Meet our Havanese/Coton de Tulear cross puppies! On occasion, we have a specially bred litter of Havanese /Coton de Tulear puppies, coined as Havatons.
One parents is a beautiful non shedding white as snow Coton de Tulear, while the other is a colorful Havanese. Given their parents’ purebred registered status, these puppies are eligible for registration with the ACHC. The Havanese stem from the same roots as the Coton de Tulear and mimic their size, stature, personality, etc.
Our Havatons are popular for their size, personality and demeanor. We are fond of their intelligence, playful personality and quick learning skills. The Havanese are much like the Cotons, with the exception of the lighter weight haircoat and the vast colors. If you view the photo below, you can witness the round face that the Coton brings to the mix.
Our parents are well within the breed standards for weight and height. Our Havanese stand 8-12 inches at the shoulder and weigh no more than 13#, although many of ours are much smaller and in the 10-12 pound range.They have a lifespan of 13-15 years. Coton de Tulears are 9.5 to 13 inches at the withers and have a weight of less than 18 pounds. Many of ours are in the 13-14 pound range. Cotons have a lifespan of 12-16 years.
Havanese/Coton de Tulear puppies do not shed and have low dander, therefore are great for people with allergies. They average 13-14 pounds as adults.
Mom and Dad are pictures of health, always doing well on their yearly health exams – never needing anything other than routine care in between check ups. Of course we would expect their babies to follow suit. I am sure you would be pleased with them.
We do not sell puppies to pet stores, brokers or breeders. Only to pet homes such as yours and mine!
All puppies are current on dewormings and vaccinations. They each have an AVID microchip inserted between the shoulder blades for positive identification.

This week, MP for Elmet and Rothwell Alec Shelbrooke has proposed making changes to the welfare system in order to effect what the Daily Express today describes as a “crackdown” on the “skivers taking us all for a ride”.
The idea is a fairly populist one which fits into the present narrative of benefit-bashing, though Shelbrooke certainly isn’t the first one to suggest it. Here’s what he proposes:
Mr Shelbrooke has drafted a Bill that would change the law to allow welfare payments to be made on a new “welfare cash card” whose use could be restricted by the Government.
“Introducing a welfare cash card on which benefits will be paid, claimants will only be able to make priority payments such as food, clothing, energy, travel and housing. The purchase of luxury goods such as cigarettes, alcohol, Sky television and gambling will be prohibited,” Mr Shelbrooke told MPs.
Given that Shelbrooke makes no recommendations concerning the amount, frequency or any other aspect of the welfare or employment system, this means the only purpose of the cards is to allow the government to make sweeping moral and subjective decisions on what a poor person should and should not be allowed to purchase in a shop. It’s about saying: these are nice things, and you’re not allowed to have them.
I notice, mind you, that Mr Shelbrooke makes no comment on whether it is OK for middle-class mothers to spend their child benefit on gin.
Contrary to what stupid Tory MPs would have you believe the great majority of people on benefits would rather not be receiving this kind of assistance. It is not, despite occasional scandals or examples that may suggest otherwise, an especially comfortable or dignified way of living.
Alex Massie – Is this the nastiest Conservative MP in Britain?
Along with the various reasons why this idea is simplistic and unhelpful, it also creates a huge amount of stigma and a significant new black-market overnight, as £100 cards are traded for £80 in cash and various other methods of getting around the system are quickly devised. It might also help put smaller shops out of business and would create a significant administrative overhead for the government.
As Kate points out, there are a multitude of areas where cash payments are required, particularly in emergencies. Additionally, it needs to be said that people with addictions do not simply cease consumption of their substance should financial support be removed. For example, somewhere between a quarter and a half of all acquisitive crime is currently illegal drug-related.
Shelbrooke also forgets that this isn’t the first time a credit-based welfare system has been attempted. Between 1999 and 2002 the Immigration and Asylum Act introduced a policy whereby asylum seekers were given vouchers which could be exchanged for groceries in supermarkets, before the policy was abandoned following protests from refugee charities and due to general dissatisfaction with the expense and inefficiencies with the system. The key aim of the voucher system was to discourage “undesirables” from coming to the UK, just as Shellbrooke’s proposals aim to dissuade people from claiming welfare payments by facilitating stigma, exclusion and emphasising the differences between welfare claimants and other citizens.
Putting aside the populist tabloid appeal of the proposals, there is one other big hurdle to their acceptance by the general public and that is the concept of contribution. If someone has been paying their national insurance contributions over many years, on the understanding that they could call upon the welfare system should they fall on hard times, why should the government have any say whatsoever in how benefit payments are spent.
If this weren’t all bad enough, Shelbrooke then references the commonly-held myth that “is not uncommon for families to have third-generation benefit claimants, who have never made these insurance contributions”, yet as we have seen with the release of a new report by The Joseph Rowntree Foundation, this is little more than fabrication.
Despite dogged searching in localities with high rates of worklessness across decades we were unable to locate any families in which there were three generations in which no-one had ever worked.
These basic factual, moral and practical failures have been completely overlooked by someone who really should know better. The welfare card would give birth to a system in which the poor are further stigmatised, othered and designated as second class citizens, making an already difficult life even harder to live.
Overall, Shelbrooke strikes me as someone trying to further his own media profile and protect his thin parliamentary majority with poorly devised headline-grabbing nonsense. I sincerely hope the voters of Elmet and Rothwell have enough sense to show him the door in 2015.

SAHHAR TO GIVE ONLINE PERFORMANCE
Given that all bars, restaurants and music venues have been shut down due to the COVID-19 virus, top Maltese Black Metal act Sahhar will be taking his music into cyberspace to reach out to the metal scene by giving a live studio performance via internet on Friday, March 20 at 8.30pm CET.
Sahhar first emerged onto the local scene in 2006, the brainchild of Marton Saliba. Inspired by obscure themes such as death, the occult and the impending doom of mankind, Sahhar has to date released more than a dozen albums and EPs, and opened for legendary metal bands Destroyer666 and Mayhem. Sahhar's latest album, Qilla tal-Qrun, was nominated in two categories at this year's Malta Music Awards.

Medical research has a long history of twists and turns – research with serendipitous discoveries or dedicated efforts to move a hypothesis into theory and realization. Such research and awesome discoveries and their applications have improved our health substantially. We are always on the cusp of new technologies and treatments, or even cures of diseases and conditions once thought inevitable and incurable. It is important to understand how clinical trials further research goals.
The Columbia University Irving Medical Center Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery explains on their website (2018): “A clinical trial is a research study using human volunteers, which is intended to add to medical knowledge. Participants receive a specific intervention, such as a medical strategy, treatment or device, to determine whether it is safe and effective for humans.”
Such trials are often the culmination of long research processes which may begin in laboratories or animal testing. Strict scientific standards are applied to both protect participants and confirm reliable results.
According to the University of Michigan, Michigan Health’s Blog (April 17, 2018), there are several stages to a clinical trial for new drugs and treatments. https://healthblog.uofmhealth.org/health-management/different-phases-of-clinical-trials-and-what-they-mean Quotes below are attributed to Vallerie McLaughlin, M.D.
Phase I: testing of a new medication or treatment for the first time. “Usually a trial in healthy volunteers to get the information about the dosing of a drug and about the side effects which might be expected.”
Phase II: Testing of a larger group of participants with the same condition or disease “to get information about how effective the drug is to treat certain parameters of that disease.”
Phase III: Phase III is also called a pivotal trial; it marks the formation of those participants on the new drug and those participants receiving a standard treatment or placebo (definition: a substance that has no therapeutic effect and is used as a control in drug testing).
Phase IV: this phase takes place after federal approval and is meant to find “other indications or scenarios for the drug.”
We will learn more about clinical research in part two of this discussion.

How much do most of us really know about pregnancy? I honestly didn’t realise how little I knew until a friend of mine got pregnant. The changes that come with it and the strange symptoms really caught me off guard. At one point, she became obsessed with the smell of coffee – and this was someone who absolutely couldn’t stand it before she got pregnant. Let’s just say it was a sharp learning curve for me and I learned a lot. So, let’s get technical. Pregnancy, which can formally be known as gestation, is the time from conception to birth during which the offspring develops inside the mother. From the woman’s last menstrual period till birth, the process usually takes about 40 weeks, and when measured from conception it takes about 38 weeks. This usually comes to just over nine months. Early signs of pregnancy may include missed periods, tender breasts, nausea and vomiting, hunger, and frequent urination. Fun times all round.
Pregnancy is usually categorized into three periods, known as trimesters. The first trimester runs from conception – which is when the sperm fertilizes the egg – to week 12. During this time, the egg is fertilized to become the embryo which travels down the fallopian tube and nestles in the uterus or womb. This is where it, alongside the placenta which connects it to nutrients sourced from the mother, begins to develop. The second trimester runs from week 13 to 28, and it is during this period that the mother may begin to feel movement of the fetus.
The end of the second trimester marks an important milestone in pregnancy since, from week 28, 90% of fetuses can survive outside of the uterus if provided with high-quality medical care. If you’re wondering what the difference between an embryo and a fetus is, it’s simple. For the first 8 weeks, the offspring is called an embryo. Afterwards, it is known as a fetus until birth. The third and final trimester runs from week 29 to 40, after which you can say hello to a gorgeous little human and completely forget about the arduous process of bringing them into the world. If you knew all this already, I guarantee there are a few more pregnancy facts that will shock you.

Featuring beloved forgotten favourite stories Mary-Mary is a collection of charming and delightful stories designed for younger, emergent readers. First released in 1957, this is a lovingly restored edition complete with original illustrations. Funny and heartwarming tales sure to make a perfect Christmas stocking filler for readers young and old.
A Piece of Passion from Emily Thomas, Publisher
I've got to say that, without hesitation, everyone here at Hot Key Book sighed in enchantment just looking at the original covers for Joan G. Robinson's MARY-MARY books. What's not to love about a tiny, blonde troublemaker? After all, we've all known one of those - one or two of us may have been such a child ourselves.
The delightful Mary-Mary transcends generations in that she is inquisitive, happy, sad, good, naughty - and she lives in a family of mum, dad and siblings, and her escapades and her preoccupations are timeless. Mary-Mary's adventures offer nostalgia to the parent who reads them aloud to a child, and comfort and identification - and a lot of smiling - to the child who listens. Charmingly preserved in its 'original packaging', Mary-Mary is a gift in so many ways. A book to treasure, cherish and pass on...
Mary-Mary by Joan G. Robinson
This special edition includes the first book of the series (Mary-Mary), as well as its sequel, More Mary-Mary. Featuring beloved forgotten favourite stories such as Mary-Mary Goes Visiting, Mary-Mary's Handbag, Mary-Mary Goes Away And Mary-Mary Is A Surprise, this anthology follows the misadventures of Mary-Mary (so nicknamed due to her contrary nature!), a little girl who knows rather a lot more than her four older brothers and sisters give her credit for, thank you very much.

The documentary is about the journey of the Detroit Pistons to two World Championships. It's an excellent film, giving different views from the players who participated on the court. It reminds me of gladiators discussing the battles they survive. And to me, all of them became better players.
Considered the most controversy team, the Pistons attacked their opponents physically and mentally. I love the team because they dethrone the legendary glamour knights (the Lakers and Boston Celtics). So much drama with player against player, player against coach, and players and coaches against referees. The drama unfolded like Dynasty and Dallas rolled into one.
I grew up in Detroit. The city suffered from a high crime rate, high unemployment, an annual Devil Night fires. Detroiters fought the crime and fires through neighborhood watch and organized groups like SOSAD. The journey to the championships was a needed distraction.
The 30 for 30 Bad Boys is a delight to watch. It brings good memories back when you focus on the games and the drama.

Giving the ever-increasing energy and raw material demand as a result of global economy growth, revisiting the traditional reactor configuration designs (which are considered to be the heart of chemical industries) can significantly reduce the capital and operational costs while addressing the larger market demand for chemicals. The spherical-reactor geometry is an attractive alternative design to traditional tubular reactors due to its lower pressure drop (which is due to feed distribution over a larger outer surface area in spherical reactors compared to the cross sectional area in conventional tubular reactors) and recompression costs as well as construction material investment (reduced wall thickness to half). This review summarizes numerical modeling and experimental research on spherical reactors from 1958 to date. Several configurations of spherical reactors have been described and categorized. A review has been performed on modeling results of numerous arrangements and combinations of tubular and spherical reactors for industrial-scale reforming processes. The superiority of spherical packed bed reactors is further discussed and additional recommendations are provided to be considered in future research. As a general conclusion, spherical reactors could be considered as a potential candidate for pilot and industrial scale reactors due to their cost-effective designs and flexibilityof operation conditions.

- A taquero who washes the cloth with which he cleans dishes and tables in a puddle gets burned.
- A video of rats in a Hibachi restaurant in Atlanta is also posted.
- The disgusting event happened in Álvaro Obregón in Mexico.
Two new disgusting events were denounced by users on social networks, one of them happened in Mexico when a taquero washed a cloth in a puddle on the street, while the other took place in the United States, when a user caught some rats in the dining room of the buffet of a Hibachi restaurant.
Outraged users have revealed a practice that they have considered “disgusting”, a young Mexican taquero was caught while he washed a cloth with which he then cleaned dishes and tables, in a puddle that was on the sidewalk where he sells his food, according to Cultura colectiva news and Newscast.
RATS IN HIBACHI
Through the Facebook page of our reporter Mario Guevara from MundoHispánico, a video was replicated in a Hibachi restaurant. Guevara wrote the following: “One of my followers on Facebook sent me this video and reported that she went to eat at the Hibachi restaurant on Buford Hwy. She came across rats in the middle of the dining room.”
And he added about Hibachi: “The truth is that it does not surprise me, because in DeKalb County the authorities are very negligent. That here in Gwinnett, the business would be closed, I assure you. On the other hand, it is nothing new that Asian restaurants and buffets have this level of uncleanliness and not to mention the labor exploitation of their workers who are usually Hispanic and if they do not try to look in the kitchen and they will be convinced. On the other hand, the Chinese do not support our community. How many Chinese have you seen in a Mexican restaurant? But look at the Latinos, we fill their businesses. Well, personally, I haven’t been going to those places for years ”.
“I HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT”
Immediately people began to comment on the fact of the rat in a Hibachi restaurant in Atlanta: “How disgusting I once went to a zaxbys that is near Plaza las Américas and Abian many large cockroaches died on the floor, there was never seen something like this here, it was very disgusting, I never go back to that place it’s too dirty ”.
Someone else reported on the page: “A man almost got a rat on his plate near our table. This happened on Saturday afternoon and the administration of the place did not do anything about it nor did they apologize or return the money for the food or anything. To see the video click here.
Rats in restaurant: COMPLAINT ON NETWORKS
The disgusting event happened in the mayor’s office of Álvaro Obregón in Mexico City, and it quickly circulated on social networks, as a complaint, to prevent people from going to that place that obviously does not comply with health standards.
But the audiovisual material also served to question the hygiene measures that these types of businesses have, which do not have the necessary facilities to keep their space clean, in addition to the lack of care of the employees or owners, in this case the taquero.
Rats in restaurant: REQUEST REVIEW
That is why users issued a warning not to go to that post that is located in the Desierto de los Leones road in the town of Tepepan and also for health personnel to come to make a review.
In the video you can see a taco wearing a green shirt, cap and jeans, who is at a taco stand in a corner, at one point wiping the table with a cloth, while passersby approach. To see the video click here.
Rats in restaurant: CRITICIZE DIRT
Suddenly the Twitter users on the Telediario account gave their opinion on the event and one wrote the following about the taquero: “That’s why I don’t usually eat on the street: I’ve gone to the Red Cross,” so he launched a kind of alert.
Another person criticized that even with all the tests people do not even notice that: “And I assure you that it has a good number of people swallowing there”, “Mend … disgusting !!!! Trash of being human ”, expressed another of the users in the social network.
Rats in a restaurant: PEOPLE DO NOT CARE
And it is that the taquero cleaned one of the tables and then assumes that nobody sees him, turns around and throws the cloth on a dirty puddle, wets it, lifts it and squeezes it, while two people are already behind him.
However, this was not an impediment so that the man did not care and returned to the position to do other work. Internet users ask authorities to make an inspection so that they comply with health regulations.
SUPERMARKET DOES NOT ‘SING BAD THE RANCHERAS’
In another disgusting fact, it must be remembered that in March, through Tik Tok, a citizen denounced the appearance of baby rats among the vegetable displays in a supermarket, apparently in central Mexico, it was published in the news portals of Hoy Estado and Plano Informativo.
The video went viral and caused repulsion among Internet users who expressed their discomfort at this carelessness of the managers of the store. In the material, at least 4 baby rats are seen in the foreground in pink, without their eyes still opening, among ginger, broccoli and avocados. Filed under: Rats in restaurant To see the video click here
According to these information portals, it was the Tik Tok user @ joealvarez16 who uploaded the video of the baby rats in the supermarket, while the fruits and vegetables were on a display. Even in the video you can see customers choosing their food while he records the disgusting moment and at the end he zooms in on an advertisement for the company and the price of vegetables.
On the Hoy Estado page, people reacted: “How horrible! I like to buy there, but reverend ASCO, I don’t know if the vegetables and fruits are covered before closing, they will be there in the whole store and in how many supermarkets and markets it will not be the same ”. Filed Under: Rats in Restaurant
ANOTHER GROSS CASE
Until that moment, no authority from the store made any statement about the Tik Tok video in which they denounced the appearance of baby rats in the supermarket. The Tik Tok video in which the appearance of baby rats among the vegetables in a supermarket was reported, recalled a similar event that was exhibited in December last year.
They were workers at a Chipotle restaurant in Manhattan, New York, who exposed the appearance of a horde of rats and claimed that four employees were bitten, according to information provided by the New York Post news portal. Filed Under: Wash rag in puddle
“IT’S PURE CHAOS”
Then he added: “We are all scared, it is quite common for some of my co-workers to start screaming out of nowhere and we do not know what is happening. It’s pure chaos every time a rat appears ”. This complaint occurred at the height of the coronavirus pandemic and at a time when restrictions were tightened by the increases in Covid-19 cases.
One of the first reactions of the owners occurred when they closed the place because the rats destroyed the wiring of the place. The rat-infested Chipotle Mexican restaurant is located on Broadway near West 169th Street in Washington Heights. Filed Under: Rats in Restaurant
THEY TRIED EVERYTHING
From before, the employees had fought a real fight against the rodents that do not leave the place and every day they become a headache. The workers tried everything to end the plague, even attacking the rats with brooms and crushing them with boxes.
However, these methods did not manage to end the horde, but the employees were satisfied and launched an accusation, to see if the administration would heed their complaints to keep the place clean and provide good service. Filed Under: Rats in Restaurant


Unai Emery has asked Arsenal’s supporters to have confidence in him as he embarks on a long-term rebuilding process in North London.
The ex-PSG boss’s first season in charge broken in a chastening 4-1 defeat to Chelsea in the Europa League final in Baku on Wednesday night.
The game represented their last chance to qualify for next season’s Champions League, after a fifth-place finish in the Premier League.
Emery accredited that a place in Europe’s premier club competition was an ambition, he hadn’t achieved, but said that the Gunners had progressed in his first season.
“Really the first target has not been achieved this year, but I think we are closer, firstly in the Premier League, and second in this competition, playing the final.
“Next year is a big challenge for us to take one more step on our way, in our will with the young players.

In the wake of Pat. Kirill’s rather interesting visit to Poland, we have seen some fallout. It appears that the rather antagonistic Greek Catholics of Ukraine have suddenly decided it is necessary to pursue ecumenical dialogue with the MP.
What makes this so interesting, is that, up to this date, the main issue that has held back MP ecumenical relations with the Vatican has been the issue of the Greek Catholic Uniates. In Antioch it is no issue, as Antioch is openly in communion with numerous other heretical groups (including the Melkites); Alexandria shares a similar position, and Romania has concelebrations with Uniate clergy on an ongoing basis. However, the MP has long sought after the coveted prize of the Uniates; they are the key to the MP union with Rome.
However, it seems the supposedly ‘non-ecumenical’ meeting of Pat. Kirill with the Polish Roman Catholic leader Abp. Jozef Michalik, has led to statements by the Uniate Patriarch of Ukraine. With Pat. Kirill pushing for closer relations with the Vatican and it’s subordinate churches, like the Polish Roman Catholic Church, it seems a door has been opened up for a resolution to purely power issues that have troubled the MP.
If the issue of the Ukraine can be resolved to the MP’s satisfaction, there will no longer be any pretense on the MP’s part to intercommunion with Rome. The nature of such heretical actions matters not a wit to the Sergianist leaders. The MP has no concern for theology of God; it’s ‘theology’ is that of its true ‘god’, power. And, unfortunately, by power, I mean the Devil.

Since scientists launched the first components for the International Space Station in 1998, the continuing challenge has been how to efficiently send cargo and structures into space to keep it going.
The objects sent must fit inside or on a rocket, survive conditions during takeoff with three to nine times the gravity of Earth and hold up against harsh environments outside the Earth’s atmosphere.
To survive the rocky ride, they are often built much stronger — and at a much higher cost — than needed to survive once they reach the vacuum of space.
But one Bay Area company is working to overcome those obstacles.
Made in Space, at Moffett Field in Mountain View, made history in 2014 when company officials remotely printed small, 3-D objects — such as ratchets and containers — in zero-gravity conditions using its machine aboard the International Space Station.
Now the company has embarked on a mission to do away with the need to send structures from Earth at all. Within five years, its aim is to advance its 3-D printing technology enough to build structures in space.
Made in Space has teamed up with NASA for a project called Archinaut. If successful, the result will be a manufacturing system capable of producing large reflector satellites or trusses similar to those that already make up large parts of the space station.
“A rocket is like a meat grinder and everything in space has to survive it,” said Andrew Rush, president of Made in Space. “We are forced to over-engineer. By building things in space we can eliminate that design concern.”
Raw materials will still need to be sent from Earth to make the structures, but that’s much easier to do than the current method of building finished goods and then launching them, Rush said.
In addition to overcoming the design limitations and high costs of current practice, the project will open the door for quicker space development, Rush said. And an intriguing long-term possibility is the use of space junk or natural space resources.
“We are very interested in how we could use space materials that are discarded or old,” Rush said. “We have recyclers that can reconstitute those into feedstock to create new things. We can scale that up and take old satellites, for example, and use those to create new systems.”
To align with NASA’s plan to send humans to an asteroid by 2025 and Mars in the 2030s, the company is also looking for ways to use resources that naturally exist outside of Earth’s sphere — on Mars and on asteroids for example — for its manufacturing needs.
The initial prototype for the company’s in-space manufacturing system, with its three robotic arms and a 4-foot-wide octagonal-prism-shaped body, looks more like a strange science-fiction depiction of the future than a large-scale manufacturing machine.
Yet that future is not far off. Full use of the system is said to be just five years away, with the ultimate goal to be able to manufacture items much larger than the machine itself.
“The first thing we’re focused on are basic structures of a spacecraft,” said Steve Jurczyk, associate administrator for NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate. “That is the hardest thing to get to survive the launch environment.”
Scientists within the Archinaut project will begin their work by testing early parts of the technologies, Rush said.
“The first 24 months are focused on doing some very strong technical demos,” he said. “Thereafter we will actually build and do a flight demo of the system.”
Though the company has mastered printing small, three dimensional objects in zero gravity on board the International Space Station, officials said manufacturing larger items in space poses unique impediments.
“Some of the challenges we have to overcome are the absence of air, the widely varying temperature environment and atomic oxygen and radiation,” said Mike Snyder, Made in Space chief engineer. “We have to be very methodical in our material selection … in order to make sure the structures survive.”
The Archinaut project is possible through a partnership with NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate, which gave Made in Space a $20-million, two-year contract to get its technology into the space station for demonstrations.
Made in Space also brought in companies Northrop Grumman, to provide expertise in electronic interfaces and heat analysis, and Oceaneering Space Systems, to design and build the machine’s arms.
Officials will take what they learn from first round of technical demonstrations and work to refine the technology and move forward from there.
Last month, Made in Space sent an advanced commercial version of its 3-D printer to the space station. Once set up and put online, the printer would allow anyone — businesses or individuals — to print objects in the International Space Station from a computer on Earth.
In addition to manufacturing parts for the International Space Station, Made in Space’s manufacturing machine would also allow public or private companies to build items such as satellites outside of Earth’s atmosphere.
The overall idea for the project is to slowly open up the possibilities of what humans can produce and do in space.
“If we are going into the final frontier, we need the things to settle that frontier,” Rush said. “Archinaut is one of those tools.”

The Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed has urged Nigerians to see the prevailing recession in the national economy as the best opportunity for self and national discovery.
Governor Ahmed made the call when the Emir of Borgu in Niger State, Muhammed Sani Dantoro, paid him a visit at the government lodge in Ilorin, the state capital.
He noted that since the recession came with a lot of economic and social challenges, it was important that Nigerians remained strengthened and focused on the need to overcome the recession.
He recalled that many developed countries of the world, including the United States of America, Germany, Canada, Spain and Ireland, have had recession and they all came out of it stronger, adding that nothing should make the Nigerian experience different.
The Governor suggested that to hasten the recovery, diversification of the economy through agricultural development is the panacea.
“We must take advantage of God-given opportunities.
“This is the best time to do it. When you are in a recession, take advantage of yourselves and move on as a country,” he said.
Students of various institutions under the aegis of National Association of Kwara State Students have staged a demonstration to the Government House, Ilorin for non-payment of five years bursary by the State Government.
The students, in their numbers, stormed the gate of the Government House, demanding to see Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed address them on why their allowances had not been paid for nearly five years.
Carrying placards bearing various inscriptions, the students noted that while other states were paying 20,000 Naira, Kwara State could only afford the regular 5,000 Naira.
They alleged that nearly 500 Million Naira was budgeted for the payment in the 2016 budget and yet the government had continued to deny them their rights.
The security operatives on hand pleaded and ensured that they maintain peace.
Reacting, the State Commissioner for Information, Mahmud Jeigbe, said that the allegation of not being paid for five years is exaggerated as it was paid some years ago.
He explained that the economic situation of the country caused the delay.
Th government, he noted was aware of the need to pay and would surely do so when a committee set up by the Governor to look at the issue finishes its assignment.
As the students wait for the conclusion of the assignment on the issue of bursary, the education sector, according to the Commissioner, would continue to be given paramount attention by the Kwara state government.
Nearly 60 houses have been destroyed in Omu Aran and Egosi Ile communities, Kwara state by a rainstorm which lasted for 45 minutes leading to the massive loss of properties and government structures.
The residents of Omu Aran, Irepodun local government and Egosi Ile in Oke Ero local government of Kwara state have lamented the destruction of their homes and loss of properties which was caused a rainstorm.
The rainstorm which lasted for 45 minutes affected the palace of the immediate past and the private residence of the reigning Olomu of Omu Aran. The oldest clinic, churches, and houses of two widows were also not spared.
The storm also uprooted electric cables, trees and damaged walls.
At Egosi Ile in Oke Ero local government, a 10 minute drive from Omu Aran, the roofs of nearly 20 houses were blown off on the same day.
Most of the houses had their roofs shattered and thrown several meters away from their houses.
The victims said that no lives were lost and have started the reconstruction and renovation of affected buildings; while the aged and the poor have called on the government to come to their aid.
The traditional ruler who was visibly shaken by the unfortunate incident said that great efforts would be needed to resettle most of the victims who are poor.
The state government has however assured that it will address the situation after assessing the extent of the damages.
President Goodluck Jonathan and governors of the north met last night on security issues. The meeting also had in attendance Vice President Namadi Sambo and some senior aides to the president.
17 governors in the north were present. They include governors Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano), Idris Wada (Kogi), Seidu Dakingari (Kebbi), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Tanko Al-Makura (Nasarrawa), Patrick Yakowa (Kaduna), Jonah Jang (Plateau), Isa Yuguda (Bauchi), Ibrahim Geidam (Yobe), Kashim Shettima (Borno), Isa Yuguda (Bauchi) and Gabriel Suswam (Benue).
Represented by their deputies were: Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara), Muritala Nyako (Adamawa), Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara), Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe) and Ibrahim Shema (Katsina).
The governors of Taraba and Sokoto states were absent.
The governor of Niger state who spoke to State House correspondents said the agenda was on security, and how to tackle flooding issues in the north.
He said the flooding had drastically affected food production in the North and the meeting deliberated on how to mitigate the disaster.
Aliyu said the meeting also discussed generally on issues of wealth creation, employment generation and measures to reduce the poverty ratio in the region.
“Generally we discussed a gamut of issues and problems that need to be solved by the Federal, the States, the Local governments and relevant NGOs.
“Poverty and lack of job should not be the foundation for other problems,’’ he said.

Part of our Language Arts curriculum for this year includes keeping an artist's sketchbook--not for drawings, but for words. A place to record thoughts or ideas that grab our imaginations so we can have a place to go for inspiration when a writing assignment is given.
I naturally do this in my journal, jotting down words or phrases or ideas that tickle my fancy.
Things from books like Island of the Blue Dolphins. What would my secret name be? What would it be like to be all alone on an island? What would I do? How would I survive? How would I keep hope alive?
Things from places we've been, like Yellowstone or the Grand Tetons. What would it have been like to be one of the 50 carpenters who spent the winter at Yellowstone building the Old Faithful Inn? What would it have been like to live on Mormon Row in the Tetons, to have this barn be my barn? What would summers be like? Winters?
Or this barn?
Houses always inspire me. If this were my cabin, what would I want in it? How would I decorate it? Who would I invite for the weekend? Rag rugs and rocking chairs, for sure, not to mention lots and lots of puzzles!
Things from places we pass on the road. Who lives here in the middle of nowhere? What does she do all day? Is she lonely? What would my life be like if I lived here?
Treasures in antique stores--Whose was it? Who made it? What's the story behind it?
Old photographs--Who are they? What did they love? What did they fear? What were their dreams?
The bunnies in the yard--How would I write their stories? What are their adventures?
People from the stories of Scripture--What happened to the woman at the well five years later? What about the rest of Tamar's life?
What kinds of things spark your imagination?
*That's Anne (with an "e")--of Green Gables, of course. If you're not friends with her, you need to be. Talk about imagination!

Mesotherapy consists in injecting homeopathic medicine under the skin.
- Originally this method was used to treat pain by injecting anti inflammatory medication, in particular for sports injuries.
- For the treatment of weight loss, mesotherapy has become trendy, but is very expensive and it's efficiency has never been proved.
- Doctors give injections once or twice a week for several months, for which the fees can mount up a few thousand pounds.
- The results can be poor for weight loss.
- It is unlikely you will be told what products are injected to help with weight loss and they can be a mixture of vitamins, vasodilator agents and unknown drugs.
Dangers of mesotherapy
Mesotherapy can sometimes be dangerous.
In April 2007, 13 women and a man suffered with abscesses caused by the mesotherapy injections intended to dissolve their cellulite. Although it was carried out by a doctor, unfortunately they acquired rare hospital-acquired infections, which required surgical treatment.

In his last concerts in Seville, Spain, and Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Asier Polo has attended several media, including two interviews for television which are now available on YouTube (and also down below).
In both of them, Asier Polo had the opportunity to cover different topics, providing his most personal vision about music, emotion, his instrument, the stages, his day to day, the pedagogy or his present and future projects, among many others.
On the occasion of his concerts with the Baroque Orchestra of Seville at the Old Music Festival (FeMÀS) in the capital of Andalusia, which were a great success for critics and audiences, Leonardo Sardiña interviewed the cello soloist for the program “Encuentros” of the Andalusian radio-television Canal Sur.

I am an expressive, outspoken and creative woman, enjoying all that life has to offer.
I love to laugh, entertain, enjoy gorgeous scenery... live music (R&B, mainly), hugs, deep discussions, plus the usual: travel, movies, theatre. And I admit that I enjoy puttering around the internet, finding out whatever I find out.
I have the requisite joint aches and a twinge here and there, but I do like walking, dancing and go to Zumba every so often.
It would be great to meet a positive, empathic, open communicator (2-way, without prompting) who loves life and has the scars and bumps to prove it - and is not afraid to be vulnerable. I'd like to connect with a collaborator, intelligent, a sounding board, partner, lover, with a sense of humour, interested in human dynamics (their own, and other peoples'). Integrity is very important - do what you say you'll do... or why say you'll do it? And while we're on my wish list, good grooming is also a good thing.
I love music. When it gives me happy feet, I just gotta dance. Hope you enjoy dancing too. (It's usually more fun with a partner, lol.)
Have fun and be well and, as my 92 year old father still says, "wear a hat".


Touch Bar Turned Into A Fully Functional Piano
A fun app turns the device into a tactile instrument that can easily switch between musical sounds
Apple's new app for their MacBook Pro is going to make the keyboard even more useful for everyday functions like video editing and purchase payment. However, for the musically-inclined, a new touch bar app called Touch Bar Piano will even let them play 128 instruments!
The app lets users play songs just like a miniature keyboard, with a set of keys that play notes when tapped. What's more, the program also lets users change between different brass and string instruments.

The Federal Government on Thursday disagreed with the organised Labour on its threat to declare a nationwide strike in the next 14 days over the alleged failure of the government to implement the memorandum of understanding reached with the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress in October 2023.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, in an interview with The PUNCH, asked the unions to exercise restraint and allow the government to address their grievances.
He said, “We are calling on Labour to exercise patience. We will look at the grey area. Let them come and speak with us in the interest of our nation.
“We cannot afford to go on strike at this time. So we call on them and we are always to partner Labour for the progress and development of our country.”
Idris, however, declined to comment on whether the government would seek a court injunction to stop the strike.
After the removal of the fuel subsidy by President Bola Tinubu on May 29, 2023, the labour unions reached a 16-point agreement with the Federal Government on measures to cushion the pains of the subsidy removal on workers.
Among other things, the government agreed to pay N35,000 to all federal workers beginning from last September pending when a new national minimum wage is expected to have been signed into law.
The resolution provided that the wage award would be paid to the federal workers for six months while states were encouraged to extend the same benefit to their workers.
The Federal Government also pledged to provide 100 CNG buses nationwide to ease the high transportation costs.
The unions had threatened to declare a nationwide strike on October 3 but the move was suspended on the condition that the wage award, cash transfer, and some other resolutions must be implemented within 30 days effective from the day the MoU was signed.
However, the NLC and TUC in a joint statement on Thursday, accused the government of failing to fulfil its promises five months after the MoU was inked.
Labour faults govt
In a statement signed by the leaders of the two labour unions, Joe Ajaero and Festus Usifo, the organised labour expressed sadness that despite the passage of time, “The majority of these crucial agreements remain unmet or negligibly addressed, indicating a blatant disregard for the principles of good faith, welfare and rights of Nigerian workers and Nigerians.”
The organised Labour said it was giving the Federal Government 14 days from February 9 to February 14, 2024, to fulfil its part of the MoU with the unions.
The labour unions said that the agreement reached with the Federal Government was focused on addressing the massive suffering and the general harsh socioeconomic consequences of “the ill-conceived and ill-executed IMF/World Bank-induced hike in the price of PMS and the devaluation of the naira.’’
The movement said the dual policies had dire economic consequences for the masses and workers of Nigeria.
The statement read in part, “Widespread hunger is now ravishing millions of Nigerians, with the workers purchasing power significantly eroded, while insecurity has assumed an increasing dimension.
“Nigerians are left wondering where their next meals will come from and what tomorrow might bring. The level of panic and anxiety amongst the populace has become nightmarish unfortunately, in the midst of all these, it appears our government is bereft of appropriate measures to ameliorate the huge burden it has foisted on the citizenry.
“We wish to state that these agreements, which encompass a wide range of issues crucial to the well-being of Nigerian masses and workers, have not been honoured as pledged by the Federal Government.
“From wage awards, palliative adjustments to improved access to public utilities; to the meddlesomeness in the internal affairs of the National Union of Road Transport Workers and the interference by the Lagos State Government in union activities, the case of illegal and unlawful proscription of Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria.
“The government’s failure to uphold its end of the bargain is deeply regrettable and unacceptable to the Working people and the citizenry.”
The unions added, “Constrained by this development and recognizing the urgency of the situation and the imperative of ensuring the protection and defence of the rights and dignity of Nigerian workers and citizens, the NLC and TUC hereby issue a stern ultimatum to the Federal Government, to honour their part of the understanding within 14 days from tomorrow (today) the 9th day of February 2024.”
The Deputy General Secretary of the Nigerian Union of Banks, Insurance and Finance Institution Employees, Shola Aboderin, said his union members would join the industrial action.
“We are an affiliate of Nigeria Labour Congress, and it would sound irresponsible of NUBIFIE if we don’t join the strike after the 14-day ultimatum,” he said.
According to Aboderin, the members of the union have been lamenting the hardship in the country.
He said, “Recently, NUBIFIE issued a 14-day ultimatum to Heritage Bank that if they don’t add anything to the salaries of our members, NUBIFIE cannot guarantee our members would continue to work for them especially coming to work every day again which was on last week Thursday.”
Aboderin added that NUBIFIE was going to review the activities and the situation of things on Friday (today).
“We are going to join the strike, no doubt about that. The hardship is more on our members, they close late, and they are spending between 60 t0 70 per cent of their salaries on transportation.
“Banks will be the first union to down tools after the 14-day ultimatum,” he added.
Also, the President of the Air Transport Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, Illitrus Ahmadu, hinted that the union members would comply with the decision of the TUC leadership.
“Our union is affiliated with TUC, so they must have decided on an important national issue. The leadership of NLC and TUC must have agreed on that before issuing such an ultimatum.
“But the truth is once they make a decision, it is binding on the affiliates like us. As of now, we have not been informed, and the secretariat has not been informed. Once they make decisions like this they get us informed.
“I guess they are just reacting to the hardship in the land. It’s a natural thing and most especially now that agencies are struggling financially,’’ Ahmadu noted.
The Executive Secretary of the National Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers, Mr Bassey Essien, said the union would not join the strike.
However, Essien explained that the association’s LPG drivers would participate in the strike as members of the Petroleum Tanker Drivers, an arm of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers.
Essien also complained about the situation of things in the country as it affects the gas business.
“We have done our own share extensively nationwide to tell those in government, presidency, relevant authorities, the legislators, the press and all who care about the country that all is not well, especially the pains people are going through with cooking gas affordability,” he said.
The Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners said they would soon park their trucks if the government fails to address the hardship they are facing in doing their business.
NARTO National President, Lawal Othman, said though the association is not part of the NLC, the hardship facing its members would soon push them out of jobs.
NARTO is the umbrella organisation for all commercial vehicle owners in Nigeria engaged in the haulage of petroleum products, general cargoes, and the movement of passengers.
Othman said, “We are not members of NLC, but we have our own problems too. The hardship is much and that may force us to park our trucks. Everything is expensive, including spare parts and diesel. We are not making any profit, we will park our trucks.”
The Vice President of the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders, Mr Nnadi Ugochukwu, “We have not been notified but I assure you that we would join the strike if we are notified about it because everybody is feeling the pain, there is nobody in the country that is not feeling the hardship.”
The founder of the National Council of Managing Directors of Licensed Customs Agents, Mr Lucky Amiwero, complained about the economy which he said is in a bad state.
He admonished the government to find robust solutions, noting that an industrial action would have grave repercussions for the nation.
“The country is in a very bad state. So, the government should try and see how things could be done properly. A lot of things have gone bad. What the labor is saying is that the government should look into this holistically and find lasting solutions.
“Once labour goes on strike, it would affect everyone. You know my members are not under NLC but some maritime workers are under labour,’’ Amiwero said.
Meanwhile, Nigerian Muslims under the aegis of the Jama’atu Nasril Islam, have warned President Bola Tinubu against treating the economic hardship in the country with levity, declaring that Nigerians are truly hungry.
The JNI is led by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar lll, who is also the spiritual leader of Nigerian Muslims.
On Monday through Tuesday, angry youths and women took to the streets of Minna, the Niger State capital, and Kano to protest what they described as the rising cost of living.
Similar protests also erupted in Kogi and Ondo States.
Commenting on the economic situation, the organization in a statement issued by its Secretary-General, Prof. Khalid Abubakar-Aliyu on Thursday in Kaduna, asked the Federal Government to urgently address the challenges.
According to the JNI scribe, both the Federal and state governments needed to intervene before the situation worsened while demanding the immediate and unconditional release of those arrested during the Minna protest so as not to provoke Nigerians further.
The organization also frowned on hoarding and hiking the costs of essential goods and services, especially foodstuffs, especially as the Muslim Ramadan fast period was fast approaching.
The statement titled, ‘The need to address the inflation crisis in Nigeria,’ stated, “The current trying-time ordinary Nigerians are experiencing, occasioned by food insecurity, inflation, abject poverty and insecurity is distressing and calls for serious redress.
“The JNI under the leadership of His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, with all sense of responsibility calls on the Federal Government of Nigeria to urgently intervene over the difficulties Nigerians are passing through.
“This call is made over the excruciating pains citizens are airing in both print and electronic media, inclusive of social media, where in Minna, Niger State and Lokoja, Kogi State protests and other dissenting concerns were being raised.
“In the light of the troubling impact of hoarding and inflation on the availability and affordability of essential goods and services, particularly food items, the JNI is, therefore, compelled to raise its voice on the matter.
“We have been inundated with reports and pleas from ordinary Nigerians, expressing their anguish over the soaring prices of necessities.”
It added, “We urgently call on the FGN and state governments to intervene before the situation worsens. Likewise, all those arrested during the protests should be released and future recurrence be avoided through synergy and prompt interventions. This call has become necessary such that citizens would not be further provoked.’’
In a related development, the Niger State House of Assembly has commenced moves to establish the Price Control Board to regulate the price of essential commodities.
A bill for the PCB scaled first reading on Thursday following the presentation of the general principles of the bill by its sponsor, Alhaji Isa Etsugaie (APC-Agaie) at Thursday’s plenary.
Presenting the bill, Etsugaie said the board would the study market situation in the state to restructure the deteriorating supply and demand mechanism.
He added that the board would assess the delivery and distribution pattern of essential commodities to ensure that the people had a fair share of the commodities.
He said the board would also regulate the mode of distribution of essential commodities and monitor activities of the state supply company and other commercial organisations.
The lawmaker said the board would help to keep prices under continuous surveillance, interpret price movements, and relate them to other developments in the state economy.
He said the board would submit a report directly to the governor on the market situation all over the state among others.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the bill was thereafter, adopted by the house and passed through first reading.
Also, human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, on Thursday explained the rationale behind his suit against the Federal Government over the rising prices of commodities in the country.
Falana said the explanation became necessary following a move to challenge the order by the Federal High Court which directed the Federal Government to fix essential commodities by some lawyers.
A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Wednesday ordered the Federal Government to fix the prices of goods and petroleum products within seven days.
Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa specifically ordered the government to fix the price of milk, flour, salt, sugar, bicycles, and their spare parts, matches, motorcycles and their spare parts, motor vehicles and their spare parts as well as petroleum products, which includes diesel, Premium Motor Spirit and kerosene.
Falana in a statement said in justifying the exploitative status quo, some lawyers have said that the court order is not enforceable.
The senior lawyer explained that he approached the court to enforce the provisions of the Price Control Act.
He noted that the Price Control Act was enacted in 1977 by the ruling class based on the demand of the Nigerian people.
He stated, “The Price Control Act is an existing law that regulates and controls the prices of certain goods in Nigeria. The main purpose of this Act is to ensure that prices of essential goods remain affordable and accessible to the general public.
‘’It aims to prevent price exploitation and promote fair pricing practices. To control the prices of goods, the Federal Government established the Price Control Board, an agency under the Federal Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
‘’The Federal Government has also set up the Federal Consumer Protection Commission with the mandate of addressing consumers’ complaints, providing consumer education, and encouraging trade, industry, and professional associations to develop and enforce quality standards designed to safeguard the interests of consumers.”
Speaking further, the social crusader noted that in recent times, the Federal Government has stopped hiking electricity tariffs and telecom charges.
“Why has the NNPCL not controlling the prices of diesel and kerosene like the PMS (petrol)?” he questioned.
Speaking further, he noted, “If the FG could grant duty waivers of N16 trillion to Dangote, Honeywell, and co in five years, why is it difficult to control the prices of the goods imported into the country by the captains of industry?’’
“While lawyers and other privileged citizens can afford the rising cost of essential goods and services, the majority of poor people have been priced out of the market. Therefore, the Federal Government must intervene to control the prices of essential commodities in Nigeria,’’ Falana insisted.

Fraxinus angustifolia is a medium-sized, fast-growing, deciduous tree. It has a narrow, upright crown when young and broadens into a full, rounded canopy as it matures.
The most spectacular feature of this tree is the foliage. Throughout the summer, the narrow, serrated leaves are dark green and glossy providing dappled shade below. They really come into their own in the Autumn though when they turn brilliant hues of purple and wine-red.
Mature height: 15m
