"A stunning new book of reportage and analysis." - Pankaj Mishra, Bloomberg

Is the West to blame for the agony of Uganda and its neighbors?

In this powerful account of Ugandan dictator Yoweri Museveni's 30 year reign, Helen Epstein chronicles how Western leaders' single-minded focus on the War on Terror and their na ve dealings with strongmen are at the root of much of the turmoil in eastern and central Africa.

Museveni's involvement in the conflicts in Sudan, South Sudan, Rwanda, Congo, and Somalia has earned him substantial amounts of military and development assistance, as well as near-total impunity. It has also short-circuited the power the people of this region might otherwise have over their destiny. Epstein set out for Uganda more than 20 years ago to work as a public health consultant on an AIDS project. Since then, the roughly $20 billion worth of foreign aid poured into the country by donors has done little to improve the well-being of the Ugandan people, whose rates of illiteracy, mortality, and poverty surpass those of many neighboring countries. Money meant to pay for health care, education, and other public services has instead been used by Museveni to shore up his power through patronage, brutality, and terror. Another Fine Mess is a devastating indictment of the West's Africa policy and an authoritative history of the crises that have ravaged Uganda and its neighbors since the end of the Cold War.

Best glass skin mask that makes it look like you just had a facial!
Color: Lifting (Jericho Rose), Color: Lifting (Jericho Rose)
I bought this mask yesterday and used it last night for the first time. It instantly became part of my skincare regimen after just one use. I’ve tried a couple of different Korean skincare masks, but this one is already my top pick. First, it comes with the silicone applicator to help apply it evenly. It’s not sticky or tacky and it stays in place. The directions say wait 40 minutes and after 40 minutes it is dry and peels off like a normal face mask! It doesn’t pull at your skin when peeling it off, you don’t need to rinse it with water, and then the results are INSTANT. I was completely captivated in the shine it gave my skin. This will be a repeated purchase which sounds crazy after one use, but you can just tell it’s that good!! I included before and after (less than an hour time difference in these photos!)

30 minute miracle for glassy, glowy skin!
Color: Lifting (Jericho Rose)
Look, I haven't tried any other collagen wrapping masks, but I don't have to! This one leaves my skin SO GLOWY, pretty and fresh. It's easy to peel off, easy to put on. It's a self-care, spa day, moment when I get to use this mask. I've tried sleeping with it but it doesn't want to stay on that long. After about an hour, it's ready to come off almost on it's own. However, I don't need to keep it on overnight to get that magic glow. This would be great to do pre-event, pre-pictures, or anytime you want your skin to just look its best. This one does the trick and I highly encourage you to try it. It's affordable as well and just a peptide tsunami for the skin. Get it. Love it. Be your best self.
