Eat insect - UN said.

So far I know and can guess there's million or could be billion of dollars are set on budget as expense for entertainment [food] for guest coming/working/visiting any / one UN office round the world. Current new advice came on board from UN to eat insect in order to have proper nutrition and to minimize food scarcity.

    http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=44886#.VbiQIrWQlTU

Lets have some hypothesis of such FOOD SCARCITY ->

1. In 2012 - 2013 total UN approved budget was $5.152 B.

    http://www.un.org/en/hq/dm/pdfs/oppba/Regular%20Budget.pdf

2. If 2% of total amount has been used for food & related stuff (UN offices, for employee and guests) - $103.04 Million is in total.

3. Average annual budget for UNESCO is $326 Million. However due to US suspension of funding UNESCO is in shortfall of $188 Million.

So, we can make a corollary as, if UN follows its report, its possible to cover 60% of US contribution to UNESCO, which ensure better living with education, science and diversity.

Schleswig-Holstein & North Sea Tour

Last Sunday, actually a lot to do, but I cought with lazy disease. I can't sit, I can't type, I can't read, even I can't concentrate to movie - so I made Schleswig Holstein tour. And honestly speaking, I'm cured from disease.

My first stop was in Friedrichstadt, a very little Town, about 400 years old. Friedrichstadt is established by Dutch settler, and made it a little Netherlands with Canals and Dutch style buildings.

Interesting thing about the city is, it started with population more / less 2500 inhabitant and for decades maintain it, however still total inhabitant is around 2500.

 

Asterisk & A2billing on production

I was thinking of this for long, to keep notes of my different works on Asterisk and A2billing in different time.

Many different problem I'd faced and put them in various places, that quite difficult to find now.

So, now I thought to put them in together and keep updating everytime, I'm updating anything. Which means, this blog, is elastic.

1. Today I was installing asterisk CDR viewer, the simplest CDR viewer for asterisk, and faced a problem like -

 my_load_module: Failed to connect to mysql database asteriskcdrdb on localhost.

 This problem is just placed in /etc/asterisk/cdr_mysql.conf

[global]
hostname=localhost
dbname=asteriskcdrdb
table=cdr
password=kikori2015
user=root
port=3306
;sock=/tmp/mysql.sock

Sherlock Holmes - no suitable quote

 How appropriate to having below one at your own shelf [well - I don't have any; to me it laid over my favorite desktop]. Its a full book, hardback, total 711 pages all short stories and 4 novels, includes the same black & white illustration originally published in The Strand Magazine.

Alors on danse !!!!

 How appropriate this song is with the thoughts and ideas of many of us.

I became quite a fan of French music and the language.

Includes getting the real flavor of French gentleman behavior. Scrolling to comments might not a good idea.

A short trip to Paris

It was more than seven months I was stuck at home, days and nights. So decide to go out from home, city, state or even country. Something I need new, charming, far (!) and ofcourse very cheap.

First thing for cheap travel is, you need a group, so I catch 3 more. All are my colleague at Uni, young, energetic and equally poor like me. As well its summer time, they all busy to collecting some money for winter ( kind of reptile principle). With my strong insist and threat, they give up one weekend for travel to beautiful and equally dirty / un-managed  city Paris.

Our plan was to get a mitfahrer ( a driver who kindly will drive us with very little money ) to Paris. It was very difficult to get one for 4 foreign people, and we didn't got any. Even an advertisement at mitfahrer brings no success. Now came second option - weekend ticket for Germany.

" You can buy Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket for 44 Euro valid from 00:00 to next day 03:00 (Sat & Sun) and able to travel round Germany with only Regional Train include S & U Bahn and I guess strassen Bahn (Tram)."

Win Win Evening

As usual with others, I always fascinated to old books. Might it could happened, if I asked to choose between same book of an used or new - I'd choose the older one. Don't know but somehow get feelings as, books never gets old, or sharing others folded pages - sometimes very interesting notes. I can remember a book of shorts stories was fully covered all dictionary meaning of different words. I bet that was the English book I ever read swiftly. Still I often check dictionary of words, never felt better with any other books so easy reading to me.

Today on a monthly grocery shopping and little family timing, we were in Hambug, and on way back home with insist of my wife, was checking Stilbruch GmbH. However she rather encourage me, as there has some old, good, super computer stuff, which is as good as able to give me mild heart-attack.
