WORDS : EMANUEL MATOS
Cro-Mags’s 1992 record Alpha Omega would be considered an anomaly by most standards – A third album where the debut vocalist returned after several years and one album apart, co-written by two guitar players that left the band before the studio recordings and subsequent touring that eventually collapsed whatever momentum the group had going.
Alpha Omega is, in fact, a decent effort at what they did best: ferociously blending hardcore and metal with a Hare Krishna outlook on life
By Cro-Mags standards – a group with one the most abnormal histories ever – Alpha Omega is, in fact, a decent effort at what they did best: ferociously blending hardcore and metal with a Hare Krishna outlook on life. After years of tumultuous line-up changes, John Joseph, who performed vocal duties on Cro-Mags 1986 game-changer debut The Age of Quarrel (AoQ) got back together with founding bassist Harley Flanagan to work on a new record.
However, any hopes NYHC enthusiasts had about this being a return to form were laid to rest with the simultaneous departure of original guitarist Parris Mayhew, who was a key songwriter and a driving force behind the metallic hardcore sound the band was instrumental in establishing and that would become seminal for decades to come.
In an almost ironic way, the album makes justice to its title. There’s a shortcoming for every strength on display, and its nine tracks do indeed feel endless in some instances, albeit not for the best reasons.
Solid opener “See The Signs”, which feels like a logical continuation from previous album Best Wishes, is followed by the cringy “Eyes Of Tomorrow”, an attempt at rap metal that sounds as gimmicky as the DJ scratches that it contains. “The Paths of Perfection”, the record’s single and a track where Joseph’s melodic singing doesn’t fall from grace, is preceded by “Apocalypse Now”, an 8-minute jam that, likewise to the movie of the same name, should have left some parts on the cutting room floor. And that’s not even the album’s longest track.
Alpha Omega was Cro-Mags’ attempt to move away from the rawness of AoQ and deliver a body of work more on par with thrash metal of the time
As far as lyrics go, you can tell this was an album written in the aftermath of the Gulf War and the Rodney King beating. Hindu spirituality is still present, yet it is often paired or outshined by incisive socio-political commentary on issues such as racism (“Apocalypse Now”) and the nefarious consequences that war generates both overseas and domestically, as highlighted on the brutally honest track “Victims”.
Alpha Omega was Cro-Mags’ attempt to move away from the rawness of AoQ and deliver a body of work more on par with thrash metal of the time. It definitely has an early 90s timestamp and stands tall next to metal releases of the same era, so much that it was released by Century Media, making them labelmates with outfits as diverse as Sodom, EyeHateGod and Moonspell.
The thrash sound is dominant throughout and the production of Tom Soares – who rakes NYHC studio credits by the dozens, from Shelter to Judge or Sick Of It All – pushes all the right buttons. Large hall echoing drums, crunchy guitars and just the right amount of effects to keep Joseph’s inconsistent voice submerged under the instrumental yet edgy enough to come alive in the right moments.
Despite the overall steadiness and some ear-catching moments, it’s impossible not to feel something is missing. Take a song like “Kuruksetra”: excellent riffs, a flawless balance between bouncy and shredding tempos, surgical breakdown inserted just in the right moment, and even if the singing is not a highlight it also doesn’t taint the composition. Still, it doesn’t even come close to be as memorable as the middleweight tracks off AoQ.
Far from being their best offering, Alpha Omega sits well with the metal of the time while packing enough feeling and message to keep any hardcore fan intrigued rather than alienated
By leaving out some of the hardcore punk trademarks in nearly every song – shout and gang vocals, fast drums, streetwise lyrics – the Mags also, unfortunately, removed part of what made their sound unique. Far from being their best offering, Alpha Omega sits well with the metal of the time while packing enough feeling and message to keep any hardcore fan intrigued rather than alienated.
DJ scratches aside, it confirmed that hardcore bands didn’t have to be pigeonholed to the limitations of their native genre and could make music that would appeal to audiences beyond their scene. It helped to solidify the crossover style that groups like Biohazard and Leeway were already fine-tuning at the time and ultimately elevated just a few years later.
It also may be the last “authentic” Cro-Mags album, one where they were neither trying to recreate past glories nor disastrously distance themselves from them.

Electric Skateboards uses the conveniences of using a frequent skateboard without the bulk and mess. An electricity skateboard basically is actually a small personal carrier built around a lightweight skateboard. The cyclist’s rate is actually generally regulated either through a foot-operated portable throttle or even remote control in between back as well as front of the board to quickly modify its instructions of motion. This function makes them very hassle-free for newbies who wish to get in shape without all the problem of using a real skateboard. These little bit of electricity skates are likewise best for those that wish to take part in severe sporting activities such as downhill snowboarding or snow boarding.
In order to completely use the benefits of electrical skateboards, it is actually needed to recognize exactly how their electric motor jobs. When the motorcyclist puts his/her shoes down on the deck, the electric motor drives the skateboard ahead along with power coming from the electric batteries. A steering wheel connected to the electric motor aids to spin the ride steering wheels. This turning movement is actually after that converted right into sidewards activity that moves the skateboard onward. Esterel Org
There are actually 2 forms of electric motors used in power skateboards – DC as well as A/C. Air Conditioning motors, which utilize straight present (DC) from an electric battery, create faster rates than the DC motors that make use of rotating present (Air Conditioner). They require to be actually transformed much faster to create up for the difference in rate given that A/C steering wheels move quicker than DC wheels.
One of the essential functions of these skateboards is their regenerative stopping device. The battery utilizes the recouped energy to transform the wheels much faster, allowing the rider to ride forward at a higher fee of rate for a longer time period of opportunity.
One important part to take into consideration in electric skateboards is actually the longevity of the deck. Some skateboard providers make their personal decks, numerous of them rent them and those that carry out certainly not will commonly rent all of them to customers.
One more factor to consider for acquiring an electric skateboard consists of the capacity to change the slant of the trip. Numerous power skateboards possess the ability to ride at different angles, which can help make an assortment of impacts, like increasing or even quiting, along with reverse riding. Raising the angle of the flight can produce a so much more exciting to ride, however can likewise enhance the danger of blowing up, since a much faster trip may simply be actually kept at extremely high speeds. However, motorcyclists intending a reduced price of velocity should look for panels that provide smaller slopes and a lot less full throttle.
The final part of an electricity skateboards assessments is actually the size as well as body weight of the board deck. Those looking for a slower, extra natural ride on their boards ought to think about a panel deck that possesses a reduced center of gravitation and also larger wheelbase to supply improved footing. Best Electric Skateboards
There are countless makes as well as designs of electricity skateboards on the market today. Most of these makers make use of brushless motors. These electric motors provide the energy for the electrical skateboards tires and transmit signs to the biker’s legs, which equates right into a soft, moving adventure.
Basic components of electricity skateboards consist of the trucks, wheels, center and also the primary board. The wheels have 2 essential parts: the steering wheel as well as the hub. Centers are actually made from 3 components: a hub-axle setting up as well as two bandaged sets of wheel bearings. These bearings make it possible for the tires to spin with ease as well as additionally to give rubbing for the skateboard to perform gliding activities. The steering wheels are usually covered with plastic, yet much more costly electric skateboards may be covered with metal.
The vehicles are yet another important part of a power skateboard. Trucks differ apiece other in numerous methods: in regards to form (e.g. around, square or even rectangular), lot of wheels (e.g. 4, six or even eight), steering wheel diameter and so on.
The ultimate basic component of an electrical skateboard is the Digital Rate Operator (ESC). This is actually the “heart” of the machine. It regulates the velocity and also performance of the skateboard by offering the appropriate stopping pressure and current to every wheel. The controller may be made use of in conjunction with the electric motor, or it could be made use of as an individual gadget.
The benefit of utilization a digital system is actually that it offers quick feedback in order to the functionality of the cyclist. As an example, if you make an inappropriate turn your e-skateboard will immediately allow you recognize which way is appropriate, without taking you off the rails! An additional wonderful advantage of the longboard and also e-skateboard combo is the protection aspect. Considering that they’re each extremely light as well as easy to hop on as well as off, the possibilities of falling while taking the skate boarding experience instead of driving a typical skateboard is incredibly reduced.
Electric longboards also often tend to have better electric battery life than ordinary skateboards. The factor for this is actually that there is actually no need to possess a slow spinning tire (which demands even more electrical power) to push yourself onward. Also, considering that there is actually no equipment screen, you obtain a smoother, even more dependable trip which will lessen your wind resistance, making electricity skateboards a terrific option for folks who don’t like to workout outsides. Best Men Face Wash
In rundown, electric skateboards deliver wonderful efficiency as well as are actually simpler to use than their typical equivalent. If you want the complete benefits of an electrical skateboard, purchase one along with a premium electric motor and also a top quality electric battery.

The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) ability to commandeer, refit, and deploy different types of armoured vehicles in battle against national forces worries defence planners and strategists.
Despite the Nigerian military and it’s regional allies domiciled under the auspice of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) spirited efforts in dislodging ISWAP from all their enclaves, the group still retains it’s ability to acquire armoured vehicles to sustain their campaign.
Strategically, ISWAP and it’s sister terror group Jama’atu Ahlis Sunnah lid-Da’wati wa’l-Jihad also known as JAS or Boko Haram has been more or less subdued to their lowest strength.
JAS (Boko Haram); on the battlefield is now considered a spent force, and insignificant. However, on the other hand, ISWAP still maintains a sliver of warfighting capacity. These is directly connected to their ability to capture, modify, and utilise motorised vehicles, and boats to navigate water bodies.
JAS primarily make use of two types of vehicles to spearhead it’s attacks against national forces as well as carry out ambushes.
First, are captured armoured personnel carriers, armoured combat vehicles, mraps, technicals, and sometimes (albeit rarely) main battle tanks.
They capture these types of armoured combat vehicles whenever they overrun a national military’s position. In such instance, ISWAP refits the captured vehicles with Heavy Machine Guns (HMG) such as the Soviet-designed NSV and DShK HMGs, Chinese-designed W-85, and Type 85 HMGs chambered for 12.7 mm bullets.
For technicals, they mount multiple rocket launcher tubes for firing 107mm and 122mm unguided rockets, and in some cases dual configuration with a recoilless gun and HMG.
These weapons are also mostly captured from national forces, or acquired from the black market and smuggled into the country through the porous borders.
The second type of vehicles predominantly utilized by ISWAP are improvised up-armoured vehicle, mostly use as regular troops transport vehicle, and sometimes as suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (SVBIEDs) to penetrate national forces defensive positions.
The terror groups are also known for salvaging reinforced parts and materials from captured or abandoned military armoured vehicles such as armoured glass windshields and attaching them to up-armoured their own vehicles most times on Toyota Chassis.
Toyota Hilux and Buffalo Land Cruisers make up a significant portion of the vehicles in the ISWAP inventory, and usually deployed with ground assault and anti-aircraft weapon systems. They are mostly used for troops transport and for fire support. In the latter scenerio, using a mounted HMG or recoilless rifle.
It is worth stating that majority of this vehicles are usually either destroyed of retrieved by the militaries of the MNJTF alliance, with the bulk of the efforts coming from the Nigerian Army and the Air Force (NAF).
These armoured vehicles (both improvised and otherwise) are routinely targeted by fixed and rotary combat aircraft of the NAF. However, the terror group has adapted by hiding them underneath tree cover and covering vehicles with leaves and mud to evade aircraft.
The terror group’s ability to acquire, operationalize, and deploy these vehicles signals a higher level of mechanical competencies to use commercial off-the-shelf components or parts from captured vehicles to keep it’s inventory active, thus continues to pose a challenge to national forces, and defence strategists.
Besides airstrikes, the land forces response to this threat are usually artillery strikes against the terror group’s convoys and staging areas.
Secondly, the Nigerian Army (NA) answer also comes in form of combat vehicles armed with higher caliber guns capable of penetrating the armour of the terrorists vehicles.
The NA typically utilizes it’s main battle tanks composing of VT-4s, T-72s, Vickers, and T-55; armoured combat vehicles like the ST-1 gun support vehicle, FV101 Scorpion, FV107 Scimitar, ERC-90 Sagaie, and Panhard AML to neutralize the threat.
Although, quite able to handle the threat posed by the armoured vehicles of the terrorists, the NA vehicles are also vulnerable to rocket propelled grenades and recoilless rifle fire.
As long as the jihadists continues to lay their hands on armoured vehicles captured from national forces, these threat will continue to exist thus, prolonging the conflict.
However, Nigeria’s forces armed with modern long-range surveillance and detection sensors capable of detecting vehicles using real-time image recognition software, and Artificial Intelligence, and connected to firepower will able to neutralize these threat from a distance thereby turning the table against the terrorists.


Greg Hardy’s first-round knockout of Austen Lane, which occurred on this week’s episode of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, earned him a “development” contract with the UFC. Speaking to TMZ this week, Dana White himself shed some light on what this development deal will actually look like, and when we might see Hardy again.
Apparently, White is hoping to have Hardy compete on another episode of the Contender Series in July. In other words, we can expect the UFC to build Hardy up via other avenues before he debuts in the Octagon proper.
“Obviously, he’s got a lot of raw talent, and he’s very powerful, and he looked damn good in his showing at the Dana White Tuesday Night Contender Series,” White said (transcribed by Milan Ordoñez for BloodyElbow). “So, we signed him to a different type of deal, deals we’ve done with other people where you see some promise, and you give the athletes the opportunity to build themselves up, get better.”
“In a perfect world, what I’d love to do is turn him around and [have him fight] again in the last fight of the Contender Series, the last fight of the season [in July],” White clarified, sharing plans for Hardy’s second pro fight.
White also commented on the ugly domestic violence charge that follows Hardy into the MMA limelight. Despite the fact that there are survivors of domestic violence on the UFC roster, he doesn’t seem too concerned. He’s convinced the former NFL player is a changed man.
“This guy can become Mother Teresa and start healing the sick and doing all kinds of things, this is how he’s always gonna be looked at,” White said. “What I respect about the guy is he did something really bad and horrible. He went through everything you need to go though after you do something disgusting like that. Then he hit rock bottom, picked himself back up, started to work his way up to become not only a better human being but a better athlete.”
”Everything that I see in the guy … he’s changed.”
What do you think the future holds for Greg Hardy?

NER BECK: An Exhibition of Photographs of Lost & Found New York City Street Art, Part 2
September 6th, 2013 - October 31st, 2013
Ner Beck’s exhibition of over 30 all new photographs, captured over the past year, will be displayed at the St. Agnes Branch of the New York Public Library. As a New York City graphic artist and designer, he has had a lifelong interest in overlooked street art found on his daily walks in neighborhoods throughout the city. Besides his fascination with face-finding and found art there is also a section on display of colorful prism-like reflections on windows.
In a recent interview he discusses how ordinary street objects inspire him. “It might be a glowing color on an overcast rainy day, two circles that make a pair of eyes that speak to you, or a juxtaposition of elements that tell a strange or interesting story. It must also include a strong emotion such as humor, sadness, fear, abandonment or something expressing itself in a powerful personal way. Many of my images contain faces and that has always been interesting to me because they can express such a range of emotions that everyone can identify with such a visceral way. They can be compelling in the same way a child loves their stuffed animal or when an adult looks into the face of a family member or their pet, and over the centuries masks have had an important historical significance and always commanded everyone’s attention. Every day, as New Yorkers hurriedly target their destinations they tend to aim themselves straight ahead, frequently missing these faces, creatures, mini-environments, architectural details, holiday characters and unintended visual statements waiting to be noticed and appreciated. So the next time you travel on foot, try walking a little slower, relaxing and glancing obliquely. Many of these visual stories have always been there, some are permanent and others disappear overnight. Look for them, they are everywhere, waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.”
Library Visitors’ Comments...
“What a wonderful and different way to observe the world.”
“This beautiful exhibition speaks for true love for a city.”
“Authentically hilarious in a down and out dirty way.”
“This way of looking should be an assignment for NYC high school photography students.”
“Your exhibit was my serendipity for the day.”
“Tickled my brain cells.”
“That’s why NYPL rocks! Artwork like this!”
“Amusing, clever and a tad weird.”
“I applaud your capturing everyday miracles.”
“Beck’s combination of color and grit in his photos is intoxicating to me.”
“Thanks for making me laugh, makes me appreciate the city in a friendly way, perfect for NYPL.”

The finger that clicks my camera shutter always gets itchy when I see light falling a certain way on an object. A week or so ago, the Crispy Leaves caught its attention; the other day the Crispier Leaf caused me to snap.
It looked so simple sitting there. It could have been a sea shell that I stopped to inspect. This leaf had stripes! It seemed so simple and geometric. I bet I could have taken a ruler, extended the lines of the shadows and discovered that they all met at one point.
What could be more straightforward and simple to paint? I would guide my brush in slow arcs, imitating the pleated surface of this once-flat leaf, allow space for a stripe of lighter color and make another brown arc.
It was not easy as it looked. Today’s study was one of the most frustrating ones I have done in a long time. The initial sketch was fine. I imitated the curves pretty well. Then I started on the far left end and tried to paint all the lightly shaded areas, leaving the brightest ones blank to let the paper white serve for the lightest tone. I worked my way right, across the leaf.
I tried to repeat myself for the darker tones. Then I got a bit confused. The sections along the central vein did not match up! The gradations of tone on the upper half of the subject had a much smaller range than the lower half.
I did the best I could, painted a grassy shadow under the leaf and some green blotches above, and stopped painting.
I had to try again, this time, reducing the number of variables. I removed color from the equation and tried a sketch.
Still not the best, but I felt more in control with tones from blackest black to the white of the paper.
One of the best (and at the same time, worst) thing about painting and drawing is the number of details of line, shape and shading that emerge the longer one looks at a subject. I sometimes get lost in the details. Other times, I just want to get the idea of my subject on paper: the essence of it. Both modes of art are worth pursuing and can be very rewarding – if frustration can be conquered.

PARIS — American authorities formally demanded the extradition of Roman Polanski late Thursday, setting in motion the next legal struggle for the Oscar-winning film director over his flight in 1978 from sentencing for unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl.
The American Embassy in Bern submitted the request on Thursday to the Federal Office of Justice in Switzerland, where Mr. Polanski has been imprisoned since his arrest on Sept. 26 at the Zurich airport. With that paperwork filed, Swiss authorities will now forward the demand to the canton of Zurich to hold a hearing on the issue, according to a statement from the Swiss federal office.
If the local authorities order extradition, Mr. Polanski, who holds French and Polish citizenship, can still appeal the decision to the Swiss Federal Criminal Court and the Federal Supreme Court.
Both of Mr. Polanski’s French lawyers, Georges Kiejman and Hervé Temime, had expected the extradition request to be filed before November. They say that Mr. Polanski could end up sitting in the Swiss jail for six months or more while the appeals process runs its course.
With the specter of a lengthy extradition fight, Mr. Kiejman said on Wednesday that all options are open, including the possibility that Mr. Polanski would agree to return, although both he and Mr. Temime said the director plans to fight the extradition demand.Continue reading the main story

[Will is back and he has one of the most interesting vehicles I have never heard of. The pre-WW2 years in Germany, for better or worse (well, for worse), must have been some of the most interesting times in terms of enginering ingenuity and this is just another example of that. This reminds to read a few more books about Europen history between 1930 and 1960. -Kamil]
Take a central tube frame, two free swinging axles, two two-stroke engines, and a few odds and ends, and put it all together. What would you get? Well, either a big pile of parts or an innovated German off-road vehicle.
The Vidal & Sohn Tempo-Werk GmbH, also known as Tempo built this vehicle in 1936. The Tempo 1200, as it was called, used two two-stroke engines, one in the front and one in the back. The setup could provide traction to all four-wheels or power one set of wheels thanks to one of the engines being shut off. The 1200 also came with four-wheel steering.
The body sat on a flexible tubular frame which allowed the front axle and engine to move around as the vehicle was going over terrain. Tempo also fitted free swinging axles to help the 1200 get through obstacles, no matter the terrain.
When Tempo offered the 1200 to the German Military, they weren’t interested, despite the 1200 being triumphant in many off-roading challenges. No one knows exactly how many 1200s were built in 1936. Estimates put it at around 1300 vehicles, with most being exported out of Germany.

How can medical intuition help me?
Your body holds vibrational messages about your past and what’s happening at the present.
These messages can be received by a medical intuitive, such as myself, to help identify energy blockages in your physical, emotional and spiritual bodies.
When I scan you, I tune into your energy body and see, feel and hear in my body what is happening in your body.
The root cause of your discomfort or illness is trapped emotion. Together we work with the healing templates I’ve developed over the last 30 years to release these blockages.
Begin the journey to balance your body yourself! This is a powerful life changing experience.
Give me a call – +61 (0) 421 542 436 – ask any questions you want about how I work – or opt-in below & I’ll email you.
If we are meant to work together it will feel good to get started on your self-healing adventure.
A common question is “Do you work long distance?”
In the book, “The Intention Experiment”, Lynne McTaggart says when scientist, Gary Schwartz was exploring healing “In some instances, healers sent healing from thousands of miles away and the effect did not decay with distance.”
The conclusion about the source of distance healing … “It was likely to be closer to a quantum field, possibly more akin to light.”
I agree with this concept … not only about distance healing – but the ability to see inside the body and diagnose over great distances.
Hi, I’m Julie Lewin and like you I’ve experienced health and wellness challenges. And I was determined to overcome them.
When this journey of medical intuition began in October 1984, I unconsciously declared a limiting belief … “I have to overcome cancer to be recognised as an authentic healer.”
Be careful what you think about – you may manifest it. In May 2000, I was diagnosed with cancer. In May 2012, the cancer returned. In May 2015, I was discharged from the cancer clinic with the best bloods in 15 years and my thyroid medication reduced.
Self-healing templates developed over the past 30 years are the reason I am alive today to teach you how to activate your inner healing resources.
What would it mean to you to have a toolkit of healing resources to help you transform your mind | body | spirit?
Well, I know it would mean EVERYTHING to you!
Dearest Julie, I just wanted to write and thank you so very much for our session today. I feel simultaneously exhilarated and calm (if that is possible). When I was guided to you I was aware at some level that there were some deep issues waiting to be brought to light and I’m so very grateful for your compassionate guidance and support as we zero’d in and cleared those blocks away. I loved your process, you created such a safe space for me, I felt valued, acknowledged and ultimately renewed. Julie, thank you for having the courage to use your gifts, our world is such a richer place for you being in it.
I was unwell for a long time. The main problem was irritable bowel syndrome, frequent migraines and low energy. I have tried many healers and diets over the years with limited success. At times I have despaired, but was determined to find a way to be well. Eventually my search led me to Julie Lewin who introduced me to dowsing. This has led to a major turn-around in my health and wellbeing. I am now well most of the time, my digestion system feels like it is healing and I am gradually able to eat more foods. I seldom get migraines and my energy levels are much higher. I don’t know how Julie works – it just works!
The solution to your wellness is within you!
Let me help you find it with intuition and begin the journey to Regain your Health, Happiness and Vitality together
You have given me HOPE which is an incredible gift and has lifted me from such a dark place to a place that seems more manageable – thankyou!
Julie is genuine – she has a real gift and she will have some insight or answer for the burden you are struggling with. I know this to be true!

The United States State Department’s inspector general is set to take a further look at former secretary Hillary Clinton’s personal email server that she used during her time in charge at Foggy Bottom.
“In the past, when faced with employees who were using non-governmental email accounts for government business, the OIG questioned such activities,” State inspector general Steven Linick wrote in a response to Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, The Washington Examiner reported.
“The Senate Judiciary Committee, which has direct legislative jurisdiction over FOIA, needs to have a clear understanding of the effects that these email practices at the State Department have had on FOIA compliance,” Grassley wrote to Linick in March.
Advertisement – story continues below
The non-partisan group Cause of Action filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request earlier this year seeking documents connected to Clinton’s personal email server. Not much was returned when State responded. The Examiner explains from there:
Just six of those were given to Cause of Action in their entirety, with the others being redacted or punted to the State Department for further review. But the few records that the agency did release had nothing to do with the information requested, and were not even produced during Clinton’s time in office.
The documents provided to Cause of Action included a letter from the Republican National Committee to Linick and several others from prominent GOP senators to the inspector general, all expressing concerns with his reluctance to investigate Clinton’s use of a private server.
Undersecretary of State for management Patrick Kennedy issued a memo in February reminding employees of their “overall records management responsibilities, including email, and issued a director to preserve electronically the email of senior officials upon their departure from the Department.”
Advertisement - story continues below
Kennedy continued: “We are also conducting a detailed study of email management options for the department and investigating the business implications of implementing a Capstone approach for the automatic capture of senior officials’ email.”
Will anything come up in an investigation into Hillary’s emails and policies which led to her using a personal server? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

The listed bonds of the Federal Government on the Nigerian Stock Exchange as of March 31 this year were N6.82tn.
The figure, according to findings by our correspondent, was generated from a total of 20 listings on the bourse.
Following a series of monetary policy actions to boost liquidity and rate convergence in the foreign exchange market, the NSE marked a positive market performance in the first quarter and saw monthly turnover reach a two-year high of N142.56bn in March this year.
In the first three months of the year, the average daily value traded across all products on the NSE increased by 47.58 per cent to N3.56bn, from N2.41bn in the previous year.
However, the average daily volume traded declined by 45.18 per cent to 308.94 million units from 563.53 million units in the first quarter of 2016, indicating more high value/low volume trades in the first three months of 2017 compared to the previous year.
At the end of the quarter, the average price earnings ratio of the Exchange’s listed equities stood at 18.83 compared to 13.98 in the previous year.
The equity turnover velocity also increased by 3.45 percentage points to 10.28, from 6.83 per cent in Q1 2016.
The dividend yield for the period ending March 31, 2017 was 5.97 per cent, compared to 6.93 per cent for the previous year.

The Director-General, DMO, Dr. Abraham Nwankwo, had commended Nigerians for participating in the first issuance of the bond on March 13, 2017.
“This is the first time that the Federal Government ensured that the common Nigerians participate in a bond and about 75 per cent of these deals were from ordinary Nigerians,” he had said.
The Savings Bond, the first of its kind in Nigeria, was opened to the investing public by way of offer for subscription over a five-day offer period starting from Monday, March 13 to March 17, 2017, and N2,067,961,000 was raised from the retail market at 13.01 per cent coupon.

Back to Work and Back to the Links
Sometimes, a job is just a job. But other times, there are risks that catch us by surprise.
That was the case for 53-year-old Spotswood, New Jersey resident Bijen Patel, whose career as a restaurant manager led him down a path to physical disability. That’s because one of his restaurant roles entailed lifting boxes and buckets, some as heavy as 50 pounds or more.
And how long did he perform this gym-worthy task? “Over 25 years,” he reports. “Too many years.” His current restaurant stint that began in August 2017 requires a 60-hour week. That all adds up to a lot of lifting.
What’s more, he admits that in hindsight, he also wasn’t lifting with proper technique. “The pain built up over time and age; it all catches up to you,” he says.
Finding a Solution to a Common Problem
The trouble began in early 2018. Slowly and intermittently at first, he began to experience arm pain radiating down to his right hand. He went to his family doctor in January, who gave him a cortisone shot to ease the pain. That worked, until it didn’t. The cortisone wore off and the pain returned.
Patel went back to his doctor in April, who told him that continuing pain could not be solved by more cortisone injections. The doctor told Patel that he should see an orthopedist and recommended University Orthopaedic Associates (UOA).
In July Patel was paired with Dr. Christopher Doumas, a hand and upper extremity specialist at UOA. Relates Patel, “As soon as I told him about the pain, he performed an ultrasound to see if there was damage to the of my right arm.”
Dr. Doumas pointed out a couple of areas of tendon disease evident from the ultrasound, coming from Patel’s elbow. This was confirmation of a condition called lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow.
Although Patel felt the pain extending into his hand, lateral epicondylitis is the most common cause of elbow pain, which especially affects those age 40 to 60. It is caused by repetitive use of the wrist extensor muscles and tendons.
In addition to tennis and other similar sports or activities, tennis elbow is a common malady among workers such as plumbers or painters and those like Patel who often lift heavy objects.
It was evident to Dr. Doumas from the ultrasound and failure of conservative treatment that a small procedure was the next step. “This is the best course of action that can help you heal, and can prevent further damage to the tendons,” Dr. Doumas told Patel.
Surgery is not a recommendation Dr. Doumas makes lightly. Careful and conservative treatment is the basis of his personal experience and philosophy. But in Patel’s case, the procedure was clearly indicated.
In addition to other methods of tennis elbow treatment, Dr. Doumas is also an expert in Tenex Health TX, a minimally invasive outpatient surgery that precisely targets and removes damaged tissue. This surgery has been shown in a number of clinical studies to decrease pain and improve overall functionality. It is also much less invasive with less risk involved than typical open procedures and is performed under local anesthesia so the patient is awake without any of the risks or ill effects of anesthesia
On November 14th, Patel underwent outpatient surgery. “It was easier than I thought,” he says of Tenex recovery. “I didn’t feel anything other than a little pain on the second night.” He took some Advil that night but no other pain medication.
The Road to Recovery
Patel was instructed to keep his arm in a sling and remained on disability for three weeks. “I missed going to work,” he says, “but I had no choice. I couldn’t do my job since I mostly have to use my right hand.”
He went back to work on December 8, and when he explained to his coworkers that he couldn’t initially lift anything, they all pitched in and helped him.
Patel began light lifting by the middle of January and his recovery continues. Overall, “everything is fine,” he reports.
To minimize the risk of getting a recurrence, Patel gets by with a little help from his friends. “I used to pick up merchandise, load and unload,” says Patel. “Now, my coworkers do it for me. ‘You stay in the restaurant; we’ll do everything else,’ they tell me.”
Of his care from Dr. Doumas he says, “I’m happy. I found the right doctor. Dr. Doumas is a very pleasant person. By my second appointment, I felt like I had known him for a long time.” Of UOA and his treatment he feels that, “everyone was very professional and courteous.”
Longing for His Game
Only one hurdle remains. As he explains, “The bad thing is I can’t golf,” says Patel. He’s enjoyed the sport since 2004 but has missed for the past two years. “It is hard, believe me,” he says.
But with care from Dr. Doumas and UOA, it’s back to the links for Bijen Patel. “I’m definitely getting back to golf,” he promises.

NEWPORT NEWS — The city manager's offer of early retirement for all municipal workers has been accepted by 15 of the Fire Department's 300 employees, including its three top-ranking officers.
The chief, two deputy chiefs and the chief of the Emergency Medical Services department have filed paperwork to obtain the early out benefits of City Manager Edgar Maroney's retirement plan, said Ron Jones, the city's benefits manager.
They are among the 80 employees in all city agencies - including the finance and risk management directors - who have indicated their plans to leave by Feb. 1, Jones said.
By offering senior employees an early out, he said the city should save $600,000 to $700,000.
"It's money the city can use in other areas," and by reducing staff, enables departments to reorganize and reduce without having to lay people off, Assistant City Manager Billy Mitchell said.
While the fire service stands to lose the most top-level people, Jones said city Waterworks and Public Works departments will lose the most employees. Seventeen of the 363 employees of the Waterworks had applied for early retirement as of Friday, while seventeen of the 291 in the Public Works Department had taken similar steps.
Mitchell and Fire Chief Jack Walls, 45, said they do not forsee any decrease in the level of fire and emergency services because the department has well-trained, competent officers to take their places.
"It's not like we are going to walk out and there won't be anyone familiar with what's going on," said Walls, who has been chief since 1981.
The department's six battalion chiefs usually direct workers at the scene of major fires and the city will lose two of them, Walls said.
"They're going to certainly leave a large gap and we're going to have to work hard to find replacements, but we've already started the process to ensure a smooth transition," Mitchell said.
At last count, 14 of the 26 fire service employees eligible for early retirement have filed, city officials said.
In addition to Walls and deputy chiefs H.L. Davis and L.E. Beauchesne and the battalion chiefs, the department will lose its Emergency Medical Services Bureau chief, Robert O. Craft; four of its 24 captains, one of 24 lieutenants and three firefighters, said Walls, who will leave Feb. 1.
Under the citywide early retirement offer, employees who are at least 55 years old or those with at least 25 years' service have until Dec. 29 to apply for the city manager's early retirement program, said Jones. Participants can retire on four different dates: Nov. 1, Dec. 1, Jan. 1 and Feb. 1.
In exchange for ending their careers early, the city will give them three more years' credit toward retirement.
Jones said 189 of the city's 2,500 employees are eligible for early retirement.
Newport News modeled its early retirement incentive program after one used in Norfolk, Maroney said.
"I am going to work with each department head that has people leaving to see how those departments can be reorganized or streamlined, to see how many positions we can leave vacant or abolish so we can save some tax dollars," he said.
The purpose, he said, is to "develop an austerity program with respect to next year's budget."
When Norfolk offered its employees an early retirment package, Fire Chief Tom Gardner said he lost his two deputy chiefs. In reorganizing the department, the two deputy chief positions and 11 others were eliminated in a five-year plan to reduce the city's workforce by 500 people, and the fire department from 453 to 429, Gardner said.
"I don't think the department suffered with the early retirement but we did lose some key people with a lot of experience," the Norfolk fire chief said.
Mitchell said that when Newport News officials considered the early retirement program, they anticipated hardships in a few departments.
"We knew one of the disadvantages is that it will probably have a short-term adverse impact on productivity. But as the new people get used to their roles, that productivity should increase in a short time," he said.
As deputy chief for administration, Beauchesne, 56, has been responsible for fire prevention and investigations, budgeting and administrative staff.
Davis, 50, who leaves after 29 years of service, served as deputy chief over operations. Davis has been responsible for training, emergency medical service, equipment and fire stations.
To help ensure a smooth transition, Walls said Training Chief Frank Draper has been working closely with Beauchesne so he can assume some of Beauchesne's duties after he leaves.
The search for a new fire chief has already started. Maroney said the new chief will have a role with the reorganization.
In anticipation of promotions to fill vacancies at the bottom, the city recently hired 21 recruits who will start their 16-week basic firefighter school on Nov. 1.
"We've approved a total of 21 overhires because with the early retirement and normal attrition, there will be a need to have these new employees available," Mitchell said.

Intel Corp (NASDAQ: INTC) reported second-quarter FY21 flat year-on-year revenue of $19.6 billion, surpassing the analyst consensus of $17.55 billion. Though the analysts were expecting a revenue decline, Intel managed to keep the revenue intact with growing volume.
Despite the beat, a deeper reading in the earnings and CEO comments did not impress the investors.
Segment Revenue: Intel's segments had a mixed performance. Client Computing Group (CCG) revenue increased 6% Y/Y to $10.1 billion, but the critical Data Center Group (DCG) revenue decreased 9% Y/Y to $6.5 billion.
Internet of Things Group (IOTG) revenue rose 47% Y/Y to $984 million, and Mobileye revenue improved 124% Y/Y to $327 million.
Non-volatile Memory Solutions Group (NSG) revenue declined 34% Y/Y to $1.1 billion, and the Programmable Solutions Group (PSG) revenue was lower by 3% Y/Y at $486 million.
PC platform volumes improved 33% Y/Y. Mobileye closed ten additional design wins for over 16 million total lifetime units. It suggests that the average selling prices declined with volume growth.
Margins & Net Income: Intel kept up the margins due to the semiconductor shortage. The non-GAAP gross margin expanded 290 basis points to 59.2%, and the non-GAAP operating margin growing 60 basis points to 31.6%.
Intel's non-GAAP net income rose 6% Y/Y to $5.2 billion, translating to Non-GAAP EPS of $1.28, which beat the analyst consensus of $1.09.
Intel generated $8.7 billion in operating cash flow and paid dividends of $1.4 billion. It held $24.9 billion in cash and equivalents.
Outlook: Intel's Q3 outlook surpassed the analyst estimates. It sees revenue of $19.1 billion versus analyst consensus of $18.1 billion. It expects non-GAAP EPS of $1.10 compared to the analyst consensus of $1.08. However, Intel expects the non-GAAP gross margin to dip in Q3 at 55%.
Conference Call: Intel sees "sustained strength" in PC demand and expects the total addressable market to continue to grow in 2022. It expects to announce more U.S./European fab sites by year-end.
Intel said that FGPA demand significantly exceeds supply, while CCG sales are expected to fall in Q3 due to supply constraints. DCG sales are expected to grow by Q4.
Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger expects industry consolidation with smaller players not keeping up with the demand.
Price action: INTC shares traded lower by 2.70% at $54.45 in the premarket session on the last check Friday.

Growing Roses in Virginia
Virginia is a coastal state that receives an average rainfall of 50 inches a year. Because of this, growing healthy roses in Virginia can be quite a challenge. As in any climate where rainfall is heavy, rose growers in Virginia may have to battle black spot sometime in the life of their plants. Other challenges include growing roses in saline soil along the tidewater region and growing roses in the piedmont of the western part of the state. The key to growing roses in Virginia is to get them off to the right start and then follow a regimen of regular maintenance.
Test your soil in the fall before you plant roses. A soil test can tell you what minerals are present in the soil, including salt, phosphorous, potassium and nitrogen, as well as the pH of soil. A soil test will help you to determine what amendments should be added to your soil when you plant your roses. The Virginia Cooperative Extension maintains a soil testing laboratory that will test your soil for a fee. Details on how to collect soil samples, as well as fees and instructions for sending your sample into the cooperative Extension soil lab, may be found at http://pubs.ext.vt.edu/452/452-881/452-881.html.
Prepare your planting bed for roses in spring, three weeks before planting the rose canes. Use a rototiller to break up your soil to a depth of 8 inches. Then spread organic amendments such as peat moss over the soil. Peat moss is high in acid content, which roses love. This is also the time to work in amendments based on the instructions given to you in the soil test. Roses are heavy feeders that hate wet feet, so you should increase drainage in the heavy clay soils of the piedmont region by incorporating gypsum and sand as well as a balanced (10-10-10) fertilizer. Soils in tidewater regions can also benefit from the addition of organic matter such as peat moss, manure and compost.
Select rose varieties that are hardy to your area. Virginia falls primarily within USDA hardiness zones 5 and 6, with small mountainous locations that experience temperatures consistent with zone 4 and a pocket of coastal region in the southeastern corner of the state that is in zone 7. The majority of the state experiences average low temperatures between 0 and -10 degrees F.
Dig planting holes that are at least 15 inches deep and 18 inches wide. Space them according to the directions for individual roses. Climbers should be spaced 30 feet apart, but floribundas should be spaced no more than 30 inches apart. Mix 3 oz. superphosphate and 3 shovelfuls of compost into the soil that you have removed from the planting hole. Mound up soil in the center of the planting hole.
Set the rose plant on the mound in the center of the hole, and spread the roots over the mound. The graft union of the plant should be just above ground level. Cover the roots with the soil and nutrient mix. Water with a garden hose until the soil is as wet as a wrung-out sponge. Then mound an additional 4 to 6 inches of soil around the canes to protect them while the roots establish themselves. Remove this soil as new shoots develop and the danger of frost passes.
Water roses with 1 inch of water weekly during drought periods. Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch to hold in water and prevent evaporation.
Monitor your roses and prune away any vegetation that exhibits signs of disease, including black spot. Treat roses with a regular battery of fungicides and pesticides to keep disease away. For a natural fungicide, spray roses with neem oil. Rotate this spray on a regular basis with one made from 1 tbsp. of baking soda mixed with 1 tbsp. of agricultural oil in a gallon of water.

Unlike some deck options, which are completely bare, the Bamboo Skateboards Galaxy Series Cosmic Cloud Skateboard Deck features heat-stamped artwork on the underside of the board, including several geometric and interstellar designs, including a beautiful nebula. Bamboo Skateboards claims these boards last their customers three weeks longer than other decks. They come in three sizes: 7.75-by-31.5-inches, 8-by-31.75-inches, and 8.25-by-32-inches.

Rodney Mullen and Marc Johnson originally formed Enjoi Skateboards, one of the most innovative skateboarding brands. With the help of other professional skateboarders, they created the infamous “A-Team”, a group of skateboarders representing Enjoi. They have seen many changes over the years and have said goodbye to many great members of the Enjoi team. However, the one consistent trait is that they have continued to stand behind their signature panda boards, which are unique to other skateboarding brands.

Well know for their creative cartoon graphics and high-quality deck construction, this Toy Machine complete is another great starting skateboard for beginners. This deck is slightly larger than 8″ so it would be perfect for adults or people with larger feet who want a more stable ride. This setup is another good example of generic parts with a pro quality deck for a very reasonable price. A great option for a beginner who loves the logo and graphic, but wants to save money on the less important parts until they decide they want to take their skating the to next level.
This is an interesting option because it is basically a hybrid between a blank and pro skateboard deck. It’s like a pro board in that is has a “brand” and logo, but the cost is similar to blanks and they don’t sponsor the same quantity and caliber of professional skaters that other pro brands do. While the logo is really cool and the rest of the parts seem to be high quality, you may not get the same brand recognition with Punisher as you would with other brands like Element or Toy Machine. This deck is also 7.5″ which makes it a great choice for a younger beginner. This is the perfect beginner skateboard for someone who doesn’t really care about the brand name, but still wants the style and performance of an above average professional skateboard.
A good helmet protects your most important vital organ. Remember that in some states helmets are required by law. In Oregon, for example, skaters 15 and under can be fined for not wearing a helmet. Knee and elbow pads will also save you from bumps and bruises. Knee pads are particularly valuable when learning to skate tall vertical walls because they allow you to slide down the wall on your knees instead of having to run out of every bailed attempt. Wrist and ankle injuries are common in skateboarding, so braces are another great investment.

So now that you have an idea of what size and shape board you like, it’s time to choose a brand. A popular size is an 8.5 skateboard deck. If you were looking for a size 8.5 skateboard deck, you could narrow the decks offered on CCS.com to fit in the 8.25 - 8.5 range. This will show you all the boards in that range, and significantly reduce the boards you have to look through. Now, if you don’t have a preference on board brands, find a graphic you like and you’re all set. If this is your first skateboard or are still learning about what wood and brands you prefer, we recommend checking out a CCS Skateboard. They give you a bang for your buck, that's for sure.
Skateboarder owned and operated is Magenta's mantra. “No middle-man or business-person involved,” it says on the brand's site, so you know what you're getting from this French brand is pure, uncut skate to the core. All of the art direction and graphics are done by co-founder and team rider Soy Panday, who has developed a unique artistic perspective for Magenta.

While the skateboard has a lot of moving parts, one's safety, comfort, and ease to learn new skills and perform tricks are all of equal importance. For this reason, choosing the right type of deck and wheels should be two of the first considerations, as the board's shape, material construction, and wheel makeup will all have a significant impact on your ability to control the equipment and maintain good aerodynamics. Additionally, the width of the deck is important, so one must take their height, shoe size, and style of riding into account in order to ensure the deck offers as much support as possible, regardless of application.
In most cases, it is available in black but you can also find clear ones that are ideal for you if you want to show a specific logo. Another nice choice that you have is the die-cut grip tape, which works in displaying the color or design of the deck beneath it. Make sure to choose a grip tape at a size, which perfectly suits your skateboard’s deck.

Carolina Bound at One World Brewing
January 18 @ 9:00 pm - 12:00 am
“Sometimes an artist’s name is right on the money. Having been a frequent traveler through the Carolinas, there is an immediate image conjured up when this moody, haunting version of country folk starts filling up the room. You can see and feel the influence of the Blue Ridge Mountains on Chris Smith, lead singer-songwriter and core creative force of Carolinabound. The simplicity of the songwriting is refreshing, and they’re incredibly easy to listen to, especially on a lazy weekend afternoon. Smith’s vocals are vulnerable, sweet and melancholic in their delivery of lyrics steeped in country and folk traditional topics of love, loss and life experiences. There is nothing groundbreaking in that, just the comfort of knowing this troubadouresque type of performer continues to work in the background while trends fade in and out.”
“Imagine if Gram Parsons and Townes Van Zandt got together with Will Oldham on a late spring evening to sing songs late into the night. There’s an honest sentiment to these songs that rings clear and creates an atmosphere of wistful nostalgia that quickly covers everything in a comforting cocoon of memory and experience.”
