Even seeing these events skyrocketing our days, denying Jesus's return is very soon to come is not reasonable. God predicts these in the Bible 1. FALSE PROPHETS AND CHRISTS Matthew 24:5 "For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and will mislead many." Matthew 24:11 "And many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many." 2. WARS Matthew 24:6 "And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end." Rumors of wars in all areas of the world now occur frequently thanks to instant media coverage and the availability of a multitude of 24-hour news sources. Matthew 24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes." More people have been killed in warfare in this century than at any other time in history. As the death toll rises in the Middle East, more and more countries work feverishly to develop devastating weapons of mass destruction. Add to that the expanding threat of terrorism and unpredictable dictators such as Saddam Hussein, and the potential for the outbreak of war exists in nations, kingdoms and places across the globe. 3. FAMINES Matthew 24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes." As white, Christian farmers are driven out of Zimbabwe in increasing numbers, and foreigners move in to replace life-sustaining crops with poppies that now supply 25% of the worlds drugs, famine spreads across the African continent. The undernourished are not limited to Africa, however. A large portion of the worlds 5 billion people suffers from a shortage of food. 4. EARTHQUAKES Matthew 24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes." The number and intensity of earthquakes this century is at a level higher than any other time in history. A staggering number of seismic events occur around the world daily. The earthquake seismic monitor IRIS shows all major earthquakes for the last year. Indicated by yellow and red circles, the seismic events of the last 15 days provides strong evidence of the fulfillment of Matthew 24:7 in our day. By contrast, in the years from 1890 to 1900 there was only one major earthquake in the world. 5. TRIBULATIONS Matthew 24:8-9 "But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of my name." 6. THE GOSPEL WILL BE PREACHED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come." This prophecy has already been fulfilled through television, radio, missionaries, the translation of the Bible into many languages, and the internet. People all over the world now hear the message of Christ from missionaries who have the means to travel the globe, and via technology that allows us to communicate with people on the other side of the world right from our own homes, churches and offices. TWO CHARACTERISTICS OF THE END OF THE AGE FROM THE APOSTLE PAUL 1. GODLESSNESS IN THE LAST DAYS II Timothy 3:1-5,7 "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." 2. APOSTASY (FALLING AWAY FROM THE FAITH) I Timothy 4:1-3 "But the spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons. By means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth."

Zimbabwean court officials say a Swiss tourist has been fined $200 for insulting President Robert Mugabe. Thomas Fischer, of Altnau, Switzerland, was convicted by a court in northwestern Zimbabwe. Prosecutors alleged that, during a delay in border formalities, Fischer said Mugabe "knew how to screw people, especially foreigners". Insulting Mugabe is an offence under sweeping security laws and prosecutions are common. Earlier this year, a salesman spent two months in jail after satirical cartoons, depicting a naked, skeletal Mugabe, were found on his cellphone.

[Group A] A battle between India and England Group A clearly looks a clear cut battle between a resurgent English team packed with T 20 specialists and an Indian team who look very strong in batting.Unless the minnows Afghanistan upsets one of the big two, all eyes will be on the India vs England battle scheduled to be on Sunday, September 23 at the R.Premadasa stadium. India's biggest trump card will be the free flowing Yuvraj Singh who makes an emotional comeback to the team after recovering from lung cancer [Group B ] Windies, Aussies face an impressive Irish side One would feel that Group B looks a two horse race but Ireland can always come up with surprises as they did in the ICC World cup 2011 when they scored a shocking victory over England. Ireland will be banking on the O'Brien brothers - Kevin and Niall, Alex Cusack, skipper Porterfield and Ed Joyce to fire. West Indies probably have got one of the best squads in terms of all three aspects of batting,bowling and fielding.The batting has plenty of fire power with the most brutal hitter in the modern game Chris Gayle leading the away along with all rounders Kireon Pollard,Andre Russel and Dwayne Bravo all capable of clearing the boundary ropes with ease.Their bowling ,packed with variety is led by "mystery man" Sunil Narine in the spin attack while Fidel Edwards and Ravi Rampaul will spearhead the pace attack. Australia are coming off from a poor T 20 series against Pakistan and will be rearing to do well as always. [Group C ] Sri Lanka face stiff competition from Saffers One of the favorites for the title the Lankan Lions will be facing an extremely talented South African side determined to let go of their "CHOKER" tag in World cups. As skipper Jayawrdena pointed out, Sri Lanka's strength will rely on the their all rounders and the bowling attack filled with variety and skill. South Africa led by the super consistent AB De Villiers have a superb outfit this time around. The batting will be bolstered by the big hitting Richard Levi, the elegant Hashim Amla, Mr Consistent Jaques Kallis and skipper De Villiers. Saffers have a brilliant bowling unit spearheaded by the world's best fast bowler in recent times - Dale Steyn. South Africa also will be a treat to watch on the field with some of world's best fielders in their stock namely De Villers, Duminy and Du Plesis. Zimbabwe can surprise both Sri Lanka and South Africa but they have to get their batting act together. [Group D ] The Group Of Death. With unpredictability personified - this is the group that will create a lot of interest and upsets. The New Zealanders have some handy T 20 players in their ranks and they always do well in World cups. Pakistan despite having an extremely talented T 20 squad are very unpredictable and Bangladesh can down any big nation on their day. The Kiwis will expect their star batsmen, Brendon Mcculum and skipper Ross Taylor to score big while the man mountain Jacob Oram who had a fantastic SLPL 2012 will be hoping to shine both with bat and ball. The Pakistanis have one of the most lethal bowling attacks in the tournament with world's top T 20 bowler Saeed Ajmal leading the way along with Umar Gul,Sohail Tanvir and Shahid Afridi completing a world class attack. Most of the Kiwi and Pakistani players featured in the SLPL 2012 and will have a fair idea on how the wickets behave. The Bangla boys will rely a lot on their spin bowlers to curtail teams down.(s)

POWER MOVES. Zimbabwean-Born Businessman Commits $6.4 Million to Send 40 African Students to Morehouse. “I expect Morehouse to help me become the agent of positive change in the community and in people’s lives,” said Abel Gumbo. " Nigena Hamim knew exactly why he wanted to leave the African nation of Burundi and come to the United States to attend Morehouse College. “I expect Morehouse to help me become the agent of positive change in the community and in people’s lives,” said Abel Gumbo. " “I have a dream of fighting ethnic divisions in my country and I am encouraged to realize my vision…After all, I believe that I was born at a time like this to serve and develop my community.” Zimbabwean-born businessman and philanthropist Strive Masiyiwa is helping to make Hamim’s dream a reality. Hamim is one of 10 students – two from Burundi and eight from Zimbabwe – who will be attending Morehouse on full, four-year scholarships, beginning this fall. They are the first class of the new Ambassador Andrew Young International Scholars program. Masiyiwa, founder and chairman of Econet Wireless, wants African students to earn a world-class education that they can take home with them after graduation. Forty African students in all – representing an investment of $6.4 million – will go through the program. Masiyiwa believes Morehouse and Atlanta, the center of the civil rights movement with leaders such as Ambassador Andrew Young, will be the perfect place for the students to develop. “For us, the civil rights movement and our fight against colonialism was almost synonymous,” he said. “We knew people like Ambassador Young and Martin Luther King Jr. I remember reading about King and his life, and of course I got to know about Morehouse and the fact that he had been here and (HBCUs) were very proud institutions. So I got to know about Morehouse fairly early and it really resonated in the struggle that we were involved in. “What I want to see coming from the student who comes out of the Morehouse system is a much more confident, self-assured, more complete young man who is not struggling to find out who he is in the world,” he said. The 10 students, some of the top students in their countries, were chosen from a larger pool of 20 young men, chosen by Capernaum Trust, the education arm of Masiyiwa’s Higher Life Foundation. “Mr. Masiyiwa and his wife really have a heart for seeing talented students who have leadership potential go get the best education in the world and then come back to Africa to lead the kind of changes they want to see on the African continent,” said Philip Howard ’87, vice president for Institutional Advancement. “They hope the young men will bring the kinds of 21st -century management, leadership, social justice, civic engagement, all those things Morehouse provides, back to the continent to lead Africa into the 21st century.” Howard; William Bynum, vice president for Student Services; and Kevin Williams ’85, dean of Admissions, flew to Zimbabwe to interview the 20 students in June. Ten were chosen, though the other 10 received scholarships to a South African university. “All of them, without fail, talked about returning home to do something related to their fields to improve the conditions of their fellow countrymen,” said Bynum. “I’m very excited about these young men. They are academically talented, driven, and once they make that cultural adjustment, the sky’s the limit on what they can achieve.” The students arrive in Atlanta on Aug. 5, four days before New Student Orientation so they can adjust to their new surroundings. All will have American roommates in the College’s Dubois International House residence hall. Spelman College officials will observe the Morehouse program this year as Masiyiwa will send 10 female students to Spelman next year. For now, the 10 young Africans are ready to take advantage of their time at Morehouse. “I expect Morehouse to help me become the agent of positive change in the community and in people’s lives,” said Abel Gumbo.

Steenbok ♥ The steenbok, (Raphicerus campestris), is a common small antelope of southern and eastern Africa. It is sometimes known as the steinbuck or steinbok. Steenbok resemble small Oribi, standing 45–60 cm at the shoulder. Their pelage (coat) is any shade from fawn to rufous, typically rather orange. The underside, including chin and throat, is white, as is the ring around the eye. Ears are large with "finger-marks" on the inside. Males carry straight, smooth, parallel horns 7–19 cm long (see image left). There is a black crescent-shape between the ears, a long black bridge to the glossy black nose, and a black circular scent-gland in front of the eye. The tail is not usually visible, being only 4–6 cm long. There are two distinct clusters in steenbok distribution. In East Africa, it occurs in central and southern Kenya and Tanzania. It was formerly widespread in Uganda, but is now possibly extinct there. In southern Africa, it occurs in Angola, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe and probably Lesotho.
All Animals Are Amazing!! ♥

That's the way it is.
THE DEADLY RELATION BETWEEN AFRIKA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD IN PARTICULAR THE WEST. By Nimba Mhaat Tiannimbo d’Eburnie. NuKlee News Wire. This image here really speaks volume. We see here a turn over oil-loaded truck and the cars are around it and pumping the oil/fuel out of this truck. That’s exactly the situation Africa and African people are facing with the rest of the world in particular the Western world. Africa for close to 600 years has been the meat and drink of the West. To justify their demoniac action and to try at the best to hide their evil nature, the West has always developed thesis based upon lie,propaganda,illusion by reinforcing their racist perceptions of “superiority” and without them( the Westerners),the African people will be living in the “darkness”. But the reality is that Africa is the epicenter of the world. The West needs more Africa than Africa needs the world. Curiously the people who are pretending that African people need them more,are the ones who have always made the move toward Africa. One troublesome fact is that the West in its strategy to invade Africa, has been using one-dimensional view of negatively portraying Africa with racist perceptions such as corrupt-governments which in reality they are the main agents of the corruption,racist perception HIV epidemic in African/”Black” people which in reality they( Westerners) are the manufacturers of these gems in the lab against us .Another racist perception of the Western world toward Africa are famine and drought ravaging a huge area of Africa which in reality the West is behind the confiscation of vast piece of rich lands to cultivate foods that will be for the most part exported to Europe,Asia and Middle region. Why is that Africa the supposedly “cursed”, “poor” continent has been and still is the “lust”, longing for the West? What the Western countries: US,European Union and others are coming to seek in Africa at the current days? Is that for the pleasure to wander through Africa and “save” the African people from famine, diseases? And if African/ “ Black” people were so unhealthy, full of diseases, why the “White” people need them as their slaves to go work for nothing in the “new world” so-called “ America” after Christopher Colombus “discovered “ it? The reality is the West by nature evil has been living off Africa and continue to do so with the collaboration of some low-class African people. The West has “strategic” business and defense interests in the African’s vast mineral deposit countries such as Congo,Guinea-Conakry,Zimbabwe by keeping their attack-dogs( their puppets) in the region at the exception of Zimbabwe to facilitate the swallowing of these minerals. The Western countries by the name of “investment”/ “investor” signed some lopsided contracts with their pawn African governments in place where for the most part these Western multinational corporations are the ones which dictate the terms of “trade agreements” . When some African governments that have the courage to engage in a win-win deals,these western companies always try to outmaneuver these governments in the negotiations just to have the big share from our vast resources that our ancestors left us. Africa is the richest land on earth. Africa possesses 95% of the whole mineral resources. Africa possesses the vast majority of rich soils where 100% of all the flora and fauna are located. Everything you name it, Africa has it and the whole world want everything in Africa.Why the West, this “civilized” , “developed” region,to maintain its looting,neo-colonialism habits,its pursue of acquisition of materials,has to once again gut Africa? The African people must understand that the “poverty” that they are in and the West is talking about is not accidental,but rather designed by the same people: European people. As says an African proverb: “ No matter how long the night will last, the dawn will always appear and let the sun shines”. That’s to say, speaking about this fallen loaded-oil truck which represents Africa,will be turned up on its wheels,be recharged and continues its journey of progress.And this time will be plenty of trucks full of energetic materials belonged to African people and these parasite cars that were pumping the oil out of the fallen trucks won’t have any more the opportunity to do so. So, African/Kemet/Moor brothers and sisters, all the evidence are around us and that’s nobody loves us except what we have in our land and that’s why they continue to create division among us to devitalize us because the enemy knows that when we are truly unify,nobody can stop us. That’s why we have to strengthen our instrument which is African Union in order to make Africa stronger.Yes,this truck will be repaired and it will hit the road again.

TAMIM HAILS TEAM SPIRIT Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal believes his side is in good shape going into the ICC World Twenty20. The left-hander thinks the squad’s solid preparation will boost their chances of progressing when the tournament gets underway. Tamim said: “I am very hopeful. We have really gelled as a unit and we have been playing a lot of Twenty20 matches. I cannot complain about preparation. The team spirit is excellent and everyone is helping each other. If we can take that camaraderie on to the field and perform to the level we are capable of then I see no reason why we should not get our desired result.” The big-hitting batsman featured in last month’s Sri Lanka Premier League (SLPL) - an experience he believes will stand him in good stead at the ICC World T20. Tamin said: “I believe I am much better prepared. I have played over 20 matches in the Twenty20 format during the last few months and I definitely have a fair idea of what is required. The best thing is that I have tasted different conditions and playing in Sri Lanka (in the SLPL) was definitely good experience ahead of this competition. “I think it has raised my confidence level and that of my teammates who played in the competition,” he added. “We have a better understanding of Sri Lankan conditions and know what to expect. It was a well-run tournament and I am happy for the experience.” Bangladesh gave their prospects a further fillip when they defeated Zimbabwe by five wickets in a warm-up match on Saturday. - Tamim Iqbal in press conference 15 September 2012 - 03:50pm IST

Interesting take on American politics from - of all places - Pravda... "American Capitalism Gone With A Whimper" It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people. True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists. Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters. First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas than the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a Burger King burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish. Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America. The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Weimar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe. These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, losses, and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them? These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties, and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more than a whimper to their masters. Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motors) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self-given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions. So it should be no surprise that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, and so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride. Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "free man" whimper. So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance, and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Frank, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive. The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left. The proud American will go down into his slavery without a fight, beating his chest, and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker. * * * Stanislav Mishin© 1999-2009... PRAVDA.Ru . When reproducing our materials in whole or in part, hyperlink to PRAVDA.Ru should be made.

The Gleaner: Don't be like Jamaicans - Mugabe The Gleaner, Kingston September 9, 2012 Zimbabwe's president reportedly labels J'can men as drunkards always high on the weed A media entity in Zimbabwe has reported that the country's president, Robert Mugabe, has taken an unprovoked swipe at Jamaica and, in particular, Jamaican men. In an online article posted last Friday on the website of Nehanda Radio, a Zimbabwean radio station, Mugabe, who was conferred with the Order of Jamaica during a state visit to the island in 1996, is quoted as labelling Jamaican men as drunkards who are perennially high on marijuana. According to the report, the controversial Mugabe made the comments during a 'distinguished lecture' at a university function dubbed 'Research and Intellectual Expo 2012'. The Nehanda Radio story speculated that the 88-year-old Zimbabwean strongman may have stoked a diplomatic tiff with Jamaica by describing the island as "a country of marijuana smokers, where women are now taking charge since men are always sloshed (drunk)". According to the article, Mugabe, who neither smokes nor drinks alcohol, urged Zimbabweans never to follow in the footsteps of Jamaicans, whose influence on the country is all too pervasive. FREE TO LIGHT UP Even though marijuana is illegal in Jamaica, the Nehanda Radio reported that Mugabe said that Jamaicans are free to light up spliffs. "In Jamaica, they have freedom to smoke mbanje, varume vanogara vakadhakwa (men are always drunk) and universities are full of women," the article reports Mugabe as saying. "The men want to sing and do not go to colleges vamwe vanobva vamonwa musoro (some are dreadlocked). Let us not go there," Mugabe is quoted as saying. The article also noted that "the Zimbabwean leader, who is battling a negative international projection from Western countries over alleged human-rights abuses, said the levels of abuse of drugs in Zimbabwe are low, save for a people who he said 'drink on behalf of others'". Mugabe is also reported as urging universities to build God-fearing students. The article further noted that despite the fact that Jamaican reggae and dancehall artistes have trooped to the southern African country heaping praises on the Zanu PF leader, Mugabe is not flattered. The report stated that Mugabe's stance was shocking when held against the backdrop of "the numerous praises from Jamaican artistes such as Sizzla, Red Rat and the legendary Bob Marley, who graced the country's independence celebrations in 1980". "At the invitation of the late Zanu PF former secretary general, Edgar Tekere, the reggae godfather bankrolled his trip and left Zimbabweans awed by his song Zimbabwe," read another section of the article. "In recent years, there has been an influx of young Jamaican dancehall and reggae superstars, who have been given the red carpet by Mugabe's government and, in return, have showered praises on," said the report, which was not corroborated by any of the major international news organisations. However, some reputable international news organisations are banned from broadcasting from Zimbabwe. GOOD RELATIONSHIP Mugabe's government in Harare has always enjoyed a good relationship with Kingston following the work of then Prime Minister Michael Manley in 1979. Manley was instrumental in meetings with Joshua N'Komo and Robert Mugabe in London in a flurry of diplomatic briefings on the constitutional talks on the future of Zimbabwe and Rhodesia. During his visit to Jamaica in 1996, Mugabe was hailed as a courageous leader as he accepted the Order of Jamaica on behalf of the people of Zimbabwe. During that visit, Mugabe met with a delegation of Rastafarians in a meeting that was punctuated by prayers, chants and the blowing of horns, as he was hailed as a great leader of Africa in the tradition of National Hero Marcus Garvey. More recently, Sizzla found himself in an international controversy in 2010 when he performed at Mugabe's 86th birthday celebrations. "I see him as one of my fathers from Africa," Sizzla said of Mugabe. "He's part of my nation, the black nation. In all that he's done - whether it's good or bad - I hope and pray that it's for the betterment of the people," said Sizzla in response to his critics. Late yesterday, Foreign Affairs Minister A.J. Nicholson told The Sunday Gleaner the Government was aware of the report but not yet in a position to comment. Interesting much the same can be said here......

Steenbok ♥ The steenbok, (Raphicerus campestris), is a common small antelope of southern and eastern Africa. It is sometimes known as the steinbuck or steinbok. Steenbok resemble small Oribi, standing 45–60 cm at the shoulder. Their pelage (coat) is any shade from fawn to rufous, typically rather orange. The underside, including chin and throat, is white, as is the ring around the eye. Ears are large with "finger-marks" on the inside. Males carry straight, smooth, parallel horns 7–19 cm long (see image left). There is a black crescent-shape between the ears, a long black bridge to the glossy black nose, and a black circular scent-gland in front of the eye. The tail is not usually visible, being only 4–6 cm long. There are two distinct clusters in steenbok distribution. In East Africa, it occurs in central and southern Kenya and Tanzania. It was formerly widespread in Uganda, but is now possibly extinct there. In southern Africa, it occurs in Angola, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe and probably Lesotho.

5 negara paling murah 1. Pakistan - Walaupun negara ini dikenali kerana ketidakstabilan dari segi politik, mata wang Rupee yang rendah menyebabkan kos hidup di Pakistan amat murah. Barangan seperti petrol dan hidangan di restoran mungkin mempunyai harga sama atau lebih mahal berbanding di negara lain, tetapi apa yang murah di Pakistan adalah nilai hartanahnya yang rendah. Sebuah rumah dengan empat bilik tidur di ibu kota Karachi boleh dibeli dengan hanya RM99,000! 2. Filipina - Negara Asia ini mempunyai antara kos hidup paling rendah di dunia, dengan tambang teksi untuk perjalanan lebih 1.6 kilometer hanya RM0.60 manakala harga untuk perkhidmatan memotong rambut hanya RM2.40. Yuran di universiti tempatan untuk satu semester juga hanya RM750, menjadikan pendidikan antara yang paling murah. Dan gaji pembantu rumah untuk sebulan? RM135. 3. Argentina- Sejak beberapa tahun lalu, Argentina berhadapan dengan perubahan dramatik daripada negara paling mahal di dunia kepada negara paling mampu untuk didiami akibat krisis ekonomi yang melanda negara Amerika Selatan ini. Barangan kulit seperti jaket dan dompet boleh didapati dengan harga hanya satu pertiga daripada nilai yang dijual di negara lain. 4. Zimbabwe - Barangan di Zimbabwe adalah antara yang termurah dunia selepas sistem kewangan negara itu musnah sama sekali sehingga menyebabkan inflasi mencecah 1,000 peratus pada 2008. Nilai matawang Zimbabwe yang jatuh teruk menyebabkan barangan seperti susu hanya berharga RM2.40 seliter manakala satu kilogram daging lembu berharga RM1.80. 5. Paraguay - Negara paling murah di dunia dalam tinjaun Mercer adalah Paraguay, iaitu sebuah negara yang terletak di Amerika Selatan. Kadar sewa bulanan di pangsapuri di pusat bandar Paraguay hanya RM450 dan harga makan malam di sebuah hotel hanyalah RM15. Mengidamkan hidangan steak dan salad di restoran? Anda hanya perlu membayar RM9. Jadi anda boleh hidup seperti raja di negara ini. sumber[sinar]

Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s betrayal isn’t confined to Baganda and Acholis: It is universal. "People who stand together as one wins". by Radio Free Buganda on Sunday, 16 September 2012 at 10:58 · Museveni Messiah or Megalomaniac?Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s betrayal isn’t confined to Baganda and Acholis: It is universal. "People who stand together as one wins". by Radio Free Buganda on Sunday, 16 September 2012 at 10:58 · But what have Baganda got in return after 26 years of solid support (66 NRM current MPs out of 99)? Very little: The Kabaka is only a cultural head. Yes, Baganda got key positions in NRM government including vice presidents, prime ministers, speaker, vice chairman of NRM, deputy prime ministers, ministers and ambassadors but didn’t use their positions to extract benefits for Baganda who are getting poorer, unemployed, marginalized and increasingly rendered landless including loss of Mengo region to Greater Kampala under overall management of the president. Masaka is almost gone to refugees). It appears, like Obote did, that Museveni doesn’t need Baganda anymore and in the new cabinet he has dropped Baganda prime minister and speaker of parliament, retaining only vice president with undefined powers and therefore no influence that benefits Baganda. This is painful to read but it is true. A trusted researcher like a leader should always tell the truth, not what people want to hear for popularity, so that an appropriate solution is found. Baganda see this drastic shift as betrayal. Acholis feel the same way: cheated by Museveni. They paved the way for NRA to power by overthrowing Obote. Museveni then betrayed the Nairobi accord and “paid us back by betraying us” (Robert Gersony August 1997). "Conditions are ripe for regime change in Uganda. Opposition parties, organizations at home and abroad and disappointed NRM supporters need to come together soon under able and trusted leadership and put Uganda on the right development path by peaceful means". History lessons have shown definitively that when people are united and trust one another, regardless of their class, ideology, faith, ethnicity, age or gender, they win and when they are divided they lose. For people to come together there must be something in common – usually a problem. During the French Revolution of 1789 urban poor, hungry and unemployed, men and women joined hands with exploited peasants, parish priests, noble men like Lafayette and soldiers because they were tired of the ancient regime. They demanded liberty, equality and fraternity. During the Russian Revolution of 1917 that was preceded by the 1905 Revolution, urban poor, hungry and unemployed, men and women joined hands with peasants and soldiers because they were tired of the Romanov dynasty. Russians demanded peace, bread and land. There are plenty of examples of Africans coming together for a common cause including in Uganda itself. Here are a few examples. In 1974 Ethiopians from all walks of life were tired and removed the Emperor from power and ended the monarchy. African governments came together against the apartheid regime in South Africa. African Frontline States worked together to effect political change in Southern Africa. South Africans of all races came together under Mandela and de Klerk and hammered out a constitutional agreement. Nkomo and Mugabe of Zimbabwe came together and forced a constitutional deal on Smith. Opposition parties in Kenya that had failed to defeat KANU by campaigning separately finally joined hands under Kibaki and easily defeated KANU which subsequently collapsed. Similarly, in Zambia, opposition parties working separately had failed to unseat UNIP led by Kaunda. But under the leadership of Chiluba, they easily defeated UNIP which subsequently melted away. Ugandans at the national and regional levels have come together for a common cause and won. When Kabaka Mutesa II (RIP) was sent into exile, Baganda and the rest of Ugandans irrespective of their differences came together and demanded his return unconditionally. He returned triumphantly in 1955. During the constitutional discussions before independence there were wide differences. Delegations, however, managed to hammer out an arrangement (leaving out areas where they could not agree on for another day) that created federo for Buganda within a unitary state. The Moshi conference of 1979 brought Ugandans in the diaspora with many differences together and agreed to form a transitional government that replaced Amin government. Using Buganda as an illustration, people in Uganda regions have done well when they stand together. During the colonial period Baganda considered themselves as partners of British government, not as its subordinate agent. They refused to come under the administration of the Provincial Commissioner who was subsequently removed and replaced with a resident to give advice leaving Buganda to make its own decisions. Baganda resisted Governor Cohen on the issue of a unitary government and possibility of East African federation and secured a better deal during discussions for the 1962 constitution. In Obote’s first government, Baganda ministers in the cabinet stood together and opposed the East African political federation which Obote had agreed to in principle. However, Baganda stick together and rally around a leader that is trusted and keeps promises. It is believed Obote terminated the UPC/KY coalition when he felt he didn’t need Baganda having attained two-thirds majority in parliament. Then came the military attack on Mengo, fleeing into exile of the Kabaka and the abolition of kingdoms. Baganda felt betrayed and have made life difficult for UPC since then. Baganda contributed to conditions for the overthrow of Obote and UPC I government in 1971. Baganda trusted Amin for a while especially after the return of the late Kabaka’s body for a royal funeral. However when Amin refused to restore the monarchy, relations cooled, contributing to his fall in 1979. The return to power of Obote and UPC II in 1980 was not welcome in Buganda. Protestant, Catholic and Muslim Baganda got together and vowed to remove UPC from power. They joined hands with Museveni as Vice Chairman of NRM under Lule who became Chairman. Although there doesn’t appear to be a written agreement, there must have been a biding verbal contract between Baganda and Museveni relating such as to restoration of Kabakaship in its entirety, restoration of a federal system of government, keeping Buganda intact and returning 9000 square miles of land. Otherwise, Baganda could not have offered their territory to wage the guerrilla war from, joined the guerrilla war in such large numbers and paid dearly including in human lives to the tune of 700,000 according to some estimates. But what have Baganda got in return after 26 years of solid support (66 NRM current MPs out of 99)? Very little: The Kabaka is only a cultural head. Yes, Baganda got key positions in NRM government including vice presidents, prime ministers, speaker, vice chairman of NRM, deputy prime ministers, ministers and ambassadors but didn’t use their positions to extract benefits for Baganda who are getting poorer, unemployed, marginalized and increasingly rendered landless including loss of Mengo region to Greater Kampala under overall management of the president.

Museveni then betrayed the Nairobi accord and “paid us back by betraying us” (Robert Gersony August 1997). Museveni’s betrayal isn’t confined to Baganda and Acholis: It is universal. Museveni hasn’t according to my research fulfilled any of what he promised Uganda in the ten point program that endeared him to many Ugandans. For example, Museveni promised free and fair elections. We haven’t had any. He promised restoration of people’s sovereignty. He hasn’t delivered. He promised that soldiers would be professional protecting the country and citizens. It hasn’t happened. He promised that Ugandans would get their land back. It hasn’t happened. In fact Ugandans are losing more land and the prime minister is working out arrangements to transfer land from peasants to rich farmers including foreigners from Africa and beyond. He promised food and nutrition security to all Ugandans. Malnutrition is what Ugandans have got so far as food is being exported to earn foreign exchange to cater for interests of non-food producers (On land ownership and nutrition security Britain must be commended for leaving land in Uganda hands and developing fisheries for affordable source of protein by Uganda consumers). Museveni promised industries to reduce export of raw materials, create jobs and increase value added. Uganda has instead de-industrialized. Museveni promised eradication, not reduction, of poverty. Instead absolute poverty has spread and deepened. He promised every Ugandan would wear shoes: they are still a scarce product after 26 years of NRM rule. We wonder what progress Museveni will report to the nation and the world on October 9, 2012. Museveni beware: Ugandans want to hear real human life outcomes not processes covering the last 50 years. Conditions are ripe for regime change in Uganda. Opposition parties, organizations at home and abroad and disappointed NRM supporters need to come together soon under able and trusted leadership and put Uganda on the right development path by peaceful means. Let me end on the issue of trust which has been raised in general and directly to me many times. For me I would trust someone who tells the truth, not what I want to hear; stands up for what he/she believes in whether it is controversial or not; a person who doesn’t flip flop; a person who keeps promises; a person who has a record of service for a reasonable period of time to judge him or her by. Unfortunately, Obote and Museveni didn’t have any prior record of public service except Amin (but Ugandans didn’t choose him) to judge them by. But someone who has worked say for twenty years or so must have a record to show whether he/she keeps promises or not. Leaders like Deng (China), Rao (India) and Adenauer (Germany) had solid record of public service to judge them by and were trusted as serious leaders particularly by the quality of members of their governments (Museveni hires his relatives without adequate education and experience or corrupt and have no dignity whatsoever) and made tremendous contributions with lasting and positive impact on human lives. All the three leaders were 70 years and above when they assumed national leadership role. They came with tremendous experiences in politics, leadership, economy and society. They had been tested and passed. That is what Uganda needs now: not those who don’t say much for fear of losing support; not those with inadequate record of public service; not those with military background because soldier presidents in Uganda have fared poorly. Uganda can’t afford another experiment. Above all, trust must be combined with other virtues including telling the truth, education, patriotism, experience, impeccable character and willingness to get to the root cause of the problem however sensitive before a solution is offered, believing in the rule of law and separation of powers among the legislative, executive and judiciary branches of government. SUMMARY RADIO FREE BUGANDA Museveni Messiah or Megalomaniac? Museveni’s betrayal isn’t confined to Baganda and Acholis: It is universal. Museveni hasn’t according to my research fulfilled any of what he promised Uganda in the ten point program that endeared him to many Ugandans. For example, Museveni promised free and fair elections. We haven’t had any. He promised restoration of people’s sovereignty. He hasn’t delivered. He promised that soldiers would be professional protecting the country and citizens. It hasn’t happened. He promised that Ugandans would get their land back. It hasn’t happened. In fact Ugandans are losing more land and the prime minister is working out arrangements to transfer land from peasants to rich farmers including foreigners from Africa and beyond. He promised food and nutrition security to all Ugandans. Malnutrition is what Ugandans have got so far as food is being exported to earn foreign exchange to cater for interests of non-food producers (On land ownership and nutrition security Britain must be commended for leaving land in Uganda hands and developing fisheries for affordable source of protein by Uganda consumers). Museveni promised industries to reduce export of raw materials, create jobs and increase value added. Uganda has instead de-industrialized. Museveni promised eradication, not reduction, of poverty. Instead absolute poverty has spread and deepened. He promised every Ugandan would wear shoes: they are still a scarce product after 26 years of NRM rule. We wonder what progress Museveni will report to the nation and the world on October 9, 2012. Museveni beware: Ugandans want to hear real human life outcomes not processes covering the last 50 years. Conditions are ripe for regime change in Uganda. Opposition parties, organizations at home and abroad and disappointed NRM supporters need to come together soon under able and trusted leadership and put Uganda on the right development path by peaceful means. But what have Baganda got in return after 26 years of solid support (66 NRM current MPs out of 99)? Very little: The Kabaka is only a cultural head. Yes, Baganda got key positions in NRM government including vice presidents, prime ministers, speaker, vice chairman of NRM, deputy prime ministers, ministers and ambassadors but didn’t use their positions to extract benefits for Baganda who are getting poorer, unemployed, marginalized and increasingly rendered landless including loss of Mengo region to Greater Kampala under overall management of the president. Masaka is almost gone to refugees). It appears, like Obote did, that Museveni doesn’t need Baganda anymore and in the new cabinet he has dropped Baganda prime minister and speaker of parliament, retaining only vice president with undefined powers and therefore no influence that benefits Baganda. This is painful to read but it is true. A trusted researcher like a leader should always tell the truth, not what people want to hear for popularity, so that an appropriate solution is found. Baganda see this drastic shift as betrayal. Acholis feel the same way: cheated by Museveni. They paved the way for NRA to power by overthrowing Obote. Museveni then betrayed the Nairobi accord and “paid us back by betraying us” (Robert Gersony August 1997). Conditions are ripe for regime change in Uganda. Opposition parties, organizations at home and abroad and disappointed NRM supporters need to come together soon under able and trusted leadership and put Uganda on the right development path by peaceful means. by Radio Free Buganda on Sunday, 16 September 2012 at 10:58 ·

Zimbabwe's Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and partner Elizabeth Macheka smile after getting married under customary law in Harare, September 15, 2012.
Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai married his fiancee Elizabeth Macheka on Saturday, despite a court ruling a Wearing a black suit, the 60-year-old leader of the Movement for Democratic Change exchanged vows with the 35-year-old bride at a colourful ceremony in a Harare stadium, presided over by a Catholic bishop and attended by around 2,000 supporters. Last year, the premier divorced Locar­dia Karimatsenga, just 12 days after the two were married at a traditional ceremony, citing pressure from her relatives. A court ruled Friday in Harare that Tsvangirai was still legally married to her and would face bigamy charges if he went ahead with his plans to tie the knot. Tsvangirai told his supporters before the ceremony that the court ruling was politically motivated. "As a party we follow the law," he said. "As a party we don't violate the law, but there are other people who would like to abuse the law for their own political acts that we reject, that we condemn." There was no signing of a marriage register on Saturday. President Robert Mugabe - who formed a coalition government with Tsvangirai in 2009 - did not attend the ceremony. After his wife, Susan, died in a car crash in 2009, Tsvangirai's love life and a string of failed relationships have come to overshadow his political career. Karimatsenga is demanding 15,000 dollars a month in maintenance from Tsvangirai, in a separate legal matter to be heard on September 21.

THE DEADLY RELATION BETWEEN AFRIKA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD IN PARTICULAR THE WEST. By Nimba Mhaat Tiannimbo d’Eburnie. NuKlee News Wire. This image here really speaks volume. We see here a turn over oil-loaded truck and the cars are around it and pumping the oil/fuel out of this truck. That’s exactly the situation Africa and African people are facing with the rest of the world in particular the Western world. Africa for close to 600 years has been the meat and drink of the West. To justify their demoniac action and to try at the best to hide their evil nature, the West has always developed thesis based upon lie,propaganda,illusion by reinforcing their racist perceptions of “superiority” and without them( the Westerners),the African people will be living in the “darkness”. But the reality is that Africa is the epicenter of the world. The West needs more Africa than Africa needs the world. Curiously the people who are pretending that African people need them more,are the ones who have always made the move toward Africa. One troublesome fact is that the West in its strategy to invade Africa, has been using one-dimensional view of negatively portraying Africa with racist perceptions such as corrupt-governments which in reality they are the main agents of the corruption,racist perception HIV epidemic in African/”Black” people which in reality they( Westerners) are the manufacturers of these gems in the lab against us .Another racist perception of the Western world toward Africa are famine and drought ravaging a huge area of Africa which in reality the West is behind the confiscation of vast piece of rich lands to cultivate foods that will be for the most part exported to Europe,Asia and Middle region. Why is that Africa the supposedly “cursed”, “poor” continent has been and still is the “lust”, longing for the West? What the Western countries: US,European Union and others are coming to seek in Africa at the current days? Is that for the pleasure to wander through Africa and “save” the African people from famine, diseases? And if African/ “ Black” people were so unhealthy, full of diseases, why the “White” people need them as their slaves to go work for nothing in the “new world” so-called “ America” after Christopher Colombus “discovered “ it? The reality is the West by nature evil has been living off Africa and continue to do so with the collaboration of some low-class African people. The West has “strategic” business and defense interests in the African’s vast mineral deposit countries such as Congo,Guinea-Conakry,Zimbabwe by keeping their attack-dogs( their puppets) in the region at the exception of Zimbabwe to facilitate the swallowing of these minerals. The Western countries by the name of “investment”/ “investor” signed some lopsided contracts with their pawn African governments in place where for the most part these Western multinational corporations are the ones which dictate the terms of “trade agreements” . When some African governments that have the courage to engage in a win-win deals,these western companies always try to outmaneuver these governments in the negotiations just to have the big share from our vast resources that our ancestors left us. Africa is the richest land on earth. Africa possesses 95% of the whole mineral resources. Africa possesses the vast majority of rich soils where 100% of all the flora and fauna are located. Everything you name it, Africa has it and the whole world want everything in Africa.Why the West, this “civilized” , “developed” region,to maintain its looting,neo-colonialism habits,its pursue of acquisition of materials,has to once again gut Africa? The African people must understand that the “poverty” that they are in and the West is talking about is not accidental,but rather designed by the same people: European people. As says an African proverb: “ No matter how long the night will last, the dawn will always appear and let the sun shines”. That’s to say, speaking about this fallen loaded-oil truck which represents Africa,will be turned up on its wheels,be recharged and continues its journey of progress.And this time will be plenty of trucks full of energetic materials belonged to African people and these parasite cars that were pumping the oil out of the fallen trucks won’t have any more the opportunity to do so. So, African/Kemet/Moor brothers and sisters, all the evidence are around us and that’s nobody loves us except what we have in our land and that’s why they continue to create division among us to devitalize us because the enemy knows that when we are truly unify,nobody can stop us. That’s why we have to strengthen our instrument which is African Union in order to make Africa stronger.Yes,this truck will be repaired and it will hit the road again.

Perspective
@[359061824150068:274:Encyclopedia of Entertainment] & @[212492995447712:274:Faceboookaholics] The boy in Zimbabwe going for shopping with the equivalent of 3 US Dollars. Worlds Poorest Country: Because of hyper inflation Zimbabwe has become the poorest country in the world. It used to one of the 10 poorest countries but the 87.9 sextillion percent inflation has left the country's economy into ruins. The inflation worrying the country since 2007 saw the government printing 100 billion dollar bills that were only good enough to buy a few eggs. In August 2008 there was even a time where the government simply decided to take 10 zeroes off of every bank note – simply because they didn’t fit very well. Just 6 months later they removed an additional 12 zeroes. The 87 sextillion percent inflation meant that throughout the year prices kept doubling every 1.1 days. In other words – when an apple would cost 1 dollars on Monday it would already cost 64 dollars on Sunday. In a month the same apple would cost just over 1 billion dollars The largest bank note that the government of Zimbabwe released was the 100 trillion dollar bill issued on January 2009. In addition to the economics problems the life expectancy of Zimbabwe is the lowest in the world - 37 years for men and 34 for women. One of the problems of the early deaths are the 21% of the population with HIV and AIDS . The health issues aren't seeing any improvement - in 2009 3 of the 4 largest hospitals and the countries only medical school were shut down.

THE DEADLY RELATION BETWEEN AFRIKA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD IN PARTICULAR THE WEST. By Nimba Mhaat Tiannimbo d’Eburnie. NuKlee News Wire. This image here really speaks volume. We see here a turn over oil-loaded truck and the cars are around it and pumping the oil/fuel out of this truck. That’s exactly the situation Africa and African people are facing with the rest of the world in particular the Western world. Africa for close to 600 years has been the meat and drink of the West. To justify their demoniac action and to try at the best to hide their evil nature, the West has always developed thesis based upon lie,propaganda,illusion by reinforcing their racist perceptions of “superiority” and without them( the Westerners),the African people will be living in the “darkness”. But the reality is that Africa is the epicenter of the world. The West needs more Africa than Africa needs the world. Curiously the people who are pretending that African people need them more,are the ones who have always made the move toward Africa. One troublesome fact is that the West in its strategy to invade Africa, has been using one-dimensional view of negatively portraying Africa with racist perceptions such as corrupt-governments which in reality they are the main agents of the corruption,racist perception HIV epidemic in African/”Black” people which in reality they( Westerners) are the manufacturers of these gems in the lab against us .Another racist perception of the Western world toward Africa are famine and drought ravaging a huge area of Africa which in reality the West is behind the confiscation of vast piece of rich lands to cultivate foods that will be for the most part exported to Europe,Asia and Middle region. Why is that Africa the supposedly “cursed”, “poor” continent has been and still is the “lust”, longing for the West? What the Western countries: US,European Union and others are coming to seek in Africa at the current days? Is that for the pleasure to wander through Africa and “save” the African people from famine, diseases? And if African/ “ Black” people were so unhealthy, full of diseases, why the “White” people need them as their slaves to go work for nothing in the “new world” so-called “ America” after Christopher Colombus “discovered “ it? The reality is the West by nature evil has been living off Africa and continue to do so with the collaboration of some low-class African people. The West has “strategic” business and defense interests in the African’s vast mineral deposit countries such as Congo,Guinea-Conakry,Zimbabwe by keeping their attack-dogs( their puppets) in the region at the exception of Zimbabwe to facilitate the swallowing of these minerals. The Western countries by the name of “investment”/ “investor” signed some lopsided contracts with their pawn African governments in place where for the most part these Western multinational corporations are the ones which dictate the terms of “trade agreements” . When some African governments that have the courage to engage in a win-win deals,these western companies always try to outmaneuver these governments in the negotiations just to have the big share from our vast resources that our ancestors left us. Africa is the richest land on earth. Africa possesses 95% of the whole mineral resources. Africa possesses the vast majority of rich soils where 100% of all the flora and fauna are located. Everything you name it, Africa has it and the whole world want everything in Africa.Why the West, this “civilized” , “developed” region,to maintain its looting,neo-colonialism habits,its pursue of acquisition of materials,has to once again gut Africa? The African people must understand that the “poverty” that they are in and the West is talking about is not accidental,but rather designed by the same people: European people. As says an African proverb: “ No matter how long the night will last, the dawn will always appear and let the sun shines”. That’s to say, speaking about this fallen loaded-oil truck which represents Africa,will be turned up on its wheels,be recharged and continues its journey of progress.And this time will be plenty of trucks full of energetic materials belonged to African people and these parasite cars that were pumping the oil out of the fallen trucks won’t have any more the opportunity to do so. So, African/Kemet/Moor brothers and sisters, all the evidence are around us and that’s nobody loves us except what we have in our land and that’s why they continue to create division among us to devitalize us because the enemy knows that when we are truly unify,nobody can stop us. That’s why we have to strengthen our instrument which is African Union in order to make Africa stronger.Yes,this truck will be repaired and it will hit the road again.
The beautiful and angelic African culture and tradition. The richness of Kemet ( Africa)

Cricket Terms - Glossaries All out when an innings is ended due to ten of the eleven batsmen on the batting side being either dismissed or unable to bat because of injury or illness. All-rounder a player adept at batting and bowling, or batting and wicket-keeping. Anchor a top-order batsman capable of batting for a long duration throughout the innings. Usually batsman playing at numbers 3 or 4 play such a role, especially if there is a batting collapse. An anchor plays defensively, and is often the top scorer in the innings. Appeal the act of a bowler or fielder shouting at the umpire to ask if his last ball took the batsman's wicket. Usually phrased in the form of howzat (how-was-that?). Back foot in a batsman's stance the back foot is the foot that is nearer to the stumps. A bowler's front foot is the last foot to contact the ground before the ball is released. The other foot is the back foot. Unless the bowler is bowling off the wrong foot the bowling foot is the back foot. Beamer a delivery that reaches the batsman at around head height without bouncing. Due to the risk of injury to the batsman, a beamer is an illegal delivery, punishable by a no ball being called. Bowling end the end of the pitch from where the bowler bowls. Buffet bowling bowling of a very poor quality, such that the batsmen is able to "help himself" to runs. Captain's Innings a high-scoring individual innings by the captain of the batting team considered to have changed the course of a match. Chinaman a left-handed bowler bowling wrist spin (left arm unorthodox). For a right-handed batsman, the ball will move from the off side to the leg side (left to right on the TV screen). Named after Ellis "Puss" Achong, a West Indian left-arm wrist-spin bowler of Chinese descent. Chuck to throw the ball instead of bowling it (i.e. by straightening the elbow during the delivery); also chucker: a bowler who chucks; and chucking: such an illegal bowling action. County cricket first-class cricket played between counties of a country (particularly England). Crease one of several lines on the pitch near the stumps (the "popping crease", the "return crease" and the "bowling crease"). Dead ball 1. the state of play in between deliveries, in which batsmen may not score runs or be given out. 2. called when a delivery bounces twice on the pitch before reaching the batsman. 3. called when the ball becomes lodged in the batsman's clothing or equipment. 4. called when the ball is (or is about to be) bowled when the batsman is not yet ready. 5. called when a bowler aborts his run up without making a delivery. Dead bat the bat when held with a light grip such that it gives when the ball strikes it, and the ball loses momentum and falls to the ground. Delivery the act of bowling the ball. Devil's number (also Dreaded number) a score of 87, regarded as unlucky in Australian cricket. According to Australian superstition, batsmen have a tendency to be dismissed for 87. The superstition is thought to originate from the fact that 87 is 13 runs short of a century. The English equivalent is Nelson. Diamond duck a dismissal (for zero) off the first ball of a team's innings (a dismissal off merely the batman's first ball is a golden duck). Also, less commonly, a dismissal for nought (zero), without having faced a ball (usually by being run out). The latter is sometimes referred to as a glass duck. In New Zealand the term for a diamond duck is a "royal golden duck". Dolly a very easy catch. Doosra a relatively new off spin delivery developed by Saqlain Mushtaq; the off spin equivalent of the googly, in that it turns the "wrong way". From the Hindi or Urdu for second or other. Duck a batsman's score of nought (zero), as in "he was out for a duck" or "she hasn't got off her duck yet". Originally called a "duck's egg" because of the "0" shape in the scorebook. Duckworth-Lewis method a mathematically based rule that derives a target score for the side batting second in a rain-affected one-day match. Fall of wicket ("FoW") the batting team's score at which a batsman gets out Fast bowling (also pace bowling) a style of bowling in which the ball is delivered at high speeds, typically over 90 mph (145 km/h). Fast bowlers also use swing. Fielder a player on the fielding side who is neither the bowler nor the wicket-keeper, in particular one who has just fielded the ball. Fifer five or more wickets taken by a bowler in an innings, considered a very good performance. Abbreviated from the usual form of writing bowling statistics, e.g. a bowler who takes 5 wickets and concedes 117 runs is said to have figures of "5 for 117". Sometimes called a "Michelle", in honour of the actress Michelle Pfeiffer. Flipper a leg spin delivery with under-spin, so it bounces lower than normal, invented by Clarrie Grimmett. Follow on the team batting second continuing for their second innings, having fallen short of the "follow on target". The definition of this target has changed over time, but is currently 200 runs behind the first teams score in a 5 day game, 150 runs in a 4 day game, 100 runs in a 3 day event and 75 in a single day. Follow through a bowler's or batsman's body actions after bowling/batting to stabilise their body. Front foot in a batsman's stance the front foot is the foot that is nearer to the bowler. A bowler's front foot is the last foot to contact the ground before the ball is released. Full toss a delivery that reaches the batsman on the full, i.e. without bouncing. Usually considered a bad delivery to bowl as the batsman has a lot of time to see the ball and play an attacking shot. Also, it does not have a chance to change direction off the ground, making it the ultimate crime for a spin or seam bowler. Gardening a batsman prodding at the pitch with his bat between deliveries, either to flatten a bump in the pitch, to soothe his own frazzled nerves or simply to waste time or upset the rhythm of the bowler. Considered facetious. Glove part of a batsman's kit worn to protect the hands from accidental injury. When a hand is in contact with the bat it is considered part of the bat and so a player can be given out caught to a ball that came off the glove hence "gloved a catch." Golden pair (also King pair) a dismissal for nought (zero) runs off the first ball faced in both innings of a two-innings match (such as a Test match or other first-class match). Good length the ideal place for a stock delivery to pitch in its trajectory from the bowler to the batsman. It makes the batsman uncertain whether to play a front-foot or back-foot shot. A good length differs from bowler to bowler, based on the type and speed of the bowler. Googly a deceptive spinning delivery by a leg spin bowler, also known (particularly in Australia) as the wrong 'un. For a right-hander bowler and a right-handed batsman, a googly will turn from the off side to the leg side. Developed by Bosanquet around 1900, and formerly called a bosie or bosey. Gouging causing intentional damage to the pitch or ball. Grafting batting defensively with strong emphasis on not getting out, often under difficult conditions. Grip the rubber casings used on the handle of the bat. The term is also used to describe how the bowler holds the ball and how the batsman holds the bat. Groundsman a person responsible for maintaining the cricket field and preparing the pitch. Gully a close fielder near the slip fielders. A fielder standing in Gully is on the imaginary straight line that extends from the corner of batter's popping crease (on the on-side) to the middle stump. Hat-trick a bowler taking a wicket off each of three consecutive deliveries that he bowls (whether in the same over or split up in two consecutive overs, or two overs in two different spells.). Hit wicket a batsman getting out by dislodging the bails of the wicket behind him either with his bat or body as he tries to play the ball. Hoodoos A bowler is said to 'have the hoodoos ' on a batsman when they have got them out many times in their career. Hook a shot, similar to a pull, but played so that the ball is struck when it is above the batsman's shoulder. "How's that?" (or "Howzat?") the cry of a fielding team when appealing, notable because an umpire is not obliged to give the batsman 'out' unless the question is asked. In-swing a delivery that curves into the batsman In-Cutter a delivery that moves into the batsman after hitting the surface. Leg before wicket (LBW) a way of dismissing the batsman. In brief, the batsman is out if, in the opinion of the umpire, the ball hits any part of the batsman's body (usually the leg) before hitting the bat and would have gone on to hit the stumps. Leg break a leg spin delivery which, for a right-hander bowler and a right-handed batsman, will turn from the leg side to the off side (usually away from the batsman). Leg bye extras taken after a delivery hits any part of the body of the batsman other than the bat or the gloved hand that holds the bat. If the batsman makes no attempt to play the ball with the bat, leg byes may not be scored. Leg cutter a break delivery bowled by a fast or medium-pace bowler with similar action to a spin bowler, but at a faster pace. The ball breaks from the leg side to the off side of the batsman. Leg side the half of the field to the rear of the batsman as he takes strike (also known as the on side). Leg spin a form of bowling in which the bowler imparts spin on the ball by turning the wrist as the ball is delivered, and for that reason also known as "wrist spin". The stock delivery for a leg spinner is a leg break; other leg spin deliveries include the googly, the top spinner, and the flipper. The term leg spinner is usually reserved for right handed bowlers who bowl in this manner. Left handers who bowl with wrist spin are known as unorthodox spinners. The unorthodox spinner's version of the googly is known as the Chinaman. Limited overs match a one-innings match where each side may only face a set number of overs. Another name for one-day cricket. Line and length bowling bowling so that a delivery pitches on a good length and just outside off stump. This forces the batsman to play a shot as the ball may hit the stumps. Loosener a poor delivery bowled at the start of a bowler's spell. Lower order the batsmen who bat at between roughly number 7 and 10 or 11 in the batting order and who are not very good at batting, being either specialist bowlers or wicket-keepers with limited batting ability. Maiden over an over in which no runs are scored off the bat, and no wides or no balls are bowled. Match fixing bribing players of one of the teams to deliberately play poorly, with the intention of cashing in on bets on the result of the game. Match referee an official whose role is to ensure that the spirit of the game is upheld. He has the power to fine players and/or teams for unethical play. Medium-pace a bowler who bowls slower than a pace bowler, but faster than a spin bowler. Speed is important to the medium-pacer, but they try and defeat the batsman with the movement of the ball, rather than the pace at which it is bowled. Medium-pacers either bowl cutters or rely on the ball to swing in the air. They usually bowl at about 55-70 mph (90-110 km/h). Middle of the bat the area of the face of the bat that imparts maximum power to a shot if that part of the bat hits the ball. Also known as the "meat" of the bat. Effectively the same as the sweet spot; however, a shot that has been "middled" usually means one that is hit with great power as well as timing. Mis-field a fielder failing to collect the ball cleanly, often fumbling the ball or dropping a catch. Negative bowling a persistent line of bowling down the leg-side of a batsman to stymie the batsman from scoring (particularly in Test matches). Nelson a score of 111, either of a team or an individual batsman, regarded by some as unlucky; the superstitious custom is for the batting team off the pitch (and umpire David Shepherd) each to take one foot off the ground. The name was coined in the mistaken belief that Lord Nelson had one eye, one arm and one leg: in fact, he had two legs. Double-Nelson is 222, etc. Nervous nineties the period of batsman's innings when his or her score is between 90 and 99. During this phase many players bat extremely cautiously in order to avoid being out before they obtain a century. Nets pitch surrounded on three sides by netting, used by for practice by batsman and bowler Nightwatchman a lower order batsman sent in when the light is dimming to play out the remaining overs of the day (in a Test Match) in order to protect more valuable batsmen. Non-striker the batsman standing at the bowling end. One-day International (ODI) a match between two national sides limited to 50 overs per innings, played over at most one day. Off side the half of the pitch furthest from the batsman's body as he takes strike - i.e. the right half for a right-handed batsman and the left for a left-hander. Off spin a form of bowling in which the bowler imparts spin on the ball with the fingers as the ball is delivered, and for that reason also known as "finger spin". The usual stock delivery for an off spinner is an off break, but other off spin deliveries includes the arm ball and the doosra. The term off spinner is usually reserved for right handed bowlers who bowl in this manner. Left handers are described as orthodox or unorthodox. On side the half of the pitch nearest the batsman's body as he takes strike i.e. the left half for a right-handed batsman and the right for a left-hander (also known as the leg side). One down a batsman who bats at #3, a crucial position in the team's batting innings. Opener 1. a batsman skilled at batting at the beginning of an innings, when the ball is new. 2. one of the bowlers who open the innings, usually the fastest bowlers in the side. Outfield the part of the field lying outside the 30 yard (27 m) circle measured from the centre of the pitch. Over the delivery of six consecutive balls by one bowler. Over the wicket a right-handed bowler bowling to the left of the stumps, and vice-versa for a left-handed bowler. Overarm the action of bowling with the arm swinging from behind the body over the head, releasing the ball on the down swing without bending the elbow. This type of bowling is the only type allowed in all official cricket matches. Compare with underarm. Overthrows also buzzers the scoring of extra runs due to an errant throw from a fielder. Occasionally used erroneously for any runs scored after a fielder mis-fields the ball. Pads protective equipment for batsmen and wicket-keepers, covering the legs. Perfume ball a bouncer on or just outside off-stump that passes within inches of the batsman's face. So called because the ball is supposedly close enough to the batsman's face that he can smell it. Pie Chucker A poor bowler, usually of slow to medium pace whose deliveries are flighted so much as to appear similar to a pie in the air. Considered easy to score off by batsmen Pinch-hitter a lower order batsman promoted up the batting order to increase the run rate. The term is borrowed from baseball. Point of release the position of the bowler at the moment when the ball is released. Powerplay Fives the two blocks of five overs in an ODI which the fielding captain must designate as being subject by fielding restrictions. This applies for a series of three ODIs between England and Australia starting on 7 July 2005 and for a 10-month trial period beginning on 31 July 2005. Pro20 South African form of twenty20 Pull a shot played to the leg side to a short-pitched delivery, between mid-wicket and backward square-leg. Quota the total number of overs (maximum 10) allotted to a bowler in an ODI match. Typically total overs in the innings divided by 5, rounded to next highest integer. Reverse Sweep a right handed batsman sweeping the ball like a left handed batsman and vice-versa. Reverse swing the art of swinging the ball contrary to how a conventionally swung ball moves in the air; i.e. movement away from the rough side. Many theories as to how this may occur. Usually happens with an older ball than conventional swing, but not always, atmospheric conditions and bowler skill also being important factors. It has been espoused that once the 'rough' side becomes extremely rough a similar effect to that of a dimpled golf ball may cause it to move more quickly through the air than the 'shiny' side of the ball. Run out dismissal by a member of the fielding side breaking the wicket while the batsman is outside his/her crease in the process of making a run. Run rate the average number of runs scored per over. Runner a player of the batting side assisting an injured batsman in running between the wickets. The runner must wear and carry the same equipment and both the injured batsman and the runner can be run out, the injured batsman having to stay in his ground. Seam bowling a bowling style which uses the uneven conditions of the ball -- specifically the raised seam -- to make it deviate upon bouncing off the pitch. Contrast with swing bowling. Selector a person who is delegated with the task of choosing players for a cricket team. Typically the term is used in the context of player selection for national, provincial and other representative teams at the professional levels of the game, where a "panel of selectors" acts under the authority of the relevant national or provincial cricket administrative body. Shooter a delivery that skids after pitching (i.e. doesn't bounce as high as would be expected), usually at a quicker pace, resulting in a batsman unable to hit the ball cleanly. Short-pitched a delivery that bounces relatively close to the bowler. The intent is to make the ball bounce well above waist height (a bouncer). A slow or low-bouncing short-pitched ball is known as a long hop. Sight-screen a large board placed behind the bowler, beyond the boundary, used to provide contrast to the ball, thereby aiding the striker in seeing the ball when it is delivered. Silly a modifier to the names of some fielding positions to denote that they are unusually close to the batsman, most often silly mid-off, silly mid-on, silly midwicket and silly point. Sledging verbal abuse in simple terms, or a psychological tactic in more complex terms. Used by cricketers both on and off the field to gain advantage of the opposition by frustrating them and breaking the concentration of the opposition. Considered in some cricketing countries to be against the spirit of the game, although occasional sledging remains common. Slip a close fielder behind the batsman, next to the wicket-keeper on the off-side. There can be as many as four slips for a faster bowler. Slog a powerful shot, usually hit in the air in an attempt to score a six, often without too much concern for proper technique. Slog overs the final 10 overs (particularly the last five) in a ODI match during which batsmen play aggressively scoring at a very high rate. Stance (also batting stance) the posture of a batsman holding his bat when facing a delivery. Sticky wicket a difficult wet pitch. Strike the position as batsman, as opposed to non striker. Often, 'Keep [the] strike', to arrange runs on the last ball of an over so as to face the first ball of the next, 'Shepherd the Strike', to keep dong this to protect a less skillfull batsman. Strike bowler an attacking bowler whose role is to take wickets rather than to restrict scoring. Usually a fast bowler or attacking spinner who bowls in short spells to attacking field settings. Strike rate 1. (batting) a percentage equal to the number of runs scored by a batsman divided by the number of balls faced. 2. (bowling) the average number of deliveries bowled before a bowler takes a wicket. Stump 1. one of the three vertical posts making up the wicket ("off stump", "middle stump" and "leg stump"); 2. a way of dismissing a batsman; or 3. ("stumps") the end of a day's play. Sundry (also extra) a run not attributed to any batsman, such as a bye, wide or no-ball. Supersub under experimental one-day international rules introduced in July 2005, any player may be substituted for the twelfth man, with the substitute able to take over the substituted players batting and bowling duties. A twelfth man used as a substitute in this way is known as the supersub. The first supersub was Vikram Solanki, named as a supersub for Simon Jones at Headingley on 7 July 2005. However, as Solanki replaced Jones after England had bowled, and England only lost one wicket in chasing down Australia's target, Solanki did not get to play any part in the game. The ICC cancelled the experiment in February 2006. Swing a bowling style usually employed by fast and medium-pace bowlers. The fielding side will polish the ball on one side of the seam only; as the innings continues, the ball will become worn on one side, but shiny on the other. When the ball is bowled with the seam upright, the air will travel faster over the shiny side than the worn side. This makes the ball swing (curve) in the air. Conventional swing would mean that the ball curves in the air away from the shiny side. (see reverse swing). Tail-ender a batsman who bats towards the end of the batting order, usually a specialist bowler or wicket-keeper with relatively poor batting skills. The last of the tail-enders are colloquially known as "rabbits". Test match a cricket match with play spread over five days with unlimited overs played between two senior international teams. Considered the highest level of the game. Third umpire an off-field umpire, equipped with a television monitor, whose assistance the two on-field umpires can seek when in doubt. Tie the (very rare) result in which the two teams' scores are equal and the team batting last is all out. Not to be confused with a draw, in which the scores are not equal. Trundler a reliable, steady medium-pace bowler who is not especially good, but is not especially bad either. Twelfth man Traditionally, the first substitute player who fields when a member of the fielding side is injured. In Test matches, twelve players are named to a team prior to the match, with the final reduction to eleven occurring immediately prior to play commencing on the first day. This gives the captain some flexibility in team selection, dependent on the conditions (e.g. a spin bowler may be named to the team, but omitted if the captain feels that the pitch is not suitable for spin bowling). Twenty20 a new, fast paced, form of cricket limited to twenty overs per innings, plus some other rules changes, specifically designed to broaden the appeal of the game. Umpire one of the two (or three) enforcers of the rules and adjudicators of play. Underarm the action of bowling with the arm swinging from behind the body in a downswing arc and then releasing the ball on the up swing without bending the elbow. This type of bowling is now illegal in formal cricket, but commonly played in informal types of cricket. Compare with overarm. Wag when tail-enders score more runs than they were expected to (the tail wagged). Wagon wheel a pie chart modelled on the cricket ground, depicting a batsman's favourite scoring areas. Wicket-keeper the player on the fielding side who stands immediately behind the batting end wicket. A specialist position, used throughout the game. Wicket-to-wicket an imaginary line connecting the two wickets. Wide a delivery that passes illegally wide of the wicket, scoring an extra for the batting side. A wide does not count as one of the six valid deliveries that must be made in each over - an extra ball must be bowled for each wide. Windy Wush when a batsman, usually a tail-ender, swings greatly and misses the ball completely. Yorker a (usually fast) delivery that is pitched very close to the batsman. The intent is for it to bounce exactly underneath his bat or on his toes, in the block hole. A perfectly-pitched fast yorker is almost impossible to keep out; a bad yorker can turn into a half-volley (too short) or a full toss (too full).

Zimbabwean Priminster Morgan Tsvangirai, left, is seen with his wife Elizabeth Macheka during a traditional wedding ceremony in Harare, Saturday, Sept. 15, 2012, despite a court ruling that canceled his marriage license on allegations that he would be committing bigamy. Tsvangirai, 60, and his bride exchanged vows and rings at a luxury convention facility in Harare but did not sign the legal marriage register. A court on Friday declared Tsvangirai already married under tribal law after seeing video footage of traditional bride price being paid last November to the family of another Zimbabwean woman. Polygamy is recognized in tribal law but not in Zimbabwe's national laws.
