Jambur - An African Village In India
Jambur is a village of about 5000 people in the Junagadh district of Gujarat. For several centuries it has been home to a Siddi community. The Siddi are people of African origin who have lived in India for several centuries. There are also Siddi communities in Karnataka, Hyderabad and Pakistan. It is thought that they first arrived in India in the seventh century with more coming as part of the Arab invasion of 712. Some came as merchants and sailors whilst others were brought to India as slaves.
There are no accurate figures for the total number of Siddi living in India and Pakistan with estimates varying enormously from 270,000 to 4 million. The vast majority are Muslim but there are also small groups of Hindu and Christian Siddi. The Jambur community are Gujarati speakers with no memory of African languages. They have adopted local dress and identity as Indian.

"Take as many pictures as you want"
During my recent time in India I was able to visit Jambur to meet and photograph some of the people. The village is similar to other rural Gujarat settlements with small single storey homes, a few shops and life lived in the narrow streets. My first visit was in the early evening when people were enjoying sitting outside and talking to their neighbours whilst their children played. People were welcoming, happy to talk a little and the children curious about this unexpected visitor. The villagers were happy to be photographed. Immediately I arrived a woman who sat having her hair plaited by a friend invited my companion to make a video of the process and told me to take as many pictures as I wanted! The young people were particularly interested in the camera and some of them asked for pictures in different poses. A few proud parents also came forward pointing to their children indicating that they would like me to photograph them.
As well as visiting the village I was introduced to two prominent members of the community who told me their own stories and spoke about the current issues facing the Siddis of Gujarat. Siddi Babu Nathubhai lives in nearby Sasangir and was born locally. He studied to grade seven at the state school and unlike many local children did not attend the Madrassa, the Islamic school. He spoke affectionately about his younger days saying that his school was integrated and that he enjoyed his time there. His father worked as a labourer but Siddi Babu trained as an electrician and obtained work in Mumbai. Unfortunately a serious problem with his leg prevented him from being able to carry out the full range of tasks and so he had to leave his job and return to Gujarat. After coming back to his village he studied for and passed exams to qualify as a guide, specialising in wildlife.
Falaluddin, a young man of Jambur
"Happy"
Hirabaiben Ibrahimbhai Lobi (Hiraben) is perhaps the most prominent Siddi woman in India. Born in Jambur, her parents died when she was just 14. Married young, her husband like her father believed in women's equality and they worked side by side on their small patch of land - just 0.5 hectare. They inherited a huge debt of 100,000 rupees but refused to sell the land, preferring instead to work to pay it off. They listened to radio shows together and it was from this that she learned about and decided to begin producing organic compost. Wanting to start a business making and selling the compost she looked for other women to work with but initially could find only one taker. In the first year they managed to produce 160 bags. The following year this increased to 500 bags with nine women involved and a small profit being made. There are now 95 women organised into 12 groups that produce and sell organic compost. Hiraben believes passionately in the importance of education and although she is willing to take on and train any woman interested in her project she will only retain and promote those who also study. Today most Siddi girls are educated to grade ten or twelve.
Over the years, this kindly, reassuring woman has led a number of projects to promote health and hygiene within her village and she reports that these principles are now widely adopted amongst the Siddi. More controversially she has also promoted birth control as a way of helping women in particular to have a better life and to be able to provide for and look after their families. Her commitment to education and learning is something she returned to frequently throughout our meeting. None of her own family were literate and she is determined that this will not be the case for current and future generations of Siddi. Some years ago a playschool was set up in Jambur but few parents were willing to take their children. Worse than this, the school building was subject to vandalism. In despair, the teacher came to Hiraben to ask for help. Her intervention led to the school being respected and many more children attended. It was with obvious pride that she told me her own grand daughter attends an English medium school.
She also continues to work tirelessly to better the position of women in her community. This includes helping them achieve financial independence. Thirty years ago no Siddi women had bank accounts. Now several do but only because she helped them set the accounts up, going to the bank with them to help deal with officials. That said, she is keen to ensure that the women become self reliant and able to help each other and so has established a self-help group to encourage this. Her work has been recognised by the great and the good and she has a cabinet full of awards as well as pictures of her with various politicians, multi-millionaire Mukesh Ambani and Bollywood superstar Amitah Bachchan. None of this is for her personal gain and it is clear that her only interest is in promoting the well being of her community.
Hiraben
A young man of Jambur
I asked both Siddi Babu and Hiraben about issues currently facing the community. Both of them spoke about employment and the need for greater ambition amongst the younger generations. The Siddi have traditionally worked in agriculture, construction work and other manual jobs. Tourism now offers other opportunities and the chance to put traditional knowledge of plants and wildlife to good economic use. However much of this work is seasonal and many young men involved in tourism return to labouring out of season. Women are mainly employed in agricultural work. Siddi Babu also spoke about social problems, particularly with drugs and alcohol - problems that also affect other areas of Indian society. He sees tourism as a good thing for the new opportunities it brings but also has concerns that too many visitors could be a problem citing the relatively "easy money" from this work as an issue. Most visitors come to this part of Gujarat to see the wildlife. I was astonished to hear that I am one of just a handful of people who have been to find out about the culture and daily life of the community.
I also asked about knowledge of African culture and tradition and if there is a memory of these things in Jambur. Both Siddi Babu and Hiraben told me that although people know they are of African descent, there is no real knowledge of African culture. The only remaining tradition is a particular dance, the Dhamal, performed by some of the young men and which is related to nature. There has been no systematic recording or documentation of Siddi culture. I was especially interested in this subject because when photographing some of the children they repeatedly said (in English) "say Africa, say Africa" seemingly in the same way some people like to say "say cheese". It was explained to me that this comes from a TV advertisement for motorcycles which includes a reference to Jambur being 100 kilometres from Junagadh and describing it as "Africa in India".
A woman of Jambur
Some Siddi are now becoming well known in non traditional fields. Siddi Babu proudly told me that one community member represents India at judo and another plays soccer at national level. Researching this article I also came across Abdul Rashid Qambrani, a Pakistani Siddi who represented his country in boxing at the 1996 Olympics. Still in Pakistan, Noor Mohammed Danish is a well known Urdu poet. Social change is also happening. More women leave the village now to find work whilst marriage with non-Siddi partners has begun to happen - although always within the same religious group. Hiraben is happy with these changes but wants things to improve more quickly.
Visiting Jambur and meeting the Siddi was a very special experience. I was touched by the easy acceptance of my visit, helped to a large extent by my being in the company of a young community member and I was honoured to be welcomed into the homes of Siddi Babu and Hiraben. It seems appropriate to give her the final word "I dream that not all Siddi will be labourers and that one day a young person will knock on my door and ask for help to become an engineer".

We work in two key areas to help clients grow their top-line through customers: firstly, by creating category visions; secondly by developing model store and range solutions for different format types.
Sellex offers a combination of consultancy, software tools and training to help clients build world class "Revenue Management" skills within sales. Projects are typically focused on customer pricing and discounts and/ or, Trade Promotions Management.
Whether working with clients to optimise their field sales coverage solutions, or implementing a training academy to build contemporary customer management skills, Sellex can have a dramatic impact on the effectiveness of sales overhead.
Trade Promotions Management (TPM) is a minefield. As a cost in the P&L, TPM spend is now typically second only to Cost Of Goods, and ROI is often questionable. We work with clients to diagnose current performance, to develop a strategy and guidelines, and then to implement a process and a fully integrated TPM software solution, to optimise the effectiveness of spend on a long term basis.
In our view, every FMCG business should have a standard list price and a structured set of customer discounts that support the category, customer and supplier agenda. Few brand owners disagree, but the big barrier is finding a route from the current situation to the desired end game. Sellex focuses heavily on this transition and supporting its implementation to deliver tangible P&L impact.
Bottling a consistent, engaging story that clearly explains the category opportunity, and which levers to pull to exploit it, can have a big impact internally and externally. It provides a longer term, more strategic context to daily operations, and provides a foundation that all customer proposals and negotiations are built on.
To win across a variety of formats, from traditional "big box" stores to convenience outlets or hard discounters, brand owners need a clear and detailed view of what outstanding execution looks like, based on shopper insights and market data. Specifically, shopper-based category range modelling can make a huge difference when working through range reviews with retailers.
Field sales is all about choices: segmenting the market into chunks of stores, and developing a coverage plan that puts the right resource in the right place on the right frequency, in order to achieve the desired objectives. Our process and modelling tool allows clients to iteratively develop the coverage plan to its optimum.
The Sellex Customer Value Academy is a competency-based, set of 7 contemporary Sales training modules, covering everything from customer influence to channel strategy to winning JBP's. Clients can either tap into this generic resource, or we can work with you to tailor the core concepts to your business, so that you have your own, branded Sales Academy.

WELL! I didn't say you people had to use the Constitution I just said it as a idea. You people could have said no. But you people basically told me to fuck off. You people thought I was stupid and ignorant because I typed about five paragraphs of the Constitution. But you people agreed with W'rkncacnter who has a picture of the pope and under that says the pope forced me to post this with his one paragraph description of the current system he calls "THE LORD". With a penis shaped building, a window house, and, a triangle...W'rkncacnter just renamed everything. The Netsplit only has two people in it. And the Netsplit doesn't even do anything to send a idea to RyokoTK or Appleswitch. And for the Supreme Clique...there is no Clique. The Pfhorums is weak because it is divided. Almost everyone changes to the side that sounds better and funnier. So isn't that a bit ignorant? It is ignorant to make your selfs and everyone else believe that you people agreed with W'rkncacnter because you people think he's right but actually you people just agree with him just because you people don't like me. And talking about keeping your fingers up and making people guess which ones are up is kind of stupid everyone. So that means everyone who agreed with W'rkncacnter is ignorant.
So that means ALL YOU PEOPLE who AGREED WITH W'RKNCACNTER ARE STUPID, AND THAT MEANS HE'S IGNORANT, AND THAT MEANS ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO AGREED WITH HIM ARE IGNORANT TOO! So I'm not ignorant which makes me not diluted. YOU ARE.
Ignorance creates the deluded.

Damn, man. Just Damn. Look at you guys. Bitching and arguing about this mess of pseudo-government. Either you guys take this site way too seriously or I don't take it seriously enough. This shit has got to end. It's impeding the original intent of the site and tearing it to pieces.
I understand most of you are trying to help, and I appreciate that. I know I'll sound like a hippie when I say this, but can we stop tearing each other to pieces on the Pfhorums and do it instead in Marathon? I don't want to stand by as the Pfhorums to degrade into the majority of the shitheap that is the internet.
To everyone: lay off Ryoko. I remember reading somewhere that W'rk said something to the extent of: "I know him personally and he's been going through some really tough shit lately." Don't forget he's a person with just as many problems as the rest of us. Plus, he has to put up with us. If you can't respect that, do the rest of us a favor and leave.
To Ryoko: Although I've only the vaguest rendering of your predicament, do you have to be so damn cynical? Please don't take your problems out on us. I can understand your point of view in your arguments, but can you just show that you can see things from our side every once in a while?
To Alan: as stated above, I appreciate your efforts. As far as I've read, you've done the most to try and get things back in new order.
As for the 3 branches of government, it is too difficult for normal people to comprehend in real life, let alone an internet board.
-Zott
Although I agree with Zott, and have a general distaste for bureaucracy, if you and Irons ever do somehow manage to get something working, lemme know. Although up till now I'd probably say that we are hardly normal people, mostly everyone here has proven otherwise. Some change around here would be nice, just don't overdo it and Animal Farm us.
Perhaps Ryoko could make someone else a temporary admin and ryoko not use his admin powers for a week. Then we could figure out if ryoko is really the problem or if the community is the problem.
-Packard20
An interesting proposition, to say the least. Reminds me of how whenever a new president takes office, critics of the old one (kids my age who blindly hate the president, to be more specific) rejoice, but yet inevitably come to loathe the new one just the same... So I must ask: Why not? Packard never got a direct answer. New administration may not be necessary, it could just be individuals f'ing it up for the rest of us. Or maybe we're just a bunch of pathetic warmongers.
drop all shit that happend, start a new circle. past misstakes, forget them. try to get along without hatred between eachother. respect the admins desisions, and most inportant, RESPECT EACHOTHER EVEN IF YOU LIKE/DISSLIKE THEM.
behave.
-Cryos
Well said. I'd also like to add that if you aren't mature, at least try to act so. Let's behave like gentlemen, not children.
I think everyone missed the point of this thread. Basically, Nobody (the guy that posted before me) loves you Alan. Let's move on.
Aww, hell. Nice to know someone still has a sense of humor.
Maybe you've noticed Alan, but very few people are taking you seriously.
The main problem with the pfhorums isn't the "clique" as (zephyrus?) put it, but the people who constantly complain and contribute very little or nothing to the community. Thankfully for those people, Ryoko hasn't banned them yet, which is surprising seeing as how he is totally out of control with power and banning people on sight.
Alan, maybe (as Nobody said) you SHOULD just lay off this whole thing, it isn't getting us anywhere, in my opinion, even if it is fairly entertaining. If you read the original topic (Nobody loves me), even if you ignore everything Ryoko said, Ashakanar still looks pretty dumb. The ironic thing is, most people I see complaining about the community benefit almost nothing to it, while I rarely see people like Treellama, Ryoko and other people who contribute a lot to it complaining, and they certainly don't start topics about it. If you make a significant contribution to this community, Alan, and people bitch at you about it, then maybe you can come complain.

Or how about we all just shut up. Seriously, the biggest problem with the Pfhorums right now is that everybody seems to feel like whining about the so called big problems with the Pfhorums right now. This is not real life, people. Get over it.
This is the way the Pfhorums basically works: you're not a dumbass, things work at pretty well. You are a dumbass, things don't work out too well. Not too bad in my eyes.
Windbreaker wrote: Because it is stupid and ignorant to type about five paragraphs of the Constitution on an internetz forum.
Not if it's relevant. If we somehow got to talking about politics (real politics, not internet popularity contests), it would be perfectly relevant.
Alan, the problem here is that the Constitution is not at all relevant to this topic. All internet forums are by technical necessity dictatorships (except for UseNet which is pure anarchy incarnate); the best you can hope for is a benevolent dictatorship. So proposing a 'forum government' modelled after a real-world democratic republic like the US is just a non-sequitur. It can't be done because nobody here has any power besides the person who physically runs the box this thing is hosted on (AppleSwitch) and the people he has delegated power to (Ryoko), and there's absolutely nothing that anybody could ever possibly do, even in theory, to change that, no matter how much we all agreed that we wanted it changed.
That is the nature of all internet forums: participate in them if you like the way they're run, or don't if you don't. If a forum sucks sufficiently, everybody will leave it and it will die; if not, it will stay, and if you don't like it you don't have to go there. There are still other places too; and it's a free internet, you're welcome to make your own forum if you don't like any of the options that exist now.
Postscript: All motions to the effect that we all STFU about this whole thing are hereby seconded.

Did you read his post? Even if it were relevant, it reads like the view of a ninth grader who just learned about the US government in civics class. It isn't much more than a bizarre adaptation of an oversimplified understanding, which he simply posits should be used here, without any submission of possible benefits, as if we are just to take it for granted that a rather dated, purposefully inefficient system designed to govern a literate, small agrarian society, could somehow be adapted ideally to run THE PFHORUMS.
No, if I can assume Windbreaker was speaking to this 5 paragraphs in particular, it's hard to argue with his description. The best you could do is try to make it sound nice, give him the benefit of the doubt--"not well thought out and naive." But, frankly, why bother?

Cause I like to be a nice guy and give everybody a fair hearing, even if they are just blabbing nonsense; unless they're aggressively blabbing nonsense in an authoritative tone and really ought to know better if they were as educated as they claim to be, e.g. a lot of postmodernists. But I'm assuming that Alan is a kid, and I don't want to discourage his interest in political science by blasting him for trying to apply it here, even if it is completely non-applicable.
Windbreaker. You don't have reasons. You just say things like because it is. Like how typing five paragraphs is ignorant just because it is. I think you should shut up and everyone else should be allowed to talk. Except you.
So... do you people want to think of a different system or do you have some other idea other than a system?

Ok I'll just for get about this and hope for a good leader, that probably won't come. A person who is smart and open minded to every side of every story and doesn't over use the power. But I can only hope. Oh well no matter how much I talk about it, it won't change the Pfhorums.
Oh and I'm in the 7th grade people and I learned the Constitution when I was in 4th grade. I'm 13. And why is it that everyone I know who is a guy who gets to this age starts wearing black dark skateboarding cloths and tries (And sometimes does) gets high from energy drinks, or cigarets (AND I'VE SEEN 'EM!), and tells everyone that they masturbate and talks about or reacts sexual images with people that are only a little funny with other guys! I'm 13 and you people don't see me telling everyone that I masturbate or I think about rape and calling everyone who doesn't think about rape fags just like everyone else in my school!

Alan, no one is taking you seriously because you are the only one that thinks there's a problem with the current system.
While I do applaud you for adding humor to the pfhorums, I think you should post a little less often, or the whole pretending to be stupid thing will get old really fast.

I assumed it was the former, and I was going to correct him myself but I'm stealing internet from work until I get home next month so I'm too rushed to do things rightly right now.
Alan: if you're saying that it's better that you're here doing this than out there smoking and being a REAL idiot with other people your age, then you're absolutely correct. A lot of the things you've said here are kind of nonsensical, but people should just politely correct you rather than making fun of you, and if I had the time I'd be here doing that. BTW, I think the word you're looking for is "deluded", not "diluted", i.e. ignorance breeds delusion.

2023 leaps into the Year of the Rabbit
By: Claire Barickman, social media editor
With the year changing to 2023 that also means that the Chinese Zodiac will be changing as well. This year will be the year of the water rabbit, starting on Jan. 22, which is the fourth out of the 12 animals that represent the Chinese zodiac. The rabbit in Chinese culture is seen as a symbol of longevity, peace, and prosperity.
According to legend, the order of the Chinese zodiacs was decided by who won the race to the Heavenly Palace. On the day of the race, Rabbit left before Ox in order to get a head start, even though they agreed to start together. When Rabbit noticed that there were no other animals around, he decided to lie down and rest. Little did Rabbit know the other animals had begun to race. Rabbit waking too late arrived at the Heavenly Palace after Rat, Ox, and Tiger. This resulted in the year of the rabbit being the fourth of the 12 zodiacs.
2023 is seen as a year of hope in the eyes of the Chinese zodiac. Let's hope that this year brings everyone peace and prosperity.

Alan Quotes
Growing up, I was obsessed with Disney movies like 'The Little Mermaid,' 'Aladdin' and 'Beauty And The Beast.' I was always singing the songs from these movies, so to find myself in the studio with Alan Menken was an amazing experience. In fact, it was a dream come true.

A smile is so sexy, yet so warm. When someone genuinely smiles at you, it's the greatest feeling in the world.
Smile Sexy You Feeling
My mom has always been my support system. She taught me to never give up and to keep pursuing my passions no matter what.
Never Give Up Me Support Mom
People who grew up watching Disney films like myself, there are films that are certain benchmarks in my childhood. 'The Little Mermaid' was the first movie I remember seeing. 'Beauty And The Beast,' 'Aladdin,' those are three I remember right off the bat.
Myself Beauty Childhood People
Pneumonia is a disease that often flies under the radar of not just the public but even the global health community. It kills more children under 5 years old every year than AIDS, malaria, and measles combined.
Health Children Community More
I'm lucky to attribute my success to the foundation my family gave me. I've always felt grounded in them.

Love is like nothing else on this earth, but only when it is shared with someone wonderful like you.
Love You Love Is Nothing
In 2009, I traveled to South Sudan with my organization PSI. While there, I visited a local school and met with a group of children who had formed a water club. The group learned about how to treat their drinking water and use proper hygiene practices, such as washing their hands before eating or after going to the bathroom.
Water Children Eating School
I travel the world visiting global health programs as an ambassador for the global health organization, PSI, and sometimes the disconnect I see is truly striking: people can get cold Coca Cola, but far too infrequently malaria drugs; most own mobile phones, but don't have equal access to pre-natal care.
Health Travel People World
I want to learn about a different religion. I grew up Catholic, but my grandfather was Jewish. Knowledge about other religions can help you understand your own better. I think it's kind of hypocritical to believe one thing and don't know about any others.
Knowledge You Religion Believe
When I was first starting out in the music industry, I was always coupled in the same sentence with Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera - and I was probably the worst of them. I think a lot of people back then thought, 'Mandy Moore... she'll probably go back to where she came from in a year.'

I like pencil skirts because they hug me in all the right places.

It's important to get well-rounded right off the bat. A lot of experienced dancers can get pigeonholed into one thing. I've been hired for a lot of different gigs simply because I can do a lot of different things with different levels of dancers. And it's sad to me that some dancers don't do more.
Sad Me Important I Can
I am not going to talk about my personal life anymore. You have to learn that lesson sometime.
Life I Am You Learn
If someone tied me down and made me answer the question, singer, actress, clothing designer, I most likely - it could change on any given day, but mostly likely I would lean towards singing. It's where I feel most like myself - on stage singing.

After HMAS Brisbane (III), a Perth class guided missile armed destroyer of 4,600 tonnes, commissioned in 1967.
On 26 December 1974, the day after Darwin was devastated by Cyclone Tracy, HMAS Brisbane's ship's company were recalled from Christmas leave and she 'crash' sailed from Sydney with HMAS Melbourne at 5pm on Boxing Day, carrying vital supplies to assist in what became known as Operation NAVY HELP DARWIN.
The Brisbane, together with HMAS Flinders, were the first RAN vessels to arrive off Darwin at 9am on 31 December 1974. She remained in the Darwin area until 18 January 1975.
The Brisbane was decommissioned in October 2001 and is now a dive wreck off the Queensland coast at Mudjimba.

Q: Load XML file with Ajax [Object Oriented] This is an example of my xml file, with <studentenhuizen> repeated multiple times:
<studentenhuis>
  <studentenhuizen>
    <adres>Aalbeeksesteenweg</adres>
    <huisnr>19</huisnr>
    <gemeente>KORTRIJK</gemeente>
    <aantal_kamers>14</aantal_kamers>
  </studentenhuizen>
</studentenhuis>

My object
function StudentenKot(adres, huisnr, gemeente, aantalkamers){
    this.adres = adres;
    this.gemeente = gemeente;
    this.huisnr = huisnr;
    this.aantalSlaapkamers = aantalkamers;
};

Load xml file:
$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    dataType: "xml",
    url:url,
    success: function (xml) {
        studentenhuis = new Array();
        $(xml).find("studentenhuizen").each(function () {
            studentenhuis.push(new StudentenKot(this.adres, this.huisnr, this.gemeente, this.aantal_kamers));
        });

        $.each(studentenhuis, function (i) {
            $(".studentenkoten").append("
" + studentenhuis[i].adres + "
");
        });
    }
});

When added to the
 it says "undefined".
This worked before, but it says [Object object] now
alert($(xml).find("adres"));

A:
this.adres - I confused it with json haven't I?

Yes, you have. This should've said undefined when alerting/stringifying it.

$(xml).find("adres") - it says [Object object] now

Yes, what find returns is a jQuery collection object which will get stringified to "[object Object]". You want:

*

*not the <adres> node (nor a jQuery collection with it), but its text content

*to search the current <studentenhuizen> node, not the whole xml.

So use
$(xml).find("studentenhuizen").each(function () {
    studentenhuis.push(new StudentenKot(
        $(this).find("adres").text(),
        $(this).find("huisnr").text(),
        $(this).find("gemeente").text(),
        $(this).find("aantal_kamers").text()
     ));
});

"A Woman Has Never Been President, Young People Have Been Head of State" – Presidential Aspirant, Remi Sonaiya
Estimated Reading Time: <1
After having retired from the academia in 2010 to pursue politics, she became Nigerian's only female presidential candidate under KOWA party in the 2015 presidential election.
Our guest is Remi Sonaiya, retired professor of over 30 years teaching French language and applied linguistics at the Obafemi Awolowo University.
NewsWireNGR's Ohakpougwu Chinwendu caught up with her to discuss her perceptions about elections in Nigeria, and expectations for the forthcoming 2019 election.
Read Excerpts of the interview…
Q: What informed your decision to contest in 2015's presidential elections?
A: I was sick and tired of being in a country where things were not working. I do quite a bit of traveling as an academic, attending conferences and constantly confronted with that issue of why do other societies run better. I finally got fed up with just writing articles about how bad our system is. I felt that we must have left our affairs in the hands of the wrong people in Nigeria, so I thought: do what you have to do – get into the fray.
Q: What was the reaction like when you told family and friends that you wanted to be president?
A: I did not have any negative experience at all. Members of my family were very supportive. I guess people knew that I cared about social issues and things like that. I was very happy to have good support, of course, it did not mean plenty of money but at least I had a lot of goodwill.
Q: How did you feel when eventually you didn't emerge winner of the 2015 presidential elections?
A: I did not consider myself as having lost anything. I was very happy that I did what I felt I had to do. Our sense of what failure and success means might sometimes be rather skewed. Maybe also it depends on what goals you set for yourself. I believed that I achieved far beyond what I could ever have imagined getting into politics.
Q: Since after 2015, what have you been actively engaged in?
A: In building a party and I tell you it is a huge, huge job. Why? Because our thinking about politics in Nigeria is so wrong. We think of politics as this dirty game they moneybags play, they get plenty of money- however, they get it only God knows but they use it to put into power the people that they want and the people play along with that. So when you go out trying to campaign and engage with people, they're thinking "Where's the money?" That's what we are used to: "Where's the money. What? You think this is just about talking? No, it's about bringing out the cash and then we will support you". So it is a humongous task that we have to turn things around in the country.
Q: In what ways have you been constructively criticising the current APC led administration?
A: I don't know if you realize that I am a very strong Twitter person. (Laughs). I make comments on the handling of issues, like the handling of the Chibok and Dapchi girls. We have just heard that some of the Dapchi girls have been released. I'm sure we are not going to get any details of what actually happened. We are running a very opaque system of government. So I do a lot of criticism especially about issues that those who are in government now, had themselves criticised. Mohammadu Buhari before he came into government, was quoted from various speeches as saying its a shame that Nigerian leaders will go abroad for medical treatment. What has he been doing since he came into power?
Q: Are there events that happened in 2015's presidential elections that if you had the power to change will not occur in next year's election?
A: Yes. For instance, President Buhari's refusal to take part in the presidential debate. Why should he refuse to take part? Is he not a candidate like any other person? Maybe people could say there is nothing in our constitution that requires that kind of thing. But, how would people get to know their candidates? During the Yar'Adua campaigns, hardly did we hear the man speak – it was Obasanjo that was speaking on behalf of the man. So, you're electing people that you don't know; you haven't had them speak, they have not engaged with you and you haven't had opportunities to ask them questions. What kind of a democracy is this?
Q: Over the years we have watched INEC conduct elections in Nigeria but it seems as though the same errors are made again and again. Are there improvements INEC should take into consideration ahead of 2019 elections?
A: I want a really electronic system. You know for instance I'm wondering what our ballot papers are going to look like for the next elections. If you have sixty-something candidates, I mean, what are we going to do for goodness sake, with printing a ballot paper. I was at a meeting in Abuja and we were being told that ours is nothing compared to (was it) Pakistan or something. Their ballot paper was like a mat. You would have to spread it on the floor and crawl to look for the candidates that you wanted to vote for. I mean, these are times that call for innovative ways of doing things. I think that this centralized system that we are running, for one thing, is a crazy system. It is extremely wasteful and indeed it is not even true to our name. We are called the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In what way are we federal? Everything is central. Whereas; if we really ran a federal system, there would be an opportunity for the different constituencies to find out the best structure that works for them. It makes no sense that elections will be carried out the same way in Victoria Island as in some remote part of the country. If Victoria Island wants to use the electronic system, that's alright. It makes no sense overstretching an area that doesn't even have electricity.
Q: Despite the activism, some in the polity still do not think the political outcome of 2019 presidential election will be any different from 2015. Do you think it will be any different?
A: I am not a soothsayer. (Laughs). I am not a reader of the future. I am not sure how well one can read the future. Look at what happened – who really thought that Donald Trump was going to win? It was almost like a foregone conclusion that Clinton would emerge president. So until something happens I'm not very sure. I think we should just wait and see if Nigerians understand that this is an important course of action. And then in different parts of the country, the feelings are different. That's very important to take into consideration. Are we all feeling the same way? So are we all going to vote in the same way?
Q: Most of the online polls conducted to show presidential candidate preference result in over 50% points for Muhammadu Buhari. Is this a reflection of the people's choice?
A: The people who are polled are those who have phones. We know that when it comes to voting, some of the voters are not on social media. Those are the things that skew up data for Nigeria because you're not sure what representation you're getting. A lot of people complain and yet you wonder whether the complaints are even enough to make them change their pattern of living. I don't understand why we voted Buhari. It's not as if we didn't know him. He's been there before. So somebody comes and says a few things and you vote the person? Nigerians know Buhari. I always said somebody who will promulgate a decree proactively which will end up killing people will not have a very good sense of justice. It does not matter under which rule it was – military or civilian, if you love justice, it will show through.
Q: Would you say you have seen any serious-minded persons among the crop of young people who have indicated interest in contesting 2019 presidential election?
A: I don't know all of these people. However, I have seen one or two who seem serious-minded. What I hesitate about is this feeling of entitlement. I'm not sure that's the attitude to have. Something I never hesitate to mention is 'look a woman has never been President before. Young people have been head of state before. How old was Gowon when he took over power and how did he do it?' So I hope that young people recognize that this is serious business. I hope they understand that there's a lot of preparedness and study to do. This is not just about "It's our turn now." In the same token, we women too are waiting to see if we can be the next President of Nigeria. That will be the real lapse breaking event and not so much the young. The young have been there before.
Q: Who would you rather have become Nigeria's next President?
A: Well, I am contesting, so I would rather it be me. I don't know whether I will be the candidate of the party but I am one of the aspirants. We are currently four. So let's see what happens.

Osteolysis: A disease of access to fixation interfaces
Michael T. Manley, James A. D'Antonio, William Capello, Avram A. Edidin
Long-term clinical studies of total hip replacement suggest a direct relationship between bearing wear and periprosthetic osteolysis, particularly if polyethylene wear is greater than a threshold value of 0.1 mm per year. The current clinical trend to cross-linked polyethylene and hard-to-hard bearings attempts to ensure that bearing wear remains below this threshold. Fluid pressure generated in the hip during patient activity also has been implicated in the formation of periprosthetic lesions. Pressure fluctuation measured during manipulation of the hip at revision, or the identification of modular components that pump fluid during loading, suggest cyclic pressure may be a causative factor in bone resorption. Animal studies show the adverse effect of direct pressure on osteocytes. At more than 10 years followup, the low incidence of osteolytic lesions in retrospective reviews of successful cemented and cementless implant designs suggest that osteolysis is not an inevitable consequence of particle or pressure generation in the hip. If the quality of implant fixation prohibits fluid access to the surrounding bone, the rate of osteolysis is minimal. It is evident that whether the active factor in osteolysis is pressure, wear particles, or both, adverse periprosthetic effects can be minimized if access to the fixation interfaces in the hip is denied.

Grimes's Forthcoming Album Is About Ten Different Ways To Die
It's also about her experiences, mythology, and a demon that just loves itself some doomsday
Trey Alston 12/03/2019
Grimes's forthcoming album, Miss_Anthropocene — based on the earliest details that can be gleaned from singles like "Violence" and "So Heavy I Fell Through the Earth" — is going to be a bold, idealistic leap into the unknown. Sonically, its distorted scraps of contemporary pop are glued together to create one seriously fucked-up aesthetic that's soul-soothing, yet mysteriously gives you a feeling of unrest.
There's a reason for that – a religious one. In a new conversation with Lana Del Rey and actress Brit Marling for Interview magazine, Grimes detailed the album's inspirations in mythology.
https://www.instagram.com/p/B5neVE4Bd-5/
Miss_Anthropocene is going to be a mystical extension of Grimes that isn't just about a demon that loves doomsday. In her discussion with Lana, Grimes revealed that not only is the album also inspired by personal experiences, it's about different aspects of various religions that captivate her. "I love how the ancient Greeks or the ancient Egyptians lived in this weird anime world where there were just tons of gods that could be anything," she said. "It's like every form of suffering had a representation. I wonder if it almost has a positive psychological effect. If your kid dies in a war, you can literally go speak to War and be like, 'Why did you do this?' Or, 'I hope you did this for a reason.'"
Grimes continued by tying her understanding of these religions to the processes at play in and through Miss_Anthropocene." There's a weird philosophical justification for all pain, and there's an anthropomorphization of every form of pain," she said. "In our current society, we don't even know how to talk about things. So my album's about a modern demonology or a modern pantheon where every song is about a different way to suffer or a different way to die."
While talking to Marling, Grimes also explained why she believes that the time that we live in now is the most important in human history. "We're going to be digitizing reality and colonizing space simultaneously, which may be two of the craziest things that will have occurred in the history of humanity," she said.
Check out Grimes's full discussion with LDR and Marling at the link up above.


Mise en abyme is a chamber opera reproducing the preparation (the days before the premiere) of the Didone abbandonata, the opera seria created by Domenico Sarro and Pietro Metastasio in 1724 for the Teatro San Bartolomeo in Naples.
On the occasion of the premiere, as Intermezzo, Sarro and Metastasio presented the L'Impresario delle Canarie, hilarious but realistic sung dialogue between a disreputable opera impresario and an adventurous soprano, a short opera buffa to be performed during the interval. In Mise en abyme, the public will be faced with Metastasio himself and his staff, together with the ensemble of serio singers preparing the Didone abbandonata and the buffo singers preparing L'Impresario delle Canarie.
There is an extensive collection of letters Metastasio wrote during his long life, which describe his stage directions, writing process and theories, and which report judgments and ideas about friends, enemies and collaborators. This will be the material for the "open discussion" among the characters, "filmed" during the preparation of the premiere.
The vocal quartet will embody the web of reflections and doubts of Metastasio and his team, in continuous interaction with him.
The presence on stage of Metastasio as dramaturge and director, sharing his ideas and intuitions with his staff, while transforming the concept of music theatre, will provide an opportunity to attempt a "play within the play". In 18th-century musical productions, this was the instrument of a possible mediation between conventional genres and the occasion of a sort of dialogue with the audience.

Our organic skincare journey started with Little Innoscents.
It was through this brand that we learnt about sodium lauryl sulfate, or rather the lack of it in their products. Their hair & body wash had NO BUBBLES then. The horror! I had happily squirted a long..strand into the bath tub only to see it floating around. ?
But I learnt that no bubbles doesn't mean not clean. My kid came out of the bath squeaky clean AND with moisturised skin post drying.
I learnt that it takes time with organic and natural products. What may take a diaper cream with chemicals 1 day to heal a diaper rash, may take 1 week for an organic product. It is a matter of preference and patience. For us, it usually resolved significantly by day 4. I can wait 4 days.
I learnt about the various types of oils, base/carriers and other plant ingredients used for each product. Aloe vera juice, beeswax, shea butter, calendula, your very common ingredients used for most natural skincare product.
Steep learning curve for us. And we never stopped scrutinising ingredient labels from then on.
And going organic? Little Innoscents Organic Baby Skin Care range of products is Australian made & owned, and contains over 85% Australian Certified Organic ingredients.
Will share more about each product soon!

An injustice
Today, the Spanish central government still holds political prisoners whose only crime was to defend the people's right to vote.
This shame on democracy has raised voices of protest around the world.
Jordi Cuixart and Jordi Sànchez are the leaders of Òmnium Cultural and Catalan National Assembly (ANC), the two main pro-independence Catalan civil society organisations. On 16 October, Cuixart and Sànchez were sent to prison on charges of sedition, despite complaints by Amnesty International and 109 Spanish jurists that the charges of rebellion and sedition for exercising fundamental rights are disproportionate.
In seven years of massive demonstrations organised by Òmnium and ANC, there was never an episode of violence. Yet on 1 October, a referendum on self-determination was held that the Spanish government violently repressed, prompting rejection by the international media and Human Rights Watch.
One month later, on 2 November, the Spanish National Court ordered the unconditional imprisonment of the Catalan government's Vice President Oriol Junqueras and seven Catalan ministers: Mundó, Turull, Rull, Romeva, Forn, Bassa and Borràs. They were also charged with crimes of embezzlement of public funds because they opened the polls on 1 October, despite fulfilling a democratic mandate. President Puigdemont and 5 Catalan ministers have remained in Belgium since 5 November and the Supreme Court has twice refused to reactivate the European arrest warrant.
On 4 December, Supreme Court Justice Pablo Llarena released six of the eight ministers on €100,000 bail, but kept VP Junqueras, Minister Forn and Jordi Cuixart and Jordi Sànchez in prison.
On 1 February, Cuixart, Sànchez and Junqueras appealed to the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) because governments cannot repress political dissent through arbitrary detention.
On 23 March, Judge Llarena sent five MPs back to prison: Raül Romeva, Dolors Bassa, Josep Rull, Jordi Turull and the former speaker of the Catalan Parliament, Carme Forcadell. All have been held in prisons located more than 600 km from their families. The same day, Judge Llarena reactivated the European Arrest Warrant against Carles Puigdemont and the members of his government-in-exile (Clara Ponsatí, Toni Comín, Meritxell Serret and Lluís Puig), as well as the ERC's secretary general and MP Marta Rovira and former Catalan MP Anna Gabriel.

Next: my assessment with the bosses. This went pleasingly well, and has left me with written evidence that I "ooze confidence". This will undoubtedly make me even more big headed than I already am; fortunately the nursing staff were on hand to remind me that that's not all I ooze.
Lastly, and perhaps most randomly, a girl I barely know has agreed, on principle to marry me. Matron is worried that the lady in question will end up on the shelf; as for me, I think she's just worried. Anyway, just as I was on my way out the door, Matron pipes up - "she'll marry you if you ask her". Nice. Acceptance of a proposal I didn't make, by a girl who doesn't really know me... I've decided to take it as a compliment.
The department was fairly quiet today, in case you were wondering.
Just stumbled onto your blog, read a few posts and really enjoyed them, I will be back to read more.

Maine Rural Health Profiles: A Statewide View of Rural Health
In an effort to inform and promote local discussions and strategic planning for transforming health and health care in rural communities, the Maine Health Access Foundation commissioned the Maine Rural Health Research Center to conduct a study of Maine's health resources and health status. The result of this study, Maine Rural Health Profiles, presents a summary look at the health status of the state and each of the 16 Maine counties' health system, health system resources (such as workforce and facilities for health services provision), health care economy, and access to care.
Maine Rural Health Profiles uses a combination of narrative and maps to discuss and illustrate both the degree of rurality in each county and how the data reported reflect rural health challenges and opportunities. Many indicators at the county level, such as per capita hospital bed counts and per capita supply of various health professionals, are compared to the state as a whole. By design, the profiles focus on health care delivery sites, with special attention to hospital-based resources, and long-term services and supports. The profiles were developed using secondary data—combining federal and state licensure and provider information with resources such as the Maine Shared Health Needs Assessment & Planning Process (SHNAPP) Project reports and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's County Health Rankings.

Our Olten centre is near the Theatre and railway station and can be reached on foot from the Olten station within a few minutes. A large team of experienced general dentists is waiting here for you. In the dental centre, you can receive emergency treatment or make appointments as a regular patient. The examinations and treatments are then generally carried out by the same dentist.

Oral surgery is a part of dentistry and comprises surgical intervention on the teeth, mouth and jaw. Here, the most important is the removal of teeth or the implantation of tooth implants. But oral cysts are also removed or jaw bone is built up as a preliminary measure for an implantation. Oral surgery is carried out precisely and reliably in the dental centre Olten. There is no extra surcharge for the specialists.
Periodontitis or gum disease is a bacterial inflammation of the tooth support system (periodontium), which often is caused by plaque. Initial periodontitis symptoms are inflammation and bleeding of the gums. It can also be that pus forms, which is often accompanied by bad breath and a bad taste in the mouth. To prevent periodontitis, our dentists recommend brushing the teeth thoroughly at least twice a day. If the inflammation is already advanced, you can have the periodontitis treated in the dental centre Olten by means of a professional teeth cleaning session. Depending on the degree of severity, this is performed by the dental hygienist or the periodontology dentist him/herself.
Special emphasis in oral surgery and implants. Studies at the University Tübingen and Brown in Providence/RI (USA).
Dental hygiene is made up of professional cleaning of teeth, the removal of tartar but also the therapy of diseases of the tooth support system. We recommend regular treatment as it can be difficult, even when performing good mouth hygiene, to clean all interdental spaces perfectly. If the bacterial plaque is not removed, it can lead to caries, gingivitis or also inflammation of the tooth support system (periodontitis). In our dental practice in the city of Olten, our dental hygienists consult you besides regarding the cleaning also individually to hygiene measures and give you instructions and aids for the optimisation of the daily mouth hygiene. In our practices, prophylaxis is in the foreground – we are looking forward to your visit.

'Married at First Sight' Australia's boys' night disaster angers fans
'Married At First Sight' clip. - [Married At First Sight / YouTube screencap]
Last night's 'Married at First Sight's' boys' night soon turned into a spectacle of disrespectful behavior, separating the boys from the men.

Fans angered at 'Married at First Sight' Australia's Boys' Night - Video
Long-time fans of "MAFS" are both shocked and disgusted based off of last night's episode (March 5). In this episode, the brides and the grooms split apart for an evening that was meant to be filled with fun but soon turned into a spectacle of disrespectful behavior from the boys' party.
Talk of wife swaps
As the boys settled in for a chat with one another, the conversation took a turn when goofball groom Troy asked who the boys would choose as their wife if they had the option at the start of the series.
Dean, the groom who had already cheated on his wife with another bride only weeks earlier, was quick to jump in and say who he would prefer.
The rest of the boys laughed and joked along, sharing openly about who they would swap wives with, as though the women had no say in it for themselves. Out of all of the boys seated, only three of the grooms did not participate in the conversation, and Patrick, in particular, spoke up against it. You're able to view some of the exchange below.
Due to the level of disrespect that took place against their wives during the boys' night, viewers are angered with the producer's choices in men for this season.
'Married at First Sight's' producers taste in men
Many viewers have been vocal on social media about their distaste for the series' choice of grooms for this season. Grooms Nasser and Dean, in particular, have crossed the line past simple misbehavior, to being regarded as emotionally abusive to their partners. Dean has famously engaged in an emotional affair with another bride, Davina, earlier this season, and has pledged that he is a changed and apologetic man to his ever-forgiving wife, Tracey.
Yet, viewers learned from last night's episode that he is in fact still entertaining the concept of wife-swapping, despite claiming that he only has eyes for Tracey.
Dean is everything that's wrong with men all wrapped up in a gross man child shaped package #MAFS
— Sarah Anderson (@_SarahKAnderson) March 6, 2018
Nasser, originally beloved by fans at the start of this season, has had an extreme change in character over the past two weeks.
He has repeatedly stated his stubbornness and refusal to change to his wife and displays emotionally manipulative and abusive patterns time and time again. As fans watch the abusive patterns released upon their strong and beautiful wives, left hurt once again, many are now turning their anger towards the show's producers, rather than to the men themselves.
Viewers are left wondering why the producers allow men with toxic behavior to be participants in the experiment, to begin with, as this then is unleashed on their wives who are consistently being hurt and manipulated.
Could this possibly intentional poor match-making also be the cause of the unnecessarily high divorce rate? It wouldn't be the first time that reality TV producers have crossed the line for an increase in ratings. This past season's "The Bachelor" in the US has caused some serious uproar, especially in its recent finale.
A few good men
As previously mentioned, it seems that out of all the grooms left standing, fans are in agreement that John, Telv, and Patrick are worthy of having a place on the series, especially after their discomfort in last night's episode.
All throughout Twitter, viewers are applauding the trio for their treatment of women in comparison to the other contestants.
Viewers can expect to see the men, or rather the boys, face the consequences of their actions at tonight's dinner party (March 6), as outspoken bride Charlene let's loose in an act of solidarity for the women.
