AWAKEN TO  YOUR ESSENCE
I feel the infilling.  Oh God I feel it.  Throughout my being I am experiencing the pouring in of Divine Substance, Light, Love, the radiant Essence of Mind, the Infinite Supply of the whole kingdom of God.  I am being filled, filled, filled…my cup runneth over.

Where there was loneliness and emptiness there is now love and fullness of companionship.  I see this….I feel it.

Where there was lack and limitations there is now abundance. I see this….I feel it.

Where there was illness there is now wellness.  I see this….I feel it.

Where there was conflict there is now peace.  I see this….I feel it.

Where there was sorrow there is now joy.  I see this….I feel it.

Where there was a human sense of being there is now the spiritual livingness in the Kingdom of God – my kingdom on Earth.  I see this….I feel it….and it is so!  John Randolph Price, A Spiritual Philosophy For The New World

President Bush further directed the Secretary of Homeland Security to issue procedures for granting work authorization to DED-covered Liberians. In March 2009, President Obama extended DED for Liberians an additional 12 months. In March 2010, President Obama extended DED for Liberians an additional 18 months.  In August 2011, President Obama extended DED for Liberians an additional 18 months.

Jubilation in Bomi as President Sirleaf Signs Western Cluster Agreement     Monday, 22nd August 2011
Monrovia, Liberia - President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has signed into law the Western Cluster Mining Agreement, ending more than two years of intensive negotiations between the Government of Liberia and parties interested in the exploration of the Western Cluster iron ore reserves.
At a ceremony in Tubmanburg, Bomi County, on Monday, the President described the occasion as a great day, assuring residents that the agreement is in the interest of the country. Amid singing and dancing by local residents in appreciation, the President expressed delight that the agreement was finally concluded to allow the company to begin operations that would create employment opportunities. She also thanked the National Legislature for ratifying the agreement.

An Executive Mansion release states that President Sirleaf made it clear that the shipment of iron ore would not begin immediately. “It will take some time for them to finish all of their work… to build all of the infrastructure, the roads and all of those things, before they can start, but at least we are starting, and it will create some jobs and the jobs will be added.”...more

Western Cluster, which owns iron-ore deposits, will have an initial workforce of 200, Ciatta Bishop, an official from the commission, said in a statement in Monrovia, the capital. President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf today signed into law an agreement that will allow mining operations to proceed.

Sesa Goa and Elenilto will jointly invest more than $2.6 billion in Western Cluster and pay the government $41 million once the agreement is ratified.

Liberia: Gov't Announces Increment in Civil Servants' Salary
AllAfrican.com                            Eugene K. Myers22 August 2011


The Liberian government through the Ministry Finance has announced an increment in the salary of all Civil Service Agency (CSA) personnel at government ministries and agencies in the country. The announcement follows the passage of the US$550 Million Budget by the Legislature last Friday in Monrovia. Making the announcement at a press conference in Monrovia over the weekend, Finance Minister Augustine K. Ngufan said the least civil service employees will now receive US$100 as salary during this fiscal year of 2011/2012.

According to him, the 2011/2012 fiscal year national budget has recorded a huge increment of US$56.5 million and could accommodate the government salary increment scheme for CSA personnel as part of the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS).

Speaking further, the Finance Minister said the increment will benefit not only individual group of the current CSA personnel, but also pensioners and the security institutions.

He disclosed that the security sector has received US$64 million allocated in the national budget for 2011/2012 fiscal year due to security challenges the government will have to address during the ensuing Presidential and Legislative Elections.

He further disclosed that the increment of the national budget has pre-war connections to the development of Liberia.....more
Alhaji Kromah Suffers Carbon Monoxide Poisoning;  Bodyguard Found Dead in Lofa

Written by Stephen D. KollieFrontPageAfrica.com  Wednesday, 10 August 2011 00:00
[B]Voinjama, Lofa County[/B] - Reports surfacing in the offices of FrontPage Africa say the standard bearer of the All Liberian Coalition Party and professor of the University of Liberia  Alhaji G. V. Kromah is recovering from carbon monoxide poisoning and his bodyguard found dead as a result of the same incident.

Family sources informed FrontPage Africa late Tuesday night that the episode occurred last Saturday evening in Voinjama where the professor had gone to partake in the party’s primary exercise.
According to family members, the situation unfolded when the professor was taking a nap along with his bodyguard who inadvertently forgot to turn off an indoor generator that did not have external vents before falling asleep causing him Kromah suffocate. His body guard did not survive.

As family members later discovered the stiff body of the professor’s bodyguard in his room, Kromah was instantaneously rushed at the Tellewoyan Memorial Hospital for emergency medical attention where he reportedly spent two days before being rushed to Monrovia for further treatment.

Details of professor Kromah’s health could not be totally verified by FrontPage Africa following the incident, but hospital sources have cited the professor’s condition as serious.

Kromah, currently chairman of the board of the Liberia Broadcasting System, has previously served as a special assistant to the Vice President and later Assistant Information Minister during the regime of President William R. Tolbert, before becoming Director General of the Liberian Broadcasting System in 1982 and Minister of Information in 1984 under President Samuel Doe. He went into exile in June 1990, months after the civil war began in Liberia....more
West Peak Iron Reveals Rock Chips up to 64.6% Iron from Liberian Projects

George Des Kennedy, Business & Economy Columnist

West Peak Iron (ASX: WPI) has announced that it has uncovered rock chips between 30.4% to 64.6% iron at the wholly owned by Bomi South and Grand Bassa Iron Projects, which are located in Liberia.

In a statement posted on the company’s website, the company said all licenses contain identified iron-bearing.

“West Peak has 1,692 km2 of granted tenure prospective for iron ore in Liberia through a combination of reconnaissance and exploration licenses in the Grand Bassa, Bomi, and Bong and River Cess counties. All licenses contain identified iron-bearing formations and are located close to port, rail and road infrastructure (both existing and currently being upgraded to meet iron ore industry requirements). The Company is currently preparing to carry out a field program involving mapping and rock chip sampling to identify prospective iron ore targets.”

West Peak said that the high grade results confirm hematite iron mineralization with potential for direct shipping ore. “In total 126 rock samples were assayed,” the company said on its website.

According to the company, major defining factor for the potential development of the project in the future is the strategic location close to port, rail and road infrastructure, both existing and planned to meet iron ore industry requirements.

West Peak’s executive chairman, David Parker, said, “We are pleased to have received the initial results.”

"We are particularly encouraged by the identification of the potential for direct shipping ore grade material and look forward to building on the initial field work”.

The mineralization encountered by West Peak is typical of West African iron ore deposits where metamorphism has resulted in re-crystallization of magnetite banded iron formations to produce “itabirites” with grades ranging from 20% to 40% iron.

These units have then been subjected to supergene processes to produce a hematite/goethite-rich cap overlying the itabirites units, where iron grades are enriched to generally greater than 50% iron.....more
