Book excerpt: From time to time, certain individuals who display courage and self-sacrifice for the greater good emerge to make a lasting impact on the lives of entire communities. The late Jatani Ali Tandhu ("Shaalaqa") was such a figure, born into a Borana family in southern Ethiopia. 'Jatani Ali Tandhu: Life & Legacy of a Borana Statesman' is a biographical account of an outstanding and much-loved former governor of Borana Administrative Region of southern Ethiopia, from his birth to the fateful day of his assassination in Nairobi in 1992. The biography gives readers a glimpse into the life and work of a distinguished Borana, Oromo and Ethiopian leader. It is hoped that many young people from these communities will be inspired to follow in his footsteps in aiming to lift their people out of demeaning poverty, years of misrule and hopelessness. An everlasting monument to Jatani is not a statue cast from a bronze but the legacy that lives on in people's lives and minds, to inspire current and future generations to follow his example, in having the education, dedication and courage to serve their communities honourably. Tadhi Liban - the author - is among the pioneers of Borana boys who accessed modern education by order of Emperor Haile Selassie I in 1947. Tadhi knew Jatani Ali from the time of the latter's admission to Medhane Alem Boarding School in Addis Ababa in 1952. They became close friends as they grew up together and were concerned about the dire living conditions of people in their home region of Borana. Because of their close friendship, Tadhi knows a great deal about Jatani's life and accomplishments. Tadhi graduated from universities in Ethiopia and USA. He worked as a high school principal for many years in Addis Ababa and later worked as a management consultant and with NGOs in Ethiopia.

Book excerpt: "Oromo women live as traders, wood carriers, shepherds, and farmers in and around the ancient trade center of Harar, Ethiopia. They have lived with the uncertainties of drought, famine, war, and political unrest for several generations and experienced poverty, disease, and severe restrictions in personal freedom. These same women, both young and old, adorn themselves with an array of body modifications and supplements.

This rich ethnography illustrates why Oromo women decorate their bodies in particular ways and why they invest so much time and effort in doing so"--

Download or read book The Electricity Box written by Robyn Berkeley and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eric was able to achieve extraordinary results through prayer and work on the spine or electricity box, as he called it. As he would say: "If the vertebrae are jammed or calcified together or not in the correct place as God has created, the nerves with authority over particular organs and tissues are inhibited, resulting in pain or confusion and disorder. This makes people concentrate on their particular ailment and pursue that, rather than allowing their minds to be free and at peace. That is, not allowing them to see the whole picture. It is a total degeneration of the human race over thousands of years." - Author, Robyn Berkeley - - - - - - - - - - "This book has been many years in the making, and I have longed for it, because I knew Eric McNally and his remarkable story - and I saw first-hand how knowing Eric changed Robyn. Berkeley profoundly. It's a tale worth telling. You'll love it!" - Janise Beaumont, Author - - - - - - - - - - Only when my chronic back pain had immobilised me and the painkillers I was taking outweighed my daily intake of food did I go to see Eric for an appointment arranged for me by a friend who's a comedian and a notorious practical joker. I thought I was on the receiving end of one of his cruellest ever pranks when I discovered Eric's "treatment" didn't involve prescriptions and tablets, but rather the deployment of a hammer and a chisel which he tapped on my spine like Michelangelo sculpting a slab of marble. It was only when the torture was over and I found myself swivelling my hips like Elvis Presley that I realised that, if this was a joke, I was the one laughing. I don't believe in God and I certainly don't believe in miracles but, before my very eyes, Eric prayed to God first and then proceeded to perform a miracle on me. Is it any wonder I'm confused? - Bill Leak editorial cartoonist with The Australian Painter and writer Australia - - - - - - - - - - "Meeting Eric McNally I was struck by this diminutive man on a walking stick. His twinkling blue eyes were both questioning and appraising and I was drawn to this softly spoken soul with such a tranquil spiritual aura. Then came the mallet and rubber as I bent over the stool - the treatment was followed by relief and a sense of peace and energy. Eric McNally changed people's lives for the better." - Glen - Marie Frost, Businesswoman and communicator Sydney

All are stops and clues along the way as Victor Bibby treads in the footsteps of a gold mining pioneer to discover long-lost relatives and the truths about his own family. Bringing alive an historical account of life on the goldfields and events that made colonial history. A fascinating tale of a toolmaker from industrial England who created a new life in Australia as an engineer, innovator and gold miner before struggling against the odds to find fame and fortune as a mining pioneer in the Malayan jungle. About the AuthorVictor Bibby is a retired engineer and this is his first book. He started his career in the Australian Army as a boy apprentice soldier, became an officer, studied, married, had a family and saw more of the world than he expected. He retired as a major after a service distinguished by its ordinariness. Another career in commercial aviation followed and he saw even more of the world, acquiring an attachment to Cornwall without realising the county's wheal (the Cornish name for a mine) houses were signposts to his past. He returned to Australia in the aftermath of the Hawke and Keating years to a changed country and continued working in aviation and saw even more of the world, much of it through aeroplane and hotel windows. Following his last retirement he decided to research his ancestry, which has since become a consuming passion. He lives in Geelong, Victoria, married to his dear and long suffering partner while continuing to look for a place to call home. He has four grandchildren.

All around us, whispers of debauchery filtered from elsewhere in the hotel. She turned her face up at me, with an innocence that belied her words, blinked at me, the tears still visible on her cheeks. ‘I’m serious, you know. I want to be a star. And I’ll do anything, f*ck anyone, toget there.I know you will, I said.And eventually, she did.
