Breaking: Students’ Association Apologises To Aisha Buhari Over Aminu Mohammed’s Arrest
Students’ Association Apologises To Aisha Buhari Over Aminu Mohammed’s Arrest
The National Association of Nigerian Students has apologised to Aisha Buhari, wife of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), over the arrest of a student of the Federal University, Dutse Jigawa, Aminu Mohammed, by the Nigeria Police.
Condemnations had trailed the reported arrest of Mohammed over a tweet on the First Lady. Notable Nigerians including social activist, Aisha Yesufu, knocked Aisha for allegedly using her power against the student.
While initial reports were that Mohammed was arrested by the Department of State Services, NANS revealed that he was rather arrested by the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, who traced Mohammed to Jigawa where he was picked up.
NANS in a statement on Tuesday by its President, Usman Barambu, apologised on behalf of the Nigerian students to the First Lady, while also calling for Mohammed’s release.
“The leadership of NANS received with concern the news of the unlawful arrest of Mohammed by the Nigeria Police on the instruction of Aisha Buhari. Upon receiving the news, I, Mohammed’s family and friends swung into action to trace the whereabouts of Mohammed. After some days of searching, we got the information that he was at the police unit in Wuse Zone 2. I met with Mohammed at the police custody.
“It was alleged that Mohammed some weeks back posted Aisha Buhari’s picture on Twitter with the caption “Su mama anchi kudin talakawa an koshi” (translated from Hausa to ‘the mother has gotten fatter by eating masses’ money’).
“Just like the normal way angry citizens have different ways of expression on the social media. On November 18, 2022, the police from Abuja tracked Mohammed to the Federal University Dutse and picked him without any written/verbal invitation or informing the school management or his family,” Barambu narrated.
The NANS President said Mohammed was taken straight to the Presidential Villa where he was allegedly brutalised, beaten, maltreated and humiliated by the police “on the orders of Aisha Buhari, after which he was unlawfully detained at a police facility at Wuse Zone II till date. I, alongside our team of lawyers, met with Mohammed at the police facility where he confirmed the incident to me. Until now, Mohammed has not been arraigned by any competent court of law or granted bail by the police.”
“We want to, on behalf of all the Nigerian students, tender our unreserved apology to the First Lady Aisha Buhari, for the action of Mohammed which might have caused her and her family pains. However, as leaders and public office holders, we must overlook some criticisms if we want to really forge ahead and do the right thing,” Barambu said.

My friend Tirzah pointed out in the comment section here that there is a new publication for/by/about fathers. Intrigued, I ponied up the fourteen dollars ($14!) to get the inaugural edition. I've now digested it and thought I'd share some reactions.
First of all, it's a beautiful object. Originating in the NYC DIY movement and highlighting "creative individuals whose work and lives are inseparable from their role as a parent", it's printed matte on heavy stock and features very good design and arresting images, mostly of fathers and children. While the photo subjects are refreshingly not model-level attractive, the composition of the photos really catches the eye.
Secondly, there's definitely a gap in the parenting publications out there. I remember being disappointed in early fatherhood that Parents magazine really should be called Mothers magazine. It really doesn't address fathers at all. So huzzah to KQ for stepping into the breach and making a dad mag.
Unlike a great music album that catches your attention by beginning with strong tracks, having the best song third in the lineup (check your record collection - true more often than not) burying the weak stuff in the middle and then finishing with something very satisfying, Kindling Quarterly's first issue starts off extremely weakly. It does finish in a sublime fashion, but oh! the start. Right inside the front cover, we find a lovely-to-look-at paragraph strong on the passive voice and weak on basic punctuation. The opening essay that follows features similar problems that smack of an editor who is not himself a reader. I would not have expected such laxness in the text from a publication that is so carefully crafted as an objet. Also, it's great to look different from other magazines out there, but why eschew bylines? Especially when the front of the book was so poorly written, I wanted to know who wrote each piece. I couldn't tell most of the time. The enterprise looked rotten at the core; lovely to look at but a product of our society's long slide into ignorance of the rules of language.
As I said, the quality of the writing and editing got noticeably better as the issue went along (wedding at Cana, anyone?). So let's call that an "opportunity for improvement". I really liked the Dan Funderburgh mash note/photo essay at the end, the interview with Joe Randazzo from Thing X (formerly of The Onion) and August Heffner's travelogue about how Turkish men love babies.>
I have no idea why it's called Kindling Quarterly, by the way. It never says.
Finally, I do hope that the first issue's Brooklyn-centric myopia dissipates over time. It's probably just the founders tapping their near network first. Needless to say, there are interesting dads who do not now and never have lived in hipster ground zero. The opening manifesto says that KQ hopes to be a place where "men's parental stories can proliferate" and says that "Done in an inclusive manner, surely only good can come of this proliferation." I'll take them at their word and believe that it's going to be more inclusive than Issue 1 looks.

DETROIT — Johnny Damon sent a low pitch over the right-field fence, a sweet stroke the New York Yankees have seen many times.
For the first time, Damon did it against New York as an ex-Yankee.
Damon hit a homer in his first game against the team that didn't re-sign him, helping the Detroit Tigers beat the Yankees 5-4 on Monday night.
“We've all seen him do that a lot,” New York manager Joe Girardi said. “Some of the time on our side and some of the time on the other side.”
Austin Jackson, a former Yankees prospect, gave Detroit a three-run lead in the second inning, and Phil Coke got two key outs against his former team after Damon's homer.
“Those guys were pumped up,” teammate Joel Zumaya said.
Damon, though, insisted he was not motivated to show the Yankees what they're missing.
“I'm not that kind of person,” he said.
Damon helped the Yankees win the World Series last year in the final season of his $52 million, four-year deal. He wanted a long-term deal at the same average salary, but the Yankees didn't value him that much and kept reducing their offer, claiming payroll constraints.
“I know forever I'll be linked with the 27th championship,” Damon said.
The Yankees took on a bigger salary when they acquired center fielder Curtis Granderson from Detroit in a three-way trade with Arizona, sending prospect Jackson and Coke to Detroit.
At least short term, the deal has been in the Tigers' favor.
Mark Teixeira's two-run home run pulled New York within a run in the third inning, but it blew chances to score more by stranding nine.
“We had chances to come back, but we had some missed opportunities,” Girardi said.
Detroit's Brad Thomas gave up two runs in three innings. Eddie Bonine (3-0) pitched 2 1-3 scoreless innings. Zumaya gave up two runs on three hits and two walks after pitching well for 1 2-3 innings.
Coke retired two before Ryan Perry got Derek Jeter to line out to end the eighth with two on and down a run. Jose Valverde struck out the side for his ninth save.
Valverde fanned Nick Swisher, Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez much to the delight of 34,365 fans.
Brennan Boesch hit a two-run single in the first after Rodriguez's two-out throwing error.
“That hurt quite a bit because it moved up two runners and then the next guy gets a base hit and they both scored,” New York's starting pitcher Sergio Mitre said. “Alex made a nice diving stop, and if he's able to get off a good throw, we're out of the inning, so that was tough.”
Boesch added an RBI triple in the seventh to give the Tigers a 5-2 lead.
Detroit needed the cushion.
The Yankees loaded the bases with no outs against Zumaya in the eighth and former Tiger Marcus Thames hit an infield single to pull within two runs and chase the Detroit reliever. Brett Gardner hit an RBI groundout against Coke and Randy Winn popped out against him.
With the crowd on its feet for a full-count pitch, right fielder Magglio Ordonez made a sliding snag of Jeter's liner near the right-field line.
“It was a game-saver,” Detroit manager Jim Leyland said.
Mitre (0-1) gave up four runs — three earned — on five hits and two walks over 4 1-3 innings.
Damon — who signed an $8 million, one-year deal — hit a solo shot in the fifth to put Detroit ahead 4-2 and chase Mitre.
“Johnny likes playing in big games, so it's not a surprise that he had a big hit,” Jeter said. “He's done that for us a lot of times and he's done it against us a lot of times.”
NOTES: Thomas took Dontrelle Willis' spot in the rotation and Leyland hopes Willis can pitch out of the bullpen Tuesday. ... The Tigers have the area's undivided attention in early May for the first time since 2001, when the Red Wings had a first-round exit in the NHL playoffs and the previous year the Pistons weren't in the NBA playoffs. ... The Tigers honored late broadcaster Ernie Harwell during a pregame ceremony. ... Mitre made his first start of the season, filling in for Andy Pettitte, whose elbow is expected to be healthy enough for him to pitch Saturday.

It is important to note that PET bottles (#1 plastic) — the ones used for packaging most bottled water — are meant for one time use, not for reuse, so they should not be considered as a viable long-term reusable bottle option.
While it is one of the safer plastics, PET is not meant for repeated use. Bottles made from this porous plastic are difficult to clean and can harbor bacteria, especially if reused multiple times. Additionally, studies suggest that with repeated use, PET containers may release di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), an endocrine-disrupting compound and probable human carcinogen, as well as antimony, an eye, skin and lung irritant at high doses (Masterson, 2006). Studies also found that toxin concentrations increase the longer the water is in the bottle (Masterson, 2006).
Fountains. Since water fountains already exist in many buildings, they are an easy alternative to bottled water. There are four basic types of drinking water fountains:
Box-shaped floor models that stand alone or are connected to a wall
Models with a pedestal base (also known as ‘bubblers’)

Policing the medical profession
While outgoing General Medical Council president Sir Donald Irvine attacks 'arrogant' doctors, in the real world medics are already on their knees.
- ‘A community has lost a good doctor, a family has lost a husband, a father, over what? Just hysteria. It’s like a force of evil came into the house and took over, and ended up with someone destroying themselves.’ Julie Evans, whose husband Philip, a GP in South Wales committed suicide in June after becoming depressed as a result of a complaint about his treatment of a patient who died suddenly. (Guardian, 22 November)
For Mrs Evans, ‘Philip was the classic victim of the blame culture that now pervades our society’. The widespread conviction that when something goes wrong somebody must be to blame undoubtedly has a corrosive effect on social relationships, particularly those between doctors and patients. Mrs Evans singles out the NHS complaints procedure that encouraged the bereaved family to channel their anger against their doctor, while subjecting him to ‘daunting and harrowing’ delays and inquisitions, with damaging leaks to the local press. As a result, Dr Evans lost confidence and self-belief, both of which are, as his wife rightly observes, ‘prerequisites of a good doctor’. He became depressed, contacted the British Medical Association’s counselling phoneline, and ultimately threw himself over the cliffs at Rhosilli on the Gower peninsula.
But, as the statement by outgoing General Medical Council (GMC) president Sir Donald Irvine quoted above indicates, the problems facing today’s doctors go much further than the damage inflicted by bureaucratic and insensitive complaints procedures and sensation-hungry newspapers. With an abrasive attack on ‘a minority’ of doctors whose professional practices are ‘dangerous, offensive or otherwise unacceptable’, Irvine wants to rally public support for a comprehensive programme through which all doctors will be obliged to demonstrate their fitness to practise. He also wants to put the ‘patient instead of the professional’ at the heart of the health service, insisting that patients should be the ‘ultimate arbiter of NHS quality’.
Irvine’s populist rhetoric finds a ready resonance with a public opinion already inflamed by reports about Harold Shipman, the scandals at the Bristol children’s heart surgery unit and Alder Hey hospital in Liverpool, and an apparently endless series of stories of abusive and incompetent doctors emerging from the hearings of the GMC.
Who could object to patients having a bigger say in the NHS and doctors being taken down a peg or two and forced to keep abreast of new developments? Well, I believe that both patients and doctors should object. A closer look at these proposals suggests that both are likely to be the losers in a new culture of state control over medical practice.
In addition to the complaints procedures that now flourish at every level of the health service, the government has recently announced plans to introduce a comprehensive system of patient advocacy in every hospital trust. Though there has been some controversy over this scheme to displace the long-established community health councils with a more bureaucratic and centralised system, the plans appear to be moving ahead.
At the level of the GMC, lay representation has grown rapidly, effectively bringing the self-regulation of the medical profession to an end. Though reformers seem to assume that patient advocates and lay members provide some representation of the public, the fact that they are appointed by the authorities or the government means that they are more an instrument of official control than a mechanism of democratic accountability. Following the pattern of appointments to other such bodies, lay appointees are likely to be cronies of Tony or one of his lieutenants, selected for their loyalty to government policy.
Irvine’s enthusiasm for consumer sovereignty reflects a lack of understanding of the limitations of market forces in the regulation of professional relationships – and a lack of understanding of the history of the medical profession. In the nineteenth century, physicians regarded the market as a threat to both income and status, as they were forced to compete with diverse unscrupulous practitioners, and also to deal with attempts to turn them into mere employees. In response, doctors – in common with other aspiring professionals – tried to distinguish themselves from tradesmen and businessmen by claiming a commitment to a higher cause than vulgar commercial interests. As Paul Starr, historian of doctors in America, puts it:
‘In justifying the public’s trust, professionals have set higher standards of conduct for themselves than the minimal rules governing the marketplace and maintained that they can be judged under those standards only by each other, not by laymen.’ (1)
Whereas the market ideal is that the consumer rules, the ideal of a profession ‘calls for the sovereignty of its members’ independent, authoritative judgement’. From this perspective, a quack is a practitioner who tries to please his customers rather than his colleagues.
The call for the ’empowerment’ of patients is presented as a radical challenge to the medical profession, or at least to what Irvine characterises as its ‘deeply conservative rearguard’. In fact, it amounts to the surrender of the autonomy of the medical profession to state control and the surrender of its standards to the dictates of the market. But as many casualties of Britain’s private medical sector can confirm, the notion that ‘the customer is always right’ is not a reliable guarantee of quality in healthcare.
The fact that it is possible for a doctor to continue to practice for decades after qualification without ever opening a book or taking any other steps to keep up to date has long seemed indefensible. The difficulty lies in devising a system of appraisal that provides a meaningful guarantee of competence. Though this problem has occupied some of the greatest minds in the medical world over the past decade it is still far from being resolved. Who is qualified to assess doctors’ competence? Can doctors who opt to assess other doctors rather than continuing clinical work be considered reliable assessors? By what criteria should doctors be assessed? Who should draw up these criteria? What if a particular doctor considers them inappropriate to their practice?
All these questions, and many more – notably on the question of resources for appraisal when health service resources, especially in terms of medical personnel, are already overstretched – have dogged discussions over proposed systems of revalidation.
It is striking that the current debate assumes that public confidence in the medical profession depends on the introduction of a new system of regulation. From a historical perspective this is curious, because over the past century and more the prestige of the medical profession has risen dramatically, largely independently of the role of the GMC, which has long been a remote and ineffectual body, concerned largely with policing ‘bad’ doctors.
But just as public confidence in the medical profession was little affected by periodic scandals about corrupt or lecherous doctors, neither did it depend on the vigorous pursuit of such rogues by the GMC. The prestige of the medical profession had quite different – and until the past decade – quite secure foundations in the successes of scientific medicine and in the vitality of the doctor-patient relationship. The key change of recent years is that long-tolerated variations in styles of and standards of medical practice have suddenly been judged to be ‘unacceptable’. This judgement was made, at least in the first instance, not by the public or by the media, but by doctors themselves.
The independent general practitioner (GP), competent on qualification, symbolised the confidence of the medical profession in the nineteenth century. By contrast, the ‘never quite competent’ GP, one who requires continuous formal instruction and regulation, mentoring and monitoring, support and counselling, symbolises the abject state of the profession today. Far from being arrogant, paternalistic and complacent, today’s doctors have been so humbled that there is a risk that sentiments of self-doubt and insecurity will result in demoralised and defensive practice and seriously undermine their capacity to care for patients.
According to the mother of Michael Oliver, Dr Evans visited the family after his death and ‘got down on his hands and knees’ to apologise. Though this is disputed by Mrs Evans, it provides an apt image of the current plight of the medical profession and a striking contrast to the caricature offered by Donald Irvine.

Bitcoin price is very volatile. However, despite all that bitcoin is believed to be the new modern cryptocurrency, that will overtake fiat currencies in the near future. Or if that does not happen for some reason the chances the bitcoin becoming a preferred method of payment is very likely. However, before we go into the facts and the details about the bitcoin phenomena. I would like to begin with a bit of background.
Predominantly for the 19th and 20th centuries, the world’s most successful currencies were with a fixed value for gold, silver, and other precious metals. The creation of such a valuable connection between gold and money helped to attract investors gain confidence in the nation.
Nowadays, people need a new modern fast, and reliable way of payment where the costs are close to nothing. Bitcoin has started to shape the face of the internet and the way how we pay for our products and services. It cannot be counterfeited, however, it is possible to be spent on more than one place, but this would require a tremendous amount of computer power.
In another word, it is close to impossible to be counterfeited. Bitcoin seems to be the solution for all of the problems that appear to come on mind for every fiat paper-based currency controlled by the governments. However, its biggest disadvantage is volatility. We have observed some crazy and unpredictable behavior of cryptocurrency. Even only one negative tweet can drag the price down and bring chaos for many investors.
The Real Problem with the Paper Fiat Currencies
The problem with the paper fiat currencies is that soon or later the value of any paper currency has been inflated down to complete worthlessness. It is obvious that when people are involved in taking such decisions facing the supply and growth of the currency. Many unwanted rows of events will follow. However, I will leave this for you to decide and I will not speculate on the matter with paper currencies.
The best part about Bitcoin is that no government has direct influence over bitcoin growth and monetization, instead, the cryptocurrency is maintained by a decentralized network. If I have to explain this in English, this means that not only one person maintains the so-called ledger, instead, it is maintained by all participants at the same time. The hard decisions are taken by developers, not by politics.
What on Earth are Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash?
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. As from 1st of August 2017, the introduction of Bitcoin Cash came along, doubling the number of Bitcoins an individual owns. Bitcoin Cash is the newborn continuation of the Bitcoin project as peer-to-peer digital cash. This new term Bitcoin Cash is the fork of the Bitcoin chain ledger. The rules and the way it works has been re-written by the community behind. This project similarly to Bitcoin is decentralized, with no central bank or trusted third parties to limit its potential. Some of the promises given by the Bitcoin cash community are as follows:
- Fast as the Light: Fast transactions approved within seconds
- Reliable: A network that runs without any flows
- Low Fees: You can now send money globally for pennies
- Simple: Easy to use with no hassle
- Stable: Preferable payment system that has proven store of value
- Secure: Improved and more robust blockchain technology
The very simple reasons for the cryptocurrency to split into BCH and BTC on August 1st, 2017 are very simple. Some of the developers within the community disagreed with the original version peer-to-peer proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto. The original argument stated by the experts of Bitcoin Cash was the size of the block, which was limited to 1 MB size capacity. The original block size was deliberately designed to hold 1MB size. Predominantly for security reasons and leading advantage between competitors. There are currently ongoing talks between the developers to create another fork for bitcoin with a block size of 2MB. However, as already mentioned above this hides potential risks and drawbacks which leads many to disagree with the new fork. The argument is that if the block size is increased this means faster transactions and lower fees.
The only current drawback, which I believe will not take a long to change is Bitcoin’s expansive global exchange network. Bitcoin is currently available for trading across continents regardless of the pointed disadvantages that the cryptocurrency is currently facing. Bitcoin Cash is the new generation improved blockchain. Since its release, only a few major investors stepped up in the game of Bitcoin Cash. The full list is here.
What is the Real Reason for the Split?
This was causing initially huge problems not only for the users but for the developers too. The waiting time for a single transaction doubled, the fees involved in a single Bitcoin transaction also skyrocketed. Bitcoin was only able to process only 3 transactions per second. All of the issues above caused the cryptocurrency to devalue itself and investors quickly lost interest. However, despite the lost value from investors and the primitive plans for scaling-up and growth the cryptocurrency continues to surges.
Why Bitcoin Continues to Grow in Value?
Despite Bitcoin splitting into a second fork, the currency continues to see huge market value growth. The reasons for that are:
- The market is currently flooded with all types of cryptocurrencies and they are all come with different market value. Some of the cryptocurrencies have become more favorable than the others causing people to invest in different cryptocurrencies. Many people see the idea of the volatile Bitcoin cryptocurrency as an asset and investment. As you might know, the demand for the product on the market increases its value. However, this can quickly change and the value of the cryptocurrency will drop due to the demand. We all have witnessed the recent ICO ban in China and how almost 20% of the value was lost only within 24h. It took a while for bitcoin to recover back to $4,000. Then another unconfirmed news coming from China made the price drop below $4,000. The reason why China’s behavior is affecting bitcoin prices so intensively is that 81% of the mining pools are based in China due to the cheap power. The infographic shows the distribution of mining pools in each country.
Japan and China
- As of 1st April, Japan passed a law to legalize Bitcoin as a method of payment. It was a debate lasting months, which was going against money laundering and organized crime.
This bold move Japan undertook caused the cryptocurrency to sore rapidly. On the other side, this means, that Japan will have to change some of its current laws and banking system.
Chinese authorities have had long-lasting dislikes against Bitcoin. However, recent updates indicate that China once again has grown its tolerance against Bitcoin. The reason for the interest was caused by the big drop in the differences in the Bitcoin prices between the US and Chinese Exchanges. This suggests that for investors heading towards Bitcoins is less risky. However, despite all the sympathy, China is a wild card.
The Australian government is interested to undertake similar steps to Japan legalizing Bitcoin and being a legal method of payment in Australia. However, if this is about to happen, we are about to see another surge of Bitcoin. I know many people will contradict me with statements that the price of Bitcoin will never increase and reach $10,00 by 2018. Tim Draper is a long-term bitcoin investor and he bought nearly 30,000 bitcoins from an auction led by the FBI, after shutting down a website on the black market.
Tim Draper predicts that the price of 1 bitcoin will reach $10,000 by 2018. His prediction was given in 2014. The current price for Bitcoin is $ 3,969.38 at the time of writing this article. As described above the bitcoin is extremely volatile. While gathering all the data for this article. I have observed various changes in the bitcoin price.
The price hit the $5,000 benchmark before the news that China has set a ban for ICO. I did not expect this row of events to change the price so aggressively.
What is about to happen with Bitcoin Price?
Above you can see some of the strong evidence why this might happen in near future. Some strong predictions were made by experts that the Bitcoin value will go up to $10,000 by 2018. However, this is clearly the only speculation. Nobody can tell exactly what will happen with the Bitcoin. I can tell you only one thing based on my research that Bitcoin is unstoppable and no government has the power to stop it.
My own personal opinion is that Bitcoin might hit new benchmark. However, this is my own personal opinion. Enjoy this infographic brought to you by Technifographics feel free to share but do not forget to give is a credit. I would be happy to answer any questions that might arise over the Bitcoin topic.

Opposition for Estero development despite recommendations
ESTERO, Fla. – The village council received recommendations about a contested development that is one of many properties approved by Lee County before Estero was incorporated.
The proposed Estero Crossing project, located off Interstate-75 and Corkscrew Road, would include multiple condo buildings, shops and a hotel. But the project was not approved by village council members according to Council Member Jim Wilson.
“There were projects that were approved as far back at 2004 and 2005 that didn’t get built when the market collapsed,” he said.
Those projects are now being handed down to Estero’s leadership, which is made up of a small staff.
“The challenge is not to become Bonita Springs,” Wilson said. “As much as I respect what they’ve done, I understand that they have over 60 full-time employees. We have about five or six full time employees.”
Deciding on projects is a huge task, Wilson said. He believes many of the county’s decade-old projects do not account for the current conditions in Estero.
Traffic is a huge concern for many. When a traffic consultant for Estero Crossings suggested on Tuesday that the large project would not create any additional traffic, residents sneered, laughed and boo’d.
Only one person spoke in favor of the development: Josh Evans, the president of a construction company located across the street from the proposed site. He said without attractive housing, he cannot bring in more business.
Evans also believes Estero residents want the area to remain unchanged.
“I feel like this is one of those situations where they just don’t want a development in that location at all,” he said.
Residents also spoke out against the height of proposed condo buildings.
Estero village leaders decided to continue discussions on the project. Developers will return to their plans to make changes.

TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION) — Some Troy University students could be one step closer to finding their post-college employer thanks to a recent career fair.
Career Services held its Fall Career Fair to help students find their future endeavors.
“Our students can find out about internships, co-ops, entry-level jobs,” said Career Services Director Lauren Cole. “They can come and have practice talking to employers but also find real-life job opportunities.”
Businesses and entrepreneurs from across the state came to TROY to help students find post-graduation career opportunities.
“It’s a really good idea to start to engage with employers early on when they are at Troy University to start to try to get an internship, which we hope will then turn into a job,” Cole explained.
Employers told TrojanVision they are excited about what the future holds for students as well as what they can provide and in the future.
“We’re hoping to meet the next generation of leaders for the television station in a number of areas, not just news,” said WAAY General Manager Mick Wright. “We’re looking for people for accounting, for technical, all things engineering and marketing and basic communication.”
Students say they’re excited about the opportunities they can gain from this experience.
“I think that this is a good opportunity to learn about the different organizations and careers that we have in Troy, Alabama,” said student Tiara John.
Career Services offers several resources for TROY students, including the popular Career Closet. For more information, visit its website.

This project was part of the Research Unit TP A2 of the Collaborative Research Center—Sonderforschungsbereich SFB 626 "Aesthetic Experience and the Dissolution of Artistic Limits" of the Freie Universität Berlin.
The project aims at defining a way of seeing assumed to be peculiar to the first three decades of the nineteenth century, as a major phenomenon of vision's turn to modernity. The observers incarnating this protomodern way of seeing knew that the function of their eyes could not be drawn on the cartesian model anymore. They recognized the complexity of physiological features and did not consider the eye any longer as a neutral and passive screen on which outside reality is projected, capable to faithfully represent the world as it is. Conceding that the eye still has epistemic capacities, protomodern observers deemed it a “ visual box of resonance” of the outside world, capable of conveying "true" informations only if the observers are able to control their visual experience.
This particular way of understanding vision, oscillating between the need for objective representation and the recognition of individual responses to visual stimulation, affected many ideas and practices related to the visual representation of the observed and let instrumental strategies of observation and imaging flourish. Indicatively, though, these practices were not based on processes of mechanical self-representation, but tried to sharpen human vision in order to facilitate the depiction of visual experience. Indeed, observation and depiction carried out by means of such instruments, most notably the Camera Lucida, are simultaneously an act of objective cognition and of subjective judgement, selection, and creation.
Drawing with optical instruments like the Camera Lucida grew into a popular phenomenon in art and science of the early nineteenth century. Their optical principle and their use are thus ideal keys to the meaning of vision and to the problems related to the depiction of visual experience in different domains of interest of this time, in epistemological terms as well as in terms of aesthetic experience.
As an astonishing common denominator of art and science, these optical drawing devices enables us to investigate a possible conceptual dialogue of positive knowledge and artistic autonomy, and to ask for the meaning of the "real" in artistic and scientific experience and representation.

Our new theme is
And here is what I came up with... I do hope that you like it ..
I used the large chrysanthemum stamp that Barbara and Dee launched at the Clarity open days in Kent...oh it is fabulous.
I started by stamping in VersaMark ink , adding white embossing powder and heat setting
Then using my artistry ink pads I started to blend the colours, working from the centre , outwards .
I started with Fine Wine,,,well we are at a chateau campsite in Burgundy
And added Blaze, Orange Popsicle, and Golden Tumeric
Then I used the Happy Birthday stamps from the sentiment words set , some water spritzing and my favourite Tim Holtz butterfly die.
Some matting and layering and a few dots of liquid glass... Ido love to add detail using this product
Plus a tiny heart embellishment,
It is these little details that really help to complete a design .
Do go and have a look at the inspiration from the rest of the dt, and if possible enter a design yourself....it could be Birthday, wedding, exam results. Well any form of celebration.

Florence preserving its hometown heritage
When Bob Gayle moved away from Florence in 1978, he never thought he’d return. He came back 33 years later, to make things in his hometown better.
Over the years he was away working as a diesel mechanic, returning to Florence made him sad. Ultimately, someone needed to make things better. That’s why he decided to return.
“We’ve got a lot of history in this little burg, and if we don’t preserve the history, we’re not going to have it,” he said.
The Harvey House Museum is “one of the things that’s right about this town,” Gayle said.
Iva Britton, president of the board of Florence’s historical society, said there had been a lot of settlers in Florence, but Fred Harvey gave the town its elegance.
“It’s a big part of history here,” Britton said. “When it’s gone, the history of Fred Harvey is gone.”
Five to eight volunteers keep the Harvey House going throughout the year, cooking and serving meals, keeping the place shining, and seeing that money is raised to take care of needed repair and maintenance.
During a Saturday picnic on the lawn at which donations were given to the museum in return for a meal of fried catfish or mountain oysters, an array of side dishes, and many choices for dessert, Britton was thankful for the money dropped into the kitty.
“This dinner, this is what we live on,” she said of the historical society.
Besides core volunteers, other community members pitch in when needed. Thanks to them, the house gets painted when needed, needed repairs get done, and the house is kept up.
Britton, who has lived in Florence nearly 60 years, said that when history was lost, it could never be replaced.
“You’ve got to keep thinking positive and make a goal to work at it,” Britton said.

How wonderful to see Shirley Mayhew’s monarch butterfly movie and to think that not so long ago the Vineyard sheltered so many monarchs on their migrations.
As some folks know, over the past year I’ve been asking people whether they have seen any monarchs this year and the answer has been a dismal none, or perhaps only a few. What most people don’t know (and I wish that this factual information had been more detailed and emphasized) is that in the Midwest (in particular) the eradication of milkweed has eliminated the primary food source for the butterflies. In order to increase production of corn and soy crops, vast swathes of crop land have been treated with RoundUp (Rodeo/glyphosate) and genetically modified crops have been planted. It is a very straight line process: when we eliminate the food source we eliminate the butterflies. Whether or not their habitat in Mexico has been threatened, enough habitat to sustain them during the winter remains. It is the areas further north in the United States that we need to safeguard.
When my kids were young we used to routinely gather small handfuls of milkweed leaves, and the eggs which had been laid on them. We would put the leaves in a vase of water and watch the process from egg to chrysalis to butterfly unfold. We released those butterflies to fly away, which was a wonderful and joyful process. When we moved home to the Vineyard in 1985 we continued to do so. About five years ago I noticed that I was seeing fewer monarchs. The past few years I have seen at best a few monarchs, and then this past year none. We have lots of native milkweed but I fear that we’ve wiped out the butterflies.
The secret herbicide that NStar plans to backpack spray around the power lines from the mainland which come ashore down-Island is glyphosate in some form. It is also being used elsewhere on the Island to eliminate invasive species. There is an argument that hand applying the herbicide (NStar is not hand applying — they have stated that they will use backpack sprayers) is very safe. Herbicides, fungicides, pesticides — all the “cides” in fact — accumulate, and some, such as glyphosate (which is what RoundUp and/or Rodeo are), are implicated in toxic impacts to marine invertebrates as well as other creatures. We apply these chemicals — in various concentrations and via various methods — at our peril and without appropriate consideration of the long-term consequences and impacts. Whether or not glyphosate is killing off the monarchs directly, applications which eliminate what they eat is eliminating them just as surely.
Even if we plant native milkweed, will the monarchs come back? Consider a world without the beauty of monarchs — it is a tragedy.

Tanis Aircraft Products is now 100% owned by its president Bob Krueger. Serving in this role and as majority shareholder since 2006, Krueger purchased the remaining shares of Tanis Aircraft Products from its former vice president, Linda Cole. A 30-plus-year employee, Cole recently announced her retirement from Tanis.
The purchase of Tanis Aircraft Products will serve to ensure the company’s continued success, Krueger said. Company assets include a product line of custom-designed aircraft engine preheater systems, numerous FAA-PMA certificates and U.S. patents dating back to 1976, as well as auxiliary heater products, such as oil sump and battery heaters, and custom-fitted insulated covers. The Tanis product line was designed for the most popular aircraft engines including Lycoming, Continental, Pratt & Whitney, Garrett, SMA diesel, Thielert, Rotax, and Jabiru. Tanis also holds numerous FAA Letters of Acceptance from most light-sport aircraft manufacturers for installations of a Tanis preheat system. Custom preheat solutions can be configured by Tanis for any aircraft, including experimental aircraft, Krueger added.
Tanis Aircraft Products was founded by the late Peter Tanis in 1973. In its formative years, the company was awarded U.S. patents for many of its designs.
Prior to joining Tanis as president in 2006, Bob Krueger previously started and led other companies through their growth cycles. Krueger’s vision for Tanis is to continue to introduce new products. By taking 100% ownership of the company, Krueger said he will be able to move ideas forward quickly. As a private pilot and strong advocate of general aviation, Krueger said he sees “tremendous potential in the Tanis product line. Aircraft engine preheaters and protection accessories allow operators to safely keep their aircraft flying when inclement weather would normally limit productivity. Tanis products enable safe operations and prolong the life of engines that can be severely reduced, or damanged, by cold starting. I have great faith in the product and the team that has been in place for many years.”

Nosy Crow Ltd
Paperback / softback
Life-affirming and lyrical, this beautiful picture book celebrates the awesome power of nature, while gently introducing young children to the concept of life and death.
Over the course of a year, a young child and their dog watch kingfishers by the river with Grandpa. As spring turns to summer and autumn to winter, the kingfishers raise a family, while Grandpa teaches his grandchild about the power of nature and the circle of life.
Written in memory of her father, whose favourite bird was the kingfisher, Anna Wilson takes readers on a lyrical journey though a year in the life of a kingfisher family. Stunning illustrations by Sarah Massini bring the riverbank to life in all its glory, while the powerful intergenerational bond between grandparent and grandchild shows that just as spring always follows winter, hope will always return if you know where to look for it.
A positive story about life, death, and being a part of the natural world. Find out more from author Anna Wilson and illustrator Sarah Massini.
Grandpa and the Kingfisher is a beautifully illustrated book which follows a little girl and her grandfather over the course of a year along with a family of kingfishers. It explores sensitive themes of loss and grief and also the circle of life which is shown through following the life cycle of the kingfishers as the seasons change.
It is a thought-provoking book for children which can act as an opportunity to discuss themes around death and loss. I read this with my three-year-old daughter but I think the themes are a little too mature for her at present as she struggled to understand why the grandpa had gone. We will definitely come back to it as she gets a little older.

Grandpa and the Kingfisher follows the journey of a small child and their Grandpa as they watch the seasons change and the kingfishers raise their family.
This sensitively written story touches on the circle of life and introduces the idea that death is a part of that. The illustrations add detail and context to the story and the gentle colours respect the tone of the narrative.
There are so many themes within this beautiful picture book that could be explored in a class setting. The circle of life and changes in nature would be relevant for all KS1 year groups. The story could be used in PSHE to spark discussions around life and death; it could be used in Emotional Literacy to help a child to start talking about their experiences of grief.
The author has carefully chosen language throughout the book to add richness whilst ensuring that it is accessible to children of all ages. It is a very skilled writer who can convey such complex concepts with so few words and such compassion.

We are living in strange and difficult times, as countries around the world continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic. As healthcare professionals and scientists understandably refocus all of their efforts to deal with the coronavirus, many other aspects of healthcare and research have been temporarily sidelined. But cancer won’t go away – it will still be with us after the current crisis has passed, and when that time comes, cancer research will be more needed than ever before.
Now, it’s the cancer researchers who are taking up the challenge to raise much needed funds for Welsh cancer charities. ‘Pass the baton for cancer research’ will see groups of scientists taking on fundraising challenges each month, before passing the virtual baton to another research lab elsewhere in Wales.
The idea has been dreamt up by Alan Parker, who heads a research group at Cardiff University and receives funding from several Welsh charities including Cancer Research Wales, as well as Cancer Research UK. The Parker lab usually work on reprogramming viruses to help fight cancer, and have already translated their skills into helping the COVID-19 effort. They are currently working on modifying viruses that could be used to administer a vaccine for COVID-19. Alan said: “We recognise how difficult these times are for the charity sector […] we came up with the @baton4cancer initiative so that we, as researchers, can give back to the fundraisers who work so hard to support our work.”
Together with his colleagues and students, Alan will take on the first challenge, to run 1000 miles in May. Alan’s personal target is 200 miles – a pretty amazing undertaking for someone who, by his own admission, couldn’t run for more than five minutes at the beginning of the year!
Within three days of launching, the group have already exceeded their initial fundraising target of £1000. With other researchers around Wales queueing up to receive the baton next, we hope that there will be lots more support around the nation as each team of scientists completes their own challenges! The more that can be raised, the more vital cancer research we can support once the threat of COVID-19 has passed.
The proceeds from this challenge will be split between Cancer Research Wales and Tenovus Cancer Care. You can donate or read more about the challenge via the group’s donation page: https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/baton4cancer, and catch up with all their activities on twitter: https://twitter.com/baton4cancer


Berlin Mondiale unites children, young people and young adults with a refugee background and arts and culture institutions in Berlin. The creative encounters take place all over the city and across all genres, both in the refugee accommodation centres as well as in the cultural institutions. The principle of the collaboration is the forming of tandem partnerships between one cultural institution and one refugee centre.
Since its founding in 2014, Uferstudios GmbH has been a partner of Mondiale. Together with our partner Mobile Dance e.V. and well over 80 Berlin artists, we work with children and women of refugees in our neighborhoods. The program ranges from workshops to film documentaries to small concerts. We hold a dance party and regularly invite our friends, partners, artists, colleagues and residents to dance and celebrate together.
Berlin Mondiale is a project by the Berlin Council for the Arts (Rat für die Künste Berlin) in collaboration with the Cultural Network Neukölln (Kulturnetzwerk Neukölln e. V.), With the support of the Berlin Refugee Council association in Berlin (Flüchtlingsrats Berlin e. V.), funded by Berlin Senate Administration Culture and Europe (Senatsverwaltung Kultur und Europa/Kulturprojekte Berlin im Rahmen des Masterplans Integration und Sicherheit).


IsoTile is the standard in acoustic flooring materials. SB-IsoTile has been engineered to block high energy sound waves that normally pass through the floor into an adjacent space below. The material also prevents sound energy from being transmitted into the supporting structure (i.e. concrete or wood) and then migrating into a stem wall or standard wall construction. IsoTile is also designed to eliminate heel impact noise and meets code requirements for MDU construction.
SB-IsoTile is a green product made of recycled tires. The material is constructed of rubber pellets of varying density.
SB-IsoTile may be installed in new or retrofit construction projects and is perfect for use under all types of flooring surfaces such as wood, ceramic tile and carpet.

Joining bookstagram can be such a rewarding experience. You meet fellow book lovers, can share all your book photography in abundance and discover lots of new books. Amidst all the excitement, there is one thing I’ve found is often overlooked: bookstagram safety. Its so important to remember that bookstagram is a sub-community on Instagram. Since Instagram is a social networking site, the rules of staying safe on the Internet apply as well.
Earlier this week I discovered that amongst its e-resources, my library also offers digital magazines via Zinio. I knew all along about ebook loans via Overdrive and access to journals via JSTOR etc but somehow Zinio passed me by. With library subscriptions to selected digital magazines, library members can access the most recent issues. The best part is, unlike for ebooks on Overdrive, there’s no waiting time on Zinio. Pick a magazine and read it instantly.
As much as I prefer ordering books online for the price and convenience, the waiting time does bother me. It’s been taking longer and longer for shipments to be dispatched, which doesn’t coincide with the estimated delivery times listed on Book Depository. I find this rather problematic when it comes to pre-orders that I want to read before all the spoilers emerge. Though for the most part the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
Email replies to blog comments are a great way to keep conversations going. When we comment on a blog, we seldom check back to see if we received any comment replies. Yet comment replies tend to encourage us to return to a blog. It’s nice knowing the blogger cares about our opinions. This is where Postmatic comes in. It’s a WordPress plugin aimed at keeping the conversation going by setting up an email commenting system.
A little over a year ago, I took the plunge and ordered a first generation Kindle Paperwhite from Amazon. I first read about the impending emergence of electronic reading devices in 1999. Back then, I already knew that I wanted one and looked forward to the day I would own one. Then when Amazon introduced the Kindle in 2007, I was excited. But I decided against obtaining one then because I weighed the benefits and decided I would wait.

The United Nations has warned that the number of foreign fighters operating inside Syria is growing, and that there is growing evidence that they are responsible for war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Brazilian diplomat and professor Paulo Sergio Pinheiro said:
"Despite indications that the FSA had adopted a code of ethics, media reported that 21 government soldiers were summarily executed in Aleppo...they also allegedly used prisoners to detonate vehicle borne explosives and acted, in such a way, that resulted in captives deaths. "
