The continuous bombardment and the ongoing genocide pose a significant threat to their well-being. What pains me even more is that due to the lack of medications in Gaza, my Mom, who is a type 2 Diabetis patiant and was scheduled for an urgent eye surgery, have had no access to insulin or any medical care for the past 3 months. Some of my family members sought refuge in the southernmost part of Gaza (Rafah) in tents. However, my parents, and sisters have no alternative place to stay, forced to remain in the Nusierat refugee camp, which is now the subject of continuous severe bombardment since christmas started.” Am on my knees requesting for your donations. Please help where possible.

why is your paypal account owned by a random man from nairobi, kenya? also, PAYPAL IS NOT AVAILABLE IN PALESTINE. all donation posts i've seen with paypal links have someone else hosting their paypal and sending the money with proof to a palestinian account VIA MONEY TRANSFER.

There are a LOT of these scams going around lately and it's so disgusting. It happened in 2021 and it's happening now. this is a brand new tumblr account with no photographic proof that they are from gaza, suddenly posting a paypal link and spamming people with it.

listen. if you can 1) physically prove that you are in Gaza and post ANY sort of picture of yourself showing you're a real person connected to this account, and 2) explain who the hell "Samuel Obiya" is and how he's gonna get the money to you, then I will personally donate you $100. everyone else reading this, DON'T FALL FOR THESE SCAMS! there are a lot going around right now so make sure you're donating to help actual people.

There was a time when you could count on the left to defend science with the sort of zeal that would make a religious fundamentalist blush. Scientific knowledge was once gleefully wielded to expose and mock the magical thinking of creationists, anti-vaxxers, Flat Earthers, astrologers and homoeopaths. However, this staunch commitment to scientific empiricism has recently begun to waver. It is now increasingly coming into conflict with the new tenets of the ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ (DEI) agenda.

You can see this clearly in the Biden administration’s proposed new guidelines for the US Department of Health and Human Services (HSS). As the Washington Free Beacon reports, staff working in public-health agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDA), which are overseen by the HSS, could soon be instructed to consider ‘multiple forms of evidence, such as indigenous knowledge’ when going about their duties.

Put simply, advocates of ‘indigenous knowledge’ argue that various cultures throughout history have their own ways of understanding the world. And these alternative, indigenous ‘ways of knowing’, they say, should be utilised alongside more established scientific methods in research and in policymaking.

Yes, some DEI advocates really do think that public-health bodies should seek the input of tribal elders and spiritual leaders – alongside, say, qualified physicians and epidemiologists. What’s more, they believe that racism is the only reason it has taken so long for indigenous knowledge to be utilised in this way. They argue that science is a ‘Western, colonialist structure’ that has only come to dominate our thinking thanks to white supremacy. This nefarious falsehood began in academia, with calls from activists to ‘decolonise’ science. Now it has reached the highest levels of the US government.

The Biden administration is not even the first Western government to sacrifice science to the DEI agenda. Last year, the government of New Zealand decided that science classes in schools should teach that Maori ‘ways of knowing’ have equal standing to ‘Western science’. Scientists who objected to this found themselves under investigation by the Royal Society of New Zealand. Three of them, including one of Maori descent, resigned from the society in protest.

The claim that science is ‘Western’ is absurd, of course. One of the many wonderful things about science is that it does not discriminate. Science is a universal, cross-cultural concept. It invites anyone and everyone to participate and contribute to our growing understanding of reality. Science does not care about what you look like or where you come from. All science cares about is whether your methods and conclusions are sound enough to survive scrutiny. This clearly cannot be said for indigenous knowledge.

This is why there aren’t any ‘indigenous’ ways of flying an airplane that supersede our scientific understanding of aerodynamics. Or why the NHS doesn’t offer exorcisms as part of its mental-health services. A blood test administered in a clinical setting will yield the same results whether it’s carried out in London or Nairobi – because science actually works anywhere you do it. It’s about the ‘how’, not the ‘who’.

If every single piece of scientific knowledge were erased tomorrow and we had to start all over again, we would eventually come to the same conclusions as we have today. This is not true of indigenous knowledge, because, unlike science, it is not underpinned by logic and reason.

We all know that treating indigenous knowledge as akin to scientific evidence is a bit silly. But I suspect that is probably the point. Like with trans-rights ideologues, today’s self-professed ‘anti-racists’ like to frame statements of the obvious as akin to acts of bigotry. It gives them enormous power over the rest of us. We are all essentially being dared to say that relying on indigenous knowledge is a terrible idea. Of course, if you do say this in the wrong circles, you will be accused of racism and you will be silenced.

With modern-day anti-racism, the goal is not to address actual inequalities or to improve the material wellbeing of oppressed minorities. The real aim is to tear down anything that is perceived to be ‘white’ or ‘Western’. And the fact that science is now being placed in the firing line, thanks to racial identity politics, should worry us all.

The suggestion that the gold standard of science is a uniquely white or Western standard is as ludicrous as it is racist. It perpetuates the deeply prejudiced idea that non-Western or non-white groups cannot grasp the basics of science, and therefore it would be unfair to expect them to. This is tantamount to claiming there is an innate quality possessed by white Westerners that makes them uniquely suited to the study and advancement of science. This notion would not seem out of place at a KKK rally, yet it is a depressingly common view among so-called anti-racists. This is the bigotry of low expectations.

The push by the White House to incorporate indigenous knowledge into public-health policy is unbelievably reckless. It arrives in a post-pandemic context when public trust in our scientific institutions is already at an all-time low. Surely, that trust will now only fall further. After all, how can we possibly trust that those tasked with looking after our health are doing so effectively, when their objectivity has been so clearly compromised?

Science often gets things wrong, of course. But unlike indigenous ways of knowing, science rewards you for catching errors. It incentivises the pursuit of truth over accepting received wisdom. There are no religious commandments or cultural dogmas dictating the scope of scientific investigation. Science simply finds out ‘what is’ – and to hell with any sacred cows that are slaughtered along the way.

Standards of objectivity are essential when it comes to science and public health. We should make no apologies for defending them from the encroachment of pseudoscience, whatever form it comes in.

Kenya/IMF: Align Economic Reform with Rights

(Nairobi) – The Kenyan government and International Monetary Fund should work together to ensure that the IMF program and its implementation align with human rights, Human Rights Watch said today. The focus should be on progressive revenue generation and accountability over public funds.

Following the recent nationwide protests, President William Ruto declined to sign Finance Bill 2024, which included regressive tax measures that risked undermining rights. Any alternative measures should relieve economic pressures by addressing the root causes of protesters’ anger.

“The widespread outrage sparked by proposed taxes on goods like sanitary pads and cooking oil in a country where corporate tax evasion is endemic should be a wake-up call to the Kenyan government and the IMF that they cannot sacrifice rights in the name of economic recovery,” said Sarah Saadoun, senior researcher on poverty and inequality at Human Rights Watch. “Economic sustainability can only be achieved with a new social contract that raises revenues fairly, manages them responsibly, and funds services and programs that allow everyone to realize their rights.”

Finance Bill 2024, in the context of an IMF program with Kenya, was expected to raise US$2.7 billion in additional revenues in the upcoming fiscal year, in part to meet IMF targets. The bill included several new tax provisions, such as removing exemptions from certain food items and a mobile money transfer tax, that would increase the cost of essential goods and services and fall heaviest on Kenyans with lower and middle incomes, as well as already marginalized groups such as women.

The IMF program was approved in 2021 to support Kenya’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic and global inflation, as well as devastating cycles of droughts and floods made worse by climate change. An increase in interest rates has also forced the government to spend upward of half its tax revenues to service debt.

The Kenyan government has other options to raise revenue progressively and enhance trust in the government, Human Rights Watch said. Kenya’s tax-to-GDP ratio is around 15 percent, which is the minimum threshold according to the World Bank for a viable state and economic stability.

Building Footprint Detection/Segmentation in Africa

Building footprints for Africa are mainly available via the Google Open Buildings and Microsoft Building Footprints datasets. Both are known to be of limited accuracy and hard to refresh due to the very high cost associated with VHR imagery at a continental scale. The African Building Foot-Print (ABFP) layer of Atlas AI is a low-cost alternative computed from high-resolution multispectral base-map imagery refreshed on a monthly basis.

The images showcase the results on model inference over Nairobi, Kenya. The colored heat map shows model confidence, and white polygons infused, show the corresponding findings from the Google Open Buildings dataset. Both results are superimposed on Airbus VHR imagery over the targeted area.

Note the frequency of regions in the ABFP heat map for which no white polygons are present.

Disclaimer: the ABFP is not a commercial product. It is a layer produced for research purposes only.

‘I was intrigued by how ballet, often associated with privilege, was being used as a form of self-expression in Kibera, one of the largest informal settlements in Nairobi,’ says Ugandan-born Kenya-based documentary and portrait photographer Sarah Waiswa. ‘I wanted to offer an alternative to the stereotype of the poor African child from the slum’

Petition Text:Born and raised in Kenya, Irene Gakwa emigrated to the United States in May 2019, hoping to launch a career in health care. Being the only daughter and the last born, her parents resisted their introverted daughter's plans to move to a faraway country. They worried about how she'd adjust -- she was so shy, she barely left her room in their suburban Nairobi home to go outside.

Gakwa settled first in Idaho to be near her brothers, with dreams of attending nursing school and working in a hospital. In 2020, Gakwa confided to Abatey, her sister-in-law, that she was dating Nathan Hightman, whom she met on a Craigslist forum. Irene and Nathan eventually moved in together in Meridian, and she started nursing school. In the summer of 2021, they relocated to Gillette, where she transferred schools. Gakwa's parents were not aware she was living in Gillette, Wyoming.

Irene Gakwa's last WhatsApp video call with her parents hinted that something was off. When her face appeared on the phone screen, her dad teased her that she looked hungry and tired. Her smile was more subdued and her short hair, usually braided, was rumpled. That was February 24, the last time anyone in her family saw her.

On March 20, 2022 her brothers, Chris Munga and Kennedy Wainaina, reported her missing to the Gillette Police Department. This was after Gakwa's brothers could not reach her and looked through her phone records and called a close friend she'd talked to numerous times. Her close friend is the one who informed her parents that Irene had moved to Wyoming with Nathan. However, her brothers were under the impression that they had broken up.

On the same day an officer talked to Hightman, in relation to a separate criminal case against him. Hightman told the officer he last saw Gakwa in late February, when she came home one night, packed her clothing in two plastic bags and left in a dark-colored SUV. He told police he hadn't heard from her since. He also said he withdrew money from her bank account so she would be forced to contact him if she needed money.

Hightman has not been charged in Gakwa's disappearance, but is a suspect in financial crimes against her after she went missing. Hightman transferred nearly $3,700 from Gakwa's bank account to his own and spent an additional $3,230 on her credit card. In addition, he allegedly changed her banking account password and deleted her email account after she vanished. The Gillette Police Department said it has executed approximately 24 search warrants and during one of the searches, investigators recovered a shovel and boots Hightman bought at a Walmart in late February using Gakwa's Visa card.

Despite the evidence accumulating against Hightman, the Wyoming Police refer to Hightman only as a “person of interest.” He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and was released on a $10,000 bond.

Gakwa's family is still holding out hope that somehow she'll contact them or come back home. The alternative is too hard to bear. Gakwa's 33rd birthday was in July and they held a Zoom vigil. Her friends and family shed tears and shared memories and photos of her, struggling between using past or present tense.

Irene’s father remains optimistic she'll make it home for Christmas. But most days, not so much. "I just want to know the truth. I'm still hopeful, but my hope is dwindling. She knows my number. The fact that she has not called …” Her father’s voice trails off before he can complete his sentence.

This petition calls for the concerted efforts of Gillette Police Department, the Gillette City Council,Governor Mark Gordon, Gillette WY, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kenya Embassy Washington D.C to make known the whereabouts of Ms. Irene Gakwa.

Pests can be a significant nuisance, whether in your home or business.

1. Identify the Pest Problem

Before seeking pest control services, you need to know what type of pests you're dealing with.

Licensed companies are more likely to use safe, approved chemicals and follow proper procedures, protecting your family, pets, and the environment.

4. Ask About the Company’s Experience

Experience matters when it comes to pest control. Companies that have been in the industry for several years are more likely to have dealt with a wide range of pest problems and will know how to handle your specific issue. Ask how long the company has been in business, what kind of pests they specialize in, and if they have experience with pest infestations similar to yours.

A good pest control company should also be transparent about the products they use, so you can be sure they’re compliant with health and safety standards.

Ensure that the quotes include a detailed breakdown of what’s covered, including follow-up visits if needed.

A reputable pest control service should offer guarantees for their work.

The Benefits of Arthroscopy: Faster Recovery and Less Pain

Have you been advised to undergo arthroscopic surgery to treat your orthopaedic problem? If so, you’re undoubtedly curious about what makes this process unique. In the field of joint health, arthroscopic surgery is a game-changer, not just another medical advice. Imagine having a surgery that can solve your issue with less discomfort, less invasion, and a faster recovery. Sounds good, doesn’t it? An arthroscopy may be your best option for recovering from a sports injury or persistent joint discomfort more quickly and comfortably than you might think. Arthroscopy has revolutionized the field of orthopaedic surgery, offering patients a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. This innovative technique allows the orthopaedic surgeons to diagnose and treat a wide range of joint problems with smaller incisions, resulting in faster recovery times and less postoperative pain. In this blog post Dr Ankit Dave, considered as one of the best doctors for arthroscopy surgery in Nairobi, shares the numerous benefits of arthroscopy and why it has become the preferred method for many joint procedures.

What is Arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that uses a small camera (arthroscope) and miniature surgical instruments to examine and treat problems inside a joint. The arthroscope is inserted through a small incision, providing the surgeon with a clear, magnified view of the joint’s interior on a video monitor.

Key Benefits of Arthroscopy

1. Minimally Invasive Procedure

“One of the primary advantages of arthroscopy is its minimally invasive nature”, says Dr Ankit Dave, one of the best doctor for arthroscopy surgery in Nairobi. Unlike traditional open surgery, which often requires large incisions, arthroscopy is performed through small incisions, typically less than a centimetre in length. This results in:

- Less tissue damage

- Reduced scarring

- Lower risk of infection

- Decreased blood loss during surgery

2. Faster Recovery

The minimally invasive nature of arthroscopy translates to significantly faster recovery times compared to open surgery. Benefits include:

- Shorter hospital stays (many arthroscopic procedures are outpatient)

- Quicker return to daily activities

- Earlier start to rehabilitation

- Faster return to work or sports

3. Reduced Postoperative Pain

Patients undergoing arthroscopy generally experience less post-operative pain than those who have open surgery. This is due to:

- Smaller incisions causing less trauma to surrounding tissues

- Reduced manipulation of muscles and ligaments

- Less inflammation and swelling

The reduced pain often leads to:

- Lower reliance on pain medication

- Improved comfort during recovery

- Better sleep and overall well-being during the healing process

4. Improved Diagnostic Accuracy

Arthroscopy provides the best orthopaedic surgeons in Nairobi with a magnified, high-definition view of the joint interior. This allows for:

- More accurate diagnosis of joint problems

- Ability to assess the extent of damage in real-time

- Opportunity to perform additional tests or procedures during the same surgery if needed

5. Versatility in Treatment

Arthroscopy can be used to both diagnose and treat a wide range of joint issues in a single procedure. The best doctors for arthroscopy surgery in Nairobi use this technique to:

- Repair torn cartilage or ligaments

- Remove loose bodies in the joint

- Smooth out damaged cartilage

- Trim inflamed synovial tissue

6. Lower Risk of Complications

The minimally invasive nature of arthroscopy generally results in a lower risk of complications compared to open surgery. This includes:

- Reduced risk of surgical site infections

- Lower likelihood of excessive bleeding

- Decreased risk of nerve or blood vessel damage

7. Cost-Effective Treatment

While the initial cost of arthroscopic equipment is high, the overall cost of treatment can be lower due to:

- Shorter hospital stays

- Reduced need for pain medication

- Faster return to work, reducing lost productivity

8. Applicability to Multiple Joints

Arthroscopy can be used to diagnose and treat problems in various joints, including:

- Knee

- Shoulder

- Hip

- Ankle

- Elbow

- Wrist

This versatility makes it a valuable tool for addressing a wide range of orthopaedic issues.

9. Enhanced Rehabilitation

The less invasive nature of arthroscopy often allows for:

- Earlier start to physical therapy

- More aggressive rehabilitation protocols

- Faster restoration of joint function and range of motion

10. Improved Patient Satisfaction

The combination of faster recovery, less pain, and improved outcomes often leads to higher patient satisfaction rates compared to traditional open surgery.

Considerations and Limitations

While arthroscopy offers numerous benefits, it’s important to note that it’s not suitable for all joint problems. Some complex or extensive injuries may still require open surgery. Additionally, the success of arthroscopy depends on factors such as:

- The skill and experience of the surgeon

- The specific condition being treated

- The patient’s overall health and adherence to post-operative instructions

Conclusion

Arthroscopy has transformed the landscape of orthopaedic surgery, offering patients a less invasive option for diagnosing and treating a wide range of joint problems. The benefits of faster recovery, reduced pain, and improved outcomes make it an attractive choice for many patients and surgeons alike.

If you’re facing a potential joint surgery, consult one of the best orthopaedic surgeons in Nairobi to understand whether arthroscopy might be an appropriate option for your condition. While it’s not suitable for every situation, when applicable, arthroscopy can provide a smoother, more comfortable path to recovery and a quicker return to the activities you love.

How to Find Cheap Flights to Africa

Book cheap flight tickets and hotels- https://trailtravelz.com/

Finding cheap flights to Africa can seem daunting, but with the right strategies, you can score some incredible deals. Whether you're planning a safari adventure, a cultural tour, or a business trip, this guide will help you navigate the process of finding affordable airfare to this diverse and beautiful continent.

1. Be Flexible with Your Travel Dates

One of the easiest ways to find cheap flights is to be flexible with your travel dates. Flight prices can vary significantly depending on the time of year, day of the week, and even the time of day. Use fare comparison tools like Google Flights or Skyscanner to explore different date combinations and identify the most affordable options.

2. Book in Advance

While last-minute deals can sometimes be found, booking your flight well in advance is generally the best way to secure the lowest prices. Aim to book your tickets at least three to six months before your intended departure date. Airlines often release their cheapest seats early, so the sooner you book, the better.

3. Use Fare Comparison Websites

Fare comparison websites like Kayak, Momondo, and Skyscanner allow you to compare prices across multiple airlines and travel agencies. These platforms also offer fare alerts, which notify you when prices drop for your preferred routes. Make sure to use these tools to ensure you're getting the best deal possible.
