“We are thrilled to announce that we are expecting our first child together,” the couple said in a statement to JustJared.com. “We can’t wait to meet the new addition to our family.”
Lily is reportedly three months along. Can’t wait to see the little one – the baby’s going to be so cute!
Caleb, 29, and Lily, 25, got married at San Ysidro Ranch on May 12 in Montecito, Calif.
Caleb‘s younger brother – and KoL bassist – Jared Followill tweeted about the good news: “So excited to be an uncle! Congrats Caleb & Lily! If it’s a boy, we gonna be hitting da club together every night! If it’s a girl….church.”
Brothers Jared Followill, Nathan Followill, and Caleb Followill from the rock group The Kings of Leon made guest appearances on the Thursday (December 8) episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadephia on FX.
After the clip aired, Jared jokingly tweeted, “And the Emmy for Breakthrough Acting in a Comedy Series goes to……..Jared Followill, Bartender #2!!!!!”
“Thanks for watching guys,” he added. “Maybe #KingsOfLeon and #SunnyFX can reunite one day. ;)”
Nathan also jokingly sounded off, “And so my acting journey begins. I’ve already got 5 auditions lined up for tomorrow. I’m currently interviewing agents.”
Kings of Leon: ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ Guest Stars!
The Kings of Leon frontman caught up with his sweetheart, 25, after she took part in the Victoria’s Secret Supermodel Cycle at SoulCycle Tribeca earlier in the evening.
Lily teamed up with fellow Angels Candice Swanepoel, Erin Heatherton, and Alessandra Ambrosio to participate in a charity bike ride to help raise funds for Pelotonia, an organization with the goal of ending cancer.
The docu kicks off at the annual Followill family reunion in the back woods of Talihina, Oklahoma, where the boys return to their roots and unwind with their family. First-time director and Followill friend Stephen C. Mitchell weaves personal home videos, unedited interviews and behind-the-scenes footage of the band’s journey from their small-town beginnings — spent in poverty and touring the Bible Belt with their father, a Pentecostal evangelist minister, and their devout mother — to living the rock star dream.
Fine out more about the Grammy Award-winning band in Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon, which will premiere on Showtime on Sunday, August 21 at 10 PM ET/PT.

Record-breaking 1,850 participants
Record-breaking 1,850 participants join Sepang International Circuit’s
‘Last Kopek Before Raya’ night session
SEPANG, 5 July 2016
– With just a few days to go before Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Sepang International Circuit (SIC) held its “Last Kopek Before Raya” night session at the circuit last Friday. A record-breaking 1,850 participants – the largest number of participants to join SIC’s motorsports-free sessions so far – took part in a healthy workout before the upcoming Raya festivities, which will undoubtedly be filled with get-togethers and open house visits among family and friends, complete with plenty of delicious food.
“In this final build-up to Aildilfitri, preparations are typically in full swing and can be hectic and even stressful. So, it is good to see everyone relaxing with their family and friends by keeping fit. Raya is also often when many may overindulge in their favourite traditional dishes and snacks, but do get back to your usual healthy lifestyle once the festive season is over. We’ll be organising more activities to encourage Malaysians to keep fit here at SIC, so we hope everyone will join us again. The SIC team would like to wish everyone a blessed Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Stay safe and enjoy the holidays,” said SIC Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Razlan Razali.
The night session, held from 9.00pm to 2.00am, saw members of the public of all ages participating with their family members, friends and colleagues. Participants came dressed in the recommended sports attire, complete with appropriate safety gear.
Sepang International Circuit has organised several Motorsports Free Morning sessions for the public since last year, with night sessions held during Ramadan, not just for the participants’ comfort, but also allowing ample time for buka puasa
prayers. However, following tremendous support and positive feedback from the public to continue with more night sessions, SIC is looking at the possibility of making the night sessions a monthly activity. So, look out for announcements from SIC soon!
Keep track of SIC’s latest activities on their website at www.sepangcircuit.com

Kanye West Has Lost His Mind
Okay people change and grow over time and all that good nonsense, but for real, what the hell happened to Yeezy?? Kanye hasn't been the same since the Yeezus album...which was terrible. What happened to the Kanye that was standing up for us on Live TV telling the world that George Bush doesn't care about black people?
That Kanye doesn't exist anymore. Unfortunately, we've been having to deal with the clone version of Kanye; one who once called out a President for not caring about black people, but now calls President Trump his brother. This whole scenario has made the movie "Get Out" all the more relevant because it's based on a true story, Kanye has fallen into the sunken place. Now there is nothing wrong with having political preference or dating outside your race, but openly endorsing people who have made comments degrading different races of people countless times, and then to say "slavery was a CHOICE"??? Sorry Kanye but this does not sit well with the black delegation.
Hearing stupid stuff like this come out of Kanye's mouth would make you think, is everything ok with you Yeezy?
From 2004 to 2008, Kanye blessed us with some of the dopest albums in Hip Hop; The College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, and 808s and Heartbreak. Yes Kanye, we loved you, but to say you switched up on us would be an understatement. Saying that slavery was a choice was not a well thought out statement, but Kanye has never shied away from saying how he feels. This statement is different. Not only is it insensitive to the millions of black people that were FORCED into slavery, and the millions of others who died as a result, but it's an insult to a generation of black people today that look up to Kanye. In a climate today where comments on race and sexuality are extremely sensitive, this is a major letdown.
Black people are still dealing with racism to this day, and to think that our ancestors chose to stay in slavery is utterly ridiculous. We understand that you encourage new ways of thinking Kanye, but this idea is trash. Kanye West has the ultimate platform, millions of fans, so why use it to put down your own people? Kanye sent the internet into an uproar with his recent comments, but leave it up to black twitter to make light out of a sticky situation.
Now the next time Jesus Walks or Slow Jamz comes on, will we switch the song or are we just going to keep turning our head and act like he didn't just say this nonsense?
Kanye, the fans love you, but you are cancelled until further notice.

1. A point of history:
Over the past 15 years, Ireland often has had a budget surplus, while France and Germany often were in breach of the Maastricht criteria, for both Debt and deficit levels (2003 and after).
Were France and Germany sanctioned for cheating their way? No Nay Never!
Was Ireland rewarded for its good behaviour? Again: never!
Now that Ireland has been in breach for the past 3 years, France and Germany are coming down hard on Ireland like a ton of bricks, making matters worse with a bailout interest rate that is punitive instead of being supportive.
2. Please correct me if I am wrong:
Being as the cost of funding is for the EFSF is 3% lower than what Ireland has to pay, this is not solidarity, this is exploitation: in a way, Ireland is working hard, while France and Germany get money for nothing.
One could say they are not giving us money. It is quite the reverse: the money is going from us to them.
German or French media seem to be utterly “unaware” of this. Who is right?
3. ECB rates have been toxic for Ireland.
The more peripheral the economy, the more “eccentric” or de-correlated with the European average it is, and the longer it may take to converge towards a Euro happy medium.
What definitely wreaked havoc on our economy are interest rates tailored to suit the bulk of the Eurozone economy, i.e. France and Germany.
Given the eccentric nature of peripheral Eurozone economies in the past 15 years, these rates have been completely irrelevant to these countries needs in terms of economic stability and sustainability. Their artificially low levels have exacerbated inflation and property bubbles in Greece and Portugal, but also mostly in Spain and Ireland.
So even if unwittingly, and certainly quite uncaringly, Germany and France are among the main culprits causing the current debacle. Yet it seems we alone have to mop up the mess with more punishment than support from fellow European states!

Here are some poems I skimmed across and absolutely love.
"10 Things I Want To Say To A Black Woman" I viewed on my sister's page.
I absolutely love her eccentric being.
Visit her at : http://www.facebook.com/fadeke.ayilola
The next one was totally random but ended up very meaningful and a really blunt poem I relate to.
I must say, The Arts (Poetry, Dance, Music *vocal/instrumental*) is more heavily concentrated and encouraged up North.
Compared to living in the South where you sort of have to search for the Arts, Karaoke, Spoken Word nights etc.
Don't let our Arts die!
They are our voice.

Hello and welcome to Gazette Midday. Here’s the rundown on some of the stories we’re following for you today.
Montreal’s first homicide has been recorded with the discovery this past weekend of the body of a woman who went missing from downtown Montreal on Dec. 29. Meanwhile, Montreal police were reportedly called to a plumbing company in Outremont after a man was shot at least once in front of the establishment.
Sunday’s fresh snowfall seems to be delaying the city’s attempts to finally clean up the last of the 45 cms. dumped on the island on Dec. 27. And some goods news that suggests Quebec’s highways were less deadly over the holiday season.
Chief Theresa Spence, whose hunger strike against the erosion of First Nations rights has become the spark that ignited the Idle No More movement, received more support over the weekend.
And finally, the milestones just keep on coming for Apple, as the computer giant recorded its 40 billionth app download.

[ Feb.2015 ] Main destination for our short trip to Emilia Romagna in Italy this time was Ravenna.
I had heard the mosaics there were wonderful, but they were more than wonderful.
Seeing is believing– I was really surprised at their beauty.
We bought the ticket ( €9.50) with which we could visit 5 buildings listed in the World Heritage.
The first was Basilica of San Vitale.
They started building in 527 when Ravenna was under Goths and completed in 548 when it was under Byzantin Empire.
And apparently it is the masterpiece of Byzantine architecture.
I do not know anything about architectures, but if they say the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul is another Byzantine example, this basilica may be similar to that, for example, the empty space in the centre and the way they put windows.
All those powerful pictures on the wall were made of small pieces of natural stones and glasses like point drawings, which is really amazing.
My favourite one was the mosaic of Empress Theodora.
Empress is depicted majestically.
She is even bigger than the emperor.

At the start of the Bitcoin rally, Altcoins did not see any substantial upswing, in fact, it was assumed that the Altcoin season had closed for the year, a matter of out with the old, and in with the new, as Bitcoin stunned and easily stole everyone’s attention with each resistance level it broke on its path to the anticipated $20,000. Altcoins were losing their momentum and a retraction in Bitcoin price did not seem like a saving grace.
Analysts insisted that altcoins have been overbought and investors were retrieving their investments and throwing them back into Bitcoin, but Bitcoin’s recent milestone at $15,000 sent Altcoins on a sudden high. It appears that Altcoins are picking up rather quickly as the top ten Cryptocurrencies including XRP soared and gained between 5% to 14%. But for some Ripple (XRP) fans, the token has not performed well enough to give them satisfaction. In a tweet that summed up the thoughts of many Ripple users, David Gokhshtein asked when XRP was going to have its own moment and head for a bull run.
Among many sarcastic comments was a user who opined that the relevance of the XRP coin was dependent on the Ripple network.
“Only if Ripple commits to donate 50 billion $xrp to the IMF (or to burn it) as it comes out of escrow. There is no way xrp can fly while Ripple wallow in their gluttonous risk free holding.”
This take is not a foreign one. In February, a Ripple member suggested that 25% of the entire token supply be burnt to help drive up the price of the struggling asset. Ripple has processed around $54 million in its XRP/MXN in a week. The stagnation in the price of XRP has stirred constant debates within the community.
The programmatic sale of XRP by Ripple has warranted criticism that Ripple may have a hand in slowing down the growth of its native token. In 2017, Ripple committed to sending a total of 55 billion XRP to an escrow account that will then be frozen.
On the first day of every month, 1 billion XRP is released for sale and at the close of the month, the unsold XRP is sent back to the escrow account. While many critics have argued that this pattern of sale has influenced the price of XRP, Ripple has argued overwise. Proving that the company has no control of the coin’s price movement, Ripple referenced the 390% increase in on-demand liquidity, which was surprising to see as Ripple witnessed an 80% decline in its regular traditional sale.


Bareilly: Pothole-free roads in Uttar Pradesh would soon have saffron-coloured boards, with pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya on it , along with the slogan 'sarkar ka sankalp, sadkon ka ho kayakalp' (the government's pledge is to transform roads), the Public Works Department said on Wednesday.
The Times of India reported that as per officials at the PWD, the department is working on making a total of 2.6 lakh kilometers of roads In the state pothole free.
Giving more details about the project, Deputy CM Maurya told the daily that the Yogi Adityanath government had "inherited 1.21 lakh kilometers of pothole-riddled roads" from the previous Akhilesh Yadav dispensation. More than 3 lakh kilometres of roads are laid down in the state.
Maurya told the daily, "We have repaired most of the stretches. The work of repairing roads is a continuous process and we have adopted new techniques in which the age of a road will be increased from five to 25 years."
The deputy chief minister added that once the construction and repair work on the roads is completed by the Public Works Department, 'unipoles' would be erected on it which would display information about the assembly and Lok Sabha constituencies.
He further said, "The unipoles which will come up on the roadsides will inform the public about the places that the road connects. The unipoles will also bear information about the assembly and Lok Sabha constituencies."
One board per road would be constructed under the project and the cost of each board will be around Rs 15,000, Maurya informed.
"The installation cost of boards may vary from district to district depending upon the number of stretches to be marked," he added.
As per the report, nearly 135 roads in the outskirts of Bareilly have been noted by the department where 135 boards would be erected, as per the information by the PWD Bareilly division.

A Royal Affair - John Wiltshire
Author: John Wiltshire
Editions: Paperback and E-book
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press 2014
LGBT Historical Fiction
Doctor Nikolai Hartmann represents himself as a learned man of science who believes wholly in the rational and scientific above all else. In reality, he is a man haunted by an unusual past and running from his own nature. While the Reformation transforms much of Europe, it has yet to touch Hesse-Davia; this is a land mired in superstition with cruel punishments for crimes such as witchcraft and sodomy.
While traveling to the dying king s bedside to offer his medical expertise, Nikolai is set upon by a bandit. Reaching the king s ancient stronghold, he discovers his mysterious brigand is the beautiful, arrogant Prince Aleksey. Aleksey is everything Nikolai is not: unguarded, passionate, and willful. Despite their differences, Nikolai feels an irresistible desire for the young royal that keeps him in Aleksey s thrall.
But Hesse-Davia is a dangerous world for a newly crowned king who wants to reform his country and for the man who loves him."
This book is unlike anything I have ever read, it is unpredictable with great world building. A Royal Affair is set in a middle European world called Hessa-Davia, which is cruel and seems more medival than Nikola Hartmann is used to. I read an except on my kindle, and was instantly hooked and bought it in paperback, what a brilliant decision!!
At first Niko could be seen as being a the lone grumpy healer, while Aleksey could be seen as a spoiled prince. However the sexual tension between the two kept me reading on tenterhooks till the end. I always enjoy a slow build in a relationship and these two danced around their feelings for a while until finally they understood each other. The best part was that they both grew together until you couldn't imagine the one without the other. The style of writing that Wiltshire uses is different from anything else I have read, as foreshadowing and speaking directly to the reader is a technique Wiltshire uses freely.
Overall the book was thrilling and emotional with a solid plot that did keep me feverishly reading. However I found the ending a little rushed. Yet I feel I need to re-read the novel to see if my criticism is valid, but I felt the build to the climax of the story was over far too quickly, with no room to mourn the tragedy.
Overall however I would give this novel a 3.5 Stars, and would recommend it to people who love tragic fairy tales and betrayed princes. I am now a John Wiltshire fan and apparently their is a sequel to this novel.

There are many elements that are essential for any website. One of these elements is web hosting. One could argue that web hosting is the most important element, because it allow the website to become live on the Internet. There is a lot more information on web hosting than this introduction can hold, so the following article will tell you more.
You should always back up your data on your own, instead of relying on your web host to protect your information. The more backups you keep of your data, the more protected you will be. Before paying a hosting provider, ask them about their backup services and how much redundancy protection they have available.
Choose a web host with a CPanel. This feature allows you to install many different plug ins in a few clicks. For instance, most blogging platforms are hard to install without the CPanel feature. This kind of feature will help you improve your site without acquiring any kind of technical skills.
A key factor for choosing a web host is available tech support. Should your site go down for any reason, you do not want to have to wait for tech support to be available during specified business hours. If a company is offering less than a full 24-hour support, 7 days a week, year-round, they should not fall under consideration. You need to know that someone besides yourself is concerned with keeping your site up.
If you are getting started with your website, you should look for a web host that allows you to use 30MB of storage space. This is the average size of a new site, but you should expect it to grow as you add more content overtime, at least up to 100MB.
If you are running an online business, you should avoid using a free web hosting service. Most free web hosting services do not have reliable up-time which means lost revenue. In addition, they also have forced banner ads and popup ads which can make your website seem unprofessional. Finally, a lot of free web hosting services do not give you the option of having your own domain name. If you are serious about your business, the cost of obtaining paid hosting should not be significant at all considering the benefits you will receive.
Linux and Windows are both popular platforms, and each is used individually by many web hosts. In effect, this requires you to learn the features of nuances of each platform. Linux, generally less costly to run than Windows, may lower your site’s monthly bills.
Find out what kind of other websites your service is hosting. If you notice that a lot of spammy or unreliable websites are hosted alongside with yours, most search engines will be more likely to rank your site lower because of this. Remember that your business will be associated with the host you choose.
Make sure your host can connect to the Internet through many connections. A host with only one connection can easily go offline, which means your site goes down also. Make sure there is more than one connection, and that all connections have sufficient bandwidth that your site will respond quickly to HTTP requests.
Do not neglect the value of user reviews when it comes to choosing a web hosting service. There are often others who have had experience with the company you are considering, whether it is good or bad. It will never hurt to do a quick check on what others have to say, then you can make your decision accordingly.
No matter how reliable your host is, you should always have a back up of your files on your computer or on another server. In case your host goes down for too long, you will be able to open a new account and upload your website again instead of waiting for your host to come back online.
If you plan on having a small website and not having to upload pictures or other large files, then you need not worry about bandwidth or storage space when choosing your web hosting service. You can even choose an unlimited bandwidth plan since you will always qualify for this offer.
Pick a web hosting company that offers around the clock customer service. In the competitive world of web hosting, 24-hour service is the minimum these days. Any company that doesn’t offer this is simply not competitive. When you are attempting to get someone on the line at 3 a.m. when your site crashes, you will be glad you have this service.
Check how many customers your host supports. This may not be as big of a concern with very large companies, but it can make a huge difference if you are with a small one. A larger number of customers results in bandwidth that is split more ways, and too many users on one server will slow things down to a crawl.
Ensure your web hosting provides adequate security. Security should always be a primary concern, but it is even more crucial if your site is going to be involved in any e-commerce. Look for a multi-layered security approach that will protect both you and your potential customers from hackers and identity thieves.
Web hosting skills will require some management techniques you should be accustomed to if working in an industrial setting. Instead of people and salaries, you are commanding sets of files and information as well as their various tasks to accomplish via a cPanel. Thinking in this mind-frame makes it easier to comprehend some of the advanced techniques mentioned.
Become proficient in talking about the process of web hosting before you begin your search. Web hosting has its own language that can be very off-putting to those people who never took the time to study it prior to choosing a web host. With just a little studying, you can find yourself ahead in the game when it comes to choosing the best hosting company for you.
Put simply, every website needs certain important elements, one of which is web hosting. It can be considered the most important due to the fact that without it, websites cannot reach the Internet. You should know more about web hosting after reading this article and be able to put your site on the Internet with ease.

All Window Treatments
Window treatments play an important part in the overall decor in every room, and they also add usefulness. Depending on the type of room you are decorating – from the bedroom to living room and kitchen – the type of window panels, curtains and shades you choose, may naturally vary according to the room’s functions and your needs and preferences. For example, in your bedroom, you may want thicker coverage for more privacy, while in your living room, you may want thinner, sheer curtains for a flowing look. As there are more than just curtains and drapes to choose from, you can also use shades to let in as little or as much light as you want. At west elm, we have everything you need to put the finishing touches on the overall design that you have chosen for each room of your home through our window treatments.
When it comes to curtains and drapes, the type of fabric construction you choose is an important consideration. Cotton curtains are one of the most popular fabrics for curtains, as many cotton curtains are machine washable, easy to care for and are available in a myriad of styles and colors that easily complement any room or space, from your bedroom to your entryway. Look for cotton curtains in delicate patterns, solid bright colors or neutral hues to match your existing decor.
Linen is a similar type of fabric that works well as the primary material in curtain- and drape-making, but it is woven from a flax plant as opposed to a cotton seed. A little thicker, linen curtains add more texture to the room. For the ultimate in texture and comfort, Belgian flax linen curtains are a terrific choice. Other types of fabric include velvet, which is lovely for a romantically-styled bedroom, and jacquard, which is luxurious to the touch. Most of the available curtains come as only one panel, while others are readily available as a set of two to complete your window treatment. For those who desire extra coverage, including blocking out of harmful UV rays, blackout curtains and panels are a good choice. These are often available as a choice for any other fabric you’re shopping for. For instance, you may opt for a Belgian flax linen panel, but easily add a blackout panel behind it, so you have both the style you want as well as coverage.
Shades are an excellent way to ensure you have privacy when you need it, but also give you the ability to open your window treatments wide, letting in fresh air and light. Choose pull-down shades for complete coverage, or opt for blinds, which are tiltable, adding in as little or as much light as you like. Blinds are often available in white or off-white colors, but to complement decor, they are also available in neutral hues such as beige, or deeper colors such as espresso. Blinds and shades are often excellent choice for kitchens and bathrooms, but coordinate well in any room of the home. For coverage plus elegance, pair your favorite blinds with your favorite set of drapes or curtains, offering you quite a few options on bright, sunny days, or when you need privacy.
All of the available curtains and drapes work with our window hardware, which is sold separately. Choose from different rods, knobs, rings and other hardware to completely polish off your look in each room. Not only does the window hardware pair well with available drapes and curtains, all of the hardware is incredibly easy to install, making it a breeze when it comes to window treatment installation time. Many finishes for hardware are available, such as brass, copper and nickel, offering you a contemporary touch that subtly blends in with your drapes, blinds or curtains.

By Grieve Chelwa
Close to three weeks ago, the Zambian government announced that they'd finally reached an agreement with official creditors to restructure some $6.3billion of external debt. The agreement allows for much longer maturities, concessional interest rates and a moratorium on principal repayments until 2026. Further, the agreement excludes domestic debt from being subjected to restructuring, which is a big relief. Requiring the restructuring of domestic debt would have been fatal for our nascent bond and financial markets.
The debt deal is certainly a welcome development that should provide much-needed fiscal space for government to (hopefully) undertake development-oriented projects. It is also worth pointing out that this deal only solves one part of Zambia's debt, which is debt owed to official entities (foreign governments, foreign official lenders, international financial institutions, etc...). Commercial debt, which is the other side of debt and owed to banks and bondholders, still remains unresolved (although reports suggest that a deal here too is eminent). The Ministry of Finance reported commercial debt as $5.91 billion at the end of 2022 (although this number is higher now due to the reclassification of some official debt as commercial debt).
In reading through the multitude of coverage on Zambia's deal, it struck me that the deal was effectively a deal with China. Several sources (see here, here and here) have reported that of the $6.3billion agreed to be restructured in the deal, about two-thirds (some $4.1billion) is money owed to the state-owned Export and Import Bank of China (EXIM China). The $4.1billion number is also what you'd get if you summed up all the money owed to EXIM China as contained in the Ministry of Finance's Public Debt Summary Statistics Report from last December (link here). Further, the features of the deal (maturity extensions, low interest rates, brief moratoria on principal repayments, limited haircuts, etc...) have the classic features of China's preferred approach to debt renegotiation/restructuring (see here, here and here for some of the academic evidence).
All this goes to show that the deal announced at the end of June was largely a deal with China. A columnist writing for Bloomberg on the deal rightly titled his article 'Zambia's Deal with China is a Landmark Moment'.
The above begs the question: What was the point of the Common Framework in this process?
The Common Framework, proposed by the G20, is supposed to be a mechanism to help poor countries resolve their debt problems by bringing together official creditors and borrowers. But for Zambia, which applied for debt treatment under the Common Framework over two years ago, the process was greatly slowed down as it became a sight for geopolitical shenanigans and posturing particularly by entities and countries that are no longer singularly important for the provision of credit to the global South and Zambia in particular. For example, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva used their visits to Zambia in January to cast China as the villain in the Common Framework process.
All the while that some folks were playing geopolitics with Zambia's debt, millions of Zambians, many of them crashingly poor, had to contend with the havoc wreaked by the uncertainties of unresolved debt. The value of the Zambian Kwacha has swung like a yo-yo in this long period of uncertainty causing a tailspin in the prices of essential commodities, many of them imported.
This is why at different stages in the process I, among some others, urged the Zambian government to ditch the currently inadequate multilateral approaches and rather negotiate directly with our creditors. All that we got with the Common Framework was a greatly delayed debt deal whose terms, as per the scholarly evidence above, are not materially different to what we'd have gotten had we gone directly to China in the first instance. Second, going the route of the Common Framework opened us up to yet another IMF programme whose conditions, as I have argued before on this blog, are anti-poor and anti-development in their design.
Zambia's experience shows that in this present moment of geopolitical reconfiguration, it is folly for poor countries to use the old, largely western-dominated multilateral system to resolve their economic crises. In the absence of genuinely fair and just multilateral arrangements, poor countries will need to take the initiative into their own hands to safeguard the interests of their citizens and those of future generations.

Hi, i'm having some trouble installing firmware on my APM 2.6 . My computer recognizes the device in the devices control panel (Arduino Mega 2560 COM 5). Next I go to the the mission planner to select the COM port i want. I select COM 5. It does NOT say "Arduino Mega 2560 COM 5" as some tutorials i've seen have, just COM 5. Finally i go to "install firmware" and select ArduPlane. After taking a very long time to load it says "Communication Error-No connection" at the end. I've attached some screen snap shots showing the different steps I took. Any advice would be great!
All I can think of is to try uploading the firmware using the Arduino IDE?
I installed Mission Planner on my other laptop and it worked. It showed "Arduino Mega 2560 COM 5" in the drop down menu instead of just "COM 5" like my other computer. I tried reinstalling it, but to no avail. I'm thinking it might be some sort of driver problem? anyway at least I know its not my board.

Resolutions. To do or not to do… Merriam Webster gives this:
: the act or process of resolving: as a : the act of analyzing a complex notion into simpler ones b : the act of answering : solving c : the act of determining
as well as the more traditional New Years application:
a : something that is resolved <made a resolution to mend my ways> b : firmness of resolve
Making a resolution on New Years simply because it is New Years – well, that has no strength behind it, no intention. Hate to break it to you, but that is one resolution that will fail. I like to get a fresh start. Evaluate the old year, and welcome in the new. Clean slate. Clean workspace. Alyson Stanfield encourages her clients and readers to journal their accomplishments, taking time to reflect and appreciate the results of their labors. I scheduled coffee and journal time yesterday for exactly that!
Finished my refelections in the last sketchbook, and started the new, with images, quotes, all matter of inspiration. And goals. This fresh start of a year – planning, scheduling in major shows, exhibits… There is always some carry over of projects that have not yet come to be, transfered from the old journal to the new, moved up on the waiting list of creative endeavors. I find it very informative and interesting to look back on a year’s sketchbook entries, doodles, ideas, jagged scraps of thought that have yet to grow into a full piece of art. And there was coffee, and sleeping dogs, and sun streaming inthe window… Yes!
One of my goals for the year – is to catch up a bit on my reading. There are books from last Christmas, this Christmas, and all points in between. Can one ever have too many books? I think not – but they are to be read, and savored; not piled on shelves. I even make notes in margins – scandalous to some purists, I know, but it is MY book…
Fresh from under the tree: “The Runes of Elfland”by Ari Berk and Brian Froud; and the re-release anniversary edition of “Faeries” by Froud and Alan Lee. These are to be savored. My original copy of Faeries in paperback, very dog-eared is years old. I have had the good fortune to meet and chat with both these men, and they continue to be an inspiration to my life and work.
Two anthologies: Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman and “My mother she killed me, my father he ate me” compiled by Kate Bernheimer. The latter – book club selection at Surlalune Fairy Tales. That will be an interesting discussion!
A.S.Byatt – “The Children’s Book”
David Bajo – “The 351 Books of Irma Acuri”
Paolo Coehlo – “Witch of Portobello”
Bill Willingham – “Peter and Max”
David Mitchell – “Cloud Atlas”
The Celtic resource books… ( Note the coffee splatter on the top book. Thanks Zoey!)
And the last pile of mythic/folklore/essays, etc. There may be a series of ceramic tree tiles awaiting me in the pages of that one book…
Where do I begin? Started “Peter and Max” last night. It is a “Fables” book, set in the contemporary fantasy universe I have grown to love in the graphic novels. Excellent so far. Perhaps the Norse mythology. There are some goddesses I want to read up on – inspiration for new collage works for a show in March.

John Battman *might* be the best Batman we’ve ever seen
Move over, Lego Batman: There’s a new animated Batman winning our hearts. Our new favorite is John Battman, A.K.A. possibly the most realistic Batman ever. We get that the Lego Batman trailer is the best, but TBH, this video gives it a run for its money. Also, the folks at Cyanide and Happiness created it. (They’re the ones who made the existential Gingerbread Man meme that made us LOL this holiday season.)
This animated short is a commercial for a crime-fighting vigilante named — you guessed it — John Battman. The style is what makes the video truly hilarious. It hearkens to the testimonial-filled ads you’d usually see on late night TV.
“Is your city all crimed up all the time? John Battman asks. “Do costumed villains say they’ll explode your mayor if you don’t give them all the money? And already, we can’t stop laughing.
Broots Waymb gives his testimony — as a respected citizen who’s definitely *not* also wearing a catsuit underneath his blazer, he’s totally trustworthy.
Watching the video, it’s easy to realize how bonkers the concept of Batman truly is. From the vigilante aspect, to scaring villains by dressing as a bat, it’s all a bit weird. (Don’t get us wrong, we love Batman — but any superhero seems weird when you really dissect everything about them.)
The video also calls out the elaborate traps villains always seem to set. However, our favorite aspect pokes fun at the Bat Signal itself. Or, as John Battman says, “put a light in a cloud.
We’re low key obsessed with this video. It’s not that we don’t still love Lego Batman; it’s just that John Battman is a different kind of funny. Besides, with the holidays over, we’re glad to have another delightfully weird piece from Cyanide and Happiness to take its place in our hearts. Now pardon us, but we’ve got to figure out how to “put a light in a cloud.”

Instead of opening gifts this Christmas, many of the poorest and most vulnerable will open their eyes to another day enslaved, oppressed and afraid. With close to 2 million children in the commercial sex trade (UNICEF)and nearly 36 million held in slavery around the world (Global Slavery Index), International Justice Mission’s 2014 Holiday Gift Catalog allows individuals to shine a light in the darkest places on earth by giving the gift of rescue from violence and oppression.
From fully funding a sex trafficking rescue operation to sponsoring a lawyer to defend those who have been abused, this Giving Tuesday, IJM is offering more than 100 gift ideas ranging from $25 to $7500, and providing rescue, safety and care for those in need.
“The 2014 IJM Gift Catalog is a meaningful way to embody the true spirit of giving that comes with the holiday season,” says Tina Hudgins, IJM’s Director of Fundraising. “Each gift, no matter how large or small, will provide a critical component to ensuring the safety and dignity of the world’s poorest—and that is something to celebrate.”
“As we begin putting up lights and candles to celebrate the holidays this Christmas season, IJM is challenging revelers to go one step further and consider how we can unite to BE a light to the darkest places in the world,” says Mindy Mizell, IJM’s Global Public Relations Director. “Giving Tuesday is extremely special as it is one day where the world pauses to consider ways we can give back and the holiday gift catalog has more than 100 options that can change lives in just a matter of seconds.”
Some of the most popular gifts in the 2014 IJM Gift Catalog include:
Fight Sex Trafficking: For $30 to $300 IJM will find women and girls being exploited now and get them the safe aftercare they need. This gift helps stop criminals from abusing others and advances IJM’s work with local leaders to prevent sex trafficking long-term.
Fight Slavery: IJM works with local law enforcement to find slaves, bring children and families to safety, and collect evidence against slave owners. A gift of $150 covers a share of a slavery rescue operation, while $4,500 funds an entire rescue operation, which can free dozens or hundreds in a single day.
Defend Vulnerable Widows and Orphans: This gift can protect vulnerable families from violence, win back their stolen property, and ensure their continued safety. For $30 to $300, IJM will help widows get back on their feet to provide for their family and make sure orphans are cared for as they grow up.
In 2013, the Gift Catalog raised more than $400,000 thanks to the many who decided to stand up against the violence and oppression that plagues the most vulnerable. To date, IJM has rescued more than 19,000 people from violence and oppression, and currently protects more than 21 million individuals in nearly 20 communities around the world.
With an estimated 4 billion people still living outside the protection of the law, it remains more important than ever to continue to give one of the most meaningful gifts of all—freedom from violence and oppression.
This Christmas, the best gifts can’t be wrapped.

Given all the talk around the possibility of the next James Bond being a woman, it’s not surprising to have a major studio release a movie about female super spies. Universal Studios tapped Simon Kinberg to direct and co-write The 355, which stars Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain, Academy Award winners Lupita Nyong’o and Penélope Cruz, and Diane Kruger as a rogue group of international spies who must retrieve a dangerous weapon before it falls into the hands of terrorists. While the premise sounds super Bond-ian and that cast is to die for, it’s disappointing to say this film not only insults its massive potential, but comes across more of a spoof than a legitimate entry into a genre whose bar is already decidedly low, with its cliché-ridden script, painfully unimaginative action sequences and overall ridiculousness.
Chastain plays Mace, a CIA agent who has let a cyber-terrorist’s dream weapon slip out of her grasp, so she must go off the grid to get it back. Because she can’t trust anyone from inside the CIA, she must recruit her old MI-6 friend, Khadijah, played by Nyong’o, who is herself out of the game and working as a professor in London. They are joined by Graciela, played by Cruz, who is a Colombian therapist who just happened to be the courier of the aforementioned cyber weapon before it was hijacked. Graciela is not a spy, nor does she even have a clue what she’s doing there, but her friend linked an electronic tracker on the weapon to her before he died, so Mace and Khadijah need her. Meanwhile, while Mace is building her team, a German intelligence agent, Marie Schmidt, played by Kruger, is following Mace, in hopes of securing the weapon herself. The opening action sequences of the film feature Mace and Marie in a chase through a Paris subway tunnel and an up-close-and-personal fistfight before they both realize they want the same thing: keep the weapon out of the bad guys’ hands. So, of course, the four team up to save the world from total annihilation, but not before a little bonding first!
While it is clearly the intention of The 355 to have its characters considered to be just as strong, tough and equal to other cinematic spy heroes that we’ve seen played by men for nearly a millennium, it’s hard to not notice the overt effort that is made to play up the more emotional elements of these characters, making their personal histories and family life key parts of the story. While that’s not necessarily a bad thing, pandering to elements of traditional femininity does end up stunting the overall effect of the escapist entertainment that this genre thrives on. We don’t look to James Bond to be a pillar of moral rectitude and familial obligations, why expect that of a cinematic peer just because she is a woman?
Yes, it is fair to continually compare The 355 to James Bond because it’s clear its filmmakers were incredibly desperate to emulate Bond films. And Mission: Impossible films. And every other successful spy movie ever made. The problem is, that’s that only thing it does. The 355 is not another spy movie, it’s every spy movie. It manages to splice together every possible spy movie cliché and trope into its two-hour running time, including but not limited to a preposterous plot, absolutely unrealistic action sequences, gadgets, a manufactured reason for the beautiful stars to get dressed up in fancy clothes, a scenery-chewing, moustache-twirling villain and hundreds of bullets flying around that only ever seem to hit the bad guys. And that’s not even the worst part.
The worst part of The 355 is its total lack of style. Kinberg, whose only other directing credit is X-Men: Dark Phoenix, shows a complete lack of courage, shooting everything with straightforward, bland visuals and creating paint-by-numbers action sequences. The score by Junkie XL is noticeably distracting and tedious, and the costumes by Stephanie Collie are so on-the-nose that you can’t help but laugh out loud when Chastain’s character shows up at a bazaar in Morocco literally dressed like a female Indiana Jones.
It’s hard to not laugh out loud at some of the cheesy dialogue as well, as lines like “Because we’re spies, asshole” only enhance its spoof-like qualities. If only it were a spoof. The film is so ridiculous and rips off so many ideas, scenes and sequences from other films, it certainly would make it easier to understand.
Its frustrating inability to deliver anything remotely sensical or original is all the more confounding when you see the effort turned in by the four main actresses. Where the rest of the movie falls short, Chastain, Nyong’o, Cruz and Kruger (and Fan Bingbing, who arrives late in the movie as a Chinese spy, natch) truly step up and do all they can to salvage whatever is worthwhile in this film. And certainly what is worthwhile are the performances they turn in, especially Kruger, who is the most comfortable in her character. Chastain, who also co-produced the film, meanders a bit, unable to connect fully with her character, but she commits fully, as does Cruz, who has some nice comic moments that are sorely needed. It is difficult to ever not make full use of Lupita Nyong’o, but she’s not given much room to roam here, even though she makes the most of what she’s given to work with.
If you can overlook the hilariously preposterous action sequences, the spy movie cliches, the convoluted plot, the generic style and the slightly sexist characterizations, there may be something to seek out in The 355’s portrayal of not just one, but four kick-ass female protagonists by talented actresses who work hard to deliver two hours of escapist entertainment. If you can ignore the movie that’s around them, Chastain, Cruz, Nyong’o and Kruger just may make it worth your while. It may not be the next great female spy movie, but it’s a start.
The 355 is now only in theaters from Universal Pictures.

Terrestrial Restoration Action Society Seychelles rehabilitates Pasquière wetland on Praslin
There are rehabilitation and management plans after collecting data on baseline environmental conditions of the marsh, mangrove, degraded shrubland, and bare hills above wetlands on Praslin. (TRASS)
(Seychelles News Agency) - Many opportunities exist for business, leisure, eco-tourism, education, and research at Pasquière on Praslin Island now that three hectares of wetland and two hectares of once-degraded foothill have been rehabilitated.
This is a result of a three-year project undertaken by a Praslin-based not-for-profit organisation, the Terrestrial Restoration Action Society Seychelles (TRASS), under a project funded by the Western Indian Ocean Strategic Action Programme (WIOSAP) of the Nairobi Convention and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
In addition to the rehabilitation work, the organisation now has rehabilitation and management plans for the second most populated island after collecting data on baseline environmental conditions of the marsh, mangrove, degraded shrubland, and bare hills above wetlands on Praslin.
Since June 2020, TRASS has also been able to propagate over 3,500 seedlings, a long-term programme for the monitoring of the site established. In addition, 10 Seychellois volunteers have acquired new knowledge and capacity in habitat rehabilitation techniques and monitoring.

Recently, a representative of WIOSAP was in Seychelles recently to evaluate the impact of the work TRASS undertook under the project. Jared Bosire visited different sites where there has been rehabilitation, as well as the nursery where these plants were produced.
"My expectations have been exceeded. I have been in programme management for a long time at different levels. Thank you for the excellent work. Another aspect is the innovation I see in the project, trying new things that have not been tried, and seeing whether they work. Many of us fear to fail, but we would not have succeeded if we had not tried," said Bosire at a presentation of the project, which will close in June this year.
Elvina Henriette, programme manager at TRASS, said that the organsation is very proud of the achievements and accomplishments under this project, something that could not be done without the dedication of a small group of volunteers, including schoolchildren and different organisations, both private and public.

Pasquière, located at Baie Ste Anne, now presents the local community with the opportunity for a wide range of activities. Henriette added that the work done at Pasquière is one of TRASS's main accomplishments.
"The rehabilitation of Pasquière coastal wetland, forest, and the adjacent degraded hill will provide opportunities to build a nature trail to explore the rehabilitated area considering that it hosts some interesting natural features. This will necessitate the upgrading of the existing walking trail around the wetland, across the river, and uphill to the rehabilitated areas as part of a 'nature experience tour," explained Henriette.
Henriette added this includes boardwalks and weatherproof benches that could be placed in the area to enhance the visitor's experience.
"Clients can enjoy the scenic, and aesthetic beauty of the place as well as bird hides for bird watching could be envisaged. Signboards and information boards can be placed in strategic areas along the trail. Considering that there are several tourism establishments in the vicinity, tour guides could benefit from some extra income through the setup of an extra business," added the conservation biologist.
The attractions of Pasquière, such as La Plaine Hollandaise, the Salazie trail, and the Curieuse Marine National Park, may be used by hotels and other businesses to attract clients to their establishments.
"For instance, some operators already use the presence of the marine park, Curieuse, Vallée de Mai, and other parks to attract clients and keep them on Praslin. Hence clients can increase their length of stay and spend more, thus benefiting different sectors," she said
The area showcases biodiversity as well as friendly alternative livelihoods and sustainable forestry, perfect for research and education. There are also several natural beehives that were found during the rehabilitation.
TRASS and its sister organisation, Gaea Seychelles, had always intended to integrate beekeeping into restoration efforts because bees need plants for their survival, and plants on restoration sites need to be pollinated by the bees for their persistence and proliferation, according to Henriette.
She said that there is the opportunity to install some beehives on the site for beekeeping, which apart from assisting in the restoration efforts, will also provide an alternative income for beekeepers and could also be integrated into the nature trail experience.

Anyone go to the salvage yard and get one of these rear view mirrors with the reading light in them? If so, any pics? I'm thinking of putting one in. I like the Chevy Impala style good size mirror, tiny bright lights.
Did it in my TJ after taking the lights out of the speaker pods and putting in tweeters. I installed LED fexable strips to the back of the pods and tapped them into the existing wireing for the lights then I ran wires thru the roll bar pads and up to the front of the windshield. The mirror was 'donated' by an old chevy. I even cut the harness off so I could unplug the mirror if I wanted too. They even dim just like the factory ones did. I don't remember what wire colors were what but I did trial and error till they worked.
hope this helped a little, if you've ever played with wires this is an easy job.

Early Press-Printing around the World
In ancient history, printing began in 3000 BC, with carved cylinders rolled onto clay, to make art. Then, much later, printing was used for the decoration of cloth. The oldest discovered woodblock printings are old tattered pieces of silk, decorated with flowers stamped in three colors, from 220 BC. In Egypt, the story is similar with the oldest printed cloth dating back to 300 AD.
Printing may have started as an embellishment for clothing, but its usefulness for the written word was discovered soon after. Back in China, Buddhism beliefs that religious teachings and translations should be spread far and wide encouraged the first known printing on paper.
The diamond sutra is the oldest-known book that was printed not by hand but by wood-block printing, around 400 AD. Although a number printing was found from a somewhat earlier period, this book is most significant because it made the large-scale printing of texts a possibility. The written word could thus be shared with a much larger population than before.
In India, as with China, the influence of Buddhism was spurring forward the progress of printing. It was actually a firm religious belief that together, printing and preserving books of scripture was one of the ten most important religious practices.
Meanwhile, in Europe, Christians eventually caught onto the printing idea in the 1200’s. As with other countries, printing began on cloth. However, in Europe, these printings were not decorations but large, elaborate religious images. In the 1400’s, smaller versions of the same prints as well as printed playing cards were available for the masses.
Some controversy remains about the timing of wood-block printing and moveable type, in Europe. Some state that wood-block printing came first and others say it came second as a cheaper solution following the advent of moveable type. In any case, around 1440-1460 the invention of both types of printing had come to fruition. Moveable type became the standard that lasted all the way until the age of computers, with the easy printing we enjoy today.

2022 Vidhan Sabha election Uttar Pradesh
UP Election Results 2022: The counting of votes for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections began in seven phases from February 10 to March 7. Exit polls have predicted that the BJP is ready to return to power for an unprecedented second term.
Uttar Pradesh, where the ruling BJP and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath are keeping an eye on the second term, is set to see the outcome of the country’s most interesting election battle this year. The countdown began at 8 am. Akhilesh Yadav – who faces BJP in the gamut of issues – is the Samajwadi Party’s chief ministerial candidate. Caste dynamics always play a crucial role in UP, while Yadav’s allies represent the leaders of the Jat community and the backward castes.
BJP keeping an eye on the comeback in a state
The Congress and Mayawati’s BSP are also challenging the BJP, keeping an eye on the comeback in a state that sends maximum legislators to parliament. UP election result 2022 sets the tone for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where several opposition leaders are trying to create an anti-BJP arena. The UP Assembly elections were held in seven stages between February 10 and March 7, 2022.
According to early trends, the BJP is ahead of the Socialist Party in Uttar Pradesh. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath from Gorakhpur, Akhilesh Yadav from SP from Karhal, Shivpal Yadav from Jaswant Nagar, and Keshav Prasad from Sirathu are deputy chief ministers. The majority in the 403-member force is 202.
Exit polls have predicted a second consecutive term for the Bharatiya Janata Party and most say it will be less than the party’s calculation when it wins a landslide victory in the 2017 election.
The UP elections are an indicator of the national mood of the 2024 general election. Along with Uttar Pradesh, votes are being counted in four states – Punjab, Goa, Manipur, and Uttarakhand.

Five members of the same Texas family have now been arrested by federal authorities for their participation in the deadly January riot at the Capitol. Those arrested include Thomas and Dawn Munn along with their children Kristi, Joshua, and Kayli, and together, they constitute the largest group of individuals from a single family to be arrested so far in connection to the riot. At least Joshua has already been released from custody ahead of further proceedings. Apparently, a minor in the family was with those who have now been charged by federal authorities, but no action against the minor is apparently being undertaken.
Authorities received information about the Munns’ involvement in the riot from someone with a connection to the family. As summarized by The Washington Post, a “relative of Kristi Munn’s fiance had seen Kristi’s posts on Facebook and Snapchat and provided screenshots to the FBI.” At the Capitol, the Munns entered the building through a broken window, and they apparently left the building — once more by crawling through a broken window — some 52 minutes later. Now, they face charges including disorderly conduct and illegally entering and parading in the Capitol. The counts are misdemeanors.
The Munns are among over 530 Trump supporters who have been criminally charged by federal authorities for participating in the riot. The timings of their arrests — which unfolded just in recent days — reveal just how active that the federal government’s investigation into the violence remains. Meanwhile, Trump has continued to spread the nonsense that originally inspired the riot, claiming without any meaningful evidence to back him up that last year’s presidential election was somehow rigged for Joe Biden. If even a deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol isn’t enough to get certain Republicans to acknowledge the brazen falsity — and danger — of Trump’s rhetoric, then is there anything that could get them to recognize reality?

The ‘criminal’ negligence that’s killing SA's heroin users
The potentially lifesaving legal drug methadone – used to wean heroin users off the narcotic – is just too expensive. And nobody’s doing anything about it
Thousands of South African heroin users who want to kick the habit are unable to do so because the potentially lifesaving legal drug methadone – used to wean heroin users off the narcotic – is just too expensive.
Used in Opioid Substitution Treatments (OST), the drug can only be prescribed by a doctor and cannot be dispensed by state hospitals or rehab centres because it is not recognised as an essential medicine. Many medicals aids do not cover the costs because addiction is not seen as a disease.
Countrywide there are nearly 1,000 people on OST treatment, most within the City of Tshwane which funds a programme that helps 600 people through the University of Pretoria.
A monthly methadone dose costs roughly R980, say narcotics specialists. Other OST drugs, such as suboxone, are almost as expensive. On the streets of Pretoria, the country’s heroin capital according to according to Tshwane’s health MMC, Sakkie du Plooy, a heroin pinch [small bag] costs as little as R30.Academics, researchers and drug treatment experts have labelled the cost of methadone as “criminal”, saying South Africa’s prices are 30 times higher than international prices.
A report by the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime and Interpol, released on July 2, shows South Africa is one of the world’s biggest international heroin transit routes.
The report says over 75,000 South Africans inject heroin daily – the greatest number in Africa.
Researchers, health and drug NGOs, and rehab centres, with the support of the Central Drug Authority and Tshwane’s health administrators, are advocating for OST drugs to be made affordable.
For Yeoville resident Tshephang Maphalla, a heroin addict since 2010, methadone means the difference between life and death. He said heroin saw him lose his family, friends and job.
“I tried rehab several times, but always ended up back using heroin. It’s a killer.”Methadone treatment turned his life around.
“I’m getting a job. Methadone takes away the cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
“If it wasn’t for Anova Health, I don’t know what I would do. I cannot afford methadone and would be back on the streets.”
Drug policy advocate Shaun Shelly, who helped establish methadone pilot programmes in Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and Tshwane, said in South Africa methadone is up to 30 times more expensive than anywhere else.
“We need to make it easier for people to get methadone rather than heroin.”
Shelly said the problem was methadone was not listed on the government’s essential drugs list.
“Methadone can either be used as a short-term detox for heroin or long-term maintenance therapy, which is internationally recognised. In South Africa the maintenance therapy is not recognised.
“The result is prices for methadone cannot be reduced because you cannot get state tender prices. There is just one price and that’s the pharmaceutical price.”Shelly said generic pharmaceutical companies produced much cheaper methadone.
“These are needed here. If it went out to tender the price would drop dramatically. Our price per millilitre is R2. Internationally you pay 6c.”
He said methadone killed cravings which meant people would not inject.
“Exchanging needles and syringes gets users in contact with health services and talking. Talking means education about OST,” said Shelly.
Dr Relebohile Ncha, Anova Health’s OST medical officer, said their programme had positive results.
“The health implications are huge, especially around the reduction of HIV. Among our patients, 46% are HIV-positive, which shows that within the drug injection population there’s high HIV prevalence.”
Ncha said methadone stayed in a person’s system for up to 36 hours.
“That means they are less likely to experience withdrawal symptoms and more likely to be focused and adhere to their HIV treatment programmes.”
David Bayever, chairperson of the Central Drug Agency, which advises the government, said there were multiple reasons for methadone’s high price.
“It’s a Schedule Six drug and tightly regulated. Because it’s a very specific drug for a very specific target audience, it’s not necessarily attractive for others to import it.”He said this could be changed if the government decided to make it more readily available and medical aids reimbursed users who bought it.
Bayever said for some medical aids, addiction treatment was an exclusion because it was not seen as an illness.
“This speaks to why many heroin users don’t go for OST because medical aids don’t pay for it. Medical aids which do pay only pay for short periods, but heroin users require long-term maintenance treatment plans.”
He said by getting these drugs on the essential medicines list, government funding would become available, and hospitals and rehab centres could dispense these drugs, creating a larger and more accessible market.
Du Plooy said not providing users with affordable methadone was “criminal”.
“We are mobilising organisations to advocate government to declare OST drugs essential medicines.
“This is about seeing drug users as human beings. By running needle exchanges you eradicate serious health issues, including the spread of HIV and hepatitis C. We have 4,500 heroin injectors in Tshwane; 43% have HIV. Needle exchange programmes make sense. OST makes sense.”

Facebook affirms commitment to protect users’ information
Social networking site Facebook assured on Friday that they were “committed” to protect its users’ information and that they were engaged with the National Privacy Commission (NPC).
This, after the NPC announced that it has launched an investigation into the social networking site over a data breach involving British political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica.
According to Facebook, data of about 1.2 million Filipinos were among those “improperly shared” by Cambridge Analytica.
“We are strongly committed to protecting people’s information. We are engaged with the Philippine National Privacy Commission on this,” Facebook said in a statement.
The social networking site also assured that it has made “significant updates” to make its privacy tools easier to find, to restrict data access, and to make its terms and data policy “clearer.”
“We believe these changes will better protect people’s information – we know we have more work to do, and we’ll keep our community updated as we make more changes,” it said.
The NPC on Friday said it has sent a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg informing him that it would investigate “whether there is unauthorized processing of personal data of Filipinos, and other possible violations of the Data Privacy Act of 2012.”
“We write with concern as regards your admission that Facebook has been remiss in its duty to protect its users’ personal data. The identification of 1.18 million Filipinos who may have been affected by the Cambridge Analytica is alarming and may be a symptom of a deeper problem that could pose risks to Filipino Facebook users,” the letter read.
“As the Philippine data privacy authority, we are directing you to furnish this Commission with information relevant to the processing of Facebook data of affected Filipinos, and how personal data is generally shared with third parties using your platform,” it added.
