Extractions: Web posted at: 4:27 a.m. EST (0927 GMT) KOTA KINABALU, Malaysia (CNN) Striding into polling centers clad in everything from headgear to loincloths, Sabah villagers voted Saturday in a crucial test of Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's popularity. The election has become more than a contest for control of the oil-rich state, which has been led for the past five years by the National Front coalition headed by Mahathir. The outcome of the poll will also be the first gauge of Mahathir's standing since his controversial decision last September to fire his popular deputy, Anwar Ibrahim. Voting ended in all 48 constituencies of Sabah, an oil- and timber-rich state on the island of Borneo, by late Saturday and results are expected by Sunday. Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad General elections are not due in Malaysia until April 2000 and the outcome in Sabah will not be a referendum on Mahathir's 18 years in office. But he badly needs to win the polls to reaffirm his popularity in the country, political analysts said.

"Our Secret War provides an intriguing account of the clandestine Australian operations carried out in Indonesian Borneo (Kalimantan) during Confrontation in the mid 1960s. While international peace talks were being conducted in Bangkok, the Australian government authorised a series of incursions into Indonesian territory. This is the story of the 4th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment, raised at Woodside in 1964, and sent to Malaysia in 1965 as part of Australia's contribution to the defence of the region. This military commitment came at a crucial time due to the deteriorating political climate in much of Southeast Asia." From the publisher's description. (ISBN 095852968X).

(AP Photo/Pressens Bild files/Kenneth Paulsson) In the monochrome gloom of the Arctic winter, the intense blues and reds of Sami ceremonial garb glow like the promise that summer will return someday. When Samis, the reindeer-herding indigenous people once known as Lapps, converge on Jokkmokk for the annual winter market, the grey skies and white snow seem to recede, becoming just a background for the finery - sapphire coats stitched with yellow and orange, caps topped with shimmering crimson plumes. As they lead reindeer through the streets lined with market stalls, visitors stiffened by -30 C temperatures lean close, as if to partake of some radiant heat.

Learning About Epilepsy is thought to be a strong Kiganda indigenous illness brought on by Attitudes of rural people in central Ethiopia toward epilepsy. The great universe of kota. http://www.epilepsytoronto.org/people/eaupdate/vol10-1.html
Extractions: by Lisa Francesca Andermann, MPhil, MD Editor's Note: Ours is a very diverse community, and epilepsy crosses all lines of race, culture and ethnicity. Each culture holds its own beliefs and attitudes towards epilepsy, and the social effects on the person with a seizure disorder can be devastating. Exploring the differing cultural perspectives held within our multicultural constituency is important if all people with epilepsy are going to receive the understanding and treatment they deserve. Below is an abridged version of Dr. Andermann's Epilepsy in Developing Countries Transcultural Psychiatric Research Review 32 (1995) 351-84, with permission. EPILEPSY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: INTRODUCTION The management of epilepsy in developing countries requires knowledge and understanding beyond the usual practices of western medicine. The population of developing countries, which makes up 4036 million out of an estimated world population of 5246 million, includes numerous variations in cultural, economic, political, and religious life, level of education and literacy, and rural and urban lifestyles. This heterogeneity translates into an equally diverse range of beliefs about the causes and treatment of illness. Epilepsy stands out in this regard because of the very nature of its symptoms, which include recurrent convulsions accompanied by loss of consciousness, as well as automatisms, postictal confusion, hallucinations, and delusions. These behaviours have impressed people from earliest times onwards as mysterious and frightening, and required a distinctive explanation within their system of belief.

Internet cafes are mushrooming, and are cheap. In some of the remote areas they can be a little hard to find but if you ask around, seek and ye shall find. Buses and taxi's are abundant. In KK, the Capital, taxi's have meters and buses are marked, but in the more remote areas it is best to negotiate the price.
