Assumptions of analyses using dichoto...
Mplus Discussion
Categorical Data Modeling
James J. Prisciandaro
posted on Friday, March 04, 2005 - 1:20 pm
I would like to conduct an exploratory factor analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis (comparing alternative measurement models) using 28 dichotomous indicators of depression in a very large sample. I hear Mplus is the way to go.
I am concerned because most of the methods for accomodating dichotomous data in these analyses I have found (not just in Mplus) involve computing tetrachoric correlations. I am also under the impression that tetrachoric correlations contain the "strict" assumptions that the underlying variables that are being measured by the dichotomous indicators are continuous and multivariate normal. While I am comfortable with the former condition (underlying variables are continuous), I am certain that at least some of my indicators (which include suicidal ideation and behavior) are not representing underlying normally distributed variables (I believe this would violate the assumptions of full-information-factor-analysis in IRT as well).
I know that WLS estimation in Mplus involves more than "just" factor analyzing a matrix of tetrachorics, but I am not certain if this estimation procedure "eliminates" the assumption of multivariate normal underlying variables. I also understand that there are other estimation methods available in Mplus for dichotomous indicators. I'm wondering which of these would be appropriate for my analyses (please indicate what additional information would be needed to reach that decision). Any guidance with undertaking these analyses (especially containing references) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Full-information factor analysis in IRT assumes normal factors and either a probit or a logit relationship between the factors and the items. Taken together, with a probit link this produces exactly the same model as assuming underlying normal variables for the items - with the logit link, the models are close. One just hears more about the underlying normality assumption with tetrachorics than in the IRT context, but it is there in both traditions. So the essential assumption is the normality of the factors. Mplus can do the FIML factor analysis in the IRT tradition - i.e. using logistic links. Mplus cannot yet do EFA with rotations in this way, only CFA. I think, however, that a simple EFA using unweighted least squares on tetrachoric correlations is a very practical way to get the information you need. There was a 1986 JEBS article by Mislevy comparing this to FIML-IRT and no real differences emerged. I get the impression that you are not prepared to make a normality assumption for the factors. Note then that Mplus can also allow non-normality for the factors using "non-parametric" estimation of the factor distributions - this is available through the Mplus mixture track. This is straightforward with one factor.

I hired Addison Design to plan and fabricate the window treatments on the second floor of my home.
Michelle was enthusiastic, professional, and wonderfully gifted in her ability to put patterns and colors together to match the decor of the rest of my home. She visited once and the second time she showed up she had more than enough delightful fabrics to choose from to please both myself and my husband. Her choices far surpassed the professional service that had originally designed my roman shades and curtains. Her ability to propose a variety of solutions at various price points gave us room to play with new solutions that we had not considered before. She is creative and fun to work with to boot. We highly recommend her for anyone looking to re-create their living space. She loves what she does and her abilities transformed a project that was initially overwhelming into a delight!
You have done a beautiful job on our house and I'm proud to have anyone come see it and make sure they know where the inspiration came from. I really do finally feel like this is more of a home than a house, finally, and that is a huge relief for me since my home is my sanctuary from the world.
You seem to understand my desire for the unique and have found me items I would have never dreamed of finding that satisfy my need for the unusual, the funny, the beautiful, the elegant, and the ethnic. Not an easy combination. So far, you're the only designer that's actually stuck with it and pulled it off. You've given me the ability to roam and introduced me to items I'd never considered yet ground the quirkiness, with classic design elegance.
We were totally blown away with what you did with this place.
I was amazed at how well Michelle was able to set up our great room. She had a vision for our difficult space and was able to implement her ideas quickly and economically. Michelle Ku's ideas are original, and she nailed it for my home's furniture placement. She suggested a few key pieces that pull it all together nicely. My whole family is enjoying the space so much more now - thank you so much for making our new space feel more like our personal home!
Michelle has a natural talent for design that makes her stand out. Her use of color and texture immediately demand attention but it is her consideration of small details that bring a room to life. She draws you in to a space and it's so comfortable, so right, you never want to leave.
Michelle carefully listened to the our wants, our needs and our preferences. With that information in mind, she was able to draw on her experience and knowledge of design to transform our living space into a functional yet visually appealing reflection of our own taste and style. She transformed our vision into reality. We couldn't be happier!
Michelle and Addison Design were creative, innovative, attentive and a joy to work with. Next interior project I have she will be my first call! Highly recommend her.
Michelle created the most amazing kitchen design for us! I could not be happier with the results. We invested about $90K in our project and her fee was nominal but gave the entire project life and vitality. I had never used a designer before so was not sure what to expect but am so happy that we did. Our contractor and cabinet maker said, at the end of the project, that Michelle was really the one who gave it the unique feel and that it would not have looked so unique to us without her contribution. It was by far, the best investment that we made in our project.
My wife and I were tired of our outdated, cluttered and boring living room. We are fortunate to have hired Michelle Ku of Addison Design to guide us through every step of transforming the room into a beautiful, comfortable area where we enjoy entertaining and relaxing. Michelle made the daunting tasks of selecting new furniture, window treatments, fabrics and paint colors simple and fun. I especially appreciate her ability to coordinate the logistics of our project; tasks like ordering furniture and locating reputable contractors were made much easier. I would highly recommend Addison Design to anyone looking to revitalize their living space.
First and foremost, Michelle brings a lot of passion and focus to interior design. Michelle is one of the most resourceful designers I have met to date; she likes to dig in and find truly unique solutions to problems as well as discover the little known or out of the way suppliers who offer more than the run-of-the-mill. In school, I always liked having Michelle on my team or involved in a design jury. Her feedback is professional and courteous, and she is not afraid to ask the pertinent questions. Michelle also likes receiving feedback and questions about her work – she appreciates getting insights into possibilities she has not considered. Michelle likes to get things done and is quick to remove obstacles – she manages her work well. Creatively, I think Michelle produces some of the most beautiful and professional renderings I've seen. Michelle would be an excellent and productive addition to any design team and an interior design professional you can count on.
Michelle has a superior sense of design! I worked on a design team with her and was very impressed with her outstanding original design, material selections and superb color coordination. Her knowledge of materials, products and sources is very deep. While working with her she was efficient, time conscious, easy to work with and had many happy clients. I highly recommend Addison Design.
I selected paint colors for Michelle for a project that she was working on. She included the client in the whole process, making sure that the client was happy with everything. She was courteous and professional, and the designs that she came up with were fantastic! She helped the client achieve her goals of having a home that looked sophisticated while still being comfortable and safe for her three young children. It was beautiful!
Michelle has helped me numerous times over the years. She's helped me pick out paint colors and styles for my home. Then at my business she's worked with me on color layouts and spacing for optimal flow and function. If you need someone with a keen eye and knows what she's doing, Michelle is the right choice.
Michelle was accessible and fun to work with. She made the project much easier for me and helped speed up the process. Her instincts for color were excellent and I felt she knew the look I was going for. The transformation was dramatic. The room is now warm and inviting – a space I can enjoy.
Michelle is an absolute pleasure to work with. She took time to go through my idea books and figure me out, which most people can't seem to accomplish. She has the ability to think outside the box and stick to a budget that was not endless. As I live in IL and she is in CO we conferred via emails and phone. She was able to come up with a solution for a poorly laid out kitchen that I would have never dreamed of. Her sense of style and professionalism is a breath of fresh air!

Controlling storage capacity
Storage capacity is rapidly growing. Here's how to control it. Hint: Storage management software isn't the answer.
According to the Meta Group, Stamford, CT, storage capacity will grow at a compound annual rate of 92% through 2005. That's quite a lot of new spinning disk year after year. CIOs will have to find or buy excess capacity to accommodate this new requirement.
The good news is that disk drive prices continue to spiral downward to the tune of 40% to 50% per year. But the real cost isn't hardware--it's storage operations. Peripheral Research, Santa Barbara, CA, claims that $1 of storage hardware carries a cost of $7 for operations. With budgets flat and headcounts frozen, how can IT departments meet this operational challenge?
The obvious answer is through process automation. Throw some software from Computer Associates (CA), EMC, Tivoli, or Veritas at the problem, configure these tools to meet your storage policies and you're done, right? Wrong.
Today's storage management software is incredibly immature, proprietary and limited and likely to remain so for another two to three years. Rudimentary storage management standards are just starting to be ratified and will take time to roll out into products. In the meantime, storage management vendors can swap APIs or write system calls to other vendors' command line interfaces, but this is a painfully slow process that won't come close to solving real enterprise storage problems.
Focus on process
IT managers take heart. The lack of credible storage management software options is actually a blessing in disguise. The dearth of software tools provides an opportunity to address storage growth with business-driven processes and procedures that deliver ROI to the business and IT, while actually solving the problem.
The roadmap for processes and procedures should focus on these three points:
- Accommodating business goals
- Classifying data
- Setting the right SLAs
With these points in mind, IT managers will know where they are and where they must to go. Let's examine each in detail.
IT executives must meet with business managers, CEOs and CFOs to fully understand upcoming business projects and initiatives. What's coming up to drive new revenue streams? Are there any regulatory compliance issues to meet? How will the company touch its customers? Will there be any business process automation? The answer to these questions should help CIOs appreciate the scope of future requirements so they can start to plan for new storage capacity, infrastructure and operations. Once IT managers comprehend the business needs, they should negotiate their staffing and budgetary requirements accordingly.
With storage capacity nearly doubling each year, no company can continue to manage all data the same. To solve this quagmire, the Enterprise Storage Group recommends that enterprise companies classify all enterprise data. One suggestion is to group data into three buckets: critical business data, critical operational data and non-critical operational data. Examples of critical business data are customer databases, transaction systems or product inventory. Critical operational data may be e-mail or user files. Non-critical operational data may be reference data and archives. Once you've established a data classification scheme, you can choose a matching infrastructure, operational policy and staffing model.
Based upon these classifications, choose service levels that meet the business needs for each group. Between data classification and SLA categories, you should be able to better scale the IT department while still delivering proper services.
Getting there
Now that you know where you want to go, how can you get there? These five key steps are a must:
Establish IT governance. IT departments need standard operating procedures to deliver consistent, repeatable, measurable results. A good place to start is with IT governance models such as the IT infrastructure library (ITIL), IT services management (ITSM) and the control objectives for information and related technology (CobiT). These models provide best practices for an array of IT activities such as configuration management, availability management, service management and security. Operational models shouldn't be approached lightly, as implementing them can be projects unto themselves. Nevertheless, a good operational foundation is imperative to cope with ever-growing storage needs. At the very least, CIOs should look to well-established archetypes such as ITIL, ITSM and CobiT for ideas--especially to help with problem areas.
Set up policies and procedures based upon data classification and SLAs. Now is the time to set up specific operational models. Policies and procedures need to be detailed, specific and a match for each data classification. Set up specific policies and procedures for each and every operational process. For example, IT's response to error messages should be different, based upon whether they come from a storage system housing mission-critical data, critical operational data or non-critical operational data. Mission-critical systems need immediate attention and escalation while the others may best be served by standard escalation procedures by level one support.
Dedicate the right staff to the right projects. Make sure your most skilled personnel are responsible for supporting mission-critical data. Don't forget to give junior staff members the chance for mentoring and career growth. As storage grows and a new critical system comes online, this training experience will pay dividends when you have fully-trained personnel to slot into new roles.
Select the important data to monitor. This is where the lack of mature storage management tools forces you to pay careful attention. All of the storage equipment provides oodles of management data, but capturing and analyzing that data can be a full-time job involving manual processes, spreadsheets and automated scripts. Manage this process by sorting through the mountains of data and defining the two or three metrics you need across the entire storage infrastructure. For example, you may want to capture utilization, performance and error logs from every device to give you a high-level picture of end-to-end performance and behavior. You'll still have to dig into each device, but at least you'll have a pretty good cursory understanding of the entire storage system. Review this data often because it can help you identify trouble spots and plan for future needs.
Define the right metrics and reports. IT managers must monitor business and technical statistics to determine if they are meeting business commitments. They also must check under the hood to monitor the storage and IT infrastructure. To do this accurately, companies should choose the right metrics and then monitor and report on them frequently.
The processes defined in this column will help IT managers cope with storage growth, while storage management vendors evolve and improve their current elementary tools. Eventually, storage management software will actually be ready for prime time. You'll get more from those tools, though, if you've done the hard work of understanding what processes and procedures you need.

This week marks the centenary of the incorporation of Ford Motor Company (England) Limited, Henry Ford's first overseas company. The paperwork was signed in London on March 8, 1911, and vehicle manufacture began later that year with the assembly of Model Ts in a former tramworks in the Manchester suburb of Trafford Park. By 1914, Ford had become the largest vehicle producer in Europe, a position it held until the mid-1920s.
Trafford Park was succeeded in 1929 by the sprawling Dagenham plant, built on marshland on the north bank of the River Thames in Essex. Today, Dagenham concentrates on engine development and production, and turns out tooling and stamped parts. The photo above shows "the Dagenham-built Ford Anglia 100E in a quintessential English village setting. A significant update of the previous Anglia, the 100E featured major design changes to the exterior and interior improving accommodation and handling in an elegant package. Introduced in 1953, the Ford Anglia 100E sold for £360, saw over 335,000 produced and even proved itself in motorsport, winning its class in the 1956 Safari Rally."
Ford of Britain has a site dedicated to its centenary – it's worth checking out.

Myanmar Buddhists defeat Rohingya Muslim terrorists
Myanmar Buddhists defeat Rohingya Muslim terrorists
1. Who are the Rohingya?
They are illegal Muslim migrant workers and terrorists from Bengal region of Bangladesh, hence the name Bengali Muslims. Most were located to Burma (now Myanmar) by the British at the end of World War II to reward them for their help in fighting against the Japanese. The word Rohingya means "inhabitant of Rohang", which was the early Muslim name for Arakan, a state in northwestern Burma (or present-day Myanmar), bordered by Chin State to the north, Magway Region, Bago Region plus Ayeyarwady Region to the east, and the Bay of Bengal to the west. It is one the poorest states in the country with ghetto-like camps of huts and tents. During more than 100 years of British rule (1824-1948), there was substantial migration of mostly laborers to Myanmar from today's India and Bangladesh (formed as independent country only in 1971 by succession from Pakistan). Because the British administered Myanmar as a province of India, such migration was considered internal, hence not gaining much international attention as it should have just like in almost all cases of Muslim migration that have often resulted in massive rapes, death, and destruction to the destination nations and local communities of kuffar (non-Muslims) worldwide.
In reality, there were few Rohingya in Arakan before 1824, in contrast to the lies from the Islamofascist mouthpieces (al-Jazeera) and liberal fake news media (CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, Reuters, Time, Guardian). After officially gaining independence from India in 1948 (more than 2 decades earlier than Bangladesh, the source of Bengali Muslim terrorists, from Pakistan), Myanmar government viewed the migration that took place during British rule as "illegal, and it is on this basis that they refuse citizenship to the majority of Rohingya.
The Rohingya speak Rohingya or Ruaingga, a dialect that is distinct to others spoken in Rakhine State and throughout Myanmar. They are not considered one of the country's 135 official ethnic groups and have been denied citizenship in Myanmar since 1982, which has effectively rendered them stateless.

This is not the first time a beauty contestant was disqualified by Sharia compliant pageant agency for speaking the truth about the Islamic death cult and its immoral and moronic followers, the Muslim savages.
Miss America contestant representing Puerto Rico Destiny Velez was disqualified in 2015 for speaking tweeting "All what Muslims have done is provided oil & terrorize this country & many others."
2. Vast majority of so-called Rohingyas (%97) were Bengali Muslim migrants from Bangladesh, not Myanmar citizens
Indeed, Bengali Rohingyas were migrant workers from Bangladesh admitted to, and employed in, Myanmar in various time phases. To outrageously claim legitimacy for Bengali Muslim migrant workers to have citizenship status in Myanmar is no different than to outrageously claim legitimacy for migrant workers from India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Philippines and Indonesia to have citizenship status in Saudi Arabia, in which, %30 of the residents are foreign workers.

Even Bangladesh PM admits that Bengali Rohingya Muslims are not from Myanmar (they were Muslim migrant workers/laborers from Bangladesh).

3. United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is corrupt to the core
United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), currently composed of 47 member states, was so corrupt that it, under a slightly different name of UN Commission on Human Rights, was disbanded in 2005 when members were found trading votes in private deals before voting publicly.
As exposed by Wikileaks in June 2015, Saudi Arabia traded votes with United Kingdom so that it could join United Nation Human Rights Council.
"The Delegation is honoured to send to the Ministry the enclosed memorandum which the Delegation has received from the Permanent Mission of the United Kingdom asking it for the support and backing of the candidacy of their country to the membership of the Human Rights council (HRC) for the period 2014-2016, in the elections that will take place in 2013 in the city of New York," states one cable dated January 14, 2013. "The Ministry might find it an opportunity to exchange support with the United Kingdom, where the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would support the candidacy of the United Kingdom to the membership of the Council for the period 2014-2015 in exchange for the support of the United Kingdom to the candidacy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia."
UN Human Rights Council was so corrupt that Saudi Arabia was not only able to trade votes to get its seat in UN Human Rights Council, but also to buy the seat of Chairman of UN Human Rights Council with petrodollars. Public execution in Saudi Arabia jumped up in 20 years high, 130 in 2015.
Sharia UK's corrupt David Cameron, whose father was involved in tax evasion with offshore account as reveal by Panama Papers, lied that UK traded votes with Saudi Arabia in exchange for UK's national security.
"When the council passes more than 70 resolutions against Israel, a country with a strong human rights record, and just 7 resolutions against Iran, a country with an abysmal human rights record, you know something is seriously wrong", says even Nikki Haley, RINO and current U.S. ambassador to the UN.
The UNHRC is so corrupt that United States no longer wishes to be part of it, just like it has withdrawn from its predecessor, the Commission on Human Rights. There were even discussions about dismantling it.
4. Why did Islamofascist and terrorist-financier Saudi Arabia buy seats on UN Human Rights Council?
The short answer is to deceive kuffar as a form of taqiyya. The long answer is to facilitate hijrah, strategic Islamic migration to ultimately conquer kuffar nations for the Islamic Caliphate. By not only joining the UN Human Rights Council but also acting as its head, Saudi Arabia would be able to deflect any criticism of its human rights abuses inside the Kingdom, and in addition, to criticize other kuffar nations, under the pretext of human rights, for not taking in Muslim savages. or Soldiers of Allah, in the Trojan Horse, as the so-called displaced refugees. Make no mistake, Bengali Rohingya Muslim terrorists have been used as the tool by the Islamofascists and Wahhabis, represented in the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) that practically runs the current form of the United Nations from within, to terrorize, rape, mass murder, and eventually conquer kuffar in Myanmar.
5. Propaganda from Islamofascist OIC-controlled UN agencies and corrupt Alt-Left media terrorists
Readers should be aware of daily, heavy dose of propaganda from Islamofascist and corrupt Alt-Left media terrorists that strategically and maliciously spread misinformation to deceive the public to sway public opinion.
OCHA: Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
UNHCR: Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
UNICEF: United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund
All these OIC-controlled, propaganda-spewing overwhelmingly corrupt UN agencies attack kuffar Myanmar.
Al-Jazeera and AJ+, or Al-Jazeera Plus
Al Jazeera aka JSC (Jazeera Satellite Channel) is the largest Islamic propaganda-spewing mouthpiece funded by Islamofascist Qatar in Doha, owned mostly by the Al Jazeera Media Network and partly by Al Gore. Initially launched as an Arabic news and current-affairs satellite TV channel, Al Jazeera has since expanded into a network with 80 outlets around the world, with its online presence as Al-Jazeera Plus or AJ+.
(Click to enlarge)
Then of course, the usual suspects Alt-Left #fakenews media terrorists and Muslim-owned Muslim-run propaganda outlets.
They all carry the same tunes:
Describing the displaced Bengali Rohingya Muslim savages without mentioning the real reason for the displacement (constant attacks, rapes, killing, and forced conversions, on kuffar Buddhists and Hindus by Muslim savages), or lie about the reason altogether.
Lie about the ethnicity of the Bengali Muslim savages, saying that they have been Burmese residents for centuries (not true). This is similar to their sudden and recent declaration that Muslim savages were the original American colonists traveled to the New World, or they were original inhabitants of Palestine. This is all part of taqiyya by design, or Islamic deception technique, to validate their claim of land of the kuffar. Once the debate about residency on, and ownership of, the land is settled, the next taqiyya is usually about how great contributions the Muslim savages have provided to the kuffar's land and people, as like taqiyya by jihadi Hussein Obama about countless Muslim achievements in arts and sciences that have never been recorded in human history.
Many of these OIC's paid shills and traitorous minions are so desperate and stupid that they shamelessly make and spread blatant lies which are easily disproved with a simple online search. Here are exposed few from a vocal dhimmi certified liar Kenneth Roth @kenroth, executive director of globalist puppet and propaganda mouthpiece Human Rights Watch (@hrw) that received $100 millions for 10 years in 2010, or $10 millions annually, from terrorist financier Geroge Soros.

For example, the Sharia Alt-Left media terrorists often quote the UN Head of Human Rights Council Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, a white Islamist, who said the situation in Myanmar was a "textbook example of ethnic cleansing".
OIC-puppet corrupt UN Human Rights Council says the situation in Myanmar is a "textbook example of ethnic cleansing".
All the Alt-Left #fakenews media terrorists immediately run the the same script with his quote. Here are a few ABC, Financial Times, Independent, The Telegraph, BBC, Reuters, Guardian, New York Times, Al-Jazeera, etc.
As part of taqiyya from their Muslim puppet masters, these #fakenews media terrorists falsely claim that the Bengali Rohingya Muslims are "the most persecuted people in the world". This is not true. In Yazidis Genocide (2014-2015), the Yazidis have been by far more persecuted; women were raped and enslaved, men were killed, and kids were kidnapped, raised, and trained to be suicide bombers for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
ISIS killed and cooked an one-year-old child, and fed his meat as a meal to his mother, a captured Yazidi woman sex slave. The woman was starved for 3 days and was finally given a meal by her ISIS captors. When she finished eating, they said "We cooked your one-year-old son that we took from you, and this is what you just ate".

Similarly, the Armenian Christians were also more persecuted, as 1.5 to 2 millions of them were systematically eliminated in Armenian Genocide (1915-1923) by the Ottoman Empire's The Young Turks, during and after World War I, in present-day Turkey. Both Yazidis and Armenians were victims of Muslim atrocities.
Christian girls were crucified by Muslim Turks, Armenian Genocide (1915-1923).
In contrast, the Bengali Rohingya Muslim invaders were allowed to orderly leave their occupied terroritory Myanmar, and not executed like the Armenians and Yazadis have been by the Muslim savages. Therefore, it is NOT true that the removal of Bengali Rohingya Muslim terrorists is a textbook example of ethnic cleansing, even though it is very true that the Islamofascist OIC-puppet UN Human Rights Council remains a textbook example of Western corruption. Its nefarious goal is to use official channel (under the banner of "human rights") to pressure and ultimately conquer kuffar nations by population-replacement with Muslims and Islamic jihadists "Soldiers of Allah".
6. Role of Islamofascist OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) in Islamic global jihad
OIC's mission is to enforce Sharia Law upon kuffar outside of Muslim world, i.e, to conquer, subjugate, and convert non-Muslims worldwide via global Islamic jihad and annex their land and population to Caliphate.

In the US, OIC was able to use terror Muslim Brotherhood's front groupsto influence US Congress in passing House Resolution 418 to condemn Myanmar for its defense against Bengali Rohingya Muslim terrorists in similar attack in 2014.
OIC was behind the push of House Resolution 569, stealthily introduced in the middle of the night one week before Christmas Holidays, supported by 70 traitorous Democrats and RINO's, to condemn criticism of Islam in United States, effectively imposing Sharia Law in United States, in 2015.
OIC was behind UN's selection process of refugees to be imported to non-Muslim nations. Not surprisingly, almost all of the so-called refugees picked by United Nations to resettle in United States in the last 10 years have been Muslims.

Similar tactic, different locations, instructed by imams in mosques (aka jihad centers, sites of leadership and weapons storage), organized by caliphs and funded by OIC.
For example, tens of thousands of Bengali Rohingya Muslim savages flood out the streets from mosques, aka jihad centers, to search for their victims in brutal coordinated attacks with machetes, sticks, and stones. Just like anywhere else in the world, all of their victims do not have any issue living with any of the other ethnic and religious groups, except the Muslim savages.

8. Rohingya Bengali Muslim savages have been raping, killing, converting not only Buddhists but also Hindus in Arakan, Myanmar
In a disclosure, it has been revealed that 300 Rohingyas abducted 100 Hindus on August 25 and killed 92 of them.
Eight people who survived the assassination were all women, who later got converted to Islam.
They were then taken to Bangladesh, said the Myanmar State Councillor Information Office.
The revelation comes a day after the Myanmar's Army discovered two mud pits filled with 28 Hindu corpses, including women and children, outside a village in northern Rakhine.
Several Hindu refugees who survived have recounted that they were threatened and abused by Rohingya militants and forced to convert.
"We fled here after Rohingya terrorists came to attack us with swords, spears, sticks and guns. They burned our houses and farms. There were hundreds of them, from teenagers to men in their mid-30s. They said 'this is an Islamic state'. They shouted 'Rakhine state is our Rohingya state.' We told them Rakhine state is not theirs. They said they would kill Hindus and we saw them do it. We fled when they set fire to our houses," said a resident of Rakhine.
"They came wearing masks. Couldn't see anything but their eyes. They captured us. They had guns, axes, knives. They hacked my family members to death. They forcefully converted us to Islam. They hacked my husband, sister-in-law, and her son to death," said another woman, who managed to escape.
"The Rohingya militants have problems with the Myanmar Army as well as the common men who inhabit the Rakhine state. They are torturing and evicting Hindu Rohingyas from the land. Hindu families are brutally butchered and shot," a Bangladeshi aid worker stated.

#Rohingya Bengali Muslim terrorists blend in with the escaping refugees to Bangladesh, hence systematic & coordinated mass killing & raping of Hindus continue even in refugee camps there.
The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), previously known as Harakah al-Yaqin ("Faith Movement" or "Movement of Certainty", claimed responsibility for the multiple terrorist attacks against Buddhists and Hindus in Rakhine, Myanmar. In fact, these Bengali Rohingya Muslim terrorists threaten to turn not only Myanmar, but also India into Islamic State, This is the same goal of all Muslims, the moronic and immoral followers of the Islamic death cult, currently led by Islamofascist OIC, ordered by the evil Quran, to subjugate all kuffar and turn their lands into part of Caliphate by all means necessary, through costant, non-stop, relentless global Islamic jihad, to fulfill their jihad duty for their demonic Allah.

It is abundantly clear that the Muslim countries acts as a cohesive unit when it comes to pressuring, antagonizing, and committing jihad against the kuffar, non-Muslim countries in Dar al-Harb (land of war), even though Muslims treat each other like garbage. Despite criticizing Myanmar for not pushing out the Bengali Rohingya Muslim invaders, none of these Islamofascist Muslim countries (Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Iran) other than except Bangladesh where these savages come from, has offered to admit these so-called "refugees", even their own kind.

15. Conclusion
Make no mistake, the exodus of Bengali Rohingya Muslim savages is the result of the failed hijrah (strategic Muslim migration to conquer kuffar or non-Muslims and their lands) by global Islamic jihad force waging jihad on kuffar Myanmar. The Bengali Rohingya Muslim terrorists have been funded by terror financier Saudi Arabia, based in terror haven Pakistan, and trained in terror exporter Indonesia. The Islamic invasion failed because of the following reasons:
a. Bengali Rohingya Muslim terrorists are darn stupid, even more so than the average Muslim (IQ is in the 60's). They attack kuffar Myanmar while they are outnumbered (and outgunned) 99 to 1. Indeed, while Muslims compose %97 of population in Rakhine state, they make up only %4-5 in the whole country of Myanmar. It's like Muslim savages living in Dearborn or Hamtramck, Michigan decided to commit jihad on the rest of America.
b. Islamofascist terrorist Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Muslim Brotherhood throw fellow Muslim savages Bengali Rohingya under the bus. Despite Muslim savages worldwide organize protest in support of their fellow Muslim savages, the Bengali Rohingyas, not a single Muslim nation, except for Bangladesh- the country of origin of these Bengali Rohingyas, offers to take them in as refugees.
c. Buddhists in Myanmar don't play when it comes to defending their religion and culture. Even though Buddhism has been known to be the most peaceful religion on earth (no killing of sentient beings, even animals, hence all Buddhist monks and devout Buddhists are vegetarians), when needed, the Buddhists in Myanmar can fight a good fight for self-preservation. They saw what happened to previously peaceful Buddhist countries Afghanistan, Indonesia, and Malaysia, that were one by one invaded, conquered, and converted by Muslim savages into Islamic countries. It's a matter of survival for these gentle and peaceful Buddhists to defend themselves and their country from being invaded, annihilated, subjugated, and taken over by jihadi Mohammedan barbarians from 7th century.
"Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it."-George Santayana
It takes intelligence, determination, and courage, not blind faith, stupidity, nor appeasement, to do what the Buddhists in Myanmar were able to accomplish-to successfully defeat the Bengali Rohingya Muslim terrorists and drive back the their coordinated Islamic global jihad. To the Buddhists and almost all non-Muslims worldwide, it is exceptionally clear by now that no lasting peace can be achieved with the Muslims, unless and until they are no longer pose a threat to society and humanity, and that ultimately means they must reject the Islamic death cult and become civilized human beings.
d. Non-Muslim nations in Asia in general cannot be easily bought by petrodollars from Islamofascist OIC like those in the West, likely for the simple reason that traitors there are expediently executed if convicted of treason. As a result, there are not too many cases of corrupt government officials selling out their own countries and fellow citizens to foreign powers like those seen in Western Europe (David Cameron and Theresa May in U.K., Emmanuel Macron of France), Australia (Malcolm Turnbull), Canada (Justin Trudeau), and United States (the Bushes, the Clintons), etc. As a result, the Burmese military government, its de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi, and its Buddhist citizens all unite with one voice and one goal- to use all necessary means to defend, protect, and preserve the cultural and religious institutions of Myanmar along with its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national security.
Burmese Buddhist monk Ashin Wirathu: one can never have peace with Bengali Muslims because they destroy #Myanmar to form Islamic State, and like African carp, they eat everyone including their own.
Mr. Ashin Wirathu is the leader of the Buddhist nationalists and the 969 movement that has its ideological roots in a book written in the late 1990s by U Kyaw Lwin, a functionary in the ministry of religious affairs, and its precepts are rooted in a traditional belief in numerology. The number 969 is intended be 786's cosmological opposite, and represents the "three jewels:" the nine attributes of the Buddha, the six attributes of his teachings, and the nine attributes of the Sangha, or monastic order. The 969 movement encourage Buddhists to do businesses with only other Buddhists and Hindus, and is a direct response from the Burmese Buddhist community to the 786 movement initiated by the Bengali Muslims, in which Muslims commercially segregate from Buddhists, and only selectively do businesses with other Muslims. And just like Muslim-owned businesses display number 786, Buddhist owned businesses display number 969 to appeal to Buddhist customers and clients who boycott Muslim businesses that will channel to Islamic terrorists as Muslim zakat (obligatory Islamic donation, typically %2.5 of income, of which, %12.5 is specifically set aside for jihad purpose) back to harm and kill them.
Muslim religious obligation of paying Zakat typically %2.5 of income, of which, %12.5 is specifically set aside for jihad purpose.
Peaceful Buddhist monks mindfully seek Dhamma, truth by Buddha, in Myanmar. Now their way of life, spiritual and physical health are viciously threatened by Bengali Muslim terrorists, as part of coordinated Islamic global jihad on kuffar worldwide committed by Muslim savages, led and financed by Islamofascist OIC, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

Taking Your Business to the Net
This story appears in the January 2005 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
According to any given expert, e-commerce sites have grabbed the same share of retail sales it took catalog companies nearly a century to achieve. While business and technology market-research analysts like Jupitermedia admit online sales account for a relatively modest piece of the retail market at roughly 2 percent, the medium has become invaluable for researching purchases. By 2008, Jupitermedia predicts 30 percent of all retail sales will be influenced by the time consumers spend online.
Another proof point: For the fourth quarter of 2004-retail's biggest season-eMarketer, a source for research, data and analysis on e-business, anticipated a 27.4 percent year-over-year jump in online sales to more than $22.3 billion, excluding travel or auction transactions. If you're wondering just how much more potential exists, online auction powerhouse eBay facilitated $8.3 billion in goods traded in the third quarter of 2004, according to a recent financial report.
Jeffrey Grau, senior analyst for eMarketer, cites the "democratization of the retail world" as a primary impetus. For one thing, he says, the online buyer is morphing away from the original stereotype: an upper-middle-class male in his late 20s or early 30s. "It's going much more mainstream," Grau notes. "You're finding that more ethnic minorities are going online. [People in] more rural areas are going online."
From the entrepreneur's perspective, e-commerce dramatically increases the number of customers you can reach. Exclusive research performed by Ipsos-Insight on behalf of PayPal, the online payments division of eBay, found that 72 percent of companies doing business online cited higher sales as a positive outcome of their decision to launch a website. Another 65 percent said they found e-commerce had served to boost their profits.
And the future looks even brighter. Forrester Research, an independent technology research company, projects online sales will reach $316 billion by 2010, or 12 percent of all retail sales; it predicts that by that time, 77 percent of U.S. households will have regular online access, with 40 percent buying online. Forrester estimates most shopping categories will post compound annual growth of between 10 and 20 percent during that period. Certain segments are in line for above-average growth, including tools, hardware, garden supplies and flowers, as consumers shift from ordering over the phone to using online methods.
And then, there's salt.
Salt Gestalt
With a database of 10,000 customers and an anticipated $4 million in 2005 sales, 3-year-old SaltWorks Inc. of Redmond, Washington, bills itself as the world's leading company focused exclusively on sea salt-and we're talking both brick-and-mortar stores and the cyberspace variety.
For 39-year-old founder Mark Zoske, the choice to set up shop on the internet was a no-brainer, although he was worried about fronting the $50,000 to $100,000 it can take just to design a site. But his partner, Naomi Novotny, 34, says it became clear early on that focusing on an e-commerce operation was necessary. "It's our main advantage. We are really the only salt company that specializes in sea salt. There is a credibility level. We are out on the web; our competitors just aren't out there," Novotny says. "It seems like big suppliers of raw material aren't up to speed technology-wise."
SaltWorks sells everything from shakers of gourmet sea salt to 44,000-pound containers it acquires on behalf of the bigger spice companies.
"If it's a niche and it's spread out all over the world, then some portion of every town has some potential customers. There are some products you just can't sell any other way," says Matthew Roche, co-CEO and president of Offermatica, a San Francisco company that advises websites about how to convert visitors into buyers. "E-commerce is the anti-Wal-Mart," Roche quips.
Certainly, you wouldn't find the Salish Alderwood Smoked Salt that was recently featured on the SaltWorks site at your local grocery store. Both Novotny and Zoske had some previous experience in starting a business, so they split the startup tasks. Novotny negotiated tight relationships with sea-salt farmers in Belgium, France and Israel-often entering into exclusive deals to ensure supply-while Zoske boned up on technology.
Early on, SaltWorks located the server for its website at a local company, sharing the costs with other companies using the same hardware. But with more than 3,000 visitors per day, Zoske says, his site began hogging the server's capacity more quickly than he had anticipated. So SaltWorks bought its own server, although it still hires an outside firm to keep it up and running. To design the site's visual identity and transaction features, Zoske retained an on-staff development expert. The software behind the site includes Microsoft SQL Server (a recent upgrade from the company's original Access database); Microsoft's ASP.NET software for developing websites; Macromedia Dreamweaver and Macromedia Flash, which were used for creating animations and other visual content; and graphics-editing software including Adobe Photoshop.
Although he could have hired an outside designer-costing anywhere from $50 to $200 per hour every time the site needed an update-Zoske went with a staff expert because he needed to update the site often with new information, especially for its extensive salt reference guide. That guide, in fact, is used by SaltWorks in marketing activities to entice visitors to the site. Says Zoske, "We hoped that once they felt like they got something for nothing, maybe they would do some shopping."
Going, Going, Going...
Conversely, Auctions by the Bay Inc. is all about selling-antiques, to be precise.
The business was conceived as an offshoot of a popular antiques and collectibles fair in Alameda, California, in part to clear out goods that didn't sell. But co-founder Allen Michaan sought a bigger audience for his two monthly auctions than local crowds could create. So despite witnessing the failed online efforts of several venerable East Coast auction houses, he turned to eBay, where he and his wife, Sandra, 35, had made numerous purchases of their own. Says Allen, 52, "It was an absolutely logical move for us to put all of this on eBay, live."
"All of this" refers to the 22-person company's art deco-style theater in Alameda Point's former Navy facilities, where up to 450 bidders can view images of each item projected onto a movie screen as it is put up for bid. Simultaneously, employees manage bids submitted over the eBay Live Auctions service. Online bidders view the items via an electronic catalog that is uploaded to eBay prior to each event. For this service, Auctions by the Bay is subject to two fees: It must pay $1,500 for each catalog (up to 10,000 lots) that it uploads for an auction, and it is charged a final value fee of 5 percent of the final sales price to successful internet bidders. For 2004, Allen projects sales of about $4 million.
According to Allen, clients choose the showroom or eBay depending on the weather and the size of lots being auctioned. "If we have a large variety of small merchandise, we tend to sell more on the internet," he says.
That's because shipping fees can escalate quickly for delicate, yet sizable, antiques. Early on, Allen's team began warning online bidders to investigate the costs beforehand, after receiving some negative eBay feedback from buyers shocked by the delivery charges. The priciest item sold to an internet bidder was about $12,000, Allen recalls. "When you start getting into tens of thousands of dollars, it's less likely [for delivery to be a problem]. If there is something they want that badly, they'll show up in person," he says.
One drawback to adding the eBay component is that some bidders who show up in person are overwhelmed by rivals who aren't even in the room. Still, don't assume that gives the locals a disadvantage: Allen relates that some successful internet bidders will show up in person within 15 or
20 minutes to pick up items they've won.
Demographic Diversity
Although it wasn't conceived as part of her original business plan, Gwen Richardson, 46, says customers of her 6-year-old site, Cushcity.com, seek out her local storefront when they're in Houston.
Cushcity.com, named for the biblical figure Cush, offers what Richardson claims is the internet's widest selection of African-American-centric products, from books to calendars to toys. She started the venture with her husband, Willie, 56, when she found it difficult to find books for their daughter.
The last three years have been rough, and the Richardsons' business-expected to generate $1.5 million in 2005-hasn't grown as fast as Gwen would have liked. She says most of the mistakes made in the business resulted from her lack of previous retail experience. For one thing, Gwen initially invested in too much inventory; she has since learned to stock only the most popular items. Many of Cushcity.com's 34,000 customers actually pick up the phone when they order, and the staff takes that opportunity to find out what's hot. "They like to talk, and we listen," Gwen says. "The fact that we take calls and talk to our customers has really saved us money."
Cushcity.com's biggest puzzle right now is a technical one. When the Richardsons created the site in 1998 with about 700 items, they opted to use an application called Bookware, designed for bookstores. Now Cushcity.com's inventory has ballooned to more than 20,000 products. Although the Richardsons want to add what are now considered to be standard e-commerce features, such as letting a customer log in to his or her account to make a quick purchase or check order status, they are faced with doing this through custom programming. Gwen says that's because many off-the-shelf e-commerce software packages can't support the number of products Cushcity.com carries.
Another issue for the Richardsons: The way most other software programs create product pages could entail a complete overhaul of the way their site is designed and, as a result, could hurt their search page rankings. Cushcity.com doesn't plan to move its site to different software for the time being, although Willie is evaluating its options, which include looking to outside experts who can build new functionality into the existing technology.
With more than 50 million members, the PayPal online payment service from eBay may provide one of your biggest consumer pools. PayPal works by linking to a buyer's credit card, bank account or debit card, which means that information doesn't get exposed on the internet during a transaction. That has the advantage of helping your buyers feel more secure. With a program called PayPal Buyer Protection, eBay has taken security a step further. The program provides coverage of up to $1,000 for nondelivery of items purchased on eBay (or for items that aren't as described).
For sellers, PayPal also offers a number of benefits. It can be used in transactions that require recurring fees. Or it could prove useful if your customer demographic, such as teenagers or college students, typically doesn't have a credit card.
Exclusive research commissioned by PayPal in summer 2004 found e-commerce businesses that set up shop in cyberspace within the last three years were more likely to offer PayPal as a payment alternative. The research, conducted by Ipsos-Insight on behalf of PayPal, also compared the perceptions of PayPal merchants with those that use other methods for completing transactions. In particular, PayPal sellers were more likely than their counterparts to believe their transaction methods allowed them to receive payments quickly and easily.
Historically, PayPal has been used on eBay and by smaller merchants. Ipsos-Insight's research found that the majority of respondents that use PayPal as their transaction method generate less than $1 million in annual revenue. However, PayPal is being adopted more broadly, as evidenced by electronic payments provider CyberSource's recent decision to add PayPal as another option to the types of transactions it supports.
Making Your Market
Gwen isn't sure she wants to risk hurting the company's profile on search engines. That's because online marketing experts believe that, hands down, that's the most important place for an e-commerce entrepreneur to build visibility.
"It's probably the best and easiest way to start," says Jason Cohen, founder and CEO of MediaWhiz, an online performance marketing company in New York City. "Most of the search engines are offering tools you can use to track the results; you can start to measure the effectiveness."
Cohen suggests you start by submitting site information via paid search services, which allow companies to "bid" on terms they want to associate with their websites. The more money you're willing to pay for a certain word, the higher the visibility your site will receive on the list of options presented after someone enters a search query. Upward of 90 percent of paid search traffic is related to Overture, a service provided by Yahoo!, and the Google search site, Cohen says. "The more targeted words are better," he advises. "And you want to be straightforward in your descriptions about what you're promoting."
Zoske takes his business's profile on the major search engines very seriously, and he manages 10,000 different keywords across 12 different sites. He used to devote much more time to this activity but now spends about an hour daily ensuring SaltWorks isn't spending more money than it should. "You can spend thousands of dollars a day if you're not careful," he says. There are services you can use to handle this activity, but they can cost upward of $1,800 per month, Zoske says.
Gwen Richardson has used e-mail newsletters to good effect. Indeed, before Cushcity.com launched in December 1998, she began sending e-mails to potential customers. Now she uses the opt-in newsletter to send information about new items and promotions. Gwen also developed a special program for book clubs and started one in Houston to host book signings by new authors.
For his part, Allen Michaan actively promotes his eBay auctions with an extensive catalog on his website and through national advertising. The company is even flirting with doing a pilot for a weekly reality-TV program for a local station, tentatively titled "Bay Area Treasure Hunt" and hosted by Sandra, an acknowledged expert in vintage clothing.
Ringing up Sales
Once customers find you, your checkout process can make or break your e-commerce site. That's one reason Zoske actually built SaltWorks' shopping cart area from scratch-to keep the design consistent.
DoubleClick Inc., a leading provider of website analytic services, reported in August that while online consumers today are more likely to select items and place them in their shopping carts, they are also more likely to abandon the sales than in the past. Roughly 57 percent of carts were abandoned during the second quarter of 2004, and consumers were less likely to re-initiate the transaction, according to the company's quarterly "E-Commerce Site Trend Report," which includes data representing more than $1 billion in e-commerce sales. The bottom line: DoubleClick believes that for every dollar spent online, about $4.51 is left in a cart.
Some experts believe abandoned carts are a natural part of the evolution of e-commerce. After all, consumers browse real-world malls, too, without necessarily buying. Still, there are ways to improve your conversion rates.
Lauren Freedman, president of the E-Tailing Group Inc., a Chicago firm that provides merchandising advice to e-commerce companies, says online merchants can decrease the likelihood that a customer will give up on a transaction simply by making sure the shopping cart feature works. Recently, merchants have run up against problems with customers who use software that blocks pop-up ads, she says. Moreover, she says to concentrate on making sure the purchase process doesn't take too long and that your customers know exactly what stage they are at in the transaction. The average number of clicks needed to complete a typical purchase is around six, she says, and making the process easy can definitely be a point of differentiation.
Feelings of Insecurity
Like it or not, entrepreneurs and experts report that one big impediment to e-commerce is still security, especially when tied to accepting online payments.
According to Ipsos-Insight's research, the higher the proportion of sales that came from a company's online activities, the more likely they were to have challenges associated with fraud prevention.
"Many people are still concerned about credit-card risk, security, credit-card fraud, or violations of personal information that people enter into a website," adds Grau of eMarketer. And every reported security incident exacerbates the perception problem, he notes.
Sami Laine, director of solutions architecture for CyberSource Corp., a provider of electronic payment and risk management services in Mountain View, California, says one of the online merchant's top fears-that customer data will be pilfered and purloined by an outside intruder-can be addressed through simple policies, such as storing profile information on a separate site.
Another challenge is verifying credit-card information submitted electronically via an Address Verification Service, without actually turning away real customers. "Merchants sometimes think this is safer than it is, but this is not a good predictor for fraud," Laine says. "Plus, up to 95 percent of the 'no matches' are actually real cardholders."
Auctions by the Bay found out firsthand how vulnerable you can be shortly after its first online auction, when it noticed that the Apple Power Mac G4 that hosts its site was running very slowly. Baffled, Allen called an outside technical expert and discovered someone had hacked into the site and was using it to store video files. An employee had given the intruder his opening after uploading new images to the site and failing to close down a connection.
Lessons Learned
Experts agree that amid juggling all the tactical issues an e-commerce entrepreneur faces daily-like keeping site content updated and optimizing search engines-there is one key strategy they should embrace: creating a more personalized experience for each customer.
"As marketing gets more expensive, you actually have to tune the message," says Offermatica's Roche, pointing to the rise of cross-selling practices such as offering complementary products when a customer is checking out on your site. "The aim is just to put the whole offer in front of someone."
And remember, the internet is especially kind to niches, so don't try to be all things to all customers. Says Richardson, "If you can get it at Wal-Mart, we don't sell it."
Stay current.StoreSense from Kurant, offered through internet hosting companies, integrates with eBay, Federal Express, Intuit QuickBooks and UPS services, and supports payment options including PayPal. It links with online shopping search engines such as BizRate, Froogle and Shopping.com. StoreSense starts at $9.95 per month, depending on the service provider you pick.
Don't be scared.Monster Commerce is a single-source provider of storefront hosting services. A basic store that lists up to 5,000 products and handles 300 visitors per day is priced at $79.95, after setup fee. Like StoreSense, the software integrates with other small-business software applications and commonly used business services. It also offers features like free tax calculation and reporting.
Find a big brother. If you'd like to offload as much of the back-end work as possible, you may want to hitch your star to one of three e-commerce giants that has initiated programs to accommodate smaller businesses: Amazon.com, which extends the idea into services like gift registries; eBay, which lets entrepreneurs offer products at auction or for fixed prices; and Yahoo! Merchant Solutions, which claims to handle 1 in 8 online stores.

An overwhelming majority of Canadians want to see Stéphane Dion and Prime Minister Stephen Harper square off in a televised debate on the Liberals' proposal for a carbon tax, a new poll shows.
"Canadians appear to be ready to see Harper and Dion discussing policy away of the confines of the House of Commons, and this might help Dion," said Mario Canseco, director of global studies for Angus Reid Strategies.
Almost 70 per cent of Canadians are keen to see that debate happen, according to the Toronto Star/Angus Reid poll released yesterday.
Canseco said the political duel could work to Dion's advantage as he tries to pitch his party's carbon tax proposal to voters.
"More than anything, it gives Dion an opportunity to shed the label of weakness," Canseco said
The money quote:
"Harper might never agree to this debate, but Dion will have a chance to say that he was willing to meet him anytime, and that the onus is on the Prime Minister," Canseco said.
And there it is, whether Harper agrees or not is a side issue, what does matter is the optics. Dion wanting a debate, the public agrees and Harper is on the defensive. That is a terrific position to be in for Dion, because he does address the "weakness" factor and it is left to Harper to find excuses, or agree. I hope the formal letter includes the "will of Canadians", it would be a nice touch :)

Those houses are the colours of an assorted pack of candies!
The Bo-Kaap is definitely the most colorful part of Cape Town and a great place to explore. I think I wouldnt mind living in one of these brightly coloured houses either. This part of the city, situated on the slopes of Signal Hill above the city center was formerly known as the Malay Quarter. They have a lovely view over the city especially at night.
The colourful Bo-Kaap with its romantic cobble stoned streets is actually a multicultural area, very rich in history. Many of the residents are descendants of slaves from Malaysia, Indonesia and various African countries, who were imported to the Cape of Good Hope by the Dutch during the 16th and 17th centuries. The slaves were known as "Cape Malays" thus is Bo-Kaap still known today as the Cape Malay Quarter.
I followed Wale Street uphill from the Company Gardens until I got to the brightly painted Georgian terraces where wandering down the narrow cobbled streets is the best way to experience the area. I didnt realize that it was all up-hill to get there and the cobbled streets arent flat either. I learned the hard way that it would probably be a good idea to wear sneekers next time as my sandels caught in the cobbles and I tripped, nearly falling down on my face.
These steep streets are all lined with colorful traditional houses, painted in vibrant colors. Not only do they look cheerful but the people who live here are also very friendly. As I walked around with my camera people were more than willing to talk to me and to tell me a bit about the area and the history. I was surprised to find out that the owners often change the colours of their brightly painted houses and what is today a bright pink might be a pale blue house next year.
It surprised me that most of the people spoke Afrikaans until one of the ladies told me that the Afrikaans language was developed here in the Bo Kaap as a language for the slaves, as well as their masters, to be able to communicate effectively. Today Afrikaans is actually widely used in the Western Cape and the surrounding areas.
Many of the inhabitants of Bo-Kaap are descendants of the people from Indonesia (Batavia), Sri Lanka, India and Malaysia thus many were Mulims and others were converted to Islam by the Cape Muslim community. No wonder Afrikaans has so many words in common with Malaysian and other random languages. Even in Russian we have a couple of similar words which helped me a lot while living there.
As a result of Cape Town's economic development and expansion, and after the demise of forced racial segregation under apartheid, property in the Bo-Kaap has become very sought after. This is not only because of its location but also for its picturesque cobble-streets and unique architecture. While the majority of Bo-Kaap's residents are still of Cape Malay origin, the housing boom in the past fifteen years has seen an influx of foreigners buying up the beautiful, quaint, historical homes of Bo-Kaap.
But despite the apparent "gentrification" the residents say that they are still a very close knit community and not only help each other out but also work together to keep their neighbourhood safe. According to the residents the Bo-Kaap is one of the safest areas to live in Cape Town because they all look out for each other and they even have a neighbourhood watch to keep things orderly.
Those houses are the colours of an assorted pack of candies!
They do look like they are part of an amusement park
Loved this place! Such an amazing city.
I am having so much fun exploring this beautiful city and all the treasures it holds.
These are indeed very colorful and special. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome. It is such a beautiful part of cape Town.
Candy land colours 🙂 quite different!
It feels like you are walking through a playground.
I wonder how long they will remain as homes of the Cape Malay people. It is a district that has certainly changed since I lived in CT. Then the Bo Kaap area was one to avoid unless you wanted to buy drugs!! Colourful it may have been but not like it is now 😉
Wow, it has changed a lot then. Now it is a tourist hub and everytime I explore it I come across a tour group or other travelers taking photos.
Every day looks a happy day down there, Janaline! How could you not smile 🙂 🙂
You have to smile when you are here Jo! No wonder the people are so friendly.
love it! What a brilliant suburb!
It is such a unique neighbourhood and there are still so many side streets for me to explore.
Wow, how about I color mine fiesta red until I get tire of it, then Aqua next, etc.
That would be lovely!! You can change the colour every couple of years!
We've just returned from Cape Town, but I only got a glimpse of this neighborhood. Thanks for posting so many pics. I feel as if I'm right there.
Thanks Rusha! I am glad you got a glimpse as it is such a unique neighbourhood.
That is so beautiful. I would wake up and smile every morning seeing such beauty and color.
That was my thought as well! If more houses were painted such bright colours people would surely be more cheerful!
This was the one fascinating place I didn't visit when I was in Cape Town, and I regret that.
That is such a shame, hopefully there will be a next time so that you can come and explore this cheerful neighbourhood.
Beautiful neighborhood! Interesting place to visit indeed! Thanks for inspiring us to visit it – hopefully I will see it myself. Gorgeous photos!
I sure hope so Indah, it is such a beautiful neighbourhood. I think more places should be painted bright colours as it looks so cheerful.
These colorful houses are really cool. Especially because they all look pretty neat!
Definitely, most are well looked after and the whole neighbourhood is clean and tidy.
Wow! Love your pics, makes we wanna go there!
Thanks Elisabeth. It is a lovely neighbourhood and believe me so far the people as as friendly as their houses are bright.
Beautiful colors. It sure would put you in a good mood:-)

Beauty Box 5 is a monthly subscription service that delivers five beauty or skincare samples to your doorstep for only $12 a month (and the shipping is free)! Ordering recurring boxes gives you an even greater discount.
MaskerAide in Detox Diva: Hydrating Facial Sheet Mask
Full size: $4.99 for one mask
BB5: Full size ($4.99 value)
This was refreshing and fun. I like the convenience of sheet masks but at $5 per application, it's not quite a bargain.
Ban Total Refresh Cooling Body Cloths with smooth powder finish in Restore
Full size: $2.97 for 10 wipes
BB5: 3 wipes (~$0.90 value)
It was unclear what these were supposed to be used for... I thought they'd be like Blum all-purpose cleansing wipes in last month's box, but these are supposedly meant for refreshing the underarm area. They have a very strong "fresh clean" fragrance to them that I wasn't very fond of. I'd rather have a multi-use product with a more generic scent to it than these.
Cattiva Precisione Retractable Waterproof Eye Liner in Black
Full size: $20.00 for 0.012oz
BB5: Full size ($20.00 value)
I was happy that this wasn't dry or brittle--it applied sooo smoothly. It's a slightly greyish black, not a true midnight black, but it's a nice eyeliner. It isn't 100% smudge proof, but I use eye primer all the time and threw on a bit of shadow on top to "set" it.
Harvey Prince "Hello" perfume
Full size: $55.00 for 1.7 fl oz
BB5: Sample spray vial, 0.05 fl oz (~$1.62 value)
This smells nice and fresh and bright. It's a good scent for the warmer months, a little generic still a nice perfume that I'll wear occasionally.
H20+ Aqualibrium Marine Cleansing Gel
Full size: $18.00 for 4 fl oz
BB5: 0.27 fl oz (~$1.13 value)
Unfortunately, this didn't do much for me. It's a very, very, very gentle cleanser, and the little sample doesn't last long because I felt like I needed to use a lot of it to get any results at all. It has a nice faint clean scent to it.
Overall, this box is about a $28 value. The eyeliner and perfume are the products I'm most likely to continue to use and enjoy. Even though I'm not crazy about the other items, the $12 pricetag (with free shiping) still seems worth it.
