here are some of the good things the Chavez government has accomplished: 1. a land reform program designed to assist small farmers and the landless poor 2. education is now free (right through to university level), causing a dramatic increase in grade school enrollment. 3. special banks now assist small enterprises, worker cooperatives, and farmers 4. attempts to further privatize the state-run oil industry-80 percent of which is still publicly owned 5.the government hires unemployed men, on a temporary basis, to repair streets and neglected drainage and water systems in poor neighborhoods 6.health care

By Sarah Grainger BBC News, Caracas Laughter and screams of childish delight echo through the neoclassical corridors of the Casa Amarilla or Yellow House, the headquarters of Venezuela's foreign ministry. Ministry workers duck as a bright red plastic football soars through the air of the building's historic courtyard. The atmosphere in the 19th Century palace has changed dramatically since it opened its doors to 140 men, women and children whose houses were destroyed by torrential rains and landslides late last year. Children play in the courtyard and the surrounding offices have been turned into makeshift bedrooms. Bunk beds line the walls, and lockers provide space for the few personal possessions that people were able to salvage from their homes. "The little that we had, we had to leave there, we just brought our clothes and shoes," says Ismer Astudillo, a 55-year-old grandmother who has been living in the foreign ministry for more than two months. Her family home, which she and her husband had built in the early 1980s in a suburb of Caracas, was destroyed by heavy rain at the end of November. "There was water streaming down the walls, and the force of it was astonishing," she said. As the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, expanded in the mid to late 20th Century, people flocking to the city to find work built houses wherever they could find space, often on precarious hillsides, with little consideration for safety. Torrential rains in November and December saturated the soil and caused major landslides, leaving tens of thousands homeless. The government has responded by sheltering them in an array of buildings including a shopping centre car park and the international airport. President Hugo Chavez opened the doors of his presidential palace, Miraflores, to homeless families. Dozens of ministry buildings have also been pressed into service as temporary shelters. Official visitors At the Casa Amarilla, a laundry has been set up in the car park, and women load the machines with clothes while drivers come and go on official ministry business. Families staying at the ministry are allotted tasks every day, from cleaning different parts of the building, to helping out in the industrial kitchen where all the meals are prepared. This communal lifestyle offers little privacy. Dina Gomez, her young daughter and baby share a room with six other families. "It feels like there's nowhere really quiet that you can go, especially when you have a baby," she said. But she says there are perks to living in the ministry as ministry business and official visits go on as usual. "It's exciting, we saw some Brazilian visitors the other day… it's really unforgettable," Dina says. None of the families at the ministry has any idea when they will be permanently rehoused, and some say they have been told they could be living in the Casa Amarilla for up to 18 months. Their predicament is symptomatic of the large-scale housing crisis in Caracas and other Venezuelan cities, a problem that is likely to be a key issue in the run-up to presidential elections in 2012. Squatters have tried to seize unoccupied buildings in various parts of the capital in recent weeks. President Chavez has brokered deals with several foreign governments, including Iran, Russia and Belarus, to build new housing projects but the opposition says it will be too little, too late.

damn that was bad

A Thai couple has sealed a new record for the longest kissing, after locking lips for 46 hours, 24 minutes. The Guinness World Records still have to verify the latest "kissathon" for it to become official. Husband and wife team Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat were one of 14 couples taking part in a contest in Bangkok. The pair won a diamond ring worth 50,000 baht (£1,016) and a 100,000 baht (£2,032) cash prize. The couple began smooching at 0600 local time on Sunday, and were announced the winners just before dawn on Tuesday. Contestants had to be either married or a serious couple, with a marriage certificate or letter from both parents required as proof. They were allowed to eat, drink and use the lavatory, provided they did not break their embrace. No sitting or sleeping was permitted; one woman fainted just half an hour into the competition. "We want to show that love is meaningful and powerful," said organiser Somporn Naksuetrong. "It's not easy to stand there and kiss for that long. They really have to help each other and support each other." The previous record for the longest continuous kiss of just over 32 hours was set in 2009 by a couple in Germany. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12462447

Being from Somaliland is the best thing that i could have ever, ever happened to me. I cannot see it in any other way. All of my fundamental principles that were instilled in me in my home, from my childhood, are still with me. And now, when I look at the system here and look at my position and when I look around at the values of the people and the culture and compare them with the values of where I came from--I feel so blessed to be from Somaliland.

In 2011 we will see yet more elections Niger's military men will hand over power, Ugandan leader Yoweri Museveni, now also known as M7 the rapper from Kampala, will do his thing in a February presidential poll and come April Goodluck Jonathan will put his own name to the test in the Nigerian elections. Yahya Jammeh will lead the Gambians by the hand to the polls in September (in the hope it will become a monarchy) and Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf will tell her countryfolk that she needs another term in October to completely banish the ghosts of Charles Taylors past. Joseph Kabila may want the UN mandate in the Democratic Republic Congo to expire this year so he can hold his elections in November without undue interference. To this august list of 2011 political possibilities we must add a possible divorce between President Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai in a country whose demise has long been predicted but always exaggerated. So 2011 will give us much the same as 2010 gave us, but with our glasses full of the compliments of the season, we must raise a toast to endless hope, and pray that all these elections will not be resolved by two presidents, two centers of power and a very Ivorian situation.
