Upon his release from a mental institution, Spider (Ralph Fiennes) takes up residence in a halfway house. Paranoid, quiet, and forever making notes, Spider spends much of the film remembering scenes from his youth, specifically a horrific event from his childhood that occurred after he came to believe that his father was having an affair on his mother (Miranda Ri. The psychological terror builds to a climax that challenges how much the viewer can believe Spider's recollections of the event. 9/10.

^ LOL. you'd have to admit it's funny, ma garatay? p.s - we don't debate controversial issues on this thread, so please fcuk off. i know you've developed a niche for espousing alternative pseudo-contrarian viewpoints.

this is probably the radioactive residues of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. this was washed towards the Somali shores by the rain and the wind like the tsunami of 2004. .

'Africapitalism' promises new model of African self-empowerment Continent's investors increasingly drawn to development model based on using private-sector investment to stimulate growth. For investors seeking profits, Africa is impossible to ignore. Sub-Saharan Africa has six of the world's 10 fastest-growing economies over the past decade; glossy conferences, heads of state, and private funds all tout the huge returns possible for investing money on the continent. But now key figures in the private sector are advocating new models of "philanthropic investment". "Africapitalism", as one African billionaire has called it – also known as "venture philanthropy" and "philanthro-capitalism" – combines unashamedly for-profit investment and free-market capitalism with the objective of stimulating economic development. Some proponents say that, properly handled, the model could overtake aid as the main way of alleviating poverty. "Africapitalism is the philosophy that the African private sector has the power to transform the continent through long-term investments, creating both economic prosperity and social wealth," said Tony Elumelu, the Nigerian billionaire who founded the United Bank for Africa and is now CEO of Heirs Holdings. "It is also a call to action for us Africans to take responsibility for our own development – and for non-Africans to evolve their thinking about how best to channel their efforts and investments in the region." Elumelu, who coined the phrase "Africapitalism" in 2010, is one of a growing number of philanthropists and investors using their personal wealth and business expansion to generate jobs and, they say, widespread economic benefits for African countries. "We have noticed an increase in wealthy Africans coming forward about their giving," said Mary Glanville, managing director of the London-based Institute for Philanthropy. "We have seen at first-hand the benefits of supporting, not subverting, local infrastructures that will aid local development." The institute cites the example of the Indigo Trust, which is investing in a "co-creation hub" in Nigeria to provide business support for social technology ventures. "It is a proactive provision of support activities – including advice, training, [and] mentorship – alongside which there is access to funding through Indigo's network of local and international partners," said Glanville. In May, the One Thousand and One Voices investment movement was launched. A $300m fund (£195m) offering "patient capital", the initiative is designed to avoid what it sees as the "dependency" created by philanthropy for economic development, but also the short-termism of other private equity ventures, driven simply by quick returns. "Our objectives are akin to the objectives of philanthropy – lifting millions of people out of poverty," said chief executive Hendrik Jordaan. "Philanthropy does have a role to play, for example in relieving pain and suffering where a free-market society may not have a solution, but the tool that we believe should be used for economic development is private-sector investment." The One Thousand and One Voices project – founded by brewing scion John K Coors – offers what it says is a more effective means of achieving development objectives. It has attracted some of the world's richest families, who feel that years of philanthropy have failed to achieve their aims. "The families we are seeing are yearning for a model that can demonstrate results, and these investments – done properly – are proven to have the most positive long-term impact," said Jordaan. "We intend for this movement to unlock not just these families' financial capital, but their intellectual and relational capital that is so powerful, and could be harmonised and unleashed for good." Claims that private-sector investment can really solve Africa's problems are not without controversy, however. "The idea that private-sector investment is good and aid is bad, as some advocates of this theory have said, is completely ahistorical," said Duncan Green, senior strategic adviser at Oxfam. "If you look at any other country that's developed, it's involved a relationship between the private sector and state. "I think that this is really about a gut feeling that a lot of Africans are sick of hearing themselves described as victims, with which I completely sympathise. It's true that there is a dynamic African private sector that plays an absolutely central role. But the view that aid drives out investment is not accurate – relative to the private sector, aid money is actually really small." The new breed of investors feel that aid flows perpetuate the inaccurate notion that Africans are dependent on outside help, whereas their approach is one of African self-empowerment. But the involvement of wealthy investors in the development debate has increasingly blurred the lines between private investment and philanthropy. In May, fashion designer Ozwald Boateng asked African philanthropists to help raise $400m to kickstart $68bn of Africa's infrastructure development.Boateng, who created the Made in Africa Foundation based on a mantra of "understanding what Africa can do for itself", also hopes to create "diaspora bonds" that would allow Africans overseas to invest in road, railway, port and power projects. "This is unequivocally the new trend in development," said Jordaan. "We are seeing it every day, everywhere." ----- http://m.guardian.co.uk/global-development/2013/jun/26/africapitalism-african-self-empowerment?utm_content=bufferf7fbb&utm_source=buffer&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Buffer#story ---- interesting.

Language and close cultural identity does not make people a nation or a state. If that was the case The Belgium and the Dutch would have been united. If that was the case the 22 Arab nations would have been one country. If that was the case the Tigrinya speaking people on both side of the mereb river Eritrea Ethiopia would be one country. If that was the case Kosovo and Albania Ethnic Albanians would be one country.If that was the case new zealand and australia would have been united. The fact is that there are far more things that divides us than unites us. When it comes to politics when it comes to history when it comes to culture when it comes to ethics when it comes to Political cultural the Somali Kenyans the way they view Somalia is not the same the way you view Somalia or the way the Somali speaking Djiboutians view Somalia is not the same way you view it. Clearly we are not the same people as the way you wish us to be but there are are some similarities but we do not share a nation nor a nationality. There is one thing we agree on is that we share the same language but language is not enough to unite. By the way for many particularly Koonfurians unionism for them it means expansion subjugation, and that shit is not going to fly. Somali speaking people agree that they do not share the same interests in the horn that is a fact and you have to deal with that. Because these are the facts on the ground, we do not even have the same independence day. +1

THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF TROLLING AND WHY THEY ARE SO EFFECTIVE 1. Digressing from the topic at hand, especially onto sensitive topics. Not necessarily overtly argumentative, this tactic frustrates its targets with its pointlessness and circularity. Digression onto sensitive topics triggers the strongest reactions. 2. Hypocriticising, especially for a fault that the critic then displays him/herself. A simple tactic, often this is pedantic criticism of grammar, spelling or punctuation in a post which itself contains proof-reading errors to provoke exasperated responses from others. 3. Antipathising, by taking up an alienating position by asking pseudo-naive questions, for example. This tactic is heavily reliant on deceiving the group it is aimed at and covertly manipulates egos, sensitivities, morals and feelings of guilt, usually to trigger emotional responses. It can also create moral dilemmas. 4. Endangering others by giving dangerous advice such as encouraging risky behaviour. A trolling strategy designed to masquerade as help or advice while actually causing harm and/or forcing others to respond to prevent harm. It relies on the target’s social responsibility and moral obligation. 5. Shocking others by being insensitive about sensitive topics or explicit about taboo topics. This appears to succeed mainly due to the strength of feeling provoked by the deeply personal and extraordinarily hurtful nature of the troll’s insensitivity. It triggers a desire to retaliate that is stronger than the desire to deny the troll the satisfaction of a response. 6. Aggressing others by insulting, threatening, or otherwise plainly attacking them without adequate provocation. This is open and deliberate aggression without any clear justification with the aim of antagonising its target into retaliating. 7. Crossposting - sending the same offensive or provocative message to multiple groups then waiting for the response. The message sent by the troll in this tactic is totally off topic and irrelevant. This deliberately careless ‘spamming’ tactic can result in potentially thousands of users being inundated with unwanted or irrelevant messages. ---- kulaaha......''Trolls operate out of a feeling of power, amusement, boredom and revenge and thrive on the anonymity which the internet provides.....'' kulaaha again....''trolls range from deliberately digressing from a subject to focus on a more sensitive topic to provoke reaction to endangering others by giving advice, perhaps to cause harm or force others to respond to prevent harm.'' kulaaha Dr Hardaker ......''an incredible amount of time and strategy can be involved in trolling, as my research into the techniques they use highlights.' new research published in latest edition of the Journal of Language, Aggression and Conflict.
