The Government has explained the measures that have been put in place to address the issue of corruption.
In a statement, the acting minister of information and national guidance, Rose Namayanja said that under instruction from Government, the Auditor General had investigated financial impropriety in government institutions and compiled a report.
"In addition, the Auditor General is undertaking another audit on pension payment under ministry of public service following the alleged fraud of sh63 billion," Namayanja said.
In a statement, she said that measures have been put in place to control donor disbursements within Bank of Uganda and the national treasury.
"All flows will first be remitted to the consolidated Fund Appropriation Account before the funds are transmitted to beneficiary accounts, instead of suspense accounts."
As part of the measures, Bank of Uganda and Ministry of Finance signed a memorandum of understanding to close all dormant project accounts in the central bank.
The finance ministry is to also install hardware to control use of passwords for sensitive roles, supervised by the Internal Audit unit.
Also, statements from Bank of Uganda are to be submitted directly to Accountant General to carry out monthly reconciliation of statements. All accounting officers are required to make reconciliations and submit reports on a monthly basis.
The ministry of public service has been directed to reconcile and clean up salary and pension payroll to remove all ghosts.
Also, Government is to ensure that the pension and salary payrolls are migrated to the Integrated Personnel and Payroll System (IPPS) by end of this year, to eliminate diversion of funds.
The interim minister also said that Government is regularly rotating staff who are directly involved in the management of Government resources such as Accountants, procurement Officers.
"Other administrative and legal means to punish the perpetrators and recover the funds are on course.
"This includes freezing of all the accounts referred to in the Auditor General's report. Government calls upon all players and partners in development to tighten this noble war of fighting corruption," Namayanja said.

My two-year-old daughter has a book called Cinderella and Other Stories, by Stephen Tucker and Nick Sharratt. Reading it to her yesterday, I noticed that Sharratt (the illustrator) dresses the Big Bad Wolf in a purple suit with yellow windowpane check, yellow bowtie and tan-and-cream spectator shoes. The implication, whether conscious or not on Sharratt's part, is that this is a figure of ill repute. Only the roguish dress in such an … [Read more...]

Fishy And Polo: A Picture Update

Here we have images of the polo coat that has been documented in detail over the past few months, but of which I never posted a final image, and of the 'fishy' suit I commissioned most recently from Graham Browne. This was my first suit with braces (so with a fish-tail back) as well as featuring a fish-mouth lapel. The fish-mouth lapel has a … [Read more...]

I didn't hold out much hope when I strode out from the Hilton Vienna into the clear, crisp sunshine. A break from lawyers, some nice … [Read more...]
Where The Brace Buttons Should Be
I recently received my first braced suit. That is, one designed to be worn with braces, featuring a high waist and fish-tail back. When I first wore the suit it seemed that the front two pairs of buttons were a little too far round to the side. They were more on my hip than under my stomach, with the consequence that the braces felt like they would fall off my shoulder constantly. But then I've never worn braces before, so I didn't know … [Read more...]

Carol Burnett on that time her famous Tarzan yell got her out of (and in) troubleAdd to Favorites | Hawaii Five-0
Iconic comedian Carol Burnett appeared on CBS' "The Talk" on Monday (Nov. 18) to reminisce about her days on "The Carol Burnett Show" and to preview her upcoming guest-starring role on "Hawaii Five-0" which airs this Friday (Nov. 22).
Burnett revealed her favorite characters she portrayed on her legendary show. "I loved Mrs. Wiggins. I loved doing Eunice, I could vent," Burnett says. "And all the movie takeoffs. I was raised in the 40s and 50s so it was a throwback to me."
One of Burnett's most well-know bits is her Tarzan yell, and according to the comedian, that yell once got her out of trouble ... only to put her in trouble once more. "One time I was in New York and I needed to buy a pair of stockings, and I was running late to rehearsal," Burnett says. "I walked into a very posh store, Bergdorf Goodmans. This was back when it first opened."
Burnett was asked by a sales clerk to sign autographs before it became time to pay. "I realized I grabbed the wrong wallet, so I asked if I could write a check for the stockings. And she asked me, 'Well, can I see some identification,'" Burnett says. According to Burnett, the sales clerk conferred with the manager and they both agreed that if Burnett did the Tarzan yell, that would be sufficient identification.
"So I did the yell, and then right behind the lady, the exit door burst open and there was security guard with a gun," Burnett says. "Now I only do the yell in controlled circumstances."
Burnett will be back on the small screen this Friday (Nov. 22) when she guest stars on an episode of "Hawaii Five-0." "The cast, the crew, and the writers, I just adored it," Burnett says. "My character's saucy, but she's got a bit of a secret. But we don't find out until later in the script."

My family could not live without Country Comfort Baby Cream. This natural product is the best for soothing diaper rash, dry skin, patches of eczema, etc. I keep Country Comfort Baby Cream in multiple locations (car, bathroom, bedroom), as it the best salve I have found (besides the one my friend Liisa makes at Bellabotanica). My son has extremely sensitive skin, and Country Comfort Baby Cream is the only solution. When he had a negative reaction to the Pampers they put on him after heart surgery, Country Comfort Baby Cream cleared it up within hours. The NICU nurses were amazed! Of course, Country Comfort Baby Cream is cruelty-free and is made of:

In 1971, audiences were delivered the message that the freewheelin' sixties were over, and so were the innocent fifties for that matter, when long-legged Clint Eastwood stepped onto the screen as "cop on the edge" Harry Callahan in the groundbreaking crime thriller, Dirty Harry. Other tough-as-nails cops and private eyes followed in Harry's cynical footsteps, including Shaft, Serpico, and a guy named Popeye Doyle. This new generation of cop film was a marked departure from past crime films, where guys like G-Man Jimmy Stewart would walk proudly through spotless backlots dispatching ne'r-do-wells with precision shots from six-shooters balanced on their wrist. They were a return to the hardboiled, world-weary detectives of the 1940s. Callahan and his compatriots were angry, disillusioned, and cynical.

Escape from The Bronx
"In the near future." More times than not, it's a euphemistic way for a science fiction film to say, "We were too broke to afford interesting sets." Setting a film in "the near future" is a great way to get around a variety of stumbling blocks, not the least of which is a low budget. The near future allows you, as I said, to pretty much make up all sorts of new technology, situations, and laws while not having to fork over any money to build futuristic sets. It allows you to mold modern society to your whims without having to recreate it as something new. The alternate to this solution is to have a guy from the future travel back in time to the 20th century to save us or kill some other time traveling villain or some such nonsense. Once again, unless you are James Cameron, this allows you to throw some scifi stuff the way of the audience while not having to think too much about the look of the film.
1990: Bronx Warriors
In recent years, pop culture fascination with the end of the world has resurfaced after years of dormancy during which we were all enjoying the good ol' years of Bill Clinton, the dotcom industry, and a relatively peaceful time as long as you ignore that whole Balkan thing. Yeah, we might have used a giant asteroid to destroy Paris just for kicks from time to time, but when it comes down to ending the world, we pretty much became disinterested during the 1990s. The end of the Cold War seems to have dashed our post-apocalyptic fantasies. Gone were the days of an Evil Empire and a Red Scare. Gone were the days when middle school youths would organize themselves out in the woods to build a bomb shelter that would eventually evolve to resemble a foot deep hole covered by a sheet of warped plywood.
Street Law
Hot on the heels of the spectacular High Crime, director Enzo Castellari and actor Franco Nero take another stab at the burgeoning poliziotteschi genre, this time eschewing the popular "cop on the edge/Dirty Harry" approach and instead turning to the template established in 1974 by Charles Bronson's Death Wish. The primary difference between the two is that Bronson's character was a man of peace pushed to violent extremes, constantly grappling with the morality of vigilantism even in the face of his family suffering a truly nightmarish crime. Franco Nero's Carlo Antonelli, by contrast, gets roughed up by some crooks and almost instantly launches a campaign of murderous violence against them without any real philosophical debate. It's like he was already a well-mustached powder keg of vigilante vengeance just waiting to be unleashed. Instead of confronting the moral ambiguity of vigilantism through the doubts of its protagonist, Street Law elects instead to address it on a slightly more meta level, one in which the hero's actions aren't questioned by the hero himself but instead by the fact that, at the bloody end of all things, he is just as frustrated and unfulfilled as he was at the beginning.
Shark Hunter
What is it, to be a man? This is the question, indeed, many of us ask ourselves. In this, our post-macho, post-feminist, post-metrosexual era, what then becomes the measure of a man? What is it that defines his life, gives him meaning, makes him a man? Indeed such a question is difficult to answer, at times perhaps even seemingly impossible. And so we enter an era of confusion, of aimlessness, until at last something emerges from the chaos to point the way, to illuminate us, to help us along on our journey and, at long last, make the answer as clear as the crystal blue waters of Cozumel. What is it, to be a man? Let Franco Nero tell you. No, no — let Franco Nero show you.
The first fifteen minutes of Enzo G. Castellari's Shark Hunter play as follows. We meet the titular shark hunter, Franco Nero, looking like he just stumbled out of the jungle and fell into a puddle of crazed hippie biker, while perched on a rock overlooking the ocean. Suddenly a shark catches his eye, causing him to leap up, run down the beach while accompanied by the sounds of Guido and Maurizio DeAngelis prog rock, and struggle to haul the thrashing beast to shore. He then retires to his open air beach bungalow to make love to his beautiful Mexican senorita, then goes to a bar where he beats the crap out of half a dozen thugs. Happy that Franco has whooped ass on the goon squad, a local takes him out for a bit of parasailing. I know, I know. You're thinking to yourself that while hauling in a fishing line hooked to a man-eating shark is tough, and making love on the beach to a sexy gal is tough, and beating up half a dozen hired bruisers is tough, there's not much that's tough about parasailing. That's what sunburned fat Americans do when they visit resorts, right? What's so tough about that? Well, nothing. But while Franco does admittedly get a kick out of the parasailing, what makes this tough parasailing is that, while in mid-air, he spies a shark in the water below, let's out a primal whoop of excitement, cuts himself loose from the parachute harness, plunges into the water, and immediately starts punching the shark in the face.
Although everything about the movie, from the title to Franco Nero's seemingly unquenchable thirst for punching sharks in the face, would lead you to believe that this is going to be another in the brief but highly enjoyable line of Italian Jaws rip-offs along the lines of director Castellari's own L'Ultimo Squalo, a film that so closely aped (or sharked) Jaws and Jaws 2 that an injunction was issued against it, spoiling big plans to unleash it in American movie theaters and, in fact, even going to far as to ensure that it would never see the light of day even on home video. However, after the insane opening and Franco Nero's lesson on how to be a real man, Shark Hunter settles down into being a rip-off not of Jaws, but of another American film, 1977's The Deep starring Nick Nolte and Jaqueline "Miss Goodthighs" Bisset as scuba divers who stumble across a fortune in sunken drugs. That film was remade in 2005 as Into the Blue, starring Paul Walker and Jessica Alba. That movie was completely idiotic, but I enjoyed it if for no other reason than it had cool scuba scenes and lots of shots of Paul Walker and Jessica Alba being scantily clad. Plus, it's not like doing a dumb remake of a movie that was pretty dumb to begin with was any great crime against cinematic art. Of course, I also like The Deep, and it used to scare the crap out of me as a kid.
You see, I come from a long line of scuba divers, and by "long line" I mean my dad and, later, my sister. But I grew up around diving and diving equipment, and as a kid I used to get into my old man's trunk full of equipment and get gussies up in the way-too-large for me wetsuit and flippers, mask, and dive knife, which I referred to more dramatically as the shark knife. I'd then stomp around the basement, playing Thunderball and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and trying to throw the knife into the bare 2x4s of the unfinished walls. When I got to watch The Deep on our brand new Betamax video machine, it enthralled and terrified me. I loved all the scuba stuff, and even at a young age I know there was something special about Jaqueline Bisset in a bikini. But the one thing anyone remembers about that movie is the moray eels. My dad used to tell me outrageous tales about moray eels, and how the way their teeth curved in meant that once they bit you, it was impossible to remove them. You just had to pull out your knife and amputate your arm. The Deep certainly backed those stories up, and for years, the sight of sharks and barracuda did little to phase me, but I was always wary of eels. Even after I learned that moray eels are basically docile so long as you don't go shoving your arm into their hidey holes, I still get antsy when I turn around underwater and see one of them floating there, staring at me inquisitively with that horrible, evil grin they all have.
Shark Hunter, however, is better than either The Deep or Into the Blue, and Franco Nero looks less like Nick Nolte in The Deep and more like Nick Nolte in his more recent mug shot. But the gist of Shark Hunter is that Nero's character, Mike di Donato, gets pressured by a local gangster into helping salvage a downed plane full of loot. Franco and his parasailing buddy try to figure out a way to get the gangsters off their back and outsmart them. Despite the expectation generated from a title like Shark Hunter, there isn't much shark action in this film other than the beginning and the very end. Most of the action revolves around Franco Nero in his ratty shirt and bell-bottom dungarees getting into fights on the beach, only to have his beloved Juanita (Patricia Rivera) threatened by the gangsters. And there's a lot of scuba diving, sometimes with sharks present, which is a touchy subject for a lot of people.
Scuba scenes usually get a bum rap in movies for being somewhat slow moving and boring. They do happen underwater, after all. I actually think a lot of scuba diving scenes are kind of keen, owing to my enjoyment of scuba diving, and depending on how they are filmed. Thunderball, for example, has pretty thrilling scuba scenes. All those Jacques Cousteau documentaries have cool scuba scenes. The Incredible Petrified World does not succeed as well with its many scuba scenes of guys sort of doing nothing for like ten minutes at a time. Anyway, point is that scuba scenes don't have to boring, even if they frequently are. Shark Hunter has pretty good scuba scenes, though one wonders why Nero spends so much time diving in his blue jeans when he later reveals he owns perfectly good shorts and a wetsuit. I don't know if you've ever tried to swim in blue jeans, but it's not pleasant. The scuba scenes are also aided by the fact that Castellari was fond of slow motion action scenes anyway, so you hardly even notice the diving is slow. At least he didn't film them in slow motion.
Castellari and Nero worked together several times before most notably on the superb 1971 poliziotteschi thriller High Crime. Among the many, many directors who made a living in the murky waters of Italian exploitation films, Castellari was one of the best when he was on his game. Like Umberto Lenzi and Antonio Margheriti, Castellari managed to direct some really great action films. He also managed to direct some really awful ones. Castellari, however, directed fewer truly awful films than did Lenzi and Margheriti, possibly because Castellari managed to avoid having to make crappy cannibal movies. Where as other directors skipped from one genre to the next based on whatever trend was at the forefront of exploitation cinema that week, Castellari stayed pretty well grounded in action films. He avoided horror almost entirely. Even when he ventured into the realm of other genres — most notably a few post-apocalypse Road Warrior rip-offs in the 1980s — he treated them more or less like action films. The one time he worked almost completely outside the realm of what he was familiar with was 1989's Sinbad of the Seven Seas, and we can see how that worked out for him. By the 1980s, there was no doubt Castellari knew his stuff, even if he wasn't exactly what you might call a visionary artist. He did have his style though, and he seems interested in Shark Hunter, which he keeps moving along nicely and crammed full of action both above and below the ocean surface.
If there's anything to criticize in Castellari's direction, it's the choice to use footage of real sharks being caught and killed. This only happens once or twice, and I suppose scenes of shark fishing are more defensible than other scenes of real animal cruelty that pop up in Italian exploitation films, but it's something to warn people about. I understand why they used real footage, though I don't necessarily agree with the decision. But then, I used togo fishing, and lord knows we used to take pictures of ourselves with our fish, so I guess that's why I can't see to getting too worked up about the scenes of a hooked shark in this movie, as opposed to the far more frequent and far more abusive animal killing that goes on in those cannibal films.
Franco Nero is in good form here, looking completely deranged and badly in need of a shower. You'd think a dude who constantly went swimming and shark punching in the clear waters of Cozumel, Mexico, wouldn't have so much soot and crap smeared all over his face, but then you'd also expect that a guy with a girlfriend that pretty would have at least two pairs of clothes. But the only thing he has is his outfit, and then the same outfit with a hat and sunglasses. Nero throws himself headlong into the role though, lending it gravity and a great intensity, and the look is pretty spectacular. Nero made a career out of playing bad-asses, and while he's not as bad-ass here as he was in some of his old cop films, he still punches sharks in the face and jumps out of parachutes to wrestle them. Eventually, the movie gets around to explaining why sharks piss him off so much, but it's pretty uneventful and predictable. He goes on to have family members killed in a traffic accident, but he doesn't run around Mexico punching cars and trying to drag them back to his bungalow. And given how much the guy hates sharks, and how he seems to spend all day sitting around just waiting for a change to sock one in the jaw, you have to wonder they come to his aid all Aquaman-style during the underwater finale. I guess they respect his predatory, killer instinct and knotty tangle of blond locks.
Helping the movie be that much cooler is the music by Italian exploitation film staples Guido and Maurizio DeAngelis. Blending rock, prog, and film orchestration, G&M, who also worked under collective name Oliver Onions for some reason, turn in a great score that perfectly matches the action and fires up the blood. Pairing all that with nice location work in Cozumel — my dad's favorite dive spot, incidentally — makes for an all-around thrilling action film that is far different than the Jaws inspired title would otherwise lead you to believe.
Sinbad of the Seven Seas
I can anticipate a lot of things that would potentially show up as the first shot in a Sinbad the Sailor movie (as opposed to Sinbad the Comedian movie, though I can also imagine the first shot in that movie as well, and it's Sinbad making an exaggerated screaming face and running away in fast motion from a poopy baby diaper), but one thing I never expected was a still shot of Edgar Allen Poe. It's that same one everyone uses when they need a photo of Edgar Allen Poe. Maybe that's the only one. I don't know. I also didn't know why Poe would be associated with the opening of a Sinbad the Sailor movie, though I could understand it in a Sinbad the Comedian movie, what with the macabre and all.

Over the course of almost 25 years in journalism, I have had occasion to ask literally tens of thousands of questions to the people in the chair opposite.
Most of the feedback I get is about the answers they give, not the questions I ask.
Friday's interview with Liberal leadership hopeful Martha Hall Findlay was different. Two viewers wondered why I asked the candidate a question that tangentially referred to her pesonal life, something I rarely do.
Here were the inquiries:
Cathy28: Tell us what made you ask her about her being single Steve?
SusieQ: I almost fell off my chair when you questioned MHF on her being single and holding the leadership title! If memory serves me, Trudeau was initially single as P.M. It was a cause celebre. He was considered an international "playboy" and ooolala....would you have brought up the question with a man?
Fair questions. Gives me a chance to tell everyone how we prepare for interviews, and how we determine what to ask or what not to ask.
Viewers that have been with us from the beginning of the season will know that we made a decision to invite and scrutinize the records of all the front-running candidates for the Liberal leadership. To that end, Michael Ignatieff, Bob Rae, Gerard Kennedy, and Stephane Dion have all appeared, submitted to one-on-one interviews for 15 to 20 minutes, then joined a group of analysts to discuss another campaign issue for the remainder of the hour.
At one daily editorial meeting, we decided that treatment seemed appropriate for those that had a chance to win. But for those who seemed to have no chance at all, we thought we would hold off and see what developed. If they became particularly newsworthy, we could extend an invitation in the future.
For a bunch of reasons, that moment seemed to happen, in our view, for Martha Hall Findlay this past week.
1. Campaign coverage suggested MHF's influence on the race was far more significant than her very modest delegate count. She was consistently being described in the media as the most important second ballot "get" along with Ken Dryden. So trying to get some insight into where she might go on that second ballot seemed like a good idea.
2. Her background as a good, loyal soldier to the Liberal party cause, only to be very badly treated by the party also seemed like an angle that was worth pursuing.
3. She was the only woman left in the race and as a result, her visiting our studio would give us a chance to talk about the appalling state of female participation in the political process in our country.
All in all, we felt those three reasons alone merited having MHF on the program.
Having decided to extend the invitation, here's how things proceeded after that. Producer Erica Balch and I read as much research as we could get our hands on about MHF's candidacy and platform. We met Friday morning, the day of the interview, and began discussing the three general areas of inquiry we wanted to pursue. We agreed those areas should be:
1. MHF's candidacy (why she ran, why she's still in despite the fact that others who did better than her have already dropped out, where she's going on the second ballot, plus her position on the Quebec question that has so dominated the campaign.
2. MHF's background (the 2004 loss to Belinda Stronach, the lack of effort by the party to find a riding for her in 2006, etc.)
3. And finally, issues around women in politics, and why it always seems so difficult for women to bust through the glass ceiling.
Satisfied with those three general areas, Erica and I began writing our questions. As a general approach, we agreed that putting MHF though the same aggressive "accountability interview" as we did with Ignatieff, Rae, Kennedy, and Dion didn't make much sense. She was not going to win the convention and to put her through those kinds of paces seemed unnecessary.
However, we did want to somewhat more aggressively pursue all the reasons behind why MHF has only been able to capture less than 1% of the Liberal delegate support so far.
The most interesting debate Erica and I had came in the third section of the interview. We began listing reasons why (besides being female) MHF's candidacy was getting lots of respect but little delegate support.
We figured we should ask about experience. Ignatieff had first worked for the Liberal party in the 1960's. Rae, of course, had a ton of political experience as a federal MP then premier of Ontario. Kennedy had been an MPP for a decade. Dion a federal cabinet minister for two different prime ministers. MHF had only been active in Liberal politics for three years and had never been elected. Maybe that was a reason why Liberal delegates weren't supporting her? We thought we'd ask.
Of course, we had to ask about whether her being female was another reason why people weren't supporting her in larger numbers. Former deputy prime minster Sheila Copps eloquently put the case forward a couple of weeks ago on The Agenda that there's a nasty double standard in politics. Qualities that are prized in a man are often criticized in a woman. That seemed worth asking about.
And finally, the issue that has prompted a couple of inquiries --- the issue of her private life.
I have made it a point over the years to respect the privacy of the people I interview. I will ask about someone's personal life where relevant but subscribe to the school of thought that public figures are entitled to a private life like anyone else, provided it doesn't adversely affect their public duties.
I put forward the notion in my meeting with Erica that as a general rule, politicians like to present themselves as "good family people," thus my reference in the MHF interview to the ubiquitous Christmas cards that love to show off the happy nuclear family.
In my conversations with delegates of all parties over the years, the notion of being a "good family person" matters. People just seem to like the image of a typical nuclear family. Of course, it's not a prerequisite to elective office, as SusieQ rightly pointed out. Pierre Trudeau and Kim Campbell both became prime minister without spouses.
But the vast vast majority of political leaders are married. And during the last election campaign, more than a few people pointed out that Stephen Harper could understand the problems of the average Canadian family because, after all, he was just a regular family guy with a wife, two kids, and a pet.
Erica and I talked at length about how to approach this issue with MHF in a way that wouldn't invade her privacy, but at the same time, would allow her to address the question of whether her no longer being married ultimately affected whether delegates would support her.
We agreed to ask the question respectfully, gently, and not in a prying way.
After we finished making our list of questions, we emailed them over to Dan Dunsky, the executive producer, whose job is to raise any red flags he sees. He offered one very useful piece of advice. He suggested I not say the Liberal party treated MHF like "crap" as I was going to say, but rather "disrespectfully," a word whose tone seemed a little more appropriate for our program. I agreed and asked the question that way.
Otherwise, the green light was given.
To her great credit, MHF answered the question in question forthrightly, seriously doubting that the issue had any effect on her delegate support. And that was that.
Would we have asked such a question of a male leadership contender? Of course, I think we would have. It so happens that every other candidate in the race is married with the exception of Scott Bryson. Were we to interview him on the program, it's inconceivable to me that the question of whether his sexual orientation might affect delegate support wouldn't come up. It certainly would.
So there it is.
An overly long answer, but for those still with me, I hope this shows that we really do put a lot of thought into what we ask and how we ask it. We can't claim to always be right or that we ask the questions as expertly as we should. But we do prepare quite thoroughly, with as much quality-control as a daily show will allow.
Comments welcomed...

opinionBy Kristinne Sanz
London — Violence against women in conflict areas in Africa has reached epidemic proportions. Yet as conflict continues to unfold, from the Ivory Coast to the ever-turbulent Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), it is still mostly a silent disaster.
It remains out of donors' reach and almost invisible in the media, increasing during and after disasters as already fragile structures of law and order break down.
But does this mean African women are always helpless, voiceless victims in places of conflict?
Some research seems to make that point. The Global Fund for women reports that more than one million women were raped, mutilated and abused during and after the civil wars in Sierra Leone, the DRC and Rwanda.
It is important to understand that women, men, boys and girls experience and cope with violent conflict and disasters in different ways. Yet evidence proves that women and girls are disproportionately affected because of their low socio-economic and political status.
In their everyday lives, women and girls are often exposed to abuse when fetching water or gathering firewood. Women are restricted access to credit and are rarely allowed to inherit or own land. In disasters, women refugees are often forced to trade sex for survival, and relief policies typically favour male refugees.
Despite the circumstances women find themselves in, evidence from the ground has started to dismantle the "women as victims" myth. Time and again, women continue to show resilience in the face of disasters. They help build shelters and soup kitchens, organise self-help groups, and mobilise community members to take action.
Post-conflict, they play crucial roles in formal and informal peacekeeping initiatives.
In 2003, with the support of the Women in Peacebuilding Network (WIPNET), Liberian women mobilised and demanded an "unconditional ceasefire, a negotiated settlement and international community presence in Liberia". That same year while Liberian women were markedly absent from formal peace negotiations in Ghana, a group of women held a parallel meeting resulting in the Golden Tulip Declaration, which articulated women's demands for peace.
The award-winning documentary, Pray the Devil Back to Hell, follows the grassroots movement of women in Liberia who directly flout the "women as victims" myth. Despite the atrocities they experienced during the war and regardless of their exclusion from the peace talk table, women activists were determined to take action for a safer Liberia.
Women physically barricaded the stalled peace talks using their bodies as human shields and demanded that an agreement be reached. The extent of their exclusion from the peace talks is evident when these women - older, respectable, devout women - threatened to remove their clothes when faced with eviction from the male-dominated space. Pray the Devil Back to Hell documents this remarkable moment, proving the tenacity of Liberian women who managed to affect the outcome of the talks without being at the table.
Many similar stories of women's resilience exist and there is increasingly a need to document these accounts in support of evidence-based research that could inform policies, programmes and, more broadly, the development agenda.
There is also a need to build networks and coalitions to amplify the advocacy on gender justice and women's rights in post-conflict and disaster situations. Writing on the status of women in Africa, Pumla Dineo Gqola, a feminist writer and academic, argues for a "coalition of women across the continent to further the cross-pollination of strategies, experience and research."
Gqola highlights the growing importance of ICTs, while also mindful of the gendered access to, and control over, this resource as well as its effects.
One initiative, the Gender and Disaster Network (GDN), draws on the interconnectivity provided by the internet to generate, share and transfer knowledge on gender and disaster risk reduction by documenting, analysing and transmitting the experiences of women and men; girls and boys, before, during, and after disasters.
GDN highlights the gender-differentiated impacts of disasters, climate risks and conflicts on social groups whose vulnerabilities are products of biased socio-political and economic structures and institutions.
There are those hoping to see a regional hub in Africa which can facilitate the exchange of experiences and lessons learned between various groups, from grassroots women's groups to international scholars. It will also hopefully give voice to Africa's vulnerable and marginalised groups.
It might just be time we stop only seeing women as victims and instead harness their many skills, finally making sure they are an integral part of the conversation. They've proven time and again they deserve a place at the table.

This morning, two analysts took the second route on Motorola (MOT):
Brian Modoff, an analyst at Deutsche Bank, this morning lifted his price target for Motorola to $30 from $26. "Our channel checks indicate Motorola continues to gain share globally," he wrote this morning. "WIth multiple products coming to market over the next few months, our contacts indicate that Motorola could see share gains of +1% [more than 1%, I think he means] a quarter for some time….We are currently estimating MOT will ship 54 million units this quarter, but now believe the company is in line to beat this figure."
Mark Sue, an analyst at RBC Capital, raised his price target today to $28, from $26, citing "increased demand visibility for the company's reinvigorated handset portfolio." Sue writes that his 2007 EPS estimate of $1.43 a share "may prove conservative….Near-term, Motorola may be tracking towards the high-end of the guidance range and may handily beat our mobile devices unit estimate of 53 million…Our rating is Outperform."
Motorola shares today have gained 57 cents to $25.42.

"Local Landscapes," a show opening at the Grenning Gallery in Sag Harbor on Saturday, August 30, captures the serene beauty of a summer spent on the eastern end of Long Island. In fact the paintings will represent the idylls of this specific summer. "Some of the paintings are so new they'll be hung wet!" Shea Keating, the Grenning Gallery's manager enthuses. Several international artists, most of who are connected with Daniel Graves' classical school, The Florence Academy of Art, have spent their summer painting the area's countless beaches, marinas, and picturesque pathways. Keating describes one of the yet to be completed works as " a 48 by 72 inch painting of a local beach by painter Ben Fenske. The canvas is so large that he had to strap it onto the top of his car and drive it to what he likes to refer to as his "secret beach" in North Haven. The painting is so long that he can't even place it on an easel. The canvas was constantly blown down by the wind."
Another work by an artist named Ramiro is a small, black-framed painting of Long Beach. Seeing this familiar local beach so well executed on canvas brings out the romanticism of a vista most residents have long taken for granted as they fly by the road on their way to town. The sea is a choppy, deep Prussian blue, while the azure of the sky is dabbed with the purplish pink suggestion of a budding sunset. It is a snatched moment of summer familiar to anyone who walks along Long Beach in late afternoon.
Laura Grenning explains how this end of summer Grenning Gallery tradition began.
"Several of the artists we represent are anchored to this community through portrait commissions," she said. "Often they are hosted by the family they're painting, so they stay out here for weeks or months at a time. Life-long friendships are built, and of course it makes for a much better portrait in the end. However, landscapes are a great way for artists to get out of their studios and paint. The outdoors is what most people come out here for anyway. And it was a good way for me to test out new artists for the gallery as well."
She also adds that several artists are put up by volunteers in the community making it an informal and creative version of a foreign exchange program. The host families often get a painting in exchange for free room and board. So down come all the studied interiors, and dramatic full-length portraits that usually line Grenning Gallery's walls, and up go large and small paintings of every imaginable shade of blue. Each painting reminding one of how sunny this soon-to-pass summer was, and how delightful it would be to capture its essence by hanging it on one's wall.
Wandering into the gallery, housed within the historic Sag Harbor Cinema, one feels pleasantly transported back in time. The gallery resembles a nineteenth century Parisian atelier. The narrow gallery entrance widens into a larger reception area, which leads one up a wooden staircase into a skylit, turpentine-scented studio space. Although it is easy to mistake the displayed landscapes hanging there for paintings from an earlier era, little details in the work remind one that the artwork is indeed contemporary.
As a matter of fact, Grenning is quick to point out that the majority of her gallery's artists are in their 20s and early 30s, and that it is part of her mission to support living artists. Grenning feels that the style of poetic realism she chooses to exhibit is "the movement of our generation – marked by a high level of craft, humility in the face of nature, a desire to represent the harmony and balance found in nature, and a possession of the discipline and skill necessary to present it to the public. That's really what this show is all about." Grenning feels this is a twenty-first century movement and a positive reaction to the abstract, the pop art, and the conceptual common in twentieth century art.
Laura Grenning started her gallery ten years ago after a dramatic life-change, which led to a chance encounter with the painter Nelson White on, appropriately enough, a local beach. Grenning had worked as a stock market analyst in Hong Kong, but had always dreamed of returning to the United States and buying a house on Shelter Island. Once she had the house, she decided to resume the study of art, an interest she had put on hold while earning a living in another capacity. However, she had trouble locating schools that taught the realistic, classical style she sought to emulate. It was her encounter with White that brought her into contact with The Florence Academy of Art, and eventually led her to open a gallery to display and sell the work of artists who worked in the academy's style. At the time she felt, "this tradition was dying. It was a visual language that seemed to be unavailable, and I wanted artists to portray my contemporary life in this way." What Grenning has accomplished with her gallery space is to guarantee that realistic, well-crafted landscapes of her local community will be made and displayed for new generations to appreciate.

Completing a second grand slamGuide Roy Lerg and I are moving slowly up a dry wash, when suddenly he says, "Rams! Up to the left! Get ready to shoot!"
By: Bernie Kuntz, The Jamestown Sun
(Last of two parts)
Guide Roy Lerg and I are moving slowly up a dry wash, when suddenly he says, "Rams! Up to the left! Get ready to shoot!"
There are five rams standing 300 yards up the lava mountain and reading the labels on our underwear. I rest my .270 on Roy's pack and wait. The largest ram is behind another ram so I can't shoot. With all my spinal/joint problems my legs hurt, the right one goes numb … and we wait some more. After a couple minutes the rams move, and I have a shot at 300 yards. I fire and miss!
"You shot high!"
The rams scatter, I see the largest one stop so shoot again. Another miss! Roy calls the shot left by a couple inches. I am devastated! In 10 previous sheep hunts, I have missed a couple shots, but clobbered the ram with the second shot. I think my shooting ability has gone the way of my legs — downward. The rams climb the mountain unscathed.
We return to the pickup, and Roy follows a two-track road to a hill about three-quarters of a mile from the mountain. The rams have moved to the very top of the mountain and have lain down. Roy sets up a big Austrian-made Swarvoski spotting scope, rigs a camera to it and takes some pictures!
We sit there all morning and into early afternoon. "The only thing that will make you feel better is to kill that ram," Roy says.
Yes, indeed. I still cannot believe it. I have owned this rifle for 40 years, killed seven rams with it and a number of deer, shot it on the range and it was spot-on. I suspect "operator error."
Five hours later we see the rams come off the top of the mountain and feed downward on the steep slope. Roy starts the pickup, drives to the wash separating us from the mountain, and we depart on foot.
Earlier, we discussed whether with all my back and joint problems, I could make it up a certain hill that is part of the shoulder of this mountain. I said that I could. We begin climbing, and it feels like someone is poking me in the right knee and hip with a 10-penny nail. My lower back is tied in knots, but I have my walking staff and I have determination.
We proceed slowly upward, me gasping for breath — an out-of-shape "has-been" sheep hunter. But I will do this … I must do this … I think of Marine boot camp and of humping an 85-pound pack in the jungles of Vietnam with Marine Recon … I think of my last bighorn hunt in Wyoming, out of water on the shoulder of Franc's Peak and almost delirious from thirst … I will do this. Half an hour later I look down and see that we are far above the hill I said I could climb!
A dozen years ago it would have been an easy stalk but today it is all I can endure. We are almost halfway up the mountain when Roy asks, "Do you have shooting sticks?" I shake my head, no. "Can you crawl?" Again, negative. "Can you shoot kneeling?" I point to a lava outcrop about three-feet high, throw the pack on it, drop my unlined leather gloves onto the sharp lava stones, and kneel on them. I am ready to shoot.
Three rams are watching us from 200 yards or more above, but none of them looks like the oldest ram.
"You tell me which one," I say.
"Listen!" Roy whispers. And then I see the last two rams pop out of a draw. I am blocking Roy's vision so I see them first. "I think that's him," I say.
Boom! The ram drops at 125 yards, hit through the shoulders by the 130-grain Nosler Partition. It seems to take a long time for me to hobble over to the ram, and I am ecstatic to see he is very old — 10 years to be exact. Then it is Roy's turn to be excited when he learns that this completes my second Grand Slam of North American wild sheep — the four species — Rocky Mountain bighorn, desert bighorn, Dall and Stone. I thought I had told him but maybe I forgot.
After pictures, I offer to help field dress the ram, but Roy says, "The hunt is over. We don't want any accidents. I want you to pick your way off this mountain and back to the pickup before it gets dark — just follow one of the fingers back to the bottom."
I shoulder the old .270 Sako and using the walking staff for stability, follow a ridge that leads toward the bottom. I think about 10 previous sheep hunts over a 36-year period — my first Grand Slam on wild sheep at age 31, and now my second Slam at age 63. According to the Grand Slam Club, I am the 278th person to complete the Grand Slam — the taking of all four major species of North American wild sheep. About 1,740 hunters have done it thus far, but fewer than 100 have taken more than one Grand Slam. Mostly are rich guys, unlike myself.
I ease across a slide and into a wash and eventually I reach the bottom and see Roy's pickup 125 yards away. I drink a bottle of water, wash down a pain pill with the lone beer I asked Laurie to include in the cooler. (I should have requested six!)
It is almost dark at 5 p.m. when I see Roy drop into the dry wash, carrying a couple white kitchen bags containing the meat. I exit the pickup and welcome him back.
"I had to leave the cape and horns up there, but can get them tomorrow?" he says.
"Oh, bull!"
We both laugh, a sheep hunt with a fine ending, and both of us basking in the glow of it.

Preparing employees for advancement
The City of Henderson graduated the first of what it hopes will be a new era of city employee career development success stories through formal, classroom-style training.
Human Resources Director Cathy Brown presented Edna Vaught to the Henderson City Council last week. Vaught, an employee with public services, trained through six modules to gain a city supervisor certification of readiness to fill a leadership role.
"What we are trying to do is improve opportunities for city employees to pursue advancement," Brown said. "This is a brand new internal program set up for city employees."
Council members applauded the program, and Vaught for her completion of it. Henderson Mayor Pete O'Geary said it takes the city's need for training up a level.
"This is a wonderful program," O'Geary said. "I know this will be good for our city, and it will be a help for our employees."
Brown said the training program is in its infancy. She did all of the teaching for Vaught, covering areas such as workplace conflict resolution, effective office communications and performance management.
Brown is lining up other city directors and managers to add more depth and expertise to the program. The commitment on their part involves participating in some of at least nine sessions that last between two and three hours.
Eventually, if more funding becomes available, the program could include instructors brought in from outside the employ of the city, Brown said.
Examples of available city experts include Assistant City Manager Frank Frazier and Finance Director Kathy Brafford for budgeting areas, Christy Lipscomb with Kerr Lake Regional Water and Corey Williams, the city's code enforcement director, for other administrative subjects.
Assistant Henderson Fire Chief Steve Cordel has taught CPR and first-aid courses for city employees in the past, and his training would be applicable as part of the city modular program as well, according to Brown.
The certification applies to consideration for openings that become available with the city, and is not an accredited school program, Brown said.
"This puts the individual in position to be considered for open positions with the city," Brown said. "The certification goes into the employee's file."
Brown said that specific training program dates for the 2013 year are under development as she seeks to plug in at least three additional instructors.
City employees interested in signing up for a program in career development or supervisor certification first need approval from their department supervisor, Brown said, because the training takes place as part of the employee's paid workday.
A class calendar with registration cut-off dates and further information to city leaders and employees is pending, Brown added. The formal classroom sessions will take place about once a month from early spring through October.
"I have heard a number of people ask about it," she said. "We do want to make sure this is available for every employee who wants to participate."

Use a different file manager. Just get any root file manager from the play store (I recommend root explorer) and when opened, it will ask for permissions to write to the system. You may have to go into the settings and toggle root exploring.

Johannesburg — The strike by thousands of metalworkers across the country is a political fight for a living wage, Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi said on Tuesday.
"We are told that we are being irresponsible for embarking on a strike. We are told this is not about workers, but about Numsa's decisions taken at its last congress," Vavi told thousands of workers gathered outside the offices of the metals bargaining council in central Johannesburg.
Vavi and National Union of Metalworkers of SA president Andrew Chirwa earlier handed a memorandum of demands to officials from the Metal and Engineering Industries Bargaining Council, and Steel and Engineering Industries Federation of SA (Seifsa) in downtown Johannesburg.
"A demand for a living wage is political, because it is politics that allowed such conditions 20 years into a democracy."
He said workers were not to blame for the economy's poor health.
The strike by about 220,000 Numsa workers for a double digit wage increase follows a five-month strike by platinum miners, which ended last week. Concerns have been expressed that another strike could push the country into recession.
Seifsa CEO Kaizer Nyatsumba said earlier this month the industry could ill afford a strike.
"We are concerned that our economy has not performed well in recent years, with the metals and engineering industry being among the sectors most threatened by cheap imports."
Vavi said on Tuesday: "Those who should be blamed are the ones who manage the economy, and manage it towards only one direction, which is down.
"We will not pay for the mistake of the capitalist system."
Workers had been urging those in power to implement the Freedom Charter, he said.
"The Freedom Charter says the wealth of the country shall be shared by all... we are here to demand our share from the country's economy."
Vavi said the country had no good story to tell, as the African National Congress had claimed.
President Jacob Zuma failed to tell South Africans in his state-of-the-nation address how many jobs were lost in the past five months, he said.
"The president said more than 9000 jobs were created... do you see those jobs? The president failed to tell the country how many jobs were lost.
"We are sitting with a 36 percent unemployment rate."
He said public money went to upgrading Zuma's private homestead in Nkandla, KwaZulu-Natal, and that over R300 million was spent in refurbishing ministers' accommodation.
The day's program was delayed due to a poor sound system. Strikers had to wait from 11am for a better sound system. Chirwa apologised for the delay.

If I can do this, then you can too! That will be our "Motto" for this Thread.
I'm not an expert mechanic with a fancy shop full of specialized tools. Don't even have one of those big hydraulic bike lifts that puts the motor at chest height...for a good looksee. Usually, I just sit on my butt on the garage floor, getting a crick in my neck, and grease in my eye, as I probe around in places I probably shouldn't.
The difference, I reckon, is that I'm not afraid of messing something up. I kind of like messing things up, then seeing if I can un-mess the mess I've made. Which usually just leaves in....well....a big mess.
But, if I can, then you can too. Let's keep our focus here and continue...
On deck, is this big hunk of aluminum hazardous waste:
Aaaaaagh.....the dreaded radiator removal ! ! ! I hear lots of people skeeeered to remove this thing. Guess what? It ain't no big deal. In fact, its real easy. Just three bolts and two hose connections (drain the fluid) and voila, its off the bike easy as pie! Really.
If you have a radiator guard, like my "Force" brand, then one of these long socket extension will make this task soooooo much easier.
To do this:
Without the extension, its nearly impossible to reach that frame bolt/nut. Ask me how I know....
So, that's a great TRICK. And, here's another one. Are you tired of making a royal mess when you pull the hose on the water pump to drain your radiator? Try this TRICK:
It helps A LOT. Just hang a cloth rag beneath where your hose will drain (when you pull it loose), whatever fluid splashes out will soak into the rag and drain into your pan. It acts like a conduit for the fluid to follow. This is helpful, because fluid will continue to exit the water pump discharge on the motor as it drains from all the engine ports (slowly). Practice makes perfect....so you'll get better at it with each attempt.
While we're at it, here's another little TRICK related to the Force Radiator Guard. My radiator wiggles back and forth within the mounts, rubbing and rattling against the guard itself. So, I just cinched it down tighter to the outside edge with this super duper, high-tech, zip-ty like this:
Probably seems elementary.....so just rank it in that "why didn't I think of that" category. Don't ask me how long I rode around until I fixed this issue.
Seems I'm on a roll, so here's another top secret HF TRICK:
Put a towel on the floor beneath your bike. Its wonderful...
Keeps those nuts & bolts from flying across the garage floor....disappearing into the abyss....when you drop them. When they hit the towel, its with a thud, not a ping, and the little guys are always just sitting there smiling up at me.
p.s.....notice that circular container with the dividers. I bought a handful of those thingys (real cheap) at Home Depot. Terrific for keeping bolts & nuts sorted during a project like this. I put all the bolts from one general area in the same section.....like everything radiator related goes in one bin, while everything cylinder/head related would go in another. You get the idea. Old farts like me need all the memory aids we can muster.....as you'll soon see.
p.s.squared......please notice there are two separate distribution lines coming from this radiator.
This could be surprising & confusing, if you weren't expecting it. I'll show you where the "little guy" goes and what its for....tomorrow.

KISUMU Infrastructure executive Vincent K'Odera has expressed concern that his life is in danger following his push for demolition of illegal structures in the county.
K'Odera alleged that a group dubbed 'American Marines' have threatened to stop the ongoing demolition of the structures. "The group claim that I was destroying their property and must deal with me firmly," he said. He was speaking to the Star on the phone yesterday. K'Odera said the group told his close allies to ask him to stop destroying their property.
