''' *SAVE A SOUL* '''

A TROUBLING - TERRIBLE - TORTURING - prognosis for migrant children : Severance from parents can lead to ill effects that continue throughout life.

Some youngsters retreat entirely, their eyes empty, bodies limp, their isolation a wall of defiance, others cannot sit still : watchful, hyperactive, ever uncertain.

GIVE A GIFT THAT will make a difference. Give the gift of saving a soul.... There's absolutely no way that -

The World Student Society will go forward, unless the students from the coastline countries of Africa, and the landlocked countries of the African continent join up.

STEVE CASE - THE ENTREPRENEUR who's now investing in regions that venture-capital tends to ignore - told me, when I called him : 'Creativity is broadly distributed. Opportunity is not.''

The gap between rich and poor is just one of the worrisome findings. The middle class has innovation rates closer to that of the poor than the affluent.

Children from the southeast are less likely to become inventors. So are African-Americans, Latinos and women.

Referring to America : "We do a pretty job at identifying the kids who are good at throwing at a Football or playing a trumpet.''

But we don't do a particularly good job at identifying the kids who have the potential of creating a phenomenal new product or service or invention.'' We all suffer for that failure.

And that is precisely why The World Students Society has gloried to the fore. And with that I return to the honor of the continuing post.  For the world at large has begun to understand that the most important thing for the world is what The World Students Society thinks, plans, and executes next.

FIGHT ETHNIC CLEANSING

Myanmar has gotten away with a brutal campaign of murder, rape and pillage directed at the Rohingya Muslim minority.

Some expert believe it may qualify as genocide, and hundreds of thousands of survivors have poured into Bangladesh.

As it happens, one of the world's best aid organizations, BRAC, is based in Bangladesh and does extraordinary work there as well as in other countries from South Sudan to Afghanistan.

BRAC is now working with Rohingya Muslim refugees in Bngladesh and building latrines, clinics, wells and safe spaces for refugee children. To fight the slaughter, we also need advocates, and Fortify Rights is a longtime leader in fighting for the Rohingya.

!TEST FOR CANCER!

It's scandalous that a quarter-million women a year still die of cervical cancer, when these deaths are overwhelmingly preventable with HPV vaccinations and simple screenings.

A Florida doctor, Vincent DeGennaro Jr., has poured his soul into starting a small aid group. Innovating Health international, that helps women with cervical and breast cancer in Haiti and tries to prevent those cancers in the first place.

It supports simple vinegar-based screenings that cost almost nothing - but can prevent an agonizing death.

President Trump is cutting off funds for reproductive health organizations, like the U.N.'s population Fund, so aid groups in this sphere could use a boost.

Partners in Health, a leading health aid organizations, also does superb work fighting cervical cancer and other diseases in Haiti.

!GIVE A BED NET!

I'm haunted by a memory from two decades ago in Cambodia :

I came across a grandmother caring for seven children because the mother had just died of malaria.  the grandma had one mosquito bed net that could accommodate a couple of children.

Her hardest task every night was to figure out which children would sleep under the net and which would sleep unprotected and perhaps die.

The Against Malaria Foundation supplies effective bed nets for about $4 each to families in areas where malaria is a major killer.

Neckties and sweaters are expansive, but saving a life, even in 2018, bargain. God bless you all. 

With respectful dedication to the Leaders, Grandparent, Parents, Students, Professors and Teachers of the world. See Ya all ''register'' on !WOW! - the World Students Society and Twitter  - !E-WOW!    the Ecosystem 2011:

'*GREEK MARKETS GROAN*'

Greek financial markets rally on debt relief deal.

Greece's government borrowing costs have dropped and the stock market is rallying on the news that the country's creditors have agreed to debt relief measures that pave the way for an end to the nation's eight year bailout program in two months.

The yield on Greece's benchmark 10-year bond fell to 4.1 percent Friday, down about 0.2 percentage points. The main stock index was up 2.2 percent.

The agreement concluded overnight in Luxembourg by finance ministers from fellow members of the 19 - member eurozone grants Greece a ten-year extension in repaying a large chunk of its crippling debt load.

It also provides the country with enough ready cash to coast it over nearly two more years, without having to resort to expensive international bond markets after bailout loans run out in August. [AGENCIES]

'' * !SNOWY BENEATH- SIBERIA? * "

VAST WEALTH beneath the Siberian snow : Norilsk has risen again along with Russia's economic fortunes. Around 175,000 people now live year-round in Norilsk.

Beyond the city, which is 1,800 miles northeast of Moscow in northern Siberia, extends an endless, mostly uninhabited wilderness.

''Everything else is a vast wild land with no people,'' said Vladmir Larin, a scientist who lives in Norilsk. ''This is where the last wild mammoths died. When they dug the foundations of the buildings, they found the bones of mammoths.''

The bones of former prisoners also keep resurfacing, appearing each year when winter finally breaks in June and the melting snow carries to the surface these buried remains of the city's grim and, in official accounts at least, still mostly smothered past.

Some residents are the descendants of former slave laborers who stayed on simply because it was too hard to leave a place so remote that locals refer to the rest of Russia as ''the mainland.''

There are no roads or railway lines connecting Norilsk to parts of Russia outside the Arctic. The only way to get in or out is by plane or by boat on the Arctic ocean.

Many resident, however came voluntarily, lured by the promise of relatively high salaries and steady work in the city's metallurgical industry, a sprawling complex of  of mines and smelters owned by Norilsk Nickel.

The business is a privatized former state company that is world's largest producer of palladium and also a major supplier of nickel, copper and other metals.

It is also one of the world's biggest producers of pollution, turning the area into a dead zone of lifeless tree trunks, mud and snow. At one point, the company spewed more sulfur dioxide a year than all of France.

It has since taken some steps to reduce its output of toxic waste but was last year blamed for turning the Daldykan, a river that runs by the plant, into a flow of red goo. Locals called it ''blood river''.

The company gets its products to  market through a port at  Dudinka on the Yenisel River, the largest of the three great  Siberian rivers that flow north into the Arctic ocean.

Dudinka, as well as providing Norilsk's outlet to the outside world, also offers a glimpse of the region's past.

The settlement's natural history museum displays tents used by the four main indigenous people in the area. The biggest of those today are the Dolganas, a nomadic Turkic people that used to live off hunting and reindeer herding but were themselves herded into collective farms during the Soviet era.

''*CHINA -NEPAL- RAIL*'''

China and Nepal have agreed to build a  railway connecting Tibet with Kathmandu, among a raft of deals signed during the Nepali prime minister's visit to Beijing, reports said on Friday.

Nepal is seeking closer ties and much-needed energy and infrastructure investment from China., which has flexed greater economic and diplomatic muscle in its Himalayan neighbour in recent years.

Beijing's growing presence has raised hackles in Nepal's traditional ally India.

The two countries signed more than 10 ''cooperative documents'' on Thursday during Prime Minister K.P.Sharma Oil's trip to China, according to the China Daily.

The rail route will link Nepal's capital with Gyirong trading port in the Tibetan city of Xigaze, according to the China daily, citing a Chinese vice foreign minister.

Indian media said the two sides signed agreements worth  $2.4 billion on Wednesday, with Chinese investors ploughing money into developing hydroelectricity, water resources, cement factories, fruit cultivation and farming.

''*SAUDI ARABIA GEARS UP*''

Saudi Arabia will allow women to drive from this Sunday, today, ending the world's only ban on female motorists, a historic reform marred by what rights group call on expanding crackdown on activists.

Overturning the decades-long ban, a glaring symbol of repression against women, is part of Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salam's much-trumpeted reform drive to modernize the conservative petrostate.

Potentially thousands of  female drivers are set to take the wheel on Sunday, a long awaited-rite of passage for women in the kingdom that many say could usher a new era of social mobility.

''Its very important step and essential for women's free mobility,'' Hana al-Khamri, author of the forth coming book ''Female Journalists in Gender Apartheid Saudi Arabia,'' told journalists.

''Women in Saudi Arabia live under patriarchal structures. Allowing them to sit sit behind the wheel will help challenge  social and gender norms  that hinder mobility , autonomy and independence.

For many women the move should prove transformative, freeing them from their dependence on private chauffeurs or male relatives and resulting in big family savings.

''It's a relief,''  Najah al-Otaibi, a senior analyst at pro-Saudi think tank Arabia Foundation, told AFP.

''Saudi women feel a sense of  justice. They have long been denied a  basic human right  which has kept them confined and dependent on men, making it impossible to exercise a normal life.'' [Agencies]
