# David Todd Wilkinson

David Todd Wilkinson (May 13, 1935 – September 5, 2002) was an American cosmologist and a professor of physics at Princeton University. He was elected a Member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1983. The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) is named in his honor.

## Quotes

* The universe is filled with thermal radiation having a current temperature of 2.75 K. Originating in the very early universe, this radiation furnishes strong evidence that the Big Bang cosmology best describes our expanding universe from an incredibly hot, compacted early stage until now. The model can be used to extrapolate our physics backward in time to predict events whose effects might be observable in the 2.75 K radiation today. The spectrum and isotropy are being studied with sophisticated microwave radiometers on the ground, in balloons, and in satellites. The results are as predicted by the simple theory: the spectrum is that of a blackbody (to a few percent) and the radiation is isotropic (to 0.01 percent) except for a local effect due to our motion through the radiation.

## Quotes about Wilkinson

* David Todd Wilkinson died on 5 September 2002 in Princeton, New Jersey, after having battled cancer for 17 years. His role in the measurements of the thermal cosmic background radiation (CMB) was key to the completion of the program of cosmological tests that began with Edwin Hubble’s discovery of the expanding universe in 1929.

## Quotes

* If you are insistent, you get raped, killed or even sidelined somehow with the intention to deem your light as a woman. From there, you face esteem challenges and are forced to conform to standards that are less and sometimes even more than who you are, against your desires
* However, identifying a passion and sticking to the standards that I conform to equate how much I value myself and that has helped me become the person that I am. I am simply me even in humbling situations

more reason that the communities need such services to help them put away the multiple stresses that the war has occasioned

# Irene Linda Mugisha

Irene Linda Mugisha is a Ugandan politician, psychologist and a member of parliament for the Fort Portal City in the 11th Parliament of Uganda representing the National Resistance Movement party.

## Quotes

* I owe everything to the people of Fort Portal, and I will do everything in my power to enhance their quality of life.
* Parish committees should allocate funds to individuals who are actively involved in their SACCOs, those living below the poverty line, and those who can effectively use the money to improve their lives, as outlined in the guidelines. I have received complaints that some PDM beneficiaries have not received the funds they applied for, despite meeting the criteria.
* Although this money is not a grant but a revolving fund, it is intended to assist the 39% of Ugandans who are actively poor, not the wealthy. However, those receiving the funds must ensure they use it responsibly and repay it, so it can continue to benefit many others.
* Some parishes consist of up to 14 villages, which creates a challenge when funds are distributed—it often feels like the money is lost in a vast ocean. In some villages, no one has benefited yet, and when you visit, the people are understandably frustrated, expressing their anger over not receiving the funds.
* Nyakitojo, Kitaka, and Rwenkuba are the parishes that were gazetted but did not receive PDM funds. The Ministry of Local Government is aware of this issue, and it has been presented to Parliament. We are now awaiting the Ministry of Finance to allocate funds to these parishes so they can begin benefiting.
* Many people in cities like Fort Portal can easily engage in businesses such as selling eggs, dairy products, and other value-added goods that don’t require much space. Since most urban residents are tenants and lack the space for poultry or piggery farming, they can still sell these products instead.
* I’m not sure if it’s a matter of laziness or a reluctance to escape poverty, but many of you parents have not joined PDM yet continue to blame the government for not helping. How do you expect to be helped if you’re not taking the necessary steps yourself
* The government introduced UPE and USE, yet some still claim that educating your children is too expensive. Now, with programs like PDM and Emyooga aimed at helping you lift yourselves out of poverty, you refuse to embrace them and continue to say you are poor. Why not appreciate the government's efforts, just for once
* Other districts and cities have already started disbursing PDM funds to beneficiaries, and the money is actively being used to make an impact. However, in Fort Portal City, the funds remain in the SACCOs' bank accounts because officials are still in the process of verifying the beneficiaries.

## Quotes

* The need for general scientific understanding by the public has never been larger, and the penalty for scientific illiteracy never harsher… Lack of scientific fundamentals causes people to make foolish decisions about issues such as the toxicity of chemicals, the efficacy of medicines, the changes in the global climate.
** Peter Agre's speech at the Nobel Banquet, December 10, 2003
* Our single greatest defense against scientific ignorance is education, and early in the life of every scientist, the child's first interest was sparked by a teacher.

# Ismail Haniyeh

President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah–Hamas conflict, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continued to exercise prime ministerial authority in the Gaza Strip.

## Quotes

* The answer is to let Israel say it will recognize a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, release the prisoners, and recognize the rights of the refugees to return to Palestine. Hamas will have a position if this occurs.
** From an interview, as cited in "We Do Not Wish to Throw Them Into the Sea". The Washington Post (26 February 2006)
* The underlying problem remains the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and the continuing Israeli assaults against our people.
** "An Interview with Ismail Haniyeh" Partners for Peace (15 March 2006)
* We will never recognize the usurper Zionist government and will continue our jihad-like movement until the liberation of Jerusalem.
** "Haniyeh: Hamas Will Not Recognize Israel", Forbes (8 December 2006)
* You are also continuing the same path that was initiated by Imam Khomeini, since you have always supported the Palestinian people, and I hope that we will meet each other at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the near future.
* The banks refused to deal with us, and they are still refusing, because of American gang-like actions.

** [Mmamoloko Kubayi speaks about Old govt buildings to be converted into homes for State employees]
* Transitioning from the sixth to the seventh administration, we identified 295 blocked projects and carried them over to the current financial year. They're in the business plans of provinces across the country
* That leaves contractors feeling they wouldn't have sufficient resources to complete the project and abandon the site
