 |  |  | Shamir Prepares for his African Tour By UGPulse
This is a public letter to all those who know or associate with Kimera Sengendo, AKA Shamir. If you have recently seen this man driving in Kampala in an Escalade or Mercedes, please know that this man has no right to be in these vehicles at all. He would like people to think he has acquired these vehicles through the success of his music. He would like people to see him as a rich man, who has now returned to Africa from the USA as a star. YET ALL OF THIS IS NOTHING BUT A LIE!
Those who saw him flop at Club Silk (April 29th) can judge for themselves his true talent and abilities. The music of Shamir preaches love and harmony between people. But if one judges the man by his actions, one finds a thieving, back-stabbing desperate hypocrite. The truth is that Shamir has betrayed a wonderful family that supported him and treated him like one of their own. The truth is that Shamir has been struggling with a mediocre music career for years. The truth is that he would have nothing without the generosity of those who have believed in him.
Because these good people trusted him, they entered sincerely into a business deal to sell these cars. They made themselves financially vulnerable to him and in return he has taken advantage of them. One of these family members has been stranded in Kampala for over 40 days now trying to recover what is theirs. This man has stolen the life savings of a hard-working and generous family that only ever treated him with kindness and love. Shamir? The name says: SHAM! Shamir? The name says: SHAME!

 |  |  | Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato - The HarvestPlus Reaching End-Users (REU) Project By Sylvia Magezi
The goal of REU is to identify the most cost-effective strategies for farmer adoption and consumer acceptance of conventionally bred nutrient-dense, biofortified foods. This includes identifying, and relieving, bottlenecks in the production, marketing and consumer continuum. Demonstrated success in deploying biofortified foods will be translated into "lessons learned/best practices" to be applied by HarvestPlus and other biofortification programs.
An additional goal is to identify and engage potentially important end users of transgenic crops and develop effective strategies for improving their acceptance among stakeholder populations. Developing instruments for multiplying biofortified planting materials, creating markets for biofortified seed, crops, and food products; and communicating and changing behavior at the policy, institutional, community, and individual levels are all key objectives of REU. read more HarvestPlus Reaching End Users

 |  |  | Book Review - Success is Around the Corner Written by H. E. Boney M. Katatumba By Jerry Ellis
Above all, this book is dedicated to the people I think need it most- the youths of the world. For in them lies the key to our future. Hopefully, they can adopt the philosophy I share in this book to create an even better world for all.
I have been fortunate to have travelled to over a hundred different countries as Chairman G77 CCI. It is my conclusion that the youths are basically the same the world over. Their aspirations are often ignored as they struggle to find a niche in this sometimes cold and difficult world. Against the social, educational and political imbalances of societies in which they find themselves, they battle on, ever determined to make their voices heard. - B.M. Katatumba
