Just 12 airlines have taken delivery of 143 Airbus A380's so far (October 2014). The Airbus A380 offers an enormous amount of space and provides ample opportunity to create a unique First Class product.
We have taken a look at all these products and your options to book them using miles – simply Mighty Travels with Mighty Savings!
I recently booked my ride in Emirates A380 First Class. Availability is very good for next year for most US-bound Emirates A380 routes. Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan is the best program to book your ride.
The product is top-notch – I'll plan to post my review next month.
Singapore Airlines A380
Singapore Airlines runs 19 A380's mostly from Singapore to Europe and Australia. The only two A380 US routes are New York and Singapore to Los Angeles via Tokyo. The best way to book it is using Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer miles which we outlined in our guide to maximize Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer miles last week.
Lufthansa flies 12 A380's as of now, to various destinations in Europe, South Africa and the US. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, New York and Miami (some destinations are seasonal).
I wrote about my excellent flight from Frankfurt to Shanghai with the A380 in Lufthansa First Class review last year.
Lufthansa First Class is usually available to partners 14 days before departure. Unfortunately, United Mileage Plus severely devalued its award chart and it's now twice as expensive to use Lufthansa to Asia (via Europe).
Lufthansa's Miles & More program does have lots of Lufthansa First Class availability, but only VIP status-holders can book First Class since a change earlier this year.
Malaysia Airlines A380
Malaysia Airlines has 6 Airbus A380's in use and flies to London and Paris from Kuala Lumpur. I had a great time on my flight (before the recent incidents) and reflected that in my review of Malaysia Airlines First Class last year.
You can book awards rather easily for 70,000 miles and no fuel surcharges using AAdvantage one-way.
Air France A380
Air France has taken delivery of 10 Airbus A380's and flies them to San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York in the USA. Availability is excellent!
You can use Korean Air SKYPASS miles (1:1 Ultimate Rewards partner) to book a redemption for 100,000 miles + $400 in fuel surcharges on Air France in First Class.
British Airways A380
British Airways just recently got delivery of 7 Airbus A380's and installed a new First Class product. It is readily available for booking using AAdvantage miles or BA Avios. However, the fuel surcharges are substantial – depending on the location you can pay up to $800 for the round trip.
These destinations are served by an A380 currently:
Qatar Airways A380
Qatar is just about to receive its first A380's and is planning to put those on the London-Doha route. The trouble is, award availability has disappeared in First Class (after it was initially available every day). Let's hope it returns!
Any Oneworld partner – notably American Airlines or BA Avios – can book the flight using miles.
Etihad Airways A380
Etihad has made big headlines lately with 'The Residence' claim for the A380 First Class. The first planes will ply the London to Abu Dhabi routes.
There is currently NO WAY no redeem miles in First Class. I recently booked myself in a Business Class seat. Maybe redemption in First Class will show up one day.
Qantas runs the A380 to Los Angeles, Dallas (DFW) as well as Dubai and Hong Kong. The US routes are hard to find availability for – they often sell out of award seats 330 days in advance.
If you find availability, the best option will usually be AAdvantage miles to book the trip.
China Southern Airlines A380
China Southern Airlines flies the A380 to Sydney, Los Angeles and Guangzhou. Your best option to book this SkyTeam partner in First Class is again Korean Air SKYPASS as a 1:1 partner of Ultimate Rewards.
Korean Air A380
Korean Air runs the mighty A380 to Frankfurt, New York, Atlanta and Los Angeles. Lots of availability as well, for most of these seats.
Korean Air SKYPASS is a 1:1 partner of Ultimate Rewards and while the booking process is bureaucratic, the redemption rates and the excellent product make it worth working through the time-intensive process.
Thai Airways International

Recall that reports emerged on Wednesday revealing that Wike and Tinubu met in London, UK, to discuss issues relating to the 2023 presidential election.
A source revealed that Lagos State governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his Ekiti State counterpart, Kayode Fayemi, were part of the meeting from the Tinubu camp, while Governors Samuel Ortom (Benue) and Seyi Makinde (Oyo) attended the discussion from the Wike camp.
The former APC deputy spokesman asserted that politics dwells largely on numbers, interests and negotiations devoid of emotion.
He maintained that what Wike was doing was not different from what Amaechi did when he left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with other members.
He said, “Politics is all about negotiation. Once the big people come in, some other people will take the back seat. You know what happened in Rivers State when the governor came in, people took the back seat. You cannot have a sitting governor and someone else will become a leader.
“It is the way Amaechi built his system. We are beginning to see the Wike’s side and have not seen much of Amaechi. Maybe he has a game plan we don’t know but everything will play out at the appropriate time.”

UNDATED (CNN/KTHV) -- Sixty-nine years ago today, the great Allied invasion of Europe began in Normandy, France.
It was a huge undertaking, the largest amphibious landing ever attempted with paratroopers jumping beforehand behind enemy lines.
There was a lot riding on it, whether the Allies would be able to gain a footing in France and push their way toward Germany, easing pressure on the Soviet Union and the Eastern Front.
The fighting was intense, but ultimately it did succeed and history was made.
What you may not have know was that an armada of 2,727 ships was assembled from 12 nations, and among those was the USS Arkansas battleship. It had been commissioned in 1912 and was slated to be scrapped until D-Day came along, and the ship's big guns were needed.
The mission was to open fire on the German controlled beaches code named Omaha. It would be joined by the oldest ship in the fleet-- the USS Texas. That's right. D-Day on Omaha Beach began with the Arkansas and Texas side by side, blasting away in one last major assault. No rivalry. Just two old battleships giving it everything they had.
Michael Hopper is curator of the Arkansas Inland Museum in North Little Rock, where you can still find a few remnants of the Battleship Arkansas. The collection consists of a few pictures, trophies from athletic teams from the ship, and some equipment.
Other than finding the odd thing here or there in an antique store or come up in auction from someone's private collection, there's not a lot of things out there, but there is one artifact that the entire state is familiar with.
You see in 1912, there was no flag to fly on the new battleship. So, the daughters of the American Revolution in Arkansas staged a contest to see who could come up with a winning design for an Arkansas flag.
Willie Kavanaugh Hocker of Wabbaseka had the winning design, and she came up with the Arkansas Flag as we know it today, and it was flag first seen in 1912 on the USS Arkansas.

Paris Clemenza di Tito
I decided I should give the Paris Opera Susan Graham DVD of La Clemenza di Tito another try. The production is very formal and palely classical. The costumes are periodless--vaguely nineteenth century. There is real fire on the stage for the riot. The cast includes Christophe Pregardien, Catherine Naglestad, Hannah Esther Minutillo, Lorenzo Regazzo, and Sylvain Cambreling.
Susan Graham is very intense for the music, perhaps, but sang the part far better than Kasarova, reviewed elsewhere. Vitelia is noticeably too low for Catherine Naglestad. Christophe Pregardien as Tito is pretty mediocre. Basically you would want this for Susan Graham who is showered with flowers at the end.
But what the hell was that baked potato with the woman sitting in the butter for? It went across the stage for no apparent reason during the first act. I hate that.
I am so pleased to have found this picture of it.

The Global Fund is more transparent that probably any other major funder, but there are nevertheless gaps in transparency that the Fund needs to address. This is the first in a series of commentaries on this topic.
You are here
The Global Fund and its stakeholders would be better served if the Fund released more information related to concept notes
The Global Fund is now publishing on its website three attachments to concept notes – the modular template attachment; the financial gap analysis and counterpart financing attachment; and the programmatic gap attachment.
The Eurasian Coalition on Male Health (ECOM) has been invited to submit a concept note for a program on “Community Actions to Increase Access of MSM and Transgender People to HIV Services in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.”
South Africa on 15 July submitted a joint HIV/TB concept note for some $380.5 million in funding, more than half of which is to support prevention interventions specifically targeting key populations including young women and girls, men who have sex with men and people living in disease hot spots. Of this, $142.2 million constitutes an above-allocation request.
New funding model early applicant Zimbabwe submitted a $40.2 million request for incentive funding on 18 May, seeking additional financial support for interventions that specifically target people under age 24: the fastest growing demographic group in sub-Saharan Africa for new HIV infections.
Swaziland could become the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to achieve elimination of malaria should it fully and effectively implement its national strategic plan, Aidspan understands from the head of the National Malaria Control Program, Simon Kunene.
In an interview in March, Kunene declared that the country has developed the "most advanced malaria elimination strategy in all of sub-Saharan Africa".
Cambodia's country coordinating mechanism is looking to the expected 1 July signing date for grant disbursements for malaria, HIV and health system strengthening with anticipation, eager to turn the page on a financial scandal involving two of the Global Fund's biggest suppliers of bednets and ranking officials in two government institutions serving as Principal Recipients.
While turning the page on a financial scandal, Malawi still confronting challenges in prioritizing HIV interventions
Seeking to turn the page on a financial scandal involving the National AIDS Commission, Malawi has appointed new principal recipients to administer the $574 million it was allocated to fight HIV.
Eleven Pacific Island countries have endorsed a multi-country concept note to respond to the varying HIV epidemics among their respective populations, ahead of submission expected on 30 January. The concept note -- among the only multi-country notes to be developed under the new funding model -- was drawn from extensive consultations to set priorities and identify areas of commonality.
The first two grants under the full rollout of the new funding model (NFM) should soon be approved for signing by the Global Fund Board. Both grants emanate from an HIV concept note submitted by Moldova during the first window on 15 May 2014.

If anyone had any doubt who's winning the historic war between Apple and Microsoft, they'd do well to look at the results the two West Coast giants announced yesterday. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Mac-maker hogged all the glory.
While Microsoft's shares plunged 9.25% after its 10.6% fall in profit to $5.9bn (£3.88bn) was announced, Apple revealed a record-breaking set of numbers that set the stockmarkets alight, after hours. Here's MT's breakdown.
$74.6bn quarterly revenues. Sales of Apple products during the three months to December 27th surged 29.5% higher than the same period last year. It's an all time high for the firm - in fact a record for any company - and smashed investor expectations.
The driving force behind this record revenue rise was, of course, the iPhone 6. The company shifted an astonishing 74.5m iPhones over the period, though it didn't specify which models sold in what amounts. That's 33,740 an hour, or 9.4 a second.
Of course, iPhone 6 sales were always going to be high. The release of a new and much anticipated model during the frenzied Christmas quarter guaranteed impressive figures. But demand for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have consistently beaten both Apple's and investors' expectations. It has been, as Apple boss Tim Cook put it, 'staggering', with sales up 46% on the same quarter last year.
The 6 Plus is widely seen as the runaway success, which has once again shown Apple's knack of anticipating consumer trends. According to a report by Juniper Research, 'phablets' will make up 20% of smartphone sales by 2019. Who would have thought so many people would buy a phone that doesn't fit in your pocket?
A possible downside is, however, the effect that this supersized phone may have had on iPad sales. They fell 18% to 21.4m units over the year, though stronger competition in the sector and possible market saturation at that end of the price scale were also important factors alongside Apple's own cannibalisation.
The slowdown in its tablet division won't be worrying Apple too much, however. It seems that the firm is finally taking off in the massive growth market that is China. Quarterly sales in the world's second largest economy increased 70% on last year to $16bn, just $1bn shy of the total for Europe.
There had been some expectation that China sales would have exceeded those in the US for the first time, but the recovery in America and general enthusiasm for the new iPhone there meant its Chinese sales teams were chasing a moving target.
The final result of all these revenues, alongside Apple's impressive 39.9% gross margin, of course, was a quarterly profit greater than any company has ever achieved. Apple earned a cool net $18bn, up 37.4% from the same period last year. Take that ExxonMobil, which had the previous record of $15.9bn in 2012.
And what does Apple do with all that profit? It gave some back to investors - $57bn over the last year, in fact - but a lot of it's going on the pile. Apple's mountain of cash and marketable securities is now $178bn, somewhat more than Ukraine's GDP and somewhat less than New Zealand's, according to the International Monetary Fund. What it will do once it has all the world's cash under its mattress is anybody's guess.
Despite perhaps wanting a little more in dividends (Carl Icahn anybody?), investors were unsurprisingly chuffed at these numbers. Shares rose 5.7% in after hours trading to $115.40.
That optimism perhaps also reflects a belief that Apple's recent successes are set to continue. The firm projects revenues next quarter of $52bn-$55bn, which would be way above recent years. This doubtless reflects continuing growth in China and Asia-Pacific generally, and the much anticipated launch of the Apple Watch, which is now due to come out in April - one month late.
That's not a great start for a watch, admittedly, but then your standard Rolex doesn't have to find out where your nearest Samsung store is to the nearest 15 feet or give directions in Swahili. Given Apple's colossal $1.9bn R&D expenditure for the last quarter, some of which must surely be going into Apple Watch tweaks, we'll forgive them for the delay.
It's all looking pretty bright for Apple, then, which is why we also won't begrudge Tim Cook for his recent 40% salary hike to $2m, up to $9.2m including bonuses. Read MT's profile of Apple in the post-Jobs era to get a better idea of the challenges Cook is facing.


The Right Pipe Wrench
Use the right tool for the job
Posted 08:02 December 09, 2018
Last Updated 08:02 February 05, 2019
An experienced plumber will always tell you – pick and use the right tool for the job. The pipe wrench is the bread-and-butter tool of plumbers. Picking the right one for a job seems like a small thing, but it is a skill that experienced plumbers learn over time.
For the common folk, most think a pipe wrench is just a pipe wrench – but that’s not true. There are many different kinds of pipe wrenches. Here are the most common kinds:
Straight Pipe Wrench
The traditional pipe wrench. It is good at tightening and loosening all kinds and forms of threaded pipe. It’s the most common type of pipe wrench used.
End Pipe Wrench
The jaws of this pipe wrench are offset at a slight angle. This helps plumbers when working close to a wall or near the end of a pipe.
Offset Pipe Wrench
For the most awkward angles and tightest spots, plumbers use an offset pipe wrench. The jaws are offset by 90 degrees. They also access to spots a straight pipe wrench could never reach.
Compound Leverage Wrench
This pipe wrench multiplies the force applied through the use of a lever. It is used on excessively hard to break joints and where pipes are frozen or locked together due to age, corrosion, or damage.
Chain Pipe Wrench
This pipe wrench uses a chain instead of jaws. It is good for very tight pipes.
Very similar to the chain pipe wrench, this one uses a strap instead of a chain. It’s used on plastic, plated, or polished pipes when you want to avoid scratch damage.
Pipe wrenches come in all shapes and sizes. If you only have room for one in your tool box, get a 14 inch aluminum straight pipe wrench. It will handle most common jobs around the home. It’s very lightweight, easy to transport, and should be a standard component of a home repair tool kit.

A fond farewell
Aston Villa fans have been reacting to the departure of goalkeeper Orjan Nyland.
Nyland's contract was terminated last night with the Norwegian departing after two years with Dean Smith 's side.
The 30 year-old, signed from Ingoldstadt in 2018, had fallen down the pecking order at Villa Park after the arrival of Emiliano Martinez from Arsenal and Jed Steer's return to fitness.
Nyland became the second player to have his Villa deal cut short, with Jota leaving on Saturday.
Nyland was Villa's first choice after lockdown as the number one jersey alternated between himself and Pepe Reina.
Former Molde stopper Nyland lost his place to Reina after a string of error-strewn games that started with the botched save that goal-line technology failed to pick up against Sheffield United.
However, recent performances against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup were a highlight of his time at Villa.
"Good luck, will never forget the unbelievable save you made to keep us in the Premier League," one fan said.
"Thank you for THE save that kept us up!" added another. "Onwards and upwards, you wonderful man!"
Sign up for our Dean Smith special newsletter
It's been a hectic two years for Villa under Dean Smith. Barren spells, goal glory, promotion triumphs, cup finals, the threat of relegation, survival on the last day, progressive football and big dreams.
It's a time for reflection, so we're penning a special on Villa's man in charge, who has overseen on the of the most electric and dynamic periods of the club's history.
You won't want to miss it.
How do I sign up?
All you have to do is click here and select the Aston Villa newsletter option to find out, or you can fill in the sign up form at the top of this page. It's that easy.
"Thanks for protecting the ball from goal-line technology Orjan," said a third fan.
"Unlucky with injuries, you gave your all and that's all we could ask good luck in your next choice," another said.
"Will never forget his performances against Leicester," a fifth supporter said.
Villa's high-flying European youngsters
Aston Villa's brilliant transfer window has been heralded as one of the best in the Premier League - yet the club have added exciting additions to its academy.
Academy supremo Mark Harrison has been busy throughout the summer orchestrating deals to improve Villa's under-18s with the help from sporting director Johan Lange.
In total, Villa have signed seven new teenagers with five coming in from across Europe. The club have made real strides over the last few weeks and it was topped off by the capture of highly-talented striker Ruben Shakpoke.
"He has joined us after a lot of hard work was put in during our recruitment process and I thank everyone for their efforts," Harrison said after reaching an agreement with Norwich for the 16-year-old England youth international. "We’re looking forward to working with Ruben and developing his talents."
Harrison, meanwhile, also credited the work and constant backing of Villa's owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens who, according to Christian Purslow, take a great interest in Villa's academy setup. The billionaires rank the conveyor belt of talent at Bodymoor Heath just as important as the first-team as it's seen as the backbone of success in the long run. Just look at Jack Grealish, for example.
As well as Shakpoke Villa added Oliwier Zych to their under-18 ranks, an 16-year-old Polish goalkeeper who was previously looked at by Bayern Munich. On that signing, Harrison said: "This signing, along with all of our new additions, is the result of a lot of hard work in terms of recruitment and further evidence of the club's vision to build a long-term player development strategy, which is backed by Nassef, Wes, Christian and Johan."
Staying in Europe and another exciting signing is that of Dutch defensive midfielder Lamare Bogarde, 16, who was snapped-up from Feyenoord. The Dutch international scored and assisted on his Villa under-18 debut against Reading recently.
"He is a player with immense potential and the commitment that will go in to fulfilling that starts now," Harrison said of Bogarde, with Villa revealing how they beat several Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A clubs to his signature.
Another arrival from Holland was the transfer of centre-back Sil Swinkels from Vitesse Arnhem, a player who's been an ever-present for Villa's academy since moving to Bodymoor Heath. Swinkels was signed on the same day as Ireland youth internationals, Caolan McBride and Aaron O'Reilly who arrived from Glentoran and St Pat's respectively.
Finally and, arguably the most sought-after signature of the lot, Villa signed Exeter's youngest-ever player Ben Chrisene who made his Football League debut aged just 15. Chrisene has been capped by England at under-15 and under-16 level and has slotted in for Villa at left-back in his outings to date. A more natural midfielder, Chrisene was courted by Chelsea and Liverpool with the latter said to have dished out VIP treatment to the 16-year-old for a Champions League match at Anfield.
In the end, Villa pulled off what was said to be a major coup, and Harrison said: "We are delighted to have secured Ben’s signature. He’s a very talented youngster who we are very pleased to have at the club. I would like to thank the owners, the board and the CEO for their support in bringing talent like Ben’s to Aston Villa and for their ongoing backing in helping us to work towards our shared vision of a thriving and successful academy."
Robertson on McGinn after Liverpool shocker
Just days after going toe to deflecting toe when Aston Villa humbled mighty Liverpool, John McGinn and Andy Robertson came face to face in Steve Clarke’s Scotland squad.
The pair will unite to try to help the Scots take one step closer to Euro 2021 when they face Israel in a qualification semi-final on Thursday night.
However, both have had their say on Sunday’s remarkable match in which Villa hammered the Reds 7-2.
Speaking to Sky Sports Liverpool full back Robertson made a quip about some of the goals but did not try to conceal the fact his team had been soundly beaten.
“We weren’t good enough, simple as that,” the left back said. “That wasn’t the Liverpool that have played two-and-a-half years of consistent, high-level performances.
“We were nowhere near it but it was up to John and his team-mates to capitalise on that and they certainly did that.
“All credit goes to them because they were excellent on the night. Yeah, three deflected goals and things like that but you can’t argue the three points went to the right place. Hopefully John comes full of confidence.”
Villa still in for King
Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion have reportedly entered into a 'transfer tug-of-war' for AFC Bournemouth striker Josh King.
According to the Mirror , the interest in him is starting to drop off with Premier League rivals Leicester City, Everton and Tottenham Hotspur all credited with an interest in the Norwegian international.
Seria A side Torino have also been linked with King, who was eyed by Manchester United last January with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side keen on bringing him back to Old Trafford after seven years away.
A £10 million price tag has been quoted for the former Blackburn Rovers loanee, who has scored 48 goals in 161 Premier League matches.
King scored six goals and registered four assists in 26 matches for relegated Bournemouth last season, one of those in his side's 2-1 win at Villa in August.
He enjoyed an even better 2018-19 season, scoring 12 times for the Cherries.
Villa have Ollie Watkins, Keinan Davis and Wesley, the latter out injured until January, on their books as out-and-out-strikers while Albion are desperately chasing another forward.
West Brom 's top target is Karlan Grant at Huddersfield Town and like a deal for King, it doesn't have to be completed until Friday, October 16 at 5pm.

WASHINGTON -- A six-year-old memo from within the George W. Bush administration that came to light this week acknowledges that White House-approved interrogation techniques amounted to "war crimes." The memo's release has called attention to what has changed since President Barack Obama took office, but it also raises questions about what hasn't.
The Bush White House tried to destroy every copy of the memo, written by then-State Department counselor Philip Zelikow. Zelikow examined tactics like waterboarding -- which simulates drowning -- and concluded that there was no way they were legal, domestically or internationally.
“We are unaware of any precedent in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, or any subsequent conflict for authorized, systematic interrogation practices similar to those in question here," Zelikow wrote. The memo has been obtained by George Washington University's National Security Archive and Wired's Spencer Ackerman.
But while Democrats are using the memo as evidence of a new post-torture era under Obama, human rights activists, civil libertarians and opponents of excessive secrecy say they see many ways in which the country's moral compass is still askew -- and in some ways even more so than before.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has prayed a High Court to inspect some foreign currency seized from Andrew Yakubu, a former Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
News Central reports that the anti-graft had seized $9,772,800 and £74,000 cash from Yakubu over alleged corruption and kept same at the Kano branch of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The money was recovered in a fireproof safe at Yakubu’s house on Chikun Road, Sabon Tasha area of Kaduna South Local Government Area of Kaduna State sometime in 2017.
On Thursday, the EFCC urged the Federal High Court in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, to visit the CBN branch in Kano and inspection the cash.
The money formed the subject of counts three and four in the money laundering charge preferred against the former NNPC boss.
The agency also urged the court to conduct proceedings in the premises of the bank during the inspection of the money.
The request formed the basis of an application filed by the EFCC on November 17, 2020, which its lawyer, Mohammed Abubakar, argued on Thursday.
Mohammed said the EFCC kept the money in the custody of the Kano branch of the CBN after its operatives allegedly recovered it from Yakubu’s house in Kaduna State.
Yakubu, through his counsel, Ahmed Raji (SAN) urged the court to reject the request by the EFCC and dismiss the application by the EFCC.
The trial judge, Justice Ahmed Mohammed adjourned till February 17, 2021, to rule on the application.
The prosecution counsel said EFCC’s operatives, acting on a tip-off, raided Yakubu’s house on February 3, 2017 and recovered the money kept in a fireproof safe.
Yakubu was arraigned on March 16, 2017, on a six-count bordering on money laundering offences. The charges include failing to make full disclosure of assets, receiving cash without going through a financial institution, which borders on money laundering and intent to avoid a lawful transaction under the law, transported at various times to Kaduna, the aggregate sum of $9,772,800 and £74,000.
The prosecution closed its case on October 17, 2018, after calling seven witnesses and the seventh witness, an operative of the EFCC, Suleiman Mohammed, spoke about how his team recovered the $9,772,000 and £74,000 cash in Yabubu’s house in Kaduna, which was later deposited in CBN in Kano.
At the closure of the prosecution’s case, Yakubu made a no-case submission, which Justice Mohammed, in a ruling delivered on May 16, 2019, partially upheld by striking out two of the six counts contained in the charge and ordered Yakubu to enter defence in relation to the remaining four counts.
The judge held that the prosecution failed to prove counts five and six of the charge which related to the allegation of unlawful transportation of the money.
He said: “Even though I am tempted to discharge the defendant on counts one to four, I am, however, constrained to ask the defendant to explain how he came about the monies recovered from his house.
“Fortified with my position, the defendant is hereby ordered to enter his defence in respect of counts one to four,” the judge said in the May 16, 2019 ruling.
Dissatisfied, Yakubu challenged the decision at the Court of Appeal, Abuja, which, in a ruling on April 24, 2020, upheld Justice Mohammed’s ruling and proceeded to strike out two more counts – one and two – in the charge.
The Court of Appeal then ordered Yakubu to enter his defence in respect of the remaining two counts – three and four.
The prosecution and defence are currently before the Supreme Court, challenging the decision of the Court of Appeal.

Interview by Lee P. Doptera
Kaki King has brought new meaning to the guitar and to performance. For over a decade now, she has produced ground-breaking albums, perfected her fingerstyle technique, scored films, and incorporated visual elements into her show that go far beyond dramatic set pieces. Her most recent project (The Neck is the Bridge to the Body) combines projection-mapping and music to tell a story of creation. In this show, images are projected both onto a background and the guitar itself. You can find clips of Kaki's pieces and examples of some of the visual components on her website www.kakiking.com. Recently, Kaki was kind enough to answer some of my questions about her music, art, and where it all might be heading for her.
PSF: In 2009 you put on an exhibition of guitars that were each painted by different artists and inspired by your music. You are currently working with projection mapping to create an interactive visual component to your show. What was your introduction to the art world and why is it so present in your work?
KK: n 2008, I got Lasik surgery on my eyes. Before then, my vision was terrible and I didn't really bother to take in visual information, even though I had glasses and contacts. That exhibition, titled ‘the exhibition' was my first experiment in working with others to visually interpret the guitar. Between then and now was a long break of just music making. I don't know what ‘the art world' is or what that means, but there are a lot of really creative people making stuff that looks beautiful and interesting, and I think it's just taken me this much time to trust my vision. My brain had to learn to see everything in a new way, according to my doctor, and that didn't happen overnight.
PSF: The visual arts appear strongly linked to your music. Is music something that you experience with other senses?
KK: Yes, well, I definitely feel music. I think most musicians take the tempo and the pulse of the song and internalize it, which is why a good string quartet can rest for two measures and enter back in perfectly in sync, because meter is something you feel far more than you hear.
PSF: As someone with synesthesia, I am thrilled to see you integrating visual components into your sound. Is this a glance at what the music looks like for you?
KK: Interesting to hear that you have this. I don't, other than certain strong color associations with numbers or songs, feeling like they have a particular hue. I don't think music looks like anything to me. However, when I see something, like a painting or a building or a piece of theater, it sounds like music to me, very specific music. And that effect is usually very immediate and very strong. So this show was created by me writing out ideas for visuals, having them be created by a team of people, and responding to those visual ideas with music.
PSF: Are there other artistic mediums that you have thought about incorporating into your music?
KK: Yes, and I can't share them all for lack of formalized ideas or direction at the moment, but I do want to use some sort of text. There is a little bit of that in The Neck but for the most part it is abstract. I'd like to use the format of the show to tell a more specific story perhaps.
PSF: Somehow you've surprised us all again with this new direction. Your new show is beautiful and groundbreaking. What made you think about using projection mapping?
KK: It was a long, long process of opening my eyes, looking around at what was going on on other stages and in other mediums. I went to shows, galleries, museums. I knew I wanted to add a visual element to my show but I had no idea what that really meant. At some point along the way I discovered projection mapping, which I thought was interesting, but it was always on such a huge scale. I thought about something that could make it smaller and more intimate, but I couldn't really see it. There was just a moment, and I don't even know if it was my idea, where it was suggested to projection map onto the guitar itself. Even setting that experiment up took several weeks of time. When the guitar was set up and we shone the first picture on it it was quite the experience. I knew then that it looked beautiful and that I could take this vision and turn it into an entire show. Obviously that took quite a lot of time and a lot of help, but that's basically the story of how it all began.
PSF: What was the most challenging aspect of your current project?
KK: Oh wow... where do I begin? It was a huge challenge creating all of the parts in time for the debut last year, but that feels like such a long time ago. Currently, our biggest challenge on the road is interfacing with the house projector for the backdrop. Audio signal is so much easier than video. Audio is voltage--either it's on or it's off basically. Video is information, so you're constantly dealing with the difficulty of sending information across hundreds of feet of cable that may or may not work that day, or may or may not like your signal, or has mysteriously decided to drop the signal every ten minutes, or won't project the color red at all. Or (it) hates your old reliable VGA cable but loves the HDMI cable you don't have enough length for. I can't tell you how much trouble this has been, and how much mystery (there's been) as to what is going wrong. It has gotten to the point that we carry both of our own projectors so that when we test the house system and find we're having a problem, we can be fully self-sufficient.
PSF: I understand that you created many of the films that were incorporated into the show, what was it like stepping into the role of a director?
KK: I was more of a writer/producer, but even that is a stretch since there weren't any actors or much of a crew really. Film is energetic work and it's exciting but also really challenging to get through a few days of filming just for a few seconds of video.
PSF: Are there Kaki King films we can look forward to in the future?
KK: I have more confidence in having a role in that entire process, so we'll see where that goes.
PSF: What is the overall story that you hope to tell or is it open to individual interpretation?
KK: The story begins with creation. There is sort of a post-big bang digital cosmic soup, from which the guitar emerges as a fully sentient and self-sufficient being. I enter the stage as a facilitator of sorts--the guitar is clearly the one in charge. The first five pieces are about creation and increasing complexity. You hear percussion and rhythm and you see black and white imagery. The first note heard is the first color seen. The shapes grow and begin to take almost human form over the course of the next two pieces. Then the guitar begins to really show it's personality. It sheds its skin and becomes anything it wants to. It goes on a journey, it tells you the story of its life, it shows you its internal skeleton. The last two pieces are about the frustration and excitement of learning an instrument, or a tool, or any new information set, and finally mastering it and becoming one with it. Like I said, there is a lot going on in there.
PSF: Sometimes, your pieces seem more like a conversation or a dance, and you've said before that the guitar plays you more than you play it. Where does your writing begin and how does it proceed?
KK: I don't know. I really don't. I play guitar as much as possible. I would play all day if I didn't have plants to water or babies to raise. I just show up and things happen. I show up, I pick up the guitar, I play something old, and something new starts to happen. That's as much insight as I have into my own process at the moment.
PSF: The first time I heard you play, I thought “this is what I never knew that I always wanted to hear from a guitar." What musicians challenged your idea of what music could be?
KK: Obviously, I listened to a lot of guitar music growing up, but I fell in love with Tchaikovsky for melody, Debussy for emotion, Cage for some weird, and Bartok for everything. And Britpop for how to be an insufferable teenager.
PSF: Your song titles are mini stories on their own, but you tend to be reticent when it comes to the meaning behind a particular piece. Are you giving us hints or red herrings with your titles?
PSF: You experiment with different tuning frequently, are there any pieces that began one way but shifted into another direction when you tried them in a different key?
KK: One good compositional technique is to play the fingerings for one song in a tuning for another. It's not likely to sound good, but it might shed some light on what some possibilities are for that tuning.
PSF: How did moving from the South to the North change your influences and your personal style?
KK: Well, being a gay atheist guitar player drummer music-weirdo in the suburbs of Atlanta was kind of hard. In NYC, I fit right in! So I was able to let go of a lot of self-consciousness overnight and get on with my life.
PSF: You're in that class of what I consider to be architectural musicians; people like Kishi Bashi, Merrill Garbus, Andrew Bird, people who seem to create entire symphonies out of just a couple of instruments. Do you begin with a simple melody that you build upon or do you always have this complete sound in mind?
KK: I don't usually think melodically, but I do like to anchor what I'm doing around one hook. It could be a rhythmic hook, or a bassline with a few melodic notes. Or even a picking technique that works really well. Essentially, everything that I write that sounds complicated almost always had very simple beginnings.

Business and innovation | June 8, 2015
At a special meeting of Council last week, staff brought forward 72 projects to be submitted for consideration under the Federal Government’s new Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program (Canada 150), a co-ordinated federal approach to celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017. Members of Council unanimously endorsed the request for funding.
“This new investment opportunity will help strengthen Mississauga’s infrastructure and provide increased economic benefits for neighbourhoods across our City,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “The City of Mississauga is well positioned to make local investments to update playgrounds, trails and sites that are important to Mississauga and Canada’s rich history. This is especially important as we prepare for the 150th anniversary of Confederation and our nation’s founding.”
Over the next two years, Canada 150 will provide $150 million across the country to fund 1,800 community infrastructure projects that rehabilitate, renovate and expand existing community infrastructure. All submitted projects must tie into celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday.
As part of the two-year Canada 150 funding, communities in Southern Ontario will receive $44 million for projects completed before March 31, 2018. The maximum funding available for any one project is limited to $1 million. All submissions must get a minimum of 50 per cent funding from other sources. Priority will be given to community projects that can be completed by June 2017 and that can leverage two-thirds or more of funding.
Mayor Crombie adds, “I would like to show my appreciation to our Members of Parliament and City staff for working together to identify important community projects as part of this new federal infrastructure investment program. All proposed projects make necessary improvements to existing community infrastructure that will help further elevate Mississauga’s unrivalled quality of life for families and residents of all ages.”
Funding is eligible for:
“If the City were to receive approval for all of the grants submitted, this opportunity provides us with approximately $7 million in infrastructure funding,” said Janice Baker, City Manager and Chief Administration Officer. “The City will fund the balance, including ineligible costs, primarily through taxes and reserve funds. The City will be using funds included in the 10 year forecast so there will be no tax increases required to fund our portion of the program.”
All submissions for Canada 150 will be accepted until 5 p.m. on June 9, 2015. The City will be notified of all successful funding applications before October 1, 2015.

Actually, she was already forty-one years of age. What otherwise could she not just let go? Even without having a wedding, she was still top rated a very good daily life and was far more lighthearted than someone else. She did not have to depend upon gents. Having said that, she been able to do items that some men couldn’t do!
Afterward, s.h.i.+ Peng has become Zhai Sheng’s excel at. Soon after communicating more with s.h.i.+ Qing, she saw that s.h.i.+ Qing was totally different from Qiu Chenxi.

“Oh? Who is this? Thats a good looking aunt!” Jiajia did not have very much to speak to Qiao Dongliang. Considering that Qiao Dongliang was leftover silent, Jiajia couldn’t go on the interaction and her brilliant eye wandered all over. Currently, Jiajia been told a bit commotion.

There was not any track of Qi Minlan on her. As an alternative, these people were quite in sync. It was precisely due to this that anytime s.h.i.+ Qing attended the army with s.h.i.+ Peng after, Zhai Hua was especially ready to carry this youthful sister along to participate in and let her train along with her.

What all people believed was that immediately after Old Chief Zhai’s boy pa.s.sed gone, the nephew surnamed w.a.n.g from the Zhu family members would undoubtedly function as ultimate champ.
Jiajia could have a good laugh and state that she preferred much younger siblings and would take care of them now. Using the planned arrival for these a youngster, Jiajia would understand how considerably she would eliminate. Qiao Dongliang was not certain that Jiajia could still inform him then with a pure and naive manifestation she was still that excellent sister from well before.
As a individual classic women in her forties, s.h.i.+ Qing have also been struggling with a headache as she was being urged to get married. In the past, s.h.i.+ Qing often employed Zhai Sheng, her older, to be a s.h.i.+eld. Seeing that even Zhai Sheng was getting married, s.h.i.+ Qing experienced a hassle. She did not know exactly what reasons and reasons she can use to deny her mother next time she urged her to have hitched once again.

Windows are an essential feature of any building, providing light, ventilation, and a connection to the outside world. Over the years, various mechanisms have been used to control and operate windows, ensuring ease of use and functionality. One such mechanism that has gained popularity in recent times is the window constant force spring. This innovative solution offers a host of benefits, making it the perfect choice for smooth and effortless window operation.
A constant force spring is a coiled strip of metal that exerts a nearly constant force throughout its deflection. This means that the force required to move the window remains consistent regardless of the position of the sash. Traditional window mechanisms, such as weights and pulleys or chain drives, often require more force to open or close the window when the sash is in certain positions. This inconsistency can make it difficult and frustrating for users to operate the window smoothly. However, with a constant force spring, the force required remains constant, ensuring a seamless and effortless operation every time.
One of the key advantages of using a window constant force spring is its ability to balance the weight of the window sash. Windows with imbalanced weights can be difficult to open and close, leading to a poor user experience. Constant force springs can be custom designed to match the weight of the sash, providing the perfect balance and making window operation incredibly smooth. This is particularly beneficial for larger or heavier windows that may require additional force to operate. By using a constant force spring, window manufacturers can ensure that their products are user-friendly and easy to use, enhancing customer satisfaction.
Another significant advantage of constant force springs is their durability and longevity. Made from high-quality materials, such as stainless steel, these springs are designed to withstand the test of time. Unlike traditional window mechanisms that may require frequent maintenance and repairs, constant force springs are built to last. This not only reduces the hassle and cost associated with window maintenance but also ensures that the windows operate smoothly and effortlessly for many years. Additionally, the consistent force exerted by these springs minimizes wear and tear on other window components, further extending the lifespan of the entire system.
Constant force springs also offer flexibility and adaptability in window design. These springs can be integrated into a wide range of window types, including casement, double-hung, sliding, and awning windows, among others. This versatility allows architects and designers to explore creative window solutions without compromising on functionality. Whether it is a modern skyscraper or a historic building renovation, constant force springs can provide the perfect balance of aesthetic appeal and effortless operation.
Furthermore, constant force springs contribute to improved energy efficiency in buildings. By ensuring that windows operate smoothly and seal tightly, these springs help to minimize air leakage and drafts, reducing energy loss. This is particularly important in today’s environmentally conscious world, where energy conservation is a top priority. By choosing window mechanisms that incorporate constant force springs, building owners can contribute to a more sustainable future while enjoying the benefits of lower energy bills.
The window constant force spring is a revolutionary mechanism that offers numerous advantages for smooth and effortless window operation. Its ability to maintain a constant force throughout the deflection ensures consistent and easy operation, regardless of the position of the window sash. The balance provided by these springs eliminates the need for excessive force, making windows user-friendly and enjoyable to operate. With their durability, adaptability, and energy efficiency, constant force springs are the perfect solution for modern window design. By incorporating these springs into their products, window manufacturers can enhance customer satisfaction, reduce maintenance costs, and contribute to a sustainable future.
A constant force spring is a type of mechanical spring that is designed to exert a constant force throughout its range of motion. It is typically made from a flat strip of metal, usually steel or stainless steel, that is wound into a tightly coiled spiral shape. The ends of the spring are attached to other mechanical components, allowing it...

Ryanair has lost a a High Court case challenging the Irish Government’s Covid-19 travel restrictions.
The budget airline had challenged the legality of travel advice published by the Irish Government in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Ryanair claimed the travel restrictions imposed were ‘unlawful’ and amounted to a disproportionate interference in the rights of the airline and its passengers.
Today, Mr Justice Garrett Simons ruled that the Government had ‘acted lawfully’ in providing travel advice and public health advice in respect of the coronavirus pandemic on a non-statutory basis.
He said: ‘The Government is entitled, in the exercise of the executive power, to provide such advice to the public.’
Ryanair claimed the restrictions were unconstitutional and sought various orders and declarations, including an order setting aside the restrictions announced in late July.
These included measures stating that people should not travel outside of Ireland, except for essential purposes, and that everyone should holiday at home this year.
Ryanair maintained that what had been published by the Government went ‘well beyond mere travel advice’ and represented the ‘imposition of restrictions on international travel.’
Judge Simons today rejected the airline’s argument.
‘Ryanair’s principal complaint is that, as a matter of domestic constitutional law, the Government, in publishing the impugned travel advice, exceeded its executive powers and trespassed upon the legislative power,’ he said.
‘These arguments have been rejected.’
Under the current public health guidelines, any person entering the Irish State is advised to restrict their movements for a period of 14 days.
This advice does not apply to travellers entering the Irish State from a small number of countries identified on the so-called ‘green list.’
In its ruling, the High Court said the information published on the Government’s official websites presented an ‘accurate portrayal’ of the legal status of the travel advice and public health advice.
‘The advice to avoid non-essential travel and to restrict movements on entry to the State is just that: advice,’ the ruling said.
‘The Government merely requests that persons entering the State from a country not on the “green list” restrict their movements for 14 days. As of August 2020, there had been no legal requirement to do so.’
Ireland has some of the strictest Covid-19 travel advice in Europe, advising against non-essential travel to all but four countries, namely Cyprus, Finland, Latvia and Liechtenstein. Those four countries, however, have also imposed restrictions on incoming passengers from Ireland.
Last month Ryanair blasted Ireland’s top officials, claiming the nation’s airlines were being ‘locked up like North Korea’ as a result of the pandemic.
Ryanair told This is Money that holidaymakers who have booked flights and no longer wish to travel due to Government guidance but have not had their flights cancelled may still face a ‘change fee’ and have to fork out the difference in air fare costs if they want to change their flight dates.
The airline told This is Money: ‘For non-cancelled flights, standard T&Cs apply.
‘Passengers who do not wish to travel on their booked flight can move it to another date, in which case, a flight change fee and the difference in fare may apply.’
Shares in Ryanair are down over 2 per cent to €11.28 today.
Ryanair’s response to High Court decision
In a statement, a spokesperson for Ryanair, said: ‘We welcome the High Court decision, which confirms there is no legal requirement for the current travel restrictions.
‘This means that travel to/from Ireland to 15 countries on the green and amber lists, including Germany, UK, Italy, Greece, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Malta, Cyprus, Finland, Norway, Latvia, Bulgaria, Estonia and Lithuania can take place without restrictions in accordance with the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) ‘traffic light’ system.
‘We call on the Irish Govt. to immediately adopt the EU “traffic light” system and to also implement the recommendations of its own Aviation Task Force report.
‘If the Government adopts the EU “traffic light” system with no restrictions for green and amber countries it will avoid the closure of Ryanair’s Cork and Shannon bases.’
Passenger numbers tumbling
Earlier today, Ryanair admitted that it had seen passenger numbers drop by 64 per cent last month compared to figures at the same point a year ago.
The airline flew 5.1million people to destinations in September, compared with 14.1million in the same month last year.
Ryanair said it operated around 53 per cent of its normal September schedule with a load factor, which is the industry measure of how full the planes are, of 71 per cent.
In recent weeks, Ryanair announced that it planned to cut a further one in five of its flights scheduled to jet off this month, blaming ‘excessive and defective’ ongoing and ever-changing travel restrictions.
In a bid to drive up passenger numbers, Ryanair has been trying to tempt customers weary of lockdown to buy-one-get-one-free deals and seats for £5.
But, across the UK and Ireland, officials are imposing ever-shifting travel restrictions and quarantine measures on holidaymakers. Last night, it was announced that holidaymakers arriving in the UK from Poland, Turkey and and three Caribbean islands would have to self-isolate for 14 days from 4am this Saturday.
Rapidly shifting goalposts are off-putting for many holidaymakers, who face an uphill struggle trying to get valid travel insurance and run the risk of losing thousands of pounds if their travel plans are scrapped or changed at the last minute.
Jobs in jeopardy
Last month, Ryanair boss O’Leary claimed that without an extension or replacement for furlough, pilots and cabin crew would be put on unpaid leave ‘for the winter.’
He told Sky News: ‘We want to keep our pilots and our cabin crew employed and paid, but we’re going to have to have huge Government assistance for that.
‘Otherwise I’m afraid they’re all going to have to go on unpaid leave for the winter.’
He also refused to confirm he wouldn’t be sacking more staff.
‘Winter bookings, forward bookings, at the moment are terrible… we can’t rule out job losses’, he added.
Ryanair has previously suggested that it could end up having to cut 3,000 jobs as a result of the pandemic, with many staff already lumped with hefty pay cuts. The airline has also warned it may be forced to close its bases in Cork and Shannon by the end of this month if travel restrictions are not loosened.
The pandemic has triggered a jobs bloodbath within the aviation sector. British Airways owner IAG announced last month that it had already cut over 8,000 jobs across its operations. Up to 5,000 further job cuts at the airline are in the pipeline.
After warning that over 700 pilots could end up losing their jobs earlier this year, easyJet has struck a deal with its union that appears to involves no compulsory job redundancies.

A bicyclist is tragically dead following a serious accident in Las Vegas. Nevada police responded to the accident, which is being attributed to alleged drunk driving on the part of the driver involved. The collision occurred shortly after 11:30 on the night of June 26. The driver in question has been charged with DUI as well as hit and run.
The accident report is somewhat unclear. It has been confirmed that the vehicle involved struck a bicyclist at an intersection. The 40-year-old driver involved in the crash apparently fled the scene initially before turning himself in to police some time later.

After all of the hauntings and endless late nights,
the cooking and cackling and long broomstick flights,
a witch needs a break, and a little vacation,
a witch needs a place for some REAL relaxation.
And so begins this whimsical children’s book by Samantha Berger with wonderfully creative and colorful illustrations by Isabel Roxas. The Boo-La-La Witch Spa (Dial; August 2015) is a fun book to read aloud, and will be appreciated by little ones and adults alike.
What does a witch spa look like? Well, for starters, “there are toadstool and skunk candles filling the air, and paths of black rose petals, scattered with care.” On the menu you’ll find Broom Bristle Facials, Hag Stone Massages, and much more. I was pleasantly intrigued, so I telephoned Samantha to learn more. Here’s what she shared.
A Dream Come True
As soon as I could spa, I went spa-ing. I’m a longtime spa-goer, and I try to go to spas all over the world whenever I travel. I’ve always loved the health benefits of spas and the tradition of taking care of yourself. It’s one of the nicest, kindest things you can do to yourself. I love all of the things that come with spas—the names, the treatments, the products. One night, I dreamt about the book and woke up laughing the next day. I wrote the whole book that day. When I say this is a dream come true, I mean it!
The Fab-Boo Witch Spa
The book is a real hybrid mashup of the glamorous and the gross. It’s the most fabulous spa in the world, and all the treatments are witchified—broomstick facials, serpent spit spritzers, and more. I wish there was a spa like this; I think it would be great for kids’ parties.
Keeping Creativity Alive
I stay creative by getting a lot of sleep and going to spas! My last book was about the joys of sleeping, called Snoozefest. It’s about a sloth who sleeps all year long, but gets up once a year to go to a festival for the world’s greatest sleeper. Boo-La-La Witch Spa really is a love letter to the spa industry.
On Making a Wish
Health is the number-one thing. Without health there is nothing else. Every candle wish, every four-leaf-clover wish, every dandelion wish, every wish you get—you should wish for the best health you can be in. There are lots of times when I forget that and get caught up in the day to day—goals, money, achieving. But really, spas are always the reminder to myself that health is the most important thing, and we must honor our own health. It’s a gift to the self. I will be a lifetime spa-goer.
