Fellow Eritreans, The third installment on the Ministry of Information’s famous “Mideast Papers” has just arrived. So far, we wouldn’t be surprised if fellow readers have been impatient with the Ministry of Information Serving Truth, and kept asking: “Where is beef?” This time around though we are indeed served the beef – in fact, three kinds of beef! The Ministry of Truth has identified with pinpointed precision the three main reasons as to why the people in Middle East are fed up with their governments that were unable to implement, the way Eritrea has done, three key policies:(a) National Harmony - “Hade Libi, Hade Hizb i” (b) Economic and Social Justice – Wefri Warsai-Yikealo (c) Independent path – Self-Reliance or “bitsifrna ”Hade Libi Hade Hizbi The Ministry of Truth’s first insight into the Mideast unrest is that nations like Egypt have failed because they have no “National Harmony” programs similar to PFDJ’s immensely successful and popular “Hade Libi, Hade Hizbii ” policy: “Its actual implementation calls for firm conviction and commitment on the part of the government. The realization of such a major national objective requires continuous campaign, cultural programs and follow ups. The main failure of governments in this regard lies not in the theoretical concepts but rather the scope of commitment for its actual implementation.” If the Egyptian government have had the number and duration of elaborate festivals the Isaias regime conducts – Fenkil Festival, Nadew Festival, Women’s Day, Martyrs’ Day, Labor Day, The Independence Day, etc – [and in all cases, the term “day” is misnomer, for in some cases the festival lasts weeks], where every ethnic group is allowed to drink, dance and sing to their hearts’ fill, all proudly clad in their ethnic dresses, the nation’s harmony wouldn’t have frayed and, in the end, caused such an upheaval. The Ministry of Truth’s golden advice on how a nation attains “Hade Libi, Hade Hizb i” status: Middle East is burning because, unlike Eritrea, they don’t have cultural troupes – made up of the likes “Gual Ankere”, “Fihira” Faytinga, Kuni, Bekhita Ali, etc – criss-crossing the nation in order to cement the national harmony.Wefri Warsai-Yikealo Here is what the Ministry of Truth says regarding “Economic and Social Justice”: “A just political system cannot be instituted short of a developed and just economic order. Political democracy too does not have any foundation without socio-economic. ” We get it: democracy has to wait until the nation develops economically! For the record though, isn’t that what Tunisia and Egypt have been doing? Have Gaddafi, Ben Ali or Mubarak ever got Isaias’ lovely order of “development first, democracy second” wrong? Isaias, Isaias, please be fair when it comes to your former friends! It is true that they failed to implement your impressive Wrasai-Yikealo project, but to blame them for having put democracy first and development second is tantamount to treason in the Book of Authoritarian Leaders.On the merit of Wefri Warsay-Yikealo, this is what the Ministry of Serving Anything but the Truth says: “In light of this, nation-building and upgrading people’s standard of living is a process that cannot be viewed in isolation. It is obvious that nation-building could not be achieved short of active popular participation which could only be ensured through implementing development programs in the interest of the entire population .” Of course, the popular participation that the Ministry is alluding to is nothing but the spectacularly successful Warsai-Yikealo project. That is to say, if Egypt had tied all its youth in a slave labor in the Egyptian desert building micro dams (forget the non-selfreliantly built Aswan dam – that is the root of the problem!), it wouldn’t have had to face the uprising from the youth. After all, however perverted it is, the Ministry of Truth seems to have finally blurted out some truth: do not allow the youth to sit idle in the cities! Bistifrina – Self-reliance Now we have come to the icing in the cake: nations like Libya, Tunisia and Egypt are falling like a house of cards because, unlike the glorious Eritrean economy that is the envy not only of our jealous neighbors but also of the entire world, their economies were never self-reliant! There you have it: the truth, nothing but whole the truth! Here is how the notoriously truthful Shabait.com puts it:“Under this global scenario, it demands the requisite political will and strong courage to pursue political and economic path free from dependency. … In this regard, resorting to the principle of self-reliance is imperative. Viewed within this framework, the nations that resolutely pursued an independent path are the ones that emerged victorious, while those which compromised their independent choice are being exposed to all-round failure.” Of course, the nation that has been most victorious in this regard is none other than our dear Eritrea – a shining example to the rest of the world! And so what does the Ministry of Truth tells the world as to the secret ingredient to Eritrea’s exemplary success: if the Arab citizens were to be made to queue for “riga bani” in the wee hours of morning under a self-reliant economy like Eritrea’s, and were consistently made to think only of where the next meal would be coming from, they wouldn’t have been rioting in the streets. The advice: keep them half-starved. Again, the Ministry of Truth seems to have stumbled on some kind of truth – however pervert that truth happens to be.Conclusion: The Ministry of Information is trying to justify the three main policies of the regime that have been instrumental in controlling the masses: (a) Give the masses one festival after another – “guaila” has been the Eritrean version of the opium of the masses; (b) Kick the youth out of the cities – wherever they may end up. (c) Keep the nation insulated from the rest of the world – hence, the need for self-reliance.Below is the third installment on the “Mideast Papers” from the Ministry of Information as put in Shabait.com..............................................................................................................................................Popular Unprising: Eve of the End of Era of Domination and transition to New World Order (P.II)Key factors for national security and stability As mentioned in the first part of this article, the current stage in world history is characterized with monopoly and marginalization in different parts of the world in conflict with mounting popular resistance. It is a historic junction in which people all over the world are demanding social justice and coexistence in harmony. Although popular opposition manifested in various corners has distinctive feature of its own in one way or the other, the overall cause, however, is not that different from one another. Hence, in order to have profound understanding of this basic fact, it is imperative to identify the decisive factors that determine the stability of a given nation and society. What distinguishes humans from other creatures is the fact that they lead a social life. As communal pattern of living gains momentum, the guarantee for having better control over resources and the possibility of leading improved life becomes possible. Thus, the formation of nation states which opened bright prospects for higher lifestyle constitutes the highest form of social organization in the contemporary world. Peoples and nations everywhere strive for a common goal towards leading improved standard of living under conducive atmosphere. However, social stability and integrity are decisive factors to achieve this lofty objective, which in turn determine the success of the nation-building process. The main indicators of a stable society could be classified under three categories: 1. National harmony 2. Economic and social justice 3. Independent path 1. National Harmony Although national harmony and integrity are the decisive factors for realizing the objectives of peoples and nations, it is an asset that cannot be attained easily, for building a nation involves a long and protracted process. The majority of states, especially those that were under colonial rule comprise nationals divided along the lines of ethnicity, language, culture and religious groups. Such pattern of nation formation makes nation-building a demanding task. Hence, it is imperative that any government seeking to build a viable nation needs to seriously ponder over the task of governing the people without any discrimination based on ethnicity, language, religion, gender, class and others. In doing so, it could promote social harmony and mutual respect among the people. Although goodwill and awareness, as well as the formulation of the necessary laws and policies make due contribution to this end, the mere incorporation of these factors in the national charter could not at all ensure national harmony. Its actual implementation calls for firm conviction and commitment on the part of the government. The realization of such a major national objective requires continuous campaign, cultural programs and follow ups. The main failure of governments in this regard lies not in the theoretical concepts but rather the scope of commitment for its actual implementation. 2. Economic and Social JusticeA just political system cannot be instituted short of a developed and just economic order. Political democracy too does not have any foundation without socio-economic democracy. Hence, the nature of the economic order is the one that determines the type of a political system. Regardless of political will and pledges, such goals cannot be attained without building a strong national economy that ensures the participation and benefit of all, equitable allocation of natural resources, and above all equitable opportunities. In light of this, nation-building and upgrading people’s standard of living is a process that cannot be viewed in isolation. It is obvious that nation-building could not be achieved short of active popular participation which could only be ensured through implementing development programs in the interest of the entire population. It is imperative for any government keen to build a viable nation to clearly spell out objectives and principles aimed at ensuring equal participation of all citizens in national issues and equitable allocation of resources. To this end, it should formulate the necessary policies and regulations, as well as strong commitment for attaining the set goal. Special attention should also be given to improve the lifestyle of marginalized sections of the society. In other words, a just economic growth must be instituted, as equitable development of all sections of the population constitutes the yardstick of justice. 3. Independent Path In the contemporary epoch, the progress that any people or nation could achieve is limited in isolation from its surroundings and the world at large. For this very reason, fostering foreign relations is significant so as to register economic, trade, cultural and technological development. However, such relations should be cautiously handled. It is indisputable that the prevailing relations between the developed and developing countries is essentially unbalanced and based on exploitation. Besides, such pattern of relations strives to nurture political and economic dependency, and thereby ultimately ensure all-round monopoly. This unjust ties not only paralyzed a number of nations but also exposed them to the brink of total demise. Under this global scenario, it demands the requisite political will and strong courage to pursue political and economic path free from dependency. In the final analysis, becoming master of your own programs and decisions is the sole path for the effective realization of national objectives. Any government committed to develop the people and the nation should, therefore, keep intact its independent political and economic path through coping with possible hostilities. In this regard, resorting to the principle of self-reliance is imperative. Viewed within this framework, the nations that resolutely pursued an independent path are the ones that emerged victorious, while those which compromised their independent choice are being exposed to all-round failure. It should be emphasized that the stability of societies rests on national harmony, socio-economic justice and independent path. Looking from the standpoint of the aforementioned three fundamental factors, it is not that difficult to comprehend the domestic and external causes for the current popular uprising and turmoil in different parts of the world. The next article would deal with the causes for popular uprising in general, and that of the ongoing protests in North Africa and the Middle East in particular.

Our Interview Guest this Week: Rainer Strack
[LESS INFO] 20 VIEWS | ADDED 22:30:00 10/12/10
Senior Partner and Managing Director of The Boston Consultign Group DW-TV: One of your surveys found that staff motivation in companies could still be improved -- why is that? Rainer Strack: We conducted a survey in 2007 and we conducted a survey in 2009, so before the crisis and a little bit after the crisis. We saw a huge drop in engagement and motivation. If you dig then deeper you see that it is the middle managers who are suffering in the crisis and after the crisis. Traditionally the human resources department focuses on the top management, the high potentials, and the middle management are a little neglected, but a critical group. DW-TV: Staff matters are usually dealt with by a company's HR-department - "HR" stands for Human Resources... that doesn't sound very humane to me... is that where the problems start already? Rainer Strack: "I would regard resource as a positive term because in reality most companies regard employees as a cost item. And what do you do with cost? You reduce it. We think we are now coming into a new decade where people will become the scarce resource. And therefore you have to nurture them. You have to really regard them as a resource and not as a cost. DW-TV: In your survey you looked at German companies, but also global companies. Is there a difference when it comes to motivation? Rainer Strack: We see an engagement and motivation problem in all countries. In the survey we asked more than 5,000 companies in more than 100 nations and we see engagement dropping and motivation dropping all over the world. DW-TV: How do you think they should be motivated. We've just seen a very nice example in our report. Profit sharing: is that one way to go...the ultimate way to go? Rainer Strack: It should be certainly something on the compensation side but you should also think about recognition beyond compensation. So here in particular is also the leadership within organizations is weak so in terms of giving feedback and giving an atmosphere to an employee he or she can develop his or her capabilities more. And so I would say like with work for life balance that does not contradict performance. I am a physicist from my background and as a physicist and I find power is performance is work per time and not work times time. It is not about the number of hours that you spend it is more about performance on the one side and work life balance on the other. DW-TV: Does the quality of work suffer if someone is not motivated? Rainer Strack: The quality of work is absolutely suffering. Because if you look what you see in a very simple index...the top companies people would like to work for...there is an index and if you look at their total share of return, this is superior to the average. So it also matters afterwards in terms of earnings and there is a clear correlation as we just saw in the example with the enterprise Knauer. DW-TV: Rainer Strack, thanks a lot.

Fun Halloween Facts: (from Wikipedia )
Now Halloween has origins in the ancient festivals celebrating the end of summer and the beginning of the new year, the dark half, and .. the holiday has some celebration
of the dead aspects in it.
The ancient Celts believed that the border between this world and the Otherworld became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits (both harmless and harmful) to pass through. The family's ancestors were honoured and invited home whilst harmful spirits were warded off. It is believed that the need to ward off harmful spirits led to the wearing of costumes and masks. Their purpose was to disguise oneself as a harmful and thus avoid harm. In Scotland the spirits were impersonated by young men dressed in white with masked, veiled or blackened faces. Samhain was also a time to take stock of food supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. Bonfires played a large part in the festivities. All other fires were doused and each home lit their hearth from the bonfire. The bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into its flames. Sometimes two bonfires would be built side-by-side, and people and their livestock would walk between them as a cleansing ritual.
Another common practise was divination, which often involved the use of food and drink.
The term Halloween, originally spelled Hallowe’en, is shortened from All Hallows' Even – e'en is a shortening of even, which is a shortening of evening. This is ultimately derived from the Old English Eallra Hālgena ǣfen.[16] It is now known as "Eve of" All Saints' Day, which is November 1st.

The History And Future Of Biocontrol In Hawaii Under Changing Conditions
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 19:01:31 08/07/09
Page Else presenting. This presentation reviews literature on the history of biocontrol in Hawaii, changes in regulatory oversight, methods for biocontrol agent testing, and the potential impact of climate change on biocontrol introductions. Few people are aware that as many as 708 biocontrol agents have been released in Hawaii up to the year 1999 but only 286 became established. Of these, 14% also attacked non-target species. The negative impacts of biocontrol introductions have mainly been due to the lack of host specificity studies and pre-release risk analyses, and weak import regulations. The Board of Agriculture for Hawaii began reviewing applications in 1944. After increased review regulations in 1975, the host specificity of the 51 released biocontrol agents has been 100%. This presentation includes the proposed biocontrol release for strawberry guava as an example, with a discussion of outreach methods needed for varying social attitudes. Society must understand the choices, the risks, and how risks can be minimized. Challenges that will be faced in the future with changing climatic conditions include the difficulty of predicting host-specificity under changing climates and vegetation responses. It is likely that invasive species will be favored under climatic disturbance, making biocontrol tools even more important for managers. However, Hawaii currently has only three quarantine facilities and limited funding for natural resource management. Finding appropriate host-specific agents can be very difficult and time-consuming, so managers cannot rely on biocontrol as the ultimate solution for invasive issues.

Twitter Vs Facebook Round 2
[LESS INFO] 8 VIEWS | ADDED 04:32:09 04/09/09
Hello, and welcome to Thursday. This is Mevio Tech. Brooks and Carlos bring you the top tech stories of the day.
Starting off...the Facebook/Twitter battle of the ages rolls into round two, as a new desktop client has thrown its hat into the Twitter ring. Seesmic Desktop is a new desktop Twitter client from Seesmic (the same company who also released the popular Twhirl Twitter client). It seems to be positioning itself as a rival for Tweetdeck . It has a very simple design, but it's best feature is the ability to use multiple Twitter accounts, which a lot of people have been waiting for in a desktop Twitter app.
Speaking of Tweetdeck , they have also released an update to their desktop app. It adds many new functions and fixes, especially in the area of resource management. It is now not so much of a memory hog. It has better support for short urls, and the feature that warms Brooks heart: better integration with Facebook without having to jump through complicated hoops.
Moving on to Facebook , CEO Mark Zukerberg announced on his blog that Facebook has now reached the 200 million user milestone. Along with the post, he release a video and a heat map showing the growth of Facebook as more users joined, where in the world they were joining from, and how they are using it.
This round seems to have ended in a draw again. We will see who will ultimately reign supreme.
Moving on... GM and Segway recently announced a joint collaboration to create a two-person urban mobility vehicle, named P.U.M.A. , or Personal
Urban Mobility & Accessibility. The vehicle seats two people, is battery powered and will run 35 miles on a single charge, and has a top speed of 35MPH. In the end it is basically a two-person Segway, but with a steering wheel. It might be nice, but I would love to see it try to deal with some of the hills here in San Francisco.
Brooks and Carlos wrap things up with a story about quantum computers, which for the moment are still out of our reach technologically. A group of designers and developers have come together to discuss where they would need to go, and have come to the conclusion that we would have to fundamentally change the way that software is written when the time comes.
That is all for the top tech stories today. Hey while your hear, you should go over and check out our other great networks: Men, Women, and Music. And remember you can always find more great stories about the latest in tech, video games, and much more right here at Mevio Tech . Also if you like what you see, then follow us on Twitter by going to www.twitter.com/meviotech . Let us know what you think, what you like, or anything you might like to see on the network.

The Bogeyman In The Room
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 07:47:01 08/08/07
I feel pain a whole class of people are made a target for crude attempts of humor so that one person can gain a micro-meter of notoriety. Is fame really worth this cost? Ultimately it doesn't really matter the reason he did this - the video exists. He can't take it back.
But I also know (or figured out once I calmed down) is that Loren is the new carrier but the Bogeyman is running the show. The Bogeyman is prejudice, racism and sexism. It is also our inability to talk about those issues. This is my attempt to share possible ways to purge the poison.
For a list of resources to fight this particular bogeyman visit http://outonthestoop.blogspot.com
