Finally Here's the Truth About Curing Diabetes!
by Mark Thompson 04 May '14

04 May '14

Hello, Here's important news for anyone with diabetes. A remarkable E-Book is now available that reveals scientifically proven principles that can activate your body to produce more insulin naturally, reversing diabetes symptoms without the need for medication. Diabetes is a condition in which sugar is not properly absorbed by the body. Globally the incidence of diabetes is expected to exceed 250 million people by 2025 – resulting in 35 million heart attacks, 13 million strokes, 6 million episodes of renal failure, 8 million instances of blindness or eye problems, 2 million amputations and 62 million deaths – that is a measure of the scale of the problem. While diabetes belongs at the top of the healthcare agenda, it has yet to be given that position. According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 21 million diabetics in America; with another 54 million people having pre-diabetes (placing them at high risk for developing Type II diabetes). This equates to 75 million Americans having diabetes, or being at high risk. With attention focused on body sugar and insulin levels, however, the underlying cause of all the devastation has been overlooked. According to health advocate and best-selling author Matt Traverso, many doctors are failing to treat the real underlying cause of diabetes. Instead, they are treating the symptoms with chemicals and pharmaceutical medications that often leave the sufferers with side effects and a long term dependency on these drugs. What some doctors may be failing to understand is that diabetes is not a disease, it is an outward reaction coming directly from the pancreas that results in the body no longer being able to produce normal amounts of insulin due to the pancreas being run down. Matt Traverso's E-Book states, if the damage that is being done to the pancreas can be turned around, the organ will be given the chance to heal itself and then, gradually, it is possible for those who are dependent on insulin shots to be able to stop them all together. This means diabetes sufferers may no longer have to be dependant on the drugs and medications that are usually taken to treat the condition. Top scientists such as Dr Robert O. Young, Dr Gabriel Cousens, Dr Fuhrman and many others (whose groundbreaking research forms the basis of this E-book) state that “diabetes is completely reversible”. This information sheds new light on how diabetes sufferers get the condition and how they can turn their illness around for good.

This call is particularly relevant to organizations and individuals interested in what countries do to influence the global internet, what we are calling the 'foreign policies of the internet'. Particular attention will be paid to proposals that look beyond the policies and narratives of European and North American actors to examine how 'emerging' actors and countries are influencing the debate. The thematic focus of the proposals may include, but is not limited to, one of the general areas: * Who and what are the conditions, processes, and stakeholders that are influencing the development of the internet nationally, regionally, and globally? * How are countries and other strategic global players using the internet to reach foreign policy objectives? * The effects of Snowden and the NSA revelations on the creation of internet policies and narratives about the internet in national/regional/and international contexts * An analysis of 'multistakeholder' internet governance fora and the stakeholders involved in the global internet governance debate * How normative frameworks and narratives about the internet are "exported" from one country or region to others * Cross-national or national surveys of internet users' perceptions of key aspects of internet policy including trust, security, and censorship. * The negotiation between public and private governance online. Applications should be submitted by 5pm EST on May 30, 2014 and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. CLICK HERE [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=7rkgwkqab.0.ozqkwkqab.vq4huhjab.0&r=3&p=http%3A…] for the full call for proposal including information about eligibility, deliverables, submission guidelines, and award criteria.

We don’t have Djibouti consulate here in Tunis. Can you please confirm that we can get the visa on arrival? And are there specific documents we should provide to get the visa? Many thanks Ashil. Dear Tijani, The following information is published in http://www.internetsummitafrica.org/en/practical-info/visa Visitors from all countries require a visa when travelling to Djibouti. A valid passport, visa, and evidence of yellow fever vaccination are required for entry in the Republic of Djibouti. Those travelling by air can obtain 3-day visas at Ambouli International Airport for 10,000 Djiboutian francs ($60) or 30-day visas can be obtained for 15,000 Djiboutian Francs ($90). It is, however, advisable to obtain visas prior to travel to Djibouti whenever possible. Inquiries may be made at the nearest Djiboutian embassy or consulate. In countries where there is no Djiboutian diplomatic representation, travellers may sometimes obtain visas at the French Embassy. The validity of the Djiboutian visa is also the amount of time one may stay in the country without a residency permit. If one overstays his/her visa validity, an exit tax of 10,000 Djiboutian francs ($60) may be required. Djiboutian airport taxes of $60 are typically added into the cost of an airline ticket by travel agents. Tickets purchased online, however, sometimes fail to account for this charge and it may be requested at check-in. Any airport/visa/customs fees must be paid in cash. All visitors are strongly encouraged to visit their nearest Djibouti consulate and check for the requirements to obtain a visa. The above-mentioned information is to be used as a guide only.

Re: [ISOC_KE] [kictanet] What is the Kenyan position on global Internet governance?
by Ali Hussein 02 May '14

Mwendwa I agree with you. I think we should go ahead and lead from the front on this. I think (me included) we as a society have dropped the ball on this. We are too busy castigating the government to give us a position. They won't. If WCIT12 is anything to go by we need to force the hand of the powers that be...this means leading from the front.
