Famine Looms in Former Boko Haram Stronghold in NE Nigeria
By Lisa Schlein
Nigeria Boko Haram Hunger
GENEVA - The United Nations is warning that more than 1.4 million people in northeastern Nigeria could face famine by September because of a severe funding shortage. To date, only 28 percent of the U.N. appeal for more than $1 billion to provide humanitarian aid for nearly seven million people has been received.
Since Boko Haram militants began their armed rebellion against the government of Nigeria in 2009, the United Nations estimates more than 20,000 people have been killed, nearly two million are internally displaced inside the country, and about 200,000 have taken refuge in neighboring Cameroon, Chad and Niger.
Government forces have recaptured much of the territory held by Boko Haram, but the security situation remains fragile.
The U.N. humanitarian coordinator in Nigeria, Edward Kallon, says food is in short supply and traditional coping measures have been exhausted.
"Although the humanitarian response has increased substantially, we have not turned the corner yet," he said. "If the funding situation is not sustained, the situation can easily relapse into a famine situation."
Kallon says 43,000 people already are in a state of famine.
Nigeria has entered the so-called lean season when food stocks are at their lowest. U.N. estimates indicate 2.8 million people will be in urgent need of food between June and September. This is also the rainy season, a period when disease outbreaks are expected.
The situation means some of the 450,000 severely malnourished children could die, according to Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria Peter Lundberg.
"If they die, they will most likely die from disease that could be easily prevented if their immune system had been much stronger," Lundberg told VOA. "So, what we will see is that people will die from diarrhea disease or malaria or anything else that they normally would be able to survive if they were in a much better nutritional condition."
The United Nations says people in northeastern Nigeria also are living through a protection crisis. It says thousands are victims of sexual violence and exploitation. According to government statistics, tens of thousands of children and women have been used by Boko Haram, some as suicide bombers.
Trade Slowly Returns to Cameroon-Nigeria Border
Trade is returning to Cameroon's border communities more than two years since the start of the regional military offensive against Boko Haram militants. But as security improves, local officials warn Boko Haram remains a threat. Hundreds of buyers and sellers assembled at the Ngule market near Achigachia as police and a few soldiers stood guard. The town straddles the Cameroon-Nigeria border, which officially reopened in January. At the market, traders sell…

A man died of malaria after being held in Takhmau prison for over a month waiting to be charged in court, a rights worker said recently.
He is the 17th person to die in one of 18 prisons surveyed in Cambodia so far this year and the second to die before being tried in court, statistics from the human rights organization Licadho showed.
Police denied the allegation, saying they provided Sok Sopheaktra with timely medical treatment. The problem was that the victim had an untreatable form of leukemia, not malaria, said Tom Vai, chief of justice police in Kandal province.
The medical death certificate said the patient died of cardiac and respiratory failure as a result of cerebral malaria. Fourteen of the 17 who died in prison succumbed to disease, Licadho statistics showed.
Sok Sopheaktra was arrested on charges of trafficking on Oct 24 and transferred to Takhmau prison two days later.

Boutique Cigar Association of America Partners with FAZCO for Middle East Distribution
The Boutique Cigar Association of America (BCAA) has signed a partnership agreement with Faieq Alzayani Co. W.L.L. (FAZCO) that will bring the organization's cigars to Middle East and North African markets.
The announcement came from Dr. Gaby Kafie, chairman of the BCAA board, and pictured at left, above. He said that the agreement represents a new frontier and a new business model for many American cigar brands who may not have considered markets such as the Middle East and North Africa. "We cannot ignore the opportunity presented to us by our regional partner given the enormous demand for superior quality handmade cigars," he said via a press release.
The BCAA will begin identifying an initial batch of cigars that will head to the Middle East, starting with a release in Bahrain before expanding to the surrounding region via FAZCO distribution, sales and retail network in the region, which has been built over the past 40 years. The two entities are beginning the selection process, looking particularly for brands that can handle the quality and production capacity requirements for the region.
"I have had the pleasure of visiting many premium cigar producers in the United States; what I have seen from all of the BCAA brands and producers is individuals and families whose passion, integrity and commitment to producing some of the world's finest quality cigars are second to none," said Ali F. Alzayani, chairman of FAZCO's board, via a press release. He added that he sees the quality controls and production process of American cigar makers is superior to other manufacturers, and that because of this, he sees the future of cigars as being "new world" offerings.
The BCAA works closely with organizations such as Cigar Rights of America and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to address legislation on behalf of their members, the majority of whom are smaller and medium-sized producers.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it's about so much more than the cigar – it's about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I'm the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for MLB.com, plus I'm a voice over artist. I previously covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.

TCAA, in conjunction with the Texas Municipal League, files amicus briefs and comments in support of cities on many issues. To keep up to date on the status of these issues, go to https://www.tml.org/p/AmicusBriefUpdate_021219.pdf.
Tort Claims Act: VIA Metropolitan Transit Authority v. Meck, No. 18-0458 in the Texas Supreme Court. In this case, VIA's camera recorded the moment when Curtis Meck, a passenger on a VIA bus, reached up to grab a strap. As the driver began to accelerate from a stop, he heard a passenger exclaim "back door!" The video chronicled a commonplace circumstance in buses and cabs and automobiles—a driver's need to stop due to an unanticipated event. Meck testified that the bus's deceleration caused injuries to his neck and wrist. Two VIA training drivers testified that the driver, although new, did not violate the standard by which an ordinary bus driver could be held. But the trial court did not instruct the jury on ordinary care. Instead, it told the jury that VIA owed Meck a "high degree" of care and awarded him damages. The legal issue in the case is whether the Tort Claims Act provides that a public transit authority, exercising purely governmental functions under Chapter 451 of the Transportation Code, can be held to an ordinary-negligence standard of care (as are other governmental entities governed by the Act) or to a "high degree of care"—a slight-negligence standard the law applies to for-profit common carriers. TML joined the Denton County Transportation Authority, the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, and the Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool as amici curiae to argue that the standard of care applied to all governmental entities for negligence in the operation or use of a motor vehicle, as set forth by the Legislature, may not be judicially heightened. The brief was filed on January 25, 2019.

Is remote work for you? Key factors to consider
Should you implement a permanent remote work policy for your organisation?
BY Nurhuda Syed 29 Apr 2021
To remote work or not to remote work? That is the question for most businesses as we transition back into 'normal life'. It's been about a month since the Singapore government greenlighted a return to workplaces, but it's hard to say whether it's led to a drastic change in the way companies worked here.
The news saw mixed reactions in workers: some dreaded or were even fearful of going back to the office, while others welcomed it after enduring a year of isolation or chaos in their crowded family homes. Leaders similarly shared differing views on the issue and many have been vocal about their opinions about the global 'work from home experiment'.
Read more: How to create a remote work policy
Some companies announced that employees can now choose to work from home forever. This includes global firms like Atlassian, Dropbox, Facebook, Reddit, Salesforce, Spotify and Twitter. Of course, the policy only applied to job roles that can be done fully remotely.
Salesforce even declared the 9-5 workday 'dead', a view shared by many leaders, though it should be said that implementing a permanent flexi-work policy can support that same declaration without the need to go fully remote.

Are offices a 'waste of real estate'?
The tech firm's opinion is something that HSBC's top rank can agree with. The bank's CEO told media that being in the office five days a week is "unnecessary". Having a physical office is a "waste of real estate" as he reflected on how underutilised the space was even pre-COVID, when senior staff used to travel all the time.
Post-COVID, HSBC has scrapped the executive floor, with the CEO giving up his prime 'corner office' in London to make way for hotdesking employees. The bank will is planning to turn the offices of the 'big bosses' into client meeting rooms and collaborative work spaces.

'Significant gaps': Employers, employees don't agree on many benefits
Over in Asia, Fujitsu has simultaneously introduced a permanent remote work policy for its Singapore-based staffers and announced a an office redesign to support flexible working. Starting this year all employees based in Singapore can spend up to 90% of their time working from home. Their existing office will be transformed into a collaborative space for those who want to go back in.

Offices are key for collaboration and innovation
Then there's Big Tech honcho Tim Cook with his 'gut feel' that physical offices will be a mainstay in our work lives for a long while. He's said that he 'can't wait' to return to the office. Apple has shifted to remote working amidst the pandemic, but he assured the media that the company is still "very much an in-person team". The CEO is not averse to flexi-work but believes being in a shared workspace is critical for collaboration and innovation because both aren't "always a planned activity".
Leaders in the same camp as Cook are advocates for teammates "bumping into each other" in the office to bounce ideas and brainstorm ways to problem solve work issues – something that's difficult to achieve while working virtually.
Read more: Why remote work isn't for everyone
Remote work is unsustainable
On the other end of the spectrum, there are the naysayers and 'haters' of working from home. Sergio Ermotti, UBS's Group CEO told Bloomberg last year that having the bulk of their organisation work from home was just not sustainable. Ermotti was only comfortable with having about a third of their workforce working remotely on any given day.
Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan's CEO said that working from home for too long would cause both social and economic damage. Dimon drilled it down to a productivity issue, something the firm's analysts noticed as well. Consultants told clients that the work-from-home "lifestyle" particularly affected younger staff, "and overall productivity and 'creative combustion' has taken a hit".
At the outset it may seem like the bulk of the haters are in the financial industry, but Netflix boss Reed Hastings has also famously that he simply "don't see any positives" in remote work. Hastings believes that not being able to get together in person "particularly internationally, is a pure negative".
Read more: Remote work: Leaders reveal key lessons from pandemic
No 'one-size-fits-all' in remote work
It's clear then that going fully remote might not be for every organisation. The pandemic may have given everyone a chance to experience what it's like to work from home, but it doesn't necessarily signal a immediate shift to becoming an entirely virtual world of work. And if you're considering to make the massive change for your organisation, your leadership team would have to first weigh factors like:
Feasibility of going fully remote: Key considerations include capabilities for tech support, logistical issues, and whether job roles are suited for remote work
Company needs and culture: Does going remote align with your values and culture? Can it help sustain a productivity boost in the long term?
Legal risks: Are employees' home office setups 'safe' and conducive for long-term remote work? Can you still meet all aspects of duty of care to staff? Will it result in legal risks such as discrimination or unfair practices by managers?
Read more: Can remote workers claim compensation for injuries?
Legal risks may not be an immediate consideration for companies after a seemingly smooth transition to going fully remote. But if you're seriously considering a permanent policy, leading employment lawyer Goh Seow Hui, partner at Bird & Bird said it's something that needs to be top of mind.
"For example, how do you ensure that the employees' home is a safe workplace?" she told HRD. "It's not really feasible for employers to go and conduct an inspection, so, they usually rely on employees to fill out a checklist of how safe their house is. Do they have any hazardous things lying around? Do they have proper table and chairs to work on?"
So, if you do decide to go partially or fully remote, besides stating clear expectations for the employee like their work hours and who to report to, you need to figure out "how we can be mutually accountable to each other".
Read more: Will you make remote work a permanent policy?
It requires a mindset and culture shift
While remote working is something that predates the pandemic and is commonplace in other parts of the world, employers in Singapore have struggled with it in the past. The lawyer said that it may just boil down to culture and societal norms. Hence, local work culture is something that should be considered as well, because you may offer staff to go fully remote but they may be more interested in a flexi-work plan or to head back into the office.
"Without wanting to generalise, I think Singapore companies tend to prefer employees returning to work physically," she said. "For whatever reason, whether it is accountability or a preference for having a culture where people work together, collaborate and they're not in silos. The response to remote work can be quite varied across different companies and across different managers."
She shared that even within her firm there are partners who have completely dispensed with the need to come to the office because the team functions well while working from home. She, on the other hand, personally prefers to go into the office three or four times a week, though she hasn't imposed that on her team.
As for the notion that companies would rather do away with the high rental costs of office spaces, the lawyer shared personal insights from a pal in real estate. "If you look at real estate trends, most people assume that because of COVID and the rise in work-from-home, employers are starting to give up their office leases because there's no longer a need for it," she said.
"But I've got a friend in real estate who told me that the demand to invest in corporate real estate remains high. Investors have been choosing to put their money into corporate real estate because of the belief that in the long run, people will still want an office space. Business owners will still want a proper office location, maybe just for the credibility or the way you market your business. So I think in the long run, my sense is physical working might still prevail for most of our industries."

US pastor claims California wildfires caused by the state's pro-LGBT stance
Kevin Swanson has never been afraid to make offensive anti-LGBT comments
A US pastor claimed the wildfires in California were caused by the state's pro LGBT stance.
Kevin Swanson has never been shied away from making inflammatory and offensive anti-LGBT+ comments and now had claimed God is punishing the state because it was the first to pass the same-sex marriage law.
Speaking on his Generations radio show, the Colorado preacher said: "In 2005, California state legislators became the first in the nation to pass the same-sex marriage law.
"In 2008, the California Supreme Court then struck down Prop 22 in regard to marriage cases, and Prop 8 was also struck down later on that year, I believe.
"In 2017, the California state schools implemented the homosexual indoctrination programme…. And that was the kick-off for the biggest fires California has ever seen in its history, last year.
"And those fires continue in 2018. So, God is burning down California in 2017 and 2018 after about 25 years of leading the pack to legitimise the sin of homosexuality in that state."

The African Games, also known as the All-Africa Games or the Pan African Games, and popularly known as the "African Olympics", is a major continental multi-sport event for athletes from nations of Africa, officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee, and held every four years.
One of the most spectacular and successful expressions of African sport, AAG was conceived as early as in 1920 by Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the Modern Olympics. The colonial powers resented the idea fearing the unifying aspect of sports among African people. The games were finally launched in 1965 two years after the founding of the Organization of African Unity (OAU). The All Africa Games, therefore, have huge significance for the African continent not just as a platform for showcasing African sporting talent but in terms of their portrayal of African aspirations for freedom, unity and independence.
30 African nations participated in the first All Africa Games in Brazzaville in 1965, whereas 53 African nations participated in the latest games held in 2011. A total of 5000+ athletes contested for 249 gold medals in 2011.
20 individual and team sports were played in the 10th AAG. Out of a total of 249 gold medals, South Africa led the medals chart with 61 gold medals. Egypt secured the 2nd place with 32 gold medals. Over all, Egypt has won five editions, most by any country, of AAG, while South Africa has won three editions.
All-Africa games began as a measure to promote unity and solidarity among African nations and now have developed into cultural celebrations whose influence is being felt throughout Africa. These games have the potential to develop as a window into the brightness and riches of African culture and showcase its love for pleasure and healthy competition.
The 11th edition of the games took place in , in the Republic of the Congo in September 2015. This was also the 50th anniversary of the first edition of the games, which as was hosted in Brazzaville.
The next All-Africa Games
The 12th African Games will take place Aug 23 until Sep 3 in Rabat, Morocco. They were originally awarded to Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, but were taken off them due to economic problems and passed to Lusaka, Zambia, before finishing with Morocco.
The 13th African Games will be held in 2023.

A Navy SEAL's Guide to Cuba
I've always been fascinated by the small island country that's swimming distance from Key West. Tropical weather, warm water, beautiful women, cigars, Hemingway, and boat drinks — what's not to like? And, to be honest, I've wanted to go for a while. I've wanted to visit before the massive invasion of pasty white baby-boomer Midwest-American chubbers ruined the perfect picture of Havana I had built up in my head. Plus, as any warm-blooded male is wont to do, I had visions of rescuing some beautiful mixed Russian-Cuban girl with green eyes and a sexy accent. I would steal her away…
