Kibz - Kenya - GDP 2.65 Billion - Base Salary: KES 24 Million = 42,857 - GDP Per Capita (PPP) ,200So Kibz base salary is 286x the Per Capita GDP for Kenyans!Bush - USA - GDP 2,470 Billion - Base Salary: KES 28 Million = 00,000 - GDP Per Capita (PPP) 2,000Bush’ base salary is 9.5x the Per Capita GDP for Americans!So Kibz will make 86% of what the US Prez makes but the USA Prez presides over an economy that is 76600% larger than Kenya’s!Kenya’s GDP is LESS than 1% of the USA’s GDP…

Among other information, he includes this, which I found startling:I couldn’t find any industry-wide data [for classical new releases], but I looked at Deutsche Grammaphon’s catalog to tally their number of releases each year. Those are just the ones that the ARG reviewers felt were worth reviewing.I’m inferring that these are all classical recordings.As I suggested in my original post, I imagine that as the major labels have been bought by companies more interested in profit than mission, so that the model using some mega-sellers to subsidize smaller-sellers has nearly vanished, there’s an enormous increase in performer-produced recordings on small labels. CD Baby and other online distributors have tons of interesting self-produced classical recordings.I imagine the next big boom in major-label new ecording of traditional classical repertoire will come when there is some new technology that is a big step forward from digital stereo (CDs, MP3s, Itunes, etc.).

By Tarryn Le Chat06 December 2006Sexual abuse or rape makes up a staggering 15 percent of domestic violence cases.Twenty-five percent of these cases include forced sex in front of children according to UCT researcher Lillian Artz.At least 40 percent of domestic violence survivors have been threatened with death by their abusive partners or ex-partners in almost half these cases.A study found that four women a day were murdered by their intimate partners.

Array-ne O jogo teve sério risco de ser adiado. Uma chuva muito forte deixou o gramado com muitas poças de água, o que fez com que se mantivesse a dúvida sobre a realização do jogo até as 18h10min. Somente a essa hora que o árbitro decidiu dar condições de jogo, mas decidiu adiar o começo para as 18h30min. Gramado do Beira-Rio cerca de uma hora antes do jogo Em um gramado encharcado, o Inter foi a campo com o mesmo time que goleou o Pachuca por 4 a 0 e conquistou a Recopa e a Tríplice Coroa na última quinta-feira. Com o dilúvio que caiu sobre Porto Alegre, o jogo foi muito difícil para os dois times e teve poucas chances de gol no primeiro tempo. Atacante Wellington entrou no lugar de Iarley ainda no primeiro tempo Aos 40min50seg, o Inter abriu o placar. Foi o segundo gol do garoto no Brasileirão, o sétimo do artilheiro da temporada e o novo com a camisa colorada. Pato em ação contra o Santos O Santos tentou responder aos 42min30seg em um cruzamento de Kleber da esquerda que Marcos Aurélio cabeceou com perigo ao lado. Na etapa final, a chuva diminuiu, mas o campo seguiu muito encharcado, fazendo com que o panorama não se modificasse. O Santos tentou avançar em busca do empate, enquanto o Inter procurou marcar bem para garantir o resultado.

Early next morning I collected Min from Wisma Utara and we set off for Teluk Gong where we were due to meet Min’s family. At the start of the journey, Min seemed a bit solemn but fortunately no worse than that. My new driver impressed me not only with his careful driving but also with his calm and sympathetic tone when addressing Min.As we moved through the traffic I thought of what I had been writing in my diary the night before. How objective was it? I honestly couldn’t remember with one hundred per cent accuracy how each member of Min’s family had reacted to him on his return to his family home. I was not confident that I had recorded the conversations with total fairness and without error.I suspected that my diary, like many works of non-fiction, was full of selectivity, prejudice and opinion, as opposed to fact. Probably I selected the bits that put me in a good light; probably I failed to notice lots of significant things that happened.I suspect that if Min’s brother, Wardi, had written a diary of these events it would have contained some major differences of interpretation.Did the family want Min to continue for a bit longer at his school? Were they interested in moving to a house near Wisma Utara? I did not know. They had a Sundanese-Javanese way of being reluctant to voice their opinions, particularly to someone richer than themselves. Their ideas and attitudes were influenced not only by universal human nature but also by their own local world which I did not fully understand.Min perked up as we approached his home in the slums near the airport; he stood up in his seat and called out exultantly, Min, Min.We parked beside a vegetable stall, climbed out of the vehicle, and were met by Min’s big brother, Wardi, Min’s mother, Wati, Min’s two little brothers, Aldi, aged about eleven, and Itin, aged about five, and little sister Imah, aged about four. They had all put on their best clothes and were looking a bit ill at ease. It occurred to me that maybe they felt intimidated by people like me who arrived in big cars.How about a trip to Ragunan zoo in South Jakarta? I asked, after we had exchanged greetings.OK, said Wardi, with a touch of a smile. Wati nodded in approval.Have you been there before? I asked.No, Mr Kent. We have no money, explained Wardi.We crowded into my Mitsubishi van and set off down the narrow potholed street. Happy, almost jubilant, expressions began to appear on the faces of Wati, Wardi and Aldi as we were chauffeur-driven past bemused neighbours, barefoot children and skinny goats. The morning sun was shining brightly and I was happy to be having another adventure.As we drove towards the zoo in Pasar Mingu, I had lots of questions for Wardi and Wati. Where does your family come from originally? I inquired. Have you always lived in Jakarta?We used to live near Lamaya, said Wardi. It

Kevin Garnett – His days as the game’s clearcut #1 – or even #1 at all – are over. Kobe Bryant – I for one fully expect the tear to continue throughout the season as Kobe tries to will the Lakers into the playoffs and top MJ’s highest single season scoring average (37.1).5.

A Question of Sanity: 100 Things About Me (since you’re all dying to know)

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Array In highly dense areas, you need less track and less energy to transport the same number of people as in less dense areas, and this is what makes public transportation economically feasible. But as long as they refuse to allow this skyward growth, the city will continue to grow outward, and it will be less and less economically viable to maintain public transit, as it will be less convenient for riders (which means fewer riders) and it will be more expensive to transport each individual rider, because the distance they’ll need to travel will be further.Madisonians, you can have your beautiful view and clogged roads or you can obscure your view and have fewer cars on the road, but you are a big city now, and you can’t have both.(Cross posted at Jiblog)

This is why no peaceful resolution is in the cards for the MidEast.The Book of Ezekiel in the Old Testament is an amazing book, in that it details the entire history of the Jewish people in the MidEast, all the way from ancient Judea and Sumaria to the re-establishment of Israel as a state in 1948, to a short period of peace, to the worst war in the history of mankind taking place with Iran(Persia) the main opponent of Israel, but drawing in many dangerous and powerful world armies in support. Israel is preparing for a major offensive in Gaza within hours, and even an emergency visit by Secretary Of State, Condoleezza Rice, has been probably fruitless to stop this escalation into further violence and no peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Instead with Iraq, Afghanistan and a deterioration into chaos in Israel, and an Iran intent on nuclear weapons, the MidEast will only sink into further dark clouds of war.The dance between the government of Israel and the Palestinians may go on a little longer.

But we’re not writing a book here, so let’s leave free will and the Divine Being’s encouragement of independent thought to the side for the moment.)The interesting thing is, submission is a thing women are a lot better at than men. Because our brains are more efficient when it comes to double-tasking, and our bodies are ultimately the stronger of the two sexes when it comes to the stamina stakes?The interesting thing is, the submission of women is often treated as a lesser achievement than the submission of men. It reminds one of the anthropological theory that all male coming-of-age rituals (even those not as blatant as adult circumcision) are a societal means of making men feel the equal of the women, whose coming of age is marked and unequivocal.Most women I know are quietly, privately, sometimes even unconsciously aware that they have what men strive for. (In a very small way, this was the impetus behind the Russell books, following a young woman in the process of discovering that the scorned “women’s intuition” may be precisely the same thing as the much-vaunted deductive process of a great mind.) Women secretly suspect they they are stronger than men in all the ways that count. Even younger women laugh among themselves at the preening exercises of their male peers.One begins to wonder if a lot of religious doctrine isn’t just a way of encouraging men to be more like women.

He continued triumphantly, quoting the Koran (3:112/ 2:61).The words of the Koran on this matter are true: “They [the Jews] will be humiliated wherever they are found, unless they are protected under a covenant with Allah, or a covenant with another people. Their covenant with America is the strongest possible in the U.S., but it is weaker than they think, and one day their covenant with the [American] people will be cut off………As a central anti-Jewish motif, the Koran decrees an eternal curse upon the Jews (Koran 2:61/ 3:112) for slaying the prophets and transgressing against the will of Allah. The related verse, 5:64, accuses the Jews—as Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas did in a January 2007 speech, citing Koran 5:64—of being “spreaders of war and corruption”, a sort of ancient Koranic antecedent of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.From the advent of Islam, dehumanizing Jews as apes (Koran 2:65/7:166), or apes and pigs (Koran 5:60) transcended any mere application to “Sabbath breakers.”

Aristotle wrote on happiness, and I will summarize his main points briefly:· Nobody agrees what happiness actually is (and therefore what good actions are), but for the sake of argument, Aristotle uses “what is obvious or moral” Aristotle deals with the tricky matter of whether happiness is an end in itself or a means to good. Finally, our reading concludes that the contemplative life is the ultimate happiness (p.86).Aristotle’s argument is so beautifully written and so logically laid out, that it is possible to get swept away in its conclusions without questioning some of his basic assumptions. 4) extremes are vices and the mean is virtue and 5) happiness should be our ultimate goal.The essence of human nature has been studied by scientists for centuries, and still there is no agreement about the nature of human goodness. If suffering is necessary (such as Christ’s atonement) for happiness to shine, then according to Aristotle, suffering could also been understood as good.Aristotle has an unhealthy notion of the hierarchy of happiness when he writes on page 64, “the common run of people and the most vulgar identify [happiness] with pleasure,” I think pleasure, including bodily pleasure (associated with women as well as lower classes), should be considered part of the whole of happiness and not a lower subset. We need to learn to overcome the divide that has kept us from a holistic understanding of happiness based on centuries of sexist and classist assumptions.Finally, I would like to say a word for ecstasy and extremes. In fact, those experiences on the extremes of emotional life are similar to Plato’s description of the Sun outside the cave (p.57).I don’t know of a case of edge dancing bringing happiness.

O governador Eduardo Campos (PSB) assinou ontem um decreto que interditou 72 escolas estaduais por risco de desabamento.As reformas das unidades custarão cerca de R$ 21 milhões, e as obras devem ficar prontas em até 90 dias.A medida foi tomada após levantamento feito por uma empresa de engenharia constatar que as 72 escolas apresentam graves problemas estruturais e estão sob risco iminente de desabar.Pernambuco tem 1.105 escolas estaduais e cerca de 1 milhão de alunos nos ensinos fundamental e médio.Segundo o governo, desde o início do ano, o teto de seis escolas -três na região metropolitana e três no interior- desmoronou por problemas na estrutura e por causa do excesso de chuva.

El hecho de que haya cada vez menos entidades en pérdidas refleja la continua mejora que ha registrado la banca en España en los últimos años, que ha llevado al conjunto del sector a terminar el 2005 con beneficios históricos.Las entidades individuales ganaron un total de 7.621 millones de euros, en tanto que los grupos consolidados consiguieron unos beneficios de 12.334 millones - por primera vez, por encima de los dos billones de las antiguas pesetas-.En la reducción de las entidades en pérdidas también influye el hecho de que la mayoría de los bancos por internet ha salido en los últimos dos años de los números rojos y ha empezado a ganar dinero, aunque no en grandes cuantías.Fuente: La Vanguardia - 03/04/06Enviado por : Maximiliano (maximilianot20032003@yahoo.com)—————–Publicado por : Cristian Stival, Director de www.proactivos.com
