United Buddy Bears, Plaza San Martín, Buenos Aires
A rather novel idea: bear statues, each decorated independently by an artist on the theme of a country. Called the United Buddy Bears, they are touring the world and spending a few weeks in Plaza San Martín in Buenos Aires.

Floralís Genérica, Buenos Aires
This is simply a gigantic metal flower which opens and closes in response to the sunshine.
Designed by Eduardo Catalano, and built with the help of Daimler, it was gifted to the city in 2002.

All zero dates, mysql, and jdbc
Posted by Bricky in Programming on April 3, 2009
Cannot convert value '0000-00-00 00:00:00' from column N to TIMESTAMP
Familiar? This problem arises because ‘null’ dates in MySql are generally represented as ’0000-00-00 00:00:00′, which, while valid in MySql, are completely forbidden in jdbc.
There is a wonderful workaround however, simply add the zeroDateTimeBehavior parameter to the end of your jdbc url as follows:
jdbc:mysql://hostname/dbname?zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull
And that’s it, zero dates will be converted to nulls and jdbc will be happy.
