Clinton and Trump prepare for Tuesday primaries in five states
By Daniel Contreras / Monday, 25 Apr 2016 09:23AM
Candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump prepared on Sunday to a new crucial round of presidential primaries. On Tuesday, Americans will vote in five Northeastern states, including Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland and Delaware.
The Grand Old Party front-runner Donald Trump said on Saturday he had a "great day campaigning in Connecticut". He later added he was heading to Maryland on Sunday. By contrast, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz abandoned the five states he previously visited and started his campaign in Indiana, which votes on May 3.

As soon as John Kasich is hit with negative ads, he will drop like a rock in the polls against Crooked Hillary Clinton. I will win!
On the other hand, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders gathered with thousands of voters in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the country. This week, he said he had no intentions to drop the race after Clinton prevailed in all five New York boroughs.
"If Secretary Clinton is the nominee — and we're not giving this thing up, we're going all the way to California — but if she is the nominee, I would hope that she puts together the strongest progressive agenda," Sanders said on ABC's "This Week" before heading to voters in Providence, capital city of Rhode Island.
Clinton has made no mention about Sanders, her main target appears to be Donald Trump
Clinton, who has been conducting a discrediting campaign against Donald Trump in Social Networks, expects that primary elections in the five states mark a "turning point" in her path to be the Democratic nominee. If she wins four or five states on Tuesday, she could gain a relevant advantage against Sanders.
The former secretary of state visited on Sunday morning the Philadelphia church service, which is mostly attended by African-Americans, in the context of the Pennsylvania primaries, which is the most important state of Tuesday's elections, when considering population.
Clinton has avoided attacks towards Sen. Sanders and has focused on criticizing GOP front-runner Trump. She said that "rhetoric from Trump and Cruz is "not only offensive", but also dangerous, adding that they are are "denying the fundamental tenets of democracy".
We all know Donald Trump says offensive things about women. Here's what he says about policies that benefit women.https://t.co/YMV0rvwFnf

Her Tuesday triumph in New York has put her a few steps closer to obtaining the necessary amount of delegates needed to secure the nomination. The five states that will vote this week offer 384 delegates when counted together, said The Washington Post. If she continues winning the Democratic primaries, she would only need about 200 delegates in the coming weeks.
By contrast, Polls predict that Trump could considerably surpass Cruz and the Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Texas Sen. did not refer to the Tuesday's elections when he was campaigning on Sunday in Indiana. Instead, he said Trump's campaign was based on "yelling, screaming, cursing and insulting".

Coping up with a String of Calamities on a Pandemic – the Batangas experience
THE worldwide outbreak of the coronavirus disease (CoVid-19) is undeniably a source of unexpected stress and adversity for many people. Resilience can help us get through and overcome hardship.
But being resilient to any calamity, manmade or natural, is easier said than done. That's why people respond to stress and adversity—like that from the CoVid-19 pandemic—differently.
For the people of Batangas, coping with the stress and all impacts of the pandemic may be uneasier than other people in the region. It is because even before the outbreak of CoVid-19 pandemic, the Batangueños were already bracing up against the perils of the different calamities that struck the province ahead of the corona virus.
Thus, this piece discuss the difficulty of people coping up with the string of calamities that struck the province of Batangas, having been aggravated by the pandemic.
Just a month before the first case of Covid-19 was recorded in the country, Taal Volcano erupted in January 2020. Thousands of families were evacuated. Hundreds of families lose their homes, the land they till for a living, the plants were much of them get their food, and even their domesticated animals.
People living around the volcano are still recovering from the massive fishkill that hit the fisherfolks of Taal lake. Changes in weather system caused the fishkill and more fisherfolks experienced another blow, the loss of their source of living. Hundreds of tons of bangus and tilapia died then.
Children were almost forced to stop studying as most schools in different town around the Taal Lake were almost buried to ash fall or some of the buildings cracked and dilapidated, while other schools outside the 7-kilometer danger zone were converted into evacuation centers.
Respiratory problems among the residents increased due to ash fall, reason why the Batangueños are the first communities to have adjusted to wearing a face mask even before the CoVid pandemic started.
As of Jan. 19, 2020 some 55,000 animals, including chickens, goats, cows and horses, have died since Taal eruped on Jan. 12, the Department of Agriculture (DA) reported. Volcanic ash blanketed some 17,000 hectares of land in the Calabarzon area, affecting 16,000 farmers and fisherfolk.
The total damage to agriculture in Calabarzon reached P3.2 billion as of Jan. 19, Agriculture Secretary William Dar said.
The DA hopes to still reach its growth target of 2 percent this year with a "catch up plan" from other areas that could compensate for the losses in agriculture in the Calabarzon, Dar said.
While thousands of families were still in evacuation centers, the first case of Covid-19 in the province was recorded in March and a week later, the whole country was placed under State of National Emergency.
More lives have been inflicted with the deadly virus. As of 3:00 o'clock in the afternoon of November 30, the DOH-Covid Tracker reported that Batangas hit a total of 66,018 confirmed cases. Of these cases, 63,180 have recovered and only 205 remain active.
The pandemic has claimed the lives of at least 2,633 Batangueños including a municipal mayor, doctors, other public officials and frontliners.
Before the year 2020 ended, the trio typhoons Quinta, Rolly and Siony brought much havoc on the Batangueño families, making the pandemic almost unbearable. Hundreds of houses shattered. Bridges and seawalls collapsed. People living in coastal areas were hardly hit as typhoons made several landfall in the province. Evacuees from the previous calamities filed up.
With more evacuees away from their homes, still there were many feeding their hogs in intervals and the African Swine Fever struck to most of the piggeries in the calamity stricken communities.
While on evacuation centers, those who have their animals left in the areas within the 7-kilometer danger zone have to sneak in behind police checkpoints in order to feed their animals. Scarcity of resources to buy animal feeds forced them to feed their hogs with food leftovers from restaurants outside the province. This scenario led them to another calamity that equally hit the hog-raisers – the insurgence of African Swine Fever (ASF).
ASF in the province were first detected in Laurel and Agoncillo towns, also the tows hardly hit by the Taal Volcano eruption. After more piggeries were affected, the evacuees coping up with the impact of volcano eruption has to brace for another catastrophic incident. Their animals have to be culled.
Batangas recorded its first ASF case in the municipality of Laurel last February 2020. Batangas served as the pilot area for the biosecurity measure program called "Bantay ASF sa Barangay" or BABay ASF.
Batangas is a vital pork-producing province as it serves as the No. 1 supplier of pork to Metro Manila, according to the DA. With the freedom status of the six localities, only 12 areas in Batangas remain classified as ASF-infected zones.
Batangas's pork output reached a record-high of 189,169.38 metric tons in 2019, before ASF hit the province. Pork output in the province last year declined by almost 15 percent to 161,189.85 MT, based on Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) data.
Much have to be done to recover. Local government units spearheaded the construction of isolation facilities for covid patients, while private sector volunteers are teaming up with their own covid response efforts.
In one instance, even on holidays, Congressman Marvey Mariño and Batangas City Mayor Beverly Dimacuha wasted no time to ensure that the city government is relentlessly doing its mandate to keep the city responsive to the impacts of the pandemic.
After inspecting the final phase of the construction of the Batangas City Public Library and Information Center, said officials make a round of inspection too to the Smarthouse facility that are being readied for COVID-19 patients.
The city government has spent millions of pesos already in the CoVid-19 response, from food and medicines of Covid-19 patients and operation of isolation facilities. These smarthouse, upon completion will surely ease the bleeding funds for operation of private properties being rented by the city as isolation facilities.
While the availability of covid vaccine is still a big question during that time, the city government of Batangas has appropriated P200-million for the purchase of the vaccine should it become available.
The local government is targeting to inoculate 380,515 residents against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as projected population for 2021 according to the Department of Health (DOH).
Batangas province also welcomed returning OFWs and other patients in different hotels and resorts in province which the government has converted into isolation facilities.
For the repatriated and or distressed overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), the provincial government have continuously releasing P5,000 financial assistance for every applicant. They may either be those who have return tickets to their employees but were cancelled, those whose country of destinations were on lockdown or those who were forced to go home as a result of their company closure and loss their jobs.
While people are forbidden to go out and more businesses were forced to close shop, thousands of workers in micro, small and medium enterprises lost or nearly lost their jobs. While only those workers whose employees have their businesses enrolled with the Social Security Services (SSS) and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) received their two tranches of Special Amelioration program (SAP), still more workers and owners of variety stores, small-size shops and business were left almost empty-handed. To aid them, more local government units (LGUs) implemented a no-penalty policy for delayed or non-renewal of business permits.
Losing a job or closing a small business also affects small earners pay their amortizations or experience more delays in paying taxes. To aid them, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Batangas passed an ordinance extending the effectivity of the 15% discount in the payment of real property taxes (RPT) in the province. The discount which is normally effective on the month of January each year was extended until the end of February to allow the paying individuals cope up with their budgeting constraints.
In Lipa City, just recently, the farmers received a total of P20,052,436 intervention from the Department of Agriculture IV-CALABARZON (DA-4A).
This is part of the P813,813,000 intervention fund distributed as portion of Taal Rehabilitation and Recovery Plan for farmers of Cavite, Laguna, ang Batangas who were greatly affected by the Taal Volcano eruption.
"Patuloy tayong magtulungan at magsikap, sapagkat ito ang susi upang patuloy tayong makabagong mula sa mga pagsubok," said DA-4A OIC-Regional Executive Director Vilma M. Dimaculangan who led the distribution of the intervention fund.
Included in the non-cash intervention were 4-wheel tractor, garden tools, knapsack sprayer, pruning materials, and shredder.
"Labis kaming nagpapasalamat sa DA-4A dahil at talagang sapul pa noong una ay hindi sila tumitigil sa pagsuporta sa aming mga magsasaka," said Antonio Mojares, kasapi ng Samahang Magkakape ng Lipa.
"Before the year end, we will ensure the full distribution of indemnification fund to all hog raisers who were greatly affected by the African Swine Fever (ASF). This is the guarantee that the government is not remising its promise to our farmers," Department of Agriculture IV-CALABARZON (DA-4A) OIC-Regional Executive Director Vilma M. Dimaculangan shared during the distribution in Laurel and San Jose towns last November.
The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has already released the indemnification fund for hog raisers who sacrificed their hog-raising business when the Department of Agriculture implement the depopulation of the piggeries in the ASF affected communities.
The DA has already released P226,931,000 amount of indemnification for 6,871 affected hog raisers in the region.
Earlier this year, the DA has started the release of the indemnification assistance amounting to P79,350,000 to some 536 hog raisers in the town of Taal, Cuenca, Nasugbu, Laurel, San Jose, and San Juan, all in the province of Batangas and in Lucena City in the province of Quezon.
There are at least 1,417 hograisers in the region who will also receive the same assistance from the government.
"Masaya ako dahil tinupad ng DA ang kanilang pangako na babayaran ang aming baboy. Handa na kaming magsimula uli sa aming babuyan dahil may gagamitin na kaming puhunan, [I am very happy that the DA fulfilled its promise of indemnifying our hogs. We are now ready to start again raising as we have now the needed capital]," said Sofia D. Rodriguez, a hog raiser from Barangay Buso-buso in Laurel town.
As an added assistance to the hog raisers, Regional Director Dimaculangan maintained that all of the new hogs will be insured to the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation (PCIC) where the raiser will receive P10,000 for every fattener or P14,000 for every inahin should there be another resurgence of ASF.
Calamities come and go. And people have different approach to cope up with the stress and anxieties brought by different calamities that come along their lives. But for Batangueños who were hardly hit by a string of calamities punctuated by the CoVid-19 pandemic, life must go on.|

Packers have 'more room out there' on offense
Green Bay's defense "starts and ends with our energy and effort"
Mike Spofford
packers.com senior writer
Head Coach Matt LaFleur
GREEN BAY – The various injuries that have hit the Packers' offense haven't slowed it down much.
Through eight games, other than roughly five quarters of play – the last three at Tampa Bay and the final two vs. Minnesota a couple of weeks ago – Green Bay has been pretty tough to stop despite rarely being at full strength.
But full strength may soon be on the horizon.
The Packers got Aaron Jones back last week at San Francisco. Fellow running back Jamaal Williams came off the reserve/COVID-19 list to practice on Monday. Left tackle David Bakhtiari and receiver Allen Lazard are also back at practice and could return soon after missing three and five games, respectively.
What all that means for an offense ranked seventh in the league in yards and third in points will hopefully be revealed as the second half of the regular season gets underway this week with a home game vs. Jacksonville.
"I think there is more room out there for us," Head Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday following a short practice.
"There's no such thing as the perfect game and I think there's just more out there for us to continue to grow, develop. So yeah, we're really excited about those guys potentially getting back into the fold."
The restful weekend following last Thursday's win at San Francisco was to "recharge that battery" with no more breaks between now and the end of the season. Should the Packers make the playoffs, they'll need the No. 1 seed in the NFC to get a bye, otherwise they'd be playing again right after the regular season concludes.
"We need everybody fresh and energized," LaFleur said, adding that the goal of Monday's workout was to get through any sluggishness in order to start sharp in Wednesday's prep on Jacksonville.
"I can't stress enough the importance of having positive energy for everybody involved in this thing as we hit the second half of this season. We're sitting in a pretty good spot right now at 6-2."
Energy was the buzzword for LaFleur on Monday, as he applied it specifically to the defense as well, which sits in the middle of the league statistically (11th in yards allowed, 17th in points) but has struggled to maintain the level it desires.
Perhaps two turnovers against the undermanned 49ers last week, which brought the season total to just six, will provide the spark the defense is looking for. The unit's inconsistent tackling has mirrored the up-and-down play overall.
Health-wise among front-line players, cornerback Kevin King (quad) plus linebackers Christian Kirksey (pectoral, IR) and Kamal Martin (COVID list) are back at practice, but corner Jaire Alexander (concussion) is currently sidelined.
"I think it always starts and ends with our energy and effort," LaFleur said of the defensive side of the ball. "I think when our guys are out there flying around, having fun, bringing great energy, straining for one another, when they're swarming ball carriers, I think that leads to a lot of positive plays.
"Certainly there's been times where it's been really, really good and there's been times where it quite hasn't been to that standard."
At 6-2, the Packers are currently tied for the best record in the NFC with Seattle and New Orleans, while three other teams (Tampa Bay at 6-3, Arizona and LA Rams at 5-3) are within one game of the top trio.
In the NFC North, Green Bay sits two games up in the loss column on 5-4 Chicago with both games against the Bears remaining. In the NFC more broadly, the Packers have already played the Saints and Buccaneers and don't have any more games against the current contenders.
But they are playing the top two teams in the NFC South – Indianapolis and Tennessee – in the coming weeks. The tough NFC West also has a lot of head-to-head battling to do, as Seattle and Arizona play once more, while the Rams play both the Seahawks and Cardinals twice each.
"I think it's anybody's opportunity to go out there and snatch it," LaFleur said. "We just gotta make sure that we focus on ourselves and attack each day."

Gaggenau is een historisch Duits motorfietsmerk.

Gaggenau begon met de productie van motorfietsen in 1925, het jaar dat juist meer dan 150 kleine Duitse merken de productie staakten. In tegenstelling tot de meeste merken, die inbouwmotoren bij andere fabrikanten inkochten en zodoende goedkoop konden produceren, bouwde Gaggenau eigen, robuuste 346- en 396cc-tweetaktmotoren. De overlevingskansen voor een dergelijk klein bedrijf waren niet groot en in 1927 moest men de productie beëindigen.

HBO's 'The Leftovers' is Literally the Best Show You've Never Heard Of
Eric Italia | May 13, 2019 6:00 pm
The Leftovers, what I consider to be the best television show I've ever seen, is quickly fading both out of my memory and into obscurity, meaning that if I ever want to meaningfully write about it, it's truly now or never.
When the Damon Lindelof-helmed The Leftovers began on June 29, 2014, I had been watching "prestige TV" for a while, starting with, ironically, Lindelof's Lost
. But of all the shows I've seen throughout my life — from the juggernauts like Lost, Breaking Bad, and The Sopranos, to the little guys like Peaky Blinders and Justified — The Leftovers provided the most wholly emotional experience of any television show, and frankly, any form of art I've ever seen.
That's why we invest in art: emotion.
Breaking Bad's inherent success didn't stem from its taut storytelling, but because you cared about, rooted for, and then eventually despised Walter White. People didn't adore The Sopranos because of the accurate depiction of mob culture — they loved it because, deep down, they were always rooting for Tony to get away. David Chase cutting to black was so impactful not because people needed to know what happened, but because they wanted Tony Soprano to live.
Sure, a plot twist here or a well-written soliloquy there provides the necessary excitement and edge-of-your-seat entertainment that all great shows require, but if you don't love the characters and the world, what's the point?
When it comes to The Leftovers, we're talking about a show that ended every single one of its seasons on the mere facial expression of a character. And you don't get away with that because you've been fooling the audience with timeline twists or blowing them away with witty Sorkin-esque dialogue. You get there because you've created characters that the audience genuinely loves, and to me, that's the point of the medium that is television.
So why write this now? Because it was snubbed from the Emmy's years ago and I'm still angry about it.
I'm normally not one who puts too much weight on award shows. Men like Joaquin Phoenix and Ed Norton have never won Oscar gold, yet anyone who knows anything about the industry will agree they're two of the greatest actors of their generation. Pulp Fiction & The Shawshank Redemption didn't win Best Picture, yet are widely regarded of two of the greatest Ameican films ever made.
My point is that award show success is just as much about luck and circumstance as it is about quality and craftsmanship. Any other year, a movie like Pulp Fiction or Shawshank would be a shoo-in for Oscar gold, they only just so happen to run into Forrest Gump. Some of the greatest NBA players of all time — Barkley, Stockton, Malone, Ewing, Mullin, Wilkins — never won a ring because they just so happen to be playing in the Michael Jordan Era, not because they weren't special.
And so it was– The Leftovers went into the TV afterlife without any award recognition and will exist solely as a blip on the pop cultural radar.
That doesn't mean it wasn't the greatest television show ever made.

UWC to honour Imam Haron with honorary doctorate
16 September 2014 • News, VOC News	• 1 Comment
The University of the Western Cape (UWC) are set to honour the late Imam Abdullah Haron, by posthumously awarding the former struggle veteran with an honorary doctorate on Wednesday evening.
A well known anti-apartheid activist, Haron was considered one of the most prominent local scholars of the day, and was strong in opposing the injustices of the apartheid government. He died whilst in police custody in September 1969.
Fatima Haron Masoet, the late imam's daughter, said her family were truly humbled by the honour, especially since it came in the same year Haron was posthumously awarded the Order of the Luthuli in gold, considered one of the country's highest honors. The award was issued in recognition for his contribution to raising awareness to political injustices during the Apartheid era.
"We are truly humbled, and words can't describe how we feel at this point in time," she said.
She said there was a mixture of satisfaction that his contributions were being recognized, but also a sense of anger because the late imam was not able to personally receive the doctorate.
The recognition from UWC comes in light of the 45th anniversary of Haron's tragic passing. Haron-Masoet said it was a historic moment for the university to celebrate 'the legacy and life of a hero to a nation'.
"He tried to live an exemplary life through just living simply, and understanding and believing in the human rights situation," she said.
Although grateful for the honour, Haron-Masoet said it was vital that the contributions of such individuals were recognized whilst they were still alive.
"We need to recognize people today for what they do, and not wait for them to pass on before we recognize them," she said.
She also expressed gratitude to the individuals who had played a pivotal role in bringing about this 'remarkable and historic moment'. VOC (Mubeen Banderker)
Miqdad says:
It is surely a blessing that Imam Haron is remembered and honoured by so many in post-Apartheid South Africa. I do hope that many of those who now walk in the shadow f the martyr remember that it is people in Qibla who kept his memory alive. In fact, the Qibla people and those who carried his name at every meeting and march, with banners and stickers were accused of making cheap political capital out of the name of the martyr. Most Muslims did not want to associate with Imam Haron's memory. It invited trouble from the state because you got teargas in your eyes and throat or a baton on your body if you were lucky. Otherwise you ended up in prison. Pamplets, posters, stickers and banners were banned as soon as they reached the public. Many masajid, in fact most of them, also banned the Qibla bulletin on Imam Haron or anything to do with the struggle. Yes Imam the martyrs are alive says the Quran. You saw those who walked in your footsteps and those who, some elegantly and others rather clumsily, sidestepped your path. They took a beating or two over the years. Today those people are forgotten and marginalised. But Imam Haron, you know whose hearts were beating with yours. Many should hang their heads in shame because they emerged after Apartheid had ended. To claim your mantle. Yes Imam, why do they say that which they did not do?
For those who have been marginalised if you want to know here they are, just continue searching where the people are organising. The struggle is continuing. You will find them there. They are still doing the work that Imam had done. The work of a martyr is never complete. For justice always lives precariously.


Robert Talbert (Grand Valley State University) recently posted an article titled "We need to produce learners, not just students" on his Casting Out Nines blog that really resonates with me. In the article, Robert expresses what he feels is the goal of higher education and states in general terms how an educator can get on the path to achieving this goal.
There are so many wonderful nuggets in the article. Here's one of my favorites.
I even care about this more than students' grades. In my mind, and I think in the minds of most people who employ my students later in life, if you graduate from university and don't have the skills or dispositions necessary to teach yourself new things for the rest of your life, it doesn't really matter what your GPA says: You're not educated. And if I shepherd a student through the university without putting them in a position time and again to hone these skills and dispositions, it doesn't matter what my title or my course evaluations say: I'm not an educator.
This quote summarizes exactly why I started incorporating inquiry-based learning (IBL) into my courses. IBL is not a magic bullet, but the experiences that I have had watching students transform into independent learners is why I am so passionate about it. I want students to have life-changing experiences! Learning the content of mathematics is just a bonus.
Robert ends the article with the following statement.
But it doesn't matter whether we use the flipped classroom, IBL, PBL, or what-have-you — what counts is whether we are training people to be able to learn on their own. Doing education without this in mind is just irresponsible.
If you haven't already, please go read Robert's article.


Watch here for notice of upcoming cleanups and restoration events conducted by I Love a Clean San Diego and Surfriders.
Revegetation work parties are held from November through March each year from 9 am to noon unless otherwise noted. Meet south of the Ladera parking lot. Additional work parties can be planned for volunteer organizations.

Shakari Connection Bookshelf, Issue #001
Shakari Connection Bookshelf Newsletter
Issue 002 | 24th February 2011
The Shakari Connection Bookshelf Newsletter brings you the latest additions to the African hunting bookshelf.
I've just finished reading 'Black Poachers, White Hunters: A Social History Of Hunting In Colonial Kenya' by Edward Steinhart which I found very disappointing. He references many of the classic African hunting books by the likes of Bell, Stigand, Neumann and Akeley and has drawn his own strange conclusions about the hunting motives of these men. Steinhart says 'It is the purpose of this book to examine the history of hunting during Kenya's colonial era from the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century.' However the historical facts are laced with the author's barely disguised disapproval of safari hunting. He also casts his modern 'politically correct' opinions on the characters of Bell and Stigand rather than seeing them as men of their own times.
On with this month's book selection....
First off, if you feel so inclined, grab a copy of
Kai Uwe Denker's book Along the Hunter's Path while there is still one available at AbeBooks.
The author is one of Africa's most respected professional hunters, born in Namibia and grew up hunting both for himself and for clients in Namibia, Mozanbique, Cameroon and Tanzania. He was the first professional to hunt in Bushmanland (East Kavango). Through his pioneering efforts, that blank on the map in the middle of nowhere has yielded some of the finest trophies in recent years. Elephant, lion, leopard, buafflo, rhino plus bongo, greater and lesser kudu etc. The middle of the book is entirely on elephant hunting.
Those who enjoyed Bruce Kinloch's The Shamba Raiders: Memories Of A Game Warden may enjoy his latest autobiography....
Tales From A Crowded Life by Bruce Kinloch (2008) is an interesting account of the author's life, from his childhood in India and at school in Britain to his wartime career as an officer in the 3rd Gurkha Rifles where he served on the North West Frontier and subsequently through the Burma campaign. The last part of the book concerns his time in Africa, some fishing, game preservation and his work establishing the College of African Wildlife Management beneath Mount Kilimanjaro. A fascinating account of both war in the Far East and the period of transition of British East Africa to independence.
Hippo hunters may pick up a few tips from the next book by Oliver Walker
The Hippo Poacher by Oliver Walker (1967) is the biography of Tom Dunn, 'the most notorious hippo poacher in Zululand', son of John Dunn, King Cetewayo's white Prime Minister and a Zulu princess. Tom's colourful adventures take place during a vanished era, before the white man's sugar-cane and timber came to dominate the free-hanging bush. Oliver Walker's sympathetic narrative recreates the green Zululand of footpath and kraal and of the abundant big game that enabled Tom Dunn, a true nomad, to wander at will.
For the African history buffs is the classic book by Donald R Morris
TheWashing Of The Spears: The Rise And Fall Of The Great Zulu Nation by Donald R Morris (1965) is the definitive account of the bloody and tragic story of the rise of the Zulu nation under the great ruler Shaka, and its fall under Cetshwayo in the Zulu War of 1879. For over a century after the European landing at Capetown in the 17th century, the Boers advanced unopposed into the vast interior of Africa. It was not until 1824 that Europeans came face to face with another expanding and imperial power, the Zulus - the most formidable nation in black Africa. That confrontation ignited a prolonged struggle, which culminated in a bitter war, the last despairing effort of Africans to stem the tide of white civilization. The result was a dramatic, legendary and bloody defeat at Isandhlwana for the British; the aftermath was the defeat and fall of the remarkable Zulu nation. The Zulus challenged the might of Victorian England, and armed only with their spears, their rawhide shields and their incredible courage, they inflicted upon the British the worst defeat a modern army has ever suffered.
Bill G Yung's book is a must for anyone wanting to hunt Africa. He tells it like it really is and will have you laughing out loud.
TheHalf Fast Hunter by Bill G Yung (2010) is written by a novice hunter and describes the pursuit of adventure that hunting provided for the first 70 years of his life. It provides insight into the animals hunted, the geographical variations of the countries hunted, the culture and the personalities of the people encountered.
For a bit of an unknown quantity but with a lovely lurid 1960s cover, you could try....
Facing Danger In The Last Wilderness by Doug Allan (1962) is a collection of stories from previously published sources on hunting and exploration in Africa
Last but not least this month, there is Ellis Christian Lenz's book about an old time hunting safari in Tanganyika.
Rifleman's Progress by Ellis Christian Lenz (1946). Lenz recounts the 1932 safari to Tanganyika by noted marksman L R Canfield. While two-thirds of the text revolves around shooting matches at Camp Perry and other locales, the final third details Canfield's hunts after rhinoceros, buffalo, lion, oryx and other game in the Great Rift Valley.

Saudi Arabia: Government agents infiltrate Wikipedia, sentence independent admins to prison
Saudi Arabia jailed Wikipedia contributor Osama Khaled for 32 years.
Written bySMEX
Posted 10 January 2023 3:33 GMT
Read this post in Malagasy, Español, বাংলা, русский, English
By Wikimedia Foundation, CC BY-SA 3.0. Fair use
This piece was first published by SMEX and DAWN, an Arabic media platform, on January 5, 2023, and is independent reporting that contains their own understanding and conclusions. An edited version is republished here, under a content-sharing agreement.
The Saudi Arabian government infiltrated Wikipedia by recruiting the organization's highest ranked administrators in the country to serve as government agents to control information about the country and prosecuting those who contributed critical information about political detainees, said SMEX and Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) today. Following an internal investigation in 2022, Wikimedia terminated all of its administrators in Saudi Arabia in December. DAWN and SMEX documented Wikimedia's infiltration by the Saudi government based on interviews with sources close to the company and the imprisoned administrators.
"The Saudi government's infiltration of Wikipedia with government agents acting as independent editors, and imprisonment of non-compliant editors, demonstrates not only its persistent use of spies inside international organizations but the dangers of attempting to produce independent content in the country," said Sarah Leah Whitson, DAWN's Executive Director. "It's wildly irresponsible for international organizations and businesses to assume their affiliates can ever operate independently of, or safely from, Saudi government control."
Wikipedia relies on varying ranks of volunteer administrators and editors, referred to as "Wikipedia users," authorized by Wikimedia, the parent company of Wikipedia. Users are not employees of Wikimedia and do not receive any compensation. However, Wikimedia has established the Wikipedia community rules to grant them privileges as trusted, independent editors who self-regulate and administer content on Wikipedia. Administrators have exclusive authorization to use tools to edit, delete, and protect content pages (meaning no one else can edit them), and to block and unblock lower-ranking users and editors. To learn more about the different user access levels on Wikipedia please visit this page.
"Infiltrating Wikipedia is another example of the Saudi government's ongoing efforts to control online information and knowledge production in our region," said Mohamed Najem, Executive Director of SMEX. "It's distressing that the Saudi government's efforts to spread misinformation about its abuses has now breached as trusted and credible an international platform as Wikipedia."
According to sources with knowledge of the matter who spoke to DAWN and SMEX, in September 2020, the Saudi government arrested two high-ranking Wikipedia administrators in Saudi Arabia, Osama Khalid and Ziyad al-Sofiani on the same day, charging them with "swaying public opinion" and "violating public morals." The Specialized Criminal Court, the country's counter-terrorism court used to prosecute political detainees, sentenced them in the summer of 2020 to five and eight years in Al-Haer prison in Riyadh, respectively. Sources close to the case told DAWN that the government prosecuted them because they had contributed information deemed to be critical of the persecution of political activists in the country.
The Specialized Criminal Court increased Mr. Khalid's sentence to 32 years in September 2022 for the same charges in what appears to be part of a broader campaign to impose harsh additional sentences against political detainees.
"It's despicable but entirely predictable that the Saudi government has prosecuted Saudis merely for posting content about the government's human rights abuses," said Raed Jarrar, DAWN's advocacy director. "But Wikimedia also needs to take responsibility for the fact that its authorized editors are today languishing in prison for work they did on Wikipedia pages."
Wikimedia appears to have acknowledged the infiltration and banned its editors in the country, but without providing any details. On December 6, 2022, Wikimedia announced that it had banned 16 users for "conflict of interest editing" following an internal investigation it had commenced in January 2022. Sources with knowledge of Wikimedia's operations revealed to DAWN and SMEX that the ban was against 16 Saudi users, Wikimedia's highest ranked editorial team in the region, following its discovery that they were serving as agents for the Saudi government to promote positive content about the government and delete content critical of the government, including information about political prisoners in the country. The identities of the 16 Saudi administrators appear listed on Wikimedia's global ban page, indicating their ban on December 6, 2022.
Wikimedia only cryptically referred to its investigation but did not disclose the location or identity of the banned users or any details about the "conflict of interest editing" it had uncovered:
"[o]n December 6th, 2022, the Foundation undertook 16 global bans to users who were engaging in conflict of interest editing on Wikipedia projects in the MENA region," and that "[i]n January of 2022, the Foundation began an investigation into alleged conflict of interest editing on Wikipedia projects in the MENA region. In that investigation, we were able to confirm that a number of users with close connections with external parties were editing the platform in a coordinated fashion to advance the aim of those parties."
Wikimedia should make public the results of its investigation, disclose all of the pages the team based in Saudi Arabia edited, and subject them to independent review and analysis. It should conduct an internal review of all of the pages edited by administrators based in authoritarian regimes and issue warning labels that the content may be subject to government infiltration. Wikimedia should also review its reliance on administrators in countries where freedom of speech is limited and independent writing severely restricted, and reexamine the extent to which such administrators are themselves subject to the risk of prosecution.
The Saudi government should disclose its efforts to influence and control the content on Wikipedia, the extent to which it pressured or rewarded administrators based in Saudi Arabia to produce content to the government's specifications, and release those prosecuted or sentenced for their role in posting content in Wikipedia.

Thriving in EMEA with All-Flash Technology
As Pure expands its suite of solutions supporting data-centric architectures, we're leading the charge for rapid adoption in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA)—our best-performing region in four of the last six quarters. We asked EMEA team members to share their perspective about being part of the Pure team.
"I came here to learn, but I didn't realize it would happen as quickly as it did. The culture enables people who come in with a growth mindset."
Why did you decide to join Pure?
Alex Lambert, system engineer: The technology is the best in the market. It was an opportunity to take my career to the next level. I'd worked for a competitor for four years and learned a lot, but I was stagnant in my role. Joining Pure gave me a chance to grow and gain confidence, which I got in spades.
Harjyot Sihera, marketing programs manager, global accounts: One of the big draws for me was the team's ambition around account-based marketing. But I joined for the people, too. Early on, I remember thinking, "Is this for real?" It sounded too good to be true, but the people here are incredibly skilled and so nice.
Joe Lewendon, southern EMEA recruitment manager: Pure is the real deal. I first started working with the company as an outside recruiting agent. In that position, I saw first-hand where the best people were going—it was to Pure. Great people attract other great people. I was so inspired by the team here. It was an honor to join full-time.
What are the opportunities for career growth at Pure?
Alex: I came here to learn, but I didn't realize it would happen as quickly as it did. The culture enables people who come in with a growth mindset. We have a program called Elevate where you learn critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the power of introspection, self-awareness, and empathy. After I went through it, I realized I wanted to pursue management as my next step, and I transitioned into a team-leader role.
Marika Lilla, account executive for financial services: I joined as a systems engineer and moved into the account executive role a few months ago. I was able to move up quickly in part because I've had support from every level and team. Our CTO has happily agreed to meet with potential customers several times to help me close sales.
Joe: I've seen so many people like Alex and Marika promoted or move into new areas. We bring scalable people into a scalable business. We're in a stable place as a company, but there are still so many untapped opportunities where you can come in and contribute beyond your original role.
Tell us about some ways you've made an impact here.
Alex: Four years ago, we lost a potential customer in part because they felt like Pure wasn't mature enough. They were looking for things like user groups and forums—a community presence. We pioneered a brand-new digital platform to roll out a U.K. user group. Being able to kickstart that initiative showed me that the company will back you if you have a good idea.
Harjyot: I've only been here a few months, but I already feel like I'm making a real contribution. The team laid a foundation for account-based marketing and I get to run with it and build upon it. It's exciting to have seasoned professionals asking for my advice. We all have great respect for one another.
Joe: We not only get opportunities to make a difference, but we're recognized for our contributions. When we decided to launch a new support team in Dublin, we had to hire at least 10 people before it could open. I teamed with a handful of colleagues and we made it happen together. Recognition can come in many forms.
Why is this an exciting time to join the team?
Alex: We've been innovators from day one. Pure was and continues to be a disruptive technology. We've always led the way and had a lot of firsts. Now we're moving into the next wave as an entire data platform. This new level of growth comes with a different set of challenges, but it's a nice problem to have. There's so much happening that someone new can be a part of Pure, even more than when we first came to market.
Joe: It's especially exciting to be at Pure in EMEA right now. We're getting results and doubling our addressable market. The work we're doing here is driving a lot of the strategy for all of Pure. As Alex said, I think we're just getting started. We've opened up new markets, but we're not satisfied. It never gets stale and it's never boring. It's like a new company every year.

If your dog's ears are dirty, they need cleaning. If they are smelly as well as dirty, there almost definitively some kind of infection present, and your dog's ears will need to be cleaned and disinfected. Delayed treatment of infected ears will make the problem worse.
Here's information on how to pick the proper ear cleaning product to treat your dog's ears.
There are many dog ear cleansing products on the market. You want to look for a solution that will not only clean your dogs ears, but also penetrate deep into the ear and eliminate the source of the infection. We recommend EcoEars®. Besides being extremely effective at cleaning and eliminating infections—effective enough to be backed by an unconditional, 1-year money-back guarantee—it is all natural, too.
You should be aware that other products for cleansing a dog's ear include chemicals such as Dioctyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate, which is a is a strong irritant for the eyes and lungs. Another chemical that is added to many ear cleansers is Propylene Glycol. The federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry reports that people and animals who have repeated eye, skin, nasal, or oral exposure to propylene glycol for short times can develop skin irritations. Another ingredient to look for is added fragrance, which is unnecessary and can irritate the delicate inner ear, along with various dyes that may be added to products.
Vet Organics' dog ear cleansing solution, EcoEars, is formulated with a broad spectrum of powerful but all-natural ingredients, including Rosemary Extract, Witch Hazel Extract, Organic Mullein Extract, and Tea Tree Oil. Each one targets a specific type of infections. This means that EcoEars works to cure the vast majority of dog ear infections. It is successfully used on dog ear mites, fungus, yeast infections, and a wide range of bacteria that cause ear infections.
Using EcoEars will lower the pH in your dog's ear slightly. Used as preventive measure when the dog's ears are dirty, the ear environment becomes much less susceptible to recurring irritation and infections.
A dog's ears are quite sensitive. For the most part, dog's ears do not need intervention. Only clean your dog's ears when they appear dirty under the flap or fold, or become smelly. After you've used EcoEars to treat an infection, you'll find it easy to use whenever necessary, taking just a few minutes a day.
There is no risk. If EcoEars doesn't work on your dog, we offer a 100% no-questions-asked, money-back guarantee.
It's easy to clean your dog's ears and get rid of the infection for once and for all. Just click the Order Now button below and we'll have EcoEars on its way to you in 3 business hours or less.

The 48-year-old actress who was married to Ben Affleck, with whom she shares three children Samuel (8), Seraphine Rose Elizabeth (11) and Violet (15). The two were married for nearly 10 years before getting divorced in 2018.
Appearing on an interview for TODAY with Hoda and Jenna on Tuesday, Jennifer Garner gushed about her elder daughter Violet turning 15. She said, "My daughter is 15 today," as host Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb exclaimed heir surprise. When Kotb asked her, "Wait, you have a 15-year-old?" Garner replied, "Can you stand it?

The host Hoda Kotb also asked Jennifer Garner what she will do if Violet approaches her with the subject of dating. "All I know is she's on Zoom school, she goes to an all-girls school — we haven't had to deal with that yet," Garner said with a laugh. She also gushed that she's "full of all the feels today my daughter's birthday! It's more than I can handle!"
Last year during a panel at INBOUND, an annual conference held by HubSpot in Boston, Garner said that she is relaxed her parenting. "I can't really complain about my kids. They're pretty awesome. They humour me. But I have chilled out and stopped trying to be my mom."
Meanwhile, Ben Affleck, who is currently dating Ana de Armas, said during a screening of his movie The Way Back that Violet likes to "tease" him over his use of emojis and group chat ability. He said, "My daughter is so funny, she teases me, she's 14 and she's like, 'Why do they let you on this group chat? You don't know what you're talking about. Don't pretend you have any idea what's going on."

Making coffee with a plunger? Sure, at first it might seem a little intimidating (if not weird—aren't plungers for toilets?). But although a French press requires a little bit more effort than basic drip or a Keurig machine, it's way easier than you think. Trust us: If you can put a pod in a contraption and press a button, you can brew a fantastic cup of French press.
And it's totally worth waking up the few minutes earlier to make. Because the coffee grounds are immersed directly in the hot water during brewing, French press tends to be richer, smoother, and overall more flavorful than most other methods. "There's no paper filter involved, which really allows the oils and flavor in the coffee beans to come through," says Chad Moore, a Starbucks Global Coffee Engagement team member.
Ready to brew the best java you've ever tasted? Follow this simple step-by-step guide from coffee connoisseurs and start sipping.
Coffee is 98 percent H2O, Moore says, so make sure your water tastes pretty darn good. Still, delicious doesn't have to mean fancy. "If you want to use tap water, the real rule of thumb is to drink it first. If it tastes OK to you, go ahead and use it," says Shawn Steiman, author of the forthcoming The Little Coffee Know-It-All. Tap leaving a bad taste in your mouth? Opt for filtered or bottle water instead.
2. ...and really, really fresh coffee beans.
Flavor-sealed containers or bags. Unopened ones are airtight, so the beans inside will stay good until their expiration date (usually about 32 weeks after packaging). Once opened, though, the beans will start to lose flavor after about a week.
Unsealed containers or bags. If you're buying beans in a package that isn't air-sealed (like a paper bag), look for the roast date. Anything roasted more than a month ago probably won't be very fresh, Moore says.
Bulk bins. Bulk coffee beans can be fresh—but the roast date isn't always listed, and the beans are exposed to more air since people are constantly opening and closing the bins. If you're not sure whether the bulk coffee you want to buy is fresh, speak up! "If you ask a purveyor when the coffee was roasted and they can answer with specific detail, there's a good chance the coffee is decent," Steiman says.
You'll get the best-flavored java by grinding your beans right before you brew them. "If you cut into an apple, it starts to oxidize and turn brown. Coffee beans do the same thing, you just can't see it," Moore explains. But watch that grind: The grounds used for drip coffee are way too small and risk clogging a French press filter. Instead, think big. "You want pieces the size of small breadcrumbs or a little smaller than Kosher salt," Steiman says.
4. Break out the measuring cups.
When it comes to the ideal coffee-to-water ratio, it depends how strong you want your brew. Between 18 and 20 grams of coffee (about a heaping tablespoon) per eight ounces of water is a good place to start, says coffee industry consultant Andrew Hetzel, who leads training courses for the Coffee Quality Institute. Like it bold? Moore recommends using two tablespoons of coffee per six ounces of water. "If it's a little too strong, you can always add more hot water to your cup," he adds.
5. Bring the water to the right temp.
Place the coffee grounds in the bottom of your French press, and pour about a third of the water over top. Let everything sit for about 30 seconds, then give it a gentle stir, Hetzel says. This makes sure all of the grounds are fully saturated with water so you get a flavor-packed brew. Add the rest of the water and place the lid on your carafe with the plunger pulled up all the way.
Again, it's a balancing act. Brew too short, and your coffee will taste thin and sour. Too long, and it'll end up bitter or astringent. For the best flavor, Hetzel and Moore recommend letting your coffee brew for four minutes. Though if you like your coffee stronger, you can let it go for as long as six, Steiman says.
When your timer buzzes, gently but firmly press the plunger all the way down. "Too much pressure can cause the hot coffee to spray out of the carafe and onto you," Hetzel says. Yowch!
If you're drip person, you're probably used to brewing a big pot of coffee, pouring some into your mug, and letting the rest sit around all morning. But anything that's left in a French press will keep brewing since the grounds and the water are still mingling in the carafe, and after a few minutes, it'll turn bitter. "If you have any leftovers, pour it into another mug or thermos. Or brew less next time," Steiman says.


Day two of LJFW madness and I opted for this Bastet Noir jumpsuit (click here) which meant I was feeling like a princess for six straight hours. I don't know what is it about this satin silver-blue jumpsuit that makes you seem elegant but at the same time you feel comfortable, like you're wearing your "stay at home" sweats. Since I had to keep some of the current trends in mind I added this Zara belt bag. Not completely sure if I'm feeling this "belt bag trend" situation, but it was fun to try at least something new, hehe.
But the item I'm 100% feeling are these New Yorker glasses for 7 euros that keep saving my outfits (not that this outfit is boring at all, dooh).
So as you may have guessed, day two of Ljubljana Fashion Week was more or less successful, if we pretend that these shoes weren't killing me, my legs aren't made for heels I swear. Nevertheless, I'd rate the day 8,5/10 = cute shows, cute people, comfortable outfit, not so comfortable shoes (but at least they look damn fine).
I feel like I'm almost back to regular posting so I can say with confidence - talk to you soon!

Anyway, I have been complaining to you all about how much my hair is in bad condition (I really need to man up and chop some of it off but I can't bring myself to do it!) so when I received this lovely bunch I was over the moon.
The Cleanser and Rebalancer (Shampoo and Conditioner) are specifically designed for use in colour treated hair in order to replenish and protect for a more vibrant look. The packaging is gorgeous, definitely 'Salon' inspired and very sleek, I also love the fact they are called 'Cleanser' and 'Rebalancer' they seem so much more professional. Price point wise, they fit in comfortably with other 'Celebrity Hairdresser' product lines.
Guy Kremer is someone I've never actually heard of before now, but I have learned that he is an internationally renowned hairdresser who has received numerous awards and accolades in both a hair design and business respect, he has even worked with the likes of Alexandra Burke and Edith Bowman!
The Cleanser was odd to use, it didn't foam up like I'm used to with my current products, this isn't a good or bad thing in my opinion just a little strange(!). It distributed well and left my hair feeling really clean. It does nothing special but it is a good shampoo nonetheless. The consistency is much like a serum, a lot more runny in comparison to other products and silky in texture.
The Rebalancer on the other hand is very cream like and looked so remarkably like a moisturiser. It was GORGEOUS in the hair. My hair combed through so easily and it still felt soft and sleek when I rinsed it out. I get so disappointed in products that only feel nice when they're in the hair, and have no actual benefits when it comes to altering the texture of the hair.
The stand out product for me was the Protection Serum. It smoothed EVERYTHING out and gave my hair a lovely glossy look, which is difficult to achieve when you have blonde hair, and the smallest amount works wonders. I used this when my hair was wet and then once I had blow-dried and styled it and my hair still felt weightless and natural. Love, love, love this product!
I'm on the fence when it comes to the Body Booster Spray. Whilst it did add volume to my hair it made my hair difficult to blow-dry. It did gave me real 'Salon' results in the end but it took a while to get there. I do have a lot of hair though, so this would probably be perfect for you girlies with fine hair in need of a boost.
The whole line smells like essential oils (believe me this took me a while to put my finger on!)and the scent lingers in the hair, which is absolutely beautiful not overpowering in the slightest. As for the results, I am very happy with them. My boyfriend actually asked if I had been to the hairdressers and said that my hair looked so 'healthy and shiny'. It must be good if a boy noticed!
Running my fingers through my hair now, I can really feel the difference in it, it is smoother and feels less dry in the most damaged areas. My split ends(eek!)are also visibly smoothed out and less noticeable.
I would definitely recommend the serum to anyone who has damaged hair as you can instantly see and feel a difference and definitely check out the rest of the line here. It contains Cleansers & Rebalancers for dry hair and for hair lacking volume along with styling products and a perfume gloss spray which sounds very intriguing and if it smells like the rest of the line, absolutely gorgeous!
Are you tempted to check out any of the Guy Kremer line? The Guy Kremer Professional Salon Style line launches with an extended airing on the Ideal World Shopping Channel on August 24th, 2011 (www.idealshoppingdirect.co.uk), but the products are available both in the Guy Kremer salon and via the website www.guykremer.co.uk.
