Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin
by Jill Lepore. Knopf, 464 pp., Hardcover $27.95|Paperback $16.95|eBook $13.99
“One Half of the World does not know how the Other Half lives,” wrote Benjamin Franklin in his popular Poor Richard’s Almanack. It is a phrase that is open to many interpretations. Jacob Riis co-opted it to highlight the gap between the tenements and townhouses in late nineteenth century New York, while Jill Lepore uses Franklin’s saying as the epigraph to her work focused on the founding father’s sister, titled Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin. Lepore’s other half includes the millions of sisters, daughters, and wives that lived in America during the eighteenth century. She writes, “History is what is written and can be found,” and in a time when “3 in 5 women in New England could not sign their names,” we have often been left with half the history of colonial America. At heart, this book reads like a well-researched biography, but it is more than the story of Jane Franklin, it also represents in many ways the lives of women who toiled, sacrificed, and served no less than their male counterpoints in the making of America.
Jane Franklin (1712-1794) was born the last child of Josiah Franklin’s seventeen, Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) being born the last son. Benjamin Franklin would famously run away from his home in Boston at the age of seventeen to seek his fame and fortune in Philadelphia, but he always kept in contact with Jane Franklin starting from a young age, first writing to her on his twenty-first birthday when she was fourteen:
I always judged by your behavior when a child that you would make a good, agreeable woman, and you know you were ever my peculiar favorite… I am, dear Jenny, your loving brother.
Only one earlier written letter by Benjamin Franklin survives before this one addressed to his sister in 1727. They would continue this correspondence for the rest of their extraordinarily long lives. Unfortunately, three decades of Jane Franklin’s end of the correspondences are missing from this early period. Her first known surviving letter to her brother is dated from 1758, during the height of the French and Indian War (1754–1763). She does not mention the conflict in it nor did it enter into Benjamin Franklin’s letters often, though Jane would become more involved politically, as many American women would, during the period of the Intolerable Acts that would lead to the Boston Tea Party and the Revolutionary War. In this letter, as with many from this time period, she signs off apologizing for her poor writing skills:
Pardon my Bad writing & confused composure & acept it as coming from your Ladyships affectionat Sister & most obedient
In comparison to her famous brother, whose letters were prized, circulated, and printed in newspapers, Jane clearly struggles with her writing. She often spends half her letters apologizing for the state of their composition, and she feared that her bad spelling and “my Blundering way of expresing my self,” made her correspondence hard to understand. In short, she was embarrassed of her letters, insecure in her only way to communicate with her brother, family, and friends outside of the Boston area. But, it is the three decade gap of letters early in Jane’s life that Lepore uses to reconstruct her world, and the conditions of the majority of women who lived close to poverty most of their lives, as even Benjamin Franklin’s sister did. It is also a perfect opportunity for Lepore to explore how two siblings could be so divergent in the art of letters, and she does so with great depth to the various cultural and social currents running through the colonial time period.
This difference in writing skill between brother and sister brings forward questions of education and gender in the eighteenth century. As Lepore points out, “Jane Franklin learned to read. Everyone needed to learn to read, even girls. But that didn’t mean they needed to learn to read well.” And beyond reading, educational opportunity was divided by gender: “there was no need for a girl to learn to write. Massachusetts poor laws required boys to be taught to write and girls to read. For most girls, book learning ended there. At home and at school, when boys were taught to write, girls learned to stitch.” Though Jane’s writing was poor, her prose was better than that of most women of her time, except the privileged few who had access to a tutor. Benjamin Franklin makes the same observation when responding to one of Jane’s many apologies: “Is there not a little Affection in your Apology for the Incorrectness of your Writing?’ he teased her, “Perhaps it is rather fishing for Commendation. You write better, in my Opinion, then most American Women.” This was also a self-compliment to Benjamin Franklin himself, because he is the one that taught Jane Franklin to write.
Benjamin Franklin believed in a level of gender equality, especially concerning education, and he was definitely in the minority but not alone in his views. One of his favorite books in his father’s library was Daniel Defoe’s Essay on Projects in which Defoe argued for the establishment of an academy for women, writing that “I have often thought of it as one of the most barbarous Customs in the world, considering us as a Civilised and Christian Countrey, that we deny the advantages of Learning to Women.” The only country in the early modern Atlantic world to offer girls primary education universally was the Netherlands, and the Enlightenment of the latter half of the eighteenth century would open once barred doors to women both educationally and legally. But, as Lepore explores in exceptional detail, the rise of women’s literacy in that century was in direct relationship to the rise of fiction in the form of the novel.
Jane Franklin would do most of her reading later in life, as she was married at the age of fifteen, and would give birth to twelve children in the next twenty-two years. She was either nursing or pregnant continuously until the age of thirty-six. The average age of marriage for women in the colonies was twenty-four, and most of Jane’s sisters married in their twenties. It is quite possible that pregnancy rushed the marriage; it was not uncommon for brides to be pregnant when they married in the eighteenth century. And Lepore adds, as she does throughout the text, a quote from Poor Richard’s Almanack on the subject, that “Neither a Fortress nor a Maidenhead will hold out long after they begin to parly.” Jane’s first child would die young; one in four children born in her time did not live to the age of ten. After almost forty years of marriage, Jane became a widow at fifty-three, and when her husband passed away it also became the age at which she was finally considered legally an adult.
I have only skimmed the surface of a book that brings Jane Franklin to life, and adds another perspective in which to view one of the most enigmatic of founding fathers. The most interesting letters between the two are during the Revolutionary War, as Jane chronicles living through the end of the empire in which she had grown up and spent most her life, and the birth of a republic, which both siblings were proud to support and spend their twilight years peacefully reminiscing. The text though is more than a biography; it offers many levels of insight like much of Lepore’s published work. Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin joins her other books, The Name of War: King Philip’s War and the Origins of American Identity and New York Burning: Liberty, Slavery, and Conspiracy in Eighteenth-Century Manhattan as must reads for anyone interested in understanding the textured tapestry of early American history.

The Khronos Data Format Specification was first released on July 29, 2015 and is regularly updated.
Components of computer systems often work on collections of small, fixed-size units, such as pixels, normals or coordinates, which can have several possible representations. In the past, each API has tended to use its own scheme for describing its layout. These schemes usually enumerate each option, which then need to be implemented explicitly. A format implemented in this way is either supported or not - there is no convenient way to write flexible code that can support a variety of input that has not been seen before. It is time-consuming to add new functionality that supports each format, hard to compare formats, and hard to add support for new formats.
Data may need to be shared with other parts of the system, meaning that translation between the proprietary representations is needed to communicate across each interface. This translation requires significant programmer effort and can be error-prone. This work relies on the quality of documentation, which is often intended to be human-readable and can be imprecise - and the description of the formats makes the documentation itself more complicated.
APIs are typically designed to support only a subset of possible formats and make domain-specific assumptions about how the data should be interpreted. When additional flexibility is later needed - for example, compressed formats or multi-planar YUV - retrofitting additional flexibility can be more complicated than if it were designed in at the beginning. The lack of a standard scheme for interoperation also makes management of metadata awkward. For example, both the application and the user interface may understand color spaces, but information needed to correctly represent the image may go missing if it has to be passed through a library that does not have a representation of this concept.
Last but not least, the lack of a standard way to describe data often leads to misconceptions and miscommunications between developers. When each team has its own naming conventions and implicit assumptions, a lot of time can be wasted resolving the confusion.
Khronos’s specification aims to solve the issues seen in previous data format schemes:
The format descriptors defined by the Khronos Data Format Specification are small and simple enough to allow fast interpretation and easy copying. However, it is not expected that these format descriptors will be interpreted on every function call to a real-time API, nor does existing software or hardware need to be rewritten to use this standard. Most APIs will continue to use an enumeration scheme to describe formats, but may choose to use this enumeration as an index into an array of standard format descriptors. This allows descriptors to be accessed when needed by generic code or when transferring data outside the API, while retaining a minimal enumeration when the range of possible formats used by an entry point is limited. More flexibility can be added by making this mapping array user-extensible. Descriptors complying with the Khronos Data Format Specification have been generated internally for the OpenGL, OpenVX and Vulkan APIs, demonstrating the possibilities of this scheme.

Sundar C has big plans for his next as he has reportedly approached two big names from the South film industry. The buzz is that he has offered the film to none other than Ilayathalapathy Vijay and Mahesh Babu.
Reports say that Sundar C has approached Vijay and Mahesh Babu to star in the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film, which is said to be the costliest-ever flick made in India. The movie will be simultaneously made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi languages. Rumours are rife that Sundar C has plans to cast a big name from Bollywood to act in the Hindi version.
In an interview with a website, Sundar C had admitted recently that the movie, which is being produced by Sri Thenandal Films, will be the biggest-ever one made in India in terms of budget and cast. "We'll have a big and fantastic star cast," the director adds, confirming that the film will be bigger than "Bahubali" and "Enthiran 2." While the first instalment of SS Rajamouli's film was made with a budget of Rs. 120 crore, the Rajinikanth-starrer is presently being made with Rs. 350 crore.
Earlier, it was reported that Mahesh Babu would star in both Tamil and Telugu versions. Later, Suriya's name was doing the rounds but the director had later denied the reports.
The makers are tight-lipped about the cast, but they are expected to make a formal announcement soon. Meanwhile, AR Rahman has been roped in to compose the music. He confirmed the news as he tweeted, "Very happy to be scoring for @ThenandalFilms 100th ambitious project to be directed by #SundarC.. My best Wishes to the team. [sic]"
On the other hand, the pre-productions works are happening with a bang. The work was started seven months ago and technicians from all over the world, including from the U.S., U.K., and Denmark are working on the project.
Sundar C has already signed up Sabu Cyril for art direction and Kamal Kannan to supervise CGI works.

Friends of late, Tony-nominated actor Charlotte Rae will gather to celebrate her life and legacy November 1. The invitational celebration is organized by Ted Seifman, Jim Brochu, David Staller, and Ted Snowdon.
Best known for playing Edna Garrett on TV’s The Facts of Life (a spinoff of Diff’rent Strokes), Rae passed away August 5 in Los Angeles at the age of 92. The actor had been diagnosed with bone cancer in April 2017 following a bout with pancreatic cancer seven years earlier.
She made her Broadway debut in 1952 in Three Wishes for Jamie and then went on to play Mrs. Peachum in the 1954 revival of Threepenny Opera. Other Broadway credits included The Golden Apple (1954), The Littlest Revue (1956), Li’l Abner (1956), and The Beauty Part (1962). She received Tony nominations for her next two Broadway outings: Mrs. Bardell in the musical Pickwick in 1965 and Gertrude, Beryl, and Filigree Bones in Israel Horovitz’s Morning, Noon and Night in 1968. Her final Main Stem credits were Murray Schisgal’s short-lived The Chinese and Dr. Fish in 1970 and David Rabe’s In the Boom Boom Room in 1973.

According to the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), there has been an average of 334 crashes involving bicyclists each year in Washington, D.C. Review the following bike laws to stay safe when sharing the road with cars in the D.C. area.
D.C. Bike Laws
The following regulations have been put in place by DDOT in an effort to keep motorists and bicyclists safe on shared roads:
- Bicyclists traveling on roadways have all the rights and duties of vehicle drivers.
- Helmet use is mandatory for cyclists under 16 and strongly recommended for everyone.
- Cycling on sidewalks is permitted outside of the D.C. Central Business District. When riding on the sidewalk, all cyclists must yield to pedestrians.
- A white headlight that is visible at 500 feet and a red reflector or taillight that is visible from 300 feet is required when biking at night.
D.C. Bike Safety Tips
DDOT recommends the following safety guidelines for bicyclists to remain safe on the road:
- Obey all traffic lights and signs.
- Never ride against traffic.
- Use hand signals to tell motorists what you intend to do.
- Ride in a straight line to the right of traffic and about a car door width away from parked cars.
- Always wear a helmet.
- Use lights at night and when visibility is poor.

5. The diverse order of the arrangement and writing of the Epistles. Formerly the arrangement was also varying. The order of the Epistles according to the time of writing.
The Order of the Epistles of Paul is twofold: one of disposition or arrangement; the other of writing. The Order of arrangement that obtains in today’s exemplars appears to answer to the size of the books and also to the Churches and persons to whom they were written. For the Epistles larger, and written to entire Churches, precede: Epistles smaller, and written to individual persons follow: with the Epistle written to the Hebrews excepted, which, although surpassing in sizes most of those preceding, and written to an entire race, is set in the last place. Indeed, anciently they were not arranged by all in the same order in which they appear today. For, Saint Athanasius in his Synopsi sets the Catholic Epistles before the Pauline, and numbers that which was written to the Hebrews the tenth. But Tertullian, against Marcion, book 5, has yet another order of the Epistles. Now, with respect to the order of writing, or of time, in which each was written, that is not sufficiently evident from the Epistles themselves, nor from history. Nevertheless, since it is of no little interest to know it, and the time of the Epistles bestows much for the answering of questions, as Saint Chrysostom teaches at the beginning of his in Epistolam ad Romanos, we shall try to elicit in this place, and as far as it will be evident not to be without reason, if we hold this order of the writing, that we might say that some were written by him while he was yet free and unbound, others from his former bonds, others between his former and latter bonds, yet others from his latter bonds. By Saint Paul yet free and unbound were written: I. the first Epistle to the Thessalonians in 54 AD; II. the second Epistle to the Thessalonians in the same year; III. the Epistle to the Galatians in 59 AD; IV. the Epistle to the Romans in the same year; V. the first Epistle to the Corinthians in the same year; VI. the second Epistle to the Corinthians in 60 AD. By the same in his former bonds at Rome were written: VII. the Epistle to the Philippians in 60 AD: VIII. the Epistle to Philemon in the same year: IX. the Epistle to the Ephesians in the same year; X. the Epistle to the Hebrews in the same year. Between his former and latter bonds were written: XI. the Epistle to the Colossians in an uncertain year; XII. the former Epistle to Timothy in an uncertain year; XIII. the Epistle to Titus in an uncertain year. In his latter bonds, a little before his death, at Rome was written: XIV. the latter Epistle to Timothy in 67 AD. This Chronology, in which we have Ussher of Armagh going before us for the most part, we will demonstrate more fully in its place.

With a tiny-enough GPS sensor, it’s possible to track the location of anything from your lost keys to a runaway pet. That’s because the world’s smallest GPS receiver is now smaller than a penny and weighs only 0.3 grams. But that’s just the chip – what about all the electronics required to make it truly useful, like a system for remotely downloading the data it has logged?
This GPS logger weighs 10 grams, most of which is battery. Custom-made by Telemetry Solutions of Concord, California, it’s small enough to attach to a fruit bat for research purposes. Data can be downloaded directly from the chip upon recapture, or it can be downloaded wirelessly from up to 500 meters away.
Wirelessly tracking animals has been a mainstay of research for decades, ever since the first bulky radio transponders were attached to large mammals. But GPS loggers this tiny are inspiring a whole new set of questions: everything from where our trash goes to what kind of landmarks bats use for navigation.

Americans view trouble in finding work or advancing one’s career as the most significant impediment facing those without broadband.
The share of Americans with broadband at home has plateaued: It now stands at 67%, down slightly from 70% in 2013. At the same time, more Americans rely only on their smartphones for online access.
The internet is a central resource for Americans looking for work, but a notable minority lack confidence in their digital job-seeking skills.
A new Pew Research Center analysis finds low-income households, especially black and Hispanic ones, make up a disproportionate share of the 5 million with school-age children that lack broadband access.
Nearly two-thirds (64%) of Americans own a smartphone, up from 35% in 2011. Today, 19% rely to some extent on a smartphone for internet access, but connectivity for these users is frequently tenuous.

The Commerce Ministry and Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF) had an urgent meeting about the USA Rice Federation to the The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) on the eliminating a trade benefit on rice imported to US including fromCambodia.
The meeting was led by Seang Thay, secretary of state and the spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce, and CRF’s president Song Saran, and other CRF members and commerce officials. It aims to collect all input related to the USA Rice Federation’s request USITC to the eliminate the US’ Generalised scheme of preferences (GSP) on imported.
The CRF said the US is now moving to a final discussion to omit the list of commodities eligible under the GSP on imported rice to the US from Thailand, Vietnam, Brazil, India, Burma and Cambodia.
Saran exported rice from Cambodia to the US has not caused any impact on farmers because exports of milled rice from Kingdom to US are just 2,000 tonnes per year and the varieties of milled rice exports to the US is organic and fragrant Indica rice, which is different from the rice that US farmers grow such as Japonica and Carlrose cice.
“Cambodia rice can make the consumer healthy so they should not delete the GSP on imported milled rice from Cambodia to the US market,” said Saran.
However, the group will continue discussing further with policy institutions and relevant ministries soon to find an appropriate solution.
Thay said that the meeting on Monday was just a technical meeting to collect the inputs from all relevant stakeholders. However, no decision has been made. He added that Cambodia exports of rice to the US were 1,819 tonnes last year, worth around $1.672 million. However, in the first half of 2020, the exports of Cambodia rice to US was 1,100 tonnes, worth around $1.014million.
Cambodian rice exports to the US could face full tariffs after a lobby group called for the imposition of full tariffs on the crop. Currently, the Kingdom’s rice enjoys some tax-protection under the GSP-eligible commodities list.
However, lobbyists USA Rice last month provided virtual testimony to the United States International Trade Commission in support of removing Cambodian rice from the list.
It submitted a petition to the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) in March advocating for the removal of rice from the list of GSP-eligible commodities. The petition has since moved forward into the formal review process, including a concurrent analysis by the USITC.
USA Rice said most developing countries are eligible for duty-free access for parboiled rice only. However, all rice from the “least developed countries” such as Cambodia and Myanmar, are eligible for duty-free access into the US.
Rice-grower organisations representing the six major rice-growing US states signed a joint letter with their corresponding state farm bureau organisations lending their support to the USA Rice petition. Cambodia’s rice sector officially lost its import duty exemption granted by the EU in January 2019 after the bloc decided to impose tariffs on imports from the Kingdom and Myanmar
to protect European rice farmers’ interests. That loss comes into effect on Aug 12.
Cambodia’s milled-rice exports increased 42 percent to 397,660 tonnes, valued at $264.5 million in the first half of this year from the 281,538 tonnes in the same period last year.
Rice exports to the EU increased by more than 45 percent. To China they rose by 25.2 percent. Other Asean members increased Cambodian rice imports by about 47.7 percent. Other market destinations surged by 79.26 percent. Cambodia expects to export between 800,000 tonnes to
1 million tonnes of milled rice this year.

So far this year has proved as busy as usual with exhibitions at the Affordable Art Fairs in Battersea and Hampstead with the Linda Blackstone Gallery with sculpture sold at both events. My work is also being shown in a number of galleries including Cricket Fine Art, Sculpt Gallery and Hunter Gallery. As in previous years, my garden sculpture is being exhibited at Pashley Manor Gardens in Ticehurst, East Sussex until the end of September. This autumn the University of Kent is showing two of my dance sculptures ‘Break Dance’ and ‘Argentine Tango’ in their exhibition
What was Sculpture news is 2016
2016 was busy again with various exhibitions (see Exhibitions Page). These include a show in aid of Art for Cure, a charity which raises money for the treatment and cure of breast cancer. This was held over the Spring Bank Holiday and took place at Glenham Hall, near Aldeburgh in Suffolk. This was the most astounding success with over 4000 visitors and huge sales of pictures and sculpture including my works ‘Argentine Tango’ and Seated Woman. Since then I sold work at Pashley Manor Gardens and at Sculpt Gallery.
I have been working on a commission for clients who already possess several of my sculptures – a group of three standing figures based on the Ancaster stone group ‘The Conversation’ which will be installed in October.
In November two of my sculptures have been filmed at the Warner studios as part of the set of ‘Ready Player One’ Steven Spielberg’s latest film.
There is usually a selection of sculpture to view and purchase at my studio and gallery by appointment.
If you would like your name added to my mailing list please email me on firstname.lastname@example.org
What was Sculpture News in 2015
2015 proved to be a busy time for exhibiting, details of which can be seen on the Exhibitions Page. My most recent Ancaster stone sculpture is a group of three entitled ‘The Conversation’ I also been worked on three new garden sculptures – ‘The Listener‘ in iron resin which was shown at Pashley Manor and ‘Amour V‘ which was ready for the summer. A commission for a reclining figure in Ancaster stone was completed for a client who already has two of my works. In the autumn I was commissioned to produce a version of my sculpture ‘Vision’ which has been scaled up to 2.5 metres and cast in bronze to be erected in Zhengzhou city early in 2016. This is my first sculpture to be sited in China.

As reported in the July 2009 issue of IEEE Electron Device Letters,* the engineers have found a way to build a flexible memory component out of inexpensive, readily available materials.
Though not yet ready for the marketplace, the new device is promising not only because of its potential applications in medicine and other fields, but because it also appears to possess the characteristics of a memristor, a fundamentally new component for electronic circuits that industry scientists developed in 2008.** NIST has filed for a patent on the flexible memory device (application #12/341.059).
Electronic components that can flex without breaking are coveted by portable device manufacturers for many reasons—and not just because people have a tendency to drop their mp3 players. Small medical sensors that can be worn on the skin to monitor vital signs such as heart rate or blood sugar could benefit patients with conditions that require constant maintenance, for example. Though some flexible components exist, creating flexible memory has been a technical barrier, according to NIST researchers.
Hunting for a solution, the researchers took polymer sheets—the sort that transparencies for overhead projectors are made from—and experimented with depositing a thin film of titanium dioxide, an ingredient in sunscreen, on their surfaces. Instead of using expensive equipment to deposit the titanium dioxide as is traditionally done, the material was deposited by a sol gel process, which consists of spinning the material in liquid form and letting it set, like making gelatin. By adding electrical contacts, the team created a flexible memory switch that operates on less than 10 volts, maintains its memory when power is lost, and still functions after being flexed more than 4,000 times.
What’s more, the switch’s performance bears a strong resemblance to that of a memristor, a component theorized in 1971 as a fourth fundamental circuit element (along with the capacitor, resistor and inductor). A memristor is, in essence, a resistor that changes its resistance depending on the amount of current that is sent through it—and retains this resistance even after the power is turned off. Industrial scientists announced they had created a memristor last year, and the NIST component demonstrates similar electrical behavior, but is also flexible. Now that the team has successfully fabricated a memristor, NIST can begin to explore the metrology that may be necessary to study the device’s unique electrical behavior.
“We wanted to make a flexible memory component that would advance the development and metrology of flexible electronics, while being economical enough for widespread use,” says NIST researcher Nadine Gergel-Hackett. “Because the active component of our device can be fabricated from a liquid, there is the potential that in the future we can print the entire memory device as simply and inexpensively as we now print a slide on an overhead transparency.”

There will also be several giveaways, including tickets to the UK vs. Florida game on March 9th, GameDay tickets, t-shirts, gift cards, wings and other great UK gear.
I’m afraid it may be getting close to time to give up on Tevin Lawson. Dru Nettles, Lawson’s high school coach, told Justin Rowland over at Rivals.com that he is likely to end up at TCU or Louisiana Tech. The highly-ranked defensive tackle likes Stoops and Kentucky, but the distance between Lexington and his hometown in Louisiana is just too much for Mama Lawson to look past.
Nettles did say Kentucky is still in the mix right now, just fading fast.

Takashi Nakamura, a 36-year-old hotel owner in TOJIMA, Niaoyu City, Japan, recently bought 500 lobsters, one of which was obviously dead with its abdomen facing upwards. A closer look showed that its left half was reddish brown, while its right side was black.
And the lobster's feet and tail are missing. It's suspected that it was eaten by the same kind of lobster, and it's a rare 'hermaphrodite', which makes people think whether it's related to the impact of nuclear radiation.
Matsuda Haoyi, a senior researcher at the County Fisheries laboratory, has studied lobster growth techniques for 23 years. He said that the second time I saw this kind of lobster, it may be that when the fertilized egg divides into two cells, the rare genetic information that determines the sex and color is interlaced, and it is inferred that it is hermaphrodite. One in a million lobsters are found in the northern Atlantic Ocean.

"A genuinely exiting new voice in European Jazz. Damon Brown is a vastly accomplished young trumpet player and composer." Dave Gelly, The Observer
After leaving the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Damon's unique trumpet sound and approach to music earned him the admiration of both musicians and audiences in a surprisingly wide variety of musical settings. This, perhaps, reflects his own tastes and influences which span from the classical music repertoire through to the jazz and improvised music tradition; from popular song to dance music, soul and reggae.
He has toured internationally and recorded with Maxi Priest, Paul Weller, the Pasadenas and visited Japan for the first time with acid jazz group Push. Damon has always maintained strong links with British Jazz and his playing on the Ska scene with artists like Prince Buster, Desmond Decker, The Specials and most notably, a long standing relationship, with Jamaican trombonist Rico Rodriguez have helped him to forge his individual voice as an improviser. He has recently returned from Japan and his work on the début Adam F album won him many new admirers. This crossover with dance and pop culture has been an important factor in Damon's development as a composer. His style blends British and American influences in a highly personalised approach to jazz. While rooted firmly in the blue-note tradition his continued reference to wider musical settings creates complex and emotional music with flowing melodic lines which seem to transcend boundaries. The music, although exciting and accessible, retains a classic feel throughout.
Hope to see you guys there...
Since I'll be playing at Avanti's on Friday, I'll be checking them out on Saturday!

Dr. Michael Alexander Salzhauer is best known by everyone as Dr. Miami. He is also a prominent figure who has worked on numerous TV shows. Other than that, Dr. Miami would even record his own surgeries, which most people find intriguing.
The one thing that people care about the most is their physical appearance. Surely, everyone wants to look good. Some even go to great lengths for having a perfect body. While few are gifted with aesthetic figures, others rely on the help of surgery and science.
Dr. Miami is married to his wife Eva Zafira Zion
Michael Salzhauer, a widely popular celebrity doctor, is currently married to his long-time girlfriend, Eva Zafira Zion. According to multiple reports, the pair met each other back in high school.
She was one of the few people who saw the good in him. Eva was always there to support her husband, right from the start. The pair met each other for the first time in 1990 and started dating soon after. Later on, they took their relationship to the next level by tying the knot in 1994.
The wedding was held at the Temple of Israel, based in Long Island. It was described as a traditional Jewish style ceremony. More than 25 years into their marriage and the pair’s love is still evergreen.
Eva Zafira Zion Bio
Eva Zafira was born on the 10th of June 1972. As of now, the wife of Dr. Miami is 49 years old. She was born in Brooklyn to Jewish parents, Israel Zion and Mireille Zion.
Just like her husband, Eva also works in the medical field. She studied psychology alongside Salzhauer at Brooklyn College. Likewise, she has a master’s degree in Industrial-Organizational psychology.
Though her husband is a globally famous personality, Eva has decided not to share the spotlight with him. As a result, she is living a low-key life with her husband and children.
Speaking of children, this lovely couple shares a total of 5 children. They are Aleah, Tzvika, David, Coby, and Yonatan. Just like Eva, not much is known about Dr. Miami’s children as well.
However, the whole family is constantly involved with charitable foundations such as Chai Lifeline, which helps children with cancer. Moreover, his daughter Aleah raised $18,000 just by selling her children’s book ‘The Grumpy Tree’. This shows that their children are following in their footsteps.

In the second of our series of interviews with Ann Hussey QC on the potential implications for final financial orders occasioned by the COVID-19 outbreak, Manders Law Managing Partner, Mary-Ann Wright, speaks to Ann Hussey QC on the pressing questions that clients want answered. If you have recently concluded your financial proceedings by way of a consent order or following a final hearing, the information below will be of relevance to you.
About the interviewee
Ann Hussey QC specializes in high net worth divorce, separation and pre and post nuptial agreements. She is instructed by husbands, wives and separating unmarried couples and advises offshore asset holding entities. Ann regularly lectures on financial remedies both in the UK and internationally.
Are final orders ever really final? My circumstances have changed as a result of COVID-19
Orders made, whether by consent or by the court, to conclude a financial remedies claim are meant to be final. The courts have for a long time demonstrated very limited appetite for changing orders save in very limited circumstances. As has been repeatedly emphasised there is a public interest in finality to litigation.
There will of course be couples who have just concluded the process either by consent or through the courts, who are finding, that as a result of the pandemic, their circumstances are different.
Is there anything that can be done?
Unsurprisingly there have been several cases over the years where an event has happened after a court order, which has led one of the parties to mount a challenge to the original order.
The circumstances in which a change to the order can be achieved are very rare and the facts extreme. The original case on this point is known as Barder and involved a tragic set of circumstances. In short, only 5 weeks after the family home had been transferred to the wife, in order to provide a home for herself and young children, she killed the children and committed suicide. The husband succeeded in his challenge to the order and successfully appealed it out of time.
These facts of the Barder case are clearly exceptional. What test does the court apply to other cases, where perhaps the facts are less compelling and unusual?
The Barder case did indeed set out a test and makes clear what needs to be established before the court will permit an appeal out of time. There are four points to carefully consider with your legal advisers:
- The new “event” needs to be such that it invalidates the order, meaning that the appeal is very likely to succeed. In the Barder case, the death of the wife and children totally invalidated the assumption that she was going to need to provide a home for the children for many years.
- It needs to have happened within a very short time – this is crucial
- The applicant needs to appeal promptly
- The granting of leave should not prejudice third parties, who have acquired an interest in property for value and in good faith.
It seems likely that many families will be experiencing fluctuations in valuation, either to businesses, portfolios, or properties, in addition to the tragic possibility of untimely death, as a result of the pandemic. Would such fluctuations be sufficient to mount a challenge?
It is true that unexpected death has been a recurring theme in the cases which have come before the courts. One successful case involved the husband of a fabulously wealthy wife. He committed suicide 22 days after the order was made. However, the lump sum she was ordered to pay was reduced, but not extinguished altogether. The cases involving death will depend on whether the award was made because the receiving party needed it, in which case, if the “need” has gone the challenge will be easier. If, however, the award was based on “sharing”, the receiving party earned it and therefore it can be dealt with by his/her testamentary wishes in the event of untimely death.
There will inevitably and tragically be further cases involving untimely death as the result of this pandemic, and depending on the basis of the award it may be susceptible to a challenge.
As for fluctuations in valuations, this is not new territory. After the 2008 financial crash, devaluation was argued to be an event that could trigger a successful appeal. In the most dramatic of these cases, Mr Myerson argued that the order should not stand because the business, which he kept under the terms of the order, had fallen 90% in value. You might think that such a huge change would have been sympathetically viewed and enable him to appeal. He failed. The court held that natural fluctuation in value, even one this dramatic was not enough.
Is the outlook entirely bleak for those clients with recent orders where values have fluctuated?
No- it is vital to remember that whilst any crisis brings failures, there are also cases where a parties’ finances have dramatically changed for the better. What then? Let me give you an example. In one case a debt of £14m subsequently reduced to £600,000. In another, a business valued by the husband at £129,999 was sold for £1.6m. Neither order was successfully challenged.
There was however one change in fortunes, which did result in a change. Mr Critchell transferred the family home to his wife, and he was not to receive his share until the youngest child had completed education. On the eventual sale he would be able to extinguish the debt he had taken on to buy himself a home. However, very shortly after the case concluded his father died and he inherited enough to clear his debt and have a surplus. His wife successfully argued he no longer had a “need” for the eventual sale of the house. The court did however state that it was the timing that was critical here, and that if his inheritance had been many years later she would not have succeeded.
So, what conclusions can we draw?
The courts have again and again reiterated that the circumstances in which a party can successfully appeal out of time will be very rare indeed. Clever arguments to try to get over the high bar set will be rigorously scrutinised. Lord Justice Thorpe said in one case that these cases are “exceedingly rare” and should not be “extendable by ingenuity”.
So, we have been told. Whilst an appeal out of time might not succeed, a variation on time to pay lump sums, or execute property sales, is likely to be met with greater success.

For the occasion of the December 2015 Paris Climate Conference, UITP's Central and Eastern Europe unit has launched an initiative called CEEC Climate Leadership Declaration. This regional declaration has been created in the context of UITP's global climate declaration and our COP21 engagement in Paris. The CEEC declaration has been supported by the most renown and biggest urban mobility stakeholders – operators, authorities and manufacturers – from the Central and Eastern Europe region. This non-binding document has been designed to promote the environmental as well as sustainable and low-emission public transport progress and climate leadership in our region and its cities.
Moreover, the regional declaration (together with the global version and its pledges) was presented at the UNFCCC COP21 Climate Summit in Paris, where UITP represented both its members and all actors of urban mobility from all around the world, including Central and Eastern Europe.

During Meg Whitman’s Halloween visit to San Diego today – Sunday, October 31st – we have learned that she will push her offer to actually buy the community of Ocean Beach to local leaders.
During Whitman’s visit to Ocean Beach earlier in the week, much was made of her stop at a local OB surf shop to buy a surfboard and telephone the governor of Texas over a wager involving the World’s Series. Whitman was supposedly wagering the surfboard for a pair of Texan boots over the victor of the baseball games. But this was just the spin of why she really was here.
According to secret correspondence that the OB RAG has received, the story about her wager was just a subterfuge of the real reason the gubernatorial candidate made a stop in this seaside village.
The real reason Meg Whitman was in OB, according to these documents, was to hold a secret meeting with leaders of the community and make an offer to purchase Ocean Beach. Today – Halloween – she is supposed to contact these leaders and press her case for the purchase.
During her meeting with town leaders, Meg Whitman made the following offers: She pledged that if the leaders allowed her to buy the community, lock, stock, and barrel, she promised the following:
- She would completely fund the Ocean Beach fire station for two years – and then privatize the firefighting operations, handing them over to a partnership between Halliburton and British Petroleum – after the spectacular firefighting abilities of this corporate duo were on display during the recent Gulf oil rig disaster ;
- Paramedics: she would immediately farm out paramedical activity to Blue Shield;
- Police services will be upgraded with a new infusion of funds from the Meg Whitman estate; two additional helicopters will be provided, two police watchtowers will be installed at the beach with one installed at Robb Field;
- Meg promised to completely fund lifeguard services – and build a new, spiffy 3 story Lifeguard Station, with brand new (paid) public restrooms; after one year, lifeguard services would be privatized to Xe (formerly known as Black Water);
- Fire rings would also be completely funded by Ms. Whitman; covers and a cash deposit machine would be installed on each one – similar to paid parking lots;
- The Ocean Beach Recreation Center would be renamed the Meg Whitman Gymnasium; no improvements would be made for a decade except for a new sign over the front door. The public will be able to use the gym through paid memberships; however no meeting space will be provided community groups; senior citizens showing up for the weekly breakfast programs will be referred to that nice lady who feeds the homeless every Monday;
- The ancient OB Elementary School would be torn down after one year, and replaced with a shiny new, four-story educational complex renamed the Meg Whitman Ed Center. The new Center will be privatized and managed by Senator Rand Paul’s Center for the Reintegration of Education and Religion; religious classes will be held everyday and every student must attend; school texts will be replaced by new books authorized by the Texas Education Department; any references to evolution or civil rights will be carefully excised in the new texts, and the role of corporations in saving America will be greatly enhanced; Learning Business classes will start in Grade One.
- The sandy beaches of Ocean Beach will be also preserved as a community resource; ropes and private guards will be placed at all beach entrances, and the public will have very limited access (as the public simply is too careless in littering and engaging in other destructive behavior); card-carrying members of the Special Friends of Meg Club will have access 24/7 however.
- All unions of firefighters, lifeguards, paramedics, city workers, police officers and teachers will be prohibited;
In return for all these funds, upgrades and other improvements to the community of Ocean Beach, OB residents, merchants, and property owners would pledge to abide by Meg Whitman’s “Citizen Protection Regulations”:
- Ocean Beach – as part of the Meg Whitman Corporation – will be governed by the Board of Directors, with Whitman as head of the Board; Board members are appointed by the Chair;
- All residents and citizens will be prohibited from voting in national, state, County, or San Diego elections;
- Taxes for all citizens or local businesses that make over $5Million will be greatly reduced;
- Poor members of the community will only be allowed on Medical, Welfare, and Social Security for two years max; there will be no unemployment insurance allowed; if one cannot afford to live in OB, there’s always the highway; no homeless will be allowed absolutely;
- All entryways into the community will have Drive-thru Drug Test Centers; no one with a positive test will be allowed to enter the community;
- Any person with gay or lesbian tendencies will have to make full disclosures to the Board of Directors, and will be required to hang crimson ribbons on their front doors;
- Non-married persons will not be allowed to purchase condoms or other birth control;
- Abortions, of course, will be strictly forbidden;
- Gun-shooting practice will be allowed in the Sand Dunes of Dog Beach Reserve;
- Surveillance cameras will be installed at major intersections, on high buildings, on the OB Pier, in each parking lot, in the halls of the new Meg Whitman Ed Center, at each lifeguard station, outside major markets and every liquor store. The cameras will be monitored by personnel from BlackWater, the Coast Guard, and select members of the Special Friends of Meg Club.
(We have also learned that Ms. Whitman was sending out feelers on job prospects with the producer of “Terriers,” hoping to land the part of a “right-wing politician” on an upcoming episode)
However, despite these pledges and promises by Meg Whitman to the leaders of Ocean Beach, the secret correspondence that has been made available to us shows that there was a nearly unanimous rejection of Ms. Whitman’s offer. That outside just a couple members of the Ocean Beach Town Council, most leaders soundly rejected the candidates plan to develop a company town here in our community.
So, we say to you Ms Whitman, take your millions elsewhere. It’s too bad you didn’t use the $150 Million you spent on your campaign to really help the people of California. The people and the leadership of Ocean Beach – or most of it – have one answer to you:
Meg Out of OB!

Sem de Wit’s first season in Vancouver was a success.
Named the Whitecaps FC 2 Player of the Year on the back of a team-leading 27 regular season starts and 2416 minutes, the Dutch centre back played every playoff minute of WFC2’s run to the USL Western Conference final.
It was no surprise then when de Wit was one of the first USL players re-signed for the new season, which gets underway this Saturday with a trip to LA Galaxy II.
It’s an important season for de Wit. After training stints and call-ups to the first team in his debut season here, it could be one which could lead to a MLS contract. A good start to his career in Vancouver, but for the Dutchman, he feels he still needs to be better and show more to make the grade.
“Considering I hadn’t played for eight months, I think it was a pretty good year for me,” de Wit told AFTN at WFC2 training this week. “I can do better, I know that. I can do way better. It’s an honour for me that I was Player of the Year.
“I played every game and was vice-captain and I had a good year. I’m happy for that, but now that’s in the past and I have to focus on what’s coming and it starts with Saturday. I just need to do better this year.”
De Wit is still only 21-years-old (his birthday’s a week today) but he’s one of the most experienced players on the Whitecaps roster for the upcoming USL season, with time spent at a number of Dutch Eredivisie and Eerste Divisie clubs before making the move to North America last year feeling he was ”ready for an adventure”.
De Wit’s leadership qualities will be crucial this year for a very young WFC2 side. The last two seasons have seen the ‘Caps bring in a more veteran presence to help the first time pros find their feet. Former TFC player, and five year USL veteran, Tyler Rosenlund was the captain in the ‘Caps debut season. Kyle Greig filled that role in last year’s successful side before earning his MLS contract.
This season, at 25-years-old, Will Seymore and goalkeeper Mark Village are the oldest players on a team that contains six teenagers, but the feeling around the camp is that the experience already gained by this young group over the past two USL seasons will stand them in good stead.
“Well that’s going to help us,” de Wit feels. “We’ve got me, Will, Thomas. Deklan is coming back, Serban, Sean in goal, so we’ve got more than 25 to 30 games under our belt in the USL. We’ll have players from the first team coming down, and Kyle Greig might come down for a few games with us, so that’ll help us with the games that they’re coming down. So that’s an extra for us.”
De Wit’s knowledge of the USL was minimal before heading to Vancouver, but with a full season under his belt he’s now fully aware of what to expect, in every aspect, and has been impressed by the level of play he saw in the league last year.
“It’s better than I thought, to be honest,” de Wit admitted. “Last year I didn’t know what to expect. I had no idea. It’s a good competition. There’s challenges everywhere. The fact that you play against big strikers, fast, teams that like working hard, grinding out whatever they can. It’s a really good league and I’m looking forward to playing in it again.”
De Wit’s play last season caught the eye of Carl Robinson and the Dutchman was invited to train with the Whitecaps first team on a number of occasions, along with being called up to three of the ‘Caps CONCACAF Champions League squads and making his first team debut in the friendly against Crystal Palace in July, where he played the last 29 minutes of the match.
His time with the first team may have been limited so far, but he’s found the experiences extremely beneficial.
“Even though I’m playing one game, it’s the experience,” de Wit said. “With guys like Pa [Modou Kah] and Kendall [Waston], just being around and seeing how they prepare for a game. Seeing how they focus in the dressing room, how they go on the field, how they do there.
“Usually you’re in the stadium, so you’re a bit further away. Now you’re closer, you can keep an eye on them, see how they’re talking in games, how they’re doing. That’s something that’s really important for a young player to pick up these things from experienced players.”
There’s been a few staples for the Whitecaps under Robinson. He likes to play a two man defensive shield in a 4-2-3-1 formation. He likes to play counter-attacking football with fast wingers, especially on the road. And he likes to carry five centre backs on his MLS squad.
Right now he’s down to four, with David Edgar out with a season-ending knee injury. Robinson’s not in any rush to add to that number, and is content to run with Waston, Tim Parker, Christian Dean, and Cole Seiler for now, but he’s keen to see the battle play out between de Wit and this year’s second round MLS SuperDraft pick Francis de Vries.
It’s a competitive battle new WFC2 coach Rich Fagan hopes will bring the best out of both players, and that can only help the team for the season ahead.
“I expect a good season from Sem,” Fagan told us. “Him and Francis, they complement each other really well. Obviously there’s the balance of having the right and the left, but they have a very good understanding of one another’s tendencies already, which is fantastic.
“I expect not only Sem to have a good season, but Fran, and at the end of the day the cream will rise and whether it’s one or both, who knows, but I expect them both to have good seasons.”
Both players headed to Wales with the first team squad in January, but while de Vries was able to show his stuff on the pitch, an injury curtailed de Wit’s preseason plans. He views it as an opportunity missed, but he’s got himself back and is raring to go and hungry to succeed.
“I’m good, I’m healthy, and I’m working hard to get my fitness back,” de Wit said. “I’m at 95% and I’m really looking forward to start the season and see where I am as a player now, after the offseason, and do whatever I can.”
Driving him is the lure of a MLS contract. He may have missed out on the chance to impress in Wales, but he knows in this game such chances sometimes don’t come around too often. A solid start to the USL season will push him hard in Robinson’s mind and he’s keen to seize upon that opportunity.
“You always have to,” de Wit said. “You’re in the second team man. Look at last year with Kyle Greig, Brett [Levis], Alphonso [Davies]. They go halfway through to the first team. It’s always in the back of your head.
“I went to Wales and had a tough preseason injury. I wasted that opportunity. Now I’m looking forward for a new one and I will grab that one with both hands. I’m just going to work hard. That’s all I can do. The rest is up to them.”
It feels like it may be a tough year ahead for WFC2. With a very young midfield, there’s creativity and good engines, but no old head to perhaps guide it. It’s not looking like a team that will run riot in the goals scored column either. That will put more pressure on the Whitecaps defence to keep the back door shut and goals allowed tally down.
But De Wit is confident this year’s side can at least emulate what the team achieved last season.
“I hope we can do the same as last year, make the playoffs and go to the finals,” de Wit told us. “As a group we’re a hard working group and [plan to go out] and try and win the final this year.”

Life can sometimes be one gut punch after another.
For heart-wounded cowboy, Tucker Dalton, it started with a tough childhood and a rebellious streak. A car accident lands him in prison, living with never-ending guilt and inconvenient feelings for his best friend’s woman. It’s enough to make anyone give up.
Life can be tough for a woman too.
For Brooke McGuire, it started with the loss of her childhood home and abandonment by her parents. A string of poor choices lead to loneliness and a complicated relationship. When she calls it quits, an argument ends in an accident, killing her boyfriend and putting her in a coma. It’s enough to make anyone lose hope.
Can a heart-wounded, cowboy find a second chance at love? Only if Brooke is strong enough to keep fighting.
This could be the start of something beautiful… only time will tell.
All of this was her fault. She shouldn’t have let Tucker even touch her, but she hadn’t been able to resist that small amount of comfort he offered. It had been missing in her life. Kyle hadn’t touched her in nearly a year with any gentleness. He had become controlling, possessive, aggressive, and now violent. This was turning into one of his worst moments.
Tucker shook his head. Shaggy, black hair brushed his collar and blood dripped onto his white shirt, which was growing wet from melting sleet pellets. He cupped his injured jaw, then he looked from Brooke’s dangling scarf to the bruises on her neck.
“What the hell?” He turned toward Kyle again, now standing, angry beyond words.
Brooke tried to wrap the scarf again, mortified at what he’d seen. “It-it’s nothing,” she mumbled.
“You did that?” Tucker hissed, pinning Kyle with a furious glare.
For a second, Kyle appeared confused as he looked at Brooke. “We argued.”
“Argued!” Tucker shouted and shoved to his feet. “You put your hands around her throat.”
Kyle rammed a fist into Tucker’s stomach.
Determined, Brooke moved closer. “Stop!”
The men glowered at her for interfering. “Stay back,” they both growled.
Uncertain what to do, she retreated. Her heart hammered, and she wrapped her arms around her ribs.
Tucker was distracted watching her and Kyle hit him again, causing him to stumble backward. He reached up to cup his jaw and swore as more blood trickled from his mouth. “Damn, Kyle!”
Brooke felt sick about the fight. This had to stop.
Kyle’s expression hardened. “This has been a long time … coming.” The words came out slurred.
“What the hell are you talking about?” Tucker shook his head, his forehead creasing. “What’s gotten into you? You’re acting crazy.”

About 7,000 Christians have been needlessly killed in Nigeria since retired General Muhammadu Buhari mounted the saddles democratically elected President on May 29, 2015 while over 1,000 churches and other Christian facilities have been destroyed during the same period, the Int’l Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law (Intersociety) alleged on Sunday.
Quoting the result of its research work, the foremost rights group in a statement issued in Onitsha lamented that Nigeria under Buhari’s watch has been turned into “a unitary Islamic State”.
The statement signed by Emeka Umeagbalasi and Obianuju Igboeli, Esq. identified the South-East region as one of the worst hit in the unwarranted killings. It blamed the carnage on “the lopsidedness inherent in the national and regional lists of security service chiefs and heads of paramilitary and justice establishments in Nigeria.” “The acute lopsidedness,” according to Intersociety, “has fueled and deepened ethno-religious divisions; undermined the unity and cohesiveness and grossly retarded the growth and development of the country.”
Part of the statement reads: “Apart from thousands of defenseless citizens, mainly Christians, killed by Boko Haram Islamic insurgents since June 2015, Government backed Fulani jihadists who solely target and kill Christians and burn or destroy their sacred places of worship; are further responsible for killing since June 2015 of no fewer than seven thousand Christians and burning or destruction of over 1,000 churches and other Christian facilities. In 2018 alone, no fewer than 2,400 Christians were targeted and massacred by the Government protected jihadists with hundreds of churches and other Christian facilities burnt to ashes or destroyed. As at end of October 2018, no fewer than 2,262 Christians were killed.
“Shockingly, in all these anti-Christian butcheries, the central Government of Nigeria has done little or nothing. Perpetrators are not only known and walking the streets of Nigeria freely, but have also come out boldly to endorse the Presidential Candidate of the APC and threatened more killings if the Candidate lost in the poll. The central Government, on its part, has not hidden its circumstantial or vicarious support for the jihadists and their patrons. Its military has gone to the extent of abandoning its core military duties and responsibilities to become cattle rearing entity or industry. Totality of these has been linked to lopsided or jihadist composition of the country’s security establishments especially its service chiefs and heads of paramilitary and justice establishments since July 2015.
“Regionally, particularly in the Southeast and Igbo South-South Region of Nigeria, the military and other security formations and their headships are also lopsidedly composed and flooded with officers of the Hausa-Fulani Muslim background with ethno-religious or jihadist motives characterizing discharge of their security responsibilities. The lopsided composition was recently investigated and researched on and linked to the August 2015 to September 2017 military massacre operations in Eastern Nigeria that led to mass killing of no fewer than 480 defenseless citizens of Igbo-Southeast and Igbo-South-south origin; during which over 500 others were also shot at close range and critically injured.
“Owing to same lopsidedness and Islamist styled or violent system of administration, it has been researchably found by Intersociety that (1) the Southeast Region of Nigeria has perpetually remained under military siege since August 2015, (2) over 95% of commanding officers of the military formations in Southeast Region and Igbo South-south are Northern Muslim officers; likewise top Police and SSS commanders including Commissioners of Police for Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi, Enugu and Delta States and Directors of SSS for Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Ebonyi and Abia States as well as the AIG in charge of Zone 9, Umuahia, (3) Southeast Region and Delta State lost not less than N336b in the past 40 months (August 2015 to December 2018) owing to police and military insecurity and corruption and general disruption of the economic activities of the Region on account of the military massacre operations and their aftermath.
“(4) Out of the whopping N336b lost, N100b was lost to police, military and paramilitary extortions in 40 months (August 2015-December 2018), (5) Total of over 480 defenseless citizens were shot and killed in the Region under non war situations and outside the law by military and police personnel between 30th August 2015 and 14th September 2017 on orders of the Buhari/Osinbajo’s Presidency, (6) Over 500 defenseless citizens were also shot at close range and critically injured during the military massacre operations in the Igbo heartland (Southeast and Igbo South-south) with scores crippled for life, (7) Other atrocities of national, regional and international law breaches were also perpetrated in the Region during the military massacre operations; with no single perpetrator arrested, tried and sentenced till date.
“(8) Southeast Region is a major, if not perpetual victim of the Buhari/Osinbajo Administration’s victimization, persecution and structural violence policies; including being the only Region without a security service chief, with least number in the command structures of the Nigeria Police Force and the Military and least recipient of strategic federal appointments and federally allocated or executed projects, etc, (9) Southeast Region is the most potentially endangered Region in Nigeria owing to infiltration of strategic parts of the Region including communal forests and boundary and other strategic locations by government backed jihadist elements using military operations and networks as a cover or backup.”
The statement came with Five Tables and their auxiliaries in JPG format “showing the national and regional (Southeast and Igbo South-South) lopsidedly composed security lists or Northern Muslim dominated security service chiefs and heads of paramilitary and justice establishments fueling ceaseless killing of Christians particularly in the old Middle Belt and the military massacre operations in Eastern Nigeria.”
Table One represents the Northern Table showing citizens of Northern Nigeria occupying 18 top security, paramilitary and justice positions out of the country’s top 22 security and related others positions. Of 18 top positions occupied by the North, 17 are Muslims and only one is Northern Christian.
Table 1 (b) represents Southern Table, with only four top security positions, out of which two are Christians and two others are Christians. In the said Southern Table, no citizen of the Southeast is among the occupants of the country’s top 22 security, paramilitary or justice positions. In all the 22 top positions, 19 are Muslims and 3 are Christians.
Table 2 (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) represents the names, ethno-religious and geopolitical allocation of the country’s 31 serving Assistant Inspectors General of Police (AIGs) valid as at 31st December 2018; indicating that North has a total of 23 AIGs involving Northwest = 10, Northeast = 5 and North-Central = 8, while South has 8 AIGs involving Southwest = 6, South-South = 1 and Southeast = 1. Of the total 31 serving AIGs in the country, 22 are Muslims and 9 are Christians. The only Igbo/Southeast Police AIG in the list-AIG Godwin C. Nwobodo (Enugu State) will retire statutorily on 12th August 2019.
Table 3 (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) represents the names, ethno-religious and geopolitical allocation of the country’s 12 serving Assistant Inspectors General of Police (AIGs) in charge of the 12 Police Zonal Commands as at 31st December 2018. Of the 12 Police Zonal AIGs, North has 9 and South 3; out of which 8 are Muslims and 4 are Christians. In the said list of 12 Police Zonal AIGs, the Southeast with total sedentary and pastoral population of no fewer than 50m is excluded or allocated with zero Police Zonal AIG till date.
Table 4 (a) and (b) represents the names and ethno-religious backgrounds of 18 top military commanders of 18 top military formations in Southeast and Igbo South-south Region of Nigeria as at 12th January 2019. The list shows that 13 out of the 18 top military officers are military officers of Northern Hausa-Fulani Muslim background. Others are two Northern Christians and three Southwest or Yoruba Muslims. Shockingly, none of the 18 named top military officers manning military formations in the Southeast and Igbo South-south Region of Nigeria is of Igbo-Christian extraction or origin.
Table 5 (a) and (b) represents the names and ethno-religious backgrounds of Commissioners of Police (CPs) and Directors of SSS posted as at 12th January 2019 to Southeast and Delta State (a state with approximately 40% Igbo population). As clearly indicated in the table, out of the six CPs, five are Northern Muslims and one is an Igbo-Christian who will retire on 30th April 2019. In the list of the State Directors of SSS, out of the six, three are Northern Muslims, one a Southwest or Yoruba Christian or Muslim and one an Igbo woman married in Edo State, South-south Nigeria.
