1892-1975, Emperor of Ethiopia (1930?74).

He was born Tafari Makonnen, the son of a noted general and the grandnephew of Emperor Menelik II. A brilliant student, he became a favorite of Menelik, who made him a provincial governor at 14. As a Coptic Christian, Tafari opposed Menelik?s grandson and successor, who became a Muslim convert, and in 1916 compelled his deposition and established Menelik?s daughter Zauditu as empress with himself as regent. In 1928, Tafari was crowned king of Ethiopia, and in 1930, after the empress?s mysterious death, he became emperor as Haile Selassie, claiming to be a direct descendant of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. He attempted internal reforms and took great pride in the suppression of slavery. When Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935, he personally led defending troops in the field, but in 1936 he was forced to flee to British protection. Twice (1936, 1938) he vainly appealed to the League of Nations for effective action against Italy. In 1940, after Italy entered World War II, he returned to Africa with British aid, and in 1941 he reentered Ethiopia and regained his throne.

In the postwar period he instituted social and political reforms, such as establishing (1955) a national assembly. In the 1960s and 70s he worked for pan-African aims, particularly through the Organization of African Unity. In 1960 he crushed a revolt by a group of young intellectuals and army officers demanding an end to oppression and poverty. In 1974, however, the army was successful in seizing control. Haile Selassie was progressively stripped of his powers and finally, on Sept. 12, 1974, deposed. He was murdered in prison at the orders of the coup leaders in 1975.

Is Gizmo Project a Skype Killer?
For those of you not in the know, there are now two programs out there that do free P2P VoIP - Skype has been around for quite awhile now, where Gizmo Project (which may get a new name soon) is a relative newcomer.
Both offer similar paid services, such as the ability to call out to standard phone networks, or the ability to have your own custom inbound number.


My friend asked me if I knew how they compared, in terms of RAM utilization. Skype.exe is eating 22,784K according to Windows XP. Gizmo.exe is using 16,292K. Gizmo wins for size, at least initially, but is still beta and has less functions now.
Any call to a Gizmo Project user is free. No matter when, no matter where, no matter how long. Free. There?s no monthly service charge. Nor is there a set up cost. Gizmo Project is free.

What is Parser3?
Parser is a simple and convenient object-oriented language, which allows creating good sites in short time. It is a little more complicated than HTML, but requires no special programming skills. Parser was started in Art. Lebedev studio in 1997. Nowadays, most of sites created by Art. Lebedev studio are made with Parser.

What is it for, anyway?
Language is designed and optimized in such a way that it would be more convenient to create good sites. Language supports working with forms, cookies, table files, databases, and XML. Support for user operators and classes allows to extend its functionality.

There is PHP, what Parser is for?
PHP is a programming language requiring appropriate training. Parser can be successfully used by non-professional programmers. Parser is especially good in that it allows mere mortals to create and maintain complex dynamic sites without spending too much time. So you can use your main time to go swimming or drink a cool cocktail at night ;-)

Vitamin D bears the nickname the "sunshine vitamin" because the skin produces it from ultraviolet rays. Researchers believe slapping on sunscreen may actually contribute to far more cancer deaths than it prevents as doing so blocks this vital vitamin production.

Thus, while dermatologists and health agencies have long touted that such lotions are needed to prevent skin cancer, some scientists are now challenging that advice. Their main argument: Vitamin D is important for preventing and treating many types of cancer; studies have found it helped protect against lymphoma, as well as cancers of the:

* Prostate
* Lung
* Skin
* Colon

In fact, one Harvard professor offered such compelling evidence in a recent study -- vitamin D may prevent 30 deaths for each one caused by skin cancer -- that the American Cancer Society is now reconsidering its own sun guidelines.

Getting Enough Sunshine

Many people struggle with getting enough vitamin D. Many scientists believe 15 minutes or so a few times a week of "safe sun" (void of sunscreen) is both achievable and healthful. However, the lack of consensus on how much vitamin D is needed, along with the optimal way to get it, still remains.

Why? Because even with sunshine recommendations, the amount needed would depend on, among other factors, the:

* Season
* Skin color
* Time of day
* Location a person lives in

Researchers are concerned that people -- after hearing the health benefits of reaping sunshine -- may overdo it. Therefore, experts recommend moderation with sun exposure until more evidence is presented.
