Beginning in 1998, Moi attempted to influence the country's succession politics to have Uhuru Kenyatta elected in the upcoming 2002 elections.

# A look at Kenya's elections history since independence in 1964

### Kenyans go to the polls on August 8, 2017 to elect their fifth president since independence in 1964.

The main contenders are the sons of the country's first president and vice president Jomo Kenyatta and Jaramogi Oginga Odinga respectively.

Incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga are going head-to-head in the elections together with six other candidates including Mohamed Abduba Dida, John Ekuru Longoggy Aukot, Shakhalaga Khwa Jirongo, Japhet Kavinga Kaluyu, Michael Wainaina Mwaura, and Joseph William Nthiga Nyagah.

Meet the eight candidates for Kenya's 2017 presidential elections

Kenya Votes 2017: Have a look at the electoral system

We take a look at Kenya's elections history since its independence in 1964.

The Kenyan African population voted for the first time in 1957 during the country's legislative elections.

The first elections in the British colony took place in 1920.

They voted for eight African seats in the parliament which previously had 14 seats for Europeans, six seats for Indians, one for Arabs and six seats appointed for the Africans.

The first universal suffrage was held in 1961 and pre-independence political party the Kenya African National Union (KANU) won majority of seats in the expanded 65-seat parliament despite the European dominance.

In the 1963 elections, the system was changed again and seats were increased to 129 House of Representatives and a 38-seat Senate.

KANU won majority seats and the country saw its first African Prime Minister in the person of Jomo Kenyatta.

This led to independence in 1964 and Kenyatta became the first President.

Kenya was established as a republic in December 1964, and Kenyatta was elected Kenya's first president the same month.

A disagreement between the president and his first vice president led to the withdrawal of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga from Kenyatta's KANU party in 1966, and the formation of the rival Kenya People's Union (KPU) party together with his supporters in parliament.

This entrenched the ethnic divisions along party lines with the Kikuyu majority behind KANU and Luo behind KPU.

A by-election was held that year after a constitutional amendment to allow the breakaway KPU to stand for elections.

KPU won majority of votes but KANU won majority of seats.

The Senate was abolished subsequently and the House of Representatives transformed into the National Assembly.

Kenya was transformed into a one-party state in 1969 and KPU was banned leaving KANU as the only party that won all seats in 1969, 1974, 1979, 1983 and 1988 elections led by Kenyatta.

Kenyatta died in office in 1978 and the presidency was continued by his vice president Daniel arap Moi who became the second president.

In 1992, President Moi restored multiple party politics after democratic pluralism swept through Africa.

President Daniel arap Moi won the 1997 elections and groomed current president Uhuru Kenyatta to take over the presidency and continue his father's legacy in 2002.

Moi stood down in 2002 for Uhuru Kenyatta to stand.

He led KANU to its first defeat to an opposition coalition led by Mwai Kibaki.

The coalition fell apart and Uhuru backed Kibaki to win the 2007 elections against rival Raila Odinga who had unsuccessfully contested for the first time in 1997 after he returned from exile to take part in the country's multi-party politics.

Odinga supported Kibaki in the 2002 elections as part of the opposition coalition until they fell out after the polls.

The 2007 elections saw some 1,300 people killed and more than 600,000 displaced after violence that saw Uhuru Kenyatta and his running mate William Ruto indicted by the International Criminal Court in 2011 for incitement of the ethnic violence against Odinga's supporters.

The charges were dropped against Kenyatta in December 2014 and against Ruto in April 2016 due to lack of evidence.

The post-election violence brought forth the 2008 National Accord and Reconciliation Act.

This made Odinga the first Prime Minister since 1964, and Uhuru his deputy.

Elections were held in 2013 under the new constitution in 2010 that was approved after a referendum.

Uhuru Kenyatta defeated Raila Odinga, whose party won the most seats in the National Assembly.

Uhuru is running again in 2017 for his second term against Raila Odinga who has been unsuccessful in 1997, 2007 and 2013.

Kenya's Supreme Court cancelled the August 8, 2017 presidential election on September 1, 2017 citing electoral irregularities after accusation of fraud by the opposition National Super Alliance (NASA) party led by Raila Odinga.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) set October 26 for the repeat election which will be participated by all the candidates, according to a court order, except Cyrus Jirongo who was recently declared bankrupt by a court.

Raila Odinga has vowed to withdraw from the repeat elections amid protests calling for reforms at the IEBC and postponement of the re-run polls.

History.:Birth of multiparty politics and the demise of Moi era.

Following the skirmishes in the aftermath of the 1992 multiparty elections, 5,000 people were killed and a further 75,000 others displaced from their homes. In the next five years, many political alliances were formed in preparation for the next elections. In 1994, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga died and several coalitions joined his FORD Kenya party to form a new party called United National Democratic Alliance. However, this party was plagued with disagreements. In 1995, Richard Leakey formed the Safina party, but it was denied registration until November 1997.
 In 1996, KANU revised the constitution to allow Moi to remain president for another term. Subsequently, Moi stood for re-election and won a 5th term in 1997. His win was strongly criticised by his major opponents, Kibaki and Odinga as being fraudulent. Following this win, Moi was constitutionally barred from vying for another presidential term at the end of his term.

# At Passion 2019, students raise $400G to translate Bible for deaf people across world

Thousands of college students gather at Passion 2019 to help raise money to reach nations and people that have never heard the gospel before.

Almost 40,000 college students banded together at the Passion 2019 conference this year to help spread the gospel to those who don't currently have access to it.

Brad Jones, global ambassador for Passion conferences, told Fox News that thousands of young people, ages 18 to 25, gathered for three days in four different locations for teaching and worship.

"In the last week, people have gathered for football games and holiday celebrations," Jones said.

"During Passion 2019, 40,000 college students and leaders gathered under one name—the name of Jesus.

Passion is more than an event; we exist to see this generation live for what matters most—for us, that's the fame of Jesus."

Brad Jones, global ambassador for Passion conferences, speaking at Passion 2019.

In past years, Passion students have raised $8.3 million to fight modern-day slavery through Passion and the END IT Movement.

This year, they wanted to add a new initiative.

The students raised $448,370 for the Deaf Bible Society, DBS, as part of Hope in Every Language, a campaign that helps fund and distributes translations of the stories of Jesus into the unique sign language to areas that haven't been reached.

Through the funds, partner organizations will translate the stories of Jesus from the New Testament into the unique sign languages in the following countries: Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Moldova, Egypt, Ghana, South Africa, Tanzania, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Japan and Russia.

Thousands of students gathered at Passion 2019 to raise money to help spread the gospel to people who've never heard it before.

For 70 million people worldwide, sign language is the first or only language they know and use daily, according to DBS.

During the presentation, the "Chicago Tribune"'s Steve Johnson wrote that "The Random Years" was another "conventional sitcom about still more New Yorkers in their early 20s". Scott Sandell of the "Los Angeles Times" compared the show's premise to the sitcom "Seinfeld" due to their shared focus on "nothing". He likened Wiseman to Cosmo Kramer, a character from "Seinfeld".

# Birthday Special: Sunidhi Chauhan's journey from a singer to a rockstar TV judge

## Sunidhi Chauhan's successful musical journey may appear to be a seamless series of ups, but the fact is, it has had her battle both known and unknown demons.

I'm happiest when I'm singing, says Sunidhi Chauhan

She sits gazing at the Juhu beach from her suite's big French window--a scene reminiscent of the classic Hindi movies from the 1970s.

Apart from the occasional clink of the coffee mugs, there's just the sound of the makeup brushes being shuffled...

a comfortable silence envelops the space.

She lets the makeup artiste take her time.

'How do you manage to stay so calm?' I ask the "singing sensation".

The 31-year-old self-made singer (yes, she has no formal training) looks at me in disbelief.

There are like a million thoughts in my mind every second!'

Just when you think that she's a reserved, no-nonsense kind of person, she cracks a joke or breaks into a song, just like that.

Initially she appears shy and guarded, but opens up slowly; and on stage, we all know what an electrifying entertainer she is.

For the most part, she's a seasoned singer who is in love with her art... and only too happy in her own company.

At the same time, she's a natural in her bubbly persona in The Voice India, an ongoing singing reality show on television where she's one of the coaches.

Sunidhi is equally at ease speaking in both Hindi and English.

Her responses are pruned to perfection - not a word short, not a word extra.

It's strange how she manages to be restrained yet expressive; measured yet lively.

## Sunidhi Chauhan is full of surprises.

Just when you think that she's a reserved, no-nonsense kind of person, she cracks a joke or breaks into a song.

TURNING THE CLOCK BACKSunidhi's father is from UP but she grew up in Delhi.

Her mother and sister, Suneha (16 months younger), are homemakers - the siblings live a few minutes away from each other in Mumbai.

'Between my father who gave up everything to support me, and my sister, who is my biggest critic, I had the perfect balance at home!' she recalls.

Music was a part of Sunidhi's growing up years - her father liked to sing and her mother and sister appreciated good music.

By the time she was five, it was clear that she loved singing, and the typically proud Indian parents would often call her to sing for house guests at family get-togethers.

Sunidhi's father Dushyant Chauhan, was a theatre personality and had a discerning friend circle who spotted the little girl's talent early on.

With the love and appreciation that came her way, Sunidhi had all the freedom to spend her time and effort on fine-tuning her skills.

'I started to slowly lose interest in studies.

I just wanted to singâ€¦so any opportunity that'd come my way, I'd just lap it up,' declares the fiery Leo.

The family moved to Mumbai when Tabassum (a popular TV anchor of the 1990s), who first heard Sunidhi sing at a show in Delhi, spoke to Sunidhi's father and convinced him of the success that awaited his daughter in Mumbai.

Her father, who'd been essaying the role of Shri Ram for the Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra's annual Ram Lila, for the past 12 years, decided to pack everything up and relocate - Sunidhi was just 10 then.

Says Sunidhi: 'It was such a brave decision.

My father had little savings and we didn't have any relations or contacts.

It must have been scary but my dad feared nothing...

Somehow the family managed to find a small footing in the vast metropolis.

Today, the daughter attributes a big part of her success to her father who even accompanied her for concerts and recordings.

She also credits her dad for her voice - 'The power in my voice, I get that from him.

In his Ram Lila days, he'd say his dialogues and sing to a large crowd - without a mike!'

## Music was a part of Sunidhi's growing up years.

in Mumbai, 11-year-old Sunidhi enrolled in the acclaimed music composer duo Kalyanji and Anandji's academy - Tabassum had already put in a word.

She had called Kalyanji to tell him that she was sending him a "birthday present".

Sunidhi lived up to the expectations - she soon became the star performer of the academy's troupe Little Wonders.

Luckily for her, she didn't have to go through the "struggler" period - knocking at every big music composer's door to ask for singing assignments.

I was too young at the time to meet people or talk about my career.

So I just hung out with dad and played like a tape-recorder when asked

Turns out, it worked like a charm, with Sunidhi bagging her first offer to sing in the film Shastra (1996) when she was all of 11.

Then, two years later, she participated in the first-ever singing reality show on Doordarshan called Meri Awaz Suno (1996).

Her phenomenal range and flawless rendering led to the 13-year-old emerging a winner.

She received the prestigious trophy from the legendary Lata Mangeshkar and also won an opportunity to cut her first album with HMV.

But sadly, the album Aira Gaira Nathu Khaira did not do justice to this versatile singer - it was promoted as a children's album, a disappointment for Sunidhi and her family; it wasn't the kind of launch they had hoped for.

But they rallied on, and Sunidhi met Sonu Nigam who recommended her to Sandeep Chowta (he was then working as the music director for Ram Gopal Varma's Mast).

This was the turning point of her career.

Within the next two weeks, Sunidhi was signed to lend her voice to the film where she sang the title track along with the more popular Ruki Ruki Si Zindagi.

She tasted success - and it was as sweet as she had imagined it - by the time she turned 19, she had recorded almost 350 songs.

Garnering celebrity status at a fairly young age, did the child artiste feel that she was missing out on the regular - school, friends, childhood?

Music was what I wanted to do and it's what I did.

I'm happiest when I'm singing,' she says with a smile.

"TOO MUCH" LIMELIGHTWith success came the unwanted peeks into her private life - the bane of every celebrity.

Today, with almost two decades of experience behind her, she is better equipped to handle the paparazzi but even now, says with distaste: 'People just love to talk - without thinking how it may affect somebody's life or emotions.

They're so unhappy in their own lives that they like to project it on to you.'

Her initial years in the industry were difficult in this regard and the fact that she was very young at the time didn't help.

'The real struggle began when I became slightly famous.

The problem is that people in this industry love to typecast...

it was difficult to convince them to take me seriously.'

This however was just a small stumbling block before she had a body of work that could speak for itself.

She is one of the few who has had the chance to work alongside industry's bigwigs including A R Rahman, Vishal-Shekhar, Shankar Ehsaan Loy, Pritam and Jatin Lalit.

While giving top-of-the-charts performances year after year, she has won herself a long list of awards.

In 2000, she won the RD Burman Award For The Most Promising Newcomer.

Six years later, another Filmfare award followed for her record-breaking Beedi Jalaile (Omkara).

The year 2008 was quite happening as well - she sang the year's top hits

In 2011, she became a rage with Sheila Ki Jawani (Tees Maar Khan) which also got her the Filmfare Best Playback Singer (Female) award.

Just last year, she added another big to her collection, the Dadasaheb Phalke award for Kamli (Dhoom 3).

No emotion - heartbreak, romance, lust, longing, anger, and freedom has been left untouched through the course of her singing career.

Also, Sunidhi does not believe in stopping at her home ground.

Not only has she sung for films in various Indian languages (Marathi, Gujarati, Oriya, Nepali, Bengali, Assamese and Punjabi) but her collaboration with international artistes including Enrique Igelsias, Pitbull and Alicia Keys indicates her talent in the Western music genre too.

## Sunidhi is one of the few who has had the chance to work alongside industry's bigwigs including A R Rahman, Vishal-Shekhar, Shankar Ehsaan Loy, Pritam and Jatin Lalit.

MIXED MELODIESSunidhi's maturity belies her age - her persona is that of someone who you can count on for sound advice.

Yes, she has had her impulsive moments; she has been torn apart by self-doubt, but it's a thing of the past now.

When she was 18, she fell in love with choreographer and director Bobby Khan who she met while the two worked on the album Pehla Nasha.

Family drama ensued when she conveyed her intentions of marrying Bobby - her parents disowned her and the media reveled in juicy details of the private marriage ceremony that was attended by only close family and friends.

What started off as a match made in heaven, with Sunidhi calling her ex-husband's family "supportive" and Bobby, a "darling", hit choppy waters soon after.

A year later, the differences between the two became irreconcilable and they decided to part ways - Sunidhi maintained a dignified silence throughout.

In retrospect, she thinks the marriage didn't work because she let her emotional side completely take over the rational - 'I didn't really understand the practicalities of life then,' she says.

'Noâ€¦ I hope that even in my next birth, in some or the other way, something like that happens again because it makes you wiser and stronger.'

One would assume that it's difficult to come out of a divorce unscathed and love again.

However, Sunidhi did just this - she consciously put the past behind her, reached out to her parents and opened her heart and life to love again.

But this time, she did one thing differently - she took her time.

Her husband of three years, Hitesh Sonik, is a childhood friend.

They met at recordings - Hitesh is a music director and has worked on a host of Vishal Bharadwaj films.

Only when the two were convinced that they were right for each other, after a two-year-long courtship, did they decide to tie the knot.

Says Sunidhi: 'I just have one thing to say - Hitesh and I are like two friends staying together.

We don't think of each other as typical husband and wife...just two people who enjoy each other's company.'

Hitesh for his part has been equally appreciative of his wife and has said, on more than one occasion, that he sees Sunidhi first for the wonderful person that she is - and yes, the fact that she also has a voice to die for, is the cherry on top.

Sunidhi's revamped self (she lost 20 kg) in The Voice India, is something to be admired.

One wonders if the inspiration to get fit struck as an epiphany...

'Well, I perform on stage so I needed to feel light; feel confident.

I wasn't happy with the way I was looking.

I had put on weight after I got married because I wanted to.

But it crept up so sneakily - before I knew it, I had put on 20kg!

She makes sure she works out at the gym every day or goes for a jog; follows a healthy diet; eats on time and sleeps as much as she can.

However, she does have one well-kept secret that she claims makes all the difference: 'I try to feel happy.

Often it's not as much about wrong eating habits as it's about negative thoughts that pull you down.

Start by spending at least half an hour just by yourself.

Think of all the nice things you are blessed with before you go to bed, hit the gym... do anything that gives you real happiness.

Think about it, 30 minutes in a day is nothing - we spend that much time just flipping through TV channels!'

Rediff.com » Movies » Sunidhi Chauhan: I would love to act

'I was offered a few roles but they were of singers.

I refused them because I don't want to play myself.

I would love to portray a common person with an ordinary character,' Sunidhi Chauhan tells Rediff contributor Rajul Hegde.

Tired of listening to below average singers on TV's reality shows?

Bollywood's top playback singer Sunidhi Chauhan promises that The Voice India -- the newest singing reality show starting on June 6 -- will feature only the BEST!

"I am proud to say that on The Voice, you will only find good singers.

It will start from good to excellent," Sunidhi assures.

Sunidhi is one of the coaches along with Himesh Reshammiya, Shaan and Mika Singh on The Voice India, on &TV.

"Nothing excited me to come back to a reality show.

But I follow the international show The Voice and I love it," Sunidhi, who was a judge for Indian Idol seasons 5 and 6, says.

There will be blind auditions in which the coaches will pick contestants without seeing them.

The format of music reality shows has changed from the time when Sunidhi won Meri Awaz Suno way back in 1996.

"The voting system has evolved and TRPs also matter," she explains.

"But I am a part of this reality show because it's only about the voice.

Also, all four of us coaches know each other very well.

The versatile singer, who has lost loads of weight and will look glamorous on the show, says she feels fit and healthy.

"One day I decided to go to the gym and eat healthy.

I am wearing everything which I couldn't wear when I was fat.

I like to stay fit and love wearing classy clothes," she says.

"I love samosas and jalebis, they are my weaknesses.

Sunday is my cheat day and I have everything that I feel like eating," she smiles.

Sunidhi does not rule out acting in the near future.

He did Ram Leela for 12 years and he was fantastic, so it's always been on my mind.

"I would love to act if the right role is offered to me.

I was offered a few roles but they were of singers so I refused them because I don't want to play myself.

I would love to portray a common person with an ordinary character."

Actresses like Alia Bhat, Shraddha Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra have turned singers.

"There is a lot of freedom in the industry and a person can do anything.

Music is not about feeling jealous or fighting.

I love their voices and wish them all the best.

"Kathra muje agar kisi singer se nahi hai toh inlogo se kya hoga?

(If I don't feel threatened by singers, why would I feel threatened by these people?)

I appreciate other people's work because I get to learn a lot from them," says the songstress.

Which actress does she think her voice suits the best?

"I really don't know, but people say it fits well for Priyanka Chopra.

In the beginning, people said it was for Urmila Matondkar."

The Voice India will be telecast at 9pm on weekends, on &TV.

Known for experimenting with her style and image, Chauhan's music and fashion sense are noted by the media. In 2010, while she appeared a judge in the "Indian Idol (Season 5)", her look was discussed in the media; Rediff.com considered her wardrobe sense a "real shame" considering that she is "young", "slim" and "pretty". However, "Mid Day" praised her style in the show for "dressing in normal clothes" while compared to other judges, though they mentioned that "her hairstyle changes too often for our liking". Prior to "Indian Idol", Chauhan's face was not so familiar with the public and according to her, people imagined her to be a "30 to 40 years old woman in a sari", while she is "dressed casually in denims and a tee". Reportedly, during a concert in Kolkata, the local people did not recognise her when she entered the venue, until the host introduced her to them.
 After Chauhan got married in 2012, she had put on weight of about 20 kg. During the time, she was getting breathless on stage and wanted to get fit, as she had to perform at concerts and regular shows. Besides, she likes "glamorous" outfits which she feels uncomfortable wearing with too much weight.


Gigi Hozimah (born 15 February 1982 in Mecca, Saudi Arabia) is a film director from Saudi Arabia.

(meta data) TITLE: Roll Credits: Saudi Film Makers 2016 | Destination KSA

Regional Editorial Manager at Destination Riyadh

Early 2015, the Saudi Film Festival in Dammam served as a platform for emerging documentarists and before the year ended, we were in virtual standing ovation as Saudi shorts and movies shone during the Dubai International Film Festival.

Here's a look at the Saudi filmmakers to watch out for.

##### Mohammed Al Turki – The Hollywood Top Cat

At 29, Al Turki is one of the few Saudi film producers who have broken into Hollywood.

"99 Homes," one of his most recent ventures as an executive producer, has received critical acclaim on top of getting a 91 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Al Turki also produced "Time out of Mind," which premiered late last year and starred Richard Gere—the movie has also received much praise and favorable reviews.

Outside of Hollywood, Al Turki is heavily involved in charitable works and joining discussions that bridge the gap between the east and the west, taking lead from his father, Sheikh Abdulaziz Al Turki, a well-known Saudi philanthropist.

A true blue Jeddahwi, Shahad Ameen has been creating a buzz in the regional and international film festival circuit when she debuted her short film entitled, "Eye and Mermaid."

The short won the Silver Palm during the Saudi Film Festival, premiered at the Dubai International Film Festival as well as the Toronto Film Festival.

The plot is a fantasy drama and has a touch of magical realism as it tells the story of a girl who adores black pearls and how she discovers the sad ways her father uses to extract them from mermaids.

Ameen, whose formal education centered on video production and screenwriting has struck the right notes with "Eye and Mermaid," a full-length feature entitled "Scales" is being adapted from the story and is underdevelopment through the support of the Hazawi Fund by the Doha Film Institute.

We had interviewed Saudi director, Ayman Jamal early last year and since then, "Bilal," the full feature CG animated feat he co-directed, has been screened in the Dubai International Film Festival.

As expected, the film has been raved about for having amazing visual aesthetics – the animation is nothing short of top notch.

Based on the real life story of Bilal Ibn Rabah, the $30 million movie is considered the first of its kind in the region.

Jamal is currently working on another movie, now centering on the life of an influential musician during the Islamic era in Spain.

Saudi director Gigi Hozimah is the first of her generation (that we've heard of) who is creating a horror film.

The first glimpse of "They Sleep with Bears" confirms Hozimah's inclination towards art and high concept films.

It is dark, eerie and has the makings of a psychological thriller that will have a cult following.

The movie is produced under the independent company she co-founds, Look at the Wall Productions.

Based on the latest update, "They Sleep with Bears" has been financed through crowdfunding site, Kickstarter.


In 2018, My Brightest Diamond announced that they have a new album which is set to be released, and the entire album is co-produced by The Twilite Tone

(meta data) TITLE: Bio — My Brightest Diamond

Shara Nova, a classically trained vocalist and self-taught multi-instrumentalist who records dazzling, shapeshifting music as My Brightest Diamond, has always felt like an outsider.

Over the course of four groundbreaking albums, she has resisted the conventions of genre, blending elements of rock, art pop, and chamber music into a sound totally her own.

While fiercely independent, she like everyone else, still desires connectedness.

This tension is at the core of her new album—A Million And One—where she has once again reinvented herself.

Shara always knew she wanted to be a musician.

She grew up in a family of traveling evangelicals, and together they crisscrossed the country, her father leading church choirs and her mother playing organ.

When Shara was a teenager, they settled in a city outside Detroit.

It was the early '90s, and hip-hop and soul were on the airwaves.

Shara listened to everything from Run DMC to Stevie Wonder to Anita Baker and K C & the Sunshine Band.

After studying opera, she moved to New York City, where she formed My Brightest Diamond in 2006, releasing her critically acclaimed debut album, Bring Me The Workhorse.

A Million And One sprung from a period of personal transformation for Shara.

It comes just four years after her marriage came to an end.

(Literally: Nova translates to 'new' in Latin.)

And was written during a time that Detroit was going through a rebirth of its own.

Shara returned to Michigan in 2008 and settled in Detroit, a city whose rich musical legacy—from Motown to the White Stripes—has always been an animating force for her.

This time around, she sought to honor the city with music of her own.

A Million And One is an homage to the sounds of Detroit, a love letter of sorts, but also a visceral trip backwards in time, to Shara's formative teen years.

"The album examines the quest for my individuality and the search for a deeper relationship to my body, my neighbors, and to the planet," she says.

Each gem-like song is distinct, from the anthemic opener "It's Me on the Dance Floor," to the techno-infused "Supernova," which calls to mind the work of pioneering Detroit producer Carl Craig.

"You Wanna See My Teeth," is a twisting, searing meditation on the death of Trayvon Martin.

The album's ten tracks represent a departure from the lush instrumentation of My Brightest Diamond's previous work and into leaner, more raw territory, with beats and synths.

Shara produced the album with the help of The Twilite Tone (Common, Gorillaz, Kanye West) and it was mixed by Andrew Scheps (Adele, Lana Del Rey, Beyoncé).

Anchoring each song is the relationship between Shara's vocals and drums from Earl Harvin (Seal, Sam Smith).

Reborn free of ornament, Shara's voice has never been more vulnerable—or more powerful.

In 2013, Tone contributed on the tracks "MILF" and "Mona Lisa" on Big Sean’s second album, "Hall of Fame", released by GOOD Music and Def Jam Recordings. He also produced "Who Do We Think We Are" and "What If I Told You (Interlude)" on John Legend’s Grammy-nominated album Love in the Future. Continuing on his GOOD Music stretch, Tone contributed to Pusha T's "Nosetalgia" featuring Kendrick Lamar, from the album "My Name Is My Name".
 In 2015, Tone produced "Put the Guns Down"" a posse cut that inspired the city's youth to end gun violence in Chicago with an all-star cast featuring Common, King Louie, G Herbo, Katie Got Bandz, Saba, Tree, No Name Gypsy, Mic Terror, and Nick Jr. of Treated Crew.
 In 2016, Tone was selected from a handful of names to produce the upcoming Gorillaz project. From a Skype chat with band members Damon Albarn and Remi Kabaka, and a two-week session in London, the chemistry between Tone and the band was inevitable. Tone is the producer along with Damon Albarn, of the 2017 Gorillaz LP, which features the first track " Hallelujah Money", that was leaked on inauguration eve of " President Trump". Tone is credited with production on all 19 of the albums tracks.


He competed in the men's 18 kilometre event at the 1928 Winter Olympics.

Germany and Turkey - A difficult relationship

# Berlin begins building memorial to victims of Nazi 'euthanasia'

Officials have gathered in Berlin to lay the foundations for a monument to the people killed as part of the Nazi "euthanasia" programs.

The symbolic site was chosen as it was the headquarters of the original project.

Building work began in Berlin on Monday for the city's fourth official monument to victims of Adolf Hitler's National Socialist government.

The planned exhibit at Tiergartenstrasse 4 in the capital will be dedicated to the victims of the "euthanasia" program used by the Nazis to kill those with physical or mental illnesses.

Hitler's Nazi regime killed more than 200,000 people who were either psychotherapy patients or physically disabled between January 1940 and August 1941.

## Nazi looted art cases remain unsolved mysteries

A prominent Oskar Kokoschka painting stolen by the Nazis is now to be returned to its rightful owners.

While provenance research has improved, a set of complex legal issues make such cases difficult to resolve.

The euthanasia program was run out of the same Tiergartenstrasse address and was even codenamed "T4."

A commemorative plaque has adorned the site since 1986.

The German minister for cultural state affairs, Bernd Neumann (pictured), attended the laying of the foundation stone on Monday, saying that the monument should set a sign "against hate, delusion and coldheartedness - and for tolerance, empathy and a respect for life."

The vice president of the lower house of German parliament, Wolfgang Thierse; the government's special representative for the disabled, Hubert Hüppe; and Berlin's senator for integration, Dilek Kolat, also attended the ceremony.

The planned monument will be a long, blue glass wall - designed by the architechts Ursula Wilms and Heinz W. Hallman, along with the artist Nikolaus Koliusis.

The federal government plans to contribute 500,000 euros ($643,200) to the project.

The finished site is tentatively scheduled for inauguration in the second half of 2014.

## Polish victims of Nazi terror need Berlin memorial, says historian28.09.2018

A call that a memorial to Polish World War II victims of Nazi Germany be erected in Berlin has been renewed by former Bundestag President Rita Süssmuth.

The initiative has the backing of some 100 prominent Germans.

Memorial to the Victims of National Socialist 'Euthanasia' Killings

This area has been reshaped to show the history of the location, while still allowing the city of Berlin to grow around it.
 A contest was held by the state of Berlin to determine what the memorial what it physically would be and who would construct it. The winning design was crafted by architect Ursula Williams and landscape architects Nikolaus Koliusis and Heinz W. Hallmann. Their design incorporated at 24-meter wall made of blue glass set in concrete. The glass allows visitors to see through it as they sit on a concrete bench or peer through while gazing up from the information point. The memorial provides information about history of the killings, how it is relevant today, and portraits of 10 victims. It was created to educate and allow visitors to reflect on the past it represents.
 The German lower house of parliament (German; Deutscher Bundestag) voted on the creation of the monument in November 2011 (c).

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia and Taiwan yesterday made a commitment to explore ways to further enhance bilateral economic relations and to overcome challenges between the two countries.

Through the 14th Malaysia-Taiwan Joint Economic Conference being held here starting yesterday, the two countries want to identify the focus areas for more dynamic collaborations and charting of an action plan to be pursued by them.

The National Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (NCCIM), which organised the one-day meeting, aims to increase two-way trade over 10 per cent by end-2013.

NCCIM president Datuk Syed Ali Alattas said an increase of over 10 per cent is the target which can be achieved as compared to the previous year which recorded a decline of 10 per cent in Taiwan's total investments in Malaysia.

"Taking 2011 as a benchmark, we are capable of improving the total investment.

I'm confident that we will achieve a 10 per cent increase by renewing and reactivating the cooperation between the two nations," he told reporters on the sidelines of the conference.

Syed Ali also said sectors that contribute to total trade are mainly electrical and electronics (50 per cent) while the rest are from oil and gas sector, steel, furniture and three new sectors, namely pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics.

Meanwhile, International Trade and Industry Deputy Minister Datuk Hamim Samuri said the small and medium enterprises should grab the opportunity to expand their businesses in Taiwan.

He said Taiwan is the eigth largest trading partner with Malaysia which contributed total investments of US$15.22 billion last year and US$12.16 billion between January and September this year.

"SMEs in Taiwan are adept in product design and brand development.

These are important areas where Malaysian SMEs can learn through business collaborations," he added.

The Malaysia-Taiwan Joint Economic Conference, which is held on a yearly basis, is a continuity of the 13th conference held in 2000.

The total trade between Taiwan and Malaysia has always increased, from $678.3 million in 1985 to $2.10 billion in 1990, and from $5.85 billion in 1995 to $7.26 billion in 1997. The total reached $9.48 billion in 2004, with Malaysian exports worth around $5.4 billion and Taiwanese exports at US$4 billion. In 2012, Malaysia was the 8th largest trading partner for Taiwan with the total trade amounted to $15.2 billion while Taiwan became the 10th largest foreign investor in Malaysia with the total investments worth around $2.0 billion. Most of the trade between the two countries was based on liquefied natural gas (LNGs) and electrical machinery and equipment.

TOKYO — The PSP is on a hot streak in Japan, and Sony is now celebrating 10 million units sold of its little portable that could.

The milestone was reached over the period covering the console's launch in Japan on December 12, 2004 until August 24, 2008.

Of course, in comparison, it took Nintendo DS just over one year to reach the same number in Japan.

We also get to see what the top five games are for the portable, with exact sales numbers for the same period.

As expected, a certain Capcom franchise overwhelms the list.

1. Monster Hunter 2nd G (Capcom) – 2,396, 642

2. Monster Hunter 2nd (Capcom) – 1,706,387

3. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (Square Enix) – 790,705

4. Monster Hunter Portable (Capcom) – 668,964

Phantasy Star Portable should reach the third spot by the end of the year, if trends continue.

"Crisis Core" sold 350,000 copies in Japan on its release date, including the 77,777 Limited Edition PSP/"Crisis Core" bundles. In November 2007, Square Enix announced that "Crisis Core" was its best-selling game across all regions from April through September, with 710,000 copies sold in Japan.


Its collection includes more than 5,000 regional and Canadian works and over 45,000 artifacts.

Museum London421 Ridout Street NorthLondon, ONN6A 5H4

Museum London is a multidisciplinary institution, housing and exhibiting works of historical art, contemporary art and historical artifacts.

The term 'museum' provides a comprehensive description of what we do and references the artifacts we exhibit as well as both historical and contemporary art (i.e. Museum of Modern Art, New York).

The term would refer only to art, disregarding the important historical aspect to our organization.

Museum London was established in 1940 and operated from the London Public Library until 1980 when the renowned Canadian architect Raymond Moriyama was commissioned to design its current home at the forks of the Thames River in downtown London, Ontario.

In 1989, the then London Regional Art Gallery amalgamated with the London Historical Museum creating what is known today as Museum London.

In the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation

community in particular, and our province

Museum London's activities are driven by a mandate to collect, preserve, exhibit and interpret the visual arts and local history.

We present a dynamic mix of interconnected exhibitions and programs that have both local and national relevance.

Our exhibitions and programs are often cross-disciplinary, augmented by interpretative material, publications, symposia, discussions, lectures, films or other events.

As such, they provide visitors with a range of interactive, interpretive experiences.

Museum London is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of 15 members elected from the general membership, artists and appointments from various stakeholder groups including the City of London, the London and Middlesex Historical Society and the Canadian Artists' Representation organization.

The Museum employs 18 full-time and 15 part-time staff members, and a group of 185 docents and volunteers who provide tours, staff the Museum shop, Muse Shop + Rental and develop numerous fundraising initiatives.

Museum London is an art and history museum located in London, Ontario, Canada, and for more than 70 years has preserved, interpreted and shared the story of London and Londoners.
 The museum is located near the forks of the Thames River, situated within the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Attawandaron (Neutral), and Wendat peoples and the homeland of the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, Oneida Nation of the Thames, and Munsee Delaware Nation. It started its operations in 1940 with London Public Library and amalgamated with London Regional Art Gallery and London Regional Historical Museum in 1989. The current building is designed by Raymond Moriyama, architect of Science North in Greater Sudbury, the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto and the National Museum of Saudi Arabia in Riyadh.


In January 2003, Shane Watson was ruled out following a stress fracture and was replaced by Ian Harvey.

Harvey was named as a late replacement after Shane Watson was confirmed as having a stress fracture in his back.

Gained valuable experience of South African conditions on last year's tour, but was overlooked for the recent home series against England and Sri Lanka.

Despite that, chief selector Trevor Hohns believes he has "the potential to be a match-winner" for Australia.

Harvey has excelled in one-day cricket at domestic level, especially for English county side Gloucestershire.

He made his international debut in December 1997 and although his performances have been unspectacular so far, he has never let Australia down.

Varies his pace intelligently with the ball, and is capable of useful runs in the lower middle order.

His belated selection offers compensation for missing out in 1999 when Tom Moody was preferred.

MANILA, Philippines — Air21 landed sparingly-used guard Joseph Yeo, and sent bigman Mark Isip to Petron in a trade approved by the PBA Commissioner's office on Thursday.

Yeo, a former La Salle standout who hasn't seen heavy minutes with the Blaze Boosters, reunites with his collegiate coach Franz Pumaren over at the Express' side.

Earlier this week, Air21 also acquired the rights to seasoned center and reigning Asean Basketball League MVP Asi Taulava from Meralco.

The 6-foot-4 Isip also joins his former Far Eastern University teammates Arwind Santos and Denok Miranda in Petron, which just clinched a twice-to-beat edge in the PBA Governors' Cup on Wednesday.

Yeo was drafted by the now-defunct Coca-Cola Tigers as third overall pick in 2006, just behind Kelly Williams and Arwind Santos. As a rookie, he played limited minutes as a reliever to Tiger's main-man John Arigo. Despite the limited playing time, he still managed to average 10 ppg, 4.6 rpg and 1.2 apg in 26 minutes per contest halfway into the elimination round of the 2006-07 PBA Philippine Cup. However, this did not stop critics from calling him a bust and attribute this to his lacking in size to play the two-spot.
 In 2007, he was traded, along with a future draft pick, to Sta. Lucia for former FEU forwards Mark Isip and Cesar Catli.  As a Realtor, he effectively played
his off-the-bench role, winding up as the team's second-best scorer behind Kelly Williams with a 13.5-point average, and became a vital cog of the team that won the 2007–08 PBA Philippine Cup.
 In 2010, he was dealt to San Miguel for Bonbon Custodio.  While playing for the Beermen, he spent most of his time on the bench and in the injured list, and did not play with the team that won the 2011 PBA Governors Cup Championship.
 During the midseason of 2013 PBA Governors Cup, he was shipped to Air21 Express in a one-on-one swap with Mark Isip.


It is named after Eugene Odum, renowned UGA biologist, the father of ecosystem ecology, and the founder of the Institute.

Eugene Odum (1913-2002) | New Georgia Encyclopedia

Betty Jean Craige, University of Georgia,

Through that textbook, which was translated into twelve languages, and through his many other books and articles, he led the way toward the study of nature in terms of ecosystems, and with his brother, the ecologist Howard Thomas Odum, powerfully influenced the development of ecosystem ecology.

Odum Eugene Odumwas born in Newport, New Hampshire, on September 17, 1913.

His parents, Anna Louise Kranz and Howard Washington Odum, were vacationing there to escape the summer heat of Athens, where the senior Odum served on the faculty of the University of Georgia.

Howard W. Odum later gained national prominence as a sociologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as founder of the journal Social Forces, and as one of the founders of the Southern Regional Council.

Eugene Odum grew up with his younger siblings, Mary Frances and Howard Thomas, in Chapel Hill, where he developed his lifelong interest in ornithology.

Eugene OdumHe obtained his A.B. and A.M. in zoology from the University of North Carolina in 1934 and 1936, respectively, and his Ph.D. in zoology, with a major in ecology, from the University of Illinois in 1939.

He married Martha Ann Huff in 1939, served the 1939-40 academic year as resident naturalist at the Edmund Niles Huyck Preserve in Rensselaerville, New York, and joined the Department of Zoology at the University of Georgia in the fall of 1940.

He and Martha had two sons, William Eugene and Daniel Thomas.

Martha, who had graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in design, became a leader in the Athens art community, and William followed his father and his uncle into ecology, ending his career at the University of Virginia in 1991 when he died of liver cancer.

Odum retired from the University of Georgia in 1984, leaving his position as director of the Institute of Ecology, Alumni Foundation Distinguished Professor of Zoology, and Callaway Professor of Ecology.

He had been instrumental in the founding of the university's Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, University of Georgia Marine Institute on Sapelo Island, and the Institute of Ecology, which in 2007 was renamed the Eugene P. Odum School of Ecology in his honor.

Odum died of natural causes after tending his garden at his Athens home on August 10, 2002.

"He was the best-known ecologist in the world, there's no question about that," said a colleague, University of Georgia ecology professor Whit Gibbons.

During the 1950s Odum took advantage of the U.S. government's interest in building atomic weapons facilities and in commissioning preinstallation environmental inventories of their sites to engage University of Georgia graduate students and faculty in ecological field studies.

Eugene OdumWith a grant in 1951 from the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), he initiated at the Savannah River nuclear plant a program of long-term ecological research that would eventually become the university's Savannah River Ecology Laboratory.

A decade later, encouraged by the growing national interest in radiation ecology, or radioecology, Odum and his colleagues began planning an on-campus Institute of Radiation Ecology, which would become the University of Georgia Institute of Ecology.

In 1954 Eugene Odum and his brother acquired another grant from the AEC to study the effects of nuclear fallout in the Eniwetok Atoll of the South Pacific, where the U.S. government had been testing atomic weapons.

In a paper that won the 1956 Mercer Award from the Ecological Society of America, they proved that the coral reef was maintaining itself in equilibrium because of the symbiotic relationship of the coral and the algae.

Odum was to use that discovery again and again in his argument that symbiosis promotes stability.

In 1964, as president of the Ecological Society of America, Odum announced in the journal BioScience the establishment of a "new ecology," Eugene Oduma "systems ecology" that dealt with the world as a whole, bringing all of the ecosystem sciences together.

In the article he laid out the discipline's fundamental assumptions: that the ecosystem is the basic unit of nature; that biological diversity increases ecosystem stability; that "homeostasis" is important at all levels of the biological spectrum; that "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts"; and that therefore reductionist scientific methods cannot adequately explain living systems.

These were the premises on which Odum based his science and with which he would thereafter be identified.

The statement "the ecosystem is greater than the sum of its parts" is inscribed on the bust of him that adorns the entrance to the Ecology Building at the University of Georgia.

In the late 1960s, when land developers and a mining firm threatened the survival of Georgia's coastal wetlands, Odum participated in a University of Georgia student–driven Save Our Marshes Committee by educating citizens about the economic value of the wetlands to the state.

With the support of the newly informed voters, the committee succeeded in persuading the Georgia legislature to pass the Coastal Marshlands Protection Act of 1970.

In 1970, the year Americans celebrated the first Earth Day, when environmentalism was capturing the public's imagination, Odum obtained national notice in the media—in Time, Newsweek, and other popular publications—as one of the world's leading ecologists.

His widely selling textbook Fundamentals of Ecology, the third edition of which was soon to be published, had influenced the environmentalist movement by showing the interconnectedness of nature and the effects of human intervention in ecosystems.

In the 1980s and 1990s Odum put the principles of ecosystem ecology in the service of environmentalism, and in 1998 he encapsulated his ideas in the book Ecological Vignettes: Ecological Approaches to Dealing with Human Predicaments.

Odum's achievements have been widely recognized through a number of distinguished honors and awards.

he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, and the following year he was named the Outstanding Educator of America.

International honors include honorary membership in the British Ecological Society (1974), the Prix de l'Institut de la Vie (1975), and the Crafoord Prize in Ecology from the Royal Swedish Academy of Science (1987), the latter two of which he shared with his brother, Howard Odum.

He has also received six honorary degrees, including two from universities in Guatemala and Ecuador.

Odum acquired considerable wealth during his life, primarily from books but also from prizes.

He gave away approximately $1.5 million, mostly to the University of Georgia but also to the University of Virginia, in honor of his son, and to the University of North Carolina and the University of Illinois.

With generous donations he helped create the Eugene P. Odum Professorship at the University of Georgia and the Martha and Eugene Odum Gallery of Decorative Arts at the Georgia Museum of Art.
