Obama's priority: Fixing the economy
When it comes to priorities, many polls suggest Americans want
President-elect Barack Obama to fix the economy first when he enters
the Oval Office in a little more than two months.
Getting Congress to approve tax cuts promised on the campaign trail
may be a good start toward tackling the problem, analysts say.
If that goes well, experts say, the political momentum will help make
it easier for Obama to keep his other campaign promises on alternative
energy and getting health care for millions.
“In Washington,
winning leads to winning, and losing breeds losing,” said Stuart
Rothenberg of the nonpartisan The Rothenberg Political Report.
However, setting priorities often means navigating treacherous waters.
Kenya recognises agriculture as priority sector
Kenyan government has today committed 8
percent of national budget next year to boost agriculture industry and
to increase food production.With some of
funding expected to well from international finacing intitutions,
Kenyan president Mwai Kibaki said east African nation’s increase of its
budgetary allocation to agriculture is aimed at transforming sector
into a commercially viable business and make Kenya the grain basket for
region.
Mr Kibaki, though he did not specify how much money will be put on
agriculture sector, said allocation will be raised from 4.5 percent.
“We have the potential to become the grain basket for this region and
beyond. Our farmers are capable of doubling productivity so that we
have food security for our people and a surplus for export,” Mr Kibaki
told conference in Nairobi.
He also noted need to boost small-holder farmers and cooperatives to
expand their income base, while at same time adding value to their
products to meet competitive market demands.
Music of Ghana
The Republic of Ghana is a country in West Africa. It borders Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) to the west, Burkina Faso to the north, Togo to the east, and the Gulf of Guinea to the south.
The word “Ghana” means “Warrior King”, and was the source of the name “Guinea” (via French Guinoye) that is used to refer to the West African coast (as in Gulf of Guinea).
Ghana was inhabited in pre-colonial times by a number of ancient kingdoms, including the Ga Adangbes on the eastern coast, inland Empire of Ashanti and various Fante states along the coast and inland.
Trade with European states flourished after contact with the Portuguese in the 15th century, and the British established a crown colony, Gold Coast, in 1874.
Upon being the first African nation to achieve independence from the United Kingdom in 1957, the name Ghana was chosen for the new nation to reflect the ancient Empire of Ghana that once extended throughout much of western Africa. In the Ashanti language it is spelled Gaana.
Installing IIS on Windows XP Home
Microsoft doesn’t officially support running IIS (Internet Information Server) or PWS (Personal Web Server) on Windows XP Home.
See: INFO: Personal Web server is not included with Windows XP Home Edition.
There is no technical reason why XP Home didn’t include a web server, so I can only assume it was done as a marketing decision.
These instructions are unofficial and unsupported. Hacking your
Windows XP Home
installation is a good way to put your computer out of commission and require a full reinstall.
If you are actually using your computer to run a business and need IIS,
you must license an appropriate version of Windows to be in compliance
with Microsoft EULAs. These versions include:
- Windows XP Professional
- Windows Web Server 2008
- Windows Server 2008
- Windows Server 2003
Requirements
These instructions have the following requirements:
- You are running Windows XP Home SP2.
SP2 contains many
changes to how Windows manages computer security. These instructions
may not work on versions of XP older (or newer) than SP2. - Your Windows XP Home installation disc.
- A Windows 2000 installation disc (any version.)
You must copy IIS from a version of Windows 2000. These instructions
do not work if you try to copy from XP Professional or Windows Server
2003. - Windows Script 5.6 or higher.
At the risk of being redundant: This document only works when you copy IIS from a Windows 2000 CD. It will not work if you try to copy IIS from Windows XP Professional, or any newer version of Windows.
Path and CD-ROM notes
- I assume that your windows folder is
C:\Windowswhich is the default location. Substitute your actual windows folder if needed. - I assume that your CD-ROM drive is assigned the letter
X:. Substitute your actual CD-ROM drive letter if needed.
Windows Script Installation
You need to be running Windows Script 5.6 or higher for these
instructions to work. Newer versions of Windows XP will come with this
version installed, but if you have a very old installation you may need
to update this component manually.
To verify your version of Windows Script, open a command prompt and run:
cscript
You should see “Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6″ or
“…5.7″. If you have a prior version, use the following link to update
your scripting components.
Micrsoft Download: Windows Script 5.7 for Windows XP
IIS Installation
- Open the file
C:\WINDOWS\INF\SYSOC.INFand find the section[Components]. - Find the line:
iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,hide,7
and replace it with:
iis=iis2.dll,OcEntry,iis2.inf,,7
Typographical notes
-
- This file is case-sensitive, so make sure you type
OcEntryand notOCEntryorocentry. - In the replacement text, there are two commas in a row before the 7.
- This file is case-sensitive, so make sure you type
- From your Windows 2000 CD, copy the files
X:\I386\iis.dl_andX:\I386\iis.in_to a folder on your hard drive. - Go to the folder from step #3 in a command window.
“Open Command Window Here”
Microsoft provides a PowerToy that lets you easily get to any folder
in a command window. After installing the PowerToy, right-click on any
folder to open it in the shell.
See: Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP, and install “Open Command Window Here”.
- In the command window, decompress the two files with the following commands:
expand iis.dl_ iis2.dll
expand iis.in_ iis2.inf
(You may close the command prompt at this time.) - Move the files:
iis2.inftoC:\Windows\INF
iis2.dlltoC:\Windows\System32\Setup - Open the Control Panel and choose Add or Remove Programs. From the column of icons on the left, choose Add/Remove Windows Components. IIS will now be available.
Optional Windows Components
You can also remove unused Windows components from this form. I
unchecked “MSN Explorer”. Note that some of these options (IE, Outlook
Express) only remove a program from the Start Menu list, and don’t
actually remove the executables.
- Check IIS and then click the details button. You can add or remove optional components in this form.
Do not install SMTP
I recommend unchecking SMTP. When I
leave SMTP checked, my install hangs trying to configure SMTP. It’s
possible that I’m just not waiting long enough, but as I don’t need
that service I installed without it.
- Click OK to close the details window and then Next to continue with the installation.
- When prompted, insert your Windows 2000 disc and browse for
X:\I386; do the same when prompted for your XP Home disc. - Once installed, you can access the Internet Services Manager by opening the Control Panel and choosing Administrative Tools.
Add Administrative Tools to the Start Menu
To add Administrative Tools to the Start Menu:
-
- Right-click on the start button and choose Properties.
- Click the Customize… button then select the Advanced tab.
- Scroll the Start menu items list to the bottom, and select where you want Administrative Tools to appear.
Now that basic installation is complete, you must configure IIS.
IIS Configuration
When cross-installing IIS from Windows 2000 to Windows XP Home, the default Directory Security and Home Directory settings will not work correctly out-of-the-box.
Configure Directory Security
The default IIS account is IUSR_NAME. We need to replace this with NAME\IUSR_NAME (where NAME is your computer name.)
IIS User Accounts
IIS creates some user accounts, based on your computer’s name, that it uses to run ASP applications: IUSR_NAME and IWAM_NAME, where NAME is the name of your computer.
This allows custom security settings to be applied to ASP and ISAPI applications.
- Start Internet Services Manager from Administrative Tools.
- Your computer will appear under Internet Information Services. Right-click on your computer and choose Properties.
- Select Master WWW Service in the drop-down, then click Edit….
- Select the Directory Security tab.
- Under Anonymous access and authentication control click Edit…
- In the Authentication Methods form, make sure only Anonymous access is checked, then click Edit….
- The default username will be
IUSR_NAME. We need to replace this withNAME\IUSR_NAMEwhereNAMEis your computer name. You can type it in manually or use these steps:- Click the Browse… button.
- On the Select User form click the Advanced… button in the bottom left.
- Click the Find Now button in the middle-right of this form.
- Select
IUSR_NAMEin the user list at the bottom of the form, then click OK - Click OK to dismiss the Select User form.
- Uncheck Allow IIS to control password. (This is important!)
- Click OK to dismiss the Anonymous User Account form.
- Click OK to dismiss the Authentication Methods form.
- Click OK to dismiss the WWW Service Master Properties form.
- Click OK to dismiss the
ComputernameProperties form.
If you see “The requested resource is in use.” trying to access your new web server, follow the Home Directory steps below to modify the Application Protection settings for the default web site.
Configure Home Directory
With Internet Services Manager:
- Your computer will appear under Internet Information Services. Click on your computer to expand its list of servers.
- Right-click on Default Web Server and choose Properties.
- Select the Home Directory tab.
- In the Application Protection drop-down under Application Settings choose Low (IIS Process).
- Click OK to dismiss the form.
The default website may not work
If you go to http://localhost in a browser, chances are you will see an ASP error on line 19. Don’t panic.
IUSR_NAME does not have permission to run the default IIS website. The default IIS website attempts to create admin-only ActiveX objects.
Testing your IIS installation
To test your IIS installation you should create some test files and
point the default website to the folder containing those files.
- Download iistest.zip.
- Copy the
iistestfolder inside the .zip to your harddrive. - Click on your computer to expand its list of servers in Internet Services Manager.
- Right-click on Default Web Server and choose Properties.
- Select the Home Directory tab.
- In the Local Path: textbox, type in the path to the
iistestfolder you extracted (or use the Browse… button to find it.) - Click OK to dismiss the Default Web Site Properties form.
If everything is set up correctly, you should be able to see the test at http://localhost/default.htm.
Troubleshooting
If your site is not enabled after following these directions, you
cannot choose IIS components to install, or serves HTML but not ASP,
here are some things you can try:
- Are you using Windows 2000? These instructions only work if
you copy IIS from Windows 2000. They will not work with Windows XP
Professional or Windows Server 2003. - Double-check your edits to
C:\WINDOWS\INF\SYSOC.INF. The file must be edited exactly as shown, and saved to the correct place. - Reboot. Some users report that rebooting causes IIS to start properly.
Rebuild the IIS COM+ components. This page by Brooks Younce shows how.
Food crisis forces Africa farm aid rethink
By Sonia Ounissi
TUNIS
(Reuters) – Foreign donors should do more tostimulate private investment to
improve Africa’s ailing farmsector and address a worsening food crisis,
delegates at afarming conference said on Friday.
Africa
is struggling to feed a growing population due toyears of neglect of
agriculture and a shift by many countriesto export crops that increased
reliance on food imports.
Africa’s
wheat consumption in 2005 grew 3 times quickerthan output, according to the
Japan International CooperationAgency.
A
doubling of commodity prices in the last two years hastriggered riots in
several countries.
The
African Development Bank (AfDB), the only multilateraldevelopment body devoted
only to Africa, had boosted itsagricultural loans by $1 billion (502 million
pounds) to $4.8billion since May 3.
But
the food crisis is also forcing international lendersto rethink their approach,
according to delegates at themeeting of African agriculture officials and
developmentpartners in Tunis.
AfDB
officials said many donors had failed to make creditavailable to African
farmers and that aid to Africanagriculture had declined in the past few years.
“There’s
a realisation that we cannot just continue withbusiness as usual,” AfDB
Vice President Zeinab El Bakri toldReuters. “There’s a consciousness that
donors must worktogether… It also means enhancing private
sectorpartnership.”
She
said there had to be a focus on certain staple foods.
“Rice
is one and we are working on that to improve this newrice for Africa.”
The
benefits of reform are potentially huge — UnitedNations experts say Africa
could triple or quadruple cropoutput over two seasons through simple changes to
farmingtechniques.
