Here’s a quick excerpt
Sri Lanka’s position has improved significantly in the recently published Global Network Readiness Index (NRI) which measures a nation’s or community’s degree of preparation to participate in and benefit from ICT developments. Sri Lanka has secured the 79th position (out of 127 countries) during the period 2007-08, against 86th position (out of 122 countries) it obtained in 2006-07, agency reports said yesterday.
India and China have moved down on index. India has come down four positions to 44 and China nine positions down to 59.
Pakistan (84) was 17 positions down from last year’s 67. On the other hand, other countries from Asia and the Pacific region continued to do well this year, with Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, and Korea occupying 12, 13, 14, 15 and 19th positions, respectively, although Taiwan and Korea lost some ground as comparied to last year.

Aree gratis ai privati per 3.400 nuovi alloggi

«Mai più quartieri ghetto». Il Comune annuncia la rivoluzione, che scatta con due bandi pubblici presentati ieri. Obiettivo: creare quasi 3.400 nuovi alloggi dove vivranno fianco a fianco ceti medi e famiglie in difficoltà. Palazzo Marino chiede ai privati di raccogliere la sfida: a loro offre gratis per trent’anni 11 aree (per 310.600 metri quadrati), in cambio dovranno costruire - e gestire - un mix di appartamenti a canone sociale, moderato e convenzionato, accanto ad una quota da vendere a prezzo moderato. Per chi acquista, assicura l’assessore all’Urbanistica Carlo Masseroli, «la spesa non supererà 1.800 euro al metro quadrato». La formula si chiama housing sociale, destinato a chi non può pagare affitti a prezzo di mercato (come le famiglie numerose, con portatori di handicap, single con figli piccoli, giovani coppie) o a chi vive temporaneamente in città, come studenti, lavoratori temporanei o forze dell’ordine. Il primo bando, aperto solo agli […]

I Gave You the Land, Now Grow Your Own Fruit
“And it shall be, when you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you possess it and dwell in it, that you shall take some of the first of all the produce of the ground, which you shall bring from your land that the Lord your God is giving you, and put it in a basket and go to the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide.” Deuteronomy 26:1-2

Several years ago while attending my first Creation Festival I found myself walking by the Gospel For Asia ministry booth where they were handing out a free book called, “Revolution in World Missions.” I took it (because it was free), brought it home and placed it on a shelf where it sat, unopened, for five years (*I know […]

Obama–The One, the Anointed, The Messiah! (hilarious new Video from McCain)

This is hilarious!
Finally, McCain & Co. are getting serious about this fight–and IMO this is an excellent way to needle the “Enlightened One.”
That said, it is really creepy to see and hear all the Obama apocalyptic hyperbole back-to-back in a single clip.
Does Obama know no shame?

Messi e tante stelle: in Cina il calcio si fa largo

unknown wrote an interesting post today on
Here’s a quick excerpt
L’unico modo per farsi largo è quello seguito dal basket: avanti con le stelle e gli altri stiano a guardare. E così, in un universo (quello olimpico) che guarda al calcio con un briciolo di invidia e uno squarcio di superiority complex, il mondo del pallone ha deciso di calare gli assi: dentro Messi, Ronaldinho e un gruppetto di campioni e vediamo chi non se li godrà. Partenza il 7 agosto, in anticipo sulla cerimonia d’apertura. La sponsorizzazione Fifa concessa a Leo Messi e all’Argentina a far dispetto al Barcellona, che pur cercherà di bloccare tutto rivolgendosi al tribunale arbitrale sportivo, ha scatenato le fantasie. El Pulga è partito ieri per Pechino, accompagnato da componente dello staff tecnico del Barça, una sorta di guardia del corpo che vorrebbe rendere più soft la sconfitta politica e mettere in imbarazzo la Celeste. «Sopravviveremo anche senza Messi», ha invece concluso Pepp Guardiola, l’allenatore […]

What next, the golden dome at Notre Dame?

limeriella wrote an interesting post today on
Here’s a quick excerpt
Today, it was announced by the London Daily Sunday Times that the famous and iconic clock would be going digital. Not only would it be going digital, it would also be featuring advertisements. “This is an effort to bring the historic land mark up to the contemporary times”, said Ian McFane, with the British Travel Ministry of London and Buckingham. He also went on to say that “the advertisements were an effort to bring in revenue for the faltering British economy.” I have to imagine what the Old English gents in London think about using this once historical and traditional center piece of the old city for this means.

Extracomunitario molesta una giovane sulle scale del metrò

Here’s a quick excerpt
Preso da un raptus le ha alzato la gonna e le ha toccato il fondoschiena. Poi, alle grida della ragazza, che evidentemente non ha apprezzato troppo tali attenzioni, il maniaco, descritto come un extracomunitario, si è allontanato di gran fretta. Vittima dell’episodio avvenuto domenica intorno alle 16.30 in viale Gran Sasso, angolo viale Abruzzi, una giovane donna di 27 anni. La ragazza ha poi raccontato che stava scendendo le scale della metropolitana Loreto quando ha incrociato un uomo dalla pelle olivastra che appena l’ha vista s’è fermato, è tornato indietro, le alzato la gonna e iniziato a toccarle il fondoschiena. Una forma di «apprezzamento» che la ragazza non ha proprio gradito, tanto che si è messa a strillare con quanto fiato aveva in gola. A quel punto il molestatore ha mollato la preda e si è dato a precipitosa fuga. La ragazza ha poi denunciato l’aggressione mercoledì pomeriggio.
