Three words--its so to the point. "Eat," and this is the "ideal diner" to do it. The Ideal Diner opened in 1949 and is one of the last of its kind in Minneapolis.

The San Diego Zoo is a zoo in Balboa Park, San Diego, California, housing over 3,700 animals of more than 650 species and subspecies. Its parent organization, San Diego Zoo Global, is one of the largest[better source needed] zoological membership associations in the world, with more than 250,000 member households and 130,000 child memberships, representing more than a half million people. The San Diego Zoo was a pioneer in the concept of open-air, cageless exhibits that re-create natural animal habitats. It is one of the few zoos in the world that houses, and successfully breeds the giant panda. In 2013, the zoo added a new Koalafornia Adventure exhibit, providing an updated Australian animal experience. Another new exhibit, called Africa Rocks, opened in 2017.
It is privately moderated by the nonprofit Zoological Society of San Diego on 100 acres (40 ha) of Balboa Park leased from the City of San Diego, and ownership of all animals, equipment and other assets rests with the City of San Diego. The San Diego Zoo is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), and a member of the Zoological Association of America (ZAA) and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA). San Diego Zoo Global also operates the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research.

San Diego; Spanish for "Saint Didacus," is a city in the U.S. state of California on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, approximately 120 miles (190 km) south of Los Angeles and immediately adjacent to the border with Mexico. With an estimated population of 1,419,516 as of July 1, 2017, San Diego is the eighth-largest city in the United States and second-largest in California. It is part of the San Diego–Tijuana conurbation, the second-largest transborder agglomeration between the U.S. and a bordering country after Detroit–Windsor, with a population of 4,922,723 people. The city is known for its mild year-round climate, natural deep-water harbor, extensive beaches, long association with the United States Navy, and recent emergence as a healthcare and biotechnology development center.
San Diego has been called "the birthplace of California". Historically home to the Kumeyaay people, it was the first site visited by Europeans on what is now the West Coast of the United States. Upon landing in San Diego Bay in 1542, Juan RodrÃguez Cabrillo claimed the area for Spain, forming the basis for the settlement of Alta California 200 years later. The Presidio and Mission San Diego de Alcalá, founded in 1769, formed the first European settlement in what is now California. In 1821, San Diego became part of the newly declared Mexican Empire, which reformed as the First Mexican Republic two years later. California became part of the United States in 1848 following the Mexican–American War and was admitted to the union as a state in 1850.
The city is the seat of San Diego County and is the economic center of the region as well as the San Diego–Tijuana metropolitan area. San Diego's main economic engines are military and defense-related activities, tourism, international trade, and manufacturing. The presence of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), with the affiliated UCSD Medical Center, has helped make the area a center of research in biotechnology.

We had dinner here tonight.
I'd seen a photo of this sign in another Flickr Members photostream (Phydeaux460) and was intrigued by the place. So much so that I decided next time I had a few free days off work I was going to head up that way and check it out. We didn't go just for this reason but it was part of a 4 day road trip I was able to put together. It was however one of our "must do" stops and we'd hoped we'd make it there around dinner time (we did).
Anyway, when we got there, there was a bit of a line. No problem, that can only mean the food is worth waiting for. We were told it would be a 20-25 minute wait. No problem. I wasn't thrilled though that they guy at the counter would not take my name, he just said "don't worry, I'll find you". After a few minutes, I decided to wait near the register so he'd have to stare and me and remember I needed to be seated. He eventually said "so you have four right"? Uh, no, just three. "Oh, Okay, you can sit there" (which tells me he'd have probably forgotten about me had I not been right there where he had to look at me).
We then sat down. The place was somewhat what I expected, older looking, a bit of a dive, but in a good way. The plastic chairs were not much to sit in, but what can you expect for an old place, right?
The waitress came right over and gave us menus and took our drink order. I was rather surprised looking at the menu when I saw the prices. For a dive, the prices were far more than I'd expect (Ravioli dinner was just under $20). When the waitress brought back my drink, a diet Coke, it was a glass of ice and a can (I assume that means no refill - and there wasn't).
Though the prices were a bit more than we expected, we decided to suck it up and go for it since we were there. The dinners include bread, salad and desert, so why not.
I'd read on the internet that they had a special salad and it was supposed to be quite good. It was brought in a bowl, over filled with two more bowls turned upside down on top (serve yourself style). Interesting for sure, I was fine by that. It was pretty decent, just greens mixed in Buddy's own creamy Italian dressing. A little less dressing would have been better, but it was decent. We also had our choice of bread, garlic or cheesy garlic. We got one of each and they were both great.
I decided I had to try the ravioli since that's what the sign says. I figured it must be the specialty. The menu and the waitress both told me it would be a 20-25 min wait as they were prepared for each order. No problem there. And it took just about that long to arrive. It didn't seem too bad though having salad and bread to eat in the mean time.
My wife had the spaghetti and I the ravioli with meatballs. The meatballs were really good, the ravioli, not so much. It's not that it was bad, it was just nothing to write home about. The ravioli shells were a bit thick for my liking and they had way too much sauce on them (my wife said the same about her spaghetti).
When we finished, the waitress came over and asked if we'd like desert. My wife asked, "the dinners come with desert, right?" The waitress said "no". So we passed on dessert. However, both me and my wife would have sworn the menu said it did. We really didn't care as neither of us really wanted anything, but our daughter was looking forward to eating ours. We're not really the type to argue, so we didn't. However, when we got back to our room, I looked at their menu on the Internet and it clearly states that the dinners include bread, salad, coffee and desert.
Overall, the experience was just so-so and we got screwed out of desert. Again, I didn't care, but at $20 a plate, I sort of cared. I didn't walk out thinking it was terrible, but if I was in the area again, I'd surly not go back. I'm sure for $40 I can find a far better meal elsewhere.

For years now, China has been the main partner for reconstruction in Angola. Chinese companies build roads, railways, bridges, schools, and hospitals. They are also laying a fiber-optic network and training Angolan telecommunications workers. In order to sustain its booming growth, China looks for new partners providing the raw materials it needs. Chinese and angolan governments signed a cooperation agreement in 2006, providing free rates loans and other funds in exchange of angolan crude oil. Sonagol, Angola's state oil company, agreed on a long term supply of oil to China's Sinopec oil company. Indeed Angola is the first oil producer of sub-saharan Africa. In January 2007 Angola became a member of OPEC. By 2010 production is expected to double the 2006 output level with development of deep-water offshore oil fields
In the first quarter of 2008, Angola became the first supplier of oil to China.
Nevertheless, it seems the majority of the population does not benefit of this flow of cash, Angola remaining one of the poorest countries in the world, and being ranked 146 out of 162 at the Human Development Index, and with half of its population living under the poverty line.
International community (actually western countries), international organizations (like the IMF) and NGOs like Transparency International for example, criticize the financial support of China, which they accuse of being regardless of how the money is used, in one of the most corrupted countries of the world. All the more as the aid from Beijing allowed Angola to turn town a fund’s proposal from the International Monetary Fund, which would have been granted under the condition of effective monitoring of the money’s use.
