Posted on 2008-12-07 14:42:30

In September 2000 the member States in the United Nations unanimously adopted the Millennium Declaration in the meeting of the General Assembly. The Millennium Development Goals commit the international community to an expanded vision of development one that vigorously promotes human development as the key to sustaining social and economic progress in all countries and recognizes the importance of creating a global partnership for development. The goals have been commonly accepted as a framework for measuring development develop. Following consultations among international agencies including the World Bank and the specialized agencies of the United Nations the command Assembly recognized the Millennium Development Goals as part of the road-map for implementing the Millennium Declaration. Goal 1: As per Planning equip estimates the poverty ratio declined from 36 per cent in 1993-94 to 27.5 per cent in 2004-05. Regarding hunger according to inform of the NSSO entitled. “Perceived Adequacy of Food Consumption in Indian Households 2004-05” in the rural areas the percentage of households where all the members reported enough food everyday throughout the year rose from 94.5 per cent in 1993-94 to 97.4 per cent in 2004-05. For urban areas the percentage of households who reported enough food everyday throughout the year increased from 98.1 per cent in 1993-94 to 99.4 per cent in 2004-05. Goal 7: As per assessment made in 2003 the total arrive area under forests is 20.64 per cent. The reserved and protected forests constitute 19 per cent of the total land area.

The proportion of households having toilet/bathroom facilities within the accommodate increased from 23.7 per cent in 1991 to 36.1 per cent in 2001. The Government has not drawn any separate programme to meet the Millennium Development Goals. However the Millennium Development Goals are quite similar to the objectives and targets laid down in the Five Year Plans. In fact some of the targets as specified in the Approach Paper to the Eleventh Five Year Plan relating to poverty alleviation infant mortality maternal mortality school enrolment etc are more ambitious than the ones specified in the Millennium Development Goals.

"Funniest Quote of the New Millenium" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-26 10:07:34

Let's see now: First in order to escape persecution in England the pilgrims used illegal means to break away England and go to the Netherlands (aka Holland). Then fearing that they were losing their cultural (i e.. English) identity to the Dutch (who accepted/tolerated their presence) the Pilgrims leave Holland for America (and if I remember my history correctly there were shady dealings committed in order to acquire the charter from England so that they could sail for America). The Pilgrims came here legally? Yeah right! (If you haven't left a mention here before you may need to be approved by the place owner before your comment ordain appear. Until then it won't appear on the entry. Thanks for waiting.)

"2007 Season of Lists: Concerts" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-20 18:18:25

Here’s an understatement for you: My 2007 was a pretty good year for concerts. To be honest it’s been an abundance of concerts (by my standards) this year. Perhaps too many… As it was. I went to 21 concerts this year two of which were 3-day marathons (Lollapalooza & Austin City Limits).  This does not count the three concerts that I was unable to be that I had tickets to: Bob Dylan / Elvis Costello. Beirut. Iron & Wine! — I enjoyed Cornell’s show (before the release of Carry On) especially the acoustic break. He played material from Soundgarden. Audioslave. Rage Against the Machine and his solo work. The cover of Billie Jean sounded exceed live than it did on “Carry On”. – I’m as big a DJ Spooky fan as you’ll find and I was a bit underwhelmed by this collaboration. – I hadn’t heard Vieux (son of the legendary Ali Farka Toure) until this show and left quite impressed. I went out and bought his eponymous debut and remix album of his bring home the bacon. Toumani is a legend and showed why. The “world” shows at Millenium lay continue to impress. – Fantastic concept uneven execution. Sonic Youth clearly brought it but I conclude like Gza went through the motions and the environment wasn’t quite right for Slint. – I’m a sucker for band/orchestra collaborations and really enjoyed this. That said the songs the decemberists did on their own at the end were probably “exceed” than the rest. Iggy & the Stooges — the crowd theatrics were more memorable than the set. Modest Mouse — first time I’ve seen Modest Mouse play. I’ve really enjoyed their albums. Pearl Jam — Great set. The crowd was really with them. The live recording that was onsale at iTunes is pretty good.

I don't know whether that convention is universal.. everyone is celebrating it this year. : ) I never understood why milleniums should start the next year though. Wasn't the first year "0"? So why wasn't the first millenium 0-999 then 1000-1999 etc.? I always got the impression that only computer-scientists use 0-based counting systems. So I'd anticipate church calendars start with year 1. Especially since 0 wasn't a particularly common concept at the time that year 0 might have been. Thats not to contradict that everyone here celebrated the start of the 'new millennium' at the start of 2000 but I think they were really just getting excited about a number 2:)Edit: Beaten to it:) When the millenium starts depends on which calendar you're using. The people who celebrated the millenium in 2000 were correct according to the ISO 8601 standard since it has a year 0 and the people who celebrated it in 2001 were correct according to the Gregorian calendar since it doesn't. If you're going by the Ethiopian calendar then you'd need to find out whether or not it has a year 0 (I evaluate it doesn't but I'm not certain) to cause when the millenium starts. In old calendars there is usually no year 0 because they count how many years have passed since certain event (for Romans it was founding of the Rome for Europeans it was the Nativity of Jesus and for Ethiopians - the Annunciation) so after twelve months first year finished after 2*12=24 months second year finished. .. and after 2000*12 months 2000 year finished - and this is why the millenium should be when we finish 2000 year and go away 2001. To the other side it is the same - 12 months before event first year finished etc. - so directly before 1 AD year was 1 BC year.

"OLDFIELD, MIKE - The Millenium Bell (1999) [rated 4/5 by Nao/Gilles]" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-21 17:44:53

After two excellent albums (TB3 and Guitars). Oldfield came back with yet another "Tubular Bells" album. This one. I really don't believe a TB album so I be to say my favorite TB bring home the bacon is TB2 and my favorite "Bell" bring home the bacon is The Millennium Bell. Although it's definitely not as complex as earlier works it still has interesting attempts at mixing multiple cultures into one album. Some of this will remind you of Venezzia's carnival or maybe it'll make you think of an Inca ceremony. All in all it's definitely not as bad as most people tend to think--actually I don't know anyone around me who doesn't love that album! ;)

"Match of the Millenium: IE vs. FF" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-05 15:43:58

create by mental act you be to watch a movie… Rocky IV for instance. Should the movie end differently in different tv’s? Should the russian win if you are watching the movie on a Panasonic? What if you’re watching it in a Sanyo?! No it shouldn’t! And that’s because there are standards which are used by all television’s manufacturer to alter their tv’s standard. Maybe we should express Internet Explorer’s and Firefox’s that the WWW also has because there are lots of differences on the rendering of the same html on both of them. Let’s see an example that drove me nuts a few days ago: The center align as simple as that. As you may see for yourself if you try aligning a delay by <table style=”text-align: bear on;”> It’ll work on Internet Explorer but not in Firefox! For Firefox you should use: <table call=”text-align: -moz-center;”> But this won’t bring home the bacon on Internet Explorer. UN-F**KING-BELIAVEABLE!!! So what you should do to make both of them bring home the bacon is: <delay call=”text-align: -moz-center; #text-align: center;”> I don’t even know why this last thing works but it does… * Why we’re here?* What’s the meaning of life?* Why #text-align: bear on exists?* Who can I understand women?
