Don't for gate Daylight Saving will start today!
Daylight saving time (DST) or summer time (see "Terminology") is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months by one hour so that light extends into the evening hours—sacrificing normal sunrise times. Typically, users of DST adjust clocks forward one hour near the start of spring and adjust them backward in the autumn to "normal" or regular time.[1]
New Zealander George Vernon Hudson proposed the modern idea of daylight saving in 1895.[2] Germany and Austria-Hungary organized the first implementation, starting on 30 April 1916. Many countries have used it at various times since then, particularly since the energy crisis of the 1970s.
The practice has received both advocacy and criticism.[1] Putting clocks forward benefits retailing, sports, and other activities that exploit sunlight after working hours,[3] but can cause problems for evening entertainment and for other activities tied to the sun (such as farming) or to darkness (such as fireworks shows).[4][5] Although some early proponents of DST aimed to reduce evening use of incandescent lighting (formerly a primary use of electricity[6]), modern heating and cooling usage patterns differ greatly, and research about how DST currently affects energy use is limited or contradictory.[7]
DST clock shifts sometimes complicate timekeeping and can disrupt meetings, travel, billing, record keeping, medical devices, heavy equipment,[8] and sleep patterns.[9] Software can often adjust computer clocks automatically, but this can be limited and error-prone, particularly when various jurisdictions change the dates and timings of DST changes.[10]

Pastor Impregnates 20 Members of His Congregation and Claims the Holy Spirit Told Him to Do it
“The pastor claims to be obeying prophetic/spiritual injunction to do the will of God, which is to impregnate any one chosen and revealed by the Holy Spirit, irrespective of whether the woman is married or not,” said Amaraizu.
“When the woman is delivered of the baby, the child remains in the ministry with the mother for life,” he added.
According to a Vanguard report, Ngwu was reported to the police by his estranged wife, Veronica Ngwu, who got tired of his lascivious behavior after he impregnated her young niece.
A brother of the pastor, who did not want to be identified, told Vanguard that he had been warning Ngwu and his family about his behavior for a long time but he refused to listen. The arrest, he said, was God’s wrath falling on his brother.

Ethiopian Airlines woos the corporate traveller with two new incentive schemes
Ethiopian Airlines woos the corporate traveller with two new incentive schemes
Ethiopian Airlines is enhancing its
offering to the UK business travel market with an improved business
class product and the introduction of two new programmes designed to win
loyalty among corporates and individual business travellers flying with
the airline on business.
UK business travellers who regularly fly with Ethiopian are invited
to join the new ‘’Corporate Bonus Program’’. Through this scheme both
the business and employee, will benefit every time an employee of the
company travels. When an employee who is a member of Ethiopian’s
frequent flyer programme (ShebaMiles) travels with Ethiopian they will
accrue 100% of the miles associated with their route. Companies that
have opened a Corporate Bonus Account will also earn additional miles.
These bonus miles will be calculated in relation to the frequency of the
company’s travel with the airline.Miles that are earned can be redeemed for flight tickets or upgrades (subject to the miles requirements of the programme).
In addition to the new Corporate Bonus Programme Ethiopian is also introducing a new "Corporate Incentive Programme". This will offer incentives in the form of upfront discounts or cash incentives at the end of the deal or in the form of complimentary tickets. With both schemes businesses can continue to have their travel needs managed through their own dedicated travel management companies.
Business passengers can also make the most of priority and online check-in, extra baggage allowance, fast track through security where available and full lounge facilities at a selection of airports globally. For those departing from Addis Ababa Ethiopian’s inflight catering provides authentic Ethiopian cuisine in addition to the regular inflight meals providing executive passengers with a taste of genuine Ethiopian hospitality. For executives needing to travel between Addis Ababa, Dublin and Los Angeles, a new route serving these destinations, three times weekly, commences in June. Addis Ababa serves as a hub for over fifty African destinations so connecting the west coast of the USA, with the continent of Africa.
