NAIROBI, NAIROBI COUNTY, KENYA, July 3, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ — An innovative research-led model for building peace has been pioneered by an Irish Catholic priest and his Shalom Centre colleagues working in areas of Northern Kenya where assault rifles are as common in households as cooking pots.
And the model is expanding into other parts of Africa, starting with Côte d'Ivoire, Tanzania and the Central African Republic, with further plans to establish centres as well in Ethiopia, South Sudan, Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The model's success is founded on extensive research into areas of complaint and issues that drive conflict then working with key community opinion-shapers — elders, women, youth and influential chiefs — to reach a common understanding of both the history and current definition of a conflict's source, while building trust and co-operation to reach solutions.
The philosophy of Fr. Devine, a 29-year veteran of African ministry: Conflicts are created by unmet human needs and the inability of weak institutions to help people actualize their potential. Shalom's peaceful coexistence goal is simple: "To help the people become the architects of their own future."
Shalom's grassroots-based methodology, he says, embraces prevention and transformation — "delving deep into the social, economic, historical, cultural and religious factors that contribute to extremist behaviours that cause significant destruction and trauma to individuals and communities. Conjecture and speculation are no basis for policy making."
"Every conflict has a memory," says Fr. Devine, honoured in 2013 with the International Caring Award, and recently nominated for Ireland's prestigious Tipperary International Peace Prize. "When the causes of conflict are not only identified, but also agreed upon by those involved, peace-building techniques create a way to look forward to a constructive future."
Nairobi-based Shalom Centre's international research and field staff are expert in conflict management theory and practice. All have at least a masters' level education. "And I have never met a group with the persistence, commitment and consistency of Shalom staff," says Fr. Devine.
The goal is not what he calls "negative peace," or just an end to fighting but rather "positive peace," where both sides in a conflict see the benefits of protecting the others' security and wellbeing.
"There's more than enough in the environment for everyone's need," he says, "but not enough for everyone's greed."
Fr. Devine explains why he founded Shalom: "I didn't want to spend another 25 years just dealing with the symptoms of conflict and poverty, nor just putting money through a sieve without substantial endurable results."
"Our centre helps people in this region emerge from patterns of ongoing conflict, an environment in which people are persistently killed, maimed and displaced, preventing social and religious values, such as truth, justice, peace, mercy and reconciliation, from taking deep root. Nor can development be sustained if schools, hospitals, programs, and religious centres are regularly made inoperable due to conflict."
Fr. Devine underlines the non-sectarian nature of the centre's work. "Shalom should not be owned by any one religious tradition," he says. "If we can bring about peace in the world, we can all find our path to God."
At a May EU meeting in Brussels to address the humanitarian situation in Africa, Yemen and Syria, Joe McHugh, Ireland's Minister of State for the Diaspora and Overseas Development, noted the impossibility of sustainable development without peace.
He singled out Shalom's "great work" and lauded the centre for making inroads in "interethnic conflict reconciliation where, for the first time in a particular region even with drought and massive challenges, the peace is holding."
"If there are examples working we should look to them and support them."
The Federal District Court lacks jurisdiction to settle a criminal action, and lost jurisdiction before November 18, 2016.
Preelection President Trump was plagued by Trump University, LLC. Trump University which was a never a University should have forced the Department of Education through the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute but never did when this RICO Action, Cohen v. Trump was filed under 18 USC § 1962. Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel of this Court being a former prosecutor should have ensured that the United States government intervened as well.
Many believe that one cannot settle a criminal case civilly. Further, 18 United States Code is not civil, it is, "Crimes and Criminal Procedure." This Intervenor has experience with fake Universities, White v. Apollo, Group DBA University of Phoenix giving authority to intervene in the Trump University, LLC action in Cohen v. Trump. In addition authority became compelling when President Elect Donald Trump announced that he had entered into a settlement agreement in November 18, 2016 avoiding a Trial by Jury that were to commence on November 28, 2016. This litigant has an unalienable right to intervene based on Rule 24(a)(1) Fed. R. Civ. P., and Donald Trump and Trump University, LLC violated a United States Statute which is of no importance whether it be civil or criminal.
The settlement agreement on November 18, 2016 violated 18 USC § 1964(c) in which the minimum that could be settled were treble damages and was done after Donald Trump were elected President becoming a new criminal act as well. Any settlement in a RICO activity is an admission of guilt and is not a settlement but a plea bargain. Any other activity thus becomes a 18 USC § 241 act of, "Conspiracy," further encumbering President Trump's liberty.
To the chagrin of all litigants in this case is Rule 68 Fed. R. Civ. P., that took away the Courts Jurisdiction on November 10, 2016 to settle. This is because it is 14 days from November 28, 2016 being the last Jurisdictional Day of November 13, 2016. However, being Sunday, the next Jurisdictional Day was November 11, 2016. This too was veterans day. Thus, by law, the Court lost Jurisdiction on November 10, 2016. At any level, the activity of the Trump Legal Team violated 18 USC § 2071(b) by falsification and concealment, another new felony that incriminates the President and should have Sua Sponte prompted the Senate and House to move for impeachment.
As to punishmen t, a crime of fraud is categorized as 2B1.1 under United States Sentencing Commission Guidelines. For this activity, now President Trump has become one of the most heinous criminals in US history. First, a violation of this type is 3 years in prison. If it involves amounts over 10 million dollars, then it is 20 years in prison, and for each lawsuit of fraud another 3 years per suit. Technically speaking, there is no doubt that President Trump could be convicted to thousands of years in prison considering the unaudited and qualifying 4,000 law suits.
So on July 14, 2016, in San Diego, California there is a Court Day at 1:30 P.M. It will probably be canceled, but it is a good day to demonstrate for Justice and Impeachment of President Trump. Demand Gonzalo P. Curiel, to set aside the settlement agreement as he has a duty to do so, and impress upon this Federal District Court Judge through demonstration that President Trump should be prosecuted, must be prosecuted, leading to indictment.

FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, July 3, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ — David Rehr, the Senior Associate Dean and a Professor of Law at the George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School, recently co-authored an extensive study about diversity and inclusion in industry associations. Rehr has a history in the association sector, having previously served as President for both the National Association of Broadcasters and the National Beer Wholesalers Association. He collaborated with Vetted Solutions, an executive search firm based in Washington, D.C., to conduct the study and author the research report.
Rehr and Vetted Solutions President James Zaniello decided to pursue the study after a conversation about the role that associations play in “moving the country forwarded.” Rehr and Zaniello, realizing that there was a dearth of research about how modern associations are incorporating diversity and inclusion into their core values and practices, reached out to leaders and representatives from more than 3,000 associations for comment.
— A focus on diversity as a priority. 81% of association leaders said they view diversity and inclusiveness as “core values” of their organizations, while 73% said that their associations already have “comprehensive diversity and inclusion policies” on the books.
— There is still room to grow. 45% of respondents said their associations did not yet have a plan in place for implementing diversity initiatives. 70% said that they didn’t have quality benchmarks to measure the effectiveness of their efforts to boost diversity. 55% said they faced challenges attracting candidates who are qualified and diverse.
The survey also identified strategies associations could put in place to increase diversity and inclusion, such as paying attention to the language of job descriptions and interview questions to altering the onboarding process.
“I hope this research helps those in the association sector implement new initiatives, hold conversations, and model diversity and inclusion programs based on what is being done or where more work needs to take place,” said David Rehr. You can view a copy of the research here.

Hanatu is a Sahara Foundation inspired short film which tells the story of how a young corps member named Preye helps a little girl (Hanatu) in a village rediscover her confidence and hope for a bright future when he helps her secure a prosthetic leg following a dastardly accident which claimed her father's life.

This concept involves creating platforms that connect young entrepreneurs in emerging markets to enhance shared expertise, wealth creation and preservation.

This will be driven through a dedicated online platform- THE SAHARA HUB which will provide resource materials, inspire networking and collaboration on a mass scale for local, regional, national and global beneficiaries.
