What are some arguments for foreign aid?
* Foreign aid is our duty to humanity. After many years of exploitation by colonial powers, it is necessary to give back to developing nations. * Modern industrialized countries often rely on resources from Third World countries, so that foreign aid will, one day, lead to equality in foreign trade. * No nation exists in a vacuum. Ignoring overseas insecurity, poverty and starvation results in instability, genocide and war; it can breed terrorism and spawn disease outbreaks that are capable of becoming pandemic. * Aid is typically guided towards a goal, that is typically meant to improve the economic, social or military capabilities of the receiving country. If the economy of the receiving country is improved, it can typically trade more with the donor country, and thus aid becomes mutually advantageous (the Marshall Plan would give you a good idea on how this works). If the social standards of a country are improved, then stability is insured, and the donor can benefit from it (through trade, through partnerships etc.). If the military capabilities of a country are improved, the donor can expect an ally in the area. For a better account of why aid is given and how aid works, I suggest Jeffrey Sachs' "The Development Challenge" published in Foreign Affairs March/April 2005, vol 84, issue 2.

What causes wiglaf to come to the aid of Beowulf?
Whereas the others in the company are held by the command of their lord (do not interfere; leave this to me), Wiglaf is full of shame that he has been a retainer for many years, has benefited from feasts and gift-giving, but here at this moment he sees that his lord is dying. By disobeying the given order he proves that he is more faithful to his lord than those who simply obey him.
Uganda is an agricultural country (subsistence farming) in fact agriculture accounts for 90% of the population. Uganda has a population of about 23 million people out of which 15 million are women. Subsistence farming is mainly carried out in rural areas of the country on small family plots of land by the rural women (land tittles are in the names of their husbands). We normally refer to them as the basket winners or food producing computers. We call them the silent heroes whose efforts to look after the families have not been recognized at all yet in cultivating food they save lives and change lives! The little that they grow is put to home consumption and if there is any surplus at all it goes to the market to earn a little money in order for the women to be able to purchase other basics like salt, paraffin and also to take care of the children's numerous needs.
In Africa, Uganda was one of those countries that were hit hard by HIV/IADS since the early 80s. Since then the government came up with an openness policy to fight the pandemic. All stake holders have since worked together as a team these included; the government, NGOs, CBOs, Faith Based Organizations, individuals etc. Indeed since then success has been registered in terms of aw in Uganda still faces a lot of problems which have been made worse by this pandemic. She is torn between being player of so many roles and grappling emotionally and physically with the HIV/AIDS dilemma.
The women in Uganda, due cultural tendencies have not had a choice to stay alive. The African culture which gives men liberty to have more than one partner, men can wed in church but at the same time the Ugandan constitution allows traditional /cultural marriages meaning that having more than one wife is normal and not condemned.Secondly for the Moslem men, even where they cannot manage looking after the family, they continue to marry up to four women because the Koran allows it . This culture which empowers men to have as many partners as they can also empowers them to produce as many children as they want and in most cases they do not take care of them it is the women who will make sure that they eat, dress, get education and medication. It should be noted that in African culture and in particular Uganda many children and many wives are seen as a source of power and respect and thus even family planning is seen as an insult to the rural man. The women normally go secretly to the family planning centers and if they are unlucky and the husband finds out, then hell breaks loose, the man marries another woman who is willing to deliver more children and the women are afraid of that.
The above situation has lead to the death of so many innocent rural women due to HIV/AIDS whose orphaned children have been taken care of by their grand parents who are very old to do the digging in order to give them food and as a result the children have taken to the streets as baggers (street children)
Those women who have been fortunate to stay alive , most of whom are weak with lack of retroviral have had to stay on and till the land in order to look after their children and in most cases their husbands . Even in situations where women get to know their status, the men will still continue asking them for sex and refusal is taboo as punishments can be unlashed on them by their husbands. Such punishments include abandoning of the woman and her children, marrying other women or chasing them away from their homes.
In rural Uganda, the women work from dawn to sunset yet what they harvest cannot even allow them to have more than one meal a day, normally they have the evening meal of the day which is not even balanced because all the good food and vegetable that they grow, they have to sell to buy essentials. Their children go malnourished and as such even when the children go to school they are never attentive because the bodies are too weak.
The situation has been worse in the war torn areas of Northern Uganda, where the rebels of the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) have been very brutal to the rural women and the children. . Where women in the Internally Displaced Camps (IDP) have had to take up their role as the basket winners, look after the family and at the same time bear the abuse of a husband who will still take on another wife even under such situations. Women have contracted HIV/Aids both from their husbands and from being raped by the rebels. The women have been traumatized but life has to go on. Currently the government has tries to take families back to their homes so that they can lead normal lives but for the rural woman normal life means toiling away on the land from morning till when the cows come home (evening)
There is an urgent need to carefully re examine the fruitless , over burdened roles of the rural woman who is currently playing the roles of ; a miserable mother , a miserable cultivator/ bread winner ,a miserable wife without rights to a role of a proud mother , a knowledgeable wife who knows her rights, a meaningful income contributor and a saver.
This new product of a woman will go a long way in improving her life, that of her children the family and the community in general with self esteem and confidence.
Some charity organizations like the one I represent (Foundation for women and youth in development) FOWAYODE have thought of the following to help improve the lives of the rural women-
-First and fore most to sensitize them about their rights and build confidence in them in order for them to be able to face upcoming challenges
-we should come up with small income generating activities for the rural women on top of agriculture in order to subsides their income. These would include: poultry, piggery, goat rearing, snack making, tailoring, weaving, baking etc.
-sensitizing and encouraging the women to go for testing of HIV/AIDS in order for them to know their status
-sensitizing them on simple accounting skills and a saving culture. Encourage them to pull the little resources they have by saving it through the micro finance institutions in their localities.. When the savings have grown they can trade together as a group for example buying maize seeds and selling them to the World food programme and other buyer's etc

There is so much to be done to help the rural woman who is so disadvantaged because of the backward cultural tendencies and primitive agricultural methods which have been aggravated with the HIV/AIDS pandemic. We believe that a woman is the history, the present, the future and the backbone of any nation since they give birth to children, they nurture them and see them grow into citizens who take up roles for a nation's development and for that programmes should be formulated to protect them and also improve their lives for they have so many hats (mothers, wives and bread earners.)
Based on these percentages alone, it is not possible to determine if someone has HIV/AIDS. Diagnosis of HIV/AIDS requires specific laboratory tests to detect the presence of the virus. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and testing.

What diseases can you get from the sun?
While sunlight is essential for many biological processes and provides us with vitamin D, excessive or unprotected exposure to the sun can lead to certain health issues. Here are some diseases and conditions associated with sun exposure:
Sunburn: Overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can cause sunburn, characterized by red, painful skin. Severe sunburns can lead to blistering and peeling.
Skin Cancer: Prolonged exposure to UV radiation is a major risk factor for the development of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.
Photodermatitis: Some individuals may experience an allergic reaction to sunlight, known as photodermatitis. It can manifest as redness, itching, and blisters.
Actinic Keratosis: This is a precancerous skin condition caused by sun damage. It appears as rough, scaly patches on the skin.
Cataracts: Long-term exposure to UV radiation is associated with an increased risk of developing cataracts, a clouding of the eye's lens that can impair vision.
Eye Damage: UV radiation can also cause damage to the delicate tissues of the eyes, leading to conditions such as photokeratitis (similar to sunburn of the cornea) and other eye disorders.
Immune Suppression: Prolonged sun exposure may suppress the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections and illnesses.
Heat-Related Illnesses: Excessive heat from the sun can lead to heat-related illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heatstroke, especially during hot weather or prolonged physical activity.
It's important to note that moderate sun exposure is generally beneficial for health, as it promotes vitamin D synthesis, which is crucial for bone health and immune function. However, it's essential to practice sun safety:
Use Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF before going outdoors, and reapply as needed.
Protective Clothing: Wear hats, sunglasses, and clothing that provide sun protection.
Avoid Peak Sun Hours: Limit outdoor activities during the peak hours of sunlight (usually 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.).
Seek Shade: When outdoors, seek shade, especially during the sun's strongest hours.
What are Characteristics of Audio Visual Aids?
Characteristics of audio visual aids are the different qualities or features that make them helpful in teaching and learning. Audio visual aids refer to tools or materials that combine both sight and sound to present information.
These aids can be things like videos, PowerPoint presentations, diagrams, charts, or pictures that include sound or narration. They are used to make learning more interesting and easier to understand.
The characteristics of audio visual aids include:
-
Visual representation: They provide visual images that help students see and understand information better. For example, a video showing how a volcano erupts makes it easier to visualize the process.
-
Auditory reinforcement: Audio visual aids include sound or narration that helps reinforce the information being presented. For instance, a PowerPoint presentation with an audio explanation can help students remember the content more effectively.
-
Engaging and interactive: They make the learning experience more engaging and interactive, capturing students' attention and encouraging active participation. For instance, a class discussion prompted by a visual aid encourages students to share their thoughts and ask questions.
Overall, audio visual aids are great tools because they make learning more enjoyable, enhance understanding, and promote active participation in the learning process.
Was Lisa Left Eye Lopez HIV positive when she died?
There is no way to know for sure if Left Eye Lopez was HIV positive at the time of her death. There was speculation and rumor when TLC first came out in 1991, because she wore the condom over her Left Eye, and later because of her work with HIV / Safe Sex organizations and charities, along with the reference to HIV/AIDS the video for TLC song Waterfalls which Left Eye Lopez herself wrote. Additional speculation and rumor occurred after her death by car accident in Honduras. This was due primarily because the doctor she went to Central America to visit Dr. Sebi is known for his unsubstantiated claims that he has the 'cure' for AIDS. In addition, the sheer fact that AIDS is the number one killer African-Americans ages 19 to 44 in the United States, in and of itself may cause speculation, and fuel curiosity. If she would have lived she would be 40 years old and within this age group, as many of her contemporaries within the black community are. AIDS is a very real, and *very deadly epidemic.
*Please, it does not have to be! In her honor, go beyond curiosity, get tested be safe.
