantage and a Unicaja timeout. Zoric split two free throws and which allowed Jasikevicius to increase the margin back to seven points, 51-58. The host side battled back on defense with a Fitch jumper and 4 foul shots by Darden and Valters and Unicaja trailed just 57-58 after three quarters.
Batiste's basket began the scoring in the fourth before Freeland's free throw with 9:16 left for his only point of the game. And then Darden grabbed a steal and tipped in a rebound to even the game again at 60-60. Smith however nailed a three-ball to keep Panathinaikos ahead 60-63. Garbajosa hit a turnaround jumper and then Zoric dunked over Aleks Maric to knot the game yet again 64-64. Logan made one free throw to push Panathinaikos back ahead by one and Unicaja missed five chances to take the lead and Vougioukas made two foul shots for a 64-67 lead. Following a Darden jumper, Berni Rodriguez made two free throws for a 68-67 Malaga lead – its first since it was 3-2. After Diamantidis and Zoric swapped a pair of free throws, Kostas Kaimakoglou missed a triple and Zoric nailed a jumper for a 72-69 lead with 1:17 to play. Vougioukas tipped in a rebound and blocked a shot at the other end. But Diamantidis missed a lay-up and Valters nailed a three-pointer with 15.4 seconds left for a 75-71 Unicaja lead. Diamantidis answered with a three of his own with 11.1 seconds and then Darden split two free throws for a 76-74 lead with 9.6 seconds left. Diamantidis continued his unbelievable shooting night with another triple with 1.3 seconds remaining from the left wing for a 76-77 advantage. And Unicaja could not get a shot off in the waning seconds.

"I am sad but only because of the ending. We had the win in our hands and lost because of two shots of the great Dimitris Diamantidis. It hurts. However, I can take some positive things from this game. It is a team to be proud of. It fights, works and gives it all to the maximum. My players defend with heart despite not being especially great defenders. We managed to stay at the same level as the European champ. I am proud of this team."
OBRADOVIC, ZELJKO
"I want to congratulate my players for this very important win, but also Unicaja for their excellent game. We win the games with strategy, but without the wrist of Dimitris Diamantidis this would not be possible. He's a great kid. My players need to understand that we need everyone to give their maximum if we want to compete in the Euroleague. We deserved to win, but so did Unicaja. It was an exciting game."

When I was a student at Wharton, I knew that the green costs of living should be tax deductible. Ever since, I have been evaluating the requirement to have this practise applied as a vital one to survive.
The ecological crises became apparent in the sixties. That they kept on worsening increased my conviction that I had to continue trying to have the consumer remunerated for his Nature respecting purchases.
While thinking how to prove scientifically the necessity for such compensations, I founded three new concepts in the science of economy. They form the base of the prerequisite to recognise that the consumer has a professional responsibility in the operation of the economy, namely, to ensure a development of the economy that continues to meander between the ever green boundaries of Nature. Only the consumer can ensure such a development because he can do it by adapting his ways of living, I realised.
for this and following generations.
* "Something exists more powerful than all the armies of the world, it is an idea which' hour has come".
"Practises that make sustainable development a reality"
"Goal Hitting Management of the Costs of Living" and "The Natural Responsibility of the Consumer for Nature & the Maintenance of the Integrity of Human Nature" were both published with the DB logo in Environment in Europe Newsletter 95/3, by CEEWEB (Central & East European Working Group for the Enhancement of Bio-diversity) as part of a joint campaign with EURONATURE for the "Environment in Europe" project", and supported under the European Union Commission's DG XI, Miscolc, Hungary, 1995.
1st IIPT European Conference, Bridging the North-South Divide through Sustainable Tourism Development, 21-24 October 2008, Leeuwarden, The Netherlands Presented the paper: "Invitation to participate in the development of tourism that ensures sustainable development in a measurable way" It was dealt with under the topic, Strategies and measures towards responsible tourism.
Citizen's Parliament Sustainable Consumption, organised by the Brussels Institute for the Environment, the Consumer Organisations Research and Information Centre and the Association of Cities and Regions for Recycling, Brussels, Belgium, March 14 and 15, 2003. Participated in the workshops in preparation of the Parliament and presented the proposal to test to what extent consumers will change their way of living if they can deduct from their taxable income the money they spent on ecological products.
Euro Environment 2002, Aalborg, Denmark, October 21 to 23, 2002, presented the paper : "The demand of consumers for ecological products as a prerequisite for businesses to become the agent of global sustainability".
Tax-breaks for environmental spending ? Well, why not ???
The free-market economy is a siren, a siren whose song lures the consumer into using up more and more goods forever. Such a goal and the financial ability to strive for it threaten the very life of the planet.
Can the consumer's buying habits be changed, and thereby, the world's economy? Some of the world's Earth-oriented scholars have dreams about that.
Such a scholar is Wim A. de Bruyn, the founder of 'ZERO', an association of consumers hoping to maintain the integrity of the Earth's resources by using their incomes ecologically. This Dutch-born resident of Belgium believes that everyone can learn to live ecologically, especially if there are tangible benefits. The benefits de Bruyn envisions are basic: consumers should be able to deduct from their taxable income the money they spend on ecological products.
For example, business might change over to energy-efficient processes; pressured, perhaps, by consumers who want to retrofit their homes for reduced energy consumption.
"At a certain moment, it would be evident that the capacity of the consumer to deduct costs of living with ecological products from taxable income effectively opens a way of living in harmony with nature." de Bruyn has said.
In de Bruyn's opinion, palpable, immediate tax advantages to consumers will encourage them to search for goods and services that do not "fly in the face" of Nature. He believes that the value of this new environmental approach can assure income for the foreseeable future through longer-lasting natural resources.
A combination of personal and financial forces will, he hopes, bring consumers into an ecologically-oriented version of the free market economy. De Bruyn foresees that this bond can lead to "the demand from billions of consumers in the industrialized countries for ecologically sound goods and services... creating a competitive force to improve the ecological quality of these goods and services [in the free market economy]. The industrialized world would co-operate with the non-industrialized world, to develop ecological industry, to satisfy this demand."
Such idealism may stagger some jaded environmentalists, but others find de Bruyn's views restorative.
It is time for this change, some have said.
General populations, in fact, are alarmed at the upsurge and growing severity and drug-resistance of human disease; of impurities in food, air and water; of over-use of pesticides and herbicides; and of the reduced fertility of sperm in men and livestock due to pollution.
"People are particularly scared because the number of these problems increases in spite of any government measures," de Bruyn observed. They may, therefore, be ready for new approaches. They may even be ready, he hopes, to chivvy their governments into the new ways.
Simplifying for the average citizen, we asked de Bruyn whether the costs of environmental living; i.e. the costs of special purchasing for food, fuel, home-building, etc. are comparable to the buying of office supplies, paying of office rent, licensing of a business... and should be claimed as tax write-offs?
"Indeed," de Bruyn replied, "Both classes of costs are comparable, because they both assure income. Costs of production assure income in the short term, costs of living with ecological products in the long term. The costs of living should therefore be managed in the way that the costs of production are managed; as income-assuring and therefore tax-deductible costs."
De Bruyn has consulted Belgian tax lawyers about the chance of his idea's taking on reality. Belgian tax law requires that there be a positive correlation between costs and revenues to allow deduction of costs from revenues. For example, costs have to have been undertaken in order to assure revenues.
Said de Bruyn: "A lawyer wrote me that I had established this relationship in my theory, and that he would be willing to defend our cause. My tax controller told me that he would pass on my file rapidly, because he agrees with my theory.... Without wide public support, the process will take more than a lifetime. You understand when you know the Belgian judicial system."
De Bruyn is working with representatives of other governments and private organizations on experimental projects to prove his principles. One involves creation of a special economic zone in Bahia, Brazil. De Bruyn is in frequent touch with Durval Olivieri, civil engineer and Special Advisor to the State Secretariat for Planning, Science, Technology and Environment, Government of Bahia, Brazil. Olivieri speaks highly of de Bruyn's ideas.
In a brief online interview with Ecotopics, Olivieri said, "I do think that a sound tax policy can foster better environmental practices, ranging from land tenure, use and occupation and preservation, besides a leaner resource consumption, with direct results in waste and pollution management.
"There is also a good chance to improve institutional public governance, " he added, "by taking taxes from one area and feeding the same amount into other areas. For example, the states can pass revenues on to municipalities that present adequate conservation projects, or give incentives in support of private conservation initiatives."
In Brazil, the federal law has not yet foreseen the use of major tax incentives for environmental preservation, Olivieri told us.
"Wim´s ideas, we feel, are good ideas. I am hopeful more sensible people of the world will soon see them as right and opportune," the Brazilian official said. "Some of his ideas could be passed on to development agencies to be further studied and implemented."
One of de Bruyn's world-spanning associates is Mohamed Trad, ZERO's Representative for Australia and Lebanon. Trad is a postgraduate student and researcher at the University of Adelaide's School of Ecology at the Roseworthy Campus.
Trad interpreted for Ecotopics the Islamic trade concept called 'muraabaha', a projection of reasonable profits.
"The Muraabaha concept is an Islamic concept of trade," said Mohamed Trad, "In simple words, the consumer should know the initial 'capital' of the product (the price which the merchant got it for), and he should be satisfied by the amount of gain the merchant is trying to get from him." Islam, he adds, disapproves of the charging of interest.
One of de Bruyn's proposals is a "race" pitting product-laden vessels in a market competition. "The race" is designed to test the feasibility of establishing a gainfully-operating ecological transport activity, in the free-market economy. (This rather like the intense tea-clipper races of the last century, though for a different purpose).
Wim de Bruyn, has been dedicated to his project to the extent that he defines himself professionally as "founder of ZERO." His attainments actually encompass economics, business administration, accounting, and information management as well as hydrology, and philosophy. All these have made it possible for him to lay his principles before governments and organizations around the world as well as to individuals.
He graduated with an MBA from the Wharton School of Business, Philadelphia, PA, was a Fulbright exchange student at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio; took a degree in economics and languages from the College for International Commerce, -- "Nijenrode" -- the Netherlands, and a Postgraduate degree in hydrology at the University of Brussels, Belgium.
Wim de Bruyn made significant contributions to the Fifth World Congress on Water Resources of the International Water Resources Association, Ottawa, Canada 1988. Secretary of the Conference Committee, he organized the Fifth World Congress on Water Resources of the International Water Resources Association, held in Brussels in 1985. With another committee member, de Bruyn developed an analysis of humanity's impact on natural resources, based upon the Congress' conclusions. The full Report was published in "Water International." His audio visual presentation with a model that determines humanity's impact on natural resources was presented at the opening session of IWRA's Sixth World Congress on Water Resources, Ottawa, Canada 1988.
Political and sociological organizations harbor views which are close to de Bruyn's own. According to Adam Berg, member of the Coordinating Committee of the Green Parties, said to Ecotopics that "In a roundabout way we do believe in tax credits to companies which demonstrate more eco-friendly behavior. However, it wouldn't be a tax credit per se; we believe in true-cost taxation to account for environmental and social costs of products and services. So, in our ideal world, everyone who displays environmentally and socially irresponsible behavior would be taxed, and those who don't display that behavior wouldn't be subject to those taxes (because they're not causing the problem).
"The Earth and its natural systems cannot be owned; they are to be respected and cared for in accordance with ecological principles. Concepts of ownership are provisional and temporary, to be employed in the sense of stewardship and of social and ecological responsibility.
The Greens' ultimate goal, Berg added, is "to align our economic systems with natural ecologies in a sustainable way that does not ultimately degrade or deplete the Earth; to supply an ecologically sustainable level of food, shelter, health services, and education to meet the basic economic needs of each person on the planet."
The endless-growth scenario, which de Bruyn also sees as a problem leading inevitably to endless depletion of earthly resources, is found in the considerations of many others who examine the problem.
The Green Parties are not alone in viewing the tax picture in terms of punishing the wrong-doers. De Bruyn, on the other hand, prefers the possibilities of making the role of the environmental "Good Guys" attractive.
Within fifty years, in many informed opinions, humans who are now spared the dangers of bad air, water, soil and environmentally-caused poverty, will be forced into leaner public policies toward the environment to spare the planet from serious further depletion.
The reduction of waste is strongly visible both in time and in human efforts and resources. The gains have put the concepts of quality and environmentally-responsible management hand in hand toward a more sustainable life cycle.
And this will be good for all living beings.

Last week I discussed child support arguments from the payer's perspective. But what about the struggling parent who is charged with caring for the child and providing financially? What about daycare and medical care? Am I entitled to help with ball shoes, or clothes, or fees for extracurricular activities?
If you don't know the earnings of the other party, put in an estimate. Use the Gross, before-tax monthly income in the calculator, not the net. The program will account for the taxes, and if you enter an after-tax amount you will not get an accurate child support calculation.
But what about those little extras? Child care? Clothing? Extracurricular activities?
The basic child support number is meant to include ordinary child-rearing expenses such as housing, clothing, food and etc. So if you go before the court arguing that dad has not bought a new pair of shoes for a year, know that it probably won't matter.
Whenever the law uses the word "shall," it means that what follows is mandatory. The court must award these costs against both parents. You can expect, in most cases, to receive a mandatory reimbursement of half of child care costs related to employment or necessary education, and half of uncovered medical. The court does have the discretion to apportion the costs between the parents, but the usual apportionment of mandatory additional support is 50-50.
The word "may" means that the court can award them, but it doesn't have to. But it doesn't hurt to ask.
Generally, the court will award such educationally-related costs if they are "extraordinary," that is, over and above the normal educational expenses. They can include ball fees for that student that's athletically gifted. They could include a tutor for that student struggling with Attention Deficit Disorder or high-functioning autism.
It's important to understand that both parents have a legal duty to financially support their children. The court can impute income to a party that refuses to work or would rather live on a park bench than pay his/her support.


Nebraska ranks second among the States with respect to the area of irrigated acreage and the quantity of water used for irrigation. The irrigation water is derived from extensive supply systems that use both surface water and ground water (Figure N-1). Hydrologic conditions in different parts of Nebraska provide a number of examples of the broad-scale effects of irrigation development on the interactions of ground water and surface water. As would be expected, irrigation systems based on surface water are always located near streams. In general, these streams are perennial and (or) have significant flow for at least part of the year. In contrast, irrigation systems based on ground water can be located nearly anywhere that has an adequate ground-water resource. Areas of significant rise and decline in ground-water levels due to irrigation systems are shown in Figure N-2. Ground-water levels rise in some areas irrigated with surface water and decline in some areas irrigated with ground water. Rises in ground-water levels near streams result in increased ground-water inflow to gaining streams or decreased flow from the stream to ground water for losing streams. In some areas, it is possible that a stream that was losing water before development of irrigation could become a gaining stream following irrigation. This effect of surface-water irrigation probably caused the rises in ground-water levels in areas F and G in south-central Nebraska (Figure N-2).
Average annual precipitation ranges from less than 15 inches in western Nebraska to more than 30 inches in eastern Nebraska. A large concentration of irrigation wells is present in area E (Figure N-2). The ground-water withdrawals by these wells caused declines in ground-water levels that could not be offset by recharge from precipitation and the presence of nearby flowing streams. In this area, the withdrawals cause decreases in ground-water discharge to the streams and (or) induce flow from the streams to shallow ground water. In contrast, the density of irrigation wells in areas A, B, and C is less than in area E, but water-level declines in these three western areas are similar to area E. The similar decline caused by fewer wells in the west compared to the east is related to less precipitation, less ground-water recharge, and less streamflow available for seepage to ground water.

Just thinking out loud here. Not that everything is going to happen, but when you look at a map you tend to have an idea as to where something is headed. The characters involved in the film tend to give you a hint as to where the story takes you. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje being cast as Algrim, a powerful Dark Elf that eventually becomes the character Kurse, kind of tells you what will happen. Let us explore the possibilities, shall we?
Malekith manipulates Algrim into fighting Thor, and ultimately becomes a character called Kurse, but in the end he realizes that his real enemy is Malekith. I won't bring into this equation that the Beyonder turns him into Kurse, since that would mean he would be in this sequel - I doubt that will happen.
But with recent news that Kat Dennings will be returning along with Natalie Portman, we know that some part of the real world will make it into this film. So what you can imagine is Portman and Kat's characters will probably get drawn into another realm: the Dark World, the world of the Dark Elves, known as Svartálfar.
This will likely be some trick that Malekith is using to capture Thor. His weakness for humans, and for Jane Foster specifically is the reason she's used for bait. Algrim will be used as a tool to kill Thor and at some point he'll be turned into Kurse to help finish his mission. And as always, Malekith will likely be trying to either take control of his world, or less likely Asgard. To do this, he's going to need some form of power (Casket of Ancient Winters, anyone?) and naturally, someone will be there to give him the tool to achieve his goal. Of course, there will be a price for that power. That price is the death of Thor. Now who would want that? Loki, naturally.
Is this right? Could this be the plot line for the script for "Thor: The Dark World"? Probably. But until we see a trailer it's all speculation and theory. But based on the casting, it has some merit. Each day a page turns, each month another chapter is revealed. And slowly, this dark world gets a little lighter. Now, this brings into speculation another part of Marvel's Nordic mythology that one wonders could be part of this film. Will this story lead up to Surtur for the third film, because that would be truly epic.
Sounds pretty much like where they're going, Honor!
Seems about right, thing is, Malekith stealing the casket of ancient winters was the plot of an episode of that Avengers: earth's mightiest heroes animated series, I believe. Plot sounds about right, but I'd only be puzzled if they go for the casket part.
Maybe he's going for the Infinity Gauntlet?


Solvang resident James Sparks learned to bake bread from the best: his mother, Kaye.
"I assisted my mother at her bakery in Idaho where I grew up. I was probably about 12 or 14 years old, maybe younger. We had milk cows and a bakery because I grew up on a farm," Sparks told the Sun in a recent interview.
But bread isn't the only thing Sparks knows how to make. For his day job, Sparks is the assistant winemaker at Dragonette Cellars in Buellton. The day the Sun showed up to talk to Sparks about his new baking venture, he and the other Dragonette employees were "waxing" the bottles (putting the wax seals on the corks).
"I have to be creative, and I have to be creating," Sparks said.
That's why, in addition to making wine, he's started baking and selling bread products—including bagels, loaves, and more—out of his home kitchen. Enacted on Jan. 1 of this year, the Cottage Foods Act allows Californians to prepare and package select commercial food products in their homes.
Sparks launched his "cottage food" business—Another Bread Company, A Sparks Brothers Bakery—earlier this month. The one-man baking operation currently offers handmade, artisan loaves and New York-style bagels to Santa Ynez Valley residents and visitors. Bread connoisseurs can pre-order items for either delivery or pick-up, and there's also a monthly bread club subscription service. Sparks said he eventually plans to add other baked goods to his repertoire, but right now, he's sticking with the basics.
He uses a bread base, or starter, of 50 percent white and 50 percent whole-wheat organic flour, fresh water, and wild yeast from the surrounding air. After giving the starter time to grow, Sparks adds in more flour and water and a pinch of salt. If he's making a specialty loaf, he adds a few simple ingredients, such as rosemary, thyme, or local olives. Then he lets the dough set for several hours before putting it in the oven to bake.
"I'm basically creating bread that I love to eat on a regular basis," Sparks said, adding that his favorite bread to make and eat is the country loaf.
Naturally, those flavors complement the flavors of wine, so Sparks has been offering his bread to visitors of the Dragonette tasting room.
If everything goes according to plan, Sparks said he'd like to find a commercial kitchen with an oven that's big and hot enough to bake more complicated breads, like croissants, pastries, and baguettes.
Those who would like to sample Sparks' baked goods can place orders for loaves and bagels through the Another Bread Company website, anotherbreadcompany.com.
People living outside of the Santa Ynez Valley can make inquiries by calling 1-877-327-2656 or by e-mailing info@anotherbreadcompany.com.

French Polynesia Economy Stats
Since 1962, when France stationed military personnel in the region, French Polynesia has changed from a subsistence agricultural economy to one in which a high proportion of the work force is either employed by the military or supports the tourist industry. With the halt of French nuclear testing in 1996, the military contribution to the economy fell sharply. Tourism accounts for about one-fourth of GDP and is a primary source of hard currency earnings. Other sources of income are pearl farming and deep-sea commercial fishing. The small manufacturing sector primarily processes agricultural products. The territory benefits substantially from development agreements with France aimed principally at creating new businesses and strengthening social services.
Budget > Revenues: Revenues calculated on an exchange rate basis, i.e., not in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms
Budget surplus > + or deficit > -: This entry records the difference between national government revenues and expenditures, expressed as a percent of GDP. A positive (+) number indicates that revenues exceeded expenditures (a budget surplus), while a negative (-) number indicates the reverse (a budget deficit). Normalizing the data, by dividing the budget balance by GDP, enables easy comparisons across countries and indicates whether a national government saves or borrows money. Countries with high budget deficits (relative to their GDPs) generally have more difficulty raising funds to finance expenditures, than those with lower deficits.
Exports: This entry provides the total US dollar amount of merchandise exports on an f.o.b. (free on board) basis. These figures are calculated on an exchange rate basis, i.e., not in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms.
Exports per capita: This entry provides the total US dollar amount of merchandise exports on an f.o.b. (free on board) basis. These figures are calculated on an exchange rate basis, i.e., not in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms. Figures expressed per capita for the same year.
GDP: GDP at purchaser's prices is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. Data are in current U.S. dollars. Dollar figures for GDP are converted from domestic currencies using single year official exchange rates. For a few countries where the official exchange rate does not reflect the rate effectively applied to actual foreign exchange transactions, an alternative conversion factor is used.
GDP > Composition, by sector of origin > Services: This entry is derived from Economy > GDP > Composition, by sector of origin, which shows where production takes place in an economy. The distribution gives the percentage contribution of agriculture, industry, and services to total GDP, and will total 100 percent of GDP if the data are complete. Agriculture includes farming, fishing, and forestry. Industry includes mining, manufacturing, energy production, and construction. Services cover government activities, communications, transportation, finance, and all other private economic activities that do not produce material goods.
GDP > Per capita: This entry gives the gross domestic product (GDP) or value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a given year. A nation's GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates is the sum value of all goods and services produced in the country valued at prices prevailing in the United States. This is the measure most economists prefer when looking at per-capita welfare and when comparing living conditions or use of resources across countries. The measure is difficult to compute, as a US dollar value has to be assigned to all goods and services in the country regardless of whether these goods and services have a direct equivalent in the United States (for example, the value of an ox-cart or non-US military equipment); as a result, PPP estimates for some countries are based on a small and sometimes different set of goods and services. In addition, many countries do not formally participate in the World Bank's PPP project that calculates these measures, so the resulting GDP estimates for these countries may lack precision. For many developing countries, PPP-based GDP measures are multiples of the official exchange rate (OER) measure. The difference between the OER- and PPP-denominated GDP values for most of the weathly industrialized countries are generally much smaller. Per capita figures expressed per 1 population.
GDP > Per capita > PPP: This entry shows GDP on a purchasing power parity basis divided by population as of 1 July for the same year.

Gross National Income: GNI, Atlas method (current US$). GNI (formerly GNP) is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output plus net receipts of primary income (compensation of employees and prop).
Inflation rate > Consumer prices: This entry furnishes the annual percent change in consumer prices compared with the previous year's consumer prices.
Population below poverty line: National estimates of the percentage of the population lying below the poverty line are based on surveys of sub-groups, with the results weighted by the number of people in each group. Definitions of poverty vary considerably among nations. For example, rich nations generally employ more generous standards of poverty than poor nations.
Tourist arrivals > Per capita: International inbound tourists (overnight visitors) are the number of tourists who travel to a country other than that in which they have their usual residence, but outside their usual environment, for a period not exceeding 12 months and whose main purpose in visiting is other than an activity remunerated from within the country visited. When data on number of tourists are not available, the number of visitors, which includes tourists, same-day visitors, cruise passengers, and crew members, is shown instead. Sources and collection methods for arrivals differ across countries. In some cases data are from border statistics (police, immigration, and the like) and supplemented by border surveys. In other cases data are from tourism accommodation establishments. For some countries number of arrivals is limited to arrivals by air and for others to arrivals staying in hotels. Some countries include arrivals of nationals residing abroad while others do not. Caution should thus be used in comparing arrivals across countries. The data on inbound tourists refer to the number of arrivals, not to the number of people traveling. Thus a person who makes several trips to a country during a given period is counted each time as a new arrival." Per capita figures expressed per 1,000 population.
Unemployment rate: This entry contains the percent of the labor force that is without jobs. Substantial underemployment might be noted.

Sennett produced the Keystone Comedies of the silent era, which begot the KEYSTONE COPS, and additionally is credited with giving Charlie Chaplin his start in films on the West Coast. This package includes Sennett's 4 page will plus 4 additional pages of medical and funeral information and a claim by the Motion Picture Relief Fund. Death certificate included.


Many people would claim that they do not care for long goodbyes.
Any who consider themselves in that category will not want to learn that Greg Inglis, following off-season surgery to address a neck injury, declared that he will retire from rep rugby and say adios to NRL rugby at the end of the 2020 season.
That information is supplemented by the latest revelation that Inglis will miss the first two rounds of the 2019 Telstra NRL Premiership competition because he is 15 kilos over his playing weight.
He needs to shed one Aussie Thoroughbred jockey's worth of weight to get back to form.
Inglis will miss the open of the Rabbitohs defense of the 2018 premiership with the Roosters in mid-March and the next game with the Dragons the following week.
In the interim, it will be fewer trips to Maccas and a strict regimen in order to get to the proper fighting weight. Trust us, wasting is a sorry way of life and we dread it every time we open our mouths and stuff it with crisps, but our knees are not worth nearly what those of Inglis are worth.
The 32-year-old Inglis is also nursing a suspicious knee, which is acting up. He had knee reconstruction in 2017 and seemed to have that behind him, but knees do not keep track of time by clock or calendar.
Alex Johnston will handle Inglis' fullback duties for the short term, but the ominous portent of a player with multiple injuries and reaching that age where the daily message from the body is, "No more football," is not a good omen for a successful premiership defense.

2014 preview: Paralysed teen scores in Brazil
Technology 17 December 2013
Read more: "2014 preview: 10 ideas that will matter next year"
It will be quite some show of skill. The first kick of the 2014 Football World Cup in Brazil might not come from the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. Instead, if all goes to plan, a teenager paralysed from the waist down will use the world's most advanced mind-controlled exoskeleton to swing at the ball.
The spectacle will showcase the Walk Again Project, an international collaboration using technology to overcome paralysis. The team's exoskeleton supports the lower body and is controlled by patterns of brain activity detected by electrodes placed either on the scalp or within the brain itself. These signals are sent wirelessly to a computer worn by the wearer, that converts them into movements. The kicker will be one of a small group of people training in Brazil with a virtual exoskeleton before trying the real thing.
Movement alone isn't enough to make the experience of walking feel natural, so the team hopes to incorporate sensors into the exoskeleton that feed information about touch, temperature and force back to the wearer. That feedback will come through a visual display or a vibrating motor. Eventually these sensations could be transmitted straight to the brain, which would allow the wearer to truly feel that the exoskeleton is part of their body.
"The vibrations can replicate the sensation of touching the ground, rolling off the toe and kicking off again," says the lead robotic engineer Gordon Cheng, at the Technical University of Munich, Germany. The challenge will be to match those sensations to the brain patterns and movements. "There's so much detail in this, it's phenomenal," he says.

I have run into this a few times now and I keep forgetting how to fix it, so it is time to document the solution.
"These projects are either not supported or need project behavior impacting modifications to open in this version of Visual Studio. Projects not displayed either require no changes or will automatically be modified such that behavior is not impacted.
And my first reaction is What do you mean you don't support .csproj files. Those files were invented for you. If you don't recognize them who will?
So then I the scour the Interweb come up with a bunch of useless suggestions about how I should run Devenv.exe /ResetSkipPkgs or better still uninstall Visual Studio, turn off the computer, wait 30 seconds, turn it on again, install Visual Studio, etc.
The solution shown below is simpler and doesn't harm any humans in the process.
The solution to this madness is to install the Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012.
Open up the Web Platform Installer and if you don't have it installed download and install it. Search for Office Developer Tools and install it.

Who gives the judge all this information?
Your lawyer should collect all the information and give it to the judge. It is best if the information is written up in a report. But that may not always be possible. The most important thing is that the judge should be given all the information needed to apply Gladue.
In some parts of Ontario, but not all, there are special Gladue caseworkers who write reports about Aboriginal offenders for the courts. If you are in one of these places, a Gladue caseworker can write a report for your lawyer to give the judge. If there are no Gladue caseworkers, an Aboriginal courtworker can help with giving the information to the judge.
Sometimes the judge asks for a pre-sentence report. Most of the time, probation officers write pre-sentence reports. But they are usually not able to get the type of information that a judge needs to apply Gladue.

LCBO staff stop drunk driver from leaving lot
by XPolice | Sep 26, 2016 | News, Sudbury & Area
A Greater Sudbury senior may never drive again after driving drunk and being prevented from driving away by staff outside the downtown LCBO store in January.
"I have no excuses, your honor," Jean-Guy Savage, 64, told Ontario Court Justice Robert Main Wednesday just before he received a $1,200 fine and one-year licence suspension concerning an impaired driving conviction.
"Do you think you have a problem?," Main asked.
"I have more than one problem, actually," replied Savage.
"Have you tried to get some help?," continued the judge.
"I have had some treatment," said Savage. "Somebody told me it should stick..I am thinking of going back."
"I am sympathetic, if you have had an accident and are still suffering the effects of it," said Main. "But, you are drinking and driving, trying to get more (alcohol), you are two-and-a-half times the legal limit. You could have caused an accident and somebody else gets injured."
Savage had pleaded guilty to a charge of impaired driving.
The court heard Greater Sudbury Police received a call about 8:10 p.m. on Jan. 15 from a concerned motorist about a possible impaired driver in the downtown area. About 10 minutes later, LCBO staff at the Cedar Street store called to report a man had been refused service and was attempting to drive away in a 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer.
At about 8:25 p.m., officers arrived at the store and located the car and a man standing next to it. The man had mumbled his words and had difficulty keeping his balance. Officers learned store staff had prevented the man from driving.
The man then failed a roadside breath test and later produced Intoxilyzer readings of 204.
Defence lawyer Michael Macnamara said Savage did not try and drive his vehicle after exiting the store and co-operated with store staff.
Macnamara said Savage is currently working part-time. In 2013, Savage was involved in a serious car accident and now has post-traumatic stress disorder.
"Unfortunately, he does, at times, use alcohol to help him cope," said Macnamara. "It's unlikely Mr. Savage, on his limited income, will be able to afford insurance and renew his licence, and will not drive again."

Republicans release 120-page impeachment report repeating 'genuine and reasonable' Russian propaganda
David Edwards
A House Republican report on impeachment repeats Russian lines of propaganda that suggest Ukraine is to blame for interference in the 2016 election.
A copy of the report reviewed in advance by CBS News and The New York Times argues that there are "valid" reasons to believe that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election.
"The evidence shows that President Trump holds a deepseated, genuine, and reasonable skepticism of Ukraine due to its history of pervasive corruption," the report says, according to CBS News. "There is also nothing wrong with asking serious questions about the presence of Vice President Biden's son, Hunter Biden, on the board of directors of Burisma, a corrupt Ukrainian company, or about Ukraine's attempts to influence the 2016 presidential election."
"Publicly available — and irrefutable — evidence shows how senior Ukrainian government officials sought to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election in opposition to President Trump's candidacy, and that some in the Ukrainian embassy in Washington worked with a Democrat operative to achieve that goal," the document continues. "While Democrats reflexively dismiss these truths as conspiracy theories, the facts are indisputable and bear heavily on the Democrats' impeachment inquiry."
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) was called out by an impeachment witness for repeating similar Russia-friendly arguments last month.
"These fictions are harmful even if they are deployed for purely domestic political purposes," former national security aide Fiona Hill told a congressional committee.
The report also says that Republicans could not find evidence of corruption in President Donald Trump's decision to withhold aid from Ukraine.
"President Trump then released security assistance to Ukraine and met with President Zelensky in September 2019 — all without Ukraine taking any action to investigate President Trump's political rival," the report claims.

Vince Papale is 'Invincible' [Exclusive]
Vince Papale is Invincible [Exclusive]
Evan Jacobs
in DVD, Blu-ray Release Dates
Former Philadelphia Eagle discusses what it was like having a film made about his life.
If Vince Papale isn't living the American Dream than I don't know who is. For one lifetime, becoming a pro football player for the Philadelphia Eagles at the age of 30 would be enough of an accomplishment. Then to have Disney take your story and turn it into the major motion picture Invincible (starring Mark Wahlberg no less), one might start to wonder if they deserved such amazing good fortune.
One might start wondering... if they weren't Vince Papale.
With the movie now on DVD, we recently sat down with the subject of Invincible to discuss what it's like to have your dreams come true, seeing your life on the big screen and what he has coming up next.
What's it like to have your dreams come true the way that they have for you?
Vince Papale: How about startling, amazing, incredible, stupendous, overwhelming any hyperbole you could possibly imagine. I guess people would perceive the biggest dream is me having made the Philadelphia Eagles and having a movie made about me. Also, the same things happened when I met my wife and married her, and had the birth of my children; they're right up there with the big guys. It's pretty wild. Right now I'm living the dream. I'm not even sure when reality is ready to check in yet.
How did the project of Invincible come together?
Vince Papale: The NFL, 4 years ago, wanted to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Rocky. NFL Films, in conjunction with the NFL and ESPN... they put together a piece featuring me that had some references to Rocky, because we were both 30 year old guys. It was shown on November 25, 2002. Then the next day we were contacted by producers from all over the country, mostly Hollywood, about making my life story into a movie. We knew at that point that Disney had seen the piece and they had shown some interest in it, but they wanted some substance, they wanted a story.
So the producer, Ken Mok, from 10X10 Entertainment... he convinced a screenwriter by the name of Brad Gann to write a spec script. We put a spec script together, I optioned my life rights over to them, at tremendous cost to me, and that screenplay was purchased by Disney in October two years ago. One thing led to another, they gave us a greenlight and here it is we're two days into the release of the DVD. It happened fast.
What was it like being a consultant on the film?
Vince Papale: That was crazy, to have so much input into it. I did a lot of consulting especially from the football end of things, and I sat down with Mark Ellis from Real Sports, he shot the second unit. I spent a lot of time with him choreographing all the football action. Also, working with Mark Wahlberg, through his coach who they had for him. Making sure he understood how I played, how I caught the ball, some of the nuances he would want to pick up on. Things that would happen with that era of football.
One thing that people forget with Mark, he never put shoulder pads on before in his life. For somebody to have to try and catch a football, with shoulder pads on, that's not an easy thing, you have to get used to that; also, wearing a helmet, that's tough. Back in that day, we had to get in a three point stance, today the wide receivers don't get in the three point stance... so there were a lot of things that had to be taught with Mark and I had a big part in that. I feel pretty good about my contribution to the film, aside from the story of course.
Where there a lot of surreal moments being on a movie set about your life?
Vince Papale: I know it was surreal. The surreality was watching it be shown on the silver screen after it was finally shot. I didn't see any of the dailies, so I wouldn't have known. I saw a couple of clips of things that were shown during the day, but watching it unfold in front of you, live action, is so much different once all the sound and music is in and you see it up on the screen, you know? There were some scenes that were absolutely amazing to watch being done. A couple of them were the mud football scenes which were really cool, how they created the mud, how they created the rain. Also, watching the nutcracker scenes, those were one on one scenes where I was being blocked or trying to block a guy. I was right where the cameras were, and I swear that those guys were playing that scene up to me. They wanted to match what they thought my enthusiasm and intensity was.
The ones that effected me the most were watching the filming of the scenes involving the relationship between myself and my Dad. Between Kevin Conway, who played my father in the movie and also Mark Wahlberg. They were very emotional, for me to see those scenes unfold in front of me, at one point I had to leave the set. It effected me a lot.
What are your thoughts on the final film and Mark Wahlberg's portrayal of you?
Vince Papale: What can I say about the film? I was honored that they chose me in the first place, then to see the finish product, I'm just extremely ecstatic about it. I'm humbled and honored that Disney would think enough of me and my story and journey, that they would want to immortalize it and create a legacy by making a movie called Invincible. As far as Mark Wahlberg's performance he's phenomenal. He was absolutely incredible as an actor, what he did on the field as an athlete, he took a lot of the hits, he was pushing the body doubles away half the time because he wanted to make it look as real as it could. He was getting banged up pretty good on the field. What impressed me more about Mark Wahlberg is that Mark is the man. How genuine he is, how generous he was, how sharing he was. He's a nice kid.
What are you currently doing now?
Vince Papale: Well, I've got three major projects. Number One, I'm gonna try to remain as grounded as I can with my family and my kids. I know they've missed me a lot because for the last 3 months I've done 32 cities, touring around doing stuff for the Sallie Mae Fund, the company I work for. And also charities and Vince Papale, I'm doing a lot of motivational speaking. I'm director of Special Projects for the Sallie Mae fund and I'm gonna be speaking throughout the country to kids, at risk, about the importance of getting a High School education. Then moving on to Higher Education, our theme being, "Hold fast to your dreams because the more you learn the more you earn." Thirdly, out on the speaking tour it's quite lucrative. I'm in great demand around the world as a motivational speaker.
I'm sure the movie will be out on ESPN and that'll resurrect it a little bit. I heard it's gonna be on ABC... it's gonna have a life of it's own and every time that happens, like it happened with Jim Morris with The Rookie, once again there's sort of a little bump in the action and people want you to come out and speak. Other than that I just want to be a Dad, so that's cool.
Invincible is currently available on DVD through Walt Disney Video.

Q: Sql server 2012 log file growth of cdc enbled db I have CDC enabled on a SQL Server 2012 database that is a primary DB in transactional replication and the primary in a availability group. The log file is a little over 95 GB, a historic high. I have the cdc._cleanup job running every 5 minutes. We have a weekly full backup, nightly differentials, and transaction logs that run every 15 minutes. The default retention time for CDC is still set for 72 hours.
I am not able to shrink the log. Any suggestions?

One question about LED lights and circuit issues - is it true that putting LED's on a Bird results in significant drop in load of the circuit, making rectifier work hard to dissipate the excess and leading to faster failure?
I'm digging around japanese web trying to find if there's some new trick to the front fork business SP1? RC45? This is a SC59 bridge...did anyone convert the Bird's fork to SC59?
Thinking about doing something with the Bird over the winter, and there are so many threads on these topics, figured I'd try to make one and distill all the info as much as possible before diving into this, since I'm not really a garage guy. As far as I managed to read, Busa front forks (2006 model year?) are easiest to install, RC51 are "easy" too but those bike are very rare as of late. I found few pics of Nissin big brakes with USD forks, apparently WP branded...any ideas what's the source on these forks? KTM usually puts WP pieces on their bikes... As for swingarms, I saw few threads mentioning TSR swingarms, and they are very cool looking (there's one incredible, fully spec'd out red Bird here that has (had) one) but they remind me of 929 swingarms, with a bit of material welded on TSR aside, 929 should be the direct fit right?
Just a sec, does this mean I can't buy those generic bar end weights that are sold on eBay, Bird requires special kind? Or not?
In the meantime I've sent a inquiry to Carrozzeria and this is the response; Hello, To fit a wheel to this bike would require all new components to be engineered and produced. We do not have Data related to this model and have no plans to make wheels for this model. Sorry to say, The investment required to roll out a new wheel heavily out weighs the market for this model. There may be another wheel brand out there that does have an application for this bike. I wish you luck. Its a great bike, Hope you enjoy it.
Oh nice, was the ZX sprocket featured because of practicality with their stock, or some technical issue that prevented them for making the wheel ready for Bird's OEM sprocket?
Been looking thru some topics on this subject but my knowledge of bikes is too simple, I need someone to walk me through this. Knowing that bike wheels are nowhere near as simple as car wheels, swapping them needs knowledge and attention. So first question, well not really since I think I know the answer - is there a set of wheels from Honda that could fit 2002 Blackbird straight up? But more importantly, if I was to order set of aftermarket wheels (I've seen Carrozzeria is a popular choice here) do they have the set for the Bird, in a way that I don't have to buy any additional gear, i.e. leave the stock brake discs sprocket and all that, just put the new wheel instead of 3 spoke oem atrocities and go? Or are there some measurements I need to know and give it to the wheel company, like you have the offset, J values on car wheels etc.
Tested this today, went for a short ride. Expressway ride, bike kept completely normal temp like it always does. Pull up, shut the bike down, nothing happened. Then went on a slower ride, temp got up very close to fan switching level, pulled over, let the engine run, gauge was at 103'C meaning the fan should've started to operate, nothing happened, 105'C still nothing, 107'C still nothing, shut the bike off, coolant dripped out from above the center stand. Yeah, I will...don't know what attitude to take though.
Is there a chance that the coolant dripping is a sign of something catastrophic (gasket etc?) and also, theoretically is the bike good to ride now if I drive it on open road where fan doesn't have to come in?
Hey folks, first post worst post, bike troubles brief introduction, started riding 2 years ago by getting myself the Bird since I always like that specific bike when I was a kid, made quite some miles on it, made my first stoppie, wheelie, traveled around and became even more of a fan of this turbine smooth easy going machine. The only thing that bothered me was cooling. I know it's not the ideal bike for the city, but at times it would get to that dreadful above 120'C zone so for this year's service I gave my mechanic the new rad (aluminum ebay thing) and OEM rad cap, cap gasket and thermoswitch. He assessed that the rad cap and switch were ok so he didn't change them, they're in my parts box. I have no hands on mechanical experience nor the means to learn, I live near the city center, so giving the bike to the mechanic is my only option. I don't know if this mechanic is sloppy, but he has a good reputation (Honda bikes mainly, owned a Bird 10 years ago etc). But the bike doesn't cool good enough. For example I expected that the cruising temp. would drop a few 'C on the new aluminum rad, that didn't happen, still 84'C. City scooting was as usual, quick to go into 100'C+ and there were few instances when it would go into 110+. Also, I noticed a pattern, not sure if this means anything but on the days when I would ride open roads, cooling was a complete non issue, temps all low and normal. But if I made the bike go into 104'C and more, it would have a hard time coming down, and it would often have some sporadic fan operation, sometimes I would hear it coming on at those temps, sometimes not. Without blaming the mechanic, how the hell is this happening on the "new system", with new rad and all. Is it possible that the bike is tough to burp? Or could it be the faulty fan, since the mechanic mention something about the fan needing the replacement on my next service. Today the bike went into 110'C in the city, I pulled to the side and after half a minute water started to leak from above the bike stand. How do I fix this, or better yet, what the heck do I tell my mechanic to do this time?


I don't want to hide in the darkness anymore. It's time to reveal the real me.

So, I just took my 5 minutes breaks to answer it.

TOWN OVERVIEW
Jinja - Nile River Introduction - Location, Attractions & History
More than 10,000 years ago, the Earth's tectonic plates shifted near Lake Victoria and a legend was born — Jinja, the adventure capital of East Africa. As you stroll along the streets of this enchanting colonial town full of colorful markets, multi-cuisine affordable restaurants, and unpretentious vibe, you would never imagine that the regenerated town setting grew from truly humble beginnings. The Bantu people were the first to recognize the immense value of this valley, fed by a persistent river. Life remained fairly quiet until 1862 when John Speke arrived at the site near Lake Victoria's northern outlet where its waters beautifully cascaded down a natural granite formation. The moment meant much more to Speke than simply stumbling across another of Africa's natural treasures. Rather, it was a personally validating and liberating experience; he had found the source of the Nile River.
The discovery brought some of the world's foremost explorers to the region, all in search of their own piece of history. At the same time, city administrators worked diligently to develop the town in the hopes that it would step out of the shadow of Kampala, a more established city. Jinja soon developed its own personality as a Ugandan industrial center. Meanwhile, thrill-seekers began to arrive in search of the ultimate high-energy adventure experience. While the laid-back town itself is a lovely place to wander, shop, dine, meet locals, and learn about the area's history, the world-class rapids nearby make Jinja the place to go in East Africa for thrilling whitewater experiences.

Historical sights where John Speke first sighted the source of Nile River
Experience whitewater rafting, birdwatching, boating and fishing tours
Extend out on a horseback, mountain biking or trekking excursions in and around Mabira Forest, Bujagali Falls, and Lake Victoria
The river ecosystem is home to a variety of birds, many of them at the top of birdwatchers' must-see lists of East African species. Leisure and active recreational opportunities abound in the area, including whitewater rafting, horseback riding, quad bike tours, paddleboarding, kayaking, boating, fishing, and much more. You can even take a nature walk in the footsteps of John Speke and visit the very spot where he first sighted the granite formation, now known as Ripon Falls. We also recommend including Mabira Forest, Bujagali Falls, and Lake Victoria as part of your Uganda trip itinerary when visiting Jinja - Nile River.
The temperate climate makes Jinja a year-round destination, both for guests who are just beginning their Uganda safaris and those looking to unwind before returning home. The town offers accommodations to meet the needs of every budget and travel style, from large, family-friendly resorts to an eclectic guesthouse designed to appeal to your inner artist. The range of activities, whether leisurely or action-packed, will keep you entertained day and night.
What Are The Areas Of Interest In Jinja - Nile River?
Shifting of tectonic plates relocated the outlet of Lake Victoria some 13,000 years ago
Takes its name from the Luanda word, "ejjinja" which means stone
Cascade of the initial falls formed called the Ripon Falls marking the point where the Nile River is born
Discovered by John Speke, a European explorer who became successful in solving one of the greatest mysteries of the world
The township has a long and interesting evolution, now with economic and tourist significance within the region
The story of Jinja has many fascinating chapters, from a chance geological event to worldwide recognition as what Speke believed to be the source of the Nile. The site where the town now stands was of no particular significance until 13,000 years ago when a shift in the tectonic plates underlying the Western Rift Valley relocated the outlet of Lake Victoria. The event also caused the natural granite to partially block the flow of water out of the lake. Local peoples named the site "ejjinja," which means "stone" in Luganda.
The cascade of water down these rocks was called Ripon Falls (currently submerged), and the small town overlooking the granite formation is modern-day Jinja. The river is the longest river on the planet—the mysterious and powerful Nile. The presence of a thriving river attracted Bantu-speaking people, who came here from West Africa in search of land for grazing and agriculture. Until 1900, Jinja remained a quiet, understated settlement where the biggest activity was simply the villagers canoeing across the river to the royal lands of Buganda.
Jinja made its mark in history on July 28, 1862. John Hanning Speke, a European explorer, arrived from Zanzibar. This was no ordinary trek for Speke who was also in the military. Since the time of Julius Caesar, finding the source of the Nile had been considered the epitome of a successful African exploration. The journey also held personal significance for Speke, as he and his friend, fellow explorer Richard Burton, had a progressive dispute about the location of the source of the Nile. On that day in July, Speke solved one of the greatest mysteries in European history.
News of his discovery spread quickly, and 12 years later Henry Morton Stanley provided independent validation that Speke had, in fact, found the beginnings of the Nile River — although several rivers that feed into Lake Victoria carry its waters from as far away as Burundi and Rwanda. As the world celebrated Jinja's significance, due to the proximity to the source of the Nile, the people of Jinja continued to develop their livelihoods. A ferry route was set up in 1890 in Napoleon Bay to carry passengers from Kampala to Kisumu. Eleven years later, the administrator of the Protectorate Government relocated to Jinja from Iganga.
In 1906, after being proclaimed a township, the small village of Jinja became the subject of extensive city planning. Planners introduced a grid pattern for streets and created the Collectorate Building, Busoga Square, Nile Avenue (now Bell Avenue), a market, and a bazaar. In 1910, construction began on a railroad to connect Jinja to Namasagali. The section of rail was part of the larger railway from Mombasa on the Indian Ocean to the unchartered territories of East Congo. Rail cars from farms near Lake Kyoga routinely arrived in Jinja, and the city served as a short-term storage facility before continuing to Kisumu and, eventually, the coast of Kenya - formerly the region was known as British East Africa. The grid layout of streets was extended east and north in 1913 to provide more housing for the growing population. The administrator also moved the market to its present location. Over a decade later, the town was expanded again, and, in 1931, a bridge was built across the river to accommodate rail cars and traffic.
The District Administrator recognized that Jinja needed to compete with Kampala. Knowing that he had to be creative in his approach, he introduced Nile Drive. In 1937, Jinja experienced growth in industrial development, beginning with the construction of a thermal electricity plant. Next came Coronation Park and Mpumudde Estates. Construction on Owen Falls Dam began in 1949 and was completed in 1954. City planners implemented a policy for electricity tariffs, and this brought textile manufacturing, a plywood factory, and a brewery to the growing city. Shortly after, a copper smelter, tobacco factory, steel rolling plant, flour mill, and second textile mill began operations in Jinja. Since then, Jinja has added another facet to its metropolitan personality — that of an adventure destination (best time to go). Visitors from around the world come to Jinja to experience first-hand the site where the Nile River begins its journey northward to the Mediterranean Sea.
Offers a truly one-of-a-kind forest safari experience in Uganda
Mabira Forest is a birdwatching paradise
Experience mountain biking, nature hikes, and zip lining excursions in Mabira
Mabira Forest is the perfect counterpart to your wild Nile River adventure, offering a truly one-of-a-kind forest safari experience in Uganda. It is located on the drive to Jinja - Nile River (where to stay) from Kampala. As with many of Uganda's natural resources, Mabira Forest has been the focus of debate as the country struggles to strike a balance between human needs and ecological preservation. Stepping foot into its lush setting of massive trees and deep green vegetation, you will understand why so many Ugandans cherish this pristine and vital ecosystem, which supports numerous species of butterflies, birds, primates, and other smaller wildlife. Engaging tour activities can be arranged to give you an intimate understanding of the environmental role of Mabira and its prized woodland flora and fauna.
In addition to red-tailed monkeys, the rare grey-cheeked mangabey can be found in Mabira Forest. A species unique to Uganda, it is found only in this forest and other small tracts within the country. Three of the groups in the forest are habituated and can be visited on tours led by guides who were involved in the process of habituating the mangabeys and therefore know how to locate these rare primates in the forest. Note that seeing the primates in Uganda is not guaranteed due to their natural behaviors, but factors including season, food availability, and time of day may increase your chances of a sighting.
A very good number of Uganda's bird species are found in Mabira Forest, including yellow and grey longbills, Nahan's francolins, Jameson's wattle eyes, Tit Hylias, purple-throated cuckoo shrikes, Cassin's hawk-eagles, African dwarf-kingfishers, green-breasted pittas, yellow-spotted barbets, and dusky long-tailed cuckoos, to name only some of the 315 species. The variety of avian fauna, coupled with expert guides, makes Mabira Forest a birder's holiday paradise when touring Jinja. Avi-fauna are concentrated within specific smaller zones, so guests do not have to cover vast sections of forest to locate and identify a wide variety of bird species.
An outstanding trail system in Mabira Forest supports sustainable eco-vacations by providing ample opportunity to explore. Guides are not necessary for the nature walks, but they enhance the experience by sharing in-depth knowledge of the ecosystem as well as local traditions that are supported by the forest. Trails range in difficulty from easy walks for children and families to advanced trails for backcountry adventurers.
The trails in Mabira Forest can also be used for mountain biking. Should this interest you, your AfricanMecca Safaris consultant will arrange the experience and source well-maintained mountain bikes. Choose a trail that takes you through the forest, or perhaps travel along one that takes you to a local community for a brief cultural experience with some of the friendly people of Uganda.
Seeing the forest from the ground is a breathtaking experience, but the most stunning vantage point is from high in the canopy. The Mabira Forest Canopy Super Skyway is a zip-line, and was introduced in cooperation with Peace Corps volunteers from the United States. The zipline is the first of its kind in Uganda and meets the most rigorous safety standards, so you can simply sit back and enjoy the ride. A series of five ziplines traverse 250 meters across the Musamya River. People from the local community have been trained as Sky Captains and Sky Guides. They help you belay up one of the forest's ancient trees to a sturdy platform, where you launch onto a 78-meter diagonal path through the canopy. As you descend, you'll see layers of vegetation and may even spy primates, birds, and other animals. The return hike follows a trail to the gorgeous Griffin Falls before heading back to base. This four-hour activity is sure to be a highlight of your memorable trip to the most loved rainforest in Uganda.
