It’s no secret that UBC prides itself on its status as a “global university.” Deemed by Times Higher Education as “North America’s most international university” in 2017, UBC pulls its 21,600 new undergraduate admits from over 150 countries around the world.
In order to maintain this status, last year the university announced its “International 2020,” a plan to revamp its international strategy which hasn’t seen an update since its last version in 2011.
According to the university, this internationalization aims to do three things: “foster global inclusivity among all its constituents; transform how we develop knowledge, how we teach and how we learn at the intersections of local, national and international imperatives; and develop students, faculty and staff the critical and intercultural skills and values that empower them to be global citizens and leaders.”
An article from the The Huffington Post also suggests that studying in a global environment prepares students for an ever-changing workplace. But with all the emphasis the university places on internationalization, is UBC succeeding in shaping its students into the coveted “global citizen” during their four or five-year education?
Well, it’s certainly trying.
Bringing students here
For starters, UBC brings a large number of students from all over the world to its campus. International students make up about 23 per cent of all undergraduates and 32 per cent of all graduate students.
But why place such importance on international admissions in the first place?
To put it bluntly, “We’ve always believed that having interactions with people from other places enhances our own knowledge of the world,” said UBC Okanagan associate dean of graduate studies and advisor to the DVC on international initiatives Dr. Thomas Heilke. “It was understood that that interaction — those cultural differences — were part of what enhanced your education.”
According to vice provost and associate VP International pro tem Pam Ratner and executive director of international student initiatives Karen McKellin, these students are doing exactly that. They “contribute to the UBC community’s intercultural understanding and bring international perspectives to bear within the classroom and community that are so important for all future global citizens.”
The university’s mission to internationalize is also benefiting from global trends. In a 2015 examination of globalization in higher education, The Atlantic noted the emergence of a middle class in countries such as China and India has led to an influx of students with the funds to study overseas. This is an attractive option considering many universities in these countries are struggling to accommodate the large number of otherwise qualified students.
But campus internationalization involves more than just bringing the students to campus.
“Just bringing students from elsewhere … isn’t enough,” said Heilke. “If you’re wanting that activity to be a part of campus internationalization, you also have to create opportunities for those students … to get together in meaningful ways.”
This means providing access to programs like UBC Tandem, which brings together students who aim to learn each other’s languages, as well as encouraging students to discuss with one another inside the classroom.
“Ideally … you learn to empathize with folks who might have different life circumstances, think a bit differently from you,” said UBC political science professor Dr. Arjun Chowdhury on the topic of learning globally. “The idea is that even if you don’t agree with them all the time, you can think a little bit like, ‘Okay, why do they think the way they do? Where are they coming from? And the easiest way of doing that is to actually talk. Books are very important, but they are limited in that regard.”
Not everyone has embraced the idea of campus internationalization.
Many worry domestic seats may be filled by the influx of those from outside of Canada. Yet, the university is adamant this is not the case and international students are not in fact displacing domestic students in government-subsidized seats (according to UBC’s 2016 Enrollment Report, Canadian representation actually grew on both UBC campuses in the last year). Even when international students are admitted to the university, they face a high barrier to entry as differential fees continue to rise.
Sending students there
Campus internationalization goes both ways. It’s not just about bringing students from all over the world to UBC, but also sending students from the university throughout the globe. In this regard, the university provides a fairly solid support base. Programs like Go Global and co-op allow domestic and international students alike to spend time living, working and studying abroad.
“Personal development, understanding of self, position in the world ... and identity [are] a big component of these experiences,” said Taryn Cigagna, associate director of Go Global international learning programs.
Programs like these not only give students the opportunity to “live the classroom content,” she noted, but also give students the chance to meet people from around the world, learn about themselves, become independent and resilient, and develop “some intercultural competency and awareness for broader issues.”
While going abroad is not the only way to develop these skills, it certainly provides an environment conducive to this kind of learning.
“I think being able to remove yourself from here — a place where you’re comfortable, where you understand and being thrown into something new — it kind of presses the fast forward button to some degree on being able to ask these questions and develop these awarenesses earlier,” said Cigagna.
Students can also take advantage of a more academic route with the Dual Degree program, a partnership between UBC arts and the internationally acclaimed Sciences Po, which allows them to spend two years in France and two in Canada. The Dual Degree exposes learners to two separate national educational cultures, the differences in which English professor Dr. Janet Giltrow argued in a statement, “become the materials for developing perspectives on knowledge itself, what it is, how cultures value it and so on.”
Students also benefit from studying under faculty who travel abroad. UBC Policy 83, last revised in 2005, recognizes faculty travel as a “necessary component in the gathering and dissemination of information and knowledge.”
According to Heilke, “part of [professors’] activity as researchers, and what they bring back to the classroom, is to be active in a global sense: to be working internationally with colleagues in a variety of ways and to encourage our students to do that.”
“A responsibility to be diversifying”: Is UBC succeeding?
So is the university succeeding in its attempt to create “global citizens?”
Ultimately, it depends on your definition.
“[Is] this global environment a place where folks who are interacting with each other have some common set of language and standards of reasoning? If it’s [this], then I think UBC can contribute. That is to say, why are folks coming to UBC from all over the world? It's because we can provide that,” said Chowdhury.
He noted that regardless of a university’s international status, a good school needs to give students not only the ability to converse with people from all over the world, but also the ability to discern when arguments make sense.
Cigagna believes international education is the key to creating “global citizens.”
“Within the changing world and dynamic of globalization, we have a responsibility as well to be diversifying the opportunities for students,” she said.
Still, others caution against the term “global” in its entirety. Giltrow believes the term could be construed simply as the “homogenization of privileged education.”
She noted while today’s top graduates may possess “global” skills — for example, mobility, diverse experiences, the ability to speak multiple languages and what she terms as a “cosmopolitan mentality” — she wonders “if those claims will survive the current re-think of ‘global’ and of the production of an elite.”
In truth, it’s hard give a definitive answer. Whether students find a career that takes them abroad, are able to speak a different language or are simply a little more open to opinions of others, there is no one measure for the degree of “globalization” in education.
In the end, Chowdhury said, the university has one main purpose. “The idea is that wherever you are coming from, why you’re here is to be exposed to the process of reasoning. And that is meant to give all of us a common framework to talk to each other. [As a professor], that’s what I’m trying to do.”

Boy, is it is cold and snowy out there! And with the cold and snow comes the chance to sell more winter tires, or replace tires destroyed by potholes.
But with the extreme cold in Northeast Ohio and other parts of the country comes another problem: low tire pressure. And what happens when tire pressure drops below a certain level? The tire pressure monitoring system sensors light up dashboards.
To drivers, that can be as scary as an episode of "The Walking Dead."
In his latest blog, Modern Tire Dealer Editor Bob Ulrich discusses tire inflation pressure and the weather. He also wants to know how tire dealers across the country are handling the situation.
To find out what he has to say, read why "Improper tire pressure remains a hot topic in the cold weather."
Oh, and if only to appease Ulrich, please let us know how you are handling tire pressure and the extreme cold by leaving a comment.

Anne Arundel High School Bands Battle Again
Over eight years, the Anne Arundel County Battle of the Bands has raised nearly $40,000 for local high school music departments, prompting the claim that it is the largest show of its kind in the country.
reviewed by Sam Farmer
Eleven bands from nine schools hit the stage for the ninth annual battle on Jan. 20, filling the auditorium at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts in Annapolis.
Playing first, Annapolis High’s The People set two records. With eight members trumpet, bass, guitar, tenor sax, trombone, keyboards, drums and three vocalists The People was the event’s all-time largest ensemble. Drummer Lucas Johnson set a second record as the event’s first musician to play for two bands in the same night. Battle veteran formerly keeping the beat for Chump, Johnson took home Best Drummer Award.
The People’s stylized opening every player except bassist Jacob Isbell standing back to the audience highlighted the band’s funk grooves. Two other bands featured horns, but none delved as deeply into funk as The People. That opening bass line went a long way in earning Isbell the Best Bassist Award.
“Being on stage was just so fun,” Isbell said.
For second-up Champagne, the first of South River High School’s tandem entries, saxophonist and back-up vocalist Anna Cocchiaro kept the energy high, sporadically winging glow-lights into the seats. But Champagne had the misfortune of preceding Annapolis High’s second act, The Tori Tullier Band.
At center stage, Tori Tullier sang lead and played keyboards. Her vocals were audible and pretty, a unique combination at this Battle. Cousin Allison Tullier a second Annapolis high schooler to play in two bands backed her up vocally and kept rhythm on bass. Katie Haney bowed the violin, and Lucas Johnson again elevated the music with his strong work on the drum rise.
Their sound was the cleanest and most dramatic departure to a lighter, lyrical genre. The set’s melodic four songs devoid of gimmick, emphasizing keyboards and taking advantage of rests and cadences earned second in the overall competition.
Tori Tullier claimed awards for Best Vocalist, Best Original Song, and Best Other Musician and announced the release of an album.
As for her originality, Tullier said, “At first, I wasn’t sure if it was going to work with us or against us. I wasn’t sure what the judges were expecting.”
Tullier’s sentiments reflect the Battle’s evolution into a rock show. Every band had a drummer, and nine featured both guitarist and bassist. Vocals took a backseat to wild jams; instrumentals were scarce; angst ran wild. No blues, jazz, bluegrass or Americana.
Any age seeks its tonic in formulas. Still, it would be a relief to see more young musicians treasuring a tradition that offers more than chaos and enmity.
South River High’s second band, We the Fearless, added acrobatics to the formula, as lead singer Jesse James broke into a combination of the moon walk and robot.
“The talent just keeps getting better,” crowed Battle founder and director Nancy Almgren, who stepped in front of the curtain next to throw T-shirts to the crowd and announce the addition of big screens on either side of the stage. “These bands improve so fast because they’re getting ready for this event.”
Up next was Choice, from Southern High, the smallest band of the night with just three members. The unmistakable highlight of this set was guitarist Robert Quigley, who played agile, noteworthy licks and delivered a walk-off, behind-the-back solo with the guitar propped on his shoulders. Quigley’s distinguished playing earned him Best Guitarist honors.
Broadneck’s pure metal band Revolta ended the first half of the six-hour Battle, unleashing a furious, screaming performance under red lights. It was difficult to listen to, though the sheer hostility became a curiosity. Revolta, who shattered a guitar as part of last year’s act, boasted the strongest cheering section.
Rock Five More Ways
North County High’s In Dead Last contributed with a stellar hard rock set. Led by the dark vocals of Rick Orzechowski who spent much time crouching at the edge of the stage Dead Last proved itself wrong, winning fourth place to finish in the money for North County’s music department.
Key School’s September First added another set of fairly conventional rock, though the band did a better than average job of acting like they were on stage for an audience.
St. Mary’s High’s … And Sometimes Why refocused the crowd with a straightforward, mature set of energetic rock and roll. With Nick Cintron belting vocals, Allison Tullier reappearing on bass, John Hobgood playing drums and Bobby Crutchley guitar, the quartet claimed first place.
“Going into it,” Hobgood said, “I didn’t really see it as a competition. All the bands were good, but they didn’t seem to have a lot over us.”
Hobgood and Crutchley played last year under the name Pompeii Graffiti with keyboardist Cara Santin, who has since graduated. After joining with Nick Cintron and picking up Allison Tullier mid-September, the band had played four shows. The Eastport Democratic Society hosts them Jan. 26 at its bimonthly teen concert series (525 State St.: 410-263-2022).
Playing 10th, Severna Park’s Stockyard defined their performance with thoroughly planned comedic bits, winning them both Best Stage Presence and third place.
Finishing the night was Plan B from Old Mill High School, playing a dry grunge set with a cover of The Master Plan.
“Every band was good,” said Lewis Poretz, who was joined on the judging panel by five diverse musical pros: Rob Timm, WRNR personality; Bruce Smith, president of Dejamuse Media Network; Jeremy Hayes, owner of Digital Dreams Studio; Sean O’Neill, booking agent; and J. Ernst Green, artistic director of The Annapolis Chorale.
Poretz, musician and owner of Premier Mortgage, received special recognition for his support of the event. “It was very close between the top two bands,” he said.

Decisions taken at the 1st CC meeting 23rd Jan 16
Campaign for Judicial Accountability and Reform
First Campaign Committee meeting
23rd January 2016, 3p.m.-6p.m.
6/6 basement, Jangpura B
- Round of introductions and review of agenda – facilitated by Cheryl Dsouza
- Summary of campaign highlights, activities and the road ahead – Prashant Bhushan, Convenor CJAR
- Campaign statement – facilitated by Siddharta Sharma
- Transparency policy – facilitated by Nikhil Dey
- Organizational structure, nomination of executive group – Facilitated by Prashant Bhushan
- Sub groups and nomination of sub group coordinators – Facilitated by Devvrat
- Finalising next steps, next meeting dates – Facilitated by Cheryl Dsouza
The Campaign for Judicial Accountability & Judicial Reforms (CJAR) is a response of people’s movements, campaign organizations and individuals working on public interest issues, to ensure a judicial system that is far more accountable, accessible and sensitive to the poor, marginalized and common people of this country. An efficiently functioning judiciary committed to the values of the constitution is essential for each citizen of the country. As members of the Campaign committee we are committed to a social, secular, democratic country and a judiciary that supports these principles and upholds the fundamental rights of each citizen of this country. We come together to reiterate that judicial accountability and transparency does not just concern the judiciary but fundamentally affects our constitutional, social and democratic structures. Unfortunately neither the government, political mainstream parties nor the judiciary have shown any serious commitment to ensuring the functioning of the judiciary on these norms. The campaign therefore intends to take these issues and campaign to the people, to build up a nationwide peoples movement for Judicial accountability and Reform so that there is organised public pressure on the authorities to bring about the desired change.
Annual convention – One of the aims of the convention will be to lay out the broad principles and priorities that will guide the work of the Campaign until the next convention. The convention will be held once every two years.

Old film may hold clues to Boise's Chinese tunnel lore
BOISE, Idaho (KBOI) —
A cannister containing the old 16-millimeter film has been on the shelves of a secure vault at the Idaho State Archives for who knows how long.
Social media buzz about the 15-minute film from the 1960s prompted archivists to take another look.
But does it appear to shed any new light on the lore of the tunnels: a purported underground network beneath Boise built by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century?
"There's the story going on for years about alleged Chinese tunnels. But there's no smoking gun," said David Matte, state archives administrator. "It's a journalist doing a story many years ago about the possibility of Chinese tunnels."
We've been unable to independently confirm the identity of the reporter in the film.
But the film only tells part of a story.
There are pictures but no sound.
And the state is looking into what it might cost to have sound restored to the film.
"It takes sophisticated equipment," said Matte. "There are two vendors in the Los Angeles and Seattle area who we'll be talking to to see if they can make a version with the sound. It'd be interesting to see what journalists were saying about the tunnels back then. And we know it was filmed underground so it will be interesting to learn what they were saying about those particular tunnels."
So be it fact or fiction, there's no doubt the plot thickens in the intriguing story of Boise's Chinese tunnels.

Concerns About Tile Weight and Floor Collapse
Article ID: 265 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Sun, Nov 20, 2016 at 8:51 AM
A. Thank you for sharing your concerns about the floor collapsing. If you can stand on your floor without falling in, chances are it will easily bear the distributed weight of the tile.
However, there are some other concerns. The first is deflection, that is, how flexible the floor is or what is called its bending strength. If the floor is too flexible, the tiles could crack. The best way to check deflection is to stand on the floor and jump up and down without lifting your feet off the floor. If you feel the floor bending, chances are the tiles may crack.
The second concern is the thickness of the sub floor. You should have a minimum sub floor thickness of 1 1/8 inch. This thickness will also help stiffen the floor and reduce deflection. I suggest you have a professional installer come in and do an evaluation. Click here to find a PRO in your area.

Sound — 8
Through the eyes of five musicians, who led similar yet differing lives, Take a look in The Mirror's sound drew back towards Korn's earlier era's, moving into deeper aspects and vigorous styles. The overall sound for this particular album was somewhat a statement for untouchables with a more quirky experimental sound, where as this album was more grainy, and has a dirtier sound. The album years styles taken from ther first, but also I feel pinches of Follow The Leader added in, all this making a soup of heavy guitar riffs, slap bass, and dosile heavy drumming. Innovations are not to be seen in this album, for now Korn remain what they always have been from where they begun. Korn (the album) was an innovation where as this is like a mutation of the first with every other album added in.
Lyrics — 6
Lyrically, the Korn remain with their typical lyrical structure. Using rather simple lyrics which time in with the rhythm like many other band who lead similar styles. I would say Korn's lyrics are their downpoint, on all albums of theirs. Lack of meaning is passed out, and basically it relys on a rather typical free verse style which yearn's not much complexity. Another factor the springs to mind is that on each album, their meanings for songs remain rather the same. Hate is the initial feeling, and with it all, the music actually reflects in the same way inducind a lack of progression through each album. On the other hand, Jonathan Davis' voice can alter the perception of the lyrics dramatically. His voice during the screams and growls is usually very heartfelt, and this is what he is quite good at; expression.
Overall Impression — 8
I think the accent of this albums among their other creations is a good one, to say the least it was good to see some traditional Korn, however there a quite a few points about the album in which I didn't admire all that much. This involved: rather untimely transitions between different sounds. This influenced a disjointed approach to some tracks, in particular Let's Do This Now and Deep Inside; David's drumming style is to be expected again as it has not budged from it's original position for when they started, as are the guitars. But the album was better then some of their previous albums. A couple of good points would be: a fairly well composed album, claiming a few different styles, that push the envelope for the music a little more; some good rythms which can be quite catchy at times. I do not own this album, but would probably buy it due to the fact that I respect the fact that they are musicians, and for that will respect and give the music a chance. What will Korn come up with next? Time will only tell and I hold some anticipation for it, hoping it will differ from all the rest in many ways.

As Springfield lawmakers wrestle with finalizing the upcoming state budget, Eastern Illinois University is already working on its funding request for the following year.
The EIU Board of Trustees’ Monday meeting is to include a vote on the university’s budget recommendations for fiscal year 2009, which will begin July 1, 2008.
The meeting is set for 1 p.m. in the University Ballroom, MLK Jr. Union.
The EIU BOT is expected to vote on a request for a $9.4 million increase in operating funds for FY09, an increase of 9.5 percent from the projected FY08 budget.
The figure includes a 5 percent increase to Eastern's salary base and an additional 2 percent increase for retention of critical faculty and staff; a 7 percent increase for Social Security payments (Medicare portion); a 15 percent increase for library acquisitions, which is expected to receive no increase in support in FY08; an 8 percent increase for Eastern's utilities budget, stemming from the rise in energy costs; and a 3 percent increase for general costs, which will include the operation and maintenance of the 183,000-square-foot addition to the Doudna Fine Arts Center.
Just more than half of EIU’s proposed budget (51 percent) comes from state-appropriated funds. This percentage has been dwindling since fiscal year 2002, when state funding made up 67 percent of EIU’s budget.
Between fiscal years 2002 and 2006, EIU’s general revenue funds from the state decreased $7.2 million. Last year, in FY07, EIU was granted an increase of $673,300.
For FY09 capital funds, EIU is expected to request $63.8 million, which would include the purchase of equipment for the new fine arts center ($1.5 million), the construction of a new science building ($9.1 million), rehabilitation of the aging steam plant ($14.3 million), and a growing list of infrastructure improvements.
EIU’s share of the FY08 state budget – covering July 1, 2007, to June 30, 2008 – is still unknown, as the state budget hasn’t been finalized. But the university is expecting an increase of $906,400 in state appropriations, based on the governor’s budget recommendations.
As part of the state’s annual budgeting process, EIU must submit its FY09 appropriations request to the Illinois Board of Higher Education which, in turn, will make its higher education budget recommendations to the governor. The governor presents his budget recommendations via his annual State of the Budget address, usually given in February.
In April, universities typically provide testimony regarding their budget requests before the Illinois House and Senate appropriations committees. The General Assembly normally finalizes appropriations by the end of May, although this has not yet occurred for the FY08 budget. After the legislators approve a budget, it goes to the governor for his approval. Funds are not released until the budget is approved.
The agenda and accompanying board materials for Monday’s meeting may be viewed online at http://www.eiu.edu/trustees.

Our take on developments in the investment ecosystems of East Africa
A New Investment Incentive Regulation is Already Underway
The Council of Ministers has come up with a new investment incentive regulation this month. After the introduction of investment laws in 2020, the business community had been looking for new investment incentive packages from the government. To the satisfaction of the investors and other stakeholders, the Council of Ministers has approved a new investment incentive regulation in its 8th ordinary summit. This regulation contains income tax and custom duty exemptions and introduced some big changes to the investment ecosystem compared to the previous law. (Read our review of the new incentive regulation here.)
The National Bank of Ethiopia Revised the Reserve Requirement for a Second Time This Year
The National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) took different measures to mitigate the soaring inflation in Ethiopia, one of which was increasing the reserve requirement of commercial banks. However, this month the NBE reversed that decision and reduced the reserve requirement of commercial banks from 10% to 7%. In September 2021 when the NBE introduced a 10% reserve requirement, the decision was seen as a means to reduce the supply of money in the market. However, this month’s measure of reduction in the reserve requirement is expected to increase the flow of money in the market and fuel the already skyrocketing inflation rate.
Financial Regulator has Banned Virtual Currencies from the Ethiopian Market
The NBE has banned digital currencies. According to the NBE, there is a huge transaction rate through digital currencies and this is creating a suitable condition for money laundering and illegal financial activities in the country. The National Bank of Ethiopia Establishment Proclamation No. 591/2008 clearly recognizes Ethiopian Birr as the country’s national currency for any financial transaction in Ethiopia unless the NBE permits otherwise. In addition, National Payment System Proclamation No. 718/2011 clearly renounces payment systems that are not allowed by the NBE. In its press release this month, the NBE gave these rationales for the prohibition of virtual currency from Ethiopia’s financial system.
Recently, the Ethiopian government has introduced a National ID Program and embraced blockchain technology only for the effective implementation of a biometric ID system. Though the government opens its hand to blockchain technology in general, this decision shows its rejection of blockchain technology from the country’s financial sphere.
Council of Ministers Approves Budget for the Coming Fiscal Year
The Council of Ministers has approved Ethiopia’s budget for the coming fiscal year. The country’s budget for the 2022-2023 fiscal year will be 786.61 ETB which is an increase from the previous year’s amount by 16.59%. (1) The House of People Representatives (HPR) is expected to ratify the decision of the council. The major source of the budget will be domestic sources according to the Ministry of Finance. The government is expected to broaden its tax base to raise more money from domestic sources.
Senators Urge Efforts to Address Affordable Housing Gaps
In a recent meeting on Economic Development and Finance, Rwandan senators have put the Ministry of Infrastructure to task in order to fast-track sustainable urbanization in line with the National Strategy for Transformation 2018-2024. This is important to RENEW’s investment practice because it reveals affordable housing as a fairly underfunded sector in Rwanda and puts policies in place to accelerate urbanization. The World Bank earlier this year extended a $150 million loan for the expansion of access to housing finance. According to the New Times Rwanda, the 25-year credit facility, which was approved by parliament and cabinet, attracts an interest rate of 1.35% per annum. It will be implemented by the Development Bank of Rwanda, working with other financial institutions to expand mortgage lending. This will also set a precedent for investment firms looking to venture into the real estate sector and offer more debt financing.
EAC Says New Common External Tariff will Benefit Citizens
The East African Community (EAC) ministers recently adopted a higher tariff for fourth band goods produced outside of East Africa, such as dairy and meat products, cereals, textiles, edible oils, leather products, iron and steel, among others. The newly revised 35% regional Common External Tariff is likely to take effect in July as a second pillar to regional integration. It will promote efficiency in local production and manufacturing, which would ensure high quality East African products that can compete with other foreign imports. In addition, it will create jobs for the youth as expressed in a New Times interview with the Secretary General of the EAC, who said “We really encourage more people to come and invest in East Africa and produce from here, instead of bringing finished products, because bringing finished products means they are processed and manufactured elsewhere and you are creating jobs elsewhere.”
This decision by the EAC ministers in charge of trade and finance is a notable move towards regional economic integration and subsequently boosting trade and investment in the African Continental Free Trade Area.
CSOs want 70% of Budget for Development Expenditure
The civil society budget advocacy group (CSBAG) has criticized the government for allocating most of the country’s budget for consumption expenditures. For the 2022-2023 fiscal year, 30% of the country’s budget will be used for development purposes while the rest will be allocated to cover consumption expenses. According to the CSBAG, the delivery of services to citizens requires the allocation of more money to development expenses and this will not be seen in the coming fiscal year. In addition, the CSO shared its worries about the increasing public debt of the country. The public debt is resulting in low resource service delivery and the country needs to mobilize its domestic resources in order to tackle this problem. In addition, for economic recovery the CSO suggested zero new tax rates and a pro-people rental tax. Moreover, targeting the lower-income part of society and supporting the subsistence economy have been suggested as major ways to drive economic recovery.
38.8B UGX to be Reinvested in the Uganda Development Bank
Shareholders of the Uganda Development Bank (UDB) permitted the bank to retain UGX 38.8 billion of profit which will be used to finance development projects. Compared to 2021, the bank’s profit showed a 76% increase; this increase is attributed to growth in capitalization of the bank coupled with an increase in investment in interest-earning assets, notably loan disbursement to development projects and reinvestment of the profits to the bank. According to the CEO of the bank, the reinvestment “will be used for the growth of the investment portfolios in Uganda.”

2nd Building of the Central Common Government Office, the building which houses the ministry
|Formed||January 6, 2001|
|Headquarters||2-1-2 Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan |
|Parent agency||Government of Japan|
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (総務省, Sōmu-shō, also MIC) is a cabinet-level ministry in the Government of Japan. Its English name was Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications (MPHPT) prior to 2004. It is housed in the 2nd Building of the Central Common Government Office at 2-1-2 Kasumigaseki in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan.
The Ministry oversees the Japanese administrative system, manages local governments, elections, telecommunication, post, and governmental statistics.
The Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications (総務大臣, Sōmu Daijin) is appointed from among the members of the cabinet.
The Ministry was created on January 6, 2001, by the merger of the Ministry of Home Affairs (自治省), the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (郵政省, MPT) and the Management and Coordination Agency (総務庁). Certain functions of the Management and Coordination Agency were transferred to the Cabinet Office in this process, while many functions of the MPT were transferred to an independent Postal Services Agency which later became Japan Post.
The Ministry has the following subdivisions as of July 2011:
The minister of health is the minister of the Crown in the Canadian Cabinet who is responsible for overseeing health-focused government agencies including Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada, as well as enforcing the Canada Health Act, the law governing Canada's universal health care system. The current minister is Patty Hajdu.
The National Police Agency is an agency administered by the National Public Safety Commission of the Cabinet Office of the Cabinet of Japan, and is the central agency of the Japanese police system, and the central coordinating agency of law enforcement in situations of national emergency in Japan.
The Cabinet Office (CAO) is an agency of the Cabinet of Japan. It is responsible for handling the day-to-day affairs of the Cabinet. The Cabinet Office is formally headed by the Prime Minister.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, abbreviated MLIT, is a ministry of the Japanese government. It is responsible for one-third of all the laws and orders in Japan, and is the largest Japanese ministry in terms of employees, as well as the second-largest executive agency of the Japanese government after the Ministry of Defense. The ministry oversees four external agencies including the Japan Coast Guard and the Japan Tourism Agency.
The Ministry of Defense is a cabinet-level ministry of the Government of Japan charged with preserving the peace and independence of Japan and maintaining national security with the Japan Self-Defense Forces.
The ministries of Japan are the most influential part of the executive branch of the Japanese government. Each ministry is headed by a Minister of State appointed by the Prime Minister. In postwar politics, the posts of ministers have been given to senior legislators, mostly of the LDP. However, few ministers serve for more than one or two years to develop the necessary grasp of the organisation to become really influential. Thus, most of the power lies within the ministries, with the senior bureaucrats.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) or Home Ministry is a ministry of the Government of India. As the interior ministry of India, it is mainly responsible for the maintenance of internal security and domestic policy. The Home Ministry is headed by Union Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China is the first-ranked executive department of the State Council of the Government of the People's Republic of China, responsible for the foreign relations of the People's Republic of China. The ministry is led by the Foreign Minister, currently State Councilor Wang Yi. The agency has its headquarters in Chaoyang District, Beijing.
The federal administration of Switzerland is the ensemble of agencies that constitute, together with the Swiss Federal Council, the executive branch of the Swiss federal authorities. The administration is charged with executing federal law and preparing draft laws and policy for the Federal Council and the Federal Assembly.
The Ministry of Transportation and Communications is a cabinet-level governmental body of the Republic of China (Taiwan) in charge of all policy and regulation of transportation and communications networks and administration of all transportation and communications operations and enterprises in Taiwan.
Ministry of Information and Communications is the government ministry in Vietnam. It is responsible for state administration of newspapers; publishing; posts; telecommunications and internet; broadcasting; radio frequency; information technology, electronics; radio, television and national media infrastructure.
The Political Warfare Bureau is the affiliated authority of the Ministry of National Defense (MND) of the Republic of China (Taiwan) that is responsible for all the political warfare affairs of the Republic of China Armed Forces.
Keizō Hayashi was a Japanese civil servant, general officer and the first Chairman of Joint Staff Council (JSC), a post equivalent to Chief of the General Staff in other countries, from 1954 to 1964. He was instrumental in founding the post-war Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) in 1954.
Ministry of Communications is a union ministerial agency under the Government of India responsible for telecommunications and postal service. It was carved out of Ministry of Communications and Information Technology on 19 July 2016. It consists of two departments viz. Department of Telecommunications and the Department of Posts.
Naomichi Suzuki is a Japanese politician who currently serves as Governor of Hokkaidō. He previously served as mayor of Yūbari city for two consecutive terms from 2011 to 2019. He had also served in Regional Sovereignty Strategy Office of Cabinet Office and as a chief of General Affairs Division in General Affairs Department at Tokyo Governor's Office.
The Fire and Disaster Management Agency (FDMA) is an external agency attached to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in Japan.

RUST MAGAZINE SAYS:
Hollis Brown makes today the best day ever. Their debut album “Ride On The Train” is an immediate classic. Pulling from the roots of rock, soul, ballads, folk and jam this hybrid sound feels as comfortable as your old jeans and sneakers on a stroll through sunlit paths. Get-up-and-jam tracks are mixed with patient ballads and they all sound distinctive. Superior songwriting, analog processing and a self-evident dedication to musical excellence across the board has resulted in a total package of musical intensity.
Not only is “Ride On The Train” a must-have for any rock and roll fan. Whatever you’re doing today, stop. Take a pause, just for a moment. Check Hollis Brown out. That task can wait. That email can wait. Invest just a single moment to take a listen to this amazing band. Essential.
HOLLIS BROWN GETS LOADED- By Bill Bentley, Columnist- Defying the odds of gravity and greatness, the Brooklyn-based Hollis Brown band records all the songs on one of the perfect rock albums, Velvet Underground’s Loaded, and still manages to hold their head high. So what may have looked like a long shot on the assembly line turns into an inspired piece of music-making. When the Velvets’ fourth (and last) studio album was released in 1970, it finally looked like the ultra-boundary-breaking New York outfit would get their due. Except for one small problem: the Velvet Underground had already broken up. So soon-to-be classic Lou Reed songs “Sweet Jane,” “Rock and Roll,” “New Age” and others were left in the cold light of winter to die, only to live now and see another day. Now that Hollis Brown has decided to do their own take of the entire album, it’s clear this is rock that has never been surpassed. By anyone. As much as what Hollis Brown has accomplished by putting their own life into these ten songs, it is also a mighty display of courage to even attempt such a thing, proving that lives are still being saved by rock and roll — and Lou Reed.
RIDE ON THE TRAIN
BY Greg Jones
Ride on the Train is an album that a lot of people are going to love for its multi-generational appeal. But besides that, it’s just good rock music. It’s hard to peg a specific sound on it. There are no “skip” songs on this album though. Be prepared to keep it in your player, on repeat, for a long time. Oh, and the next time one of your friends says “they just don’t make music like they used to,” you slap them and hand them this album. But make sure you slap them first, for dramatic effect.
Hollis Brown have a classic sound that is sure to satisfy a variety of music fans. There’s a certain timeless element to their sound that will have typical “classic rock” fans happy. But what they also have going for them is a refreshing newness. They sound like a band that you’ve heard before, but odds are you haven’t. That’s because Hollis Brown reflect some of the greatest bands in rock music from Tom Petty to The Eagles to Lynrd Skynrd.
Hollis Brown’s “Down on Your Luck” sounds like it could have come straight out of 1966. It makes the listener feel like that “cold wind blowin’” is out the windows of an old Camaro or Mustang. “When the night runs cold and you’re down on your luck…” highlights the theme of the songwriter being available to help. But really what makes this song so good isn’t lyrical complexity, but rather a Creedence kind of joy. If you played this at a party and told the crowd it was a lost Creedence reel, you wouldn’t get much criticism. $35 SKU:21931

Amateurs beat space agencies to Titan pictures
I think that this is rather cool. With an ordinary computer & free software, everyday amateur astronomers and space enthusiasts can add to the knowledge base of planetary exploration.
Here is a story from Nature News.com:
A group of enthusiastic amateurs managed to process raw images of Titan from the Huygens probe faster that any of the giant space agencies in charge of the mission.
NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) usually process images from space missions using sophisticated computer software before being releasing them to the public. Changing the contrast, brightness and even colouring the pictures can help to pick out key features that would otherwise go unnoticed.
