Maritime drivers concerned about GM safety recall
DARTMOUTH – Maritime car owners who are driving vehicles affected by a massive safety recall by General Motors say they have noticed changes to their cars over the years.
“I had a big key chain on this and when we were using the car with it, it was going to standard steering. The power steering was stopping and going around,” said Allan Burns, as he sat behind the wheel of his Pontiac G5.
“We’re probably going to stop using this car right now.”
GM has recalled 2.6 million older model vehicles, including Pontiac G5s, Chevrolet Cobalts and Saturn Ions, since February over a faulty ignition switch. The switch can cause the engine to be shut off suddenly with a bump in the road or from the driver’s knee, and has been linked to thirteen deaths.
On Monday, GM announced another major recall of 1.3 million cars over power steering issues. Some cars are affected by both recalls.
Burns has received a letter from GM informing him of the recall, but the replacement part won’t be available until at least next week.
He says the fact GM may have known about the faulty switches for a decade but did nothing about it, is unacceptable.
“[I feel] disgusted, pretty cheated,” he said. “It was my daughter’s car for the longest time and that really got to me. I mean anything could have happened while she was driving it.”
Driving instructor Michael Tops, at Safety Services Nova Scotia in Dartmouth, often practices engine failure scenarios with students.
“The big thing is not panic, think about what you have to do and make it happen,” he said.
Tops showed how the wheel of his vehicle was still able to turn, while the car was in the accessory position.
“It takes a little bit of strength to make it happen but you can still turn the wheel, that’s the mechanical override,” he said. “If you are moving quickly, it’s a little easier but when you’re at slower speeds is when it becomes difficult.”
He advises drivers to try and steer the vehicle to the side of the road before attempting to re-start the ignition.
Meanwhile, a GM dealer in Halifax told Global News it’s unclear when they will receive the parts to fix the affected vehicles.
The company had estimated the ignition switches would be ready by early April.

Spectrometers, spectrophotometers, spectrographs, or spectroscopes are instruments used to gauge properties of light over a particular portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, characteristically used in spectroscopic analysis to detect materials. The variable measured is usually the light’s intensity or the polarization state. A spectrometer is used in spectroscopy for generating spectral lines and gauging their wavelengths and intensities.
Spectrometers Range of Operation:
• From Gamma Rays & X-Rays
• To Far Into the Infrared Spectrum
• Measures in Relative Units
Spectrophotometers Range of Operation:
• Measures the Spectral Range Within the Visible Spectrum
• Measures in Absolute Units

PUTRAJAYA, Jan 13 — The Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC) expects exports of oils and fats to India to decline by two per cent or 600,000 tonnes this year due to the increase in the country’s domestic production.
MPOC chief executive officer (CEO) Wan Aishah Wan Hamid said measures taken by Indian government such as the National Mission Edible Oil-Oil Palm (NMEO-OP) will definitely have an immediate impact on the market.
The Indian government launched NMEO-OP in August 2021 as part of initiatives to reduce the country’s high dependency on edible oils imports.
Key highlights of the mission are to increase the total area under oil palm plantation from 0.37 million hectare to one million hectare while the production of crude palm oil (CPO) is expected to go up by 1.12 million tonnes until 2026 and up to 2.8 million tonnes by 2030.
“India is a key player in the oils and fats industry and any policy change usually has an immediate impact on the market.
“The Indian government reviews its policies periodically and introduces changes; at times with sunset clauses, to limit the impact of certain factors like high prices, food inflation, and more,” she said.
Wan Aishah said this when delivering her presentation titled ‘Changing Dynamics of the Indian Edible Oil Policy and its Impact on the Palm Oil Demand’ at the Palm Oil Economic Review and Outlook Seminar (R&O) 2022 organised by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) today.
She said Malaysian palm oil exports to India have hit a high of 4.4 million tonnes in 2019 to a low of 2.7 million tonnes in 2020, mainly in reaction to the change in import policy.
Malaysian palm oil exports to India in 2021 amounted to 3.6 million tonnes, thus retaining its position as the number one buyer of Malaysian palm oil.
On December 20, 2021, Indian government announced the extension of ‘Free Import’ of palm olein till December 31, 2022 and reduction in the import duty of refined, bleached and deodorised (RBD) palm olein by five per cent until March 31, 2022.
“These measures will affect the buying pattern of the Indian edible oil industry and will also have an impact on the overall dynamics of palm oil imports in India,” she said.
Meanwhile, on the way forward for Malaysian Biodiesel agenda, the Malaysian Biodiesel Association (MBA) president U.R. Unnithan in its paperwork titled ‘EU-RED II: The Future Prospect of the Malaysian Biodiesel Industry’ said maximising domestic use for transport B20/B30 and Industry B10/B20 needs to be accelerated to support first generation biodiesel industry.
“We have to accept that Palm Oil use for Biofuel in the European Union is going to steadily decline.
“A policy framework on production, domestic utilisation and export of palm waste oils is very much necessary and should be put in place quickly,” he said.
In addition, Unnithan said carbon tax mechanism needs to be clearly articulated and use of biofuels should be justified using this metric.
“HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) as a new frontier should be explored. Participation of first generation players in it should be facilitated.
“First generation biodiesel players should be incentivised through government grants to retrofit their plants to use waste oils,” he added. — Bernama

Drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes results in the formation of reactive aldehydes in the lung, which are capable of forming adducts with several proteins and DNA. Acetaldehyde and malondialdehyde are the major aldehydes generated in high levels in the lung of subjects with alcohol use disorder who smoke cigarettes. In addition to the above aldehydes, several other aldehydes like 4-hydroxynonenal, formaldehyde and acrolein are also detected in the lung due to exposure to toxic gases, vapors and chemicals. These aldehydes react with nucleophilic targets in cells such as DNA, lipids and proteins to form both stable and unstable adducts. This adduction may disturb cellular functions as well as damage proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Among several adducts formed in the lung, malondialdehyde DNA (MDA-DNA) adduct and hybrid malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde (MAA) protein adducts have been shown to initiate several pathological conditions in the lung. MDA-DNA adducts are pre-mutagenic in mammalian cells and induce frame shift and base-pair substitution mutations, whereas MAA protein adducts have been shown to induce inflammation and inhibit wound healing. This review provides an insight into different reactive aldehyde adducts and their role in the pathogenesis of lung disease.

Patty Mills set a new career-high with 29 points to lead the Brooklyn Nets to a 120-96 triumph over Oklahoma City on Monday morning. Kevin Durant of the Nets led the way with 33 points, but Mills made nine of twelve from beyond the arc for his greatest three-point total in the NBA. It’s also a Brooklyn record for three-pointers made by a bench player since Mills’ performance was crucial in the team’s 24-point victory. The 33-year-old made history earlier this month when he became the first NBA player to make his first ten three-pointers of the season.
While the Australian Olympic basketball captain is in fine form, Josh Giddey, another big Aussie, failed to deliver for the Thunder. After being selected with the sixth overall choice in the 2021 NBA Draft, the 19-year-old has had a wonderful start to his NBA career, but he couldn’t match it against the Nets, finishing with six points on ten shots and four turnovers. On Tuesday, Giddey and OKC will face the Miami Heat, while Mills and the Nets will face the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.
Regardless of KD’s greatness translating to wins, Harden needs to step it up, this year he has been only an above-average player, till Kyrie is out, it is the former leading scorer’s job to carry the team with KD and take some burden off of him.

According to data obtained by Euronews from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the B.1.617 variant has been detected in seven European countries.
The COVID-19 variant believed to be behind a devastating surge of infections and deaths in India has been detected in 17 countries worldwide including multiple European nations.
According to data obtained by Euronews from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the B.1.617 variant — also known as the Indian variant because it was first detected in the Southeast Asian country — has now been found in seven European countries.
These are Belgium, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, and the UK.
The UK had by April 21 detected 132 cases — the most of any European country. The other European countries have so far observed fewer than 10 cases each.
In its latest weekly update released on Tuesday, the World Health Organisation flagged that "at least 17 countries" have seen infections with the Indian variant and that most of the samples "come from India, the United Kingdom, the United States and Singapore."
The B.1.617 variant has multiple sub-lineages which slightly differ by their characteristic mutations but one of the main ones, called L452R, has been associated with increased transmissibility and lower resistance to treatment including vaccination, the WHO noted.
The head of the German laboratory BioNTech said on Wednesday however that he is "confident" their COVID vaccine developed in collaboration with Pfizer is effective against the Indian variant.
Ugur Sahin told a virtual press conference that tests are underway but that "the Indian variant has mutations that we have already studied and against which our vaccine works, which makes us confident."
India passed the grim milestone of 200,000 COVID-19 deaths on Wednesday with more than 3,000 deaths reported over the previous 24 hours — a daily record for the country. The number of fatalities has soared in recent weeks with about 44,000 deaths registered since March 1.
It has also detected more than 300,000 new infections for the seventh consecutive day.
The dramatic situation has been compounded by shortages of medical supplies, prompting multiple other countries to prepare emergency shipments.
The first delivery of ventilators and oxygen concentrators from the UK arrived in India on Tuesday while a French plane was on its way. The European Union and the US have also pledged support.
In response to the variant, the UK, France, Germany and Belgium have closed their borders to travellers from India, allowing only their citizens and residents to enter with strict quarantine requirements upon arrival.

Armed by an anticipated 50 billion yen ($454 million) worth of synergies annually over five years, the merged company will expand on Idemitsu's existing ventures in Vietnam and aim to enter new markets, as demand for gasoline ebbs in its home market of Japan.
A truce reached by Idemitsu's management and the founding family ends nearly two years of squabbles and court battles. The new entity will control 30% of the Japanese gasoline market.
Concessions to the family include a promise by both companies to uphold the principles of founder Sazo Idemitsu -- known for his reluctance to lay off staff even during economic downturns -- and reserving two seats on the board of the combined entity for his descendants. One of those directors will be Masakazu Idemitsu, the eldest son of Chairman Emeritus Shosuke Idemitsu, the current patriarch.
Regarding the development, Idemitsu issued a statement on Wednesday saying it has resumed "discussions with our major shareholders." Showa Shell confirmed that discussions toward a merger are underway.
The Japanese market welcomed the reconciliation on Wednesday. Idemitsu shares briefly surged by the daily limit of 20% before closing 475 yen higher at 3,980 yen. Showa Shell finished 10% higher at 1,728 yen, at one point touching a 19% gain.
Idemitsu and Showa Shell first announced merger plans in July 2015, but the Idemitsu family staged a surprise revolt against the integration in June 2016, citing differences in corporate cultures and business strategies.
Founded by Sazo Idemitsu in 1911, the company has long been known for a rare management style that treats employees as family members rather than staff. Until recently, it was one of the very few Japanese corporations not to have a forced retirement age. The company had no time card, under the principle that employees were trusted to come to work and stay until their tasks were done.
The Idemitsu family feared that a merger with Showa Shell, a subsidiary of the Royal Dutch Shell group, would alter the company's venerable traditions. With a combined 33.92% stake, the family held veto power over the merger.
Unable to sway the heirs through talks, the Idemitsu board decided last July to issue roughly 120 billion yen ($1.1 billion) in additional shares, equivalent to 30% of the entire circulation.
The family cried foul over what it saw as a blatant attempt by the company to dilute its ownership. The clan sought an injunction against the share issuance but was rejected by the Tokyo District Court. The family suffered another blow when an appeal was also dismissed by the Tokyo High Court.
The founding family's stake now dropped to roughly 26%, removing its veto power. Market participants look back at this as the turning point in the battle.
Despite the tide turning against him, Shosuke Idemitsu decided to continue with his fight against the board by purchasing an additional 2% stake. That was not easy since he had to put up his 11 million shares as collateral to borrow roughly $190 million worth of capital to finance the transaction.
Around this time, activist investor Yoshiaki Murakami approached the Idemitsu heirs, offering to lend part of the money toward that end. This granted him access to the family, and he suggested to them that it would be more beneficial to enter negotiations to extract better conditions than to be kept out of the loop of the Idemitsu-Showa talks.
Already past 90 years of age, Shosuke Idemitsu listened to the investor with keen interest. Rather than prolong a battle with no end in sight, he decided, it would make better sense to secure a seat on the board for his son, and to have the family continue to have a say in the company's future.
The final push came from the emergence of international investors. It became known that Hong Kong-based Oasis Management had acquired Idemitsu shares and was pushing the company to mount a takeover bid on Showa Shell.
Such a takeover would have entailed a premium of 20% to 30% on Showa Shell's share prices, a financial burden to Idemitsu. That would have pushed down Idemitsu's stocks, costing the family dearly. The prospect of the heirs' stake being diluted yet again also loomed.
Shosuke Idemitsu made a new proposal that his son be installed on the board, which Idemitsu's management was prepared to accept. The compromise made it possible for the stalled negotiations to move again.

Simple design with great reliability
I bought a Stow-N-Go holster for my compact hi-cap 9mm pistol because it offered multiple position flexibility for concealed carry. When I first got it, as usual, panic sets-in as it does with any new leather holster, as it seemed that there was no way that I could get my gun into it. But, with some patience and a verified-to-be-unloaded gun, I wiggled it in and wore the combination around the house for awhile and the leather rapidly conformed to the gun. It has maintained its shape and fit for almost a year. This holster has become my EDC holster and I use it either in the "appendix", or "behind either hip" positions. It presents the grip to the hand well and allows both a smooth draw and easy two-handed re-holstering.
The best feature of this holster is the belt clip. It is what I believe to be the best plastic belt clip available. It is strong and secure and it will not allow the clip to slide over your belt and have the holstered gun and holster tumble out onto the floor when you move. I retired a competitive brand holster because it did that twice. This clip also has a cut-out in the hooked bottom part that lets it straddle a belt loop on your pants. That's a great feature because the position of the loops around the waistband of pants vary widely. It also seems that the positon that you choose is right over one of them. I say Bravo Galco. Great work!

Ca2+ binding to site I of the cardiac Ca2+ pump is sufficient to dissociate phospholamban.
ABSTRACT Phospholamban (PLB) inhibits the activity of SERCA2a, the Ca(2+)-ATPase in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum, by decreasing the apparent affinity of the enzyme for Ca(2+). Recent cross-linking studies have suggested that PLB binding and Ca(2+) binding to SERCA2a are mutually exclusive. PLB binds to the E2 conformation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase, preventing formation of E1, the conformation that binds two Ca(2+) (at sites I and II) with high affinity and is required for ATP hydrolysis. Here we determined whether Ca(2+) binding to site I, site II, or both sites is sufficient to dissociate PLB from the Ca(2+) pump. Seven SERCA2a mutants with amino acid substitutions at Ca(2+)-binding site I (E770Q, T798A, and E907Q), site II (E309Q and N795A), or both sites (D799N and E309Q/E770Q) were made, and the effects of Ca(2+) on N30C-PLB cross-linking to Lys(328) of SERCA2a were measured. In agreement with earlier reports with the skeletal muscle Ca(2+)-ATPase, none of the SERCA2a mutants (except E907Q) hydrolyzed ATP in the presence of Ca(2+); however, all were phosphorylatable by P(i) to form E2P. Ca(2+) inhibition of E2P formation was observed only in SERCA2a mutants retaining site I. In cross-linking assays, strong cross-linking between N30C-PLB and each Ca(2+)-ATPase mutant was observed in the absence of Ca(2+). Importantly, however, micromolar Ca(2+) inhibited PLB cross-linking only to mutants retaining a functional Ca(2+)-binding site I. The dynamic equilibrium between Ca(2+) pumps and N30C-PLB was retained by all mutants, demonstrating normal regulation of cross-linking by ATP, thapsigargin, and anti-PLB antibody. From these results we conclude that site I is the key Ca(2+)-binding site regulating the physical association between PLB and SERCA2a.

ABSTRACT: Phospholamban (PLB) is a membrane protein that regulates heart muscle relaxation rates via interactions with the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA). When PLB is phosphorylated or Arg9Cys (R9C) mutated, inhibition of SERCA is relieved. 13C and 15N solid-state NMR spectroscopy is utilized to investigate conformational changes of PLB upon phosphorylation and R9C mutation. 13C=O NMR spectra of the cytoplasmic domain reveal two α-helical structural components with population changes upon phosphorylation and R9C mutation. The appearance of an unstructured component is observed on domain Ib. 15N NMR spectra indicate an increase in backbone dynamics of the cytoplasmic domain. Wild-type PLB (WT-PLB), Ser16 phosphorylated PLB (P-PLB) and R9C mutated PLB (R9C-PLB) all have a very dynamic domain Ib and the transmembrane domain has an immobile component. 15N NMR spectra indicate that the cytoplasmic domain of R9C-PLB adopts an orientation similar to P-PLB and shifts away from the membrane surface. Domain Ib (Leu28) of P-PLB and R9C-PLB loses the alignment. The R9C-PLB adopts a conformation similar to P-PLB with a population shift to a more extended and disordered state. The NMR data suggests the more extended and disorder forms of PLB may relate to inhibition relief.The Journal of Physical Chemistry B 02/2014; 118(8). · 3.38 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The sarcoendoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) plays a key role in cardiac calcium handling and is considered a high-value target for the treatment of heart failure. SERCA undergoes conformational changes as it harnesses the chemical energy of ATP for active transport. X-ray crystallography has provided insight into SERCA structural substates, but it is not known how well these static snapshots describe in vivo conformational dynamics. The goals of this work were to quantify the direction and magnitude of SERCA motions as the pump performs work in live cardiac myocytes, and to identify structural determinants of SERCA regulation by phospholamban. We measured intramolecular fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between fluorescent proteins fused to SERCA cytoplasmic domains. We detected four discrete structural substates for SERCA expressed in cardiac muscle cells. The relative populations of these discrete states oscillated with electrical pacing. Low FRET states were most populated in low Ca (diastole), and were indicative of an open, disordered structure for SERCA in the E2 (Ca-free) enzymatic substate. High FRET states increased with Ca (systole), suggesting rigidly closed conformations for the E1 (Ca-bound) enzymatic substates. Notably, a special compact E1 state was observed after treatment with β-adrenergic agonist or with coexpression of phosphomimetic mutants of phospholamban. The data suggest that SERCA calcium binding induces the pump to undergo a transition from an open, dynamic conformation to a closed, ordered structure. Phosphorylated phospholamban stabilizes a unique conformation of SERCA that is characterized by a compact architecture.Biophysical Journal 10/2013; 105(8):1812-21. · 3.83 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: We have used time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) to characterize the interaction between phospholamban (PLB) and the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca-ATPase (SERCA) under conditions that relieve SERCA inhibition. Unphosphorylated PLB inhibits SERCA in cardiac SR, but inhibition is relieved by either micromolar Ca(2+) or PLB phosphorylation. In both cases, it has been proposed that inhibition is relieved by dissociation of the complex. To test this hypothesis, we attached fluorophores to the cytoplasmic domains of SERCA and PLB, and reconstituted them functionally in lipid bilayers. TR-FRET, which permitted simultaneous measurement of SERCA-PLB binding and structure, was measured as a function of PLB phosphorylation and [Ca(2+)]. In all cases, two structural states of the SERCA-PLB complex were resolved, probably corresponding to the previously described T and R structural states of the PLB cytoplasmic domain. Phosphorylation of PLB at S16 completely relieved inhibition, partially dissociated the SERCA-PLB complex, and shifted the T/R equilibrium within the bound complex toward the R state. Since the PLB concentration in cardiac SR is at least 10 times that in our FRET measurements, we calculate that most of SERCA contains bound phosphorylated PLB in cardiac SR, even after complete phosphorylation. 4 μM Ca(2+) completely relieved inhibition but did not induce a detectable change in SERCA-PLB binding or cytoplasmic domain structure, suggesting a mechanism involving structural changes in SERCA's transmembrane domain. We conclude that Ca(2+) and PLB phosphorylation relieve SERCA-PLB inhibition by distinct mechanisms, but both are achieved primarily by structural changes within the SERCA-PLB complex, not by dissociation of that complex.Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 05/2014; · 2.28 Impact Factor

Prince George’s County Police are still looking for suspects in separate shooting and stabbing incidents in Capitol Heights and Seat Pleasant that took place within an hour of each other. Meanwhile, a 17-year old from Bowie is in jail after being arrested in the stabbing death of his father.
Son Charged With Murder in Father’s Death
Prince George’s County Police arrested Barba Koroma, 17, in the murder of his father on July 26. According to police reports, the elder of the same name, Barba Koroma, 62, was still alive when he was found, but eventually died at the scene from stab wounds.
The younger Koroma has been charged as an adult with first and second degree murder and is being held without bond.

Patrol officers found the younger Koroma walking out of a wooded area near the scene with minor injuries. He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment before he was taken to the Prince George’s police homicide unit where he was taken in for questioning.
According to police, the father and son were previously arguing inside a van the father was driving. The Koroma son admitted to stabbing his father shortly before the accident. After the van crashed, the younger Koroma is believed to have dragged his father out of the vehicle and into the woods in that vicinity.
Investigation Continues in Similar Separate Incidents
Police are still searching for suspects in separate stabbing and shooting incidents that occurred within 45 minutes of each other on July 25 in Capitol Heights and Seat Pleasant. However, the two incidents don’t appear to be related.
Shortly prior to 8:30 p.m. on the 600 block of Birchleaf Avenue, Seat Pleasant and Prince George’s County police responded to a call and found a male victim with multiple gunshot wounds. The first responding officers administered immediate “life saving” measures when they arrived. After treatment from Prince George’s EMS, the victim was taken to the University of Maryland Prince George’s County Hospital and is in stable condition after sustaining very critical injuries, according to Seat Pleasant Police Chief Devan A. Martin.
Police have distributed a lookout for a male approximately 5 feet, 8 inches with a slim build who was wearing a white shirt at the time of the attack.
Then around 9:15 p.m., police said that employees at a Jerry’s Restaurant on the 5700 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Highway called and reported a stabbing.
When officers arrived they found a male victim with multiple stab wounds. He was taken to the hospital after what were described as very critical injuries. Police do not believe that the victim was stabbed where he was found, and they are working to determine a timeline.
However, during a hastily called press conference in the restaurant’s parking lot, Chief Martin said that the incidents are isolated and there appears to be no immediate nor is there a continuous threat to the community. Martin also said that the early phase of the investigation didn’t find any evidence that these two isolated incidents are gang-related.
However, Martin would not reveal any specific information about the suspects in either incident. He said that police have identified a few people of interest and are working with Prince George’s County police as the investigation continues.

A popular return speaker, Dr. Adam Chapnick, professor of defence studies at the Royal Military College, gave a vigorous endorsement of immigration to Canada and what he sees as a positive impact on multiculturalism.
The crux of his talk was that “Unlike some other countries immigration is not a choice but an economic necessity” because of demographic trends. He was upbeat about Canada’s integration of immigrants since Canada has a long history of recognition of individual rights.
The chief future challenge is “diaspora politics,” he cautioned. “Immigrants… must accept that Canada’s national interest is paramount.”

The Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lambasted the Ogun State government for saying it did not invite Sunday Adeyemo to help solve its security challenges.
Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, on Monday, stormed Igua, Yewa North Local area of Ogun State to chase away herdsmen, days after he visited Igangan in Oyo State to sack Fulani herdsmen, whom he accused of killings, kidnapping among others.
It was reported that houses belonging to Fulani herdsmen and a cow market were set ablaze in Igua during his visit.
But, the Ogun State Government, in a statement by the Commissioner for Information, Waheed Odusile, said it did not seek the assistance of Sunday Igboho in Ogun.
Reacting, the PDP said, “the shameless disclaimer on the intervention of Chief Sunday Adeyemo is clear evidence that all is not well with the government.
“It is a manifestation of the fact that the government is not only confused by its manifest failures in core areas of governance, it shows that the government is obviously bereft of problem-solving ideas and initiatives.”
In a statement signed by the State Chairman, Sikirulahi Ogundele, the PDP recalled that “the ruling APC government in Ogun State has earlier made a public statement through one Remi Hazzan on purported invitation to the popular Pan Yoruba activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, on the growing advocacy for self-help in the face of deteriorating issues of security across the South West zone and Ogun State in particular.”
The party said it was, however, not too surprised to see the same government, in what it called its “unending penchant for confusion and ‘trial and error’, issuing a disclaimer to what its official had earlier confirmed”; saying it “wonders when the ruling government would desist from blowing cold and hot at the same time.”
The statement reads in part:
“For us as a pro-people party, the government’s disclaimer seems to be an attempt to pull wool to cover the eyes of Ogun people from the facts. The denial is a blatant attempt to massage the ego of the General Muhamadu Buhari-led federal government.
“In the last few days, we heard the news of how Fulani herdsmen were allegedly led by a team of fully armed military personnel into a sleepy rural community around Ijoun, Yewa North axis of Ogun state. The reports of harassment, beating, and molestation of locals and some community leaders who tried to prevent the trespass by the herdsmen was conveniently waved off by the ruling government.
“On this, the ruling APC government maintains silence all in a desperate attempt to satisfy the whims and caprices of the Federal Government, which has successfully turned itself into the official mouthpiece of criminal elements amongst the herdsmen.
However, as a political party with good conscience, we shall continue to follow, educate and mobilise members of the public on all insecurity challenges going on in Ogun State and in Nigeria with rapt alertness and will issue full condemnation to the killings of innocent citizens and residents by foreign or local Fulani or any criminal group in the state.
“Without any delay, we make bold to, therefore, call on the ruling government to go an extra mile and be bold enough to engage all stakeholders in the State and South West, particularly anyone or group who volunteers to assist the state in stemming the current trend of insecurity.”

In the last decade, Sri Lanka has been suffering from a lack of clean drinking water.
This condition is largely due to the absence of an effective, united government in Sri Lanka and its failure to protect the country’s people.
According to a report from the Asian Legal Resource Center, there has been an increase in the number of serious health problems in more than 15 out of the 25 districts in Sri Lanka. Access to clean drinking water remains a problem in Sri Lanka today, based on a study conducted by a local Sri Lankan press agency, New 1st, and the University of Peradeniya.
Since 2017, TASMINA has worked to create a community development project with Tube Wells for people in these underprivileged and impoverished areas. Over the last month, the creation of another set of Tube Wells has been completed in the Anuradhapura District, Sri Lanka’s largest province with over 800,000 people as per preventionweb.net, planting 22 wells in Anuradhapura alone.

Pathum Wan, Bangkok, Thailand
Also known as San Pha Phrom in thai, Erawan Shine is a Hindu shrine and popular worship attraction in downtown Bangkok that houses a statue of Phra Phrom, the Thai representation of the Hindu god Lord Brahma.
Erawan Shine was built in 1956 as part of the then government-owned Erawan Hotel ( now replaced by the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok) to eliminate the bad karma believed caused by laying the foundations on the wrong date. It's said that in addition to the hotel’s delayed construction, many mishaps like workers got hurt or killed kept happening and boat carrying building materials for the hotel sink leading to superstitious labourers refusing to continue work. Since Erawan is the name of the elephant escort of Indra in Hindu mythology, a priest then determine that Erawan required a passenger and suggested it be the Hindu god of creation, Lord Brahma. Apparently with the construction of the shine, the rest of the building work carry on smoothly. Even when Grand Hyatt bought over the hotel during the 1990s and rebuild it, Erawan Shine remain untouched by them.
This shrine is said to bring those who visit good luck and that it will grant any visitor a wish. Many locals and tourist also gather here with everything from lighted incense to colourful marigold garlands to present as offerings. It often features performances by resident Thai dance troupes, who are hired by worshippers in return for seeing their prayers at the shrine answered.

It was just a few months ago when Vishal Dadlani of the famous music duo ‘Vishal-Shekhar’ had taken to his Twitter and slammed other music directors for remixing and recreating their songs without their permission. In their Tweet, Vishal criticized composers who remix old songs and then take away the credit. He wrote:
“Warning: I will sue anyone making remixes of Vishal & Shekhar songs. I’ll even move the court against the films & musicians. After Saaki Saaki, I hear upcoming bastardisations include Dus Bahaane, Deedaar De, Sajnaji Vaari Vaari, Desi Girl & more. Make your own songs, vultures! (sic)”
Here, check out the Tweet:

However, this time they turned the tables and saved their own baby — the popular song Dus Bahane. Well, the music composers of ‘Baaghi 3’ had already been remixed in a way that didn’t go down well with Vishal-Shekhar. The song was already shot and the composers have no choice other than rescuing the song as far as possible.
The new version of the song, starring Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor, was released on Wednesday and it has failed to receive the love that was received by the original song from the movie Dus.
The remake version of the song has invited a meme fest on Twitter. The creative minds on Twitter have come up with hilarious memes and jokes, ever since the song was released. From dance moves to the comparison between the original and remake version of the song, Twitterati just can’t stop gushing about the song.

To all of you out there who think Smiths Station High is Central High’s biggest rival in football, you are wrong – very wrong. The honor of being the Red Devils’ biggest and also its oldest rival belongs to none other than this week’s opponent Opelika High.
This will be the 76th time the two schools have met on the gridiron to determine – in most cases over the years – the most dominant East Alabama high school football team. Over the years, the winner of this game usually won the area title and earned a trip to the Alabama High School Athletic Association playoffs as the top seeded team when two teams were allowed to participate in the postseason from the same area. There have been 75 years of clean, smash mouth football to enjoy, for the most part. There was a time when the Central High coaches were arrested by the Opelika Police Department for a quick tour of their facilities, but that was way back in the 1960s. Since then, it has been pretty much a clean battle by both teams.
The two schools met for the first time on No. 9, 1928 – the first year Central High had a football team and the 12th season for Opelika High and it showed – when the Bulldogs routed the Red Devils 42-0. The next two meetings were not any better. In fact, they were worse for Central. The Red Devils lost the next two meetings by identical scores of 48-0 in 1929 and 1930. Central claimed its first victory over Opelika in 1932 when it won 7-6. Central’s record against the Bulldogs at that point in history was 1-3. Central’s first coach Kenner Kimbrough was 0-2 against Opelika and its second coach W.F. Darnell was 1-1.
The two teams did not meet again until 1947 when Jessie Thomas Garrett became coach of the Red Devils and it took him six seasons to get the Bulldogs and the Red Devils back on the football field against each other. Over the next 11 seasons, Garrett guided the Red Devils to 10 wins in 11 meetings. Central went from 1-3 to 11-4 against the Bulldogs under Garrett.
Henry Gresham, Central’s fourth head coach, posted a 4-1 record over Opelika. Sam Carter, Red Devils head coach No. 5, was 2-0 and beat the Bulldogs to win the Border Wars area title. The next Central head coach, Jack Ray, went 1-2 against Opelika during his three seasons with the school. Frank Sadler took over the program in 1968 and promptly put a 64-9 whipping on the Central rival. Sadler was 3-1 against Opelika in his four seasons. Pete Jenkins, whose Red Devils won two games and tied one while losing seven in 1972, was 1-0 versus Opelika with a 19-18 victory.
To that point in history, Central and Opelika had played every season between 1947 and 1972. Then the Bulldogs were off the schedule for a year as Wayne Trawick took over as Central’s head coach in 1973.
Trawick’s Red Devils were 12-13 against Opelika over 24 seasons – the two played twice in 1986 with the Bulldogs winning the regular season contest 14-7 and then 14-3 in the playoffs. Ron Nelson became Central’s coach in 1998. Over his 12 years, Opelika won eight times to Central’s four. The 11th Central head coach, Woodrow Lowe, was 2-2 against Opelika. Its 12th and current head coach Jamey DuBose is 3-1 against Opelika thanks to the unbelievable passing accuracy of Bulldog quarterback Jake Bentley, now at the University of South Carolina, in a 27-21 victory over the Red Devils.
Speaking of great performances in the rivalry, I will always remember when I knew Justyn Ross, now at Clemson, was going to be a star. He caught a pass against Opelika and was hit almost at the same time by two defenders without effect. Ross bounced off both and ran for a touchdown. Then there was the introduction of Triandos Luke to the rivalry in 1996 when he caught a long touchdown pass to tie the game in the closing seconds to force overtime. Central kicked a field goal to win 17-14. And then there was a 7-3 loss in 1985 that showcased a pair of Parade All-Americans – Central’s James “Bo Peep” Joseph and Opelika’s Sean Smith. While Central may have lost that one, it went further in the playoffs that year, making it to the second round before losing to eventual state champion Northview of Dothan while Opelika lost in the opening round to Northview. Hopefully, Friday’s game will bring on more exciting memories of the series.
Overall, Central enters this week’s game with Opelika with a record of 43-32-0. In those numbers are 16 shutouts of which each team has won eight games. From 1947 until 1972, a span of 26 seasons, Central went 21-5. With those first four games back in the 1920s and 1930s, Central was 22-8 in the first 30 years of the rivalry. Since then, the Red Devils trail Opelika in the series with 21 wins for Central and 24 wins for the Bulldogs.
That folks is what a rivalry looks like. While Central has the 11-game advantage over the Bulldogs, it came over 75 years.
When the rivalry continues on Friday evening in Opelika at Bulldog Stadium, it no longer matters as far as winning an area title or making the AHSAA playoffs. But, to those who have followed the rivalry for the past 50 years or so, it still matters a lot – believe me. It matters a whole lot.

By Curt Anderson, AP Legal Affairs Writer
MIAMI Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner and TV "Dancing With The Stars" champion Helio Castroneves was indicted Thursday on tax evasion and tax fraud charges, accused of using offshore accounts to hide millions of dollars in income from the Internal Revenue Service.
Castroneves, 33, is charged with conspiracy and six counts of tax evasion for purportedly failing to report to the IRS about $5.5 million in income between 1999 and 2004, according to court documents. Each count carries a maximum five-year prison sentence.
Also facing charges are Katiucia Castroneves, 35, the race car driver's sister and business manager, and attorney Alan R. Miller, 71, of Birmingham, Mich. All three are scheduled to make court appearances Friday and it wasn't immediately clear if they had hired defense lawyers. None were under arrest Thursday.
"This case sends a clear message that the IRS is committed to vigorously enforcing the tax laws and stopping offshore tax evasion," said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman.
Castroneves, a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, has won the Indianapolis 500 twice and is currently second in the IndyCar Series points standings. He and partner Julianne Hough won the 2007 "Dancing With The Stars" TV reality show competition on ABC.
The indictment charges that Castroneves illegally concealed income from Penske Racing Inc. and the Brazilian firm Coimex International S.A. Neither company is charged with any wrongdoing.
In Penske's case, prosecutors say Castroneves was to be paid $5 million in exchange for rights to use his name, likeness and image. The money was initially supposed to go to a Panamanian shell corporation, but then was diverted to a Dutch entity called Fintage Licensing.
Fintage was set up as a "deferred royalty plan" in which U.S. tax payments can be delayed, which is only legal if Castroneves had no relationship or control over it. Prosecutors say he did have control and that false statements were made to Penske about the relationship.
Coimex paid Castroneves $600,000 between 1999 through 2001 for sponsorship contracts, but he only paid taxes on about $50,000, prosecutors said.
Katuicia Castroneves transferred some of the hidden money to a Swiss bank account she controlled with her brother, court documents show.
Working telephone number for Castroneves and his sister could not be located Thursday. Miller did not immediately return a call to his office in Michigan.
Castroneves recently signed on with "Entertainment Tonight" to be a correspondent for some episodes of this year's "Dancing With The Stars" show. He did a similar stint last year.
He has raced for Team Penske since 2000, capturing Indy 500 victories in 2000 and 2001, becoming the youngest driver, 27, to win the famous race twice. Castroneves has recorded a total of 18 victories and 43 top-three finishes, according to Penske's Web site.
Miami-Dade County records show that Castroneves, who is single, lives in a six-bedroom, six-bath home in Coral Gables valued at about $2.3 million.

That's the challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges. Showcasing their own brand this week.
For my card I heat embossed the SSS Merry Christmas Stamp with Papermania superfine silver embossing powder.
And boy did it want to stick today ;-) this is my third cardpanel lol.
And then I diecut a snowflake border with a die from a Dutch compan(Precious MArieke winterfun border).
Mounted the panel with foamtape.
On the cardpanel I added a strips of blue glitter paper to the cardbase.
Stuck the panel on top, I first tried a lighter blue, but I lopve the contrast this one gives, sadly it was my last bit, infact there's a tiny hole from a butterflu i unched out ;-) but you can't see it, so sssst, don't tell anyone!
Thought about adding some sequins, but I really like this and I feel it's intricate enough.
I'm really loving this Merry Christmas stamp and have used it plenty since I got it, it's so pretty.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) refers to a combination of physical and emotional symptoms that some women may experience in the days or weeks before menstruation. It is important to note that not all women experience PMS and that the symptoms and their severity can vary from woman to woman.
The exact causes of premenstrual syndrome are not yet fully understood. One reason could be that the women affected are hypersensitive to the normal hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle.
The syndrome can include disorders such as headaches, skin problems, a slight feeling of tightness in the breasts, abdominal discomfort as well as mood swings, irritability, nervous tension, moodiness, tiredness and sleeping problems.

originality and imagination
Areas Where JoBeth Williams is Creative, Unique, Unstable, or Compulsive:
Her childhood or her relationship with her parents was unsettling or unstable in some way, so that JoBeth Williams may have never felt that she was standing on solid ground. One of her parents may have been unusual, eccentric, or an inconstant influence in her life. Abrupt changes in location or in family relationships may have made JoBeth feel insecure, but positively - she was given more freedom and less pressure to conform to conventions, which enables JoBeth Williams to be more of an individual and less tethered to restrictive ideas of how one "should" behave, feel, or live.
JoBeth Williams has a very active imagination and powerful fantasies. She may develop an interest in the supernatural, psychic phenomena or occult subjects. Williams may have strange fantasies and/or nebulous fears of "ghosts", "the astral plane", or death. It is better for JoBeth Williams not to dabble in such areas unless she is thoroughly grounded in the practical world as well.
JoBeth can become obsessed with her health, self-improvement and personal development. The psychological elements of disease interest her, and JoBeth Williams may endlessly psychoanalyze herself and others.
Also, she may work compulsively and exhaust herself through overwork. JoBeth Williams can be a tyrant with co-workers, and it may be easier for JoBeth to work in solitude.
At times, Williams' will seems to be paralyzed and her vigor somewhat low. JoBeth Williams is extremely sensitive and highly impressionable and may be subject to deception or illusion. Williams also has a tendency to be a martyr.
She is attracted to ideas that are deep and mysterious and JoBeth would like to explore the depths of the universe. But JoBeth Williams seems to be overly receptive to these ideas and could become obsessed with her thinking, leading to nervous exhaustion or even a breakdown.
She is inclined to be very imaginative and likely to have occasional clairvoyant visions. But JoBeth Williams should beware of strange pursuits that could lead her to the wrong path and to eventual disappointments.

This was one of the only properties we could find to accommodate 5 people for our recent trip to Six Flags New England. While it's a little out of the way, it fit the bill. The room we booked was a two room suite which consisted of sitting area with kitchen and separate sleeping area. The suite was spacious and clean. The kitchen area has a cooktop, full size microwave, dishwasher, and full size fridge. The sofa in the sitting area coverts to a sleeper and the gas fireplace is a nice touch. The sleeping area has two queen beds with a bathroom and closet off that room.
The breakfast was standard, but items weren't restocked and garbage wasn't emptied. I would suggest getting there quickly and early.
As far as being "off the beaten path" - it is about 15-20 minutes or so from Six Flags New England. There are options for food and shopping nearby as well.
Overall, it was a good place to stay and we would visit again.

904L Fasteners with World Wide Shipping
Lightning Bolt is world renown in the exotic alloy fastener market.
One such alloy, 904L, is a non-stabilised low carbon high alloy
austenitic stainless steel. The addition of copper to this grade
gives it greatly improved resistance to strong reducing acids,
particularly sulphuric acid. It is also highly resistant to chloride
attack - both pitting / crevice corrosion and stress corrosion
This grade is non-magnetic in all conditions and has excellent
weldability and formability. The austenitic structure also gives
this grade excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures.
Due to its intrinsic anti-corrosive properties, 904L can be made
into bolts, nuts, washers, studs, socket head cap screws, as well as
a wide variety of other fasteners.
904L does have very substantial contents of the high cost
ingredients nickel and molybdenum. Many of the applications in which
this grade has previously performed well can now be fulfilled at
lower cost by duplex stainless steel 2205 (S31803 or S32205), so it
is used less commonly than in the past.
Although originally developed for its resistance to sulphuric acid
it also has a very high resistance to a wide range of environments.
A PRE of 35 indicates that the material has good resistance to warm
sea water and other high chloride environments. High nickel content
results in a much better resistance to stress corrosion cracking
than the standard austenitic grades. Copper adds resistance to
sulphuric and other reducing acids, particularly in the very
aggressive "mid concentration" range.
In most environments 904L has a corrosion performance intermediate
between the standard austenitic grade 316L and the very highly
alloyed 6% molybdenum and similar "super austenitic" grades. In
aggressive nitric acid 904L has less resistance than molybdenum-free
grades such as 304L and 310L. For maximum stress corrosion cracking
resistance in critical environments the steel should be solution
treated after cold work
Typical applications include:
Processing plant for sulphuric,
phosphoric and acetic acids
Pulp and paper processing
Components in gas scrubbing plants
Seawater cooling equipment
Oil refinery components
