where “I met a lot of very nice people from around the globe in a similar life situation to myself, who had similar values, and I developed many long-term friendships from my time there.”
He also explained a little more about his “amazing and unforgettable experience” at the Malawi Medical Volunteer project.
It is targeted to the communities around Monkey Bay that are in desperate need of our help, on the shores of the picturesque Lake Malawi, with its stunning sandy beaches and mountainous backdrop.”
“The project work itself was very valuable to the community, great fun, fascinating, and very fulfilling.
In Malawi, most individuals are uneducated in anything to do with medicine and have little money to spend on treatments or even trips to the hospital for themselves and/or their families – so they were very appreciative about being informed about the common diseases/infections that they may encounter and very appreciative for any medical aid we provided in the form of wound clinics.
The work was also very rewarding for myself and I feel I gained a lot of valuable experience in a completely different culture.”
“The Amanzi Travel staff were very friendly, easy to approach with any queries I had about the trip before departure, and extremely helpful and detailed in their response. As a result I felt very prepared for what to expect on the trip. I have been nothing but impressed with Amanzi Travel, and helped to make my time in Africa so special.
The staff located in Malawi were also very friendly, welcoming, and informative, helping people to settle in quickly.”
“The optional excursions at the weekends were also thoroughly enjoyable, a great way to socialise with the other volunteers and make good friends, and an excellent way to see more of the wonderful country of Malawi.”
Malawi is known as the “Warm Heart of Africa” for very good reasons. This diverse and flexible project gives the opportunity to make a difference to some of the most welcoming, friendly and under-privileged people in the continent of Africa. Medical volunteers help in the local clinics and hospitals.

Xplanner is a project planning and tracking tool for agile development teams, which we’ve been recommended to use at work. The only problem is, no-one seems to have done any work on it since 2006, and it only officially works in jdk 1.4, and some old version of Tomcat. Our server runs PostgreSQL 8, Tomcat 5.5 and jdk 1.6. One of the main problems we had was that the automatic migration process did not seem to work for Postgres. This is what I did to get it to work:
Patched the database myself. The scripts are in WEB-INF\classes\patches. I had to amend them to work with Postgres (e.g. datetime -> timestamp, tinyint -> boolean). I only had to run the later ones.
Deleted the file \WEB-INF\classes\com\technoetic\xplanner\upgrade\CleanUpNoteTableConstraints.class as it didn’t seem to like this either.

Now I'm really SAD!! One of my all time favorite musicals starring one of my favorite stars, Oliver Platt, is going bye bye!!
Des McAnuff's new Broadway revival of Guys and Dolls, the famous "Musical Fable of Broadway," will close June 14 after four months of performances at the newly refurbished Nederlander Theatre. Wow! This is a shocker!! Was it the poor performance at the Tony's where they lost the sound or was it just not selling?? I thought it was kind of holding its own.
Cast members were told June 9, two days after their appearance on the Tony Awards broadcast. The new production of the 1950 musical by Frank Loesser, Abe Burrows and Jo Swerling opened March 1 after previews from Feb. 5.
The cast is headed by Oliver Platt (as Nathan Detroit), Lauren Graham (as Miss Adelaide), Craig Bierko (as Sky Masterson) and Kate Jennings Grant (Sarah Brown).
The show (nominated as Best Revival of a Musical in the 2009 Tony Awards) is based on characters and stories created by Damon Runyon, who, for this production, appears as a character who frames the action. Director McAnuff (Jersey Boys, The Who's Tommy) set his staging in the 1930s (around the time Runyon was writing) rather than the usual 1950s.
This revival is visually unique. A giant video wall is used to create filmic, animated backdrops for the show's settings. An animated seaplane is shown whisking characters to Havana, for example.
Guys and Dolls has music and lyrics by Frank Loesser. The classic score includes "Fugue for Tinhorns," "A Bushel and a Peck," "If I Were a Bell," "Adelaide's Lament," "I'll Know," "Guys and Dolls," "More I Cannot Wish You," "Luck Be A Lady" and "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat."
Many consider it to be one of the perfect musical comedies for its lean storytelling and its character- and plot-rich songs.
If you haven't seen it, GO! Applause can get you in at a great price(below the normal face value!) with great seats! Call 800-451-9930
