U.S. Marines Slaughtered 15,000
Yankee Occupation of Haiti, 1915-1934
The following article is reprinted from Workers Vanguard No. 608, 14 October 1994.
"I spent 33 years and 4 months in active service as a member of our country's most agile military force – the Marine Corps…. And during that period I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism….
"Thus I helped make Mexico … safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba, a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street."
–Major General Smedley Butler, "America's Armed Forces," Common Sense, October 1935
Bill Clinton's colonial occupation of Haiti was, at first, hailed by desperate Haitians hoping for protection against the terror of the [Raoul] Cédras regime and its paramilitary attachés. But the U.S. military has gone into Haiti precisely to prevent the uprooting of the military machine which Washington created and maintained through decades of Yankee imperialist domination. When the Marines landed in Port-au-Price in 1915, it was the beginning of an American occupation which lasted 19 years, killed thousands, and left the bloody U.S.-trained National Guard in control.
The pretext for the July 1915 invasion came when despised Haitian president Vibrun Guillaume Sam was torn limb from limb by an enraged multitude. Beset by insurrectionary forces, Sam's supporters had mowed down 173 political prisoners in the capital. U.S. warships rushed to the scene to put down the uprising. President Woodrow Wilson cited the possibility that Germany might build a base at Haiti's M?le St. Nicolas, facing the eastern tip of Cuba. Washington's concern to secure access routes to the Panama Canal, which opened a year earlier, "certainly weighed in the balance of the motivation for the occupation," writes Suzy Castor in her 1971 study, La ocupación norteamericana de Haiti y sus consecuencias (1915-1934). But "fundamental" to Washington's aims, she wrote, was the economic "motivation": to make Haiti safe for exploitation by American capital. This was "dollar diplomacy" by gunboat.
A telegram to the U.S. Navy Department by Admiral William Caperton shortly after the invasion requested additional forces to disband the guerrilla soldiers known as cacos, adding: "Such action now imperative at Port au Prince if United States desires to negotiate treaty for financial control of Haiti." Already in December 1914, a contingent of Marines had landed in the Haitian capital at the request of the National City Bank of New York and seized $500,000 from the National Bank of Haiti. The purpose was to force the Haitian government to sign over control of the customhouses.
The Yankee occupiers seized control of Haiti's government and economy. Just as American soldiers are today deployed around the Haitian parliament to show who's boss, in 1915 Marines guarded the doors of the building where assembled deputies and senators voted in Washington's hand-picked "president," Dartiguenave, who had agreed to U.S. control of Haiti's finances. To ensure ratification of a treaty effectively making Haiti a U.S. protectorate, Caperton seized unsigned bank notes intended for the Haitian government and proclaimed that they would be turned over when the Senate approved the treaty.
The occupation was brutal and racist to the core. A report in the Nation (10 July 1920) testified:
"The five years of American occupation … have served as a commentary upon the white civilization which still burns black men and women at the stake. For Haitian men, owmen and children, to a number estimated at 3,000, innocent for the most part of any offense, have been shot down by American machine gun and rifle bullets; black men and women have been put to torture to make them give information; theft, arson, and murder have been committed almost with impunity upon the persons and property of Haitians by white men wearing the uniform of the United States….
"I have heard officers wearing the United States uniform in the interior of Haiti talk of 'bumping off' (i.e., killing) 'Gooks' as if it were a verity of sport like duck hunting."
The occupation force was dominated by white Southerners led by Marine colonel Littleton W.T. Waller, a Virginian who replaced Caperton as the U.S. commanding officer. Waller made known his objection to "bowing and scraping to these c—ns." U.S. authorities instituted a color bar against "race-mixing" after the arrival of white women from the U.S. The American military forced rural Haitians to carry a "bon habitant" (good citizen) card which Marines could demand to inspect at any time. Failure to produce the card meant immediate arrest or even execution.
The imperialists attacked the very roots of Haiti's independence, gained through the revolutionary struggle led by Toussaint Louverture that smashed chattel slavery more than a century before. In 1918 Haitian peasants rose up in the cacos rebellion against subjection to the forced-labor corvée system. Black American writer James Weldon Johnson wrote after visiting Haiti in 1920:
"The Occupation seized men wherever it could find them, and no able-bodied Haitian was safe from such raids, which most closely resembled the African slave raids of past centuries. And slavery it was, though temporary. By day or by night … Haitians were seized and forcibly taken to toil for months in far sections of the country. Those who protested or resisted were beaten into submission…. Those attempting to escape were shot…."
–quoted in Scott Nearing and Joseph Freeman, Dollar Diplomacy (1925)
Led by Charlemagne Péralte, the cacos overran th gendarmerie (police). Marines responded with the bloodbath. Péralte was shot and his corpse hung from a door. Photos of his execution, which resembled the crucifixion of Christ, were disseminated throughout the countryside, but this only inspired more resistance from the religious peasants. Horrifying examples of vengeance by Marine and gendarme squads – including the beheading of a young blind man, the killing of entire families and pregnant women – were documented by Haitians in a petition to the Secretary of the U.S. Navy (reprinted in the Nation, 21 May 1921).
The rebellion lasted about five years. A U.S. military inquiry put the number of cacos killed at 3,250, while Marines and gendarmes suffered only 100 killed or wounded. This was the first reported case of coordinated air-ground combat, as planes bombed rebels trapped by Marines. In one incident, U.S. troops killed over 50 (and possibly as many as 200) cacos who had been hurling rocks. The sole U.S. "casualty" was a Marine who lost two front teeth. For his "bravery" in this "battle," Major Smedley Butler was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, thanks to an order by Assistant Naval Secretary Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Benefiting from the U.S. occupation were companies like Standard Fruit and the Haitian American Sugar Company, which took advantage of new land ownership laws to massively dispossess the peasants. U.S. companies were encouraged to set up shop where, as a New York business daily reported, "The run-of-the-mill Haitian is handy, easily directed, and gives a hard day's labor for 20 cents, while in Panama the same day's work cost $3" (quoted in James Ridgeway, ed., The Haiti Files [1994]). The same theme was struck in the 1980s when the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) touted Haiti's "highly productive, low cost labor." When President Aristide in 1991 timidly tried to raise the minimum wage from 22 cents to 37 cents per hour, AID howled against this "high distortion in labor costs."
In 1929, an outbreak of social struggle led the U.S. to question the usefulness of continuing the occupation. After a five-week student strike, American authorities called for more Marine reinforcements. In response, customhouse workers in Port-au-Prince went on strike, and Haitians swarmed into the streets to throw rocks at the U.S. troops. In the southern town of Les Cayes, Marines killed 12 protesters. But the writing was on the wall. A U.S. investigation of the 1929 protests, the Forbes Commission, recommended a policy of "Haitianization" and gradual withdrawal of the Marines. Under the sign of FDR's "good neighbor" policy in Latin America, the last U.S. troops were with-drawn in 1934. Yet U.S. control of Haiti's finances continued until after World War II.
An estimated 15,000 Haitians had perished under the bloody occupation. To run Haiti after its exit, the U.S. left the new gendarmerie, the National Guard, which it developed and trained after disbanding the Haitian military. Since 1934, one-third of Haiti's budget has been spent on the military. The U.S. has propped up every Haitian despot since that time, including the infamous "Papa Doc" Duvalier, who organized the Tontons Macoutes thugs and killed 50,000 opponents. His demented son "Baby Doc" was forced to flee to France amid a mass upheaval in 1986, and the U.S. sponsored the current junta of torturers and murderers under Raoul Cédras. To put an end to the cycle of puppet dictators it's necessary to defeat the imperialist masters. That must be the common effort of Haitian and American workers against the capitalist rulers, from Port-au-Prince to Washington and Wall Street, who have turned the first black republic into a neo-colonial hell. U.S. out of Haiti! ■

Judge John Macdonald started his basketball career in New Plymouth where he was a dynamic Point Guard and a driving force in Taranaki basketball.
Judge Macdonald was selected to the New Zealand men's team in 1970 and remained an important member of the team through to 1981. During this time he captained the team three times, firstly in 1972 and again in 1975, where he was the leading scorer at the first and only New Zealand Games, which were held in Christchurch. He captained the side and was again the leading scorer in the three match series against Australia in 1978, which was when New Zealand cemented an historic first win over Australia, beating them 67-65. In the same year the New Zealand men's team won the silver medal at the Commonwealth Tournament Championship in Britain.In recognition of his abilities as a Point Guard, the NZ NBL has named the John Macdonald Trophy for Most Outstanding Guard after him. This is still awarded.
Judge Macdonald was also known for his career in law, especially when he was appointed a District Court Judge in 1990, going into semi-retirement in 2009, but still retains an active warrant today. Judge Macdonald was elected as Patron of Basketball New Zealand in 2012, a position he still holds today.

A number of women implanted with the birth control IUD Paragard have suffered a broad range of medical issues caused by the intended use of the product, including fractures, ectopic pregnancy and other complications.
Plaintiffs are claiming that the grievous injuries they endured resulted from certain copper based IUDs like Paragard being defective and prone to breakage, resulting in these dangerous side effects.
If you or a loved one suffered an injury after receiving a Paragard IUD device for preventing pregnancy, you may be eligible for compensation.
Currently, attorneys are trying to hold Teva Pharmaceuticals liable for injuries sustained through the use of the .
Below are the latest updates on the Paragard litigation. We constantly update this page whenever new information is available. Make sure to check this page from time to time to keep up with the latest updates on the lawsuits.
November 2021 update: The judge denied defendants' motion to dismiss all cases against them. Defendants Teva Pharmaceuticals and CooperSurgical argued that complaints in the were "shotgun pleadings."
In other words, the two big defendants argue that the claims didn't have enough factual details to state a valid tort claim. However, Judge May rejected this argument.
According to her, the plaintiffs have adequately stated their claims and at this point, it cannot be determined whether the design defect and failure to warn claims are preempted by federal law. It was obvious from the start that the Georgia federal judge seemed to be unmoved by the defense arguments and had no plans of granting the dismissals.
Instead, she seems much more interested in selecting and scheduling cases for the first bellwether trials.
Lawyers accuse the pharmaceutical company of releasing a to market, focusing squarely on Teva's negligence in warning the public about Paragard's potential dangers.
In December 2020, the JPML centralized all Paragard cases to be tried together in the of Georgia in front of Judge Leigh Martin May. This may facilitate settlement discussions, but the process is just beginning.
This process may mirror the Mirena litigation, where, due to the large number of women injured by the device, a plethora of lawsuits had already reached a number of district federal courts.
The Judicial Panel on (JPML) consolidated them into the MDL No. 2434 in the Southern District of New York back in 2017. At least 2,700 women have sued Bayer over these adverse events. Some of these cases settled in 2018 for $12.2 million, but the settlement only included claims related to IUD migration and perforation. Bayer's 2018 settlement did not settle any cases related to pseudotumor cerebri.
Paragard is a long-term birth control method known as an intrauterine device (IUD). The basic design includes a copper wire coiled around a T-shaped plastic base, which is inserted into a woman's uterus by a doctor. Paragard is a medical device that prevents pregnancy with alleged effectiveness of 99%. The mechanism for the IUD to work is a slow release of copper over 10 years.
Once the device is implanted in the uterine cavity, it interferes with the fertilization of the egg by blocking sperm movement after intercourse. In addition to simply blocking sperm from reaching the uterus, Copper is somewhat toxic, and according to the manufacturer's published instructions and warnings, Paragard's copper is designed to cause an inflammatory reaction in the uterus, preventing the egg from attaching. This is not a side effect or complication, but the very method through which Paragard is designed to prevent pregnancy by stopping egg fertilization.
There are two different models of Paragard: the Copper 380 Slimline and the Copper 380A. The device is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals, and it was first released it into the American market in 1988.
According to recently filed complaints, the Paragard intrauterine contraceptive device is prone to breaking inside the body of the woman who had it implanted. This may lead to serious Paragard IUD complications, including the device becoming embedded inside the uterus, perforating it, and causing serious injuries to the patient due to fragment migration.
Many Paragard users reported that the device can also break during the removal procedure, and when that happens, the broken pieces must be painfully removed one by one with a complicated medical procedure necessary to avoid organ damage.
In some instances, the fragments of a broken Paragard IUD device can become embedded so deeply inside the woman's tissue that a total hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) is required, with devastating psychological and physical consequences.
If a Paragard IUD breaks, the risks of additional side effects rise dramatically. Some related side effects are infection, scarring, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, and ectopic pregnancy. This type of pregnancy occurs outside the uterus, most often in a fallopian tube. Since the fetus can't develop normally, it may cause potentially fatal internal bleeding in the mother and must be removed as urgently as possible.
Paragard isn't the only dangerous IUD device that hit the American market. Mirena, a similar device manufactured by Bayer, has been associated with a staggering number of complications and adverse reports (nearly 50,000) since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved it back in 2000.
Although Mirena's contraceptive power is based on a different principle (using small quantities of the hormone levonorgestrel in the bloodstream rather than copper), this alternative device is no less dangerous. In fact, this T-shaped device may also detach from its implanted position, causing gruesome organ injuries such as the perforation of the fallopian tubes or the uterus. Mirena is also associated with another serious condition called pseudotumor cerebri (PTC), a buildup of pressure in the brain. It is also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).
The main difference between Paragard and Mirena is that Paragard uses copper to prevent pregnancy while Mirena uses synthetic hormones. Both are made primarily of plastic, but Paragard incorporates copper wire coiled around the frame. Paragard lasts 10 years – twice the 5 years of Mirena's duration.
According to court filings, Teva was fully aware of the risks associated with the use or removal of Paragard, and willfully downplayed or ignored them. While the manufacturer described Paragard as a safe method of birth control, important data about its numerous complications has never been fully disclosed. Attorneys allege that the manufacturer obtained sufficient information about the alleged dangers of the IUD device from both post-marketing experience, medical product safety network data, and clinical trials. However, Teva remained focused on the bottom line, never warning women about potentially serious risks of using Paragard for contraception. The defective product has never been subject to either a manufacturer or FDA recall.
Medical device manufacturers like Teva must be held liable for the injuries they caused you or your loved one. Litigation is often the only way to seek justice. Importantly, if you or someone you love has been impacted by using Paragard or any other IUD, a lawyer may help you receive adequate financial compensation for your pain and suffering. But the clock is ticking. Call today if you believe you or someone you love has been injured by using the Paragard IUD.
As of today, it's difficult to estimate just how much Teva Pharmaceuticals may pay if the mass tort is eventually settled. Settlement discussions are unique for each mass tort case, so predicting settlements is usually a fool's errand. Usually, the manufacturers of allegedly defective devices offer an individual agreement to each injured victim only if the first few bellwether cases do not end in their favor. Judge May is likely to set a schedule for these bellwether trials and the case generally in the first quarter of 2021.
However, due to the striking similarities with the Mirena litigation, we may expect the trials to end in a similar way. During the ongoing Mirena litigation, Bayer paid $12.2 million to settle devices migration cases in August 2017.
Awards in this kind of case are unpredictable and will be based on the specific facts of your specific case. In other words, even if your case is successful, and a court awards you damages, the individual payout you will receive will vary significantly. While global settlements are a possibility, it remains much more likely that each IUD lawsuit will be analyzed separately, and the value of your claim will depend on the details of your particular situation.
Your lawyer will be able to help you recover more if you suffered more economic, personal, physical or emotional damage. Factors such as pain and suffering, loss of consortium, loss of wages and medical expenses need to be considered before your financial reward is calculated under the terms of a settlement agreement or a verdict at trial.

How to Make a Pep Rally Flyer in Microsoft Publisher - Part 1
Sometimes the best part of a sporting event is not the game itself but the parties and pep rallies associated with it. If you're looking for a way to get the word out about the pep rally planned for your team's next big game, flyers may be the best way to go. Not only are they inexpensive to make and easy to distribute, but they can be whipped up in minutes with the help of a desktop publishing program like Microsoft Publisher.
Creating the Initial Flyer
When first creating a new flyer in Microsoft Publisher, we have the option of starting with a completely blank page or with a template that already contains several design elements. I have to admit that I sometimes "cheat" a little here. Even if I have a solid image in my mind of what I want the finished result to look like, I'll often get a bad case of the "blank page stares" when starting a publication from scratch. To remedy this, I'll generally try to pick a predefined template that looks somewhat like what I want and then make modifications to it as I go along.
For this project, we'll start out with the BBQ template that can be found in the Event section of Microsoft Publisher's Flyer templates. See Figure 1 in the image gallery at the end of this article for a screenshot of this. I like this template because the shape that has been pre-drawn in the background resembles a megaphone.
Before we leave this screen, we'll go ahead and choose our color scheme. We can change this at any point later in the design, but it's nice to set it up in the beginning if you already know what colors you want to use. Our school colors are red and gold so we would like to incorporate that into the design. Since there are no predefined color schemes that match what we want, we'll create a new one.
To do this, choose Create New from the Color Scheme dropdown box as shown in Figure 2. This will cause the Create New Color Scheme dialog box to appear on your screen. Here you can make modifications and see how they will appear on the preview window. See Figure 3 for an example. We'll go ahead and choose a sampling of red, gold, and black. Just in case we want to use this color scheme for another project at a later date, we'll name it and save it as Pep Rally Flyer.
After doing this, we'll click on the Create button to load the template with our color scheme (Figure 4). Now is the time to start modifying the template to reflect our own event. We will continue with that in the next section.
This article is Part 1 of a two-part series. To continue reading and learn more about modifying the flyer template that was just created, please see Part 2.

Orwell's Thought Police and the enforcers of China's Cultural Revolution had nothing on today's Social Justice Warriors. Their latest target for self-recrimination and reeducation is C.J. Nitkowski, a former Major League pitcher and now broadcaster for the Texas Rangers. Nitkowski's crime: retweeting a tweet from the Proud Boys, which describes itself as "a pro-Western fraternal organization for men who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world; aka Western Chauvinists."
Proud Boys declares "anti-racism" as one of its values, and it's clear that Nitkowski doesn't know the Proud Boys from Shinola, but that didn't stop the guardians of acceptable opinion for coming after him. Nitkowski, according to SportsDay, "on Monday deleted his tweets and protected his account after being accused of a racist attitude for a liking, of all things, a tweeted photo of the gold-medal winning U.S. Olympic women's hockey team."
That's right: not a photo of Klansmen in robes and hoods or goosestepping Nazis with the caption "I'm with them!" Not even a photo of the man that the Left would have us believe every decent person despises, Mr. Donald J. Trump. No. A photo of the gold-medal winning U.S. Olympic women's hockey team. But SportsDay goes on to inform us that "it wasn't the photo that caused the controversy, but the account that sent the tweet. The account, @ProudBoysUSA, has been labeled an extremist group by the Southern Poverty Law Center."
Even worse, "the photo in question shows the team celebrating its win with an unidentified team member, circled in red, making a circular sign with two fingers and three others extended. In sports, the sign is often considered an inside 'got ya,' joke. But it is also similar to one associated with the white power movement." What is this symbol associated with the white power movement? The OK sign, which everyone from Barack Obama to Nancy Pelosi has been photographed making, but which now, in the mythology of the Left, means white power, especially when it comes from groups such as the Proud Boys.
On its page on the Proud Boys, the SPLC claims that "their disavowals of bigotry are belied by their actions." And so Nitkowski had to be brought to heel. Never mind that the SPLC is notorious for defaming legitimate individuals and groups by lumping them in with the likes of neo-Nazis and the KKK. Never mind that the SPLC refuses to list Antifa, a genuine and violent hate group, on its "hate group" list, which is notably short of Leftist hate organizations. Never mind that clearly the SPLC itself is a far-Left hate group, dedicated to destroying legitimate conservative organizations. As far as the establishment media is concerned, it's a reliable source, and so Nitkowski had to answer to the Thought Police.
Blindsided, Nitkowski obliged. Asked to deny that he was a white supremacist, he replied: "Of course, that's a given. But that never even crosses my mind. That's not how I was raised. I've just never had to prove that I'm not [racist]. I had no idea about this." He also issued an abject apology: "My intention was simply to like a tweet of a team photo of the gold medal-winning U.S. women's hockey team. I did not know the group that posted the photo takes positions on some issues that are offensive to me and others. I don't endorse the group and have unfollowed the account. I apologize for not being more careful on social media and in turn, if I offended some of my followers, especially Rangers fans."
Thus far this groveling has placated the slavering mob, and Nitkowski will keep his job, but you can be sure that if he goes off the reservation again, his career will be over.
Mass hysteria has gripped the public sphere many times in history; the best analogy for what the Left is doing today is the Salem Witch Trials. The Proud Boys are witches, as are all those who dissent from the Leftist agenda, and must be shunned by all decent people. C.J. Nitkowski is now vehemently suspected of witchcraft, and will be on a short leash from now until the day he dies.
This is all happening in a land that professes to protect and defend the freedom of speech. In Germany in 1933, Adolf Hitler was able to dismantle the Weimar Republic and install a dictatorship within six months of taking power. I always thought that was so easy for him because Germany had no strong traditions of democracy or free speech. But in America today, we see how easy it is for totalitarian speech restrictions to descend upon a people. The American Left has empowered those who are determined to implement Saul Alinsky's 13th Rule for Radicals: "'Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.' Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions."
The Left consistently does this; Nitkowski is just the latest to suffer this tactic. The objective is to ensure that no one, ever, in any walk of life and under any circumstances, dares to step out of line. And establishment conservatives, unaware of what is happening or not daring to be targeted themselves, have always willingly played along, allowing their associations and allies to be dictated by their enemies.
Yet these cowardly conservatives will not be spared. What is happening today to C.J. Nitkowski will one day happen to them. This advancing beast will devour everything and everyone in its path until it is stopped. But who has the courage and the will to stop it?

Written by Joe Palca for NPR.org
Scientists in California think they've figure out why flies like beer. That may sound a bit trivial, but in fact it could lead to new ways of combating plant and animal pests.
That flies like beer is well known. "The attraction of flies to beer was first reported in the early 1920s," says Anupama Dahanukar. She's part of an inter-disciplinary program involving neuroscience and entomology at the University of California, Riverside. She's been studying how flies recognize chemicals, so answering the question of why flies like beer is actually quite relevant to her research.
It's not a simple question. Scientists are only just beginning to understand the basics of smell and taste in humans, so research on flies has been extremely helpful with that.
Since flies are well known to like sugar, it could just be that flies like beer because they can detect some residual sugar in beer. But Dahanukar suspected that might not be the case. So she planned an experiment. She would give the flies a choice between beer and sugar water, and see which they preferred.
"We selected a pale ale, and the main reason was because pale ales have very lower sugar contents," says Dahanukar. "So we were trying to identify other chemicals — chemicals other than sugars that taste good to flies."
Zev Wisotsky, a graduate student in Dahanukar's lab, actually performed the experiment. "I remember it was a Saturday," he says. "I grabbed the beer at the grocery store, came into the lab, and performed the two-choice assay."
The two-choice assay forces the flies to choose between a sip of beer and a sip of sugar water. The flies went for the beer.
Now that that was established, Wisotsky and Dahanukar went about trying to figure out which compound in the beer was attracting the flies.
"The answer, as it turns out, was quite simple," says Dahanukar. "It's a molecule called glycerol, which is made by yeast during fermentation." Glycerol is the stuff that's used in antifreeze. It actually tastes sweet, but it's not a sugar.
Dahanukar and Wisotsky even found the particular gene responsible for flies' ability to detect glycerol. When they created flies missing that gene, and gave them the sugar water-beer choice, the flies went for the sugar water.
This research appears in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
Dahanukar is interested in understanding more about the genes responsible for taste and smell in flies. But others are already beginning to turn this information into powerful insect repellents. A team of scientists at Vanderbilt University has found a compound that is more powerful than anything on the market today that takes advantage of this molecular understanding of how insects perceive the chemical world.

Nigeria scored 48.1 in overall governance, ranking 35th out of 54 in Africa, The Mo Ibrahim Foundation says.
It said this in its 2017 Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG) launched by the foundation on Monday in Dakar, Senegal.
It said though Nigeria ranked 35th, its score was lower than the African average of 50.8 and lower than the regional average for West Africa which was put at 53.8.
It, however, said Nigeria achieved its highest category score in participation and human rights at 52.5 and its lowest category score in sustainable economic opportunity put at 42.3.
The index also said Nigeria achieved its highest sub-category score of 63.1 in rule of law and its lowest sub-category score of 32.7 in accountability.
"Over the last five years, Nigeria showed signs of 'Increasing Improvement' in overall governance.
"Nigeria's overall governance progress over the decade is driven by three of the four categories: participation and human rights, sustainable economic opportunity and human development.''
The index revealed that the continent's overall governance trajectory remains positive on average, but had in recent years moved at a slower pace.
The eleventh edition of the IIAG looked at both country and indicator trends over the last five years (2012-2016), within the context of the last decade (2007-2016).
The foundation called for vigilance on the continent's future, adding that concerns emerge in some key sectors as many countries struggle to build on recent progress or to reverse negative trends.
"By evaluating more recent progress on governance alongside long-term performance, the 2017 IIAG provides the most nuanced assessment to date of the evolution and direction that countries, regions and specific dimensions of governance are taking.
"Over the last 10 years, 40 African countries have improved in overall governance.
"In the last five years, 18 of these – a third of the continent's countries and home to 58 per cent of African citizens – including Cote d'Ivoire, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria and Senegal, have even managed to accelerate their progress.
"In 2016, the continent achieved its highest Overall Governance score to date (50.8 out of 100.0).''
It, however, said over the same period, Africa's annual average rate of improvement in overall governance slowed.
It said of the 40 countries improving in overall governance during the last decade, more than half (22) either did so at a slower pace in the last five years or showed decline.
It, however, said eight of the 12 countries that registered decline in overall governance over the past decade are showing no signs of turning things around, with scores decreasing at an even faster rate over the second half of the decade.
This group includes Botswana, Ghana, Libya and Mozambique.
Mr Mo Ibrahim, Chair of the foundation, said as the index showed, overall governance in Africa was improving, adding that it was good news.
"However, the slowing and in some cases even reversing trends in a large number of countries, and in some key dimensions of governance, means that we must be vigilant.
"Without vigilance and sustained efforts, the progress of recent years could be in danger of vanishing."
The Mo Ibrahim Foundation was established in 2006 with a focus on the critical importance of leadership and governance in Africa, by providing tools to assess and support progress in leadership and governance.
The IIAG provides an annual assessment of the quality of governance in African countries and is the most comprehensive collection of data on African governance. (NAN)

College means hard work and dedication, whether you major in a healthcare-related field or not. And no matter your race, gender, or nationality, just about every student could use resources and scholarships to help move their academic journey forward. Although these things are available to everyone, we're focusing this guide on the resources and scholarships for Native American and Alaskan Native students. Below you'll find both financial and non-financial resources that students of these communities can start using today.
Scholarships for Native American and Alaskan Native Students
Scholarships are one of the best forms of financial aid for college. Why? It's free money. Unlike student loans, the money you receive from a scholarship doesn't need to be paid back. Large national scholarships offer students an opportunity to get big money, but large payouts often mean intense competition. That's why more and more students narrow their scholarship search to smaller or more niche opportunities. The ones below are definitely worth investigating if you're Native American or Alaskan Native.

5 Keys to Landing Your Scholarship
Scholarships may be great because it's free money, but they often require a good amount of effort to obtain. No matter how tempting it is to take a shortcut, don't. The application is the only chance you'll have to impress the scholarship award committee. To even further increase your chances of getting a scholarship, consider the following advice.
- Key #1: Follow the instructions
This seems like common sense, but skipping a requirement can ruin your chances of winning the scholarship before anyone even looks at your application. Maybe it's a missed deadline, going over the essay word limit, or submitting the wrong materials. Either way, all that hard work and effort may be for naught.
- Key #2: Look for local scholarships
Local scholarships might be smaller in amount, but they're probably going to receive far fewer applications. This can drastically increase your chances of getting an award.
- Key #3: Start as soon as possible
You never know exactly how long the application process will take. Maybe your essay needs a few more revisions or someone you asked for a recommendation is delayed in completing your letter.
- Key #4: Revise and double check
Most scholarships require an essay or other subjective element. This is your opportunity to stand out and make an impression. But it's also a chance to make a careless mistake. Avoid this by revising and double checking everything to make sure it's perfect.
- Key #5: Think about taking a risk
There's a very subtle difference between being bold and crossing a line. But depending on the scholarship and what you have in mind, it might be worth it. Standing out will be one of the biggest challenges in a scholarship application, but if you do, it may make the difference between an award and a rejection.

Serena, Sharapova Meet in Brisbane SF
BRISBANE: Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova are set to renew their long and not-so-friendly rivalry after advancing to a semifinal match at the Brisbane International, a key warm up tournament for the Australian Open.
The pair played back-to-back quarterfinals on center court Thursday, with third-seeded Sharapova needing two hours to beat 2012 Brisbane champion Kaia Kanepi of Estonia, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2. She dropped three service games in the first set and another to open the second before finding her range and staging her comeback against the No. 30-ranked Kanepi.
Top-ranked Williams, the defending champion, was next on court and didn't lose a point on serve in the first set en route to a 6-3, 6-3 win over ninth-seeded Diminika Cibulkova of Slovakia.
Williams has a 14-2 record and 13-match win streak against Sharapova, beating the Russian most recently in last year's French Open final.
Any friendship the pair had soured when they traded personal barbs relating to their romantic relationships ahead of last year's Wimbledon, where Sharapova made an early exit. She only played one match after that in 2013 and spent the latter months of the year recovering from a right shoulder problem.
Sharapova has only played two matches since August, both this week.
Williams had a spectacular year, meanwhile, winning 78 of her 82 matches and capturing 11 titles, including two majors to increase her career total to 17.
As far as any grudges go, Williams told a news conference Thursday: "It's very difficult I think for anyone to be best buddies when you're so competitive."
"But I don't have a problem with anyone," she said. "I don't take jabs or anything. I am who I am and I don't hide anything."
Sharapova didn't back away from her comments at Wimbledon in a New York Times profile last month, giving the impression that her relationship with Williams was still cold. On Thursday, she said she'd used the newspaper interview to "clear the air."
Asked how she'd describe their rivalry now, Sharapova replied: "Well, I think I got to win a few times in order to call it rivalry."
"I haven't had a lot of success against her in the past," she added. "It's the first tournament of the year. I came here wanting to play as many matches as I could and obviously wanting to play the best.
"There is no substitute for getting ready for a Grand Slam than competing against the best."
In men's matches in Brisbane, Romanian qualifier Marius Copil had a 7-5, 6-3 upset win over third-seeded Gilles Simon and No. 8-seeded Jeremy Chardy beat fellow Frenchman Nicolas Mahut 7-5, 6-7 (4), 6-3.
In other Australasian tournaments, Milos Raonic and Eugenie Bouchard combined to give Canada a 3-0 win over Italy at the Hopman Cup in Perth, and former French Open champion Ana Ivanovic progressed to the semifinals at the WTA Tour's ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand.
Canada maintained a chance of qualifying for Saturday's final from Group A when Raonic beat Andreas Seppi 6-2, 6-4 and Bouchard won the second singles match when Flavia Pennetta retired with a right wrist injury while trailing 4-0 in the first set.
Bouchard, voted the WTA newcomer of the year in 2013, has won two of her three singles matches in the group stage.
At Auckland, Ivanovic defeated Japan's Kurumi Nara 6-2, 6-3 to set up a semifinal match against Belgium's Kirsten Flipkens, a 6-4, 7-5 winner over Japan's Sachie Ishizu.
American Jamie Hampton also advanced with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 win over compatriot Lauren Davis.
Seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams plays her quarterfinal match against Spaniard Garbine Muguruza later Thursday.

It can sometimes feel strange watching companies identify a need to define their 'purpose' as if they'd previously operated without one.

Plan for the fact that managing your CEO's reputation is part of managing your corporate reputation.

Debian Security Advisory
kernel -- bug in capabilities handling allows root exploits
- Date Reported:
- 12 Jun 2000
- Affected Packages:
- kernel-image, kernel-source
- Vulnerable:
- No
- Security database references:
- No other external database security references currently available.
- More information:
There is a widely-reported problem with the handling of POSIX capabilities
in the Linux kernel that can lead to root compromise in setuid applications.
This bug does not affect kernels in the 2.0 or earlier series; the
2.0 kernels installed by default in Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 (slink) are
not vulnerable. If you are running a kernel with a version of
2.1.*, 2.2.*, or 2.3.*, you should upgrade immediately.
The Debian kernel source package currently in potato, kernel-source-2.2.15-3, and binaries built from it, such as kernel-image-2.2.15-2 (or more recent versions), are patched to prevent this vulnerability. If you prefer to download kernel source from a mirror of ftp.kernel.org instead of using the debian package, you should download 2.2.16 or better.
