Africa“The problem is that everyone here is a commander,” Jacob Kariuki said, his brow wrinkled in deep thought. “Ergo, they can break rules, intimidate people into submission, do virtually anything that pleases their fancy, and get away with it.” The telephone rang. It was music – Boys II Men:…Still I can’t let you go/It’s so natural/You belong to me/I belong to you… He stood rooted on the wet, cream tile flooring, thinking nobody could call him at 9am on Sunday morning except his mother back in the village – some three hundred kilometres away. She called only when necessary. It was therefore, unnecessary for him to ignore the call. That Monday was a historical day for Bright Omoregbe, the thirty-four year old History and Government teacher at Rachel’s Academy, one of the most exclusive private secondary schools in Festac, Lagos. It was a beautiful day: the air was refreshingly cool, the sky a deep azure. When the sun woke up it was enchantingly white. Its heat blended agreeably with the breeze. But the harmonious combination of the elements did nothing to get rid of the deep foreboding that the teacher had felt since he woke up. This is an extract of my novel yet to be published- "Agonies in Sunset". A sympathetic story of the afflictions and persecution of one of the lost tribes of Israel settled in Nigeria- The Ibos. US/CanadaShort film created July-August 2010 as a class project in Raleigh's DeVry University - Humanities and Film class. Creators/actors/writers: Nathan Ballentine, Allen Briggs, Jennifer Fuentes, Mitch Poole, Tracheta Riley, and Mary Williams. (Instructor - Dr. Bruce L. Cook)More Father always chose a single buggy and Mary sat beside him, while I occupied a hassock set close to the dashboard. It wasn’t a very comfortable seat but I was far from critical. Watching the road under the horse’s feet and seeing the dry places grow wet gave me an inordinate fear of water. Of course we had to ford streams. The first time I looked down and saw the wheel half-covered with water, I was terrified and from then on whenever we crossed the tiniest creek, Father covered me with the buggyrobe and I crouched in fear till we reached the opposite shore and the wheels no longer ground on the gravel of the stream. Father would have reassured his horse if it were frightened and taken pains to help him face the object of his fear, but such a procedure he never even considered with me. He protected me instead.More Drug Dealing... Johan Gate Street in Oslo is a well known in that Scandinavia nation: Norway. It is decorated with flowers and horse riding parades in spring to summer, while the winter flourishes the Royal city with the snowy wind. Just working on that beautiful heaving leading street in summer, I met an African-Arab who, with nice looking style, wore a jeans'n T-shirt style. "There is no man in public life I admire more than Ignace Jan Paderewski," Colonel House wrote to Charles Phillips. I have seen ghosts in electroweak manifolds. I have seen light ghosts in the sky. I have seen clouds that seemed alive. I have seen small ghosts in electroweak manifolds. I have seen black ghosts in electroweak manifolds. I believe I have seen immortals. David had been here before. Turning the corner of the first building, he didn’t hesitate at the rusted steel door which was positioned oddly in a ten foot alcove carved into the min building and the unexplainable brick wall at the end of the alley. Knowingly, he put his shoulder against the heavy door, and lost no momentum as he entered a stairway which he knew led to the third floor. He grabbed the stair railing, and swung himself under the stairway, into the dark deserted space under the stairs, where even the homeless don’t go. There, another steel door opened easily, and David was now in the alley between the two buildings. EuropeIf Africans stop butchering each other for dirt, plundering the continent’s wealth and then stashing the wealth in economies outside the continent, rejecting to buy local home-made clothes for some cheap synthetics from “abroad” (read “inferiority complex”) Taiwan or China, we’d long be manufacturing our own Sunny PlayStation, pumping resources into the R&D of African tropical diseases in super labs in the continent and lending development money to the rest of the world. After a rather pleasant lunch it was time for the beach. I would have preferred a couple of hours sleep in my bed, but that was not really an option. Instead we strolled along the muggy streets. It was not particularly sunny, but I had already passed sun cream before leaving the apartment. With my skin you could never be too careful. I burned easier than a vampire when exposed to the sun’s delightful rays. I had asked Amaya to do likewise before leaving the apartment and been informed that she always passed some miracle once a day sun cream after she taking her morning shower. It was so typical of her, such an organized little lady. Latin AmericaThis article exposes some points of reflexion about the right to abortion as part of a human’s rights question. Therefore, it is important a deep understanding about the ways that this question have been thought in Brazil, where there are restricted laws and a high maternal mortality rate decurrent of unsafe abortions. The discussion that is intended focuses on these consequences of unsafe abortion. Furthermore, is present in this discussion the idea of sanctification of women as mothers in Brazil, and how this social construction influences the debate about (un)safe abortion. AsiaThe Steamroller, Chapter 5 - BlackEagle Girls and The Quest To See, by Kenneth Mulholland (Australia) Posted 8/7/10
Managing the Boss is like managing one’s wife: one must give more than what one wants to get, but ironically, the wife afterwards thinks she has gotten less than she gave. “Then why the hell do I ever need to manage him?” you might be asking the author. Well, it is because he wants to be managed. Middle EastThe tone has components and they are the attitudes (How much one likes or dislikes... ?) of the source (of the message) toward the subject and towards the target (audiences) and as it concerns attitudes, some people might want to hide them in certain ways founding themselves forced to give relative statements but surely not useful ones. The real tone might deviate from the apparent meaning of words. Attitudes toward the audiences (part of a tone) are how this deviation happens. Why do we appreciate logic so much in our minds while it is not so appreciated by things around us? Scientific natural laws are not the logical response – as we know - of things around us; nothing in our science say that. The true knowledge is taken by experimenting with things around us. I think that we should expand our imagination to see that there is some governing (will) which makes a link between ethical values and behavior of matter. The true knowledge is taken directly by experiments about things around us. If we find a breakthrough, then one can sit at his office or even in his bathroom and be assured what will happen somewhere out of new phenomena born in his logic, but is this yet accepted and - more - important is it logically possible? Either we do not know comprehensively what part of knowledge logic is and what really composes it, or there are no such restricting paths defined by something called logic. |
