Protecting Uganda’s Future – Its Children

Today is Human Rights Day and the final day of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.  It’s a day to remind us that everyone must play a vital role in championing human rights and protecting those in need. Children are the most vulnerable among us, completely dependent on others for their needs and protection. This makes children the most likely to suffer violence and human rights abuses, often at the hands of those on whom they depend on the most. Uganda has an appallingly high incidence rate of violence against children.  The Uganda Violence Against Children Survey (UVAC 2015) found that 75 per cent of Ugandan children experience some form of violence during childhood. Research shows that the bulk of this violence is occurring in places that should be safe and committed by people like parents/relatives, teachers, friends, and trusted community leaders who those children should be able to trust most.

Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien Announces First Live Shows As EOB

After launching his solo project EOB with the ambient instrumental "Santa Teresa" this past fall, Radiohead's Ed O'Brien kicked off his album rollout last week with the nine-minute epic "Brasil." The EOB album — which O'Brien has been talking about since 2016, and which features the likes of Laura Marling, Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche, and O'Brien's Radiohead bandmate Colin Greenwood among many other contributors, and which was produced by Flood and mixed by Alan Moulder — is supposedly coming early next year. And now he's announced his first live shows promoting it. So far O'Brien is just playing four shows, his first under the EOB moniker. They'll be club shows in major North American cities: Toronto, Chicago, New York, and LA. They're happening in February, so maybe the album will be out by then? He's teased one more single and then an early 2020 release, so it could happen. Then again, these gigs are billed as a prelude to a full-scale tour later in the year. EOB's live band will
