Enjoying Glendalough
In Glendalough valley, the titanic forces of the last great ice age have sculpted a landscape where the wild spirit of the Wicklow mountains mingles with an air of peace and serenity. For many, Glendalough's awe-inspiring setting coupled with its ancient history and rich biodiversity make it easy to relish. Visitors can wander along the lakeshore, follow waymarked paths deep into the woods, or scale the steep cliffs that envelop this ancient sanctuary, where the beauty that attracted the wandering ascetic St Kevin still abounds. Highlights include a deserted miners village that sits beneath looming cliffs where peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) roost, the Poulanass Waterfall, and 'the Spinc', from the anglicisation of 'An Spinc', meaning a 'pointed hill' which separates Glendalough valley from the Glenmalure valley and furnishes spectacular views of the lakes and valley as well as the mountains beyond.
Glendalough is also the National Parks and Wildlife Services headquarters within the Wicklow Mountains National Park. Their head office and an education centre are situated in the valley. Due to the vulnerability of the lakes and their designation as a nature preserve, many water-based activities are restricted on the upper and lower lakes. Canoeing, kayaking, power boating, water-skiing and jet skiing are not permitted.
Enjoying the Lakes of Killarney
The lakes of Killarney are a renowned scenic attraction that offer plenty in the way of stunning scenic walks as well as kayaking routes. Killarney and the surrounding district have some of the best salmon and trout waters in Ireland and constitute an ideal basecamp for fishing enthusiasts. For those with a head for heights, the lakes lie in a mountain-ringed valley, among them Ireland's highest, Carrauntoohil, at 1,038 m.
There are many sites of natural, historic and religious interest in the area of the lakes, largely contained by the surrounding Killarney National Park. On the shores of various islands lie Ross Castle, Muckross Abbey and Muckross House. Ross Island, a peninsula on the eastern shore of Lough Leane, is the site of the earliest known copper mines in the UK or Ireland, dating back to 2,400 BC. The area was also extensively mined in the early 19th century by the Herbert family of Muckross House. Muckross Peninsula, which separates Lough Leane from Muckross Lake, contains one of the few yew woods in Europe. Yew woods are very rare and as a result are afforded the highest level of protection under Irish and European Law.
Enjoying Lough Carra
Over the centuries, Lough Carra has drawn many great writers, poets, artists and scientists to this picturesque corner of Co Mayo. Although Lough Carra has a rich and ancient history, today the lake is an important tourist attraction and anglers' haven. It also provides significant habitat for Mayo's abundant flora and fauna, both common and rare. Recreational activities on the lake include canoeing, leisure boating and swimming.
The conservation value of the lake includes the continued presence of otters (Lutra lutra) and white-clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes). Lakeshore habitats include Cladium fen, alkaline fen, limestone pavement and orchid-rich grassland. Indeed, the lakeshore has at least 18 species of orchid and boasts what is probably the best wild orchid site in the country. Lough Carra is a top angling destination with a world-class wild brown trout fishery; pike fishing is also a major recreational activity on the lake.
The surrounding area around Lough Carra is rich in archaeological heritage and dotted with a plethora of forts, raths and crannogs. Among the most impressive sites is the Burriscarra Medieval Ecclesiastical Complex.
Enjoying Lough Derg
Lough Derg has been described as the "Jewel in the Crown" of Ireland's midwestern region. Rich in wildlife, its many islands offer excellent habitat for significant stocks of wild brown trout, pike, perch, roach and bream, among others. As a tourist destination for angling, sailing, cruising and other water sports, Lough Derg is significant.
Lough Derg offers visitors breathtaking scenery. Much of the land around the lake rises quite steeply, with areas such as the "Look Out" or the "Graves of the Leinster Men" providing views of the lake comparable with any of the more well-known tourists spots in Ireland. Furthermore, the islands near Mountshannon are home to Ireland's re-introduced white-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla); their wingspan, with a midpoint of 2.18 m, is on average the largest of any eagle. The Slieve Aughty Mountains, which rise above the Western shores of Lough Derg, are also home to one of Ireland's most threatened birds of prey, the Hen Harrier (Cyrcus cyaneus).
In the nineteenth century, Lough Derg played an important role in the transport of goods throughout the country. Navigable over its full 40 km length, Lough Derg is today popular with cruisers and other pleasure craft. Nenagh in Co. Tipperary is the closest sizeable town to Lough Derg, though along the Tipperary shoreline, the villages of Terryglass, Dromineer and Garrykennedy all have marinas and facilities for boating, sailing and fishing. On the Clare shoreline, the villages of Scariff, Whitegate and Mountshannon offer similar facilities. The University of Limerick has an activity centre by the lake just north of Killaloe, where it's possible to experience canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing, dinghy-sailing, and other recreational activities.
Enjoying The Barrow
The Barrow Valley is one of Ireland's best-kept secrets, comprised of an unspoiled passage through the southeast's most beautiful landscapes. There are a range of sporting activities available along Ireland's second longest river, while a range of other, more relaxing activities, such as cruising on private barges, can also be enjoyed. Many events are held during the year, including walking festivals, boating regattas and music and art festivals. The Barrow Way is a long-distance walking trail which follows the original towpath of the river; it's one of Ireland's most scenic long distance trails, but remains largely unexplored.
The River Barrow is renowned as angling river suitable for both coarse and game pursuits, with fish species present including bream, roach, dace, hybrids, rudd, perch, pike, brown trout, salmon and white trout.
Enjoying The Blackwater
The river Blackwater is a Salmonid area and is a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). It is world famous for its salmon angling and there are nine trout angling clubs spread along its length. Many of the salmon fisheries along the river are privately owned and are leased out to syndicates over the fishing season. The Blackwater is also a delight for coarse anglers, with good stocks of roach, dace, perch and pike especially around Fermoy and Mallow where international events are held.
The river is only navigable in the tidal reaches from Youghal to Cappoquin and is not connected to any other inland waterway. Therefore boating and cruising activity on the river is minimal, especially above Cappoquin. It is well used by rowers and kayakers however. Fermoy has one of the oldest rowing clubs in the country, established in 1884, and had two members represented Ireland at the last Olympic Games.
Enjoying The Liffey
The easiest way to enjoy the Liffey is simply to take a stroll along its banks. Water lilies, Irises and bulrushes are common in the shade of willow and alder, as are the electric flashes of damselflies and even kingfishers. The Liffey Valley Park Alliance has produced a series of riverside walking trail guides, available here.
Upstream from Dublin city, at Chapelizod, the river is used by number of rowing clubs. Further up at the Strawberry Beds the Irish Canoe Union has its training centre and the stretch of the Liffey between Lucan and the Strawberry Beds is wonderful resource extensively used by a number of kayak clubs throughout the year. The Liffey Descent canoeing event, held each year since 1960, covers a 27 km (17 mi) course from Straffan to Islandbridge. The Liffey Swim takes place every year in late August or early September between Watling Bridge and The Custom House.
For a guide to angling on the Liffey, along with a map of Liffey fishing in the Dublin area click here.
Enjoying The Shannon
The River Shannon is probably the single most significant feature in the Irish landscape. It is the longest river in Ireland and Britain and drains one fifth of the area of Ireland. It runs through the great central plain like a silver spine. This great divide has had a lasting effect on the very fabric of Irish culture and is closely bound up with Ireland's social, cultural, military, economic and political history. To properly document the significant historical, archaeological and natural features that can be found between the shannon pot and the shannon estuary would take a life times effort.
The Shannon has been an important waterway since antiquity, having first been mapped by the Graeco-Egyptian geographer Ptolemy. Today the beauty and ease of navigation on the Shannon, along with its excellent lakes means that the river is the centre for inland water sports in Ireland. There is a significant tourist market for boat rentals during the summer as beginners can cruise large sections of the river without having to go through any locks. The Shannon is ideal for canoe touring and kayaking, and Shannon trails have developed a kayak and canoeing guide to the Shannon with trail maps and practical advice. You can also find a list of canoe trail operators in the catchment here.
The River Shannon with its numerous islands, backwaters, pools, bends and quiet bays, in addition to open lakes, forms an enormous and richly diverse fishery, which holds great stocks of a wide variety of fish including salmon, brown trout, bream, tench, rudd, roach, hybrids, eels, pike and perch. See www.fishinginireland.info for more information of fishing on the Shannon.
Enjoying Lough Erne
Lough Erne is renowned as one of the most beautiful waterways in Europe with many activities and sights to be enjoyed by any visitor. It is a canoeist's dream, with the Lower Lough providing rough open water adventure and the meandering backwaters of the Upper Lough ideal for beginners. An award winning canoe trail provides a map, which gives practical advice on everything required for an enjoyable canoe trip. You can also visit the website of the Erne branch of the Inland Waterways Association for more information on cruising and boating on the Erne. Alternatively you can explore the river by bike with stretches of the Kingfisher Trail, the first long-distance cycle trail in Ireland, which hug the shore of Lough Erne, making it the perfect eco-friendly of way of enjoying the lakes under your own steam. Trail maps are available here.
The Lough is a mixed coarse and game fishery with the Upper and Lower Loughs together forming one of Ireland's most diverse fishing waters. The Lower Lough reaches depths of over 200 feet making it ideal for Brown Trout whilst the Upper Lough, with its vast reed beds provides ideal habitat for Pike. For more information on angling visit the Fermanagh Lakelands tourism-fishing guide.

EPL: Klopp signs new contract with Liverpool
By Adejayan Gbenga - 1 year ago
Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has signed a new contract extension that will keep him at Anfield until 2024.
Liverpool FC made this known in a statement on their official website on Friday.
The statement read: "Liverpool Football Club are delighted to announce Jürgen Klopp has agreed a contract extension with the club.
"The manager will extend his Reds tenure until 2024, ensuring he will remain at the helm for a further four-and-a-half years.
Assistant managers Peter Krawietz and Pepijn Lijnders have also agreed deals to continue working collaboratively alongside Klopp.
"The deal comes after four hugely successful years in charge of Liverpool for the 52-year-old and will ensure the long-term foundations for the team's – and indeed club's – development will continue well into the next decade."
Klopp, speaking on why he signed a new deal, told the club's official website: "For me personally this is a statement of intent, one which is built on my knowledge of what we as a partnership have achieved so far and what is still there for us to achieve.
"When I see the development of the club and the collaborative work that continues to take place, I feel my contribution can only grow.
"People see what happens on the pitch as a measure of our progress and although it is the best measure, it's not the only measure. I have seen the commitment from ownership through to every aspect and function of the club you can think of.
"When the call came in autumn 2015, I felt we were perfect for each other; if anything, now I feel I underestimated that. It is only with a total belief that the collaboration remains totally complementary on both sides that I am able to make this commitment to 2024."

Windows 7-based Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet P1 announced
Windows 7-based Lenovo IdeaPad...
Lenovo has unveiled its plans to release the 10.1-inch Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet P1, running Windows 7
Along with a pair of Android 3.1-based tablets, Lenovo has unveiled its plans to release the 10.1-inch Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet P1, powered by the 1.5GHz Intel Atom CPU and running the Windows 7 OS. Despite the fact that this system is not as tablet-tailored as Android Honeycomb, and Windows 8 has already been revealed as a touch-optimized OS, Lenovo apparently believes there still is a market for a Win 7-based tablet. The device is due out in the fourth quarter of 2011.
The IdeaPad Tablet P1 features a 1280 x 800 capacitive touchscreen with multi-touch, which can also be operated via a stylus. There's up to 2GB of DDR2 memory, and either 32GB or 64GB of internal memory (SSD), which is expandable through a micro SD card reader. The tablet comes with Bluetooth, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, 10/100M LAN, 1x USB 2.0 port and an optional 3G modem. There's an integrated front-facing webcam, although unlike the newly-announced Android-based arrivals from Lenovo, the rear camera is missing.
The tablet is equipped with a single 1.5W speaker, as well as a microphone and headphone connectors. The 2-cell battery is capable of delivering up to 6 hours of battery life. The tablet weighs 1.75 lbs (0.79 kg) and its dimensions are 279 x 14.5 x 184 mm (10.9 x 0.57 x 7.24 in). There's no word on pricing at this point.

Lenovo's tablets look nice, I believe the thinkpad tablet has the best chance with its finger touch, or stylus interface and its dock along with reasonable price point. For considering the Windows version, I would rather wait until Windows 8.

"It was the adrenaline rush from the skydive that got me kick-started. The feeling was so intense – from then on it was a case of looking for more extreme sports to get that buzz again. I was an adrenaline junkie looking for my next fix," says Dean.
When trying to get involved with organised adventure sports trips, many companies would tell Dean he wasn't able to take part because he's blind.
He set up Extreme Dreams as a thank-you to the companies that allowed him to participate. The website logs most of the activities he has completed so far.
"Over the past 15 years I've clocked up about 70 activities, which have taken place all over the world. It certainly keeps me busy – I'm always planning the next one," he says.
"This year has actually been a quiet year because I promised my wife I'd sit back a bit and let her conquer some of her own activities.
"She's involved in a lot of the adventure stuff I do, helping me on the safety boat in swimming events, getting me to places and things like that. So she's recently done a few triathlons and I've just relaxed a bit," says Dean.
"The average person's idea of a quiet year wasn't mine though. I've still done a few events here and there. For instance I did a kayak race, a microlight flight and stuff like that. A lot of people look at me and say that's not a quiet year at all," he laughs.
"I generally do sea kayaking in a two-man kayak because it's safer that way, rather than me paddling off into the distance on my own. I don't do any activity alone. I'll always have a guide of some sort with me.
Dean completed a daredevil canyoning challenge in Spain which had defeated some of his sighted peers . The high-thrills activity involved abseiling, jumping and sliding to reach the bottom of a canyon.

Viral marketing is that that is in a position to generate interest and also the potential sale of a whole or product through messages that unfold sort of a virus, in alternative words, quickly, and from person to person. The idea is for it to be the users themselves that opt to share the content.
Due to their speed and ease to share, social networks are the natural habitat of this kind of marketing. The most widespread example in recent times is that the creation of moving, stunning or spectacular videos on YouTube, which are then shared on Facebook, Twitter and other channels.
The reason to create use or virality, the benefit in spreading and sharing, is however a double-edged sword. We cannot forget that in this type of campaign, a large part of the control falls into the hands of the users, and we risk the message being misinterpreted or parodied. On the opposite hand, a successful viral campaign will work miracles for your brand's results.
There is a standard idea that viral marketing depends on the power to dependably produce one thing very common. In reality, a prosperous viral marketing campaign rests additional on understanding a way to connect with specific demographics by presenting them with valuable content.
Viral marketing could be a customer-focused approach, that the opening move is to spot the target demographic for a product and what they worth the foremost in product, requiring marketers to research and analyze demographic data. During the blair Witch campaign, the filmmakers and main marketing agents for the flick were accomplished film students. They examined what created horror movies compelling for the demographic of teens to young adults they were targeting, likewise as explored however that demographic shared info. They used this info to concentrate on their product's mystery, and that they concentrated their early efforts on the net wherever they knew they'd have the best probability of reaching a younger audience.
Once a company is aware of what its target demographic desires and the way they impart, they start making content those individuals can wish to share. The blair Witch team created websites, message boards, and fake news stories that heightened the horror and mystery of the movie's story. The content encouraged people to seem for additional info regarding the story, and even collaborate with their friends in their investigations.
Viral marketing is a continual, interactive process. A company that implements a viral campaign shouldn't simply let it run its course without adjustment. The Tony Blair Witch campaign remained active on net message boards, interacting with real fans and regularly updating websites with more information based on fan discussions. It, like most viral campaigns, succeeded because it grew along with the interest in the product.
The majority of viral marketing campaigns involve net platforms. Any company that desires to achieve infectious agent promoting desires the services of a talented net designer to form websites and alternative on-line materials. Web style could be a extremely technical field involving many computer programing languages and a good sense of visual composition.
A web designer ought to have a Bachelor of Science degree in marketing, computer science, or new media, or an arts degree in design. In addition to a resume with computer-focused add it, net designers typically have to be compelled to give work samples demonstrating their ability to form websites.
A viral campaign is only pretty much as good because the content it needs people to share. Content specialists produce materials like videos, games, blog posts, and different things customers can wish to share with others. This requires a various vary of skills in new media, creativity, and communications.
Content specialists ought to have bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, public relations, or business. Previous expertise in an exceedingly media-focused position is very useful still.
Most forms of marketing, viral strategies among them, benefit greatly from research into the trends and habits of consumers. A market investigator reads existing shopper information and conducts original analysis to work out what customers wish and the way to succeed in them. These tasks demand nice attention to detail, computer literacy, and strong communication skills.
Market researchers ought to have a bachelor's degree in marketing, business, psychology, sociology, or data analysis. It is helpful to even have a background in management or statistical analysis.
So, that corporations have used viral marketing to spread their whole to the masses? Here ar eleven viral examples we are able to learn from.
Hotmail => Hotmail is one among the foremost classic examples of thriving viral marketing. They offered free e-mail to the masses, and simply attached a signature at the bottom of each e-mail message that promoted their free service. Every single e-mail sent by a Hotmail user contained this message, thus spreading it like a virus. Recipients would see the ad, and as a result, they too signed up for Hotmail.
Subservient Chicken => Burger King's 2004 viral marketing campaign for his or her chicken sandwiches shows simply however fun going viral is. The Subservient Chicken was a person wearing a chicken outfit who would perform no matter action you commanded him to. Just one day when the site's launch, one million people had already given their commands to the subservient chicken.
Watchmen => One of the most recent examples on this list, Watchmen's viral campaign has consisted of fake newscasts and mock PSAs. Judging from the buzz on-line, these videos do their job. Fans are pumped up, and anxiously awaiting the movie's release.


I'll admit that before spending a snowy weekend in NYC last winter, I wasn't truly privy to the wonder that is the puffer coat. Not only is this jacket style incredibly warm (as in, hanging-out-by-a-fireplace warm), but thanks to the seal of approval from our favorite designers and style icons, it's also on trend for yet another consecutive season. My pick for F/W 18 is a printed option from Michael Kors that conveniently looks super cool with both my daytime and nighttime outfits. Talk about a win-win. Ahead, see two ways I'll be styling this pretty puffer from now until spring.
The floral print stands out in a sea of solid puffer jackets.
The perfect leather pants with a cool kick-flare hem.
This simple black belt bag gets a 2018 update with the added chain belt.
No laces? No problem. Slide these sneakers on for an instantly cool athleisure-inspired look.
Classic aviators are great, but embellished ones are even better.
In case you wanted a second look at my new favorite puffer.
I'll be wearing this festive skirt to every holiday party this year.

When it comes to the salad game, I'm pretty traditional. Most days, I settle for a classic mixed greens salad with cucumber, tomato and a balsamic vinaigrette of some sort and I never get tired of it.

So now that Greece is out of the World Cup (yes I know the U.S. is too) I am able to re-introduce international foods into my diet without backhandedly supporting opposing teams. It will however, be a long time before I can look at a Belgium waffle the same way again.
Just kidding. I love waffles.
Anywho, I've got a Greek salad recipe for you today. Simple. Classic. Sour. All things that make up a great salad in my opinion. Why I feel the need to tell you it's in my opinion when it's written by me on my blog I don't know. Maybe you like sweet salads? If so that's cool. You just won't want to eat this one.
Add all of the above ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Toss. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk garlic, mustard, vinegar and spices together. Add olive oil and whisk until combined.
Dress salad lightly and then add more as needed. Plate and serve.

Marianne Eloise: "People dismiss your illness if you're not bleeding on the floor"
The writer's memoir uses her life as someone diagnosed as autistic to fuel intense dives into pop culture.
By Sarah Manavis
Photographed for the New Statesman by Zoe Childerley
Over the last ten years a moral panic has been steadily growing about a rise in diagnoses for neurodivergent mental disorders. An apparent increase in autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has triggered breathless debates about its possible causes, what it means and whether we are over-diagnosing. The people at the heart of the issue are often drawn in a crass, stereotypical way in such discussions. Their own voices are almost always absent and they are rarely given space to be seen as anything beyond reductive labels.
This is exactly the space that Marianne Eloise aims to create in Obsessive, Intrusive, Magical Thinking, an essay collection out on 7 April that charts her interests and reflections through the lens of her uniquely obsessive brain, driven by autism, ADHD and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Eloise is best known as a culture writer, whose work on television, music and wellbeing has appeared in New York Magazine, the New York Times and the Guardian. Her book covers similar territory to her usual work; it is split into three sections — obsessive, intrusive and magical — and its essays range from academic-style deep dives on popular culture (Eloise says she cited the Twilight series in her master's dissertation) to thoughtful meditations about the allure of Los Angeles, where she has lived.
In July 2020 Eloise was already pitching Obsessive to publishers when, aged 27, she was diagnosed as autistic with ADHD. She wrote about the experience for the New York Times: "I expected to be ambivalent [about a diagnosis], but I wasn't: I was euphoric… After pursuing it for five years, the diagnosis gave me certainty, solidity and the strength to articulate my needs to others. I looked back on the past anew, seeing my own behavior through a softer lens and pinpointing where others could have been kinder. I wished only that I hadn't lost so much of my life hating myself."
She tells me over Zoom, from her home in Brighton, that the diagnosis made everything click. "In the case of being autistic, it explained my sensory issues and how I had struggled with certain things socially," she says, "but it also explained my being so obsessively interested in things." She tells me that she would often skip school to play with Lego for hours or would stay up all night staring at maps.
Though she has spoken about it infrequently, Eloise tells me that since her autism diagnosis people have judged her through their own beliefs about how she, as an autistic person, should act in the public eye. When her New York Times piece went viral, for example, most responses were positive but there was an aggressive slew of criticism from a small handful of people arguing that she didn't seem truly autistic.
"I talk about being autistic, but I really don't talk about the hardest parts because it's embarrassing and it's my business," she says. "But then, because I don't do that, people say I'm lying." She says it's similar to women who speak about having been assaulted. "They're like: if you don't give us every single gory detail, and leave your heart on the table, we just won't believe you."
This issue of language is one that persists in discussions about neurodivergence: arguments about how much or little people should say about being autistic, or whether neurodivergence should be seen as a blessing or a curse. Eloise finds that many of these opinions have been projected onto her without context.
"When my book was announced some people were like, 'Oh, I'm just so proud that she's so honest about suffering from autism,'" she says, "and I was like, 'I never said I was suffering from autism.'" This, she says, is not uncommon.
"I don't want to be like, 'It's a gift!'" she adds, "but I never said it was suffering. I don't want to be 'cured.' There are certain things I could live without, but I like things about myself that are probably because I'm autistic, and I wouldn't want to get rid of that."
While Eloise's experience of autism is embedded into every one of Obsessive's essays, she stresses that this isn't a book about autism. And she's right: it instead explores topics from finding a sense of place, to overcoming fear, to Greek mythology, to (arguably the best essay) the history of Disneyland. Autism is simply one of the reasons for the intensity of her interests. "I do talk about being autistic very briefly in the introduction," she says, "but it's just a primer, to be like, 'This is why my brain is like this.'"
Many of the essays are also underpinned by Eloise's experiences of physical illness. She suffers from chronic pain caused by Ehlers-Danlos syndrome — which is, for reasons unknown, common among autistic people — and crippling migraines that can last days. I ask if she finds she receives more sympathy for her physical illnesses than her mental ones. "I think people are equally dismissive, whatever it is, if you're not like bleeding on the floor in front of them," she replies.
Having read Eloise's work for years, it did not come as a surprise that the book wasn't entirely about her experience of being autistic. She largely writes about culture and the world in general. However, she tells me that interviewers and reviewers have been narrow in their focus, casting her sensationally as "the woman diagnosed late".
"It feels voyeuristic, basically," she says. "When there's a hundred different topics in this book and there's so much going on, why is this the one fundamental thing about me that is interesting to you? I want to talk about Disney!"
Overcoming this reductive view of autistic people is fundamental to what she wants Obsessive to be — using her brain's obsessive predisposition purely as the fuel to delve into pop culture, place and how we learn to understand ourselves. "So many books about autism are by parents, and about autism being such a horrible burden on them," she says sarcastically. "I want people to understand that autistic people also have opinions and a voice and interests, and that neurodivergent people don't have to cut themselves open and do things they feel uncomfortable with just because someone wants permission to exploit their identity."

39 years old Abdulhalim Akçay is on a very difficult adventure. He is touring the whole of Turkey on his bicycle. His goal is to visit 81 provinces and 800 districts of the country. Indeed it is not a simple task.
I am trying to follow him through his daily posts in the social media. I intend to keep our readers abreast of his movements .
Starting on 28th November 2018, presently he is touring the western part of the country. So far he has visited TEKİRDAĞ, KIRKLARELİ, EDİRNE, ÇANAKKALE, MANİSA and İZMİR.
During the last week, he stayed for over 2 days in İzmir, where he was not only interviewed by television channels, but also had sufficient time to rest and to meet the people, who either follow him on social media or met him on the way. He took a tour of the city and took photographs.
He reached Karaburun on 2nd February, from İzmir. On this route he went through KEMALPAŞA, NAZAR KÖY and URLA.
He reached KÜÇÜKBAHÇE on 4th February, 2019 from KARABURUN. It was a difficult route, which made him terribly tired at the end of the day.
However the next day (5th February 2019) he travelled for a short distance of 39km to reach ILDIR. He took the opportunity to take a complete rest there. He visited interesting historical places in that area.

Q: InputStream to a list in Scala I am trying to read a file as input stream and then convert the contents of the file into a list in scala. Here is my code
val fileStream = getClass.getResourceAsStream("src/main/scala-2.11/com/dc/returnsModel/constants/abc.txt")
val item_urls = Source.fromInputStream(fileStream).getLines.toList

This does now work. I get a NullPointer Exception.
How do I correct this?
However, this works(but I cant use it in a JAR File)
val item_urls = Source.fromFile("src/main/scala-2.11/com/dc/returnsModel/constants/aa.txt").getLines.toList

A: getClass.getResourceAsStream does not expect a full path, it searches for the requested file in the classpath using the same class loader as the current class.
Fixing this depends a bit on the structure of your project and class that calls this code:

*

*If the class returned by getClass is in the same package as the file you're trying to load (com.dc.returnsModel.constants), then you should simply reference the file name only:
getClass.getResourceAsStream("abc.txt")

*If the class returned by getClass resides in a different package, path should start with a / which represents the root of the classpath, hence the package name must follow:
getClass.getResourceAsStream("/com/dc/returnsModel/constants/abc.txt")

A: You have to provide the correct path starting from root.
Here root is start of your src/scala-2.11 folder in your case.
One example
object SO extends App {
  val resourceStream = SO.getClass.getResourceAsStream("/com/sm.txt")
  println(Source.fromInputStream(resourceStream).getLines.toList)
 }

Proteins are the most versatile among the various biological building blocks. However, the strength of proteins – their versatility and specific interactions – also complicates and hinders their systematic design and engineering. Our lab has been interested in exploiting the modular nature of protein domains to design synthetic complexes that can perform new biological functions. By adding logical components into the design, protein complexes that are dynamic rather than static in nature can be created to adapt to the constantly changing cellular environments. In this presentation, I will outline several successful examples in connecting exchangeable protein domains for predicative engineering applications in (1) energy substantiality and (2) human health.

Cine Maior é uma sessão de filmes da RecordTV, que estreou originalmente em 2007, mas está no ar desde 5 de abril de 2020, com exibição aos domingos, às 14h00.

História
Não se sabe ao certo quando ela estreou, pois ela era uma sessão esporádica (possivelmente em 2007). Já foi exibida em 2011, ás 22h15 da noite, e saiu do ar em 2012.

Em 2013, a sessão voltou ao ar novamente, e agora sendo exibida aos sábados, geralmente ás 17h30 ou 20h30, mas saindo do ar no mesmo ano.

Retornou a grade em 26 de janeiro de 2020, substituindo as reprises do Domingo Show, ficando no ar até 1 de março.

Em 5 de abril de 2020, com o cancelamento do Domingo Show, a sessão voltou a ser exibida aos domingos. O motivo foi por conta da pandemia de COVID-19 segundo um comunicado da emissora. No entanto, a nova fase do programa amargava baixos índices de audiência.

Audiência
A sessão de filmes não costuma dar boa audiência, mas em algumas ocasiões oscila na vice-liderança. No dia 26 de dezembro de 2021, a sessão exibiu o filme Jumanji e marcou apenas 3,8 pontos de média, ficando atrás do SBT, que estava marcando 7 pontos de audiência.

Para tentar reerguer a audiência e mergulhar na popularidade do filme Homem-Aranha: Sem Volta Para Casa, no dia 2 de janeiro de 2022, a sessão exibiu o inédito Homem-Aranha: Longe de Casa. O filme marcou 5,7 pontos, sendo até então a maior audiência da sessão de filmes.

The growing interest in the health benefits of CBD has brought a lot of newcomers to the vaping scene. Many manufacturers of CBD oil are now offering products to meet the demands of the vaping craze, and some are definitely of better quality than others.
If you landed here, you are doing your research to find the highest quality CBD products - good for you! I hope this resource helps you find what you are looking for in a high-quality CBD vape oil.
What is the Difference Between CBD Oil and CBD Vape-Oil?
PG and VG: What Do They Mean?
If you are new on your CBD journey, then you have probably noticed that most manufacturers offer CBD oil tinctures. These products are designed to be taken sublingually, in other words, a few drops under the tongue.
It is important to note that in most cases you CANNOT use CBD oil tinctures in vape gear!
You may see that most CBD Vape-Oil includes either PG or VG and in some cases both in a specified ratio. PG stands for Propylene Glycol, and VG stands for Vegetable Glycerin, and these are the commonly used carrier liquids that work in gear sold for vaping.
Both of these products are natural and non-toxic and considered safe for food by the FDA. Both can be found in common prepared foods that you probably have in your fridge right now.
PG tends to be a thinner consistency, and it has less build up of gunk, making vape gear last a little longer before you need to change out the wick. They also tend to have more of that "throat hit" feel than VG does, which can be especially important to former or current cigarette smokers.
On the other hand, VG is thicker and it can clog up gear faster. Some people report that too much VG can make them feel a little congested as well. However, it has less of a chance of an allergic reaction in some users, and, it is responsible for making larger and denser clouds of vape, which some people appreciate.
There is no one-size-fits-all balance, and most people in the vaping community have to play around a little to find the mix that is right for them.
Vaping is a relatively new technology, and unfortunately, that means the potential health risks are not entirely known or understood, particularly regarding the long-term effects.
One of the most important factors is to make sure you are getting a quality made product from a trusted manufacturer, something that can be difficult to do unless you have done a good deal of research on the industry (or read my reviews!).
However, even then, you should be aware that you are taking some risk when you choose to vape verses, say, taking sublingual tincture drops. This is because we still don't know what the long-term health effects of vaping are.
No. Keep in mind that CBD products are made from hemp, which is defined as containing less than .3% of THC, the main psychoactive ingredient found in cannabis. Even when refined, CBD products cannot exceed this legal limit.
However, after regular use, some people that regularly vape experience an immediate sense of calm or a significant relaxing sensation. Those that take CBD for pain relief also can experience this effect within a few seconds to a minute after inhaling CBD vape oil. It usually is not enough to cause anything like impaired judgement.
It is important to understand that the effects of CBD vape oil can vary from person to person. Regarding the many ways to consume CBD oil, vaping is one of the fastest methods to experience the effects.
In general, the most important quality of the best CBD vape oil is to verify that you are dealing with a trusted manufacturer that maintains a high degree of quality and transparency with their product. In fact, it can take a lot of research to do that these days because there are so many new, fly-by-night companies out there trying to capitalize on this fast-growing market.
That is where I come in. I have spent hundreds of hours researching CBD companies, and you can find honest reviews on this site for dozens of them – both the good and the bad. In this review of the best vape juice, I have included links to the full company review for each brand so you can take a closer look for yourself.
If you are looking for the best CBD vape oil for sale, here are my top choices. I have considered a variety of factors in these selections and feel confident that these manufacturers are putting out a consistent, high-quality product that is what it says it is.
I also looked at factors such as availability of different strengths, flavor selections, and value.
Hemp Bombs is an extremely popular place to go for CBD e-juice for a reason: They have strong quality indicators as a company and offer a huge selection of flavors ranging from sweet and fruity to smooth and sophisticated.
The use a 70/30 VG/PG Split which produces heavy clouds of flavorful vape, with plenty of throat hit to satisfy former smokers. If you are new to vaping, this is a great balance to try as it is a very popular balance.
Their formulas are based on a pure CBD isolate which they say will not flag on a drug test.
They also have pure CBD ejuice additive which is fantastic if you already have settled on a vape juice you love but would like to add the benefits CBD to your vape ritual.
Colorado-based Highland Pharms is a company dedicated to making the benefits of a robust full spectrum hemp oil extracted from pharmaceutical grade industrial hemp developed for it's high CBD content. They work with local growers to continue to develop new and better strains of hemp and use a clean Co2 extraction for all of their products.
Regarding their hemp oil for vaping, they offer some pretty exciting stuff for those looking to explore the different effects of the various terpenes found in cannabis. Highland Pharms is one of the few CBD oil manufacturers offering anything like this, so for the CBD vaping aficionado, this is pretty neat.
Not only can you buy their specific terpene infused vape oils with CBD in a regular ejuice, but you can also buy just the terpenes ready to add to the juice you are already using.
So, if you want to experience a calming effect, then add a few drops of "Chill" terpene booster. Looking for better focus? Try their "Think" blend.
Here is why I think Koi CBD is an excellent choice for beginners: They have a very user-friendly selection that does not require much knowledge regarding the ins-and-outs of vape technology. Just pick a flavor, and a size and you are ready to go.
Another plus for newbies is that Koi CBD offers a full line of vape gear that is reasonably priced. They even have some starter kits that offer a hefty price break for buying all you need to get started vaping CBD.
Although Koi CBD does offer full spectrum CBD tinctures, their ejuice is based on a pure CBD isolate. That means they are THC free, which is good news for many shopping for a CBD product that is safer for workplace drug testing.
Another thing you should know about Koi is that they offer a very significant price cut for veterans, with a 25% lifetime discount for those that qualify. If you want to apply to the program, please do so before ordering. And, P.S. Koi, thanks for that!
If your top priority is finding a great bargain, without worrying about a fake or poorly made product, then I recommend CBDistillery. Founded by Colorado natives, this company is a proud and active member of the CBD community that helps to educate their customers about the benefits of CBD.
They offer third-party testing to assure the quality of their finished product, something that all reputable CBD manufacturers are doing these days. So, you can buy with assurance that you are getting what you are paying for.
They do have a limited selection of both flavors and sizes in their CBD isolate based vape oils, probably part of how they can afford to offer it at such a low price. Another potential downside is the strength of their product, as it is definitely on the potent side and may be too much for those new to consuming CBD.
Vaping CBD is a fast-growing trend that is seeing a huge surge of products available in the marketplace. Knowing where to buy CBD vape oil from the best manufacturers gives you the piece of mind that you are not only getting the CBD you are paying for but that you aren't getting a dose of pesticides or industrial solvents with it!
If you decide to try out one of these brands, do check back and let my readers know about your experience. Together we can help make sure that the best CBD oil for vaping is getting into the hands of the customers that need it most, and we put the shady fly-by-night operations out of business.

Quinoa bowls are delicious and so are the desserts! :) Very reasonably priced for great food. Be careful though - they only start serving hot food at 11 am. I had to wait for longer than the delivery estimate for my food because I ordered at 10:30 but when I called they were very nice about it and said they would specify on their menu that they start cooking hot lunch items only at 11 am.

Beware! The app says 15-30 mins wait time but you will be waiting at least an hour for food from this deli. Not worth the wait, better to order elsewhere. They are kinda aggressive and rude to customers too.
one of the best places ever. i have walked 20 blocks just to get their chicken milano panini. the staff are always lovely and the deliveries are always timely. try one of their dessert bars. just a great place.

Teleon has definitely become my go to lunch spot. I've eaten there well over 10+ times in the recent weeks. The variety is unmatched. Every day there is something new to try and its soooo cheap! Where else can you get bourbon chicken mashed potatoes, steamed veggies and flan for $11??? Delivery is fast and professional as well. Definitely worth a try!

Whoever is writing bad reviews, you must not have taste buds. Teleon Cafe is one of the best lunch places in the city. The food is fresh and delicious. They always have something new so you never get bored. Delivery takes at most 30 minutes, and everyone that works there is very nice and accommodating.

The stir fry is not a stir-fry. It's brown rice with a soupy sauce at the bottom, topped with vegetables soaked in the same soupy sauce. A stir-fry should be wok style vegetables and rice stir-fried together. Sorry.
Home run everytime! They have the best of the best in everything! Kudos to you!!

I got the Vegetarian Sandwich. It was advertised as being on tomato focaccia. It was not focaccia and there were no tomatoes. The sandwich also lacked salt. I also got the Mediterranean Orzo Salad. Parts of it were legitimately frozen. Won't be ordering from here again.
it was ok. nothing to write home about.

Very disappointing. The food arrived 40 minutes late and the sandwiches were comparable to grab-and-go at an airport.

Order took 1hr 8min to arrive after being quoted 15-30 minutes. Called after 1 hour and was told I was far away from them, that is why it is late. I am 16 blocks south of them, not that far to justify the wait.

Left chicken off salad for the second time and additionally left off 2 other salad toss-ins. Extremely dissatisfied. Consistently BAD.

Miller-Uibo, Gardiner win
By BRENT STUBBS
Senior Sports Reporter
bstubbs@tribunemedia.net
While Shaunae Miller-Uibo, with her silver hairstyle, inked her name on another meet record in producing a season's best performance, Steven Gardiner fell shy of eclipsing his own mark as they were both victorious in their respective events in Szekesfehervar, Hungary.
On the eve of Independence Day on Tuesday, Miller-Uibo sprinted around her first half-lap race for 2019 to win the women's 200 metres in 22.18 seconds at the Gyulai Istvan Memorial, a Hungarian Grand Prix meet.
As the 2016 Olympic champion pulled away from the field, she went on to erase the meet record of 22.26 that was posted by Jamaica's Veronica Campbell-Brown in 2011.
In the process, the six-foot, one-inch Miller-Uibo left arch-rivals Marie-Josee Ta Lou and Jenna Prandini trying to catch her. Ta Lou of the Ivory Coast came in second in 22.76 and American Prandini was third in 22.88.
Although she ran away from the field, the 25-year-old Miller-Uibo was just off the world leading time of 22.00 that was produced by Jamaican world champion Elaine Thompson at the Jamaica National Trials in Kingston, Jamaica, on June 23.
The Bahamian double national record holder at 21.88 in the 200m and 48.97 in the 400m is tied for fifth place on this year's world list with Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith with her win in 22.11 in Stockholm, Sweden, on May 30.
Miller-Uibo also tops the 400m list with her 49.05 she established on April 27 in Gainesville, Florida. She is followed closely by Salwa Eid Naser of Bahrain with 49.17 on Friday in Lausanne, Switzerland.
While Miller-Uibo was enjoying her debut in the half-lap race in Szekesfehervar, Naser took care of business in the one-lapper in her winning time of 50.13 over American Phyllis Francis, who did 51.24 and Jamaican Stephenie Ann McPherson (51.76).
Miller-Uibo, however, still holds the meet record of 49.54 that she recorded in her victory in the one-lapper last year. She now holds both the 200/400 records at the meet.
Gardiner triumphed in 400m
Gardiner, on the other hand, was almost as equally impressive over his one-lap victory.
He clocked 44.45 to win the men's 400m, but the world silver medallist was shy of surpassing his meet record of 44.30 that he posted in 2015.
In securing the win, the lanky, 6-2 Abaco native came across the line well ahead of his American counterparts as Tyrell Richard got second in 45.59 and Vernon Norwood was third in 45.62.
The 23-year-old Gardiner's time in Hungary now has him at No.5 on the performance list for 2019.
Four Americans are ahead of him, inclusive of Michael Norman with 43.45, Kahmari Montgomery at 44.23, Stewart Trevor at 44.25 and Rai Benjamin at 44.31.
The double Bahamian national record holder at 19.75 in the 200m and 43.87 in the 400m is also 12th in the 200m, having ran a season's best of 20.04 on April 13 in Coral Gables, Florida.
American Noah Lyles leads 10 other competitors under 20 seconds with his world-leading time of 19.50 done in Lausanne, Switzerland on Friday. American world indoor champion Christian Coleman, in just his second 200m race since June 2017, crossed the line in a meet record of 19.91, well ahead of world champion Ramil Guliyev (20.23) and Canada's Aaron Brown (20.24).
Thomas missed a mark
Donald Thomas also competed in the meet on Tuesday, but he didn't post a mark in the men's high jump that was won by Ilya Ivanyuk, an authorised neutral athlete from Russia, who cleared a world leading height of 2.33 metres or 7-feet, 7 3/4-inches.
Thomas, the 2007 world champion, is not yet on the world's list that includes Jamal Wilson, tied with eight other competitors at 2.25m (7-4 1/2) for his victory in Shanghai, China on May 18 and Trevor Barry, with 2.24m in his victory as well in Opole, Poland on June 23, matched by 13 others for 47th place.
Gaither split sprint double
Coming off her victory in the women's 100m at the Star Athletics Sprint Series in Montverde, Florida on Friday in 11.11, Tynia Gaither showed up at the 2019 Spitzen Leichtathlerik in Lucerne, Switzerland on Tuesday for the sprint double. In the straight-away race, she held on for fifth place in 11.29 in the final after placing third in the second of two heats of the 100 in 11.35 for the fourth fastest time.
Gina Luckenkemper of Germany took the final title in 11.20.
Gaither, 26, came back in the 200m and picked up the crown in 22.69 with Canadian Crystal Emmanuel trailing in 22.90.
From the meet in Montverde, Gaither is now tied with six other competitors in the 100m and her time in the 200m in Lucerne has her pegged at No.12 with American Gabrielle Thomas after she won the half-lap in race in Lausanne on Friday.
Elaine Thompson and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce share the top of the 100m leaderboard after their photo finish at the Jamaica National Trials in Kingston, Jamaica, on June 21.
BAAA Nationals
The Bahamian athletes are all gearing up for the Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations' National Championships, scheduled for the weekend of July 26-28 at the Grand Bahama Sports Complex.
It's the same weekend that the United States will hold their national championships.
From the nationals, athletes will qualify for team selection to the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) World Championships in Doha, Qatar, September 28 to October 6.

Why does South Africa like to needlessly invite the anger of other Africans upon itself?
November 22, 2020 November 27, 2020 by Sang N., posted in Africa, Diplomacy, Lazarus Chakwera, Malawi, Opinion, south africa
Listen to this article here.
If you were to allegorize all of the largely self-inflicted scandals in which the South African state has been embroiled in since 1994, into one being, you'd be forgiven for arriving bang on bullseye at a spoiled child brat; one who despite plenty of warmth & affection bestowed upon them, doesn't fully appreciate the sacrifices others made (and continue to make) on their behalf.
And here I'm not referring to the antics of Msholozi (Nkandla, Guptagate, to name just two), nor the other character failings like that time Jacob Zuma absurdly claimed that having a shower protected him from H.I.V; or that dizzyingly ridiculous episode when Thabo Mbeki, an intellectual among Presidents (not just African Presidents), falsely believed that HIV treatments could be poisonous, so withheld proven, life-saving anti-retrovirals (ARVs) from those in need; a lot of H.I.V stories I know, but stories nevertheless that caused real embarrassment to Africans the world over.
No, I'm not talking about all that. I'm also not referring to the embarrassing disasters, like that time during Mandela's memorial, when the A.N.C clumsily solicited the services of a fake sign language interpreter who was, "signing rubbish" (according to many deaf people who watched the live broadcast) next to international dignitaries – the likes of Barack Obama.
What I'm referring to instead is the vexatious and totally unreasonable behaviour of some people within South Africa who do or say things that no one sensible can ever put a finger on, but which have far reaching consequences, not least tarnishing everything that's good about brand Africa.
Like that time when the Zulu King Zwelithini sparked xenophobic violence (some say the correct term is "afrophobic") against immigrants living and working in South Africa, leading to the death of at least seven people ; Or last year's attacks that killed at least 12 people, and forced the South African government to issue an apology to Nigeria & Ghana. Cyril Ramaphosa even apologised for the violence at Mugabe's funeral, a pacifying act that turned boos to cheers…as if the special envoys sent to the countries whose citizens were mostly affected by the xenophobic violence – Nigeria, Niger, Ghana, Senegal, Tanzania, the DRC, to mend relations weren't a sufficient enough diplomatic gesture. I'm talking about the brawls that keep breaking out in South Africa's parliament (there was at least one in 2017, and another in 2018) . Then there was that almighty near-miss in 2015, when the whole world watched in horror as Oscar Pistorius nearly … nearly escaped justice.
That's even before we get to the uncomfortable topics – like the drink-driving and associated high motor vehicle accident rates in the country, the gender violence, in particular the killing of women; violent crackdowns like the Marikana Massacre, the huge societal inequalities… the list is rather long.
And so, when just over a week ago it was revealed that some military officials at Waterkloof Air Force Base had crafted a situation that forced President Lazarus Chakwera of Malawi to delay his departure from South Africa for 7 hours, over an outrageous suspicion (involving one 'Prophet' Shepherd Bushiri and his wife skipping bail), that shouldn't have been levelled in the first place, Malawians across the world got really angry.
Here, I must declare an interest. Being a Malawian national, this fiasco was particularly insulting for quite a number of reasons. I must also state that for reasons that will become clearer below, I fully support the statement released by Malawi's Foreign Affairs Ministry, a few days after the fiasco.
Firstly, whatever the transgressions of Shepherd Bushiri and his wife – and yes they must face justice in a fair trial if compelling evidence of wrongdoing exists, it was extremely stupid of whoever decided to delay the plane's departure, to drag President Lazarus Chakwera into that hoo-hah. That action alone speaks volumes of South African authorities; the foolishness of those who became suspicious and thought that the Malawian President would stoop so low as to help a wanted person / fugitive escape justice knows no bounds. They're a liability to South Africa, and the proper functioning of South Africa's institutions.
Secondly, when it is the case that a leader like former Sudanese president Omar Al Bashir, who had an ICC arrest warrant hanging over his head for genocide in Darfur, visited South Africa in 2018, and pranced around the country unchallenged without so much as a cotton thread tweezered off his garment, how dare South Africa's police go as far as search president Chakwera's plane…!? How disparaging is such rabid behaviour!?? Incredible… simply astonishing. What happened to diplomacy?
Now, I understand that South Africa's police is not a perfect institution. I mean, the country recently fired its Deputy Police Commissioner, because of corruption. Yup, the second chap in command of the police was involved in a corruption saga, and was showed the exit door. So I understand that there is a bit of a quality/ standards problem there. But just because you have nincompoops in your crime fighting forces doesn't mean that you should transpose the apparent lack of integrity that afflicts some of your institutions onto other countries. Let's be absolutely clear, we're not all crooks, and assuming so is extremely ignorant.
Thirdly, I very much doubt that the Hawks would have done exactly the same thing had another leader, say Vladimir Putin, or Angela Merkel been the visiting dignitary instead of Chakwera. And that's a big problem in South Africa's national psyche. Imagine that the Bushiri-type saga involved a German or Russian fugitive. It's almost unimaginable that South Africa's police would have marched the German or Russian entourage out of the plane, back to the airport concourse, passport in hand, for these so called "security checks". They definitely wouldn't have searched their plane, gone through their luggage, and dehumanised the officials of another sovereign state. No chance. You know why, because of all the reasons that anyone with half a brain can think of, it is extremely unprofessional to do so. But doing it to Malawi's president reveals the kind of attitudes those officials hold towards fellow Africans.
Which begs the question: why do some South African officials seem totally incapable of freeing themselves from from a propensity of generating dishonour? From a tendency of 'crafting' high drama?
As an outsider, this erratic and at times self-sabotaging behaviour coming out from the rainbow nation is not only perplexing but extremely annoying. More so because South Africa happens to have the word "Africa" in the country's name, but at times they behave as though they aren't even African. And if some foreigners look at all the unhinged behaviour, no wonder some of them disrespect the rest of us ("Shithole country" etc). That sort of behaviour gives Africa a bad name.
Mind you, this is the second largest economy in Africa, this is the land that produced greats not only of the stature of Mandela, Oliver Tambo and Walter Sisulu, but also the likes of Steve Biko, Desmond Tutu, Albert Lithuli, Miriam Makeba, Brenda Fassie, Trevor Noah…and Elon Musk, internationally recognized personalities the world over who command a lot of respect, for some to the point of a cult following. You really really want to stand back and ask: Where has the excellence gone, what the hell is wrong with these people?
International celebrities with South African roots
If this all sounds somewhat remote to you, let me try a different angle: If you are an African, do you get pangs of embarrassment or slight discomfort, when someone who is not African, anyone who is not African, during conversation veers into that troublesome topic of … the stereotypical but nevertheless real phenomenon of the Nigerian scammer? That cringey feeling! Like, oh here we go again.
Some apologists say South Africa is a young democracy still in its infancy. That despite the relative economic development, the country is still but a babe learning from it's mistakes. That with time, things will be ok. As optimistic and soothing to the ear as that may sound, I'm not sure I buy the argument entirely. Unlike countries like South Sudan – which have also had a tumultous and violent history as South Africa has had, but whose national polity arose from a tiny city-state province, South Africans gained their freedom at a point when institutions within their country had already been established and were already arguably strong; with some of the leading Universities in Africa, sprawling cities, a sound legal system and a mature financial system. Thus, the mere addtion of democracy (i.e. majority rule) to that equation ought not to, ordinarily, lead to too much dysfunction. So something else is going on.
Other sympathisers say South Africa is still trying to catch up; that the country is still in transition. The proponents of this argument say that while other African countries have had decades-long headstarts to properly educate their peoples (without discrimination), and many more years to cement their various versions of Pan-Africanism, Black South Africans couldn't get the kind of quality education necessary for the rebuilding of a stable, functional and fair society for a very long time. And so, the dysfunction and blunders associated with the post-Apartheid South African state are just a natural if not inevitable consequence of that deficiency; what in Chichewa we would call "Chimizi" for lack of a better term. Similarly, the Afrophobia is but a dredge of the hatred that was once thrown at black south Africans by Apartheid. But even this explanation is not entirely convincing.
I think some South Africans just don't want to learn. I also think too many South Africans don't know as much of their country's history and the role other African countries played in securing South Africa's freedom, as they should; that there is this lazy, ignorant, drunken almost schizophrenic tendency in some people in South Africa to always blame others for their own failures or misfortune.
"You see it the way some South Africans hate Zimbabweans" a friend told me recently. "Instead of getting up and actually working as hard as the Zimbabweans who they like to blame, they find it much easier to just hate and blame them"
Another friend said South Africa's problem is its misplaced sense of superiority:
"Too many people in South Africa have this high-mindedness that they are better than other Africans. And that creates a problem especially when the people you're looking down on happen to be the very same people who helped you gain your freedom"
