Talk:Derek Lee (politician)

Religious beliefs
I added the note about RC because Lee has been mentioned wrt Scientology. I think this is suitable to mention this since he appears to have religious views. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 18:18, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It's relevant that he identifies as a Catholic (and not a Scientologist), but I'm not certain if it's necessary to say anything beyond that. The context of the quote isn't entirely clear, and, anyway, it's not really our task to distinguish devout from lapsed Catholics.  CJCurrie (talk) 01:22, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Anybody who sticks their nose into Scientology ought to be fully scrutinized. I think a full discussion about his religious beliefs is completely relevant. It gives an additional insight into his thinking process. Also would you please stop reverting my edit until we have completed this discussion? EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 04:59, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree that Lee's involvement with Scientology makes his religious identity a point of interest. The problem with the quote provided is that it (i) has nothing to do with his involvement with Scientology, (ii) is potentially out of context (it's not clear if Lee is talking about Catholicism or becoming a priest), (iii) adds little light to the broader situation.  It really just seems to be an offhand remark, not particularly relevant to an encyclopedic project.
 * I could add that I'm a bit puzzled by the tone of your response. CJCurrie (talk) 00:09, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it reads fine without "I have done some cursory reading. I'm not personally drawn to (Catholicism), but I have to say that about many religious faiths." The previous sentence seems to tactfully convey the understanding that his religious beliefs have migrated over time between the 2 mentioned (or neither). I don't think we should be going any deeper into the topic (regardless of whether the media wishes to). Deet (talk) 00:52, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's clear from the article that Lee actually said he was "no longer drawn to the Catholic religion", and I think our safest/best option would be to remove that statement as well. CJCurrie (talk) 02:35, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I've been doing some research on Lee (and have added some additional stuff to the article). So far I have found only one other reference to Lee and religion. A 1989 Toronto Star article also mentioned that he was thinking of becoming a priest. As to the quote, I think it's appropriate to keep it but it could be framed better. I am continuing my research and may find additional sources. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 03:34, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * On a related topic, ie. his personal beliefs, I have so far found references to Lee espousing anti-abortion views, anti same-sex marriage views, and he also supports the death penalty. Would it be fair to label him a social conservative? EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 03:37, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Unquestionably, yes. CJCurrie (talk) 03:46, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Religious Beliefs - one year later
I removed the following text from the article because it was not clear from the source that it was saying what was implied in the wikipedia article. "'He once considered becoming a priest but he is no longer drawn to the Roman Catholic religion. 'I have done some cursory reading. I'm not personally drawn to (Catholicism), but I have to say that about many religious faiths.'" If he considered becoming a priest, I'm sure he did more than cursory reading in regards to Catholicism. The source says: "Mr. Lee, who once considered becoming a priest, says he is not particularly interested in the church's teachings, however. 'I have done some cursory reading. I'm not personally drawn to it, but I have to say that about many religious faiths.'" I believe that "the church's teachings" here refers to Scientology, not to Catholicism. and that "I'm not personally drawn to it" again refers to Scientology, not Catholicism.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Raul Cătinaș (2nd nomination)

The result was delete. please read WP:BLUDGEON -- RoySmith (talk) 21:42, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Raul Cătinaș
AfDs for this article:
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Was deleted through AfD back in 2014. A G4 speedy was declined "as the current article is not "sufficiently identical" to the deleted one." Not having access to the deleted article, this had to be looked at by an admin. However, there is nothing new since 2014 to indicate an increase in notability.  Onel 5969  TT me 16:12, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Romania-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 16:15, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * if you check the current article history, you'll see that I refunded the version that had been deleted. is visible to all editors, so anyone can see the differences between then and now. --RexxS (talk) 16:50, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I missed that in the history.  If I had seen that I would have bypassed the G4, and come directly here, since my AfD rationale still stands... nothing that different between then and now, except for his attempted comeback, which imho does not really add enough notability.  Onel 5969  TT me 17:06, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * - The page was refunded by an administrator because this kickboxer is considered notable. He is a 2-time K-1 WGP Final 16 finalist. Please SEE THIS, Cătinaș was the only fighter on the card without a Wikipedia page until creation. He has also fought at the K-1 World Grand Prix 2012 in Tokyo Final 16. K-1 was an organisation that reunited the best heavyweights in the world. We had no rankings, but we can assume he could have been around the 10th rank so it should pass the rule "been ranked in the world top 10 by an independent publication". Liverkick ceased to exist, and Combat Press (Kickboxing) was created only some years ago. Kickboxing is covered less by media than is the UFC in the USA. I suggest some wisdom and indulgence, please. Thom Harinck, longest coach in the world and one of the best in the history of the sport, names him the "White Tyson" and "perhaps the hardest white hitter in heavyweight history". So being not just fighting in 2 K-1 finals, but also being considered an incredibly heavy hitter by Harinck could be notable.--.karellian-24 (talk) 18:28, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 02:03, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete He wasn't notable in 2014 and he's done nothing since then to show WP notability. He doesn't meet any of the kickboxer notability criteria at WP:NKICK and I'm not seeing the significant independent coverage required to meet WP:GNG.  I found interviews and routine sports coverage, but that's not enough.  I did correct the article's mistaken claims that he was a two-time K-1 Grand Prix Finalist because he never actually qualified for the 8 man finals. Papaursa (talk) 03:43, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, so? He could have been easily top 10 at that point if we would have had rankings. He was a Final 16 finalist. Twice. To be a Final 16 finalist in K-1, it's huge. Some had to win qualifying tournaments plus a grand tournament in order to enter the Seoul final (Final 16). Seoul Final 16 was known as the 2nd gigantic K-1 event after the K-1 Final (Final 8) in Tokyo. Seoul is linked to the finals, being called Final 16. It should be a gesture of goodwill, since he was in top 16 twice when had no rankings. He could have been easily a top 10, passing the rules. Plus the administrator refunded this. .karellian-24 (talk) 16:33, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

You must understand a thing, Catinas and many other Romanian kickboxers are good enough to win 10 ISKA titles, but they fight in own promotions. Fighting for ISKA world title is shit, they are not like WBC/WBA/IBF in boxing. In kickboxing we have GLORY, SUPERKOMBAT titles, the same as in MMA. And not even ONE Championship now is not considered at GLORY level. SUPERKOMBAT promoted with K-1 and was vanished by abbuse of office.

.karellian-24 (talk) 17:11, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep 2 reasons. At that point we had no rankings, and he would pass being top 10 heavyweight. He was qualified for the Final 16 of heavyweight, it is called the Seoul Final 16 final and is part of the finals event (Seoul and Tokyo). TWICE was qualified then we can presume he could have been top 10 at some point. SECONDLY, actually he meets WP:GNG, Thom Harinck described him as "perhaps the hardest white hitter in heavyweight history". In several articles. So he is good for the kickboxing. Good enough to have a page. Not just a gesture of goodwill, but he also meets WP:GNG. .karellian-24 (talk) 16:37, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment I'm not going to attempt to respond to everything you posted, just the important points. He didn't qualify for the final 16 by winning any Grand Prix events, he was one of six of the fighters voted in by fans (at least in Seoul).  An overall record of 1 win and 3 losses in Grand Prix tournaments hardly is evidence of being a world top 10 fighter. Liverkick still existed back in 2010 and 2012, so you need to show an actual ranking, not just a claim that he should have been in the top 10.  You made similar erroneous claims at Articles for deletion/Khayal Dzhaniev (2nd nomination).  For example, here is a link to Liverkick's January 2011 rankings  and you'll see Catinas is ranked 25th.  In their January 2013 rankings  he's not even ranked.  Please quit making up your own notability rules and rankings and using them at AfD discussions.  In addition, interviews do not count as coverage suitable for demonstrating WP:GNG.  Pick out a few references you believe show he meets WP:GNG and I'll look at them, but please don't WP:BLUDGEON.  Since he doesn't meet WP:NKICK you need to show that he meets WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 19:10, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment Papa, I don't watch MMA/UFC often, but I do watch kickboxing. I know absolutely everything about it. 1. First of all, it's not important how he reached TWICE the Final 16 finals. If we question the others' value, 90% of the heavyweights on Wikipedia are poorer than Cătinaş. First time was through K-1, second time was through the sister of K-1 (Superkombat). 2. Secondly, the vote was about something else, about who impressed in the season if I am not wrong. I am not entirely sure though. He qualified through the K-1 ColliZion 2009 Final Elimination and the K-1 World Grand Prix 2010 in Bucharest which ended as K-1 Europe's GP (Lodz was a shitty qualifying tournament, but he failed to win it because of Zabit Samedov). Stop being so funny with the WGP tournaments of K-1, because some had World Grand Prix names but were pissed poor. Irimia got the Collizion and he never put shitty shows such as in Warsaw or Vilnius for instance. Lodz was so strong because it was organised by Local Kombat/Superkombat/Irimia. In Warsaw Daniil Sapljoshin of Estonia won. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE LEVEL? Some were not as good even as the Superkombat's WGPs. Daniil Sapljoshin would have never won a Superkombat tournament, they never had such a poor kickboxer winning an event. Sapljoshin owns a Wikipedia page and lost by KO in Romania. The other one, who won Vilnius, I mean Mindaugas Sakalauskas also lost by the same 1st ROUND KO. What the hell? Daniil Sapljoshin is on Wikipedia and Cătinaş is not. The Estonian lost to Ciobanu, now I can tell you Cătinaş would have walked through Ciobanu. Ciobanu was 2nd tier heavyweight in Romania, Cătinaş was 1st with Ghita, Adegbuyi and Morosanu. And Iftimoaie, Sora and Zmarandescu. Raul was 21 year old at that time. Of course, Kemayo's qualification different, Cătinaş qualified through a superfight after the Final Elimination. Btw, for knowledge, Eduard Irimia was organising the K-1 events for Europe. Note: Cătinaş was the 2nd youngest participated ever after Badr Hari in the K-1 finals. And what, do you count his results where? At K-1? Kickboxing record is not just abut K-1. Plus he was young. What? Ghita not a legend because he has a short career in K-1, 2/2 finals losing to Schilt and Saki at extra-round? K-1 eventually disbanded. Catinas lacked experience at K-1. Edwards if you remember well he knocked Overeem down before being KOed. Kemayo for instance was losing his fights in Local Kombat (ex-Superkombat). Superkombat was the 2nd promotion in Europe after It's Showtime (as Local Kombat), after 1st in 2012 before Ultimate Glory (and also in the world). Deleted by abuse of office. After Ultimate Glory got Andurand and Superkombat became 1st. The problem is the kickboxing rules don't equal the MMA rules. Cătinaş should be qualified, fought in K-1 and Superkombat a lot of matches. And also Superkombat should have been on Wikipedia and counted as a 1st tier promotion. Moreover we should add some easier rules for kickboxing, to equal the rules of MMA. I mean if they fought in some promotions, if they won some titles from China and Romania and maybe Enfusion. Because there is discrimination against kickboxing. Ok, I got wrong, we had 1 site of rankings Liverkick, with some rules that you must beat the fighter to rank higher. Not 5 sites.

Yes, if Liverkick wouldn't have been disappeared, Dzhaniev would have been top 10. Dzhaniev in his division is poorer than Cătinaş, but he beat Buakaw in 2015. A kickboxer who beat still prime Buakaw is not on Wikipedia? And Cătinaş is a phenomenon and very know in Europe. Combat Press have different and very subjective rankings. At Liverkick you had to beat a top 10 fighter to reach higher than him. Dzhaniev with the MMA rules would have been on Wikipedia. :) Such fighters with his talent, should be on Wikipedia. He also beat Christian Baya and others. There are much poorer fighters than Dzhaniev on Wikipedia. They should change the rules, if you beat 3 or 5 fighters with Wikipedia, you should also be on Wikipedia. Cătinaș KOed legends like Leko and Slowinski, defeated Mighty Mo at the rematch and KOed also Guidon who was Ultimate Glory finalist against Saki (lost by decision to both Saki and Schilt). SO FUNNY, because Cătinaș is knocking guys with Wikipedia! Don't you see there is a logical problem? Prime Poturak, Daniel Sam of Glory, Paula Matale, Rozenstruik etc serious opponents also. Like I said, Romania is very good at kickboxing, why would our promotions need ISKA and WKN? A Romanian promotion even now is promoting with ISKA, WKN promoted with Local Kombat/Superkombat for 15 years and Irimia's brother is working for WKN. Do you think it's hard to fight for a world title? Shitty fighters from France are "world champions", fighting in regional promotions, they don't even have money for creating own belts. And not even television. ISKA/WKN should be on the list of rules, but this is overrated, since the promotion titles have become more important in kickboxing. And not just Dzhaniev, Roman Kleibl is also gone, should have been on Wikipedia. Solid Czech heavyweight, probably in prime better than prime Hron who at some point reached top 10 because of the poorer opposition.

'''Cătinaş beat Leko, Slowinski, Mo, Guidon, Carter Williams, Poturak etc and he is not on Wikipedia. 90% of them by KO. Wake up Wikipedia! Dzhaniev beat a top 10 Buakaw and Christian Baya former Glory challenger and he is also not on Wikipedia. Facts! To see how wrong is this site.''' .karellian-24 (talk) 22:39, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment Cătinaş ranked 25th when he was younger and when some heavyweights were close to retirement. Because Rico Verhoeven was 23rd for instance, Pavel Zhuravlev was 20th and after became #2 ranked light-heavyweight after Vakhitov. As you see, Cătinaş beat Mo (#24) and Guidon (#18) by KO, and with the most he couldn't meet because were older. This was before beating Mo at the rematch and Guidon! We can assume he was at least top 15 ranked. But Wikipedia rules are dumb and discriminate kickboxing compared to MMA/boxing, even a top 25 kickboxer should be on the site! Right or not? Do you know how many poor kickboxers fight for ISKA/WKN world titles? .karellian-24 (talk) 22:45, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Cătinaş could meet WP:GNG, because of the following sources:

Largest Romanian newspaper Gazeta Sporturilor (launched in 1924, homonym of Gazetta Dello Sport in Italy) calls him  "youngest participant ever in the K-1 Final 16". Even though some sources say Badr Hari and Cătinas second, but is still ok. https://www.gsp.ro/sporturi/altele/raul-catinas-revine-in-ring-dupa-4-ani-motivul-halucinant-al-retragerii-temporare-atac-la-ghita-n-a-vrut-sa-lupte-cu-nimeni-591098.html

Not to mention Raul trained with the best gyms in the Netherlands, from Chakuriki Gym and Mike's Gym to ARJ Trainingen now of Eersel, Khbabez and Londt. Plus with Gustafsson at Stockholm.

 * To see how wrong are the kickboxing rules and discriminated, how many fights do you need to have with the UFC in order to get a page? 2 fights? Cătinaș has 10 fights in the old K-1. .karellian-24 (talk) 23:02, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

 * He has just signed for GLORY. I think a lot of fights in Glory and K-1 is enough. .karellian-24 (talk) 13:43, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

 * My final comment, hopefully In multiple discussions, I have said that since you obviously don't like the existing notability criteria for kickboxers, you should seek to get them changed.  AfD discussions are not the place, though I gave you suitable locations.  You also need to quit making up your own reasons and rankings.  Either show a ranking from an acceptable independent source or don't claim a fighter is top 10 just because you think he should be.  The fact that he trained at some of the top Dutch gyms is a case of WP:NOTINHERITED and fighters aren't notable just because they're fighting for the Glory promotion.  If these are the best independent reliable sources that show significant coverage of Catinas, then I feel even more confident about my vote.  Here's my analysis of the sources you just mentioned.
 * The Gazeta Sporturilor is pre-fight promotional coverage and the fact that Catinas is the second youngest fighter to make the K-1 Final 16 is not an indicator of notability nor is it very in-depth coverage.
 * The sport.ro source is a 40 second video of Catinas talking and showing Mike Tyson kissing Catinas' tattoo of Tyson. Promotional and not significant coverage.
 * Ghita's comment that "all the children want to be like Daniel Ghita and Raul Catinas" is both self-promotional and only a passing mention of Catinas.
 * The Ghita-Catinas twitter spat was self-promotional for both as they both were trying to make comebacks. Hard to make a case that is significant, independent coverage.
 * The Prosport article is an interview with Catinas about him wanting to make a comeback after a 4 year retirement. Interviews don't meet WP:GNG.
 * So far I'm not seeing anything to show Catinas is WP notable. Papaursa (talk) 19:09, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete- nothing has changed notability-wise since the article was deleted in 2014 so I see no problem in affirming that result. Reyk YO! 17:37, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Humanitarian Organization for Migration Economics

Humanitarian Organization for Migration Economics (HOME) is a Singaporean non-governmental organization that provides services to, and advocates on behalf of, migrant workers. It was founded in 2004 by Bridget Tan.

Founding
The Humanitarian Organization for Migration Economics was founded by Bridget Tan in September 2004. Tan had previously co-founded and led the Roman Catholic Archdiocesan Commission for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People (ACMI), but left ACMI due to a lack of support from the Church. Tan used her retirement funds to launch HOME.

Activities
The organization provides temporary room and board, medical, legal, and financial assistance, and job skills training to migrant workers that have been financially, emotionally, or sexually abused by their employers or by the agents that recruit migrant workers. HOME also operates a telephone help line and a weekly help desk. Since its founding, the organization has expanded its focus, and now also works to support victims of the sex trade and to combat human trafficking.

In addition to directly serving migrant workers, the organization also works with Singaporean government agencies to help shape policy on migrant workers, sex workers, and human trafficking. HOME holds regular meetings with the Singaporean government's Ministry of Manpower, and also advocates for policy changes publicly. HOME advocates for migrant workers to have regularly scheduled time off, better pay, and equal pay for migrants from different countries. In 2012, it joined with five other non-governmental organizations to criticize an anti-trafficking bill being discussed in Parliament for being too heavily focused on prevention and not focused enough on protecting migrant worker rights, as well as for focusing overly on women trafficked for the sex trade, to the detriment of other victims of trafficking. Home also publishes editorials through the website The Online Citizen.

Humanitarian Organization for Migration Economics conducts research on issues that affect the people it serves. In 2012, HOME collaborated with Yayasan Lintas Nusa and Yayasan Dunia Viva Wanita, the latter a women's shelter in Batam, Indonesia that was also founded by Bridget Tan, on a survey of Indonesian sex workers. The survey found evidence of inconsistent condom use and a significant number of sex tourists from Singapore. In 2015, HOME released a study that found that migrant workers had a significantly higher risk of mental health problems, and recommended better rest, nutrition, and social conditions to help curb the risk.

Recognition
In 2010, HOME was selected by the Asia Society as the recipient of the Asia Society-Bank of America Merrill Lynch Asia 21 Young Leaders Public Service Award. Bridget Tan has also been personally recognized for the work that she did as part of HOME, and received a Hero Acting to End Modern-Day Slavery Award from then United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at a June 2011 ceremony surrounding the release of the Department of State's 2011 Trafficking in Persons Report.

Collaborations
HOME has worked with local artists to create awareness and source aid through crowd funding. In 2017 they worked with international artist Nicola Anthony to raise awareness about migrant workers who needed public help to crowd fund for the cost of their medical bills. Nicola Anthony created three artworks which were exhibited at Singapore Art Museum, telling the stories of three exploited migrant workers. As a result, HOME were able to collect $5000 to cover one year's medical expenses for Mr Wang, (who was repatriated to his home country after suffering a work-related stroke).

Actually, I think we have a field here. Mod 2 arithmetic is the only other field with two elements that I can think of. Are there any others? Well, don't want to go off on too much of a tangent.

I need to prove at least some of the assertions made here. The remainder can be left as an exercise. The proofs are routine.

Shining Hope for Communities

Shining Hope for Communities (SHOFCO) is a grassroots movement based in Nairobi, Kenya in urban slums providing services, community advocacy platforms, and education and leadership development for women and girls. SHOFCO serves more than 350,000 urban slum dwellers in 10 slums across three cities in Kenya.

Famous supporters of SHOFCO include Sibusiso Dlamini, Beyonce, Madonna, Chelsea Clinton, Nicholas Kristof and Abby Disney, alongside Bradley Whitford, Maria Menounos, Representative Karen Bass and artist Bradley Theodore.

Locations
SHOFCO currently operates in 10 slums across Kenya: Kibera, Mathare, Mukuru, Korogocho, and Kawangware, in Nairobi; Bangladesh, Mashimoroni, and Maweni in Mombasa; and Obunga and Nyalenda in Kisumu. The majority of their work in these areas is based on the SHOFCO Urban Network (SUN), which is the primary driver of new growth for SHOFCO in these slums.

History
Kennedy Odede grew up in Kibera where he experienced extreme poverty, violence, lack of opportunity, and deep gender inequality. It is because of this experience that in 2004, with just 20 cents and a soccer ball, he started SHOFCO as a movement for the empowerment of urban youth, women, and girls. Odede was inspired by activists Martin Luther King Jr., Marcus Garvey and Nelson Mandela, as well as by women like his mother who suffered consistent abuse but remained strong and driven.

In 2007, Odede met Jessica Posner, an American college student who was studying abroad in Kenya. Together they created the model that SHOFCO uses today. In 2009, Odede and Posner built the Kibera School for Girls, a landmark achievement in the history of the organisation that acted as a base for their female empowerment programme. SHOFCO has expanded their services to include free medical clinics, an innovative aerial clean water system, public toilets, an internet café, as well as economic and community empowerment programs. The aerial water piping system was the first of its kind in Kenya and is in both Kibera and Mathare.

In September 2014, Shining Hope for Communities officially opened SHOFCO-Mathare in Nairobi's second largest slum, Mathare. This site includes another school for girls, a free healthcare clinic and community and economic empowerment programs. SHOFCO has continued to expand and now operates in 10 slums across Kenya.

Recent Achievements
The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation honored SHOFCO as the 2018 Hilton Humanitarian Prize recipient. The prize is the world's largest annual humanitarian award presented to nonprofit organizations judged to have made extraordinary contributions toward alleviating human suffering and working to improve the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable people throughout the world. SHOFCO became the youngest organization ever to receive the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize, a true testament to the impact they have had in such a short amount of time. SHOFCO's 2018 Annual Report included some landmark results for the organization. In their Girls Leadership and Education Programme, 521 girls are enrolled in their two primary schools, with 96% of achieving a pass mark on the 2018 KCPE (Kenya Certificate of Primary Education), with the average mark being a B+, and 100% of Kibera School for Girls (KSG) students transitioning to secondary schools in Kenya and the United States. The Kibera School for Girls also placed #2 in the sub-county for KCPE exam scores. 20 SHOFCO graduates were admitted to prestigious Kenyan boarding schools and an additional three girls were accepted on full scholarship to Buffalo Seminary, the Taft School, and the Brooks School, top boarding schools in the United States.

The SHOFCO Health program provides slum dwellers with access to healthcare. Services provided in these clinics include: primary health and preventative care, pre and postpartum care, child immunizations, comprehensive HIV care, family planning, cervical cancer screening, gender-based violence response, and child nutrition. In 2018, six SHOFCO clinics were operational – five spread across the densely populated Kibera and one in Mathare. SHOFCO reached 289,258 clients, including providing malnutrition screening for 12,874 children and enrolling 850 of these in their malnutrition programme, as well as fully vaccinating 91.9% of children who attended their clinics against diseases.

The Sustainable Livelihoods program: In 2018 SHOFCO provided 4,807 beneficiaries with employability, entrepreneurship and business training, placing 672 youths with internships with 222 employers and training 2,014 with job readiness skills. The program placed young people in the following sectors: non-profit, hospitality, education, information and communication technology, retail, beauty, and fashion design. To enhance the youths’ information technology skills, the program also trained 913 youth from both Kibera and Mathare on basic computer literacy skills and programs. SHOFCO also now operates 24 water kiosks across Kibera as part of their Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programme. 23 of the kiosks now have cashless payment systems, which work to challenge and undermine the water cartels previously operating in the area to provide clean and affordable water for the community. These water kiosks provided 19,979 individuals with water for themselves and their families. A total of 2,207,420 litres of water were distributed throughout the community.

In 2018, the Gender Based Violence Program was raising awareness and addressing sexual and gender based violence cases (SGBV) in four urban slums: Kibera, Mathare, Mukuru (Nairobi) and Bangladesh (Mombasa). More than 20,000 households were reached with services including information on SGBV prevention, response initiatives, and legal support and referrals. 2018 also saw a formal partnership with the Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs, aimed at a coordinated approach to address SGBV. SHOFCO's SGBV team handled 1,210 cases, including sexual gender based violence, domestic violence, and child abuse. 514 cases were successfully handled and closed. 103 SGBV clients were provided with temporary safe house accommodations. 11 cases were reported and taken to court, with all perpetrators sentenced to life in prison.

The SHOFCO Urban Network (SUN): In 2018, the SHOFCO Urban Network (SUN) reached 75,240 community members. SUN continued to facilitate community groups and peer-to peer savings networks to create an entrepreneurial investment fund for businesses, and micro-life insurance to mitigate the risks of unexpected death that can devastate family finances. SUN also united 801 social welfare groups, issued scholarships to 64 secondary school students and memberships to SUN SACCO membership rose to 1,500 actively saving members, with loans worth KSh 22.3 million (US$223,000) issued.

Aalahayude Penmakkal

Aalahayude Penmakkal (Daughters of God the father) is a Malayalam novel written by Sarah Joseph and published in 1999. The novel is the first in the trilogy which includes 'Mattathi' and 'Othappu'. This novel gave widespread recognition to Sarah Joseph and her craft. 'Aalahayude Penmakkal' won the Kerala Sahitya Academy award of 2001, Kendra Sahitya Academy award of 2003, Vayalar Ramavarma award of 2004, and Cherukad Award of 2000. The novel deals with the condition of marginalized groups in society pointed out as subalterns by Marxist Antonio Gramsci. The living and existential conditions of these groups are seldom acknowledged by the society at large and generally they are displaced from their places of stay and livelihoods, usually in the name of development and change. This transformation in their existential struggle is narrated by Annie, the central character, who gives voice to three generations of her subaltern group albeit with a feminine perspective.

Summary
The novel is narrated from the perspective of Annie, an eight-year-old child living in 'Kokkanchira'. 'Kokkanchira' is depicted as an undesirable place. Annie's school teachers are also shown chiding children from 'Kokkanchira' and showing general apathy and disgust. 'Kokkkanchira' is described as being a dumping ground for carcasses and dead bodies, before Annie and her family moved in there. 'Kokkanchira' is now inhabited by lowest of classes in the society. They are generally shown as people who are latrine cleaners, scavengers and belonging to dalit groups or other marginalized group of people that are shunned by higher class society. However Joseph also points out that the city of Thrissur needs the services of these groups even when the existential rights of these groups remain unacknowledged. The main theme of the novel is the displacement faced by such groups of people in the name of urbanization and development. Being from the lowest stratum, these people are easily moved from their habitual places of residences by the rich and become increasingly isolated in the middle of new pavements and multi-storied houses. Annie is witness to these changes taking place around her, in 'Kodichiangadi' and 'Kokkanchira'. She describes these changes affecting her and her family through her childlike eyes and perspective. Hence it is with childlike simplicity that she observes the demolition of a stretch of single-roomed houses to make way for a bungalow and the rise of a convent near to her own home, in a plot that used to be vacant.

There are two important instruments used by the author in this novel. These are 'Aalahayude Prarthana' or prayer of God the father and 'Amara Pandhal' or broad bean enclosure. The Aalaha’s prayer, and the amara pandhal are two interacting symbols that dominate and control the story. Early on in the novel Annie imagines that atop the bean stalk is a completely different world, which is magnificent and filled with delight. Later on it is shown that the a road roller dismantles almost half of the bean stalk enclosure, while surfacing a pathway. It allegorically refers to the demolition of Annie's dreams by the symbol of change and development- The road roller. The second instrument is the 'Aalahayude prathana'. Annie hopes that one day she will come in possession of 'Aalahas' prayer which has the power to exorcise evil, from her grandmother and by which she may change her circumstance. Towards the end of the novel she becomes the sole possessor of the 'Aalahas' prayer recited to her by her grandmother, but she has also become the sole possessor of her people’s subculture and damnation.

Main characters

 * Annie - The eight-year-old girl through whose eyes the novel unravels.
 * Ammama - Annie's grandmother who claims sole knowledge of the 'Aalaha's Prayer' which has power to drive away evil.
 * Kochu Rothu  - Annie's mother.
 * Kuttippapan  - Annie's uncle, suffering from tuberculosis.
 * Velliamma, Cherichi Ammai, Chinnamma, Chiyyamma - Annie's aunts.

Belanova

Belanova are a Mexican pop band formed in Guadalajara, Jalisco, in 2000. The band consists of Denisse Guerrero (lead vocals), Edgar Huerta (keyboards, programming) and Ricardo "Richie" Arreola (bass, guitar). Although these are the only three official members, several other musicians performed in the band's live lineup, most notably Israel "Campanita" Ulloa (drums) and Richo Acosta (guitar). The band was signed to Virus Records, owned by Universal Music, in 2002.

Early years & Cocktail (2000–2004)
All three members of the band had a passion for music since childhood. Richie, from Guadalajara, developed his interest in music out of an admiration for The Beatles member Paul McCartney as a child. Edgar, also from Guadalajara, first became interested in music when his brother received a little keyboard as a Christmas present, showing little interest in it, and so Edgar simply began playing it one day. Denisse, originally from Los Mochis, Sinaloa, enjoyed singing since she was a child, and was previously a member of the band 40 Grados, literally "40 Degrees (Celsius)." The trio met in Guadalajara at a bar where both Edgar and Denisse were working.

Their first album was titled Cocktail and was released in 2003. The first single off the album was "Tus Ojos", which gained popularity due to its inclusion in a Mitsubishi publicity campaign, just after the Japanese car maker's arrival in Mexico. The song reached number one on the Mexican Top 100 and stayed there for 3 consecutive weeks. The album reached number five on the Mexican Albums Chart and was certified Gold; consequently, the album was named one of the Top Five albums of 2003 by Rolling Stone Mexico.

Apart from "Tus Ojos", the album also spawned two more top-twenty hits, "Suele Pasar" and "Y Aún Así Te Vas".

The band spent 2003 and 2004 on a 100-Concert Tour around Mexico promoting the album. Following Cocktail's success, management at Universal Music Mexico company encouraged the band to adopt a more commercial sound. Belanova flew to Argentina to record their second album, moving from electronic music to electropop, and the band was moved from the company's dance-music branch, Virus Records, to the larger one, Universal.

Dulce Beat & commercial success (2005–2007)
In 2005, Belanova released their second album, Dulce Beat, which gained popularity in the Latin American music market thanks largely to television stations such as MTV. The album was released on June 21, 2005, in Mexico, reaching the number one spot and holding the spot for four non-consecutive weeks. The album went on to sell over 200,000 copies in Mexico alone. The first single was "Me Pregunto", with a sound similar to that of Cocktail. The single was followed soon after by "Por Ti", much more grounded in pop music. Both songs reached number one in Mexico. "Rosa Pastel" was released in July 2006 as the third single. The fourth single, "Niño", was used in promotions for Pizza Hut Mexico. The huge success of the album prompted Disney's Latin American branch to ask the band to record a Spanish version of the song "What I've Been Looking For" ("Eres Tú") for the Latin American release of the High School Musical Soundtrack.

The album was very successful in Latin America, with sales of over 500,000. This led to the release of the band's first live album, "Dulce Beat Live", which went Gold in Mexico only few hours after it was released. The album includes a set of 16 songs performed live at the Foro Expo in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico on March 10, 2006. A deluxe edition of Dulce Beat, featuring several acoustic versions of songs from Belanova's first two albums and a new vocal recording of "Te Quedas o Te Vas", was also released, titled Dulce Beat 2.0. Belanova's video "Por Ti" broke the record for the most weeks on MTV Mexico's Top 20, peaking at number one for twenty-nine weeks. When the album was released in the United States in the spring of 2006, it hit number fifty-nine on Billboard's Top Latin Albums Chart and reached the top ten on the Top Electronic Albums Chart. The band earned a Latin Grammy Nomination for "Mejor Álbum Vocal Pop Dúo o Grupo" ("Best Pop Vocal Album by a Group or Duo"), but lost to La Oreja de Van Gogh. Belanova became the most nominated Mexican Act on the 2006's MTV Video Music Awards Latin America, despite only winning "Mejor Artista Norte" ("Best Northern Artist").

Fantasía Pop & venture into foreign markets (2007–2009)
Belanova's third album, Fantasía Pop, featured a move further away from electropop and more towards pop. The album was released on September 10, 2007, in Mexico and Latin America, and on September 11, 2007, in the United States. The album was recorded in Argentina. The first single, "Baila Mi Corazón", premiered on July 2 on the Mexican radio station Los 40 Principales. In July 2007, the band signed a contract with Sony Ericsson México to release the model W580 as a special Belanova Edition, which included three new tracks from the album as well as a music video and a dance game. On August 18, 2007, the band shot the video for the second single from their album, "Toma Mi Mano". The song was included on the soundtrack for the Mexican film "Hasta El Viento Tiene Miedo" and served as a promotional single for the film. On September 12, 2007, it was reported that the album had sold over 50,000 copies in just three days in Mexico, which earned it Gold certification from AMPROFON. Promotion for the third single, "One, Two, Three, Go! (1, 2, 3, Go!)", began in summer 2008. The single received heavy airplay among Mexican pop radio stations. The music video was released on July 10, premiering on MTV. The band was named the most played act in Mexico of 2008 with the single "Cada Que..." topping the Year-End Charts. "Paso El Tiempo" was released as the final single off the album, coinciding with the release of the band's second live album, Tour Fantasía Pop. The album brought the group bigger success in foreign markets. They toured Mexico, Ibero-America, and the United States. Belanova was named 'Best New Band' by Yahoo! Spain, following the release of the album in early 2008. "Baila Mi Corazón" reached the top of Spain's airplay charts, but album sales never took off. The album was certified Oro (Latin Gold) in the United States after selling over 100,000 copies and the band announced their first headlining tour across the United States with 20 dates. "One, Two, Three, Go! (1, 2, 3, Go!)" was featured as a free "Single of the Week" on the Apple iTunes music store in the United States, beginning the week of July 29. In November 23 they won a Latin Grammy 2008 for their Album "Fantasía Pop"

In September 2008, the nominees for the Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica 2008 were announced, Belanova receiving the second highest number of nominations along with Argentine band Babasónicos, with six nominations each, just behind the Colombian singer Juanes. Belanova was the most nominated Mexican act. The band was also nominated at the Lunas del Auditorio Nacional and the Latin Grammys.

Sueño Electro project (2010–2012)
Belanova's fourth and fifth studio albums were recorded simultaneously but released separately as Sueño Electro I in 2010 and Sueño Electro II in 2011. The band first called Sueño Electro a "project in multiple parts" when asked about the significance of the numeral in the title of the first release. Vocalist Denisse Guerrero expressed that splitting the release into two parts allowed the band more freedom in experimenting in genres outside of their usual synthpop. Sueño Electro I is Belanova's fourth studio album, nominated for the 2011 Latin Grammy under Best Pop Album by a Duo or Group. It was announced on the band's Twitter page with an initial release window in the fall of 2010. Belanova stated in various interviews that the album would feature various musical styles, expressing that they experimented with many new instruments and sounds, focusing heavily on the production and recording process. The album was released early in some areas of Mexico on October 23, 2010, and in the rest of the country, as well as the United States and Latin America, on October 25. It debuted at number six on the AMPROFON Top 100 and at number nine on the Billboard Top Latin Albums Chart., also were representants of Pronósticos, a Mexican state-owned lottery company.

Sueño Electro II is the band's fifth studio album. It features similar musical styles as its predecessor, also experimenting with traditional Mexican Ranchera music. The album was released on September 6, 2011, throughout Mexico, the United States, and Latin America, in standard and deluxe formats. It debuted at number eight on the Billboard Top Latin Albums Chart. In Mexico, it debuted at number 20 on the AMPROFON Top 100 Chart.

Two successful singles were released from Sueño Electro I. The first, "Nada De Más", was released online and on radio on August 2, 2010. The music video premiered on television on September 27, 2010. "No Me Voy a Morir" went on to become the second single from Sueño Electro I in late 2010, and the music video premiered early the following year. It showcased several instruments new to the band, including a string orchestra and French horns. In May 2011, the band announced "Mariposas" as the first single from Sueño Electro II. The second single from Sueño Electro II released in late 2011 was "Hasta El Final", a song inspired by Mariachi music.

The band spent the final months of 2010 playing a short tour in various cities in the United States in support of Sueño Electro I. In early 2011, they toured shortly in Mexico and Latin America, most notably as part of Shakira's The Pop Festival Tour in Colombia and Mexico. The band also expressed interest in branching out into Europe and Asia. A tour entitled "Belanova Sessions" began in June 2010 to promote both Sueño Electro albums throughout Mexico, South America, and the United States. In April 2012, "Tour Sueño Electro II" began in the USA. In late 2012, the band was part of a short tour in the United States with Moderatto.

Canciones Para La Luna - Sinfónico En Vivo (2012–2014)
In February 2012, during promotion for International Designers Mexico, a fashion convention in which Denisse Guerrero was involved, she mentioned to the press that Belanova had begun work on the follow-up to the Sueño Electro albums. In an interview with Terra TV, the group confirmed that they had started writing and recording new material, focusing on dance music. For the first time in its history, the band worked with other musicians in writing songs for the album, including Jay de la Cueva of the Mexican band Moderatto. Denisse Guerrero reiterated that the album is "a step up and more geared toward dance". The band also confirmed Armando Ávila is one of the producers working on the new album after having worked together on the Sueño Electro albums.

Canciones para la luna was revealed as the album title in an interview with El Universal in September 2013. The live album was released digitally on October 8, 2013, for free download in Mexico in partnership with Pepsi Mexico. The album is a compilation of hits from past albums that with new arrangements and performed along a symphony and guest musicians. It also features two new songs, also performed live: "Juegos De Amor" and "Sólo Dos." The album was recorded before a live audience on September 2 in Mexico City. Several songs recorded at this performance are not included in the digital release. It is currently unknown if they will be released. "Sólo Dos" was released as the first single on October 8.

Other projects
Denisse Guerrero worked with Mexican electronic band Sussie 4 on their album Música Moderna, singing on the tracks "Suite Tropical" and "Escapar". The band worked with Aleks Syntek on the song "Laberinto", which appears on Syntek's album Lección de Vuelo, as well as with the Mexican band Moenia on the track "Me Equivoqué" from their album "Solar". In 2010, Denisse Guerrero sang with the Mexican band Panda for their feature on MTV Unplugged, on the song "Sistema Sanguineo Fallido." The band participated in the second volume of a tribute album to the Mexican band Caifanes, which was released in 2011, recording a cover version of the song "Viento". Belanova provided music for a television ad campaign promoting Wella Latin America with TV ads airing upon the release of their third album "Fantasía Pop". In 2009, the songs "Yo Nunca Vi Televisión" and "Oye Tweety!" were recorded for the promotion of the Chilean TV show "31 Minutos" and a campaign involving the cartoon character Tweety Bird, respectively. During the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England, Belanova (as part of UMLE) partnered with Coca-Cola, recording a Spanish version of and video for the song "Anywhere in the World" as part of the promotional campaign.

Orphaned dab page that seems redundant with Guild Wars which includes a list of relevant topics. Ham Pastrami (talk) 10:59, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Totally pointless, as it only contains the Guild Wars series of games.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 08:31, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's a perfectly valid search term for someone who knows there are multiple installments in the Guild War series. Someone who just wants the individual games in the series shouldn't be forced to go to the series page when they don't want that. Patar knight - chat/contributions 23:40, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

My user name is a pseudonym as I wish to remain anonymous at present. Suffice it to say, I have been an avid fan of medicine and especially neurology for over two decades. Since most of the subsections are empty, I'd like to get the ball rolling in neurology in order to refine my thinking and share some knowledge. Some of the entries will be basic knowledge. Perhaps starting with some definitions and principles will attract attention to the site and allow it to grow quickly. Some of my interests go beyond the basic categories and I fully intend to expose them to the readership to stimulate interest and learn.GCoateStar
