Obama will host a Leader’s Summit on Refugees

 On September 20, President Obama will host a Leader’s Summit on Refugees on the margins of the 71st session of the UN General Assembly. Earlier this week, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power met with Permanent Representatives to the United Nations and others representing the co-hosts for the Summit – Canada, Ethiopia, Germany, Jordan, Mexico, Sweden and the UN Secretary General.  The Leaders’ Summit co-hosts pledged to work closely together to advance the objectives of the Summit, not only through direct action but also through concerted efforts to urge and support robust action by the other UN Member States.

With 20 million refugees around the world, a comprehensive, collective international effort to strengthen refugee protection and assistance is more critical than ever.  The co-hosts for the Summit all recognize that the international community must do more to protect and assist refugees.  Humanitarian appeals are at record levels, yet are underfunded. Massive numbers of refugees are turning to dangerous and illegal smuggling networks in search of safety; and millions more face long-term dependency in first asylum countries, without access to lawful employment and education.  In the lead up to the UNGA, the co-hosts, and other UN Member States that join this effort will make concrete commitments to address these challenges, and all new and significant commitments made during 2016 will be recognized at the Leaders’ Summit.

TRAIN TEACHERS HOW TO EMPOWER THE YOUNG TO BECOME THINKERS AND MANAGERS.

The education system must address solutions to everyday problems.

The best time to introduce empowerment skills is at primary school before children had time to copy-cat the behaviour of self-destructive elders.

Children should grow up with an attitude of finding solutions for problems instead of blaming the apartheid system, the government or other external sources for everyday problems within their communities.

The days of thieves, beggars and handout should be over. If a gate breaks on a prosperous farm, the workers know that it needs to be fixed. Domestic workers know how to clean. People who have the skill and intelligence to build shacks should be able to maintain toilets.

The missing link is management and self-motivation skills.

It is easier to blame, and beg that to take charge.   We see this trend even among our leaders.

It is the time that our education system teach our teachers how to educate parents and their children on management and self-motivation.

NB – FIRST TRAIN THE TEACHERS because many of them still think that strike action is the only way to solve problems and that violence and vandalism are part and parcel of such action to force other to solve problems they should be capable of doing themselves.  

Many teachers will moan when the roof of their classroom leaks or a window is broken, without getting on the phone to find someone who can fix it.

It is a pity too that many newspaper reporters are more interested in sensationalism than to give alternative viewpoints that can empower the community.

Municipalities should be ready to help communities who are willing to help themselves free of charge, for instance, mMunicipal workers can supervise and provide materials while the community takes care of  after its own repairs.

Our schools should be nation builders also.

Dear Mr President

Dear Mr President

It is most important to remember that a strong economy can resolve most social  problems within the society. We need to put the economy first.

Every name change of a street or town cost millions in wasted time and money. Create new names for new for forgotten heroes. Do not waste time breaking down old statues of unpopular heroes -  now villains that remind us of past injustices- .   We can simply add updated plaques to outdated statues.

It is time for South Africans to use a mental and not an emotional approach when implementing changes for business strategies, rules, or regulations. Too much time is wasted on red tape and meetings that go nowhere or strangle cash and production output.

It is time for the nation's presidents to choose ministers who will not allow emotionalism and revenge for past injustices to cloud decisions that influence the economy.

The main reason why some ministers push BBBBBE at the expense of the economy is to gain popularity and votes or because they are racist. Empowering the suppressed race or gender should be done by creating new avenues and not by stealing it from successful managers.

It is important to empower the poor or suppressed race. The fact that there are still more white managers than black managers in certain professions or areas is because the government spent so much time weaving red tape to try and steal power from one race and give it to another that they neglected to build grass-root powerhouses for black management.

The South African Government has been breaking the power of white managers for more than two decades.

It is time to leave business employment restrictions out of profitable establishments.

A white boss may find white workers more compatible and manageable, while a Black or Indian bosses will feel the same about workers that come from their own familiar backgrounds.

The remedy is to train black people on how to build companies.

Overseas economies benefit at the expense of South Africa every time red-tape force a white boss to emigrate.

About communication.

A company can never replace a telephonist, that is well versed with the companies workings, with an electronic answering system. The first voice one hears at the other end of the business telephone number should be one of the best experienced and educated business personnel.

A good telephonist should be able to speak with a dialect the enquirer feels comfortable with.    Many English people can not speak legible Bantu languages, while Xhosa speaking telephonists often speak illegible English or Afrikaans.   

 This problem can be solved if the  telephonist, after the greeting connects the enquirer to a tongue that will make him/her  feel at home - so to speak.    

Matching accents may be more profitable in the long run than we realize.

People underestimate the telephonic gateway to a business. The business greeting is often replaced by an electronic voice or comes from one of the least experienced personnel or an illegible voice.

I have often cut a conversation short because I could not argue with a voice recorder or understand an accent on the other side of the phone line.

Companies often spend millions on the advertising billboards and websites, just to loose it all in a phone inquiry.

Concerned by a global monkey political trend,

We can show the world Mr. President

 Ex Unitate Vires

Views in this post are of a personal nature.

Racism Kills prosperity

Some of the media and politicians may be trying to fuel racism in order to promote their own superiority of line their pockets.

A statement that whites occupies more managerial positions than other races may be a form of hate speech.
If there is a problem with the superiority of white management, education should be geared to even the score. Government departments simply choose the person with the highest qualification and experience to do the best job, and so it should be. Racism and red tape are responsible for so many delays in service delivery.
No country can not afford to replace its top management so that it conform to a skin color code.

It will be a more positive and financially viable move if we create new business opportunities in order to color the white squares on the business-world-chessboard into an even gray in black dominated countries. (Mixing old white businesses with new, (from the ground up) nonwhite businesses)

Financial growth in should never be crippled to implement an emotional racist ideal.
We should welcome all Local businesses.
We should allow the racial group who financed a new business venture and built it up from the ground the staff that he could best train to become future managers.
When one race dominates in any country, with equal opportunities and the right international relationships, the dominating race will eventually rule without the need for suppression of any other group.
Countries who underestimate the power of the international community will remain poor.

Countries who puts their trust in the promises of nations who have more hungry mouths to feed than they can support will become the bread baskets for foreign continents while its own people starve.
No foreign country invests in another if it does not see an opportunity to bleed its resources – even if they use charity as a blind to fool the leadership.
Always engage with the international business world with equal sharing opportunities in mind.

Do not take bribe or loans. Eventually, they will need to be paid back and that often happens when a country can ill afford it. It then will need to sell its soul to pay the debt.
Never forget that a healthy economy is needed for a healthy social structure.

We all need to become aware of news reporters and politicians who fuel racial debates in order to gain popularity.

NAVIGATE TO "SOLUTIONS THAT HEAL"

FIREFIGHTERS WHO CREATE WORK OPPORTUNITIES FOR MORE OVERTIME PAY

FIREFIGHTERS WHO ARE ARSONISTS

It has been suggested and proved globally that some fires are started by firefighters, either for the Adrenaline rush or to supplement their wages, especially over the holiday season when alcohol consumption is more likely to cloud their’ judgement.

Firefighters should not be paid for emergency call-outs, but it should be part of their job description and reflect in their generous salaries.

Firefighters should be paid a maintenance fee plus a top-up fee for emergency calls. The top-up should be based on the average emergency call-out statistics from previous years.

The above policy will prevent arsonists from gaining financially by lighting illegal fires.

The emergency top-up fees should be paid whether they are called out or not.

If they are however not available when called out, they should be docked per hour from their top-up salary.  If the hours they are absent exceed the month's allowance for emergency callout, the remainder can be docked from their next salary.

Firefighters' should be supplemented by a volunteer group of men and women who do not draw wages at all. This volunteer group should consist of people who can afford to give their time to help others in need.

It is time that South Africa comes into line with first world countries and learn how to share.

The above policy will prevent arsonists from gaining financially by lighting illegal fires.

(Please note that there is no evidence that links South African firefighters to any arsonist activities.)

BABY 2000 IS EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD

I was reminded of a group prayer that was sent out eighteen  years ago.

Perhaps the student unrest  may still make it happen.

Here is a copy of the the post on a website that no longer exists.   It was also titled HEAL AFRICA (It has no connection with the current website that uses that name today)

The prayer is that all children born after 2000 has the ability to receive the kind of education that will empower them to develop their own unique skills and become leaders in their own special fields.

That the education system honor each child’s uniqueness.

This is how to join:

(Link up (in your mind's eye)  to the prayer group  at 6 p.m. daily - or at any other time that suits you)

Become aware of the love within your heart, and within your "minds-eye" (imagine) see a group of people of goodwill from all over the world

.

Feel yourself to be one of them. Their identities do not matter.

Now in your minds eye see how each child who enters school in the new millennium receives an education that will encourage the development of his/her own special skills so that she/he can grow into a loving worthy adult and become a leader in his/her own special unique field.

Ask that it is done

Amen.

Our children are the leaders of tomorrow. It is in their hands that the future of Our Country will rest. Let's all join together in daily prayer.

FREE EDUCATION ON A ZERO BUDGET REQUIRES INTELLEGENT DEBATE

Students should not only ask for free education.
They should debate on the

Quality of education they need,

 Teachers training and

Where the money going to come from to teachers wages, training and establishment upkeep.

Remember one can not build a social structure on a zero budget.


Remember also a zero budget from the mouth of a politician means that the country is already deep in debt.

Money for education needs to be creamed from somewhere in our society in a way that it does not infringe on existing medical and social budgets or increase stress among the poor and elderly etc.

A country in debt means it will need to sell its soul at a later date to incur further loans and eventually it will fall prey to the highest bidder.

A DELAYED SUCCESS IS BETTER THAN A TOTAL FAILURE

In September 2005, At the UN World Summit all 191 United Nation Member states pledged to meet the eight goals by 2015

"We will have time to reach the Millennium Development Goals – worldwide and in most, or even all, individual countries – but only if we break with business as usual.

We cannot win overnight. Success will require sustained action across the entire decade between now and the deadline. It takes time to train the teachers, nurses and engineers; to build the roads, schools and hospitals; to grow the small and large businesses able to create the jobs and income needed. So we must start now. And we must more than double global development assistance over the next few years. Nothing less will help to achieve

the Goals."

United Nations Secretary-General

Kofi A. Annan

Goal 1:

Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

Reduce by half the proportion of people living on less than a dollar a day.

Reduce by half the proportion of people who suffer from hunger

Goal 2:

Achieve universal primary education.

Ensure that all boys and girls complete a full course of primary schooling

Goal 3:

Promote gender equality and empower woman.

Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education preferably by 2005, and at all levels by 2015

Goal 4:

Reduce child mortality.

Reduce by two thirds the mortality rate among children under five

Goal 5:

Improve maternal health

Reduce by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio

Goal 6:

Combat HIV/AIDS

Halt and begin to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS

Halt and begin to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases

Goal 7

Ensure Environmental sustainability

Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes; reverse loss of environmental resources

Reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water

Achieve significant improvement in lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers, by 2020

Goal 8

Develop global partnership for development.

Develop further an open trading and financial system that is rule-based, predictable and non-discriminatory, includes a commitment to good governance, development and poverty reduction— nationally and internationally

Address the least developed countries' special needs. This includes tariff- and quota-free access for their exports; enhanced debt relief for heavily indebted poor countries; cancellation of official bilateral debt; and more generous official development assistance for countries committed to poverty reduction

Address the special needs of landlocked and small island developing States

Deal comprehensively with developing countries' debt problems through national and international measures to make debt sustainable in the long term

In cooperation with the developing countries, develop decent and productive work for youth

In cooperation with pharmaceutical companies, provide access to affordable essential drugs in developing countries

In cooperation with the private sector, make available the benefits of new technologies— especially information and communications technologies

Thoughts to ponder July 2015

FREEDOM IS FOCUSING ON TODAY, AND TO DO THE BEST YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE NOW.

Do not die fighting for freedom.   Bondage lies in 'looking over the shoulder to blame'.

War cripples a country and kills people you love.
War destroys the economies of nations.
We can not eat bullets.


Choose peace through education and employment.

Do not vote for militant self righteous leaders .with empty promises.

Learn about the economy.

Struggling companies can not afford wage increase, bonuses for management and an unfair gap between the workers and the bosses.

It is a good idea to consider the damage that a strike will do to the general economy.   It will affect the pensions that of the elderly and those who struggles and it will increase taxes.

If the union leader, who urges workers to strike, has a round fat shiny head,  he possibly lives from the proceeds of strife.   Think before you act.

IMMUNIZE CHILDREN AGAINST DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE

SUBSTANCE ABUSE IMMUNIZATION.

EMPOWER ALL CHILDREN TO USE THEIR RIGHT TO SAY NO TO DRUGS

Immunize children against drug and alcohol abuse, with early education to give them the tools to say no to substances that overshadow their thinking ability.

Whenever there is an outbreak of any life-threatening disease, we are quick to develop drugs to immunize us against it spreading, but we seem to remain powerless against to increasing drug addictions in schools.

DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE DESTROY MORE LIVES THAN ANY DISEASE OR WAR IN HISTORY.

Drug and alcohol abuse destroys more lives than any disease or war in history, yet we do little to immunize the minds of our youth against addiction to foreign substances.

We can prevent people falling into the drug-trap by teaching little children about the side effects and control that addictive substance has over our lives.

THE WORLD NEEDS A GENERATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE IN FULL CONTROL OF THEIR THINKING ABILITIES AT ALL TIMES

The ability to ‘say no to drugs’ must be established in the consciousness of children long before they are subjected to it. Drug immunity education should begin at kindergarten and continue throughout their school life. It should be presented to the children by means of age related film, art and discussion.

Halfway through every television program there should be one free self empowerment advertisement. This should form part of the licence for a television company to operate in South Africa.

Our aim should be to create a generation of responsible young people who will be in full control of their mental capacities at all times.

ALCOHOL AND DRUGS ACT LIKE FOREIGN CONTROLLING ENTITIES.

It should be understood that someone who abuse alcohol or drugs, literally lends the control of his/her thinking ability to a stranger. - The drug or alcohol.

IF ONE IS NOT IN CHARGE OF ONES LIFE, SOMEONE OR SOMETHING ELSE IS

Taking drugs or alcohol is like lending ones most precious possession, ones brain power, to a stranger. Why trust a drug or any foreign substance willingly with ones actions.

Being ‘blind drunk’ could be viewed as a temporary form of suicide or coma.

Many people never fully recover from a coma.

People may undergo a change in personality, when the substance is in charge of their brains. Some people like the escape from reality. They like the temporary confidence that the new drug is giving.

Eventually the crash comes.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE CAUSES A DEADENING OF THE MIND EMOTIONS RESULTING IN DISEASE AND DESTRUCTION OF EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD.

The body and emotions can take only so much abuse, and as time goes by the nervous system ceases to respond to logic and emotional stimuli. Other bodily organs may also fail and the person may find that he/she may be on the wrong side of the law, worse still – in jail with the only excuse that ‘It was not me who did that’

The fact is that it is you because when you lend your vehicle to a stranger, you should be responsible for traffic fines.

Your body is a vehicle driven by your intellect (your natural computer).

Say no to drugs and alcohol from the start. That "feeling" it gives you is the secret code that will imprison you. It infiltrates your desires and you decision making ability of your brain in the same way as a virus infects a computer. Before it crashes, there are signs of changed or diminished responsibility.

THE CRASH IS NEAR

Perhaps your parents became upset by your behavior. Perhaps they may even have said "I don't know you any more” When that happens, you have sold your sole to a stranger and all you will get in return are some memories of feeling in charge and having a good time. Soon, it may even feel better to sell your sole to drugs, because the real self may have more problems than it can cope with.

If you took drugs willingly, you are not the victim. You need to pay the price for your actions.

You wasted a God-given life and possibly the lives of other.

ENERGY ANATOMY

The new anatomy describes an ‘invisible’ magnetic protection layer or health aura ‘my space’ around the body.

One can experience an invasion of the ‘my space’ when someone stands too close. In ‘my space’.

Narcotic substances can create permanent weak spots or tears in the ‘my space’ magnetic protective aura.

This can lead to the possession or invasion of entities, insanity or disease.

Some alternative practices use drugs to loosen the consciousness from the confinement of the brain – going on trips. This remains a dangerous practice. Even under controlled circumstances.

Life is short enough; I cannot understand why people force themselves to experience other existences when they should be focusing on their reason for incarnating on this earth.

ABOUT CABINET MINISTERS DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

ADVISERS TO THE PRESIDENT

Friday, 28 November 2014
Cabinet ministers should be individuals who are nationally the most qualified in their sector of command.

The advisers (ministers) to the president of a country should be chosen from the best equip to influence the ruling of a nation.
Having the most qualified advisers could be an election incentive.
To give examples:

A minister for mining (mineral resources):
 should have the appropriate degrees and experience to run a mining operation. 
He/she should definitely be one who had experience of working conditions below and above the surface.
He/She must have experience to compete on global and national platforms.
He/She should have a good understanding of the neutralization process of mining waste and what impact it has on the environment.
He/She should be able to do an objective environmental assessment and analysis before implementing new projects, and be able to pilot or find alternative solutions to public concerns.   Too many leaders use job creation as the prime reason to push their projects.
He/she needs to be a good speaker and listener. 
He/she needs the ability to evaluate the best course of action for the present, while having an understanding of the future human, financial and environmental impact of his decisions.

He/she needs to realize that Mining is primary an operation that should create prosperity for the country where it is mined.
Proceeds of a mining operation should alleviate poverty of the whole nation and not just a region.

He needs to understand that the raw products of mining are a national asset as well as a global commodity.   We live on one earth, which we all should share.

The minister of health
 should be a qualified professor of medicine and have previous experience of being a chief medical adviser at a hospital or medical institution, either practical or educational.

He/She should have experience of handling the needs of doctors, nurses and auxiliary workers in both private and state run medical facilities.

He/She should have qualifications/experience in psychology, communication, and the medical needs of the majority citizens and those of the poor and have some interest in addressing the medical needs of all citizens.
All cabinet ministers should also have a reasonable understanding of the law, mathematics and be able to do a statistical analysis, or run pilot programs in case of public concerns.

They should be good motivational and nation building speaker who can address and take responsibility for failures.

There should be a bridging course for leaders or company executives to enable them to acquire above skills as well as training in human resource management, communication and psychology.

All leaders should run their sectors so that it creates better human conditions.
We had our share of ministers, who can only rule by blaming someone or something else, take advice from incompetent dreamers, or push their product by playing on the sentiments of the public by promising job creation.

HEAL THE INNER CHILD OF AFRICA

WAR AND PEACE‎ > ‎

Heal the INNER CHILD of developing countries

There are many African children and adults, who grow/grew up in militant environments. 
Some of them are politicians today. 
Some will be the leaders of tomorrow.  
They have/are militant leaders.
There roll models are/where “Freedom Fighters”.
They regard fighting for the freedom of their countries as their life's destinies.

They dream about having an enemy to kill and to follow in the footsteps of those who fight before them.

Singing war songs and songs about slaying enemies of the past helps them to seal their fate.
Their fate is one of having an enemy to fight.    
 
In many cases they could strip a gun, before they could recite the ABC.
Many of them never completed their schooling.

Food and personal possessions may be (where) scarce, but guns and ammunition where regarded as prized possessions. 

They would dream about owning the best assault rifles like their  worldly counterparts reamed about owning the latest cars.

When democracy came to Africa  the freedom-fighters were not prepared for peace.  

Democratic peace and possessions offered no challenge. 
The truth-commission satisfied their lust for revenge for a while, 
but they were not programmed for peace.


People became restless.   Their souls urged them to fulfill their destinies, their reason for being.   
 What does a fighter do when the fight is over?
All that life taught them was how to fight the enemy so they started to create divisions within their societies and nations. 
They separated the colors in the rainbow, because a rainbow nation includes no opportunity to  fight. 
 It was easy to make all white people and foreigners their enemy.
 Fighting them is all they knew how to do.   

In order to heal Africa we need to find ways to heal the ‘inner-child’ of the nations and its leaders.

While the inner-child of the developing world remained untreated, the seeds of peace will have to wait generations to grow.    
Only skills development education and positive leadership can heal the leaders of tomorrow.


We need to find a way to reach out to the injured ‘inner core of society’, of the world and teach them that love and forgiveness, not revenge and war lead to freedom.
Freedom is not fighting, it is embracing unity.


Only when we become world citizens can we heal the earth.

Written 3 September 2011 by Rose W and edited by EX UNITATE VIRES 21-11-2014

When your neighbor has more than you,

it does not make you poorer

Each person gets to enjoy the fruit of his/her labors

You can build your success alongside that of your neighbor,

Don't indulged in jealousy, but use your neighbor as a roll model.

Like attracts like,

You are lucky to have him/her in your environment.

A country in debt follows a road to bondage or slavery.

A country in dept can never be a global financial leader.   Such nations can only have power in their local newspapers, but to their foreign competitors they are incompetent fools.

Borrowed money should only be a band-aid, for a very brief period, until the wound heals.

A wound that is too big to heal within the allocated time, needs surgery.

(Drastic internal strategies)

Financial drain often leaks into the pockets of top wage earners and government leaders who consider themselves financially untouchable kings.

African nations must be careful of taking a financial gift in exchange of favors.   Those favors may be invisible shackles of slavery.

Be free Africa.  Be strong Africa.    

Be governable Africa.

Owe nothing to anyone.  

Beg nothing from anyone.

Fight against theft, corruption, racism and violence.

Let the past be in the past, a lesson learned, and strive towards new lessons of the future,

 ground the vision, of the  rainbow nation, of freedom for all citizens.

EX UNITATE VIRES.

People should all be free to create their own success without being robbed of it.

The people of South Africa are not free.

While city dwellers have to live behind bars and security systems, there is no freedom.

While robbers, rapists and murderers rule the country, there is no freedom.

South Africa merely swapped the bondage of Apartheid for the bondage of crime, corruption and violence.

For something to heal there should first be the recognition of the problem.

While we live in a make-believe bubble of peace, we will never experience freedom.

We still need to fight for freedom.

We need to fight crime, corruption and violence, while we envisage the type of future we want.

We need to have a true vision what freedom is and work towards it.

If we cannot put strong boundaries around our freedom-vision where there are equal opportunities and peace for all people, then we cannot create it.

We cannot create something that we cannot envisage.

Freedom must have the same meaning for all people; otherwise, we shatter the combined effort.

South Africa should strive for that rainbow that signals the end of all bondage.

The end of the bondage of fear,

The end of the bondage of poverty and

The end of the bondage of limitation.

We should all be free to create our own success without being robbed of it.

2015, A YEAR OF JUDGEMENT

During 2015, the eyes of the world will be on African governments.  The world will analyze statistical data relating to crime, unemployment health care, corruption and land use.

They will measure poverty, unemployment, and the gap between rich and poor.

Above all, they will analyze government spending and look at why and how donations and opportunities to make poverty history by 2015 failed.

Governments will be classified, not only by their ability to create and maintain good human relations for all citizens and their ability to handle conflict situations but also on their ability to be global partners.

Aid and donations to third world nations will not continue as before.   Governments who failed will be by passed and those who attempted to create peace and prosperity will be further boosted.

2015 will be a year of judgement for all national rulers.   

Which rulers will weigh too light?

Which leaders will be classed as incompetent fools?
