"She is a leader in the legal profession [and] has been a mentor to many aspiring legal professionals."

"Her influence will likely remain in the areas of defense, women’s rights, and leadership."

"I know she will serve the people of NSW with absolute distinction."

"Justice Beazley said she would bring three of her core beliefs — community, education and rule of law — to the role."

"She is often seen as a symbol of loyalty. Safia's unwavering support for Gaddafi is a defining aspect of her legacy."

"she maintained a low profile during the early stages of their marriage, but she became a public person following the release on the license of Baset Ali al-Megrahi in 2009. Also, she went on to organize a party to commemorate the anniversary of the the1969 Libyan revolution that ushered Gaddafi to power."

"she became the Vice President of the African First Ladies organization following her election in 2008 at a meeting of African Union leaders in Sharm al-Sheik in Egypt. Her ascendancy to the seat was bizarre because she was not present at the meeting nor has she ever participated in activities that concern the organization."

"Safia Farkash's diverse interests, strong family bonds, and unwavering support for Gaddafi shaped her intriguing and complex legacy, making her a figure of both admiration and scrutiny."

"Her participation inspired new level of activism in Nigeria’s pro-democracy movement. Alhaja Kudirat mobilised market women, students, activists and other human rights community to fight for the struggle of democracy."

"In the summer of 1994, Kudirat was actively involved in moving and sustaining the oil workers 12 week strike action against the military government. The strike which succeeded in isolating and weakening the government, was the longest in Africa history by oil workers."

"To have lost even the why or the what for - to dream and to wake with the weight of even the mechanical why even the mechanical wherefore -"

"As coming upon a puff-adder coiled on the carpet under the desk"

"We selected patients who presented epistasis or menorrhagia through clinical file and made them pass an interview and biological exams."

"We also determined the operational acceptability of the new ASDHQ by collecting qualitative data from the donors. We hypothesized that the ASDHQ questionnaire would reduce the rate of risk deferrals compared to historical data, increase HIV prevalence in deferred donors compared to HIV prevalence in accepted donors."

"Investigators also completed a paper-based laboratory tracking form in which they documented PDT and ELISA results performed on-site by the facilities themselves in addition to other specimens collected."

"We recruited 137 HIV-positive donors (cases) and 256 HIV-negative donors (controls) and gathered risk factor data using audio computer-assisted self-interview."

"I believe women not only here but all over the world face double and triple-fold challenges due to societal, cultural and other baggages."

"The ASDHQ might be efficient only in specific conditions that maximize truthful donor’s responses, requiring each blood service to create an environment of trust and transparency to increase donors’ compliance and improve the accuracy of the questionnaire."

"Passion in my view is to do the best you can in whatever position you are in. Since childhood I used to do things only that feel comfortable to my soul and the biggest one was knowledge; knowledge about mathematics, the universe, science, nature and so on, therefore as a young girl I was confused which one to choose to pursue my education further, because everything seemed equally fascinating. However, as I grew up, I started to focus on one because I understood that I cannot be a master of all."

"Therefore, first a woman has to stand and feel comfortable in her own feet/skin and then when facing challenges she should take a wise decision. A woman should avoid dependency at any level, which does not mean she doesn’t have to request for support. What I mean is she needs to thrive and die trying so that she knows the thickness of her skin"

"To reduce blood-borne HIV transmission, four main strategies need to be considered: more effective identification of blood donors at high risk of HIV infection, better laboratory screening for HIV, pathogen reduction of blood products and reduced blood utilization. Blood donor risk screening comes first in the overall process of collecting safe blood products."

"you can do it!” You are truly capable! You are going to accomplish it for sure! You are going to excel.” This was a great ingredient injected in my blood to motivate my soul in everything I do"

"As the saying goes success is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration. This taught me that life is not always a straight-line and that challenges are the way to move forward in life as it would have been very boring otherwise"

"Ofcourse as part of the human element there are individual differences in pursuing goals, but I always tried to pursue the best in whatever that comes to my table which is an added value and a cumulative result to my success today."

"I hoped the Challenge would help me to rejuvenate my writing habits by making me think outside the box, which it definitely did."

"Prof. Semesi had many international contacts, and worked with scientists in the Eastern African region as well as Europe, the Americas and Asia. She was the first botany co-ordinator for the Sida/SAREC bilateral Marine Science Programme, and the programme owes much of its progress to her important input. It was while in this programme that Adelaida Semesi had the idea of producing this flora. She realised the great need and potential for seaweed research in Tanzania and understood the usefulness of a simple identification tool. During the years, she has continually inspired the work with enthusiasm and a sense for the practical. Apart from being an excellent scientist, Professor Semesi was also a very warm and special person. We who had the pleasure of working with her during these years miss her deeply."

"The deadline is what makes it fun. If I'd had more time to write the script, it would have surely lost some of its organic grossness. I would have tweaked that out in the interest of not making my readers sick."

"Don't forget to get up every once and a while and do some stretching and exercises. Don't let your body atrophy in front of the computer."

"Remember – if you're not healthy, you won't feel good enough to write! But after you've had your vitamins and have done your yoga, write as much as you can as often as you can, even if you spend a lot of time staring at a blank page. If you just hang in there, you will succeed!"

"There was the one life-changing teacher in high school and then the-rock-and-the-foundation writing teacher I had in college. Both pushed me to explore the limits of my creativity and were very open minded to my wild imagination."

"What we should be conscious of now is life after death because it will takes the grace of God to live extra thirty years from today."

"I love the concept of writers being presented with a blind challenge rather than simply submitting previously-completed work for judging. It puts us all on an even playing field, so anything goes. And I like competing against writers of all walks of life and with all levels of experience."

"And it should always echoes in our ears that, there is reward for everything we are doing on earth because we would face judgement from God."

"the strong force, which holds together atomic nuclei; the weak force, which is behind radioactivity; the electromagnetic force, including both visible and non-visible light; and gravity. The ATLAS collaboration is searching for a new physics, transcending our current vision of the universe,"

"It was designed to detect particles that can be created only through proton-proton collisions at extremely high speed. Through these experiments, the international community hopes to recreate the conditions existing in the universe less than one billionth second after the Big Bang, about 13.7 billion years ago."
