Why do we have different blood types?


differentiates them? Why Do We
Have Different Blood Types? unveils
the science behind blood type letters
and plus signs. blood type tenaadam

In the U.S., about five million
Americans need blood transfusions
every year for a variety of reasons.


All blood tends to look pretty
much the same, containing the basic
components including red cells, white
cells, platelets, and plasma, but yet not

everyone is the same blood type.



Human blood types are vital
for determining where we can get a
blood transfusion during an emergency
or for cancer treatment, but what

Blood types allow us to save lives by


transfusing blood into patients and
also fend off infectious diseases. When
foreign objects like bacteria or viruses
also known as antigens get into
the body, the white blood cells produce
antibodies to attack it. This antibody
then attaches itself to the edge in
our immune system to keep us from
getting sick.

Unlike the foreign antigens
that enter our body, antigens in our

red blood cells dont aggravate our


immune system. These millions of
antigens are what determine our blood
type, according to Life Noggin. For
example, if you have both A and B
antigens, then your blood type is AB.
Additionally, if you have neither A nor
B antigens, then you have type O.

Blood types are crucial for
blood transfusions to protect the
immune system. If you have type A
blood, this means you have anti-B
antibodies, and cannot receive
someone elses blood thats type B.
This will cause the immune system to
attack, thinking its a foreign object.

Pan Am Games opening ceremony is bizarre and


brilliant, absurd and breathtaking
perseverance, the athletes are on the brink of
completing the dream they have strived so long
for. Their journeys are a metaphor for life.

Ethiopian Swede Tennis Star Elias


Ymer shines in Wimbledon
making a tiny slice of Wimbledon history the
first Swedish man in the draw since Soderlings
last appearance in SW19. Ymer lost but his
commendable performance in a 6-7, 6-2, 6-4,
7-6 defeat by Karlovic, one of the most awkward
opponents on the tour, offered glimpses of a
brighter future for Sweden.

Metaphors tend to lose their power when they


are explicitly pointed out.

More from Eric Koreen | @ekoree


TORONTO More than an hour before the
Pan-Am Games opening ceremony officially
got underway, CBC television anchor AnneMarie Mediwake, co-hosting the pre-show,
asked a question that has never been asked
before and will likely never be asked again.
The Posts Guide to the Pan Am Games
Are you ready to Pan-Am party?
What followed was a 150-minute procession
that married the familiar a parade of nations
and national celebrities with the absurd
one homage to wildlife that included a bear,
caribou, woodpecker and owl shepherding a
group of 150 children to the stage.
As always, the abstract portions of the ceremony
were among the most bewildering, albeit
breathtaking, although a loose focus on Native
Canadian culture helped. Cirque du Soleil
featured prominently in a program that featured
acrobats in floating bubbles and spinning
ladders, ballet dancers, gymnasts leaping over a
line of fire and a light show. (They lost the plot
right around the tribute to radio waves.)
If you could not read along with the broadcasters
guide, it was tough to get the gist of things. I
mean, how could you?
Every child is born with a sense of wonderment,
and in this primordial forest created by the
Messenger to represent our country and the
first stirrings of life, every dream is permitted
and anything is possible, is how the guide
explained the forest scene. Yes. Of course.
Again, this was typical for these things the
language used is always inherently ridiculous.
According to the organizers, the entire Pan-Am
Ceremonies Venue aka the Rogers Centre,
aka the SkyDome represents the womb.
This was not a stage for any light touch. Take its
raison dtre: Athletes are outstanding human
beings. What began as a dream, grew into a
deeply held conviction. Through hard work and

There were nods to Canadas athletic past,


most notably a video sequence that featured
the five members of the gold medal-winning
relay team from the Atlanta Olympics. There
was no subtlety to be found here, either, with
the teams two most famous sprinters, Bruny
Surin and Donovan Bailey, passing the PanAmerican flame from Surin to Bailey on the CN
Towers Edgewalk. Bailey, or his stunt-double
equivalent, then base-jumped off the tower into
the building in the pre-taped segment, torch in
hand.
Inevitably, these were the moments that landed
best with the fans who paid in between $55 and
$355 to attend. Recognizable faces are always
more popular than interpretive, interactive
performance art.
While there was no Drake appearance he
has been at Wimbledon the national anthem
was handled by pianist Chilly Gonzalez, who
has collaborated with Daft Punk, and vocalist
Vronic DiCaire. One is an Anglophone from
Qubec, the other is a Francophone from
Ontario, because we are complicated like that.
Gonzalez was wearing what appeared to be
a red velvet robe and slippers from the Hugh
Hefner collection.
On the style front, Cuba made the best
impression, in formal attire ill-suited for the
warm temperatures. Meanwhile, Team Grenada
dressed like your sun-despising uncle on a trip
to the beach. (Canada has grey in their uniforms,
which makes as much sense as that time when
the hockey team incorporated yellow into their
jerseys.)
The ending was poignant for anybody who
follows basketball in this country. Former track
star Marita Payne Wiggins, a two-time Pan Am
Games medallist, met her son, reigning NBA
rookie of the year Andrew Wiggins, with the
flame, who went on to meet the recently retired
Steve Nash, who ran outside to the CN Tower,
igniting a bowl that transferred the flame to the
cauldron.
It was a blend of populism and the bizarreadjacent motifs, which made it all perfectly
normal for the occasion. There were no jokes
about beavers or maple syrup, so you can count
the 2 hours as a victory.

Jacob Steinberg at Wimbledon


Guardian News
Wimbledon, once such a lush paradise for the
Swedes, has been a distant and unreachable
land for men from the country of Bjorn Borg
and Stefan Edberg in recent times.
It has been neither a happy nor an unhappy
hunting ground; it has simply existed beyond
their sphere of influence, forcing them to watch
from afar, looking in from the outside, trying
and failing to sneak through a gap in the gates.
For a nation with such a grand tennis pedigree
the slump is hard to take.
When Robin Soderling lost to Lleyton Hewitt
in the second round in 2011 few people could
have predicted it would be another four years
before Sweden had a male player in the first
round at Wimbledon. Then again, nor could
they have known that in 2015 people would
still be waiting for the moment when Soderling
was fit and healthy enough to pick up his racket
again and remind us why he was once the world
No4.

There is a vital context to the decline, for


Soderlings story is tinged with a heavy sadness.
Sweden did have a top player, someone who
had one of the most brutal forehands in the
game and he was cut down in his prime by
mononucleosis, an energy-sapping viral illness
that put the brakes on Soderlings career.
Soderling is only 30. He reached the final of
two French Opens and only one other man can
say he has a win over Rafael Nadal on the Paris
clay. Soderling recently said he is targeting a
return in 2016 but it is a forlorn hope that he
will be able to regain his old level.
Advertisement
In the 70s and 80s Sweden ruled. Borg won
five consecutive Wimbledons, Edberg won it in
1988 and 1990, and the dominance was so stark
that there were only two years between 1974
and 1992 when a Swede failed to win a grand
slam. Although Mats Wilander was never got
past the quarter-finals at Wimbledon, he settled
for three Australian Opens, three French Opens
and one US Open instead.

Ymer has a long way to go before he matches


those astounding achievements but the 19-yearold, who has Ethiopian heritage, is rated
It meant there was a buzz on Court 12 for Ivo highly by many pundits. He is part of Magnus
Karlovics match against Elias Ymer, who was Normans academy and it will surely not be
long before he wins his first match at a grand

Sylvia Pankhurst: Citizen of the World


Her Struggle against Colonial Aggression in Ethiopia
Emperor Haile Selassie, Sylvia E. Pankhurst And the Ethiopian Independence
By Berihun Assfaw (Toronto, Canada)

Ato Berihun Assefaw


TO BE CONTINUED

PART TWO

It is unfortunate that Ato Zewede
Retta, the Emperors Ambassador to Italy,
didnt reveal the great contributions of
Wozero Sylvia in the struggle for the return
of Eritrea to Ethiopia in his 542 pages
Amharic book, Ye Eritrea Guday (The
Case of Eritrea). In fact, Sylvia Pankhurst
was the first to lift up the return of Eritrea,
including Italian Somaliland, to Ethiopia
in 1942. Not Emperor Haile Selassie or his
long time Prime Minister Stehaffi Tezaz
Akililu Habte Wolde. Pankhurst studied the

Minister Akililu Habte Wolde.

historical connections of Eritrea to Ethiopia,


from Blaten Geta Lorenzo Tazaz, and Blaten
Geta Efrem Twolde Medhin, both seniors to
Tsehaffi Aklilu. Pankhurst lobbied in the first
London based Big Powers Conference, and
later in the Paris Peace Conference in 1946,
not to give back the Italian colonies to the
new government of Italy, but to Ethiopia.

It was because of Sylvas unceasing
propaganda that the new labor government of
Prime Minister Clement Atlee changed
its pro-Italian stand and opened the door for
the reunion of Ethiopia and Eritrea. That is
why she wrote 8 books about Ethiopia, 3
of them on the return of the former Italian
colony to Ethiopia; Ethiopia and Eritrea
(The last Phase of the Reunion Struggle
1941-1952), Eritrea on the eve: the past
and future of Italys first born colony,
Ethiopias ancient sea province, and Why
are we destroying the Ethiopian Ports?

These books were written before Ato Zewede


Retta finished high school. Zewedes book,
Ye Eritrea Guday lacks objectivity and
is emotionally one-sided, overvaluing his
relative the Emperor Haile Selassie.

It seems that Ato Zewde Retta didnt
read enough, The New Times and Ethiopia
News from 1936-1956, in which Pankhurst
and her companion Silvio Corio, wrote
hundreds of articles about Ethiopia and the
return of Eritrea to Ethiopia. Ato Zewedes
book Ye Eritrea Guday represents Ato
Akililus work at the United Nations in a
theatrical way with different unnecessary
photographs of him.

First and foremost, Ato Zewede
didnt explain why Ato Akililu Habte Wold
replaced the heroic and astute politician
Blaten Geta Loronzo Tazaz, who was the
right hand man of the Emperor in exile

Lorenzo Tazaz and others. When Ethiopia to be proud of. As far as I am concerned, an

and who wrote the Emperors speech at the


League of Nations.
Those foreign educated Ethiopians would
have done better than Ato Akililus
representation of Eritrea, from 1946-1950,
especially those Eritreans who were members
of the delegation. One of the members of
his delegation, Belaten Geta Efrem Twolde
Medhin, was an English teacher and later
minister abroad when the young Akililu was
a student in Paris, and after that secretary in
the Ethiopian Legation also in Paris. Blaten
Geta Efrem was also one of the members of
the Ethiopian delegation to the League of
Nations that was led by the Emperor.
He was deputy representative to Blaten Geta
Lorenzo Tazaz to the League of Nations, and
official English translator of the Emperor
during the Italian occupation of Ethiopia.
Above all he was an Eritrean who knew the
political conditions and the history of Eritrea
under the Italian colonial yoke. He was a
man with extensive experience, who spoke
Tigrinya,

Amharic, French, English, and
Italian. It is doubtful whether Ato Akililu,
understood the history and socio-political
situations of Ethiopia and Eritrea at that time.
It would have had credibility if the Eritrean
cause had been presented and debated by the
Eritreans themselves.
What would Ato Akililu had done if there
was no cause of Eritrea from 1946-1950?
Let alone at that time, even afterwards, the
foreign minister was the Emperor himself.
There were only four embassies in Addis
Ababa, that of Britain, America, France,
and the former Soviet Union (Russia). The
ambassadors of these countries did not know
the gate of the Ethiopian foreign ministry. If
they needed to discuss an issue they headed
straight to the Emperor himself. To them the
gate of the palace was open; the emperors
respect of them was so high, that the French
ambassador criticized him. Pankhurst

needed his service and intellect, Ato Akililu


was living in Paris and Lisbon. He simply
appeared in Addis Ababa after Haile Selassie
returned from exile, and was appointed a
minister.
Ato Zewdes book needs a dictionary to
translate all of the unnecessary foreign words
used in his book. Ato Zewde perhaps hoped
that using foreign words would be a sign of
advancement but in fact it is shameful and a
sign only of backwardness. Ato Zewde Retta
has put the French culture over the Ethiopian.
He thinks that the love of the French culture,
by Ato Akililu Habte Wold, was something

Ethiopian Prime Minister who was not proud


of his countrys culture and history should
not be called wholly an Ethiopian. People
who worked closely with Ato Akililu at that
time, the late Bitweded Zewede, Ato Haddis
Alemayehu and those who are still living, Ato
Amannuel Abrham, Ato Menase Lemma, and
his private secretary Ato Emeru Zelleke, did
not confirm the authenticity of the book. The
reliable source the great principled author
Ato Haddis Alemayehu commented on the
book saying Is it Akililu we knew or another
Akililu?

The Ethiopian embassies abroad were only


in America, Britain, France, and the former
Soviet Union (Russia). The Ethiopian
ambassadors communications were also
directly with the Emperor not with the
foreign minister. The ministry of foreign
affairs office at that time was very small and
its annual budget was about 200,000 Birr.
There were nothing more for Ato Akililu
Habte Wold to do other than go to New York
and stay for months every year.
In the true meaning of the word, he was
neither foreign minister nor prime minister.
He himself told the Ethiopian people he was
only prime minister by name; the real prime
minister was Princess Teigna Work. The last
prime minister of Haile Selassie was a French
man in black skin. He had a low opinion
about the Ethiopian people and culture. In
his fifteen years as Prime Minister he never
visited the provinces. He refused to appear
in Parliament when the Parliamentarians
summoned him. The Ethiopian people and
Akililu Habte Wold did not know each other.
He did not serve the Ethiopian people during
the darkest hour, the Italian occupation, like

By Chris Goldsburger July 15, 2015

By the third round of our drinks he


prefers Heineken I had been extremely
taken-aback by this young man.

with a still incomplete academic destination,


yet would soon earn an undergraduate
degree, an LLB and LLM in record time.
Upon graduation, while unsuccessfully
securing an internship, he would become a
powerful voice with ESAT a TV station
that opposes the Ethiopian government. (In
2014, he was called to the bar). He would
introduce me the biographies of Eskender
Nega, an Ethiopian journalist and an
Amnesty International adopted prisoner of
conscious.

A university student leader during an


Ethiopian election, he had fled to Kenya
and Uganda as a political refugee. He
had challenged the Ethiopian authority
and they had come after him. His many
friends had been beaten up, and many have
disappeared to neighboring countries. He
also would follow in their footsteps. From
the day he left, he would refuse to cut
or trim his hair, as a protest to what was
happening, in Ethiopia.

The one-hour planned conversation would


last four hours. At the end, I would gain
an understanding of the hope and reality
of Ethiopia. I would soon read books and
follow the current politics of the country.
The reality of todays Ethiopia is where
a brutal government holds an election and
every parliamentarian seats is won by them
while opposition leaders are imprisoned
and journalists who did not endorse the
government are imprisoned.

I suggested we meet at my favorite Irish


bar and he wanted to invite me to an
Ethiopian restaurant. I was not sure. I was
not familiar with the food. I persisted we
go to an Irish bar and I won.

My only association with his country was


during the infamous Ethiopia famine where
I had made a generous donation with my
wife. For me, Ethiopia, always represented
misery and charity, but that would soon
change. Beyond the history and politics
of his home country, he knew more about
Canada more than I would care to know.
He loved Canada and respected the many
Canadians who gave him opportunities
along the way.

There was nothing extraordinary about him

He had come to Canada, as a refugee and

Teklemichael Shalemariam is an important


and extraordinary voice in Canada for
better ideals for all of us. I have never
known a better advocate for peaceful
political change, at home and abroad, than
him. I am lucky to have known him and
continue to have a regular conversation
about many important issues, including
about Ethiopia and Canada. I am forever
thankful that Canada has given such a
significant voice a home. He is Ethiopia's
loss but Canada's gain.

Washington (AFP) - More than 50 African and


global human rights groups on Tuesday called on US
President Barack Obama to publicly meet democracy
activists when he visits Ethiopia and Kenya later this
month.
In a letter delivered to the White House, groups
welcomed Obama's planned visit but voiced concerns
about "grave and worsening human rights challenges"
in his host countries.

and human rights activists," the letter said.

Citing the arrest of six bloggers in Ethiopia -- five of


whom have recently been released -- and sanctions
against two Kenyan human rights groups, the
signatories described a "shrinking civic space" in both
countries.

Signatories included a host of African nongovernmental groups as well as Human Rights Watch,
Freedom House, the Open Society Foundation and the
Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Center.
"We believe it imperative that you take the opportunity
of your visits to meet publicly with pro-democracy

Obama is due to visit Ethiopia later this month as well


as Kenya, where his father was born.

Teklemichael Sahlemariam

Teklemichael Sahlemariam has only


lived in Canada for a decade yet he has
achieved what most would only dream
of achieving in a lifetime. The Canadian
lawyer, one-time Ethiopian refugee is
emerging as the most reasonable voice for
Ethiopia and Ethiopians in Canada and
in their homeland. It is unfortunate; he is
not in Ethiopia, fighting for the ideals he
passionately cares about. It disappoints me
to know the young man is a wanted man
in his homeland and will likely be sent to
prison if he set foot there for advocating
for political change. To Canada, he is one
of our valued celebrated Canadian citizens.
In 2011, a colleague from my law-school
days had suggested I meet with the young
political activist in Victoria. I was a retired
lawyer and he was a new Law school
graduate. I was not sure if we would have
anything in common to talk about.

Rights groups press Obama to meet activists on Africa trip

Obama's willingness to meet activists, they said,


would afford the groups protection and send a
message that Washington stands with them.

when he walked to my table 15 minutes
later than expected apologizing repeatedly.
His hair was a mess and his facial hair had
almost swallowed his baby face. His grey
hair made him look 20 years older than his
actual age. I expected our conversation to
last an hour and I wanted an use an excuse
of family obligations to leave.

while President Uhuru Kenyatta faced charges of


crimes against humanity for his role in 2007-2008
post-election violence.
The International Criminal Court has since suspended
that prosecution, citing a lack of evidence and Kenya's
failure to cooperate.
Human rights groups have criticized the Kenya trip,
but have also questioned why Obama is visiting
Ethiopia so soon after a contested election, which saw
the ruling party win all parliamentary seats.
The White House stressed that it frequently addresses
issues of democracy and political rights with countries
in the region.

Samuel Getachew

Samuel Getachew Interviews Pooja Handa

Pooja Handa has had a long and rich journey in broadcasting with CP24 and Global TV. A graduate of York University and Seneca College, Pooja is
also a noted mentor and volunteer with many organizations including the Canadian Liver Foundation and the Halton Industry Education Council. She
shares with me her background, career and the wise words her father shared with her, when faced with adversity.
tell. But the biggest highlight for
me is having the privilege of sharing
in peoples days. I never take for
granted that I show up in their
homes, telling them about whats
happening in the world, in their city
and helping them get ready for their
day all while trying to put a smile
on their faces. I feel a real sense of
community when I walk down the
street.
Samuel:
Many people enjoy watching you
on CP24 BREAKFAST. In your
opinion, what makes the program
unique and different compared to the
other morning programs?

Pooja Handa Q&A responses

Samuel:
Pooja You have often been
described as a story teller who uses
wit and humour to engage viewers
both inside and out of the studio.
Tell me about yourself?
Pooja:
I grew up in Mississauga and from a
very young age had the gift of the gab.
Thats a nice way of saying I talked
a lot! I was always acting, telling
jokes, imitating my family members
and performing Bollywood dances
at local cultural events. I knew I
wanted to be a performer from a very
young age and majored in Dramatic
Arts at an Arts focused high school
in Mississauga called Cawthra Park
S.S. I later moved to New York
City after being accepted by the
American Academy of Dramatic
Arts. However, after a year in the
Big Apple, I soon realized that
perhaps acting wasnt for me.
I needed to do something more else

my skills and I could hear my dads


voice telling me I needed to get a
post-secondaryeducation. And so
I did. I decided journalism was the
best way to utilize my performance
ability with my natural desire to tell
stories only it would be stories that
mattered. I went on to major both
in Broadcast Journalism and Women
Studies at Seneca College and York
University. I landed my first on-air
job at the age of 24 and continued
to report on everything including
Traffic, Weather, Entertainment,
News and eventually hosting CP24
BREAKFAST.
Samuel:
You have been a familiar face on
CP24 and Global TV. What have
been some of the highlights for you
so far?
Pooja:
I am fortunate to be able to meet a lot
of amazing people on a daily basis.
From newsmakers to celebrities
to everyday people with a story to

Paul Vander Vennen

Pooja:
Me of course! Kidding! We recognize
that people are very busy in their
lives but still want to be informed
before they start their day. CP24
has everything viewers want from
LIVE news, weather, traffic, sports,
entertainment and what people are
talking about every 15 minutes.
We are also up on the air first at 5
a.m. on weekdays, and are the only
breakfast show that airs seven days
a week. And even when you cant
wait for the anchors and reporters to
inform you, theres everything you
need on our screen! Not to mention,
when theres breaking news, we are
the go-to station to tell you whats
happening now.
Samuel:
Looking back on your career and
upbringing, who were some of your
mentors and what impact did they
have on you?
Pooja:
My parents have always been very
supportive of me following my
dreams. They always told me to
go after what I wanted and that
there wasnt anything I couldnt
do. I realize that not everyone is
lucky enough to have parents who
truly believe in them to make the
right choices for themselves. Mine
did and they were always there to
support me in all my endeavors. I
also remember watching Monika
Deol host Electric Circus and for the
first time realized that someone who
looked like me was on TV. It was
a time when very few South Asians
were seen in mainstream media. I
remember thinking if she can do it,
I can too. For me she opened the

door of possibilities, even though


I had never met her. So while she
was never a mentor per se, she was a
huge inspiration.
Samuel:
You have been a noted volunteer
and advocate for many charity
organizations. Share with us some of
these organizations you are involved
in and why are they important to
you?
Pooja:
I have been fortunate to have many
opportunities to volunteer my time
with various charities. Its a real
honour to be able to use my voice
to bring attention to causes such as
The Canadian Liver Foundation,
Community
Living
Toronto,
Motionball, Street Kids International,
SANSAR, Seva, 3TO6 Team, and
Kids Help Phone, just to name a few.
While they all resonate with me, one
annual event is particularly special
for me.
Halton Industry Education Council
gave me the opportunity to help
mentor young women in their career
paths. It essentially allowed me to
help them follow their dreams in
an annual event called Women as
Career Coaches. As you might guess
by my having a degree in Womens
Studies, its been a very gratifying
experience to be able to celebrate
and empower such wonderful, bright
young women. It never ceases to
amaze me just how much I learn from
them year after year about following
my own dreams.
Samuel:
To those who may want to emulate
such a career as yours, what advice
do you have for them?
Pooja:
I will pass on some wise words my
father gave to me when I was ready
to give up in the face of adversity.
He said: If it is to be it is up to
me. And as simple as that is, its
the absolute truth. No career path
is easy. Hard work, perseverance,
practice, dedication, sacrifice are just
some of the words that describe my
career path. But its all possible and
attainable if you believe in yourself
to get it done. Ultimately if doors
dont open for you, you have to kick
them down.

The City of Toronto inaugurated our 100th


public library in Scarborough earlier this
week. I am excited and this certainly is a
great milestone worth celebrating. I cannot
wait to go and visit this particular library
this weekend. "I have more libraries in my
area than I have Tim Horton's", former City
Councilor Doug Ford once reflected. I wish we
did but we do not. We need more libraries in
every area of our city and not less.

Toronto's Newest Public Library

John Ivison: Conservatives and Liberals


race to the ballot box on tax cuts

have their heads in the clouds and their feet


in the ballot box.

Should Be Named After This Man

It would certainly make sense from a


strategic point of view. Raising the basic
personal exemption is the only truly
universal tax cut, benefitting all taxpayers
and taking many working poor off the tax
rolls altogether.

Who will cut taxes the most?

John Ivison

The Conservatives have long been the WalMart of Canadian political parties, driven
by the mantra every day low taxes.


The City of Toronto inaugurated
our 100th public library in Scarborough
earlier this week. I am excited and this
certainly is a great milestone worth
celebrating. I cannot wait to go and visit
this particular library this weekend. "I
have more libraries in my area than I have
Tim Horton's", former City Councilor
Doug Ford once reflected. I wish we did
but we do not. We need more libraries in
every area of our city and not less.

Toronto's Chief Librarian,
Vickery Bowles said in a press release:
"The (new) branch is a beautiful,
open space that combines the things
we've come to expect from libraries
-- comfortable lounge and reading
spaces, a wide variety of materials,
knowledgeable staff -- with a focus on
flexible and collaborative spaces, as well
as access to technology for all, that that
will take us well into the 21st century."
That is a beautiful thing.

It is heartening knowing that
there are politicians and civic leaders
who still understand libraries are
great public institutions. This branch
will house more than 42,000 reading
materials in multilingual languages, in
reflection of Scarborough being one of
the most diverse areas of Toronto, and
will also be a digital innovation hub.

The chair of the Toronto Public
Library Board, Rob Carinci said in a
press release: the "vision is of a library
that will be an extension of this rapidly
growing community's living, working
and social space."

Like many public institutions
named after noted Canadians, such
as the Barbara Frum Branch Public
Library, I hope this library is also named
after a Canadian that is still respected
and adored and left a powerful legacy.
I have such a name that needs to be
acknowleged by naming the new library
after him. His name is Daniel Grafton
Hill. The name -- the Daniel Grafton
Hill Branch Public Library -- would be
an appropriate gesture for someone that
has made such a powerful impact in his

adopted city until his death in 2003.



There are very few Torontonians
that have made a profound impact in our
lives rather quietly than Daniel Hill.
Escaping racism and unrest in the then
America, he came to Canada in the 1950s
to complete his PHD at the University
of Toronto and never left. He would
became a noted social activist, scholar
and advocate for better ideals all his
life. A proud Canadian citizen, he wrote
the much celebrated book The Freedom
Seekers: Blacks in Early Canada in 1980.

The one-time professor of
sociology, he was also the founding
director and later chair of the Ontario
Human Rights Commission. He would
also serve as Ontario's Ombudsman and
advisor to government institutions on
multiculturalism.

He became involved with the
Social Planning Council of Metropolitan
Toronto, the North York Social Planning
Council and the Alcoholism and Drug
Addiction Research Foundation, all in
senior roles. Recognized with the Order
of Ontario and with the Order of Canada,
Hill operated a noted human rights
consulting firm, started the Ontario Black
History Society, donated resources to
countless charities, at home and abroad,
and became a supporter of Canadian arts.

His children -- Lawrence and
Dan Hill -- would become noted authors
and artists. Lawrence would go on and
write the celebrated books The Book of
Negroes, Black Berry, Sweet Juice: On
Being Black and White in Canada and his
upcoming, The Illegal. Dan would record
chart-topping songs such as "Sometimes
When We Touch" and "Can't We Try."
He would also earn a Grammy for his
work with Celine Dion.
In 1991, the family donated much of
their personal documents to the Archives
of Ontario.
I believe, it would be wonderful, if we
finally celebrate and recognize the great
Daniel Grafton Hill. The naming of our
newest library after him is an appropriate
gesture and the right thing to do.

Families with children will next week find


themselves on the receiving end of the
Harper governments largesse in the form
of $3-billion of enhanced universal child
care benefit.
Yet, despite promising $27-billion in tax
cuts over the next five years, the Tories find
themselves in the uncomfortable position
of having been outbid for voters affections
by Justin Trudeau.
The Liberal leaders fairness plan for
middle-class families promises families
with two kids earning $45,000 will be
nearly $4,000 a year better off than they
would be under Stephen Harpers family
tax package.
For a party that has made low taxes its end
of the aisle statement, this is a reality that
cannot be allowed to stand.
The Conservatives looked at trimming
the goods and services tax by another
percentage point, but swiftly concluded the
$7-billion price tag was too rich.
The chat now is of other measures,
based on what worked in the 2009 budget.
It suggests strongly the Conservative
platform will propose to raise the basic
personal exemption that allows individuals
to earn more before they start paying
income tax. That amount was raised to
$10,320 in the 2009 budget, from $9,600,
and is currently $11,138. The cost of even
that minor increase in 2009 along
with small changes to the two lowest tax
brackets was $2-billion a year. Aaron
Wudrick at the Canadian Taxpayers
Federation estimates it would cost up to
$289-million for every $100 increase in the
basic personal exemption.
Given the parlous state of the public
finances in the era of $50-a-barrel oil, it is
difficult to see any fiscal room for further
cuts.
But we are less than 100 days from a
general election all the party leaders

It would provide a suitable riposte to


Trudeaus fairness campaign whats
more fair than a tax cut for everyone?
If nothing else, it would give the
Conservatives a justification for running
an attack ad, featuring an exchange from
the House of Commons in late spring,
in which Harper said his tax policy has
helped every single Canadian family in
the country.
The Conservatives probably wont
introduce a $2-billion tax cut just to give
them a punchline for an attack ad. Probably
The Liberal leader rose to inform the
House that benefitting every single family
is not what is fair.
The Conservatives probably wont
introduce a $2-billion tax cut just to give
them a punchline for an attack ad. Probably.
But there are plenty of other reasons for
Harper to want to bring the conversation
back to lower taxes the one topic on
which polls suggest he has a commanding
lead over his rivals.
Elsewhere, the outlook is gloomy. The
New Democrats have just released an
excoriating ad that belies their reputation
as namby-pamby perennial losers a
rogues gallery video of Conservative
corruption and mismanagement that
details the various government scandals
involving breach of trust, misleading
voters, illegal campaigning, bribery and
election fraud. Have you had enough? it
asks.
The Conservatives have been serial breakers
of the 11th political commandment
thou shalt not get caught. If ethics is the
battleground for this election, they will
soon form a small cluster sitting next to
Elizabeth May, next to the interpreters box
in the House of Commons.
But theyre not dead yet, and if they can
turn the conversation to pocket-book issues
they may reverse the tide of change.
People love low taxes, said one senior
Conservative, knowingly.

Release of man from Britain detained in Ethiopia demanded by UN


past year in an undisclosed location, and
has been prevented from having contact
with a lawyer, his family and British
consular officials.
The Ethiopian authorities have aired
several videos of Mr Tsege in detention in
which he appears gaunt and disoriented,
sparking fears that he is being tortured.
Mr Tsege has not been informed of any
charges against him in the year since he
was rendered, but appears to face a death
sentence handed down in absentia in 2009
in relation to his political activities.

A new opinion from experts at the UN


Human Rights Council orders the Ethiopian
government to release and compensate
Andargachew Andy Tsege, from London,
who was abducted at a Yemeni airport and
rendered to Ethiopia in June 2014.
Mr Tsege a prominent critic of rights
abuses in Ethiopia has been held for the

The opinion of the Human Rights Council


experts finds that Mr Tsege is being
detained on the basis of his political
convictions and should be freed without
delay. It adds there is reliable evidence
that he is being physically abused, and that
his rendition to Ethiopia involved several
violations of international law.
The intervention follows the publication
of a recent letter to Ethiopian diplomats
from the UNs human rights Special
Rapporteurs, in which they expressed
grave concern over Mr Tseges rendition
and torture.
Though the UK Foreign Secretary, Philip

Addis Ababa: Deals at high levels


that dont deliver for the people

Hammond, said recently that Mr Tseges


detention risked undermining the UKs
relationship with Ethiopia, he has thus far
failed to ask for Mr Tseges return, instead
focusing (unsuccessfully) on securing
consular access and due process. (http://
www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/21578)

Andy Tsege was forcibly taken to Ethiopia,


in a kidnapping operation that UK officials
admit was unlawful. Sentenced to death
in absentia for the crime of his political
opinions, he has now been held in solitary
confinement itself a form of torture for
13 months.

However, internal Foreign Office emails


recently obtained by the human rights
organisation Reprieve which is assisting
Mr Tseges family show UK diplomats
privately discussing how Mr Tsege faces a
real risk of torture, and saying no legal
basis has been provided for his detention.
More recent correspondence reveals a
Foreign Office view that the Ethiopian
government is being obdurate.

"He has been denied proper consular


access, interrogated for months on end,
paraded on Ethiopian State television, and
refused any meaningful contact with the
outside world or his family in London.
The UN is right to be taking action and
demanding Andys immediate release from
his unlawful detention.

Several MPs have raised Mr Tseges case


in Parliament over the past few days, with
one asking what steps the Government
plans to take to ensure Mr Tseges return
home.
Maya Foa, head of the death penalty team at
Reprieve, said: Its been over a year since

"The UKs refusal to do the same is an


unacceptable abdication of responsibility
to one of its citizens. Philip Hammond
should do whats right for this British
father of three, and request his release
immediately.

Donne Cameron [VSO]
The Addis deal is looking likely to disappoint many of us, because rich
countries are pushing to be left off the hook, writes Donne Cameron.

Donne Cameron is Global Director of


Programmes, Volunteer Service Overseas
(VSO), based in Pretoria.
This is turning out to be a big week of big
deals; first Greece, now Iran and very soon
Addis. I am writing from within a bubble,
albeit a loud bubble of bureaucracy in the
middle of downtown Addis Ababa where the
UN has chosen to host a conference about
financing the fight on global poverty. Familiar
faces from civil society in Africa and beyond
mingle with the equally familiar faces of our
Ministers for Finance at the Financing for
Development FFD3 conference. Negotiations
about what to concede and what to fight for in
a deal here happen in specially constructed bilateral booths and lengthy speeches are made
in plenary halls that distance the decision
makers from their audience. But already I
can see that the Addis deal is looking likely to
disappoint many of us.
The issues on the table here are Africas,
Asias, Latin Americas, ones you will know
only too well. Who will fund new schools and
pay for decent education and healthcare for
people living in poor countries? Who and how
will the financing be secured to make sure
women have the same rights as men? How
and when will we make sure all girls who
want to study can go to school, the farmers
who want to get their cocoa to market can do
it unimpeded and women can deliver their
babies safely?
As a South African working in the development
sector, I want to see the most ambitious deal

possible from Addis. These Ministers dont


get together very often so what they decide
now will absolutely shape the way we work
for years to come.
I am hearing loud calls for Africa to become
less dependent on foreign aid and to raise
more of the funds they need for development
domestically. We absolutely want to be less
aid dependent but let us not forget that the rich
countries agreed to support us with 0.7% of
their GNI way back in the 70s and still only
6 of them have ever reached the goal. They
agreed it because it was right and fair at the
time and it is still right and fair. Aid shouldnt
become an either/or point for finance
ministers, because we will still need it to
support essential programmes that help people
live dignified lives, in fact we often need some
forms of aid to just survive. Lets not use this
as an opportunity to let rich countries off the
hook. Changing global dynamics dont make
this less necessary, as has been suggested
to me here, if anything they make it more
necessary.
Yesterday I spoke to a former Minister for
Education in Malawi. She told me that she
fears many people in her country will go
hungry this year because of the impact of
heavy flooding on this years harvest. There
is no chance their government will be in a
position to raise the funding domestically to
tackle this latest crisis and still meet their huge
education and health needs without some
external help.
Theres also lots of talk here about how

Hacking Team leak underscores complexity of regulating software


By Geoffrey King/Technology Program Coordinator

July 14, 2015, Among the 400 gigabytes


of internal documents belonging to
surveillance firm Hacking Team that were
released online this week are details of
the company's dealings with some of the
most oppressive governments in the world.
The revelations, which have generated
alarm among privacy, security, and human
rights advocates, have also fueled debate
around the esoteric but important topic
of government controls on the export of
powerful software that can secretly infiltrate
and seize control of targeted computers.

at the leading edge of applied research.


One place where this experimentation takes
place is within intelligence agencies; some
takes place at for-profit spyware companies
such as Hacking Team. A great deal of
security research also takes place inside
academic institutions, at antivirus and
other security firms, and on the initiative of
independent technologists. Often the initial
research looks very similar across different
types of actors -- it is what one does with
a discovery that dictates its use as a sword
or a shield.

According to the hacked files, Hacking


Team's clients include government agencies
in Russia, Ethiopia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain,
Kazakhstan, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Sudan
and other states known to spy on, jail,
and murder journalists. They also include
agencies in more open states such as the
U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation,
which has spent nearly $775,000 on
Hacking Team tools since 2011, according
to an analysis of the documents by Wired.

In an age of proliferating technological


threats, sound security research is vital
to the free flow of news, other forms of
research, and even the world economy.
Regulation that fails to take this into
account serves to introduce and perpetuate
vulnerabilities into the systems on which
many journalists stake their lives.

In addition to other capabilities, Hacking


Team's exploits can be used to intercept
information before it is encrypted for
transmission, capture passwords typed
into a Web browser, and activate a target's
microphone and camera, according to a
February 2014 report on the targeting of
Ethiopian journalists by researchers at
Citizen Lab, a project of the Munk School
of International Affairs at the University
of Toronto. And in addition to delivering
attacks through traditional computers,
Hacking Team has also explored
surveillance apps for mobile devices that
can be deployed through the Google Play
and Apple stores, according to Forbes.
Given the power of the spy tools being
developed by Hacking Team and rivals
such as Gamma International -- and in
light of both companies' lists of dubious
clients -- the Hacking Team disclosures
have invigorated public discussion
about government controls on exporting
technologies designed to exploit and record
all manner of private data.
While it might be tempting to
wholeheartedly embrace such regulations,
drafting them to be effective and sufficiently
narrow is a problem that vexes many of the
most sophisticated thinkers on these issues,
in part because of the ever-changing nature
of technology.
Poorly constructed rules can make it difficult
for journalists to access communications
mechanisms, antivirus software and
circumvention tools, leading to tragic
results such as exposing Syrian activists to
surveillance by the Assad regime. Although
the Obama Administration has sought to
liberalize the rules on export of so-called
"dual use" technologies, companies have
historically been slow to embrace the
risk associated with violating U.S. law.
Combined with a patchwork of countryspecific regulations, and the fact that other
countries have their own controls, the
situation is not one of clarity.
It can be especially difficult to draw up
workable language to regulate technology

One regulatory mechanism that seeks to


draw the lines somewhat carefully is the
multilateral Wassenaar Arrangement, an
export control agreement established in
1996 to voluntarily regulate arms exports.
Wassenaar was modified in December
2014 to add two additional classes of
exports to its list of controlled items:
intrusion software and Internet protocol
(IP) network surveillance systems. As
Stanford Center for Internet and Society
Director Jennifer Granick and Stanford
researcher Mailyn Fidler pointed out in a
post for Just Security in January, "Whether
the recent Wassenaar amendments draw
the line well remains up for debate ... The
newly introduced definitions of restricted
software, particularly of intrusion software,
could be interpreted to include an overly
wide range of legitimately traded and used
network security tools," including autoupdaters and anti-virus software.
The risk of bad policy is not just
theoretical. In May, the U.S. Department
of Commerce published its own proposed
implementation of the new Wassenaar
rules that Nate Cardozo and Eva Galperin
of the Electronic Frontier Foundation have
called a "an overly broad set of controls"
and a "disaster." (Formal comments on the
proposed implementation may be submitted
through July 20.) And although the E.U.'s
implementation of the new Wassenaar rules
are less extreme than those proposed by
the U.S., their impact on the availability of
life-saving tools for journalists, and good
security research, remains to be seen.
Restrictions on exports of software also
have direct implications for free speech.
For example, a pair of U.S. federal appellate
court cases held at the turn of the millenium
that encryption source code is a form of
legally-protected speech protected by the
First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Regulations on other forms of security
research likely raise similar issues, and
may run into similar problems.
There are alternatives to export-based
regulations.
The first is to protect the breathing room
security researchers have to uncover

abuses and to work to improve the security


of systems by ensuring that regulations
focus on ensuring transparency and
addressing abusive practices, rather than
on regulating hard-to-define and everchanging technologies. This is critical
because, as security researcher Matthew
Garrett told a group of privacy-minded
journalists, attorneys and technologists
in San Francisco in February, "Today's
state actor [computer] attack is probably
only two or three years away from being
an organized crime attack ... at most." To
counter such threats by non-state actors
requires sound coding and design more
than it does international agreements.
Second, despite the difficulties inherent in
regulating spyware through export controls,
law and policy do have roles to play. In
2014, after the Ethiopian government
hacked an American citizen and spied on his
communications, he filed a civil lawsuit for
money damages based on the government's
specific conduct. Similarly, criminal
prosecutions are likely to be appropriate in
many cases in which malware is misused,
particularly by non-state actors but also by
government officials who act outside their
legal bounds.
But what about individuals under computerbased attack by their own governments?
There are no easy answers, and regulation
may play a role. To that extent, any possible
regulation should focus on conduct and
complicity rather than technologies,
especially when those technologies are
software-based.
Otherwise, like Hacking Team, we may
find ourselves the uncomfortable recipients

of a series of unintended consequences

important the private sector is to financing


development. I agree, we need and value
private sector investment in Africa. I work
with lots of people running their own business
and know many volunteers who share their
skills in entrepreneurship and marketing, all
of which makes a huge impact on growing
our economies and ultimately in ending
poverty. But private deals, especially by
large corporate, are not a panacea for all our
challenges and if left unmonitored, could well
perpetuate growing inequalities.
Next week, President Obama will visit
Ethiopia, it would be nice if he was able to
say that a deal was struck here this week that
will benefit the poorest citizens of the world a deal that secures the best possible financing
for people and planet for the next 15 years. I
am not sure the people negotiating beside me
are looking in their hearts and digging deeply
enough but I hope I am proved wrong.

because theres this red line that was marked

we crossed that red line, he said.
Totally absurd
Last week Mr Tesfalem was unexpectedly
released from a remand prison outside the

Its totally absurd. Our work has appeared


in newspapers, magazines.
We are only doing our jobs, he said, declining
to speculate on whether the timing of his release
was linked to a big UN development summit
being hosted in Ethiopia this week, or President
Barack Obamas visit later in the month.
Mr Tesfalem said he did not want to talk
about prison conditions, for fear of provoking
Ethiopias government, but he was motivated
to speak out on behalf of the four journalists
still in detention.
I beg all the international community, all
concerned people to push, to keep pushing
for the release of our friends.
The charges are very similar. There is no
difference between me and those guys who are
still languishing in prison, he said.
Ethiopia is a de facto one party state, after the
governing EPRDF won every parliamentary
seat in Mays election.
Although it has presided over extraordinary
economic growth, and a rapid reduction in
extreme poverty and child mortality in the
past decade, it is regularly criticised for human
rights abuses, and is often ranked as one the
worlds most censored countries.

5 Ways to Avoid Buying The


Wrong House
Mr. Gurpreet Dhillon
Sales Repesentative

Here are 5 lessons to remember to make


sure you do not make a major mistake
when buying a home:
1.
Research your seller and the
neighbourhood
Make sure you are close to public transit.
What schools are in the area and is there
a waiting list to get in? Check out the
police websites to study crime statistics in
neighbourhoods. Walk any neighbourhood
you are interested in and talk to people.
By speaking to people, you can not only
get a sense of the friendliness of the
community, but also as to whether there
are any surprises that no one is going to
advertise, such as a former grow house, or
the neighbour from hell. See if there are
any basement apartments in the area if that
is important to you as well. Ask any seller
if they have had any major floods or made
any insurance claims.
2. Find the right real estate agent for your
needs
Do not go into an open house alone,
thinking you can save commission. The
agent is working solely for the seller
and their job is to get the seller the most
money they can. While focusing on saving
a few dollars negotiating commission,
you will invariably give away important
information about yourself which will
hurt you later in the negotiations. Start
by asking family and friends for a buyer
agent referral. Then study the agents own
website. Do they offer you information that
will assist you with your search? Do they
have a team of professionals that they can
share with you? When you interview them,
ask them about their knowledge of the
area; in particular, is it known for sewage
backups, termites, flooding or mould. Ask
for their own success rate when working
with buyers, especially in bidding wars,
and then follow up by calling those buyers
yourself.
3. How much can you afford?
You should never live just to pay your
mortgage, or else the rest of your quality
of life will suffer. Meet with a mortgage
broker in advance to determine how much
you can safely borrow, based on your
income and family needs. Remember that
even if you prequalify for a mortgage, the
lender will still do an appraisal and if the
lender believes you paid more than the

house is worth, they will not give you the


full amount of the loan that you expect. So,
be very careful about stretching yourself to
the limit in any bidding war. Make sure you
have an extra 5-10% as a down payment in
reserve, just in case.
4. Choose a home inspector carefully
The home inspection is becoming even
more important as it is still one of the
only ways for a buyer to check against
unwanted surprises after closing. Again,
ask for references from any company you
are considering and call these references
yourself, especially those that bought older
homes, where problems are more likely
to occur later. There are now additional
inspections that you can do, for a fee, to
test specifically for mould or termites.
There are video cameras that can tell you
the condition of your sewage system and
scanners that can look behind walls. If
it is an older home, it is worth this extra
investment. Remember, most inspection
firms have a limitation of liability clause,
which states that they can only report on
visible defects, so if they miss something
behind the wall that costs you money later,
they are not responsible. Ask the company
if they have ever been sued by a buyer.
Consider paying for an inspection before
making any offer if you are in a bidding
war.
5. Understand the bidding war rules
This is the main reason you will overpay,
when you panic while you are caught up in
a bidding war. Find out first what the house
should sell for, as many sellers deliberately
list for a price below market value to attract
a high number of buyers. Do not tip your
hand. If you give your offer too early in the
day, the sellers agent will call everyone
immediately to try and encourage a bidding
war. Bring in your offer around 7 pm and
make the irrevocable period no more than
4 hours. Put the pressure on the seller, not
on yourself.
Instead of panicking, if you follow these
steps and buy with your head instead of
your heart, chances are youll get the house
you want at a price you can afford, with no
unwanted surprises later.

Acupuncture Points on the


Body for Weight Loss

Acupuncture Points on the Body for


Weight Loss

Acupuncturists use needles, finger pressure
or acu-tacks to stimulate points on your
body that are thought to rebalance your
natural state of health. These points are
found along 12 energy meridians mapped
out through a system called traditional
Chinese medicine. Each meridian controls
different health functions. Stimulating
points on the stomach, spleen and
conception vessel meridians can help you

lose excess weight, according to licensed


acupuncturist Almine Barton.
Stomach 36
Stimulating specific points on the stomach
meridian, which controls digestion
and appetite, can lead to weight loss,
according to acupuncture teacher Jim
Cleaver of the National College of
Natural Medicine. Stomach point 36, also
called leg three miles, sits to the outside
of your shinbone, about 5 inches below
your patella. Stimulating ST36 boosts
your body's ability to take in nutrients by
accelerating the release of hydrochloric
acid. The increase in nutrients helps you
feel satisfied and full on less food, leading
to weight loss, says Barton.
