Bonela To Raise Awareness on ICESCR; Human Rights and HIV/AIDS at Old Naledi Kgotla
1 June 2011:
The Botswana Network on Ethics, Law and HIV/AIDS (BONELA) will hold a community dialogue on Monday 6 June 2011 at 1400hrs at the Main Kgotla in Old Naledi to raise awareness of the community on human rights and HIV/AIDS.
The dialogue themed From Privileges to Rights will be hosted by Kgosi C. Kooitswe of Old Naledi. Through this initiative, BONELA seeks to raise awareness on the International Convention on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), and mobilize the community in Old Naledi to lobby their parliamentary and council representatives to support the motion presented in parliament this year by Honourable Gilson Saleshando (Selibe Phikwe West Member of Parliament) for Botswana to sign, ratify and domestic this Convention.
This is in recognition of the fact that the Constitution of Botswana neither contains nor guarantees second generation rights, which are rights that have financial implications such as the right to health; the right to work and the right to education. Domestication of the ICESCR will thus commit the Government of Botswana to uphold these rights.
BONELA is concerned that the Government of Botswana may not be held accountable where the right to health is not guaranteed in cases such as poor health facility standards and unethical conduct of professionals, especially stigma and discrimination targeted at sexual minorities such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersexed (LGBTI)individuals as well as sex workers.
BONELA makes particular reference to Article 12 of the ICESCR, which guarantees the "right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health". It also calls for the "… improvement of all aspects of environmental and industrial hygiene; the prevention, treatment and control of epidemic, endemic, occupational, and other diseases; and the creation of conditions which could assure to all medical service and medical attention in the event of sickness."
By signing, ratifying and domesticating the ICESCR, Botswana will thus be accountable to the provision of the highest attainable standard of health, especially with regard to antiretroviral (ARV) and tuberculosis (TB) prevention and treatment, especially with regards to most at risk populations (MARPS) such as people living with disabilities; LGBTI; men who have sex with men; sex workers; refugees and foreign prisoners, who historically have been left out of HIV and AIDS policies and interventions.
It is BONELA's contention that without the inclusion of MARPS, it is impossible to achieve universal access, which is the key to the country attaining its 2016 goal of zero new infections by that year.
The signing, ratification and domestication of the ICESCR by Botswana is a campaign that BONELA will carry out throughout the year. In the build up to this campaign, BONELA will also hold two kgotla meetings in Selibe Pikwe East and West, as well as one public event in Gaborone this year.

Observing Japan: Will they or won't they?
The "they" in the title of this post are, of course, the members of the Bank of Japan's Policy Board, and the 120.54 million yen question is whether its members will vote to raise interest rates on Thursday.
Call me naive, but I'm used to the Fed's way of doing business, namely advertising the direction of its next move long in advance so various actors in the economy (domestic and global) have plenty of time to factor the central bank's anticipated policy direction into their decision making.
Japan, meanwhile, seems to have concluded that predictability is overrated. First, senior members of the LDP openly questioned the wisdom of a rate hike last weekend, as I discussed in this post, raising questions about even the circumscribed independence of Japan's monetary authorities. Then, as if to throw the markets a curve, Omi Koji, Japan's finance minister, stated matter-of-factly yesterday that he sees no problem with the BOJ raising interest rates, and, to muddy the waters even further, Chief Cabinet Secretary Shiozaki declined to comment on the prospect of a rate hike. (See this article in the Yomiuri Shimbun).
And then, to throw tomorrow's outcome completely into question, Reuters is now reporting that the BOJ is "unlike to raise rates."
In the midst of the speculation regarding the short-term direction of Japan's monetary policy and with it Japan's economic recovery, it's worthwhile to check out this interview in the English edition of the Asahi Shimbun with Koizumi economy czar and current Keio University professor Takenaka Heizo, in which Takenaka calls for, among other things, inflation targeting by the BOJ. But he also once again implicitly criticizes the Abe Cabinet for its reluctance thus far to push forward with what he calls "proactive reform."
This is indeed curious. Economic reform was pretty much the raison d'etre of the Koizumi Cabinet, but it seems that reforming the Japanese economy so that it remains dynamic and prosperous is too pedestrian for Prime Minister Abe -- he apparently likes a challenge, like completely remaking Japan's institutions as they have existed since the end of World War II.


Tooth erosion is the wearing away of tooth enamel by acid. The enamel is the hard calcified tissue that covers and protects the outside of the tooth. It is the hardest substance in our bodies. The saliva in our mouth contains calcium which helps to strengthen and remineralize the teeth, however, remineralization can not occur when a great deal of acid is present. The high amount of acids in the food and drink that you consume can cause tooth erosion. Soft drinks and pure fruit juices contain a high amount of acid. Tooth erosion can also be caused by medical factors such as a decrease in saliva, acid reflux disease, certain gastrointestinal conditions and the eating disorder bulimia.
Prevention of tooth erosion - Tooth erosion can cause mild dental problems, from tooth discoloration to sensitivity to more severe dental problems, such as indentions in the teeth, severe tooth sensitivity, and even cracked teeth. Tooth erosion can do severe damage to your teeth, however you can are recommended to undertake the following precautions to prevent tooth erosion.
After eating or drinking acidic foods or beverages, rinse your mouth with water so that the acid will be neutralized.
Wait at least an hour before brushing your teeth after Consuming acidic foods or beverages to allow the teeth to remineralize after the acid exposure.
3.Cut back on carbonated drinks and try replacing them with water, milk or un-sweetened coffee and tea.
Use a straw when drinking carbonated beverages or other sweet drinks, such as natural fruit juices, which are very acidic.
Bad breath is the emission of an irritating odour from a persons mouth.
Floss your teeth daily. Flossing will remove food debris from in between the teeth that a toothbrush can't reach.


This quote comes from Roz Davies, formerly of Sheffield Flourish, an award-winning charity and community network which aims to support people living with mental health conditions to (re)build the lives they wish to lead. It's a project we hope to feature more on soon.
We particularly like this quote because we have been doing a lot of story-telling and listening in Dudley recenty. Through this, we've realised just how much the public sector traditionally controls the information they collect from their communities through the methods they use to listen. With things like assessment forms, care planning and keyworking. We think it is time to really listen without interrupting to let the community tell us the story they want to share with us, not what we want to hear.


I started publishing OutsideTheOven.com almost nine years ago. One of my competitors back then (they've since closed down) started a blog that was titled something like 'as the cookie crumbles'. I liked the idea, but wanted to focus on something a bit different. My first post was about a river trip with Anna and a chance encounter with a snake.
I wanted to share something about myself, our company and what we do that doesn't involve flour, chocolate, butter, sugar and eggs – the ingredients we use to make cookies and brownies. I thought that if I shared more about who we are and what we've learned, it might help us make an emotional connection with customers and inspire our customers to do the same with their clients.
This Father's Day, I had the chance to once again spend the day on a river (thanks to the Haw River Canoe and Kayak Co. for a great experience) with Anna and it was the perfect way to spend an afternoon. No snakes this time, but I did spend some time in thought about the journey we've been on and why I started down this road in the first place. Stepping off the bus at SciQuest back in 2003 to venture down the road less traveled required a lot of thought and a major leap of faith.
My word for 2017 is 'time' – a culmination of lots of small moments. I've spent a fair amount of energy this first half of the year, thinking about how I spend my time both at home and with Anna's Gourmet Goodies. It is, after all, the only resource we can't acquire more of.
Running a business and raising a child have similarities in that they both require an extraordinary amount of time. Anna was off to college last year and while the quantity of day to day time requirements went down, it still requires thinking time and those moments when we did connect were all the more valuable.
At Anna's Gourmet Goodies, we spend our time (days and weeks and years) creating brief moments for our business clients and their customers. Our cookie gifts are impactful, connecting one person to another and creating a memorable moment when they open the package. We've developed some very efficient processes for managing orders, but we still spend a few moments thinking about each one and how it might impact our customer and the recipient. It's one ingredient that we think makes all the difference.
My Father's Day gift was time on the river with Anna and a delicious meal at the Saxapahaw General Store. The pizza with field grown tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil was simply outstanding, but the value of the time with Anna was priceless.
When we returned home, Anna presented me with a letter she wrote, thanking me and reminding me of some of the other times when we took small road trips. Little things that when stitched together add up to something greater than simply minutes on a clock.
Over the past few weeks I've spent time at Anna's Gourmet Goodies doing what we do throughout the year. Sending out birthday gifts for clients, a special batch of graduation party favors for a long time customer, thanking a business owner's clients for their recent purchase, and more. Little things that create moments to make someone's day a little brighter.
Outside the oven, I helped a friend repair his front porch so his wife could get into the house when she returned from the hospital, helped a college student service his car, and took this river trip with Anna.
As a husband, father and business owner, I'm always thinking about how I should be investing my time. It's a precious commodity that's made up of more than just minutes, hours and days. Focusing on that word this year has reminded me that it's helpful every now and then to step back, get outside the oven and look at the moments we're investing into relationships, a business, products or whatever.
Just like baking great cookies, you have to make sure you're adding the right ingredients in the right amount. Based on the last cookie I tasted and watching Anna grow and develop, I'm pretty happy with how things have turned out so far.

Candace Owens Denied A COVID Test In Colorado By Facility Owner For 'Making Pandemic Worse'
Conservative commentator Candace Owens recently spoke out about being denied access to a COVID-19 test after the owner of the testing center said she had "proactively worked to make the pandemic worse."
Wow. Just wow. So much for all of that love and tolerance, right? These people don't care about individual health. All they care about is political power and forcing folks to get on board with what they want them to do.
via Washington Examiner:
After Owens, who is unvaccinated, attempted to get tested for the disease in Aspen, Colorado, the owner of the testing facility, Suzanna Lee, told Owens she was "going to refuse this booking and deny service" due to Owens's "spreading misinformation, politicizing and DISCOURAGING the wearing of masks and actively dissuading people from receiving life-saving vaccinations."
"My team and myself have worked overtime, to exhaustion, unpaid and underpaid this past year, spending our own capital to ensure that our community remains protected," Lee went on to say in a message to Owens on Tuesday. "It would be unfair to them and to the sacrifices we have all made this year to serve you."
Just finished my live on Instagram here: https://t.co/lPjhqVYaGO
As promised— here is the email from the rabid activist declining to give me a test, plus my response to her. She clearly isn't stable enough to work in health and is a danger to the Aspen community. pic.twitter.com/nV7xMGqVN3
— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) September 2, 2021
Owens went on to say that Lee's message "might objectively be the most hilarious e-mail [she has] ever received in [her] life."
"Nothing screams 'this virus isn't political' quite like googling the names of the people who book tests with you and determining on a case by case basis whether or not you will let them comply with your community covid measures," Owens said in her reply to Lee. "Nothing screams 'I love my local community' quite like refusing to test people who are going to a local event and wish to ensure they are negative and therefore do not spread the virus."
In response to questions from some on the Left about whether Lee, as a private business owner, should have the freedom to deny her service, Owens said she "very much believe[s] in the freedom to choose."
"Just pointing out the great irony that when the 'health employees' begin choosing who is allowed to determine if they have covid — we are no longer in a public health crisis," Owens continued. "Admit it. Covid is political."
Owens, who is unvaccinated and has declined to wear a mask in scenarios in which she has experienced possible exposure, doubled down on past criticism of coronavirus protocols Thursday, saying conservatives should be "given exemption cards" from COVID-19 tests to "exempt [them] from this fake pandemic."
As of this writing, the state of Colorado has had 618,072 cases of the coronavirus, with a death count of 7,151 being attributed to the illness, according to data from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. More than 67 percent of the state's eligible population have been fully vaccinated.

Incompetent site management lands director with suspended jail sentence
Posted on 6th January 2020 6th January 2020 by Nick.Underwood
A company and its director have been sentenced for failing to comply with an enforcement notice.
Image credit HSE
Between May 2018 and February 2019, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) carried out a series of inspections at a construction site in South Woodford in London, after safety concerns were raised. During the inspections, the site manager and company director Tahir Ahmed was served with two prohibition notices and his company, All Type Electrical and Building, was served with two prohibition notices and two improvement notices.
One of the improvement notices, the HSE told IOSH Magazine, was served on 24 September 2018 with a compliance date of 30 November 2018 to ascertain competent advice. No request was made to extend the notice, and no evidence of an attempt to comply with the notice was ever received.
Ahmed, the director of All Type Electrical and Building who was running the site, had not received site manager training, the HSE confirmed. "We believe he had never received such training as he did not produce any training certification and he pleaded guilty to the breach," the regulator told us.
At Westminster Magistrates' Court, All Type Electrical and Building pleaded guilty to breaching reg 15(2) of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations, which states: "You have not employed or appointed a person to supervise or manage construction work who has the necessary training to carry out the tasks allocated to that person in a manner that secures the health and safety of any person working on the construction site".
The firm also pleaded guilty to contravening s 21 of the Health and Safety at Work Act for failing to comply with an enforcement notice. The company was ordered to pay a £60,000 fine plus full costs of £5,216.
Ahmed also admitted breaching s 21 of the Health and Safety at Work Act and was sentenced to 18 weeks' imprisonment suspended for 12 months, 180 hours of unpaid work, plus full costs of £5,060.
Speaking after the hearing, HSE inspector David King said: "This case highlights the need for suitable and sufficient planning, managing and monitoring, using the appropriate work at height equipment and having a competent site manager.
"Dutyholders should be aware that the HSE will hold to account those who do not comply with health and safety legislation, or who do not comply with enforcement notices served on them."

Auto News XFR: Fastest Jaguar Ever
Kia Soul'ster Concept	Chrysler 200C EV Concept
XFR: Fastest Jaguar Ever
By Colum Wood Jan 11, 2009
Thinking that they had a real speed deamon on their hands Jaguar execs handed over the new 510hp Jaguar XFR sedan to Rocketsports Racing for a top speed test at the Bonneville Salt Flats.
With modifications that the company describes as minimal (which actually included a fully stripped out interior, the addition of a roll cage, a front splitter and a massive rear spoiler) the XFR hit an astonishing top speed of 225.675 mph.
It isn't quite enpugh to solidify the Jag as the fastest sedan in the world (that record belongs to the G-Power twin-supercharged M5 with a top speed on 228mph) but it's close.
Official release after the jump: NEW SUPERCHARGED XF IS OFFICIALLY THE FASTEST JAGUAR EVER AT 225MPH
Jaguar today announces that during a secret speed trial at the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, an XFR prototype recorded a stunning top speed of 225.675mph (363.188km/h), making it the fastest Jaguar ever. The car – powered by the all-new AJ-V8 Gen III engine – beat Jaguar's previous speed record of 217.1mph (349.4 km/h) set in the XJ220 in 1992.* Paul Gentilozzi ? the owner of Rocketsports Racing who successfully led the Jaguar XKR to five series victories between 2001 and 2006 in the Trans Am series in the USA – drove the car on the record-breaking run.
Running with minor aerodynamic and safety modifications to meet the requirements for a Bonneville run, the 225mph top speed was achieved with additional horsepower liberated by a remapped ECU, a modified air intake and exhaust system and revised supercharger settings. No internal engine components were changed and the six-speed automatic transmission was standard, including the gear ratios.
Mike O'Driscoll, Managing Director, Jaguar Cars said: "The all-new supercharged 510bhp XFR – and XKR – add a thrilling new dimension to the Jaguar line-up. We have sharpened the R models, fine-tuning them to deliver a totally focused experience for driving enthusiasts, with the new AJ-V8 Gen III engines delivering refined power and performance and unmatched efficiency.
"This sharper edge – the quicker steering rack, outstanding grip and stability and improved stopping-power – has been achieved by using advanced Jaguar technologies such as Adaptive Dynamics (the latest in computer-controlled suspension and traction control), a new electronic Active Differential Control and significantly uprated brakes."
Paul Gentilozzi added: "During my career, I've raced worldwide from the southern tip of New Zealand to Le Mans. Along the way, I have been privileged to drive and own so many exciting cars but I've never driven one that was as exciting to drive fast as this Jaguar."
The new XFR ? the first XF to carry the 'R' badge – defines Jaguar's most performance-focused models. Powered by an all-new supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine developing 510PS and 625Nm of torque, the XFR can accelerate from standstill to 60mph in just 4.7 seconds (0-100kph in 4.9 seconds) and is capable of reaching an electronically limited 155mph. More relevant in everyday driving, an excellent indicator of the XFR's great flexibility is the time it takes to accelerate from 50-70mph ? just 1.9 seconds.
High-speed runs have become indelibly etched into the history of the Jaguar marque. Next year marks the 60th anniversary of the Jaguar XK120's record-breaking 132.6mph run set on 30 May 1949 on a deserted stretch of motorway near Jabbeke in Belgium.
The new XFR demonstrates Jaguar's commitment to delivering exhilarating performance and outstanding dynamics for the driving enthusiast ? the 'Fast' part of the Jaguar ethos of designing, engineering and manufacturing 'Beautiful, Fast Cars'.
* Editor's Note: The Jaguar XJ220 – a mid-engined sports car produced by Jaguar in collaboration with Tom Walkinshaw Racing between 1992 and 1994 – held the record for the highest top speed of a production car until the arrival of the McLaren F1 in 1994.

The Kanban view has become a fast favorite among Salesforce power users. Displayed in a card-based view for easy understanding, Kanban replaces clunky tables with one-page summaries of just about any TargetRecruit object you want to work with.
Kanban is a new way of visualizing your data, allowing users to make multiple changes to data records at once. Kanban is a Japanese creation. Conceptually, Kanban aligns inventory levels with actual consumption, leaving no waste. Its origins are in just-in-time manufacturing (JIT) and its residue is found in today's lean manufacturing, agile software development, and data management processes. Using Kanban, you'll notice little wasted action and a lot more production.
A drag and drop function that creates dynamic changes in my data? This is a powerful but subtle design change, allowing the Lightning interface to recede from focus by following a natural reading order. These are the kinds of design breakthroughs UX, data visualization, and even game designers are always trying to achieve. Designers want non-technical users to get lost in the data, not the interface. This abstract design concept is called flow, and you can really feel it when using the Kanban view.
Check out what Kanban has to offer, and see what Salesforce power users are so excited about.

Linton Kwesi Johnson - First Reggae Poet.
Linton Kwesi Johnson was born on 24 August 1952 in Chapelton, a small town in the rural parish of Clarendon, Jamaica. He came to London in 1963, went to Tulse Hill secondary school and later studied Sociology at Goldsmiths' College, University of London. Whilst still at school he joined the Black Panthers, helped to organise a poetry workshop within the movement and developed his work with Rasta Love, a group of poets and drummers. In 1977 he was awarded a C Day Lewis Fellowship, becoming the writer-in-residence for the London Borough of Lambeth for that year. He went on to work as the Library Resources and Education Officer at the Keskidee Centre, the first home of Black theatre and art.
LKJ, Johnson's own record label, was launched in 1981 with two singles by the Jamaican poet Michael Smith, Mi Cyaan Believe It and Roots. During the 1980s he became immersed in journalism, working closely with the Brixton-based Race Today collective. His 10-part radio series on Jamaican popular music, From Mento to Lovers Rock, went out on BBC Radio 1 in 1982 and was repeated in 1983. From 1985-88 he was a reporter on Channel 4's The Bandung File. He also toured regularly with the Dennis Bovell Dub Band and produced albums by the writer Jean Binta Breeze and by jazz trumpeter Shake Keane.
Recorded at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, the album LKJ Live in Concert with the Dub Band was released independently in 1985 and was nominated for a Grammy Award soon after. This was followed by Tings An' Times in 1991, also the title of his Selected Poems co-published by Bloodaxe Books and LKJ Music Publishers the same year. In 1992 Linton Kwesi Johnson and Dennis Bovell collaborated to produce LKJ in Dub: Volume Two. In 1996 the album LKJ Presents was released, a compilation of various artists including Linton Kwesi Johnson. This was followed in the same year by LKJ A Cappella Live, a collection of 14 poems including some unpublished works. In 1998 Johnson released More Time to celebrate his twentieth anniversary in the recording business. Island also released a two-CD compilation set entitled Independant Intavenshan. In 2002 Linton Kwesi Johnson became only the second living poet and the first black poet to have his work published in Penguin's Modern Classics series, under the title Mi Revalueshanary Fren. The BBC made a TV programme about LKJ's poetry, shown in their Profile series on BBC 4. In this year Johnson also released the CD LKJ in Dub Volume Three. To mark his 25th anniversary as a reggae recording artist, Linton Kwesi Johnson released a CD and, for the first time ever, a DVD in 2004 entitled LKJ Live in Paris with the Dennis Bovell Dub Band.
Linton Kwesi Johnson has been made an Associate Fellow of Warwick University (1985), an Honorary Fellow of Wolverhampton Polytechnic (1987) and received an award at the XIII Premo Internazionale Ultimo Novecento from the city of Pisa for his contribution to poetry and popular music (1990). In 1998 he was awarded the Premio Piero Ciampi Citta di Livorno Concorso Musicale Nazionale in Italy. In 2003 Johnson was bestowed with an honorary fellowship from his alma mater, Goldsmiths College. In 2004 he became an Honorary Visiting Professor of Middlesex University in London. In 2005 Linton Kwesi Johnson was awarded a silver Musgrave medal from the Institute of Jamaica for distinguished eminence in the field of poetry. He has toured the world from Japan to the new South Africa, from Europe to Brazil. His recordings are amongst the top-selling reggae albums in the world and his work has been translated into Italian and German. Unsurprisingly, he is known and revered as the world's first reggae poet.
Willy DeVille, a singer and songwriter and the leader of the group Mink DeVille, whose adventurous forays into rhythm and blues, Cajun music and salsa made him one of the most original figures of the New York punk scene of the 1970s, died on August 6, in Manhattan. He was 58.
The cause was pancreatic cancer, said his publicist, Carol Kaye.
Mr. DeVille was born William Borsey in Stamford, Conn. After dropping out of school at 16, he began spending time in Greenwich Village and on the Lower East Side, where he learned to play the guitar and began performing, affecting a blues style like that of John Hammond Jr. He played with several groups before assembling Mink DeVille on a trip to San Francisco. He brought it to New York in 1975.
Mink DeVille, frequently lumped in with its fellow headliners Blondie, Television and Talking Heads, was essentially a soul band with roots in the commercial songwriting traditions of the Brill Building. Onstage Mr. DeVille cut a dapper figure. A pencil mustache and sculptured pompadour complemented his suits and pointy Italian shoes.
"Le Chat Bleu," recorded in Paris without most of the original band members, baffled Capitol. It included French cabaret music, Cajun accordion melodies and songs written with Doc Pomus, one of the writers of "Save the Last Dance for Me." Although the album sold well in Europe, Capitol shelved it, finally releasing it in 1980 to critical acclaim.
In a spiritual homecoming, Mr. DeVille signed with Atlantic Records after returning to the United States and recorded the soul-tinged "Coup de Grace" (1981), with Mr. Nitzsche as producer, and "Where Angels Fear to Tread" (1983). "Sportin' Life" (1985), his last album under the Mink DeVille name, included "Italian Shoes," a hit in Europe.
After 1985 Mr. Deville performed and recorded as Willy Deville, pursuing a path with unusual twists and turns. His song "Storybook Love," from the album "Miracle" (1987), was used as the theme for "The Princess Bride" and was nominated for an Academy Award.
Relocating to New Orleans in 1988 reinforced a lifelong attraction to Cajun, zydeco and New Orleans rhythm and blues, a taste Mr. DeVille indulged in "Victory Mixture" (1990), a collaboration with New Orleans greats like Dr. John, Eddie Bo and Allen Toussaint, and in "Loup Garou" (1995).
The unpredictable Mr. DeVille recorded a startling mariachi version of the Jimi Hendrix hit "Hey Joe" on "Backstreets of Desire" (1992) and turned to Southern traditional music and blues on "Horse of a Different Color" (1999). He later toured and recorded live as part of an acoustic trio. After living in New Mexico for several years, he returned to New York in 2003.
Mr. DeVille's first two wives died. He is survived by his third wife, Nina; a son, Sean; and a sister, Mimi, who lives in Australia.

Posted on this blog on March 22, 2005.
I've ever since tried to catch another sunset like this one, in the Coachella Valley, precisely at the North Gate of the Cathedral Canyon Country Club, Cathedral City, California.
No success so far... so here is the old one.
In search of soft power, Brazil is turning itself into one of the world's biggest aid donors. But is it going too far, too fast?
ONE of the most successful post-earthquake initiatives in Haiti is the expansion of Lèt Agogo (Lots of Milk, in Creole), a dairy co-operative, into a project encouraging mothers to take their children to school in exchange for free meals. It is based on Bolsa Família, a Brazilian welfare scheme, and financed with Brazilian government money. In Mali cotton yields are soaring at an experimental farm run by Embrapa, a Brazilian research outfit. Odebrecht, a Brazilian construction firm, is building much of Angola's water supply and is one of the biggest contractors in Africa.
Without attracting much attention, Brazil is fast becoming one of the world's biggest providers of help to poor countries. Official figures do not reflect this. The Brazilian Co-operation Agency (ABC), which runs "technical assistance" (advisory and scientific projects), has a budget of just 52m reais ($30m) this year. But studies by Britain's Overseas Development Institute and Canada's International Development Research Centre estimate that other Brazilian institutions spend 15 times more than ABC's budget on their own technical-assistance programmes. The country's contribution to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is $20m-25m a year, but the true value of the goods and services it provides, thinks the UNDP's head in Brazil, is $100m. Add the $300m Brazil gives in kind to the World Food Programme; a $350m commitment to Haiti; bits and bobs for Gaza; and the $3.3 billion in commercial loans that Brazilian firms have got in poor countries since 2008 from the state development bank (BNDES, akin to China's state-backed loans), and the value of all Brazilian development aid broadly defined could reach $4 billion a year (see table). That is less than China, but similar to generous donors such as Sweden and Canada—and, unlike theirs, Brazil's contributions are soaring. ABC's spending has trebled since 2008.
This aid effort—though it is not called that by the government—has wide implications. Lavishing assistance on Africa helps Brazil compete with China and India for soft-power influence in the developing world. It also garners support for the country's lonely quest for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. Since rising powers like Brazil will one day run the world, argues Samuel Pinheiro Guimarães Neto, the foreign ministry's secretary-general, they can save trouble later by reducing poverty in developing countries now.
Moreover, aid makes commercial sense. For example, Brazil is the world's most efficient ethanol producer, and wants to create a global market in the green fuel. But it cannot do so if it is the world's only real provider. Spreading ethanol technology to poor countries creates new suppliers, boosts the chances of a global market and generates business for Brazilian firms.
The effort matters to the world's aid industry, too—and not only because it helps offset the slowdown in aid from traditional donors. Like China, Brazil does not impose Western-style conditions on recipients. But, on the whole, western donors worry less about Brazilian aid than they do over China's, which they think fosters corrupt government and bad policy. Brazilian aid is focused more on social programmes and agriculture, whereas Chinese aid finances roads, railways and docks in exchange for access to raw materials (though Brazilian firms are busy snapping up commodities in third-world nations, too).
Marco Farani, the head of ABC, argues there is a specifically Brazilian way of doing aid, based on the social programmes that have accompanied its recent economic success. Brazil has a comparative advantage, he says, in providing HIV/AIDS treatment to the poor and in conditional cash-transfer schemes like Bolsa Família. Its tropical-agriculture research is among the world's best. But Brazil also still receives aid so, for good or ill, its aid programme is eroding the distinction between donors and recipients, thus undermining the old system of donor-dictated, top-down aid.
And all this has consequences for the West. Some rich-country governments cautiously welcome what Brazilians call "the diplomacy of generosity", just as they do the soft-power ambitions of which aid is part. After all, if (as seems likely) emerging markets are to become more influential, Brazil—stable, democratic, at peace with its neighbours—looks more attractive and tractable than, say, China or Russia.
But if aid is any guide, a lot will have to change before Brazil occupies the place in the world that its president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, aspires to. Brazil seems almost ambivalent about its aid programme. The country still has large pockets of third-world poverty, and sending money abroad could be controversial. Brazilian law forbids giving public money to other governments, so legal contortions are inevitable. The ABC aid agency is tucked away in the foreign ministry, where its officials are looked down on as "Elizabeth Arden" diplomats (London–New York–Paris), not the "Indiana Jones" adventurers required. At least some aid, for example to Venezuela, seems to have been inspired by Lula's soft spot for leftist strongmen. And the exponential increase in aid—the value of humanitarian contributions has risen by 20 times in just three years—means that both people and institutions are being overwhelmed. Stories abound of broken promises, incompetence and corruption.
Em busca do status de potência global, o Brasil vem se posicionando na comunidade internacional em diferentes áreas. Além da recente participação no acordo nuclear com a Turquia e o Irã e a batalha pelo assento permanente no Conselho de Segurança da ONU, o país já se tornou um dos maiores doadores internacionais para áreas de risco ou financiamento de projetos, diz a revista britânica "The Economist".
A reportagem indica que o orçamento oficial da Agência Brasileira de Cooperação (ABC) é de R$ 52 milhões, mas um levantamento feito pelo Instituto de Desenvolvimento Internacional do Reino Unido e o Centro de Pesquisa em Desenvolvimento Internacional do Canadá mostra que no total uma série de agências do governo brasileiro gastam ao menos 15 vezes mais do que isso em seus próprios programas de assistência.
A revista britânica apontou que Brasília contribui com cerca de R$ 35 a R$ 44 milhões por ano com o Programa das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento (Pnud), mas de acordo com o chefe do programa da ONU no país o valor real seria de R$ 177 milhões.
Outras iniciativas brasileiras incluem: R$ 531 milhões ao Programa Mundial de Alimentos da ONU, R$ 619 milhões à reconstrução do Haiti; pequenas ações em Gaza, e cerca de R$ 5,8 bilhões em empréstimos comerciais que empresas brasileiras privadas concederam a países pobres desde 2008 por meio do BNDES.
Somando-se todas as frentes, o montante de ajuda internacional que o Brasil fornece a outros países chega a cerca de R$ 7 bilhões por ano -- menos do que a China, mas similar ao que tradicionais "generosos" doadores como o Canadá e a Suécia concedem a outras nações. E ao contrário dos ocidentais, o montante brasileiro triplicou desde 2008.
A reportagem indica que sem fazer "muito alarde", Brasília vem atuando em diversas partes do mundo em desenvolvimento.
Após seis meses do terremoto no Haiti, um dos esforços internacionais mais bem sucedidos é brasileiro. O programa "Lèt Agogo" (Muito leite, em crioulo) é uma cooperativa que encoraja as mães a levarem os filhos para a escola em troca de refeições, uma ação baseada no Bolsa Família e financiando pelo governo brasileiro, diz a revista.
No Mali uma série de campos de algodão são cultivados com sucesso graças a uma fazenda experimental implementada pela Embrapa.
Em Angola, a empreiteira brasileira Odebrecht é um dos gigantes do setor e é responsável pela construção de grande parte do sistema de abastecimento de água no país, indica a "Economist".
A revista britânica diz que apesar de o Brasil não considerar as ações como "ajuda internacional", os benefícios trazidos pela participação do país nestes programas de desenvolvimento -- além da atuação direta de empresas privadas e agências governamentais brasileiras em diversas nações -- são indiscutíveis.
"A abundância da assistência na África ajuda o Brasil a competir com a China e a Índia em termos de influência como potência [do tipo 'soft-power'] no mundo em desenvolvimento. Também faz com que o país obtenha apoio para sua busca solitária por um assento permanente no Conselho de Segurança da ONU", indica a "Economist".
Para o secretário-geral do Itamaraty, Samuel Pinheiro Guimarães Neto, os gastos se justificam com uma projeção do status de potência feita pelo governo. Já que poderes em ascensão como o Brasil um dia terão muito mais controle do cenário internacional, a redução da pobreza em países em desenvolvimento agora representará menos problemas no futuro.
O mundo ocidental se preocupa mais com os esforços chineses do que os brasileiros, afirma a revista, mas mesmo assim a crescente presença de financiamento do Brasil em países em desenvolvimento vem despertando a atenção das potências mais ricas.
Há também especificidades sobre a maneira brasileira de "ajudar outros países", diz a reportagem. Ao contrário das principais agências de desenvolvimento internacional como as dos EUA, Reino Unido, Canadá e União Europeia, o Brasil não impõe metas ou condições rígidas que devem ser atingidas pelos receptores dos recursos.
Para Marco Farani, chefe da ABC, os esforços brasileiros contam com a experiência que produziu o recente sucesso econômico no país. Brasília conta com programas de excelência como o tratamento de HIV/Aids para os mais pobres e esquemas sociais como o Bolsa Família e Bolsa Escola.
No entanto, a "Economist" argumenta que o país ainda recebe ajuda internacional de potências ocidentais e programas mundiais de desenvolvimento, o que faz com que a distinção tradicional entre doadores e receptores perca sentido no cenário atual.
A "diplomacia da generosidade" é bem-vinda pelas potências ocidentais, mas com ressalvas. As ambições de liderança brasileiras soam um alarme, mas a probabilidade de o país sul-americano se tornar um mercado mais influente do que a Rússia ou a China interessa ao Ocidente.
A "Economist" diz ainda que apesar dos sucessos, o modelo que o país adota como doador internacional ainda está em criação. A revista cita o o chefe da ABC, Marco Farani, dizendo que o Brasil precisa de mais oficiais no setor, mais independência e uma ênfase maior nos objetivos da política de assistência a outros países, ao invés de projetos isolados.
"Até conseguir fazer estas tarefas, o programa de ajuda internacional do Brasil provavelmente deve permanecer sendo um modelo global 'em aguardo' -- um símbolo, talvez, da situação do país como um todo", diz a revista britânica.
Alvin Lee has always been underrated. Undeserved fate for one of the greatest rock'n roll & Blues guitar player of all time.
Pretty impressive the work of Dan Palatnik, brazilian ilustrator, specializing in digital art.
Thanks to illustrators like him, the industrial design of past decades is kept alive, so the new generations can admire it, and realize how art could be applied to industrialized products.
His collections of radios from the 50's and 60's, on the illustration down bellow is amazing.
Palatnik also has a very extensive collection of automobile illustrations ranging from the 30's to the 60's.
This very fine Plymouth, was present at the Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival, last 15-16 of June.

Ramaphosa the irresponsible - Politicsweb
19 December 2019 - Ramaphosa has said that ongoing rotational power cuts are causing great harm to the economy and disrupting the lives of citizens. No kidding! Tell us something we don't know!
Sara Gon
President Cyril Ramaphosa has a penchant for the homily and the platitude. His speeches are studded with banal views and, although expressed in plain language, they don't convey very much.
Ramaphosa usually sounds resolute when announcing some ideologically suffused proposed legislation, or dissing whites. Legislation like that concerning expropriation without compensation reflects the African National Congress's (ANC) regressive march backwards to the heyday of 1950s communism.
However, more in keeping with his amiable and beaming persona is his weekly letter, From the Desk of the President.
Thus, on Monday 9 December, he tells us: "When I visited Medupi power station for the first time two weeks ago, I was struck by how massive it is. It is one thing to be told in a briefing that, when completed, Medupi will be the fourth largest power stations (sic) of its kind in the world; but it is quite another thing to stand below its towering turbines."
A sentence like this should precede a description of how effective it is and the marvels it can perform, but sadly not.
In 2014, former President Zuma appointed a "war room" to deal with the Eskom crisis. The chair of the "war room" was then Deputy President Ramaphosa. In three years as chair, Ramaphosa never visited Medupi.
Medupi is not, as Ramaphosa proclaims, a fitting symbol of the importance of our SoEs. Probably other than Eskom, none of "our" SoEs are particularly important. They could either be in private hands or not exist at all.
Ramaphosa blithely tells us: "The cost of building the power station has escalated dramatically since its building started, it is behind schedule and – with five of its six units now in commercial operation – it is not yet performing at the level it is expected to perform.
"The problems with the construction of Medupi and its 'twin' Kusile account for much of the financial crisis at Eskom. There have been other factors, of course, not least of which are the effects of state capture, corruption, loss and shortage of essential skills and mismanagement."
Ramaphosa runs these problems off his pen as if they are caused by some mysterious, malevolent and invisible force, rather than caused by him and his colleagues. There is no apology for the fact that everything that is wrong is the fault of the ANC and the ANC government, of both of which he is president.
Stephen Grootes noted on Daily Maverick that "… it should not be forgotten that at all times, the people who made the mistakes, the people who indulged in corruption, and the people who have created the deep crisis that we are in now, come from, and were protected by, South Africa's very own ruling party, the ANC."
In 2008, former president Thabo Mbeki said the government was taking "collective responsibility" for its failure to ignore Eskom's warnings that resulted in load-shedding. This proved to be the forerunner of an oft-to-be-repeated but meaningless taking of collective responsibility by the ANC. When the ANC takes collective responsibility, no one takes responsibility.
Grootes reminds us of the ugly history of the power stations. In November 2007, symbolically just a month before our first load-shedding, Chancellor House (the ANC's investment arm) received 25% of the local arm of Hitachi. Hitachi won the contracts to build the boilers for the power stations, worth about $5.6 billion.
As a result of a United States Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into corruption by Hitachi, the Commission described Chancellor House as "a front" for the ANC. This allowed the ANC to share in the profits from any power station contracts secured by Hitachi. Hitachi also agreed to give Chancellor House a "success fee" in the event that the contract awards were "substantially as a result" of Chancellor's efforts. In April and July 2008, Hitachi paid Chancellor House "success fees" totalling approximately $1 million.
Subsequently, a US court found that Hitachi had made improper payments to Chancellor House. The above is a summarised extract from the judgment against Hitachi.
Grootes gives a brief account of the damage done by the 'deplorables': Jacob Zuma, Lynne Brown, Ben Ngubane, Brian Molefe, Mosebenzi Zwane, the Guptas, Matshela Koko et al.
Crucially, Grootes reminds us that these people would have been deployed by the ANC's deployment committee whose workings the ANC refuses to disclose. Ramaphosa chaired this committee from 2013 to 2017.
Back to Ramaphosa's letter: "And yet, Medupi is impressive. Once the work to correct the problems with its design and construction is complete, it is expected to contribute around 4,700 megawatts into the national grid, producing enough power in a year to meet the electricity needs of more than a million people."
Between Grootes' article on the morning of 9 December and the early evening of the same day, Eskom went from Stage 4 load-shedding to an astonishing Stage 6.
On 11 December on Politicsweb, former deputy finance minister and NEC member, Mondli Gungubele reminds us that he was on the parliamentary inquiry into Eskom and that the committee "deliberately allowed the electricity supplier to have poor capacity. There was no intervention on wrongdoings". Individuals dismantled functioning institutions "without providing alternative models".
"It is us who messed up Eskom…It happened on our watch". Gungubele says although it happened under the ANC's watch, under Ramaphosa's leadership the ANC would stabilise Eskom. "We can now be trusted."
And what of minister of mineral resources and energy Gwede Mantashe? Only Mantashe has the authority to enter into agreements with private companies, which have installed generating capacity to sell into Eskom's grid.
Mantashe says "he won't be rushed". Fittingly, on 10 December the Democratic Alliance called for Mantashe to be fired – he clearly is incapable of seeing the urgent need to act.*
Ramaphosa believes that our "suite of major state-owned enterprises" have great assets, a large and diverse cohort of skilled people, and solid track records. If they do have such cohorts there are either far too few of them or they're being stymied by incompetent and/or corrupt superiors.
"Already, we have done much," he goes on. "Soon after taking office in February last year, we took steps to strengthen governance and reinforce effective management at strategic SOEs. New boards have been appointed and executives with the requisite skills and experience have been put in place." It is a very poor record to have spent two years changing everything but achieving less than nothing.
"Some of the problems at SOEs have been caused by outdated business models that are no longer fit for purpose. It is for this reason, for example, that Eskom is in the process of establishing three separate entities for generation, transmission and distribution. This will not only help Eskom overcome some of its financial and operational challenges, but it will contribute to a more efficient, cost-effective and sustainable energy sector."
The reality is that the future unbundling of Eskom tells us nothing about what is being done now. The rest of the letter can be read here.
The letter emanates from a president who lives in a smart city a long, long way from here. Ramaphosa has said that ongoing rotational power cuts are causing great harm to the economy and disrupting the lives of citizens. No kidding! Tell us something we don't know!
* Mantashe announced (10 December) that short- and medium-term interventions to meet our energy demands and address electricity would be taken. These include steps to allow Independent Power Producers to come on stream sooner. This was an "an urgent and immediate task to ensure economic growth", he said. Wakey, wakey!

The redevelopment of the former Carillion headquarters has reached the halfway mark. The site, which is being converted into an £11m co-living development, now has more than 100 studios completed.
The Studios24, at Birch Street, Wolverhampton, will eventually have 201 en-suite rooms arranged as apartments, with shared facilities including kitchens, working and relaxation areas, a café and bar, gym, laundry and high-speed internet.
Around 40 new jobs have been created by the development.
The Studios24 director Barry Glantz said: "It's been a journey to reach this point as no-one else has developed co-living accommodation in the Midlands before, so it's really great to see the place buzzing with activity and residents enjoying their studios and the rest of the facilities.
"It's been amazing to watch our dream of bringing co-living to Wolverhampton become an exciting reality. Now, we are at the halfway stage after completing phase two and we are moving on to phase three.
Barry is exploring co-living development opportunities in Midlands cities such as Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley and Solihull, and further afield.
