POLIO SCARE IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA

The National 20 July 2018

There is a rumour in this country that polio can be caught by people eating cooked market food like rice balls, doughnuts or fried flour cakes. Not true.

Polio or poliomyelitis is a crippling and potentially deadly infectious disease caused by the poliovirus. Please click:

Polio - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/polio/symptoms.../syc-20376512

Dec 9, 2017 - Signs and symptoms, which can last up to 10 days, include: Fever. Sore throat.Headache. Vomiting. Fatigue. Back pain or stiffness. Neck pain or stiffness. 

Pain or stiffness in the arms or legs.

The virus spreads from person to person and can invade the brain and spinal column of an infected person causing paralysis.

About one in four people with poliovirus will have flu like symptoms that include sore throat, fever, tiredness, nausea, headache or stomach pain.

A smaller proportion may develop other more serious infections that attack the brain and spinal cord.

Paralysis is a more serious symptom that may lead to disability or death. Even children who seem to recover can develop a new muscle pain, weakness or paralysis some 40 years into adulthood. 

Polio only affects humans. It may be contagious and lives in the person's throat or intestines. 

It enters the body through the  mouth and spreads through  contact with faeces of an infected person or through droplets from coughing or sneezing.

FRIENDSHIP, REGRET, SUPPORT AND GOOD WILL

Recently I have told several neighbours of my HIV status. I recall that I was infected about 5 years ago and tested in 2017.

I have had nothing but friendship, regret, support and good-will from these dear people. They know I am a good man who has spent a life caring for his daughters and now his grand-sons.

One lady thanked me for confiding in her. I told her she could tell her friends. This is nothing like the fake news put out to the community by the UN, AusAID and I Gat Hop scumbags who blame families for stigma, discrimination and violence.

If there is stigma, discrimination and violence it is a response to those PLWHA who are anti-family, violent, trouble-making, sexually promiscuous both heterosexual or gay, boozing, marijuana smoking, home brew drinking and constantly opposing parents struggling to raise children in their families. 

The thugs of 3 Angels Care were in this category. It is too easy to blame parents for stigma, discrimination and violence. It shifts the blame away from the PLWHA trouble-makers. That then becomes the key message for I Gat Hop.

There are people who are HIV positive but living in a loving family, supporting family members, involved in the church, active in the community, working in a job, bringing home a wage for the family and being a role model for brothers and sisters.

Life for them goes on regardless. Being HIV positive sinks down to being a minor factor in their lives within perceptions of family and friends.

"INSULTING LANGUAGE" POLICE SCAM

Private conversations between two people with no witnesses should not be subject to charges and arrest for "insulting language". 

The plaintiff could say anything. Arrests will be made on false claims. It is not the job of the Court to find out the truth. That is what the cops think.

There is corruption and trickery in the police charge of " insulting language". Any rogue or criminal can charge any law abiding citizen with insulting language even on matters that are routine and the plaintiff is in the wrong.

An employer can be put in the cells for critical words to a worker. The worker will complain to a wantok in the local police station and the employer is in the cells. 

A landlord can be charged by a tenant for angry words after a wild party held by the tenant. Police just go out and arrest without checking out the facts.

Last week, my daughter was attacked by thug waitresses at the Chinese kai bar in the Buchanan Building at Eriku. She was put in the cells for swearing at her attackers. I paid her bail for a Court hearing that never happened. My bail money was stolen.

Four years ago, I was attacked by a violent woman Jill Kendi who was a neighbour at 5 Mile and wanted to steal the house that I was looking after. 

She claimed that the founder of AIDS Holistics was running a brothel. It was an AIDS Holistics care centre. I have reports on this blog on house stealing at 5 Mile aided by thug police from Gordons and 6 Mile Police.

One day she stood at the gate and bashed me with a large piece of wood. I swore at her. An hour later her thug brother arrived with police from the local police station and arrested me for insulting language.

Bail was K300. At the hearing the case was dropped as the plaintiff did not come. That was because she made the complaint in a false name and I told her I knew.

Then I was senior lecturer at International Training Institute in Port Moresby. One day I corrected Margaret the typist who was making errors in a letter she was preparing. She swore at me. I told her to fix the letter and not be ridiculous. 

An hour later two police arrived and I was arrested for insulting language. Bail was K300. The case was dropped as I showed her witnesses were fake. 

I drew and photocopied a plan of the office, gave a copy to each witness and asked each which computer she sat at and where I was standing. They all got it wrong. Case dismissed.

Each time these fake arrests were made by stupid or corrupt police.  The false statements from plaintiffs were not used to arrest the plaintiff. That is police corruption by wantoks in the police station.

It may be there are corrupt police and rogue citizens running scams of false arrests for Insulting language against honest citizens. The bail money is stolen by the police and their accomplices.

CORRUPTION AT TOP TOWN POLICE STATION IN LAE

Last weekend, my younger daughter found herself in the cells at Top Town police station.

She had been to a Chinese kai bar in the Buchanan building in Eriku and ordered soup and a meal.

But the waitress refused to give her soup and my daughters scolded her. The Chinese manager brought her soup.

The waitress abused her for causing her trouble. Later as my daughter left the kai bar, the thug waitress followed her out and tried to bash her.

My daughter defended herself after a year of Karate in Port Moresby. Three more waitresses came out and bashed her. The Chinese owner did not attempt to stop them.

The first I knew of it was when my daughter phoned from the police cells asking her dad to come and bail her out.

After the bashing, the female thug waitress phoned the police who came and arrested my daughter and put her in the cells for “insulting language”.

No mention was made of the violent attack of the thug waitresses.

I was told by the senior constable (two hooks) that the bail was K300. He told my daughter to come to collect her bail receipt on the Monday. There was no bail receipt issued on the Monday. The policeman said the Court would be on Wednesday.

I did not trust the constable who took the K300 and went to the District Court each day to check her name on the notice board.

There was no Court on Wednesday and no list on the notice board all week. My daughter met the thug waitress when she came to check who shouted her for not appearing in Court.

The thug waitress announced that my daughter was to pay a fine of K600. There was no Court but only bushkanaka justice at the hands of a rogue waitress.

Three days later, my daughter was met at her workplace by two constables obviously friends of the thug waitress and told that if she did not pay the K600 she would be arrested again.

This is what we may call out of Court police extortion. I was advised of the police threat by my elder daughter.

I thundered down to the kai bar to confront the Chinese manager and his thug waitresses who bashed my daughter.

The Chinese manager would not give his name nor confirm that he had a passport or work permit. He originally said he did not have a passport but changed his mind.

The thug waitress announced she would have me arrested probably by her friend the corrupt cop who came to the work place.

We arrived at the Top Town Police station to find her talking to a police first constable at the counter.

My elder daughter identified him as the policeman who threatened my daughter at the work place.

The issue died when we arrived and I talked about the violence that was directed at my daughter before her arrest for “insulting language”. This was pure lies and tricks by a kai bar waitress.

It is obvious that the bail money was stolen by the first constable who did not charge my daughter for Court hearing. He wanted to keep the money.

The thug waitress wanted her money which she probably planned to share with the two corrupt constables. So they made up their own Court finding and fine.

The plan was to steal bail money (K300) and a fake fine (K600) but it never happened, thanks to a father with detailed knowledge of the law.

This report will go on blog and be passed to the Police Station Commander at Top Town Police.

DOG-BRAINED GRANDFATHER GOES TO PRISON

The National  11 July 2018

There was a media report of a predator 66 year old Papua New Guinea grandfather who had been raping his grand-daughter for several years and threatening to beat her with a strand of barbed wire.

When she cried out to her family, the man threatened her brothers and sisters with being beaten with barbed wire. He was recently sentenced to prison for 20 years.

He was an over-sexed criminal with no respect for his own family. The judge called him a predator.

He will spend 20 years in prison and be 86 years old if he lives long enough to be released. He can be sure that no grand-children will ever visit him in prison and bring him food.

His family will be ashamed to have reported him to police. But families are doing that in this country.

FINAL PREPARATION FOR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT 2018 GRADE 11

Teachers: Please be advised that this program has been laid down in terms of Standards Based Education. There is a standard involved in each response. 

This makes teaching easy for the teacher and learning more practical for students. Outcome Based Education was never like that. Standards Based Education involves the teacher drilling the basics.

The program below has been developed since the start of the year and will be tested on students in an internal exam in November. That gives students several months yet to master the responses. 

It is not a heavy task. Students know exactly what to learn. The teacher knows exactly what to teach. This approach takes the pain and uncertainty out of learning.

The more capable students should gain 84 out of 84 correct. Average students should gain 65 out of 84. But all will pass. This technique is also called Mastery Learning.
