Presidential and parliamentary elections is under way in Namibia. The election is expected to be the most competitive election yet for the ruling Swapo party. It would also determine whether Swapo, which has been in power since independence in 1990, retains its dominance or becomes another former liberation movement to lose its grip on power.  For the latest we are now joined on the line by our correspondent in Nambia, Nixon Tasakana

This week the boys are back and boy are they fired up. We give our thoughts on the results of the election and cover a few other fun stories including the Nambia space program and a few things the president had to have fact checked.

Niklas Gustafson, a Swedish health and lifestyle influencer living in Spain, joins Robbie to talk about his mission to educate the public about healthy living and debunk myths surrounding a healthful lifestyle. Robbie got wind of Niklas becuase he posted a series of videos of him hunting in Nambia with his sons. Naturally Robbie was curious - the whole premise of the IG page was health, there was no signs that he hunted, but yet here he was posting about hunting. So naturally we wanted to ask him why? Why he hunts, why he was comfortable posting the videos of him hunting etc.?  Support our newest Conservation Club Members!

It's late November 2023 and - away from the glitz and glamour of the big franchise leagues - David is representing Nambia in their bid to qualify for the 2024 T20 World Cup. We find out why a franchise cricketer earning big money still chooses to turn out for an adopted nation in relatively low-key qualifying tournaments, and explore the reality of life for those associate cricketers without David's profile. We also hear how David is coming to terms with not being retained for the 2024 IPL. Also on the agenda: the cutthroat nature of associate cricket, parents watching on from camping chairs, choosing Namibia over the riches of the Abu Dhabi T10, finding belonging in an otherwise transient existence, sharing rooms with teammates, being the big name player at a tournament, cricket vs. football in Africa, messages from the Namibian president and talk of the 2026 T20 World Cup terrifying David's wife!

Hunting has to be driven by the best available information, and the best available science. Ensuring sustainable take with population estimates is a good way to ensure that hunting is not having a deterimental effect on the population, which, honestly, is the last thing that any hunter wants. The science becomes even more critical when it comes to charismatic megafauna like leopards. So we received the question about leopards in Nambia, specifically "What's the latest population estimate of leopards in Namibia?" Starting with 14,154 and a 250 leopard per year trophy hunting quota per year. After a new survey was undertaken recently between 2017 and 2019, an expanded population range was observed, it was found that densities vary widely across Namibia.

IDP Report Back – Nambia & Botswana Trip 20-24 July 2022

Nick and Tim take on this week's topics with Bes on holidays, in what is another busy episode. The pair look at the beginning of 2024 T20 World Cup Qualifying, which begins before the final sides for 2022 are decided!

Divorce has traditionally been considered a taboo subject, especially among Africans. Most religions and cultures forbid even discussing the topic, let alone getting divorced. However, it's common to hear about people's failing marriages and divorce. What's going on? DW's Miriam Kaliza in Malawi and his panel explore divorce in Africa.

If you want to raise real risk capital for exploration, you need Canadian-style investors to provide it, the 2022 Junior Indaba heard on Thursday. While it was acknowledged that South Africa has the money, it was also reiterated that the country is just not channeling it into exploration, where the indaba hybrid audience was told of an investment that appreciated in value by ten times their initial purchase price. Osino Resources CEO Heye Daun, on stage with Junior Indaba chairperson Bernard Swanepoel, told of dreaming up Osino in 2015 after having success a couple years before when he, together with Canadian colleagues, acquired a discarded project in Namibia from the now defunct South Africa-based AngloVaal. They paid $25-million for it, drilled it hard, advanced it to feasibility stage and sold it two years later to B2Gold for just under $200-million, so it was almost a ‘tenbagger' for them – an investment that appreciates in value by ten times its initial purchase price. B2Gold, founded in Canada in 2007, when on and built a very successful gold mine, which is set to make $200-milion of free cash a year as a literal $1-billion company. B2Gold became the blueprint for Osino which Daun as a born and bred Namibian mining engineer felt he may be able to repeat. Again together with Canadian financiers, Osino and geologists put together a land package in Namibia and had to do the exploration itself in the absence of other gold projects in Namibia. Through systematic and holistic exploration, Osino discovered Twin Hills through thick sand and calcrete cover 20 km from Navachab, which is the biggest regional gold resource outside of South Africa's world-renowned Witwatersrand Basin. The Karibib district project is held through 14 licences comprising a156 000 ha of geology that straddles the towns of Usakos, Karibib and Omaruru. The official resource of 2.7-million ounces of gold is now expected to grow to 3.5-million ounces in the next to few years to 3.5-million to four-million ounces. “It is one of 28 major discoveries of the last ten years globally,” Daun said, adding that Osino is looking to turn it into Nambia's biggest gold project by replicating and then bettering what B2Gold did with the project sold to it. “We now have a quality asset. We're turned the dream into reality,” Daun told the conference covered by Mining Weekly. Twin Hills has taken two-and-a-half years to advance from discovery to the prefeasibility stage. MOSTLY UNDER COVER Namibia has the sedimentary orogenic Pan African Damara Belt, which is very prospective. Its issue is that, very similar to Botswana, it is mostly under cover, which is why it is only now emerging as a special gold and copper mineralising belt right now. “There are some other companies that are doing very similar things to what we've done in gold in Botswana and in Namibia, so I think you'll hear a lot more about this region in terms of new discoveries. “Namibia is a very pleasing place to work. Obviously, I'm very impartial to it being a Namibian myself. “What Osino has achieved I think is a textbook of what exploration can achieve in bringing foreign direct investment into countries along with socio-economic development,” said Daun, who described Osino as having “by far” the biggest licence position of anyone in Namibia. It has spent $50-million on exploration in the last three to four years and is transitioning from being an exploration company to being a mine developer. It is at scoping study stage, which Canadians refer to as the preliminary economic assessment (PEA) stage. Osino is a Vancouver-headquartered Toronto Stock Exchange Venture Capital company Being a Canadian company, it is regulated by the stock exchange codes. “Most people still measure us by the PEA, which we publicised in the middle of last year, which showed some very credible numbers. But we've been very active since. We've drilled 100 000 metres, we've spent millions doing studies, and we're in the final lap of c...

The UK Investor Magazine is joined by Alan Green for a rundown of key market themes and UK equities. We start by looking at Stagflation at the implications for the UK economy and markets. Stagflation is a period of rising inflation, economic contraction, and rising unemployment. The UK satisfies the first two of these, however, unemployment remains robust. We look at whether rising inflation will soon hit jobs activity and what it could mean for equities.We also discuss the relationship between the FTSE 100 and US indices and how this may develop if we see recession in the US.Burberry has posted a respectable set of results and is proving a possible choice for income investors.

Ethiopia's PM Abiy names new cabinet +++ UN warns of ‘human catastrophe' in Tigray +++ Amnesty report accuses Namibia of neglecting Indigenous San people

We are all dreaming of the next place we want to travel, and for many, Italy is at the top of their list. But is it time to reconsider our relationship with the world's most beloved destination? On this episode of Travel That Matters, travel journalist and Italy expert Maria Shollenbarger shares her secrets on how to experience the very best of the country in a more meaningful, sustainable, and insiderly way.   Maria was an editor at large at Condé Nast Traveler and a senior editor at Travel & Leisure before taking on her current role as the travel editor for the Financial Times' How to Spend It. She has lived in several cities throughout Asia, Europe, and the U.S., and she's currently based in London and Rome. She speaks with Bruce about what it was like to be in Italy at a time when other Americans weren't able to visit, and how travelers can achieve that sense of insider access in the future. For one, Maria recommends finding the right travel designer, someone like Emily Fitzroy of Bellini Travel. But even with an expert's support, you need to do your research. Don't just walk into any pizza spot in Venice; take the time to find that hidden spot that's serving authentic Venetian cuisine. Her favorite way to enjoy Venetian fare isn't at a restaurant at all, but rather aboard a yacht called the Edipo Re, which takes guests and top local chefs far beyond the city to explore the lagoon and Adriatic and sample local delicacies along the way. Maria also offers up fabulous tips on Sicilian wine country, the Umbrian countryside, the island of Ischia, and more. But even with all the great insights on Italy, Travel That Matters wants more! Bruce encourages you to write to him on Twitter @TravelwithBruce or email him at Bruce@curtco.com and share some of your favorite destinations and secret spots throughout Europe. We know our listeners are experts, and we want to hear from you!  Additional links and locations mentioned in this episode: Sujan Sher Bagh in Ranthambore Wilderness Safaris' Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp in Namibia Edipo Re yacht in Venice Tasca d'Almerita Capofaro Villa Tasca Regaleali Mozia  Mezzatorre on the island if Ischia Corte della Maesta in Tuscia Castello di Reschio in Umbria Rocco Forte's Villa Igiea in Palermo ----------------------------------- Learn more about the podcast: https://www.curtco.com/travelthatmatters Hosted by: Bruce Wallin Produced by: AJ Moseley and Darra Stone Music by: Joey Salvia A CurtCo Media Production   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Absolutely GRATEFUL for this special one. How I met Aina was literally a needle in a haystack. When I saw that she was doing work in anti-trafficking, I reached out to her, realized she was from Namibia, and an amazing friendship was born. Born and raised in Nambia, she's got a story like no other. Her town in Namibia, just two 2.5 decades in, is now free of colonization. Her work in activism came here when she began her journey here in Thailand. What a story I've got for you today.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. We’ll use these sessions to hone our use of words as tools to reveal truth, neutralize White people. We’ll examine news reports from the past seven days and – hopefully – promote a constructive dialog. #ANTIBLACKNESS After hundreds of arrests, a murdered enforcement official, and a brazen attack on White elected officials, the U.S. Senate failed to approve a commission to investigate the terrorist activities of January 6th, 2021. There's no way this inquiry would have been scuttled if this were a mob of black people. In San Jose, a White man, Samuel Cassidy, targeted his co-workers (many of them non-white), killing 9 people.

Vùng đồng bằng sông Cửu Long đang tiếp tục bị sụt lún, mà nguyên nhân chủ yếu là nạn khai thác nước ngầm quá mức, tiêu biểu là trường hợp của thành phố Cần Thơ, nơi mà tình trạng đường phố ngập nước ngày càng nặng nề. Sau nhiều thập niên xây dựng và phát triển, thành phố (TP) Cần Thơ đã có nhiều thay đổi theo chiều hướng tích cực, góp phần- nếu không nói là đóng vai trò nòng cốt - trong sản xuất nông nghiệp để Việt Nam trở thành quốc gia xuất khẩu gạo nhất nhì trên thế giới. Cũng trong khoảng thời gian này, Cần Thơ đã thực hiện được vai trò trung tâm vùng Đồng Bằng Sông Cửu Long (ĐBSCL) về thương mại, sản xuất - chế biến, dịch vụ, giáo dục - đào tạo và khoa học công nghệ. TP Cần Thơ đã tổ chức hội thảo, nghiên cứu kế hoạch xây dựng để trở thành một đô thị hạt nhân của ĐBSCL, với một trung tâm khoa học-công nghệ về nông nghiệp của quốc gia và khu vực. Tuy nhiên,  Cần Thơ là một đô thị của ĐBSCL, một trong 3 châu thổ trên thế giới bị tác động trầm trọng nhất của biến đổi khí hậu (BĐKH). Như vậy, thử hỏi có thể nào xây dựng Cần Thơ trở thành đô thị hạt nhân của ĐBSCL với những hình ảnh của hơn phân nửa diện tích thành phố bị ngập nước? Đó chính là mối ưu tư rất lớn của tiến sĩ Huỳnh Long Vân, nhóm nghiên cứu Văn Hóa Đồng Nai Cửu Long Úc châu, trong bài trả lời phỏng vấn RFI Việt ngữ từ Sydney ngày 27/04/2021. RFI: Thưa tiến sĩ Huỳnh Long Vân, trước hết xin ông cho biết là tình trạng sụt lún của thành phố Cần Thơ nói riêng và của vùng đồng bằng sông Cửu Long nói chung là do những nguyên nhân gì? TS Huỳnh Long Vân: Thành phố ( TP ) Cần Thơ bị ngập nước do hai nguyên nhân: Sụt lún gây ra bởi khai thác nước ngầm thiếu kiểm soát. Nền đất bị sụt lún, tương tác với thủy triều, nước lũ sông Mêkông, và hệ thống đê bao khép kín ở các vùng nông thôn phụ cận khiến TP Cần Thơ bị ngập úng. Công trình thoát nước vốn đã kém chất lượng, lại xuống cấp, thiếu hoành chỉnh, được dùng để tháo rút nước thải lẫn nước mưa. Bên cạnh đó phát triển đô thị thiếu kiểm soát, cho phép xây nhà ở những vùng đất ngập nước, đô thị bị bê tông hoá làm giảm đi mức độ thấm rút nước mưa, do đó khi mực nước sông dâng lên bởi triều cường kết hợp với mưa lớn, thì đường phố bị ngập. RFI: Như vậy, thưa ông, tình trạng sụt lún của đồng bằng sông Cửu Long đã bắt đầu từ khi nào? TS Huỳnh Long Vân: Hơn 10 năm trước đây, người dân ĐBSCL sử dụng nguồn nước mặt (nước sông) và nước mưa là chính cho mọi sinh hoạt, nước ngầm chỉ dùng trong mùa khô. Nhưng hiện nay nước mặt ở ĐBSCL đang bị ô nhiễm trầm trọng, nên mỗi ngày khoảng 2 triệu mét khối (m3) nước ngầm, hay nhiều hơn, được bơm hút để dùng trong sinh hoạt, trồng trọt, nuôi trồng thủy sản và chăn nuôi, gây ra những hậu quả trầm trọng: sạt lở bờ biển, bờ sông và nhiều nơi ngập sâu với tần suất và cường độ ngày càng tăng. Những kết quả nghiên cứu và khảo sát của Bộ Tài Nguyên và Môi Trường (TN&MT) cho thấy, trong khi mực nước biển dâng cao do BĐKH chỉ khoảng 3mm/năm, thì mức độ sụt lún của toàn vùng ĐBSCL gây ra bởi khai thác nước ngầm là 10-13mm/năm và tốc độ sụt lún riêng của TP Cần Thơ trong khoảng thời gian 2005-2017 là 43,5mm/năm. Huyện Cờ Đỏ, hai khu công nghiệp Trà Nóc và Thốt Nốt là những địa điểm bơm hút nước ngầm nhiều nhất ở TP Cần Thơ. RFI: Tình trạng sụt lún này gây ra những tác động gì đến vùng đồng bằng sông Cửu Long, nhất là đến đời sống của người dân Cần Thơ? TS Huỳnh Long Vân: Ngoài việc gây ra ngập nước, sụt lún còn ảnh hưởng đến các công trình xây cất, nhà ở của người dân và rất dễ được nhận ra, như nứt tường, cơ sở nghiêng ngả, đường phố phải tráng thêm nhiều lớp nhựa để nâng cao, khiến cho nhà cửa dọc theo hai bên đường thấp hơn mặt lộ và bị ngập nước lúc triều cường đạt đỉnh. Theo những tính toán của Ngân Hàng Thế Giới, tình trạng ngập nước theo mùa của phân nửa TP Cần Thơ trong nhiều ngày, gây thiệt hại khoảng 11% (650 đôla/gia đình/năm) mức thu nhập trung bình của mỗi hộ gia đình. Nếu các hoạt động khai thác nước ngầm tiếp tục theo kịch bản kinh doanh như hiện nay, thì đến năm 2100, phần lớn TP Cần Thơ có thể mất toàn bộ độ cao so với mặt biển. RFI: Các chính quyền địa phương cho đến nay đã thi hành những biện pháp nào để kiểm soát khai thác nước ngầm và hạn chế sụt lún như vậy? TS Huỳnh Long Vân: Trước những hậu quả nghiêm trọng của khai thác nước ngậm thiếu kiểm soát, chính phủ đã ban hành Nghị định 167/2018/ND-CP quy định việc khai thác nước dưới đất ở các vùng chứa nước ngọt thuộc lãnh thổ của nước CHXHCNVN. Ý thức rõ tầm quan trọng của việc thực hiện nghiêm túc Nghị định 167, Sở Tài Nguyên & Môi Trường (TN&MT) TP Cần Thơ đang thực hiện các kế hoạch kiểm soát và khoanh vùng để hạn chế khai thác nước ngầm. Cụ thể, họ quy định khai thác nước ngầm từ 10m3-3.000m3/ngày phải được Ủy Ban Nhân Dân (UBND) thành phố cấp phép, trên 3.000m3/ngày, như ở khu công nghiệp Trà Nóc và Thốt Nốt, cần được Bộ TN&MT cấp phép (Phải chăng đây là một động thái nhằm chối bỏ một phần trách nhiệm của TP Cần Thơ trong việc kiểm soát và hạn chế khai thác nước ngầm?). Đồng thời, họ đề nghị UBND thành phố thu tiền cấp phép khai thác nước ngầm. Trung tâm Nước sạch và Vệ sinh môi trường nông thôn TP Cần Thơ chọn 4 nơi làm thí điểm chuyển đổi từ khai thác nước ngầm sang nước mặt và bố trí các trạm quan trắc theo dõi diễn biến nguồn nước ngầm. Ngoài ra, TP Cần Thơ còn tăng cường hợp tác quốc tế, như tham gia dự án “Quản trị sụt lún đất và quản lý nước ngầm tại khu vực ÐBSCL”, do nhóm nghiên cứu của Ðại Sứ Quán Hà Lan tài trợ và hợp tác với Ðại Học Cần Thơ thực hiện. Dự án bắt đầu từ tháng 1/2020 kéo dài 15 tháng và chọn Cần Thơ và Kiên Giang, Bến Tre và Sóc Trăng là 4 địa điểm nghiên cứu điển hình của dự án. Dựa trên các kinh nghiệm và bài học rút ra từ 4 địa phương này, nhóm nghiên cứu sẽ xây dựng các giải pháp quản lý và lộ trình cho quản lý khai thác nước ngầm và sụt lún đất ở ÐBSCL và riêng cho TP Cần Thơ. RFI: Nhưng theo ông, những giải pháp mà thành phố này đang thi hành liệu có thể mang lại hiệu quả mong muốn? Liệu chúng ta có thể cấm tuyệt đối việc khai thác nước ngầm ở Cần Thơ để ngăn chận tình trạng sụt lún? TS Huỳnh Long Vân: Trong khi ĐBSCL chưa có được hệ thống cung cấp đầy đủ nhu cầu nước sạch, thì việc ngăn cấm tuyệt đối khai thác nước ngầm là điều không khả thi. Qua những kinh nghiệm và nhận định của các chuyên gia nghiên cứu về những tác động tiêu cực của khai thác nước ngầm như P. Minderhoud, G. Erkens, L. Erban, thì giảm khai thác nước ngầm ở ĐBSCL 50% so với hiện nay cũng không chận đứng được, mà chỉ làm giảm mức độ sụt lún. Vì thế, chúng ta không nên quá lạc quan về những giải pháp mà TP Cần Thơ đang áp dụng và vội tin rằng sẽ quản trị được sụt lún và Cần Thơ sẽ không còn bị ngập nước. Ngoài ra, cũng không nên quá trông đợi vào dự án nghiên cứu của nhóm Hà Lan như một chiếc đũa thần, mà phải đề ra một giải pháp căn cơ để ứng phó với những thách thức gây ra bởi khai thác nước ngầm thiếu kiểm soát.   RFI : Theo ông thì trong khi chờ đợi có một hệ thống cung cấp đủ nước sạch toàn vùng ĐBSCL, chính quyền của thành phố Cần Thơ nói riêng và toàn vùng ĐBSCL phải thi hành ngay những giải pháp nào để tình trạng sụt lún không tiếp diễn? TS Huỳnh Long Vân: Ngoài việc kiểm soát và hạn chế khai thác nước ngầm, giới hữu trách ở Cần Thơ và ĐBSCL trước hết cần giải thích để thay đổi nhận thức của người sử dụng nước ngầm, theo hướng nước ngầm là “tài nguyên chiến lược”, nên không thể sử dụng trong sinh hoạt và sản xuất hằng ngày, mà cần phải tồn trữ để sử dụng trong những trường hợp hạn hán như năm 2016, hay hạn hán trong tương lai ở ĐBSCL gây ra bởi BĐKH Ngoài ra, cần cung cấp cho người sử dụng nước ngầm những thông tin về những tác hại khác gây ra bởi khai thác nước ngầm quá mức, ngoài sụt lún nền đất: Bơm hút quá mức nước ngầm khiến cho nguốn nước ngầm bị nhiễm mặn, nền đất bị mặn lây, ảnh hưởng đến khả năng hấp thụ nước, chất dinh dưỡng và năng suất của cây trồng và gián tiếp ảnh hưởng đến thu nhập của người dân Thói quen bơm hút nước, hết ở tầng nông (tầng trấm tích Holocene) rồi xuống đến tầng sâu (tầng trầm tích Pleistocene) về lâu về dài sẽ làm nguồn nước ngầm bị nhiễm Arsenic rò rỉ từ tầng nông. Nước ngầm nhiễm Arsenic có hại cho sức khỏe con người và vật nuôi. Trong giai đoạn chuyển tiếp, trước khi xây dựng được môt hệ thống cung cấp đầy đủ nước sạch cho toàn vùng ĐBSCL, các chính quyền địa phương cần phải tiết kiệm nguồn nước, ví dụ như bằng cách xây dựng phương án dự trữ nước mưa (triển khai từ những kinh nghiệm của Bến Tre đào các ao mương trữ nước ngọt để dùng trong mùa khô). Cần tiết kiệm nước trong tưới trồng (trồng rau cải, hoa màu trong nhà kính nơi độ ẩm được kiểm soát và duy trì; ứng dụng công nghệ tưới nhỏ giọt v.v…) Cần nghiên cứu kỹ thuật bổ cập nhân tạo nước ngầm, như trước đây ở Hoa Kỳ từng có 6 dự án: (Water Factory 21, Orange County, California; Montebello Forebay, California; Phoenix, Arizona; El Paso, Texas; Long Island, New York; Orlando, Florida). Đặc biệt là dự án Dan của Do Thái, đã được sử dụng trong suốt 20 năm qua và không gây ô nhiễm nguồn nước ngầm Cũng cần nghiên cứu những kỹ thuật tái tạo nguồn nước đã được dùng qua để sau đó dùng tưới trồng cây kiểng, sân cỏ, trong công nghệ giặt ủi, vệ sinh hay trong những dịch vụ công nghệ không liên quan đến sức khỏe của con người (như CRC Technologies của Hoa Kỳ, những kỹ thuật hiện được dùng ở Australia và Nambia v.v…) Chấm dứt hẳn tình trạng sụt lún ở Cần Thơ và ĐBSCL chỉ có thể đạt được khi ĐBSCL có được hệ thống cung cấp đầy đủ nước sạch cho sinh hoạt và sản xuất. Vì thế giới hữu trách trung ương và địa phương cần phối hợp tiến hành càng sớm càng tốt kế hoạch cấp nước sạch cho toàn vùng ĐBSCL. Kế hoạch này cần được xây dựng dựa vào nguồn nước mặt lấy từ sông Tiền và sông Hậu và chỉ cho phép sử dụng nước ngầm tại những vùng xa không có nguồn nước mặt. Đặc biệt, ở vùng ven biển nên ứng dụng công nghệ Nano và RO để xây dựng những nhà máy biến chế nước mặn thành nước ngọt. Nếu vì lý do nào đó mà kế hoạch cung cấp nước sạch không thể thực hiện được, và để TP Cần Thơ và các đô thị khác ở ĐBSCL khỏi bị ngập nước theo mùa, thì có lẽ cần phải nghĩ đến giải pháp từ bỏ hẳn trồng lúa vụ 3, tháo gỡ các đê bao ở vùng nông thôn và ngược lại xây dựng các bờ kè, con đê, để bao bọc khép kín các khu dân cư đông đúc. Kiểm soát-hạn chế khai thác nước ngầm, tiết kiệm lượng nước sử dụng và xây dựng hệ thống cung cấp nước sạch đáp ứng được nhu cầu tiêu dùng là những việc làm và kế hoạch cần được triển khai khẩn trương và đồng bộ trong tiến trình thoạt tiên làm giảm dần sụt lún trước khi hoàn toàn chận đứng. Là người dân sinh ra và lớn lên ở Cần Thơ, cá nhân tôi thành tâm mong mõi TP Cần Thơ được phát triển bền vững, sớm trở thành một đô thị văn minh, nơi đây một số sinh hoạt và dịch vụ thiết yếu cho đời sống con người không còn bị gián đoạn, giao thông không tắc nghẽn và người dân không phải bì bõm trong biển nước để lo cho miếng cơm manh áo trong những ngày mà phân nữa diện tích của thành phố bị ngập nước.

U.S. president Donald Trump signed the Better Utilization of Investments Leading to Development, also known as the BUILD Act, into law on October 5th, creating a powerful new development finance organization that is aimed at challenging China’s dominance in lending to developing countries. The law combines two existing organizations, the United States Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and USAID’s Development Credit Authority to a form a new entity called the International Development Finance Corporation (IDFC) with $60 billion in its coffers.   Washington, D.C.-based Africa analyst at the Atlantic Council and an avid IDFC supporter Aubrey Hruby joins Eric & Cobus to provide a high-level introduction to the IDFC and how its lending strategy will differ markedly from what the Chinese are doing in Africa and other emerging markets.   Join the discussion. Are you happy that the U.S. is now getting into the development finance game to provide a new financing alternative for African businesses? Or do you think it’s a bit “too little, too late” from the United States after the Trump administration’s questionable commitment to Africa (remember what he said about those s***hole countries and when he made up a country called “Nambia”?).

In this episode, I answer to Eric Olander and Cobus van Staden from The China Africa Project podcast episode named: Why "Nambia" is so important to the China-Africa narrative. They both couldn't understand why African countries seem to somehow always refer to colonialism or post colonialism to explain their current situation and have a fatalist / victim narrative; whereas Asian countries actually use colonialism as a motivation to improve their situation and create a rebirth narrative. link to the episode of The China Africa Project: https://soundcloud.com/chinatalkingpoints/why-nambia-is-so-important-to-the-china-africa-narrative

Last week, Damon Young from Very Smart Brothas (VSB) penned a controversial article to their page entitled, "Straight Black Men Are the White People of Black People", and men from all over responded like trash and tried to "mansplain" the plight of black women whilst demanding statistical data on black women's abusive experiences at the hands of black men; fuckshit and think pieces ensued. Also, #45 used his privilege to create a whole entire African nation at the U.N., the online gaming community is racist AF, and DJ Black Shah's beard won't connect.

U.S. President Donald Trump revealed deeper levels of ignorance about Africa than many thought possible during a luncheon speech this week to a group of African leaders. During his brief, 800-word speech, Trump twice mentioned the non-existent country of "Nambia." Immediately after the speech, there was widespread disbelief and even confusion as to whether the president was referring to Gambia, Namibia or Zambia. Later, the White House confirmed that the president had indeed spoken in error about Namibia. While the gaffe itself is insignificant, it comes amid a broader context of growing U.S. detachment from Africa as Washington's policy for the continent appears increasingly rudderless. Wednesday's speech was the first major address (which is being generous) the president has given about Africa since he came to office, while policy for the continent drifts amid turmoil over at the State Department. Trump was slow to nominate an Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs whose confirmation is now stuck in the Senate. Reaction to the "Nambia" speech largely ranged from ridicule to "what else do you expect from this guy?" African social media commentary, which are usually quick to criticize foreign leaders who disrespect Africa, were surprisingly benign, just laughing it off. Namibian president Hage Geingob, for his part, even went so far as to suggest that Trump's error was actually a blessing as it will invite more attention to be focused on his country. What's interesting here is how the United States, despite any sense of a coherent policy, declining corporate investment and steadily expanding military presence in Africa seems to get a pass from critics who level charges of "neo-colonialism" and "imperialism" towards other countries including China, Japan and some European states. In this edition of the China in Africa podcast, Eric & Cobus discuss the different narratives about the U.S. relationship with Africa compared to that of China's and some of the reasons why African perceptions vary so greatly between the U.S. and China. Join the discussion. What do you think of the "Nambia" speech? If another world leader made the same mistake, how would you react? Let us know what you think.

The Life Carriers (396.1) 36:0.1 LIFE does not originate spontaneously. Life is constructed according to plans formulated by the (unrevealed) Architects of Being and appears on the inhabited planets either by direct importation or as a result of the operations of the Life Carriers of the local universes. These carriers of life are among the most interesting and versatile of the diverse family of universe Sons. They are intrusted with designing and carrying creature life to the planetary spheres. And after planting this life on such new worlds, they remain there for long periods to foster its development. 1. Origin and Nature of Life Carriers (396.2) 36:1.1 Though the Life Carriers belong to the family of divine sonship, they are a peculiar and distinct type of universe Sons, being the only group of intelligent life in a local universe in whose creation the rulers of a superuniverse participate. The Life Carriers are the offspring of three pre-existent personalities: the Creator Son, the Universe Mother Spirit, and, by designation, one of the three Ancients of Days presiding over the destinies of the superuniverse concerned. These Ancients of Days, who alone can decree the extinction of intelligent life, participate in the creation of the Life Carriers, who are intrusted with establishing physical life on the evolving worlds. (396.3) 36:1.2 In the universe of Nebadon we have on record the creation of one hundred million Life Carriers. This efficient corps of life disseminators is not a truly self-governing group. They are directed by the life-determining trio, consisting of Gabriel, the Father Melchizedek, and Nambia, the original and first-born Life Carrier of Nebadon. But in all phases of their divisional administration they are self-governing. (396.4) 36:1.3 Life Carriers are graded into three grand divisions: The first division is the senior Life Carriers, the second, assistants, and the third, custodians. The primary division is subdivided into twelve groups of specialists in the various forms of life manifestation. The segregation of these three divisions was effected by the Melchizedeks, who conducted tests for such purposes on the Life Carriers’ headquarters sphere. The Melchizedeks have ever since been closely associated with the Life Carriers and always accompany them when they go forth to establish life on a new planet. (396.5) 36:1.4 When an evolutionary planet is finally settled in light and life, the Life Carriers are organized into the higher deliberative bodies of advisory capacity to assist in the further administration and development of the world and its glorified beings. In the later and settled ages of an evolving universe these Life Carriers are intrusted with many new duties. 2. The Life Carrier Worlds (397.1) 36:2.1 The Melchizedeks have the general oversight of the fourth group of seven primary spheres in the Salvington circuit. These worlds of the Life Carriers are designated as follows: (397.2) 36:2.2 1. The Life Carrier headquarters. (397.3) 36:2.3 2. The life-planning sphere. (397.4) 36:2.4 3. The life-conservation sphere. (397.5) 36:2.5 4. The sphere of life evolution. (397.6) 36:2.6 5. The sphere of life associated with mind. (397.7) 36:2.7 6. The sphere of mind and spirit in living beings. (397.8) 36:2.8 7. The sphere of unrevealed life. (397.9) 36:2.9 Each of these primary spheres is surrounded by six satellites, on which the special phases of all the Life Carrier activities in the universe are centered. (397.10) 36:2.10 World Number One, the headquarters sphere, together with its six tributary satellites, is devoted to the study of universal life, life in all of its known phases of manifestation. Here is located the college of life planning, wherein function teachers and advisers from Uversa and Havona, even from Paradise. And I am permitted to reveal that the seven central emplacements of the adjutant mind-spirits are situated on this world of the Life Carriers. (397.11) 36:2.11 The number ten — the decimal system — is inherent in the physical universe but not in the spiritual. The domain of life is characterized by three, seven, and twelve or by multiples and combinations of these basic numbers. There are three primal and essentially different life plans, after the order of the three Paradise Sources and Centers, and in the universe of Nebadon these three basic forms of life are segregated on three different types of planets. There were, originally, twelve distinct and divine concepts of transmissible life. This number twelve, with its subdivisions and multiples, runs throughout all basic life patterns of all seven superuniverses. There are also seven architectural types of life design, fundamental arrangements of the reproducing configurations of living matter. The Orvonton life patterns are configured as twelve inheritance carriers. The differing orders of will creatures are configured as 12, 24, 48, 96, 192, 384, and 768. On Urantia there are forty-eight units of pattern control — trait determiners — in the sex cells of human reproduction. (397.12) 36:2.12 The Second World is the life-designing sphere; here all new modes of life organization are worked out. While the original life designs are provided by the Creator Son, the actual outworking of these plans is intrusted to the Life Carriers and their associates. When the general life plans for a new world have been formulated, they are transmitted to the headquarters sphere, where they are minutely scrutinized by the supreme council of the senior Life Carriers in collaboration with a corps of consulting Melchizedeks. If the plans are a departure from previously accepted formulas, they must be passed upon, and endorsed by, the Creator Son. The chief of Melchizedeks often represents the Creator Son in these deliberations. (397.13) 36:2.13 Planetary life, therefore, while similar in some respects, differs in many ways on each evolutionary world. Even in a uniform life series in a single family of worlds, life is not exactly the same on any two planets; there is always a planetary type, for the Life Carriers work constantly in an effort to improve the vital formulas committed to their keeping. (398.1) 36:2.14 There are over one million fundamental or cosmic chemical formulas which constitute the parent patterns and the numerous basic functional variations of life manifestations. Satellite number one of the life-planning sphere is the realm of the universe physicists and electrochemists who serve as technical assistants to the Life Carriers in the work of capturing, organizing, and manipulating the essential units of energy which are employed in building up the material vehicles of life transmission, the so-called germ plasm. (398.2) 36:2.15 The planetary life-planning laboratories are situated on the second satellite of this world number two. In these laboratories the Life Carriers and all their associates collaborate with the Melchizedeks in the effort to modify and possibly improve the life designed for implantation on the decimal planets of Nebadon. The life now evolving on Urantia was planned and partially worked out on this very world, for Urantia is a decimal planet, a life-experiment world. On one world in each ten a greater variance in the standard life designs is permitted than on the other (nonexperimental) worlds. (398.3) 36:2.16 World Number Three is devoted to the conservation of life. Here various modes of life protection and preservation are studied and developed by the assistants and custodians of the Life Carrier corps. The life plans for every new world always provide for the early establishment of the life-conservation commission, consisting of custodian specialists in the expert manipulation of the basic life patterns. On Urantia there were twenty-four such custodian commissioners, two for each fundamental or parent pattern of the architectural organization of the life material. On planets such as yours the highest form of life is reproduced by a life-carrying bundle which possesses twenty-four pattern units. (And since the intellectual life grows out of, and upon the foundation of, the physical, there come into existence the four and twenty basic orders of psychic organization.) (398.4) 36:2.17 Sphere Number Four and its tributary satellites are devoted to the study of the evolution of creature life in general and to the evolutionary antecedents of any one life level in particular. The original life plasm of an evolutionary world must contain the full potential for all future developmental variations and for all subsequent evolutionary changes and modifications. The provision for such far-reaching projects of life metamorphosis may require the appearance of many apparently useless forms of animal and vegetable life. Such by-products of planetary evolution, foreseen or unforeseen, appear upon the stage of action only to disappear, but in and through all this long process there runs the thread of the wise and intelligent formulations of the original designers of the planetary life plan and species scheme. The manifold by-products of biologic evolution are all essential to the final and full function of the higher intelligent forms of life, notwithstanding that great outward disharmony may prevail from time to time in the long upward struggle of the higher creatures to effect the mastery of the lower forms of life, many of which are sometimes so antagonistic to the peace and comfort of the evolving will creatures. (398.5) 36:2.18 Number Five World is concerned wholly with life associated with mind. Each of its satellites is devoted to the study of a single phase of creature mind correlated with creature life. Mind such as man comprehends is an endowment of the seven adjutant mind-spirits superimposed on the nonteachable or mechanical levels of mind by the agencies of the Infinite Spirit. The life patterns are variously responsive to these adjutants and to the different spirit ministries operating throughout the universes of time and space. The capacity of material creatures to effect spirit response is entirely dependent on the associated mind endowment, which, in turn, has directionized the course of the biologic evolution of these same mortal creatures. (399.1) 36:2.19 World Number Six is dedicated to the correlation of mind with spirit as they are associated with living forms and organisms. This world and its six tributaries embrace the schools of creature co-ordination, wherein teachers from both the central universe and the superuniverse collaborate with the Nebadon instructors in presenting the highest levels of creature attainment in time and space. (399.2) 36:2.20 The Seventh Sphere of the Life Carriers is dedicated to the unrevealed domains of evolutionary creature life as it is related to the cosmic philosophy of the expanding factualization of the Supreme Being. 3. Life Transplantation (399.3) 36:3.1 Life does not spontaneously appear in the universes; the Life Carriers must initiate it on the barren planets. They are the carriers, disseminators, and guardians of life as it appears on the evolutionary worlds of space. All life of the order and forms known on Urantia arises with these Sons, though not all forms of planetary life are existent on Urantia. (399.4) 36:3.2 The corps of Life Carriers commissioned to plant life upon a new world usually consists of one hundred senior carriers, one hundred assistants, and one thousand custodians. The Life Carriers often carry actual life plasm to a new world, but not always. They sometimes organize the life patterns after arriving on the planet of assignment in accordance with formulas previously approved for a new adventure in life establishment. Such was the origin of the planetary life of Urantia. (399.5) 36:3.3 When, in accordance with approved formulas, the physical patterns have been provided, then do the Life Carriers catalyze this lifeless material, imparting through their persons the vital spirit spark; and forthwith do the inert patterns become living matter. (399.6) 36:3.4 The vital spark — the mystery of life — is bestowed through the Life Carriers, not by them. They do indeed supervise such transactions, they formulate the life plasm itself, but it is the Universe Mother Spirit who supplies the essential factor of the living plasm. From the Creative Daughter of the Infinite Spirit comes that energy spark which enlivens the body and presages the mind. (399.7) 36:3.5 In the bestowal of life the Life Carriers transmit nothing of their personal natures, not even on those spheres where new orders of life are projected. At such times they simply initiate and transmit the spark of life, start the required revolutions of matter in accordance with the physical, chemical, and electrical specifications of the ordained plans and patterns. Life Carriers are living catalytic presences which agitate, organize, and vitalize the otherwise inert elements of the material order of existence. (400.1) 36:3.6 The Life Carriers of a planetary corps are given a certain period in which to establish life on a new world, approximately one-half million years of the time of that planet. At the termination of this period, indicated by certain developmental attainments of the planetary life, they cease implantation efforts, and they may not subsequently add anything new or supplemental to the life of that planet.* (400.2) 36:3.7 During the ages intervening between life establishment and the emergence of human creatures of moral status, the Life Carriers are permitted to manipulate the life environment and otherwise favorably directionize the course of biologic evolution. And this they do for long periods of time. (400.3) 36:3.8 When the Life Carriers operating on a new world have once succeeded in producing a being with will, with the power of moral decision and spiritual choice, then and there their work terminates — they are through; they may manipulate the evolving life no further. From this point forward the evolution of living things must proceed in accordance with the endowment of the inherent nature and tendencies which have already been imparted to, and established in, the planetary life formulas and patterns. The Life Carriers are not permitted to experiment or to interfere with will; they are not allowed to dominate or arbitrarily influence moral creatures. (400.4) 36:3.9 Upon the arrival of a Planetary Prince they prepare to leave, though two of the senior carriers and twelve custodians may volunteer, by taking temporary renunciation vows, to remain indefinitely on the planet as advisers in the matter of the further development and conservation of the life plasm. Two such Sons and their twelve associates are now serving on Urantia. 4. Melchizedek Life Carriers (400.5) 36:4.1 In every local system of inhabited worlds throughout Nebadon there is a single sphere whereon the Melchizedeks have functioned as life carriers. These abodes are known as the system midsonite worlds, and on each of them a materially modified Melchizedek Son has mated with a selected Daughter of the material order of sonship. The Mother Eves of such midsonite worlds are dispatched from the system headquarters of jurisdiction, having been chosen by the designated Melchizedek life carrier from among the numerous volunteers who respond to the call of the System Sovereign addressed to the Material Daughters of his sphere. (400.6) 36:4.2 The progeny of a Melchizedek life carrier and a Material Daughter are known as midsoniters. The Melchizedek father of such a race of supernal creatures eventually leaves the planet of his unique life function, and the Mother Eve of this special order of universe beings also departs upon the appearance of the seventh generation of planetary offspring. The direction of such a world then devolves upon her eldest son. (400.7) 36:4.3 The midsonite creatures live and function as reproducing beings on their magnificent worlds until they are one thousand standard years of age; whereupon they are translated by seraphic transport. Midsoniters are nonreproducing beings thereafter because the technique of dematerialization which they pass through in preparation for enseraphiming forever deprives them of reproductive prerogatives. (400.8) 36:4.4 The present status of these beings can hardly be reckoned as either mortal or immortal, neither can they be definitely classified as human or divine. These creatures are not Adjuster indwelt, hence hardly immortal. But neither do they seem to be mortal; no midsoniter has experienced death. All midsoniters ever born in Nebadon are alive today, functioning on their native worlds, on some intervening sphere, or on the Salvington midsonite sphere in the finaliters’ group of worlds. (401.1) 36:4.5 The Salvington Worlds of the Finaliters. The Melchizedek life carriers, as well as the associated Mother Eves, go from the system midsonite spheres to the finaliters’ worlds of the Salvington circuit, where their offspring are also destined to forgather. (401.2) 36:4.6 It should be explained in this connection that the fifth group of seven primary worlds in the Salvington circuit are the Nebadon worlds of the finaliters. The children of the Melchizedek life carriers and the Material Daughters are domiciled on the seventh world of the finaliters, the Salvington midsonite sphere. (401.3) 36:4.7 The satellites of the seven primary worlds of the finaliters are the rendezvous of the personalities of the super- and central universes who may be executing assignments in Nebadon. While the ascending mortals go about freely on all of the cultural worlds and training spheres of the 490 worlds comprising the Melchizedek University, there are certain special schools and numerous restricted zones which they are not permitted to enter. This is especially true of the forty-nine spheres under the jurisdiction of the finaliters. (401.4) 36:4.8 The purpose of the midsonite creatures is not at present known, but it would appear that these personalities are forgathering on the seventh finaliter world in preparation for some future eventuality in universe evolution. Our inquiries concerning the midsonite races are always referred to the finaliters, and always do the finaliters decline to discuss the destiny of their wards. Regardless of our uncertainty as to the future of the midsoniters, we do know that every local universe in Orvonton harbors such an accumulating corps of these mysterious beings. It is the belief of the Melchizedek life carriers that their midsonite children will some day be endowed with the transcendental and eternal spirit of absonity by God the Ultimate. 5. The Seven Adjutant Mind-Spirits (401.5) 36:5.1 It is the presence of the seven adjutant mind-spirits on the primitive worlds that conditions the course of organic evolution; that explains why evolution is purposeful and not accidental. These adjutants represent that function of the mind ministry of the Infinite Spirit which is extended to the lower orders of intelligent life through the operations of a local universe Mother Spirit. The adjutants are the children of the Universe Mother Spirit and constitute her personal ministry to the material minds of the realms. Wherever and whenever such mind is manifest, these spirits are variously functioning. (401.6) 36:5.2 The seven adjutant mind-spirits are called by names which are the equivalents of the following designations: intuition, understanding, courage, knowledge, counsel, worship, and wisdom. These mind-spirits send forth their influence into all the inhabited worlds as a differential urge, each seeking receptivity capacity for manifestation quite apart from the degree to which its fellows may find reception and opportunity for function. (401.7) 36:5.3 The central lodgments of the adjutant spirits on the Life Carrier headquarters world indicate to the Life Carrier supervisors the extent and quality of the mind function of the adjutants on any world and in any given living organism of intellect status. These life-mind emplacements are perfect indicators of living mind function for the first five adjutants. But with regard to the sixth and seventh adjutant spirits — worship and wisdom — these central lodgments record only a qualitative function. The quantitative activity of the adjutant of worship and the adjutant of wisdom is registered in the immediate presence of the Divine Minister on Salvington, being a personal experience of the Universe Mother Spirit. (402.1) 36:5.4 The seven adjutant mind-spirits always accompany the Life Carriers to a new planet, but they should not be regarded as entities; they are more like circuits. The spirits of the seven universe adjutants do not function as personalities apart from the universe presence of the Divine Minister; they are in fact a level of consciousness of the Divine Minister and are always subordinate to the action and presence of their creative mother. (402.2) 36:5.5 We are handicapped for words adequately to designate these seven adjutant mind-spirits. They are ministers of the lower levels of experiential mind, and they may be described, in the order of evolutionary attainment, as follows: (402.3) 36:5.6 1. The spirit of intuition — quick perception, the primitive physical and inherent reflex instincts, the directional and other self-preservative endowments of all mind creations; the only one of the adjutants to function so largely in the lower orders of animal life and the only one to make extensive functional contact with the nonteachable levels of mechanical mind. (402.4) 36:5.7 2. The spirit of understanding — the impulse of co-ordination, the spontaneous and apparently automatic association of ideas. This is the gift of the co-ordination of acquired knowledge, the phenomenon of quick reasoning, rapid judgment, and prompt decision. (402.5) 36:5.8 3. The spirit of courage — the fidelity endowment — in personal beings, the basis of character acquirement and the intellectual root of moral stamina and spiritual bravery. When enlightened by facts and inspired by truth, this becomes the secret of the urge of evolutionary ascension by the channels of intelligent and conscientious self-direction. (402.6) 36:5.9 4. The spirit of knowledge — the curiosity-mother of adventure and discovery, the scientific spirit; the guide and faithful associate of the spirits of courage and counsel; the urge to direct the endowments of courage into useful and progressive paths of growth. (402.7) 36:5.10 5. The spirit of counsel — the social urge, the endowment of species co-operation; the ability of will creatures to harmonize with their fellows; the origin of the gregarious instinct among the more lowly creatures. (402.8) 36:5.11 6. The spirit of worship — the religious impulse, the first differential urge separating mind creatures into the two basic classes of mortal existence. The spirit of worship forever distinguishes the animal of its association from the soulless creatures of mind endowment. Worship is the badge of spiritual-ascension candidacy. (402.9) 36:5.12 7. The spirit of wisdom — the inherent tendency of all moral creatures towards orderly and progressive evolutionary advancement. This is the highest of the adjutants, the spirit co-ordinator and articulator of the work of all the others. This spirit is the secret of that inborn urge of mind creatures which initiates and maintains the practical and effective program of the ascending scale of existence; that gift of living things which accounts for their inexplicable ability to survive and, in survival, to utilize the co-ordination of all their past experience and present opportunities for the acquisition of all of everything that all of the other six mental ministers can mobilize in the mind of the organism concerned. Wisdom is the acme of intellectual performance. Wisdom is the goal of a purely mental and moral existence. (403.1) 36:5.13 The adjutant mind-spirits experientially grow, but they never become personal. They evolve in function, and the function of the first five in the animal orders is to a certain extent essential to the function of all seven as human intellect. This animal relationship makes the adjutants more practically effective as human mind; hence animals are to a certain extent indispensable to man’s intellectual as well as to his physical evolution. (403.2) 36:5.14 These mind-adjutants of a local universe Mother Spirit are related to creature life of intelligence status much as the power centers and physical controllers are related to the nonliving forces of the universe. They perform invaluable service in the mind circuits on the inhabited worlds and are effective collaborators with the Master Physical Controllers, who also serve as controllers and directors of the preadjutant mind levels, the levels of nonteachable or mechanical mind. (403.3) 36:5.15 Living mind, prior to the appearance of capacity to learn from experience, is the ministry domain of the Master Physical Controllers. Creature mind, before acquiring the ability to recognize divinity and worship Deity, is the exclusive domain of the adjutant spirits. With the appearance of the spiritual response of the creature intellect, such created minds at once become superminded, being instantly encircuited in the spirit cycles of the local universe Mother Spirit. (403.4) 36:5.16 The adjutant mind-spirits are in no manner directly related to the diverse and highly spiritual function of the spirit of the personal presence of the Divine Minister, the Holy Spirit of the inhabited worlds; but they are functionally antecedent to, and preparatory for, the appearance of this very spirit in evolutionary man. The adjutants afford the Universe Mother Spirit a varied contact with, and control over, the material living creatures of a local universe, but they do not repercuss in the Supreme Being when acting on prepersonality levels. (403.5) 36:5.17 Nonspiritual mind is either a spirit-energy manifestation or a physical-energy phenomenon. Even human mind, personal mind, has no survival qualities apart from spirit identification. Mind is a divinity bestowal, but it is not immortal when it functions without spirit insight, and when it is devoid of the ability to worship and crave survival. 6. Living Forces (403.6) 36:6.1 Life is both mechanistic and vitalistic — material and spiritual. Ever will Urantia physicists and chemists progress in their understanding of the protoplasmic forms of vegetable and animal life, but never will they be able to produce living organisms. Life is something different from all energy manifestations; even the material life of physical creatures is not inherent in matter. (403.7) 36:6.2 Things material may enjoy an independent existence, but life springs only from life. Mind can be derived only from pre-existent mind. Spirit takes origin only from spirit ancestors. The creature may produce the forms of life, but only a creator personality or a creative force can supply the activating living spark. (404.1) 36:6.3 Life Carriers can organize the material forms, or physical patterns, of living beings, but the Spirit provides the initial spark of life and bestows the endowment of mind. Even the living forms of experimental life which the Life Carriers organize on their Salvington worlds are always devoid of reproductive powers. When the life formulas and the vital patterns are correctly assembled and properly organized, the presence of a Life Carrier is sufficient to initiate life, but all such living organisms are lacking in two essential attributes — mind endowment and reproductive powers. Animal mind and human mind are gifts of the local universe Mother Spirit, functioning through the seven adjutant mind-spirits, while creature ability to reproduce is the specific and personal impartation of the Universe Spirit to the ancestral life plasm inaugurated by the Life Carriers. (404.2) 36:6.4 When the Life Carriers have designed the patterns of life, after they have organized the energy systems, there must occur an additional phenomenon; the “breath of life” must be imparted to these lifeless forms. The Sons of God can construct the forms of life, but it is the Spirit of God who really contributes the vital spark. And when the life thus imparted is spent, then again the remaining material body becomes dead matter. When the bestowed life is exhausted, the body returns to the bosom of the material universe from which it was borrowed by the Life Carriers to serve as a transient vehicle for that life endowment which they conveyed to such a visible association of energy-matter. (404.3) 36:6.5 The life bestowed upon plants and animals by the Life Carriers does not return to the Life Carriers upon the death of plant or animal. The departing life of such a living thing possesses neither identity nor personality; it does not individually survive death. During its existence and the time of its sojourn in the body of matter, it has undergone a change; it has undergone energy evolution and survives only as a part of the cosmic forces of the universe; it does not survive as individual life. The survival of mortal creatures is wholly predicated on the evolvement of an immortal soul within the mortal mind. (404.4) 36:6.6 We speak of life as “energy” and as “force,” but it is really neither. Force-energy is variously gravity responsive; life is not. Pattern is also nonresponsive to gravity, being a configuration of energies that have already fulfilled all gravity-responsive obligations. Life, as such, constitutes the animation of some pattern-configured or otherwise segregated system of energy — material, mindal, or spiritual. (404.5) 36:6.7 There are some things connected with the elaboration of life on the evolutionary planets which are not altogether clear to us. We fully comprehend the physical organization of the electrochemical formulas of the Life Carriers, but we do not wholly understand the nature and source of the life-activation spark. We know that life flows from the Father through the Son and by the Spirit. It is more than possible that the Master Spirits are the sevenfold channel of the river of life which is poured out upon all creation. But we do not comprehend the technique whereby the supervising Master Spirit participates in the initial episode of life bestowal on a new planet. The Ancients of Days, we are confident, also have some part in this inauguration of life on a new world, but we are wholly ignorant of the nature thereof. We do know that the Universe Mother Spirit actually vitalizes the lifeless patterns and imparts to such activated plasm the prerogatives of organismal reproduction. We observe that these three are the levels of God the Sevenfold, sometimes designated as the Supreme Creators of time and space; but otherwise we know little more than Urantia mortals — simply that concept is inherent in the Father, expression in the Son, and life realization in the Spirit. (405.1) 36:6.8 [Indited by a Vorondadek Son stationed on Urantia as an observer and acting in this capacity by request of the Melchizedek Chief of the Supervising Revelatory Corps.]

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, we're happy to catch up with Jen Murphy, the wanderlust Deputy Editor of AFAR magazine. This globe trotting gal grew up on the shores of New Jersey, only to find herself jaunting to far flung beaches and beyond in over 40 countries on 5 continents. Recently, Jen's been in Croatia, Slovenia, London, Colorado (Granby, Crawford, Durango), Verbier, Austin, Asheville, Charleston, Maine, Marrakech, Nambia, Mozambique, Cape Town … just to name a few, but what tips does she have to become a better adventurer. From travel etiquette to cultural practices, assimilating like a local, and asking a bartender where to eat, here's how to make it about both the journey and the destination. This program was brought to you by White Oak Pastures. “If you're on the coast of Cambodia having crabs just out of the water – no matter how good the chef is in New York you can't compare.” [14:00] “Travel makes you so much more appreciate of everything you have.” [25:00] –Jen Murphy on The Food Seen

The Amateur Traveler talks to Carla, Jason and Janie about their trip to Nambia. While traveling in southern African to attend some of the games of the World Cup the three made a visit to nearby Namibia after hearing from friends that it was one of their favorite African countries. Come with us as we learn about a country that is perhaps surprisingly prepared for tourists. We will talk about seeing 4 out of the "big 5" safari animals. Our trio talks about miles of sand, sand storms and riding camels but also talks about visiting the show and seal colonies. The camping was easier than expected and the food was more diverse (you won't believe what they found on pizza).
