This is an article from May 2014 by CJ Werleman, which appeared on Salon.com, which I think is quite interesting, and some of the observations therein probably apply to African countries more than it applies to the US Education system:-
…There is a defined correlation between literacy, numeracy and technology skills with jobs, rising wages and productivity, good health, and even civic participation and political engagement. Inequality of skills is closely correlated to inequality of income. In short, our education system is not meeting the demands of the new global environment, and the outlook is grim,
But the correlation between a strong public education system and social mobility is demonstrated clearly in the OECD report. A 2006 report by Michael A. McDaniel of Virginia Commonwealth University showed that states with higher estimated collective IQ have greater gross state product, citizens with better health, more effective state governments, and less violent crime. In other words, were we to invest more in public education, we’d be instantly more intelligent, healthy, safe, and financially sound….
But the conclusion sums it up best:
…The principal force for convergence [of wealth] — the diffusion of knowledge — is only partly natural and spontaneous. It also depends in large part on educational policies,” writes Thomas Piketty in his 700-page bestseller Capital in the Twenty-First Century. In other words, if we really want to reduce inequality, and if we really want to be a global leader in the 21st century, we need to invest more into our education system, which requires the federal government to ensure the rich and the mega-corporations pay their share…
First it was a parliament building, then a road to connect Karonga and Chitipa, a five-star hotel, followed by a stadium, and now it seems they will be building an Airport. China is Africa’s new friend and within the last decade, they have made some serious inroads into Africa. The question that interests me looking at all the things China is doing in Africa, and considering they are not a colonialist is this: why didn’t any of the former colonialists build infrastructure comparable to what China is building in Africa today, when back in their own countries, they continued to build structures which no doubt contributed to their economies during the same period? Especially since some of these organisations had large empires which no doubt contributed to their enormous wealth….
Was it because they didn’t think Africa needed its own infrastructure? There was no plan …? Or was it because they had no money?
Anyhow i’ll ponder that another day 🙂
While President Joyce Banda should be commended for pushing through this excellent development (which is exactly the kind of infrastructure Africa needs) since it is true that our airports are outdated and in serious need for improvement, I wonder what she has granted the Chinese in return? What does the deal involve? Is the deal public? Would be interesting to see what is being offered in return…
I prefer to ask (and answer) the above question, that references to the ‘stage’ or ‘point’ (not physical location) when asked ‘Why is Africa not manufacturing?’ . I’ve been asked this question so many times, by people beffudled as to how Africa pretty much fails where everybody else has succeeded. The reason I prefer to answer the above question is because unlike popular belief Africa is in fact manufacturing, just not as much as everyone else, and just not always visibly (you don’t hear these stories on Tv, and they are rarely in the mainstream media publications – unless you read FT – although that’s arguably not mainstream)
Similar to the questions of manufacturing is that of whether the skills for the establishment of a bigger manufacturing sector are readily available for investors to tap into?
I’ll start with the bad news:- If the skills are available on the continent, then as things stand, they are in severe shortage and are not really of African origin. According to research from OECD [see BBC link here], by the end of this decade (emphasis required, that’s by 2020) 4 of every 10 young graduate is going to be either from India or China. Looking at the list of countries listed, not even a single one is an African country. What does that say? Well, a number of things; that we are not producing enough graduates, or that the number of African graduates with skill sets (and of a high calibre) who can compete with their contemporaries from Chinese and Indian universities is comparatively insignificant. Which is worrying, because it essentially means Africa’s manufacturing is nowhere, or only material if driven and held together by non-African effectors.
In the past the Education of Africans has received very little support from those who should know better. Most dictators who took over from the colonialists did too little to maintain the standard and level of Education (or Higher Education) across Africa, focussing instead of consolidating their rule. With a few exceptions, multiparty governments that came after dictatorships followed suit, by not investing anywhere near enough as was necessary. The donors that were bed-fellows with the dictators (and those that came after) arguably weren’t as sympathetic or visionary. According to an ESSA paper (quoted in this paper titled “THE ROLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN AFRICA” by Prof.Dr.Birgit Brock-Utne of the Institute for Educational Research at the University of Oslo) the World Bank once viewed Higher Education in Africa as a luxury:
“To meet minimally acceptable targets for coverage and quality of lower levels of education in most countries, as a general rule the tertiary sub sector’s share of stagnant real public education expenditures cannot expand further, and in some cases may have to contract. Some combination of efficiency improvements, increased private contribution to costs, and constrained growth of – in some countries and fields, outright cutback in – production of graduates must be sought.” (World Bank 1988: 95)
Expenditure on education was merely a self-serving budgetary exercise, and it didn’t matter what the result was, or whether indeed Africa would be ‘left-behind’ as a direct consequence of the under-investment, what mattered was only that money had been saved.
Without research into what their policy position currently is, I wouldn’t be able to tell you whether this view has changed or not.
Investors with the means have been to put it mildly, shy of investing on the continent let alone into skills development. A paper by a researcher named Paul Bennell which addresses the issue of whether structural adjustments programs ( these are those stringent rules imposed on African countries as part of loan agreements from the likes of IMF and World Bank) over a 15 year period have indeed achieved the desired response (i.e. increasing foreign investment in the hope of triggering technology transfer from the industrialized countries to Africa) paints a depressing picture. To quote Bennell (via this link):
Surprisingly, the share of net earnings from UK manufacturing investments in Africa remitted each year to the UK was higher than the global average between 1985 and 1990 . . . While UK companies have been keen to reinvest very sizable proportions of their profits in North America, Europe and Asia, investment opportunities in manufacturing have generally been very limited in Africa and thus, given the option, most parent companies would like to remit the bulk of subsidiary profits from the region
In other words, Africa was where you went to make your money, and not a place to reinvest your profits.
But it isn’t all bad news.
Recently, the African Development Bank’s (AfDB) approved a US$ 45 million grant for the creation of a Pan African University (PAU) that will consist of five Pan African Institutes focussing mainly on science, technology and innovation. The background to the story reads:
Africa has only 35 scientists and engineers per million inhabitants, compared with 168 for Brazil, 2,457 for Europe and 4,103 for the United States. Shortage of skills has been a major constraint to Africa’s progress in science, technology and innovation. Due to low investment in research and development, Africa ranks low in global competitiveness and productivity. African students tend to opt for economics, business, law and social sciences rather than science, engineering and technology, hampering the continent’s competitiveness and growth. The result is a mismatch between skills produced and private sector jobs.
As is well understood universally, innovation is the lifeblood of industry, and without the creation of ground-breaking and new products, a country cannot advance or gain a competitive advantage. It was the case during the industrial revolution, during the rise of countries such as Germany, Russia, Japan and even Brazil. The exception (only to an extent) to this rule appears to be China, but that’s for a whole load of other reasons that distinguish it from the rest of mankind
But as the African Development Bank correctly observed above, in order to create ground-breaking innovations and products, and in order to influence global scientific research and technology, you need a skilled workforce. That’s why the AfDB initiative represents a realignment of Africa’s potential in the right direction.
Across Africa, there are many success stories that are truly inspirational, although as i stated above, these are not shouted about in the mainstream media. One such inspirational story is that of Fabrinox, a south African company manufacturing sheet metal that was formed in 1993, and that has seen turnover in recent years hit US$5.8 million. Asked what had been the best decision he had made to grow his company, the company founder says:
To have followed the advice of my business mentor Johan Beyers to not restrict Fabrinox and its people to one geographical area, product or service, but to take a global view in running the business. For instance, it means that we think globally in terms of our supply chain, and are most willing to service clients beyond the boundaries of the Western Cape province in which we are located, and South Africa for that matter.
In addition to such success stories, there are also many partnerships between foreign manufacturers and agricultural producers across Africa, and some of those partnerships are genuinely beneficial to Africans. Who knows maybe some of these could one day pave way for an African manufacturing industry of its own, if some haven’t began to do so already? After all, manufacturing in industries such as motorcycle build and assembly in China began when after purchasing equipment from Japan, the Chinese assemblers began to modify the Japanese made components; fast forward a couple of decades, and China was making its own motorcycles which essentially were improvements (i.e. “innovations” more or less) of the original Japanese models.
The partnerships article above correctly points out that:
The level of mechanisation in African farming is still very low. Kenya had 25 tractors per 100 square kilometres of arable land in 2009 while Nigeria has almost seven, according to the most recent data from World Bank. That compares with an average of 271 machines in the US.
There are also some manufacturers who are looking towards Africa not because it’s ideal, but because they are getting sick and tired of the happenings in Asia (workplace safety that in recent years has become a major issue, levels of corruption, the increasing fees demanded by some factory owners, etc)
But before anybody gets too excited, look, the Chinese are planning on setting up shop in Africa! (see here and here). Although here one must wonder, does that mean Chinese labour (as they have been known to do in some African countries across the continent) or will these factories use African labour?
As for the power that will drive everything and get every bit of machinery working (in some countries – putting an end to years of intermittent blackouts), that’s about to get much more exciting. At least that’s what Obama seems to be saying.
While you’ll find several references to Infrastructure on this site, I think this time around I’ll leave it to the experts to do the convincing. Paja akulu anati mutu umodzi siwusenza denga…
And if one takes time to browse through the cited references below (some of which are straight off page 1 + 2 of Google), it’s hard to argue against the fact that Infrastructure is one of the essential drivers of economic development. In this sense, and for the avoidance of doubt, infrastructure is not limited to roads, railways, airports and buildings (for hotels, schools, Universities, hospitals, business centres, research facilities, etc), but also includes for example a good telecommunication network (internet, voice, data and the like) and power supply.
Intro reads: ” Good quality infrastructure is a key ingredient for sustainable development. All countries need efficient transport, sanitation, energy and communications systems if they are to prosper and provide a decent standard of living for their populations. Unfortunately, many developing countries possess poor infrastructure, which hampers their growth and ability to trade in the global economy. “
which includes the statement : “…In fact, a recent KPMG International survey found that an overwhelming majority – 90% – of business executives said that the availability and quality of infrastructure affects where they locate their business operations…”
which includes the statement: “… The rapid economic and population growth of Asian economies in recent years has put huge pressure on its existing infrastructure, particularly in transport and energy, but also in communications. Asia’s infrastructure is world-class in parts, but is generally below the global average. This is a bottleneck to future growth, a threat to competitiveness, and an obstacle to poverty reduction.”
which includes the following statement: – “…An adequate infrastructure is a prerequisite to economic development. Transportation and communications are important in developing and strengthening social, political, and commercial ties. These ties must be developed before trade can be handled on a regular basis.”
Why Is Infrastructure Important – David Alan Aschauer, formerly Senior Economist, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, and now (at the date of writing/publication) Elmer W.Campbell Professor of Economics, Bates College
the Intro reads: “Infrastructure – physical resources like roads, telecommunication networks, schools and drains – is necessary for a society to function: people can’t access healthcare if there are no hospitals; trade can’t take place if there are no roads on which to transport goods to markets. Infrastructure facilitates the basic functions of a society that are necessary to transport resources and people, produce and trade goods, provide essential services and ultimately reduce poverty.”
it follows with ” Lack of infrastructure also leads to lack of employment by acting as a disincentive to investment. Companies who struggle to produce and sell goods in an area with inadequate roads, electricity or water supply do not want to set up the factories or businesses that could potentially generate employment, improve living standards and reduce poverty. “
and “Lack of infrastructure can also lead to poor health and high mortality. Where there are no clinics or hospitals available, or where lack of roads or bridges makes them inaccessible, people cannot access the medical services that they require to be healthy and productive. A villager in Mozambique explains “The most dangerous thing is that [cholera] has always appeared during the rainy season, and it is then that the river is in spate and boats cannot cross.”
Intro reads as follows: “Without significant progress in the provision of infrastructure services it will be impossible for many countries to significantly achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Globally, more than 1 billion people have no access to roads, 900 million do not have safe drinking water, 2.3 billion lack reliable sources of energy, 2.5 billion have no sanitation facilities and 4 billion are without modern communication services.”
which contains the paragraph “When it comes to infrastructure development, Thailand has done very well compared with some other Southeast Asian neighbors. In fact, appropriate infrastructure, including access to power and water, has helped Thailand fuel rapid economic growth during the past three decades. Good infrastructure has made Thailand attractive to foreign investment, helped facilitate international trade, and improved the efficiency of everyday business activities. All of these led to more jobs, and more jobs led to more income for the poor. For some not-so-poor people, good infrastructure also helps them improve productivity or fulfill their lifestyles.”
Abstract reads: “Infrastructure development has a key role to play in both economic growth and poverty reduction. Failure to accelerate investments in rural infrastructure will make a mockery of efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals in poor developing countries while at the same time severely limit opportunities for these countries to benefit from trade liberalisation, international capital markets and other potential benefits offered by globalisation”
which contains the statement “…No, the key benefit and reason for transportation investment is from helping to make businesses and individuals more productive, across the geographic landscape. We rely on our transportation investments to increase the economy’s overall productivity – both in terms of making individual travel (business and personal) faster and more reliable, and in terms of the productivity benefits of making freight flows faster and more reliable…”
As you can see, the above papers + articles present a credible argument that a good and functional infrastructure is essential for economic development.
But that’s not to say that there are no credible counter arguments against infrastructure. That’s not what I’m saying. I’m sure one can cite the prevention of deforestation or preservation of natural habitats as factors against excessive infrastructure. Also, there is the issue of encouraging tourism which could probably mean encouraging greater biodiversity, creating / preserving forests and wildlife reserves (but even in such circumstances, you still need a world-class airport for a good first impression (the kind of impression you get when you first land at Hong Kong International); functional roads (at least 3 lanes on each side between major cities) that minimises journey times; and world-class hotels and resorts. Why should you give tourists (who in large numbers can be the source of much-needed forex revenue) less than what they are accustomed to, and expect that they will return to your country, or recommend a visit to their friends?). Never mind recommendation, how can you compete on the global stage, when your facilities are substandard? Further, why shouldn’t it be possible to build modern factories with reduced carbon footprint (see Marks & Spencer’s ‘eco-factories’ initiative here) side by side with wildlife/forest reserves?
So, considering all this, I find it hard to imagine a credible setting in which arguments against infrastructure may find pre-eminence, over arguments for infrastructure; especially for a poor country whose majority infrastructure was built 50-year ago; whose roads are littered with pot-holes, with virtually no world-class business centres; that has old airports – with poor facilities including smelly badly looked after toilets; a country that experiences intermittent blackouts almost every week; that is struggling to attract significant investment from abroad; a country where 74% of the population live below the poverty line; which is heavily reliant on agriculture and dwindling tobacco exports + has negligible industrial output; has few natural resources; has a large relatively unskilled young population and suffers widespread corruption and cronyism, even in the upper echelons of its government.
My question to you then is: why are the leaders of such countries not investing heavily (sooner than later) into major infrastructure projects, when it is in fact a determinant factor in economic development and a serious game changer? Is it because they are in fact not cut out for the job and would be better followers instead of leaders?
My next guest is a good friend and a brother who I have known for many years. Based in London, he is a true son of Malawi, and someone who I genuinely believe has a bright future ahead of him. Yet it was only recently that I discovered just how much passion and ‘fire’ he has for Africa. Mr James Woods-Nkhutabasa, thanks for doing the Global 100 Voices Interview!
[ Brief profile: James has several years’ of communications experience working for public and private organisations, in promoting achievement in African leadership, issues concerning global governance and development. He is also one of the founding members of Diaspora Capital LLP (dCAP), a members investment club which seeks to make socially impactful investments in Africa ]
As a Malawian, how important is Malawi’s Socio-Economic stability to you and your family?
I believe a socio-economic stable environment is beneficial not only for the nation only provided government can create an arena of good governance, accountability, transparency and no corruption. This is also attractive for investors.
After nearly 50 years since independence, what visible progress do you think Malawi has made since independence?
The visible progress for me is that Malawi is now a democratic nation, people have more access to goods and are also more connected due to the digital revolution. On the downside Malawi is still fighting the goals set at independence and poverty levels remain high. We still have a long way to go. Maybe regional integration is key to addressing this weakness through the delivery of wider social and economic benefits that would benefit the country and drive its development further. We need to stop thinking of Malawi as a single unit but think of it as a major part of the remaining 53 nations on the continent. Only then will we sing our success story. But we need to get our house in order first.
3. In your view, what pressing challenges remain and what should Malawi aspire towards?
Malawi, similarly to other African countries is facing major corruption issues and a lack of good governance. Our parliament is also filled with recycled politicians – what I aptly name – ‘The Kamuzu/Muluzi Giants’. It seems to me that our politicians change allegiances as much as they change suits. The political world, leading a nation, serving your people should be a vocation or ‘a calling’ but not a pension, as it currently seems to be for some.
Malawi should aim to be a success story in good governance.
In view of those challenges, what do you think is the role of government in tackling those challenges?
Create an environment of patriotism, transparency and competence. The government needs to remember that they are there to serve their people: men, women and children and thus to run the country accordingly as it is their responsibility. We need strong leadership and this can be achieved collectively, through government and civil society. Malawi needs an enlightened and dedicated sort of leadership that looks forward and not backward. Most importantly get the right sort of people involved in government.
As someone who has lived outside Malawi for several years and hopefully been exposed to modern and progressive ideas, what things in your country of residence have had the greatest impact on you, and why?
The competitive work ethic and drive that people have in London is absolutely brilliant. People have the desire and resilience to achieve the best possible outcome. This has taught me to continuously improve to keep up with this ‘rat race’ and be able to be significant in the growth and development of the nation.
What lessons do you think Malawians and the Malawian leadership can learn from those ideas?
Malawi has extremely bright individuals who can contribute great things for the nation. The leadership needs to promote an open society – welcoming of all and not based on ethnicity, tribe or social standing, but instead on what you can offer to drive forward development.
If you have recently visited Malawi, what struck you most as the greatest sign of improvement or development?
The amount of women and youth trying to make a living through a business; truly inspiring to see the entrepreneurial spirit and a can-do attitude, be it selling vegetables on the side of the road to managing small wholesalers. It is really amazing at how they have adopted technology such as the use of mobile phones to sell and place orders. This has inspired me.
What struck you most as the biggest sign of stagnation or regression?
I believe the lack of good educational standards and opportunities have really been under-played. Youth are the future of Malawi, the leaders of tomorrow; they are being frustrated by the lack of opportunities and a lack good of education. These youth can be a curse or a blessing and rather sadly it has been a curse on the nation with increased criminal activity. If we do not invest in the youth and create jobs how are we to have a good future? Without the right investment we will continue to face the same problems of corruption, poor leadership and bad governance.
Malawians will be going to the polls in 2014, to elect a president. In your view what kind of leader does Malawi NEED, considering the country’s current challenges?
I think we need a bit of the positive characteristics that our past and present leaders have shown but most importantly we need a leader who has an entrepreneurial spirit, a socio-entrepreneurial impactful spirit. We as African’s are natural-born entrepreneurs…we need a leader who will use an entrepreneurial approach to create sustainable development and leadership in so doing promoting a culture of hard-working, ambitious young people to drive forward development. A leader who has innovative ideas and simply not just focussing on what has been done, but looking at what can be done. We need a leader who will deal with disparities in wealth that exist between the poor, the middle class and the rich. High on their specification will be better business and financial acumen, infrastructure, education, employment and better health services.
Specifically, how should that leader approach the top job in terms of sustainable development and reducing aid dependency?
I believe aid is still vital to Malawi for the next few years at least, but our president needs to really focus on the fruit of a stronger regional economic integration across the continent; and build economies of scale to enable Malawi and Africa to better compete in the global economy. Malawi seems to be attracting a lot of investors to the vast minerals in the country ranging from bauxite, gold, limestone (marble), monazite, niobium and uranium…then we’ve got oil and agriculture. The key aspect to ensuring the leadership moves away from aid dependency is to create a strong and efficient financial system that could support high levels of investment…also the need to eliminate the tax breaks these foreign investors have in the country as we are losing millions of US dollars annually.
Malawi can have a wonderful future. By strengthening its financial and legal systems respectively, and focusing on regional integration, Malawi has the potential to become one of Africa’s fastest growing economy by the end of this decade provided that political stability, social protection, quality education, private sector and good governance are implemented.
Looking at the problems that have plagued the tobacco industry – which is our biggest source of export revenue– in recent times, what alternatives do you think Malawi has besides Tobacco, and why are they viable alternatives?
There is a major problem by relying on tobacco. Let us look at the bigger picture – tobacco farming is a major employer in Malawi where it employs 70% of the nations workforce – in terms of providing a living to the population it plays a big part.
The country does need to diversify and not only focus on tobacco as the international controls on tobacco are surely having or going to have an effect on the economy.
I think a strong emphasis should remain on agriculture produce such as tea, coffee, macadamia nuts, groundnuts, sugar, cotton, soya and timber. The potential for agribusiness is there but we need the right mentality in promoting good practice to increase efficiency and bring in investment and expertise to help scale up production but also go into agroprocessing, where higher prices for commodities can be achieved.
Infrastructure development is vital for Malawi’s economy to flourish. There is a need for better roads, airports and aviation, rail, ICT, water and sanitation.
Stronger focus on the extractive industries and corporate realisation of Malawi’s objectives in oil found in Lake Malawi. Mining currently accounts for only around 2% of GDP, with tobacco, sugar and tea remaining the main exports by value, but we all know the short and long-term potential of the mining industry if we play our cards right.
Tourism is another sector to focus on. This would bring the needed foreign exchange and foreign direct investment and importantly raise the profile of the nation as truly ‘the warm heart of Africa’. I do not know if you are aware but Malawi was recently crowned runners up in the 2012 Safari Awards “Best Africa Tourist Board” beaten by Kenya. This is definitely an important space.
12. Considering our troubled history with donors and funders such as the IMF and World Bank, how do you see Malawi progressing from this relationship in view of the criticisms these organisations have received in the media across the world?
Malawi, is still too fragile to sustain herself – as mentioned earlier I believe once the powers that be start developing the nation, attracting more investors and regional integration is in place Malawi will be on the right path to stand with the rest of Africa as partners and not rely on these international bodies.
13.How do you think the government is doing regarding managing Malawi’s natural resources?
Problems are there, such as issues to do with mining legislation. The main legislation governing mining is the Mines and Minerals Act 1981.
The Mines and Minerals Act 1981 states that companies operating in Malawi need to employ and train local staff but this is left at the discretion of the company, thus local workforce are often found to be losing out. There is lack of regulation, think of the people who are displaced by the mining companies? There is no protection for these people – regulatory framework for resettlement only requires compensation to be given for land, livestock etc…but nothing is in place to give those people back land of same quality. Most people living in villages where these mines are based do not own the land through purchase but through living there for generations thus when the mining companies come, these people are evicted and not titled to any compensation. Most importantly there is a lack of transparency – mining companies are not revealing their profits in line with expenditure and taxes. The mining companies are not required by Malawi government to reveal their spending in Malawi.
14. Can the government do better to manage natural resources? If so how?
Government needs to address the points I’ve just raised and ensure something is done to curb this behaviour of secrecy. They need to tighten legislation, this will be achieved by revising the Mines and Mineral Act 1981 – I understand that this is being done.
15. What is your answer to increasing transparency and eradicating corruption which is plaguing most governments across Africa?
African governments need to be accountable to their citizens. The responsibility for dealing with corruption and transparency falls equally on all parties from governments and donors, to civil society and citizens. We all have to fight to ensure we can develop better leadership with the tools of good governance.
We have to remember, when we the people have information; we have the power to hold our leaders and governments accountable to improve the systems, tackle corruption and have transparency.
16. Any famous last words?
Let’s continue driving our country and continent forward. In the words of Kwame Nkrumah ‘’We face neither East nor West: we face forward’’.

By Michael H. Cottman, BlackAmericaWeb.com
“They took our flag, so be it. They’re taking our heritage from us. They’re taking the freedom out of America.”—William Bader, an imperial wizard of the KKK.
Hatred hit the streets of Columbia, South Carolina over the weekend as members of the Ku Klux Klan yelled racial slurs to protest the removal of the Confederate flag on the statehouse grounds.
It was an ugly scene that underscored the deep racial divide in South Carolina, where white and Black residents live within miles of each other but are worlds apart when it comes to issues of race, immigration, and multi-cultural understanding.
The incendiary rhetoric by the KKK reminds us that racism still permeates our society and while many intelligent, well-meaning Americans — both Black and white –live together harmoniously, there are still white supremacists who are raising a new generation of young racists.
William Bader, a member of the KKK who attended the rally in Columbia, told reporters that he’s tired of having his freedoms infringed on by African-Americans and liberal lawmakers. He also told the media that some KKK members wanted to demonstrate last weekend by burning a church while dressed in the KKK’s signature white hoods.
During the rally, members of the KKK shouted racist epithets at Black Educators for Justice, a group of Black counter-protestors and white supremacist Steven Johnson, who waved a Nazi flag during the protest, told journalists that he’s worried about the state of America simply because of African-Americans.
“The Blacks have been out here attacking people, stealing people’s property, taking their flags,” Johnson told reporters. “I’m scared of what my family’s about to grow up with.”
The KKK demonstrators talked about how their freedoms are being violated and they desperately want to “take back” their country. But from whom? Who exactly is highjacking their country and how?
Last week, South Carolina lawmakers made history by voting to remove the Confederate flag in the statehouse grounds. It was the right decision and long overdue.
Many Southern whites believe the Confederate flag stands for the fight for “state’s rights,” and pays tribute to Southern history. But in reality, the flag is a longstanding symbol for racism since the Confederate states seceded from the Union to fight a Civil War based on whether or not slavery would remain in place. And what an archaic symbol: flying a battle flag on state property to remind Americans that rebel soldiers loyal to Robert E. Lee lost the war? It’s past time to move on.
The heated debate over the Confederate flag intensified after Dylann Roof, a self-proclaimed white supremacist, shot and killed nine Black parishioners inside Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina while they were holding an evening prayer service.
The removal of the Confederate flag in Columbia was a noble act by lawmakers and a largely symbolic gesture that, unfortunately, will not change some racist attitudes.
The KKK rally was a stark reminder that racist mindsets can be everlasting and white supremacists like Bader and Johnson, will never accept the fact that multiculturalism is the new normal and America is becoming Blacker and browner. By census projections, whites will no longer be the majority just a few decades from now.
The KKK doesn’t want to hear that. I believe the removal of the flag will actually exacerbate existing racial tensions in South Carolina and across the country, particularly when ignorant people like Donald Trump, a 2016 presidential candidate, calls Mexican immigrants “rapists,” giving hate groups like the KKK a heightened sense of purpose and legitimizing their racist rhetoric.
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley asked South Carolina residents to stay away from the rally so the KKK wouldn’t draw any more attention.
“Our family hopes the people of South Carolina will join us in staying away from the disruptive, hateful spectacle members of the Ku Klux Klan hope to create over the weekend and instead focus on what brings us together,” she said. “We want to make the Statehouse a lonely place for them.”
I disagree with Haley. Black residents correctly showed up in Columbia to protest the racist protestors. I don’t think we can afford to ignore racism, Silence has never spurred social change.

Just curious why people think Hygard is priced too high, seems to me it is quite reasonable when you compare it to stuff like Mobil 1 engine oil. I bought 16 litres of it at 4 something a litre and I paid just abt abt 42 bux + txs etc for 4.4 liters of Mobil 1 for my truck and I need 7 liters for it every 2 months. And how long does it take to put 200 hrs on a Deere to have it require a transaxle oil change. We have 39.1 hrs on our 2320 since last sept.
I bought a 5 gallon bucket of Hygard not long ago at my local JD dealer, it was $87.00. When I go to my hometown the same product there is 43.00 at that JD dealer.
I would think CAT and Komatsu and Case use a quality hydraulic fluid too, I wonder how it compares with Hygard?
I feel certain that Deere doesn't make Hygard. One of the petro companies probably does and probably offers the same product under a different name with the same specs.
Also, I am usually working when the JD dealer is open, i can't always take off from work and drive across town hauling all of my equipment and 3-4 guys with me that are on the clock. if i can find the same product at Advance or NAPA I can probably stop by on the weekend to buy it without burning 30 dollars in labor and losing $$$ from pulling my gear and guys off site.
How long does it take to put 200 hours on a machine? For me that takes about 6-7 weeks. I total about 1300-1400 for the year cumalitive on my machines.
Someone mentioned the Type F trans fluid, that is what Deere used to put in 420s back in the day, or at least that is what my hometown dealer told me. One of my 420s still has it as you can see the red fluid in the sight tube. I bought that machine with 743 hours on it, today it has 1300 plus and I have never changed it, or any of the other 420's and 455s that i own.

GENERAL GALIC DENIES RESPONSIBILITY FOR MARKALE 1
On 5 February 1995, a shell killed 66 and wounded more than 140 persons in the Markale market in Sarajevo. The judgment sentencing General Stanislav Galic to life in prison established beyond reasonable doubt that the shell was fired from the Sarajevo-Romanija Corps positions. In his evidence in Karadzic’s defense, Galic denied the responsibility arguing there was ‘something abnormal’ in that finding
Radovan Karadzic wants to prove that the image of the Bosnian Serb artillery and sniper terror against the Sarajevo citizens was the result of ‘tricks and set-ups’ of the BH Army. According to Karadzic, the BH Army caused incidents and then blamed the Serb side while the international observers and the media fell for the trick. The accused wants to correct the distorted picture through the testimony of the former Sarajevo-Romanija Corps commander, denying that the Serb side was responsible for the attacks on the Sarajevo civilians.
The worst incident during the witness’s tenure as the corps commander was the shelling of the Markale market on 5 February 1994, known as the Markale 1 incident. A mortar shell killed 66 and wounded more than 140 persons. General Galic denied that his troops were responsible for the attack, saying that he didn’t and wouldn’t ever have ordered something like that. Galic claimed that ’10 NATO commissions’ (he probably meant the investigations led by international observers in the city) weren’t able to establish where the shell had been fired from. Karadzic asked Galic if it was possible for a single shell to hurt 200 persons in an ‘empty market on a winter afternoon’. Galic replied that ‘certainly there should have been fewer people’ in the market. As he said, it was ‘the only 120-mm shell in the world that inflicted such casualties’.
Galic was keen to know where the shell fragments had gone. Only the shell’s tail fin was recovered after the explosion, Galic said. In his opinion, this is an indication ‘that something was not right’. He claims he had other elements that show there was ‘something abnormal’ in the findings. The judgment sentencing Galic to life in prison concluded based on the testimonies of the witnesses, UN investigators, local investigators and expert reports that the shell that hit Markale had been fired from the Serb positions.
Today the witness denied the Bosnian Serb army’s responsibility for other major mortar incidents that occurred between September 1992 and August 1994, while he was the corps commander. The first incident was the attack on about 200 persons attending a football match in Dobrinja on 1 June 1993. More than 10 persons were killed and about 100 were wounded in the attack. Galic said that a shelter used by the BH Army was located there: it was a legitimate target, but he nevertheless denied the Bosnian Serb responsibility for the attack. To corroborate his claims, he said that none of the reports he received said nothing about the attack on civilians in Dobrinja. Also, Galic criticized the ‘Muslim side’ for allowing the gathering of so many people at a place that was mere 150 meters from the front line. Karadzic presented a report of the BH Army Igman Operational Group. The report didn’t mention that civilians were attacked in Dobrinja on 1 June 1993. In response to the presiding judge’s question the witness agreed that the location of the incident wasn’t in the area of responsibility of that operational group.
Galic also claimed that he didn’t order the attacks on civilians in the water queue on 12 July 1993 and wasn’t informed about them. According to the indictment, 13 persons were killed and 14 were wounded in the incident. Galic also denied he was responsible for the deaths of six children who were out playing on 11 January 1994 in Alipasino Polje and for the killing of eight and wounding of 18 civilians in the humanitarian aid queue in Oslobodilaca Sarajeva Street. The incident happened the day before the attack on Markale. ‘Only an enemy of the Serb nation and of the Sarajevo-Romanija Corps’ could be responsible for such incidents, Galic argued, in a bid to blame the BH Army. Galic said that the BH Army attacked UNPROFOR soldiers in the city, again to blame the attacks on the Serbs. This was part of their campaign to force NATO into intervening.
General Galic continues his evidence on Monday.

Building and maintaining friendships can prove difficult for teenagers diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Basic social cues are often lost in translation. National Friendship Day is a time to shed light on the ways in which autistic children and teenagers can develop communication skills and build healthy relationships.
In 2009, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) conducted communication and socializing classes for autistic teenagers and measured the results. These classes, called Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS), armed teenagers with social skills through role-playing exercises and setting goals outside of class. Parents of participants were required to take different classes at the same time as a means of empowering them to help their children implement what they learned in PEERS classes. The study found that these classes helped teens improve their overall communication skills and social interactions with peers (Wheeler, 2009).
Elizabeth Laugeson, UCLA clinical director of psychiatry, notes how important PEERS classes and similar educational tools can be for children with autism. She explains, “It’s hard enough to be a teenager, but it’s harder still for adolescents with autism because they typically lack the ability to pick up on all the social cues most of us take for granted, [such as] things like body language, hand gestures and facial expressions, along with speech inflections like warmth, sarcasm or hostility.” These social problems do not dissipate over time, as Laugeson continues, “Lack of these basic social skills may lead to rejection, isolation or bullying from their peers. And sadly, that isolation can carry into their adult life.”
The Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders, located in Santa Ana, California, is hosting arts and crafts classes through the end of August for children diagnosed with autism or alternative neurodevelopmental conditions, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Down syndrome. These classes help students express themselves creatively while forming a community. Jennifer Smith, the center’s senior director of development, states, “We want families to know that our center is a safe environment for their children. They can come in and know that their child is going to be welcomed with open arms.” (Moreno, 2015)
Specialists recommend that high-functioning autistic children be placed in mainstream schools and social settings, as opposed to specialized facilities. Individuals with autism typically mirror behaviors of those around them, meaning that they often replicate “normal” social interactions and relationships when surrounded by them. It is also advised that peers and friends be told that the individual has autism, since children are naturally curious and typically eager to learn more about the disorder (Woliver, 2010).
If you or your child is struggling bullying or any mental health issues related to a neurodevelopmental disorder, help is available. Call the 24/7 California Mental Health Helpline at 855-559-3923 to speak with a professional and be connected with a facility in your area.

What goes round, comes round.
Discipline is beneficial to both man and wife.
In a DD relationship, the two partners have agreed to a power exchange.
One is the leader of the house and the other is the submissive.
But not only does the submissive have to work on changing her behavior, so does the HoH.
We made a list of things we both would work on to make our relationship better and more loving.
I have many things I have to work on and change for us to have a happy home.
My Jack doesn't have many at all - but he does have anger issues which he is working on.
What helps him the most is when he disciplines me.
How, you ask?
Imagine the following.
I might say something that Jack misunderstands. Instead of asking me for an explanation,
he gets angry and yells at me.
I yell back that he is not listening to what I say!
He then tells me to be quiet, which I don't, because I know this is a case of misunderstanding.
Later, when Daddy Jack has had time to think - he discovers the error, he apologizes and I forgive him immediately, because that is what we agreed upon.
But that doesn't change the fact that he needs to spank me for being disobedient (yelling back at him) and being disrespectful (by turning my back and slamming the door)
Knowing he has to discipline me upsets him, because he has to spank me for a dilemma that he put me in.
If this helps him become more aware of his anger issues, then I am more than happy to be disciplined.
He is my husband, my HoH, my love, my leader - he comes first.
So we both benefit from discipline - in each our own ways.
He learns that his actions have consequences for the both of us.
That is the beauty of Domestic Discipline.

In September 2021, the decapitated body of Tapiwa Makore, a seven year old boy from Nyamutumbu village in Murehwa was laid to rest, a year after he had been gruesomely murdered.
His head was missing and hasn’t been found until today.
A day after his disappearance, the minor’s torso was found being mauled by dogs whilst his hands and legs were later found dumped in a disused blair toilet in the village.
Yesterday, two prime suspects in the boy’s murder, Tafadzwa Shamba and Tapiwa Makore Snr were found guilty of killing him, in case of ritual murder.
A judgment delivered by Justice Munamato Mutevedzi found Shamba guilty of murdering the boy while Makore Snr was convicted of as an accomplice to the murder of the boy.
According to Shamba’s confession, the boy was drugged, killed and mutilated so that they could sell his body parts to a witch doctor for US$1 500 as well as boost their cabbage business.
Justice Munamato Mutevedzi chastised the two for preying on the child “like butchers on a slaughtered beast.”
Tapiwa Mokore’s case is one of many child murders that have sparked a larger national conversation about child safety in Zimbabwe.
Child murders in Zimbabwe
Just like any other African country, reports of child murders linked to ritual killings have become the order of the day in Zimbabwe and this has tainted the reputation of the country which used to be regarded as one of the safest and most peaceful places on the continent.
Over the years, countless children have gone missing and some found dead in isolated places with their bodies dismembered.
On the 4th of December, 2020, eight year old Trevor Mpxashike from Masocha Village under chief Zimuto was murdered by his uncle Clever Chitiga who after allegedly beheading him, shaved his head in hot water and pounded it using a hoe handle and pestle before boiling the result in a cooking pot, preparing it for consumption.
He went on to dump the rest of the body in a nearby dam after wrapping it with a mosquito net.
The gruesome murder happened when the boy, who was in Grade 2 at Matova Primary School had sought shelter from heavy rains at Chitiga’s home.
Four months later, seven year old Dylan and his cousin Melissa Benza from Sambaza Village in Nyanga were also murdered for suspected ritual purposes. The two cousins went missing in April 2021 on their way from school and their bodies were found in an abandoned house in the village, along the road children in the area use every day to walk to school, with deep cuts on their necks.
Two man who live in the village were arrested in connection to the murder of the Benza children are held in custody pending trial.
On the 22nd of September 2022, the body of a six year old Early Childhood Development (ECD)pupil, Zvikomborero Gumedhe from Mabwematema under Chief Hwedza in Zvishavane was found in the Mabwematema mountains with no clothes on, two days after she had gone missing whilst on her way back from school.
Cultural beliefs and Ritual Killings of Children in Zimbabwe
In Sub-Saharan Africa, witchcraft and ritual killings have a strong cultural and societal presence with a significant impact on the lives of many people as they are seen manifesting themselves in horrible acts like child murders.
Some witch-doctors and traditional healers have long promoted the idea that the blood of young children is pure and can bring good fortune and luck and that body parts may be used in rituals intended to create wealth.
“Many people are being deceived by traditional leaders into believing that spilling blood of innocence children is a good luck charm that guarantees them wealth that is beyond comprehension,” George Kandiero, president of the Zimbabwe National Traditional Healers Association (ZINATHA) told She Corresponds Africa.
Kandiero added that their organization does not condone such evil practices.
“We are against the use of children’s or any human’s body parts as a remedy for whatever ailment or situation. If any of our members is found guilty of such, their membership will be revoked and they will be prosecuted,” he said.
Communities agony over the needless death of children
One of the legislators who has been vocal on issues affecting children in the 9th parliament is Trevor Saruwaka, MP for Mutare Central. In September 2022, he demanded the Minister of Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage, Kazembe Kazembe appear before parliament to answer on why many cases involving child murders were not being solved with the police.
In a recent interview with She Corresponds Africa, Saruwaka said various communities in Zimbabwe were in turmoil due to countless cases of child murders that in recent years have taken the country by storm.
“I am aware that Zimbabweans are concerned about the needless loss of young lives that has been happening over the recent years due to ritualistic murders.
As a member of parliament, I was hoping that these cases are concluded swiftly since it appeared that for most of them, evidence was pointing towards the suspects but time has elapsed and nothing tangible has been done to apprehend the criminals.
It is sad to know that those who were arrested as suspects have been let off the hook.
On top of that, we have the biggest challenge of having a country populated by fake prophets and traditional leaders. Where are they when the nation needs them the most?
If possible I would also want to suggest that the judiciary system, consider an eye for an eye, especially for those convicted of murder as a nation we are hoping that the Minister of Home Affairs will uphold the commitment he made before parliament last year to address these issues swiflty so that the society can be at ease especially the families that have suffered such losses,” said Saruwaka.
National Police Spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Inspector Paul Nyathi told She Corresponds Africa that several cases regarding child murders have been reported over the years and the numbers are so worrying but as the police they are still conducting the investigations to bring criminals to book.
“For example, the Tapiwa Makore case is before the courts, the Benza children case is also before the courts, a case of a child that was murdered in Masvingo with her body parts kept in a pot among others are also before the courts,” said Assistant Commissioner Nyathi.
“As the police, we are now on high alert, and for all reported cases most of them are still under investigation since suspects have been arrested.
“However, it is worrying that nowadays several allegations are being made regarding child murders where people talk about rituals and others talk about getting rich quickly and sadly others would be setting scores by killing one’s child.
“Therefore, there is a need for society to restrain and recognize child rights. As the police, we are getting child murders more often these days. Since 2022 the number of reported cases surpassed 10 which I believe is too much,” said Assistant Commissioner Inspector Nyathi.
“As the police we are urging communities to protect children in the best way they can and should avoid being hoodwinked by n’angas (traditional healers) who encourage rituals for people to get fortunes,” he added.

Offutt Air Force Base, which is just a few miles from Omaha Nebraska, has been the subject of protest since the 1970’s according to this speaker from the peace rally at Offutt Air Force Base in April of 2008. Offutt Air Force Base was in the middle of the arms race that was part of the Cold War at that time. Much has changed since then. Offutt Air Force Base is now involved in weapons of mass destruction that include space and thermonuclear war. According to the speaker from the peace rally, it is now even more dangerous. Offutt Air Force Base is the headquarters of Stratcom which is involved with global command and control and global strike. This includes space operations and missile defense.
There have been many arrests when protesters have stepped onto Offutt Air Force Base’s land. They have ended up in jail for up to 6 months. This has occurred time after time over the years. I live in Omaha Nebraska and when I look at Offutt Air Force Base, I know where the weapons of mass destruction are that can be used in the case of war. They are in Omaha Nebraska’s back yard. Just the words that mention what Offutt Air Force Base is about send shivers up my spine. Space and global strike operations and integrated missile defense. These are about weapons that could be sent to Iraq, Iran, or North Korea.
In the early days of protest these weapons of mass destruction could have been sent to the U.S.S.R. If there ever is another attack on United States soil, I believe that Omaha Nebraska will be one of the targets due to Offutt Air Force Base and Stratcom. This is why there have been protests and this is why there has been arresting of protestors to attempt to deter them. This has taken place in December during the Feast of the Holy Innocents. Members of the Catholic Church are heavily involved in these protests at Offutt Air Force Base.
Even though I have grown up in Omaha Nebraska, I didn’t realize how much protesting has gone on at Offutt Air Force Base. It has appeared to be an open secret for many years. Perhaps the numbers have been smaller than other areas in the country but they have been continuous. There were about 100 protesters in April of 2008. I imagine that there will be protesting, here, in Omaha Nebraska as long as there is such grave concern about thermonuclear war. There is also worry about what can occur when outer space is used in war time. This can effect anywhere in the world. The Cold War is over but war appears to continue on.

So maybe you've heard of corn.
Never NOT yellow.
HOW LAME AND STUPID.
BUT WAIT. THERE'S SOMETHING SPECTACULAR THAT YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT.
It's colored corn.
And they are called "Glass Gem" corn.
And it comes in EMERALD!
AND FOGGY COLORS!
And blue pastels.
And pink pastels!
And lavenders and violets!
And multicolored pieces of heaven!
And the kernels look like pieces of beach glass rounded and snuggled into bed.
And they are vibrant and wonderful and I just want to carry them around with me and show everyone the amazing corn.
The corn, called Glass Gem corn, is grown by Carl Barnes, a Cherokee rare corn farmer and Native American corn expert. Here you can learn about the growth of the corn. And you can purchase the seeds here!
And you CAN eat it, from the Facebook page:
"Grower Michael Mills recently steamed and enjoyed some of his fresh Glass Gem ears. His review: "It was interesting - definitely not sweet, but not bad. Chewy though."
So it might not taste amazing, but whatever, it looks PRETTY!

Pentagon officials are considering new restrictions on service members’ interactions with far-right groups, part of the military’s reckoning with extremism, but the measures could trigger legal challenges from critics who say they would violate First Amendment rights.
Austin, who has pledged zero tolerance for extremism, ordered the review after the events of Jan. 6, when rioters including a few dozen veterans — and a handful of current service members — stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn the presidential election results.
A newly formed extremism task force, which includes officials from across the Defense Department, has until July to make recommendations on potential changes to military justice, rules on extremism and related issues that apply to uniformed military personnel, the Coast Guard and Defense Department civilians.
One step the task force is examining would alter a regulation that prohibits troops’ “active” participation in extremist organizations — activities such as fundraising, attending rallies and distributing propaganda — but permits what officials have called “passive” membership, which could include being admitted to groups or possessing their literature.
Officials said Austin, a retired Army general whom President Biden appointed as the country’s first African American head of the Pentagon, intends to ensure that the basic rights of military personnel are preserved.
“But keep in mind that we have also taken oaths, and we also have a set of values that we as a military and we as a department espouse,” a senior defense official said. “And if that speech isn’t in line with our values, then it makes it arguably impossible for that individual to be a good teammate and to be in line with the good order and discipline of units.”
Current and former officials say that Pentagon lawyers, also part of the task force, are likely to take a cautious approach in considering new restrictions on service members’ First Amendment rights, especially in an area of the law that many experts characterize as untested.
“That’s why this is challenging,” one former senior Pentagon official said. “It’s not just that it’s about constitutional rights. It’s that constitutional scholars don’t always agree.”
The deliberations reflect a larger debate about the proper balance between Americans’ constitutional right to voice opinions, even if many people find them offensive, and the threat posted by far-right movements espousing racist, misogynistic and anti-democratic ideas that sometimes advocate violence to achieve their goals.
Military officials say they have little reliable data about the extent of service members’ involvement in such groups, in part because cases that come to light are handled by different military services and in many instances are not sent to military courts.
But even before Jan. 6, a spate of reported cases highlighted what appears to be an alarming rise. Sometimes it has taken more than a year to discharge individuals known to support extremist causes, as occurred in the case of an airman who belonged to the white supremacist group Identity Evropa.
Uniformed personnel already are subject to some limits on the freedom of speech enjoyed by other Americans, on the basis of what courts have ruled is the vital mission of the military and the importance of order in the ranks. Service members can be tried in military courts, for example, for disrespecting senior officers, using indecent language or inciting others to abandon their duties.
Officials reviewing military rules on extremism, which do not reflect the amorphous, largely online nature of today’s far right, also are considering a move that would ban “mere membership” in such groups.
Some activists argue that the prohibitions should be more sweeping because, in their view, even interactions with extremists in an online forum, for example, constitute active participation in potentially violent movements.
“It’s not so much their opinion; it’s them being involved with other extremists,” said Mark Pitcavage, an expert on domestic extremism at the Anti-Defamation League, which tracks hate groups.
But Michael Berry, a former Marine Corps lawyer who is general counsel at First Liberty, a group focused on religious freedom, cautioned that the Pentagon could be inviting legal challenges.
“If you try to criminalize thoughts and beliefs, every defense attorney in the country is going to be doing cartwheels to try to line up clients,” Berry said.
Regulating spaces seen as linked to personal ideology could be politically difficult for the Pentagon, especially as some Republican lawmakers question the scope of the extremism problem.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said troops would not be penalized for their beliefs.
“This is not about being the thought police. It’s not about identifying you as an individual and what’s in between your ears,” he recently told reporters. “It’s about what you do with what’s between your ears. It’s about the behavior and the conduct that is inspired by or influenced by this kind of ideology.”
In some cases, courts have affirmed that troops retain “some measure” of free-speech rights. Charles Dunlap, a retired Air Force general who teaches at Duke University’s law school, said the military may be wary of expanding prohibitions, pointing to a 1967 case in which the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a civilian defense worker penalized for his membership in the Communist Party, saying the punishment infringed on his First Amendment right to association. The same might be true for uniformed personnel, he said.
“It is true that First Amendment rights can be more restricted for members of the military than for civilians,” Dunlap said in an email. “But the Court specifically observed in this case that ‘it would indeed be ironic if, in the name of national defense, we would sanction the subversion of one of those liberties — the freedom of association — which makes the defense of the Nation worthwhile.’ ”
Mark Nevitt, a former Navy lawyer who teaches at the Syracuse University College of Law, pointed to other cases in which courts have characterized the military as a “specialized society separate from society.”
“Federal courts will likely provide a healthy dose of deference to the military if challenged, particularly if the military can link the new definition to the underlying military mission and good order and discipline,” he said.
Lawmakers who have spoken in favor of broader prohibitions include Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), who recently appealed to Biden to strengthen reviews of troops’ social media, and Rep. Anthony G. Brown (D-Md.), a former Army lawyer who as a lawmaker has advocated expanded restrictions.
Brown drew a line between troops’ affiliations with political organizations such as the Republican or Democratic parties and groups like the Proud Boys, a far-right organization with a history of violence. Some of its members took part in the Jan. 6 riot.
“Any time you raise the issue of restricting constitutional rights and protections, it is a big deal, and we should be thoughtful and mindful before we do that,” Brown said. “What I would offer in response is that the corrosive effect of participating in and membership in extremist groups is so great on military readiness, of good order and discipline, that this would be an instance where restricting First Amendment rights can be justified.”

From New York Times best-selling author Lauren Blakely.
Let's say there was this guy. And he gave you the most mind-blowing night of sex in your life. And you never saw him again.
Until 10 years later.
Now, it turns out he's the only one in all of Manhattan whose restaurant is available for my charity's event. The trouble is, he doesn't recognize me.
This woman I'm working with is so damn alluring. The first time I set eyes on her, I'm captivated and I can't get her out of my mind. Even if it's risky to tango with someone I'm working with, she's a risk I'm willing to take.
The trouble is, she won't give me the time of day.
But I'm determined to change that.

Hot and heartwarmer quickie
Narrated by Zachary Webber and Andi Arndt the ONLY ONE begins with a prologue from ten years ago on the night Penny waits in Manhatten for Gabriel. The two met in Barcelona and spent passionate days together. With Gabriel coming to America for a position as a Chef, the two arranged to reunite at a set time and place before she departs. Expect Gabriel never showed, never called and broke Penny's heart.
Penny has changed a lot in the last ten years and was almost engaged, but that hasn't stopped her from thinking about Gabriel. When her assistant books appointments for her to see caterers for her picnic in the park event to support her Little Friends Animal Rescue she finds Gabriel listed. I enjoyed the build up to the meeting and could imagine calling my BFF in for help if facing an old lover that ended without closure.
When Penny finally works up the never to attend the meeting she is crushed when he doesn't recognize her. Gabriel, on the other hand, is convinced she is his long lost love Penelope but the woman before him looks drastic different and isn't working in the corporate world as she planned. He asks questions, but when she denies a connection, he asks her out to dinner. What follows is a quirky, adorkable romance complete with cute puppies, advice from girlfriends and flashbacks to their love affair.
I enjoyed THE ONLY ONE and Blakely certainly does an excellent job of sharing the past and building the romance. I did, however, miss the humor and development I have previously enjoyed in her full-length stories. I struggled a little with Penny and her handling of their first meeting. When he asked certain things, I felt she was deceptive, but they quickly moved on from that. I thought the reasons for Gabriel missing their meeting ten years ago were valid. Thankfully the romance was low on drama and high on romance. I adored Penny's pup and the playful descriptions of her.
The narration was delightful. I enjoy the pairing of these two. Both handle the opposite sex voices quite well, and their pacing and tone work well together. I would listen to this duo again.
Short and Sweet
Second Chance Romance
My most memorable moment was when they finally tell each other who they are. Until that point in the book, they THOUGHT they knew the other but didn't tell the other one.
These two are always excellent - no matter the book.
The Epilogue - when the went to the fountain.
I like that even though this was a short book, all the bases were covered. It didn't leave me with any unanswered questions at the end or longing for me. It was perfectly written and detailed.

Bitter harvest for dragon fruit farmers
The price of dragon fruit has dropped as harvest began in Dong Nai Province's Trang Bom and Xuan Loc districts, causing difficulties for farmers.
According to farmers, the price has fallen by half from last year to VND15,000 (66 US cents) per kilogramme, the lowest in the last two years.
In recent years, since the market was steady, Xuan Loc District encouraged farmers to grow the fruit instead of other low-profit crops.
The fruit is grown on around 300ha there, mainly in the communes of Xuan Hung, Xuan Tam and Suoi Cat.
